THE PASSION or A IRA GEDLAN.
Mr. Sala has been attacking dead actors
in 7'ouclstone. He charges Macready
with having habitually used foul and
blusphenlous language behind the scenes
An apologist has come to the front who
hints that air. Sala may have been led
astray by that in the last act OF
"Macbeth' Macready invariaDle lashed
into sort of fever which he aggravated
by using ael sorts of strong expressions
When Mr.. Phelps played Macduffto him
for the first time, he was not a little
amazed duling the fight at the close Of
the lust act to hear Macready call him a
beast, a sc6undrel, hcll-born villain, a
base born cur, and devil. Full of re-
sentiment, Phelps hurled back the
epithets with energy, and heaped foul
names upon Macresdy. At the close
Macieady said. "Thank you, Mr. Phelps,
thank you; I've never ljSen SO well sup
ported" In another play, where it was
necessary to enter IN painting fury, full
OF rage, exhibiting the grasping exhaus7
tion Of a mad passion, Macrtady used to
have hired "supe5" whom he would
grapple and shake and curse at, off the
stage so that he could enter naturally.
One night the regular super" sent sub
stitute who did not understand the busi-
ness. He resented Macready's rough
treatment, which delighted the tragcdian,
who went at his man with increased Wig
or. The substitute presently "let nim
have it," end the pair fought sayagely,
good round. Macrendy that night burst
upon his audience in splendid rage,
out-Macreadying Macready. When the
substitute learned the true state of affairs
however he bolted but he was uncarthed
for Macready came of alter the scene
gaspiug. "Hum ha! where is hei Hum

The Indian Situation.


The late news from the south seems
to warrant tho belize. that the war gainst
the Piutes and Mallieurs is about at an
end, many having already surrendered,
and others seeking terms of surrender.
The Bannocks and Snakes seem still to
be on the war path, having left the Pr
utes and gone in the direction of their
old homes, but killing and robbipg as
they go, and making the roads and the
settlements very unsafe. How long
they will hold out is probably dependant
upon whether they effect any further
combinations with the .Lemhi Indians
and other scattered bands who have am-
munition, arms and other sinews Of
1T is now pretty we'll settled that not
over 40 warriors of White Birds band
had left the British Possessions up to
the 10Th of July, and not more than 35
ever have crossed this side of the Bitter
Root mountains. One party Of these
murdered several men on the other side
Of the mountains, and soon after Lieut..
Wallace made of that party six good In
dams and killed andcaptured about fifty
horses. The remnant came over and
have shown themselves at different
points on this side. One of the Kamias
provided them with Ii head of horses.
They went upon Salmon river and STAN

whites, robbed china store and several

beat two cinnamon, but so far as VIC can
learn they have killed no one, altho' it
was at first supposed they had killed two
Frenchmen who afterwards came in all
safe. Being hunted on the south side
of Salmon river by the Mt. Idaho vol.
unteers, they re-crossed to the north side
at old Billy's ferry and showed them
selves on the stage road between this
and Mt. Idaho, and passed northward
in the direction of the forks of Clear
water. Indian report says they are on
the head waters of the Potlatch creek
This lacks confirmation. They may or
may not be in the mountains northeast
Of this place They evidently arc toe
much crippled to do any serious damage
in the way of fighting. Some of their
squaws have surrendered and one of the
bucks was brought in prisoner by the
kamias. We think from the present
outlook that but little further apprchon
sion Of trouble need be entertained, yet
it will be well for our people to no. &C

THE Coon TEMPLARS' ENTERTAINMENT.
The first of these entertainments will be
given in Washington Hall Monday evening,
very fortunate in securing tile services of
Mr. Charles Davies, who will inaugurate their
Winter Evening Free Entertainments by
Dramatic Readings and Recitations at that
our people have rare treat in store for them.
MIR. Davies excels, we think, in dramatic re-
citations, and an evening with Shakespeare,
Sheridan, Bulwer and others, interpreted
by him, cannot fail to be very pleasant and
profitable one. The Good Templars extend
a cordial invitation to all TO be present-no
admttance charged and no collection, tl,eir
object being to offer TO our people series of
choice entertainments during the winter, with
a view of increasing the interest in their good
work Of reformation In addition to Mr..
Davies readings, choice selection of music
will be rendered during the evening.
CHURCH MATTERS. The Rev. Mr.. Craw-
ford preached-in the Presby terian Church on
