Mss Mary Anderson, who is engaged
for the Memphis Theater here early
in January, appeared at the Fifth Ave
nue. Theater. New York, Monday rsaht.
in Dean Milman's tragedy Of Fazio-
the 6rst time the play has been PROF. ICED
there in some years. The Herald says
Of her Blanca"
As the passion of the play rose the
actress rose With il. In the second act
love first riyen with jealous suspicious
and f~orbodings, brought forth a glimpse
OF power swiftly recognized by the su-
dience. Bat later on, when the suspicion
becomes a terrible certainty, when the
story of the deed of marital wrong is
brought to her by another lips, and the
heart OF the injured woman turns to gall
as she cries:
I'll rend him from her, though she wind
Like the vine around the elm. I'll pluck
him of,
Though thu life crack at parting.
there was q whirlwind in her passion,
which, in this respect, places her the
foremost on eur stage. The death scene
was as painful as the author has drawn
II, and the whole impression of her per.
Torrance was one of singular power and
effectiveness. The house was literally
packed.
The Graphic is still more enthusiastic
in its praise:
She was called before the curtain last
night at the end of the last four acts, and
at the close of the fourth act was
awarded a vociferous double recall. She
was especially effective with the audience
in those passages which exact intense
passion. The New York boards have
rarely witnessed more superb efforts
than those which brought the fourth and
fifth acts to a close. There was an over
flowing house, and the audience was very
enthusiastic. Miss Anderson's patron
age has steadily increased, and we're her
engagement prolonged she would pack
the Fifth Avenue Theater for three
months to come. 1t is to be hoped that
the management will engage her Tor early
in the spring. New York has not had
enough of her.
Joseph Jefferson had an unpleasant
experience in Troy, N. Y. The theater
contained less than a hundred persons
at the matinee performance. In the
evening the attendance was better; but
just as he was about to dress for Rip
Van Wrinkle two deputy sheritfs seized
his wardrobe. Manager DAILY had re.
fused to give back the money to a wo-
man who had bought a ticket under a
misapprehenSion, and she had brou hit a
suit for damage. The curtain did not
rise until nearly 8 o'clock. The price of
the ticket was ~thirty.fve cents, and Mr..
counsel fees and expense of sub
sequently returning to Troy have al.
ready amounted to over a hundred dol.

CENTS and -four per cent interest for the
figures in the first section Of Frierson's
bill was adopted by a vote of 80 to 81
a bare constitutional majority.
This was the same as an acceptance of
Mr.. Phelan's bill, which he believes will
be finally passed. He is supported in
this belief by the fact that probably one
half of the high tax men viii come to it.
A rather decided disposition to do that
was manifested by some of those gentle
men this afternoon, and who will in all
probability act inits favor from this time
forth.

GoYRRNoR PoRrRR.

The following telegram, voluntary on
the part OF the sender, was received yes
terday afternoon:
NKw YoRK. December 20. 1877.
Hen. james D.. Porter:
Funding Association limited; adhere
to previous position. We cannot recon-
mend b~ondholders to take less than fifty
cents with six per cent. interest.
HUGH MCCULLOUGH, President.
It is proper to state that letters re-
Gently published, duplicating Governor
Porter as being interested in a scheme
TO make money out of tie settlement of
the State debt, we're published at his re-
quest. he asked Mr.. Johnson, repre-
sentative from Henry county, and Mr..
Hawkins, senator from Carroll, to state
in their respective houses this morning
that be ceurted afnll investigation Of the
matter, feeling confident that be could
reiute the charges contained in those
documents against him.-[Banner, 2lst
We are surprised that Governor Por-
ter should pay any attention to letters
written by irresponsible sharpers in New
York. We saw the letters in the Amer
lean, but did not regard them as worthy
of any notice. These letters we're writ
ten to the redoubtable McKiunon, who
figures around Nashville as the agent of
a New York syndicate and positively
refuses to take a snub. In one Of the
letters the writer speaks of Governor
Porter and three others being in q ring
to make money out Of the proposed
funding business. Porter had Veiy
properly repealed McKinnon's familiari.
ty. McKinnon has since been to
New York, and on bis return to
Nashville he received these letters
and showed them to members Of the leg
islature. Governor Porter got hold Of
the letters through q friend and caused
their publication. Now he asks for an
investigation. This we deem unneces
sary. We have differed totally from the
governor in his financial policy, but
never charged or in~sinuated dishonest
motives or intentions on his part. The
LEDGER was the first and only daily
Democratic paper 10 the State to attack
the funding bill in 1873, and we kept uI
the war until it was emasculated and
virtually repealed. When Governor
Porter, just after his second nomins
ton, to the surprise of nearly every.
body, announced that he would
pay out all the money he could
rake and scrape into the treasury fol
coupons, dollar for dollar, thus prscti
cally reviving the odious funding bill
we we're constrained to c%riticise his &C
ton severely, and to withhold our furthel
active support, although his election wa
a foregone conclusion. But in all this
while doubling his ability and question
ing his judgment, we never attacked hi
character or impugned bis motives. W,
have no more doubt as to his strict 10
tegrity than we have Of his Obstinsoy 0
opinion and unbounding selfesteem, an
a stronger comparison could hardly b
made.

An AIR Pointer and a Tall setter.


A Memphis dog named Gladstone"
lately pointed a quail while he was leap
ing a ditch, standing it, his owner says,
with both head and tail. But he could
not stand it in the air, like the dropper
"Cebblestone" hereinafter set forth. We
also learn that this "blue blood" and
another blue were both beaten in the
field, aye, doubled 90 eovies combined,
by a homemade dropper who is in the
sere and yellow leaf of old age.
"Stumptail' tied them both with a guy

GERMANTOWN. Pa, December Is, 1877.
To the Editor Of the Chicago Field;
In your issue OF December 5 Glad

"Cobblestoue' e%clipses both completely;
he is q "dropper," and at the time Of this
surprising feat was suffering from field
trial distemper, a disease which usually
accounts for the bad figure that many
celebrities cut on those trying occasions.
And this is what he did: Il give it as a
fact (?) although | did not see it" but
his owner will swear about it, aud be is
a reliable man. A bird was marked
down over a ditch less than a mile off.

bird, be caught himself on the fly, and
remained doubled up on a magnificent
point in ethereal space. His owner
flushed and killed the bird, and "Cobble-
stone released from magnetic attrac.
ton, dropped beautifully 70 shot, and
took water" and this without spilling
any Of the medicine or allowing even the
froth to flow from his mouth. Glad

enough; a dog that won't step the in
