MISS DlCKINS0N'S ANNE
BOLEYN.
Nelo York Tribltate.

Ne,e York Tribune.
Miss Dickinson is type of force;
and as a type of force she was suff-
ciently successful. The qualities and
faculties that were exhibited-in the
performance of what is called "Anne
Boleyn"-are such as should fit their
possessor to be good administrator
of affairs. If King Henry's ill>starred
and more ill-gartered spouse was, in
deed, woman of the kind denoted in
Miss Dickinson, she might have regu-
lated the collection of the taxes, or
she might have presided with decorum
over public school. She could not
have failed to have "views;" and had
newspaper columns been available she
would probably have witten letters to
the editor. Firmness, combativeness
primness, acerbity, loquacity, mental
sutficiency, and kind of shimmering
metallic hardness of disposition, were
the salient elements of this embodi-
ment. To summarize it in sentence,
we should call it executive cleverness
masquerading unskillfully in the APP
peal of queen, and vainly pretend.

A WIFE CAN'T ROB HER HUS.
BAND.
Neao York Sun.

Nelo Y OT6 Sun. ~
Can wife steal her husband . prop
ty? This question recently arose be-
fore the English court for the consider
alton of crown cases reserved, where
only criminal causes are heard. The
prisoner, who had been police con-
stable, was convicted of receiving
stolen money and goods, which he
knew had been stolen from the prose-
cutor, an innkeeper at Burslem. The
theft was alleged to have been COM
nitted by the innkeeper's wife. She
lad undoubtedly left her husbands
house secretly, without his consent,
carrying away with her about 500 of
his money, his gold watch and other
articles, which she transferred TO the
prisoner. But his counsel contended
that there coN be no felonious re-
ceiver of stolen goods, without there
first being Il thief, and that the con-
viction was wrong because married
woman could not in law steal the
goods of her husband. The court sc
held, and qusahed the conviction,say
ing that although the goods were Iaker
by the wife, they were net stolen; thai
husband and wife were one, and 81
would be violation of the law of Eng
land to hold that a wife could steal he
husbands goods.

Circular Letter Semitic the U. s. District
Attorneys Adrising Economy.
By Telegraph TO the GAZETTE. +,
nda. WAsHIEeToN, d, c., April q.
The following important circular letter
has been sent to the U. s. District At
torneys, by the Attorney-General:
SIR -As' / enter Upon my official
duties I,find that the appropriation for
the expenses of the United States Courts
for this fiscal year is rapidly approaching
exhaustion. and that Congress has denied
all the applications that were made by my
predecessor for increased sum to bear
these expenses. The duty is thus forced
upon the officers of the departments to
retrench all possible expenses.
The circular further states. that the at
torneys are in great degree responsible
for the expenses, and calls upon them to
stop all expenses that can be stopped
with propriety. Economy and caution
is urged upon them as a full quarter Of
the year still remains to be provided for.
during which time expenses must be kept
to minimum point.
1t still further urges that witnesses who
are only important and be summoned,
and holding them as short time as posi-
BILE, and also dismiss the petit jurors at
early day as possible; and urging upon
the Grand Jury short session, selecting
Very cases for the trial, those only the
best supported by evidence. The U. s.
Commissioners must be watched, and
their expenses curtailed. Small cases
must be postponed, and in every possible
way economy must be forced upon the
officials. No money will be furnished to
marshals to conduct the business of the
Courts beyond the amounts of which
they were advised months ago.

that you would make an admirable,
faithful, and efficient Postmaster, and IL
would give me great pleasure to sign
your appointment. But, you see, there
Is one insurmountable obstacle in the

the cousin, s'this won't do, That is the
