Mary Anderson's Dream.

Ere finally deciding whether to go
upon the stage, Miss Anderson, ac-
cOmpanied by her father, sought an
interview with Charlotte Cushman at
Cincinnati. Miss CuShman returned
the card stating that she "would see
DR.. Griff6n and daughter for five min
UteS," doubtless anticipating that in
that time she could satisfy herself that
her caller was only another stage
struck girl to be remlnded to private
life. Their interview, however, was
prolonged to over three hours, during
which Miss Cushman tested the young
Kentucky girls abilities in many ways
and gave her much good advice as to
methods of study, etc, for the dra-
matte career upon which she pro-
nOunced her competent to enter at
once. This was in February. Miss
CuShman died a few months. later,
and it is a coincidence that the day
she died was the same day on which
Miss Anderson attended her first res
hearsal under a regular professional
engagement, and that night had
strange dream that remains inefface-
able in her memory. In her vision
she found herself in Boston i'll a room
in which Charlotte Cushman lay dead
In her coffin with laurel crown upon
her head. AS she approached the cof-
fin she heard Miss Cushman's we'll
known voice exolaiIlI, "Play Afcded," "
and soon the dead tragedienne rose
from the casltet dressed in the costume
of that queen of the ArgOnauts, and
walked to and fro the room with all
her olden majesty, ever and anon eX-
claiming, "Piay Mcded,n and as the
vision faded away the echoes of those
deep tones resour ded in her ears,
"P1ay fcolcd." Yet the role in ques>
ton is not one that the young girl as
Eires to, for SO faT she has kent firmly
to a resolve not to play any character
wherein she has to identify herself
with q woman whose influence was
corrupting.

it or 90. The Democrats of Tennessee
do not look for proclanlations in that
quarter. John NJ. Bright said it is not
necessary to digniSy Keys letter by
any notice whatever. 1t will fail
still-born. Key amounts to nothing.
He is not considered Democrat, and
has no influence in Tennessee in either
party. WhitthOrne says: "The only
sign of Revolutionary tendency, or
of NIexlcanizatioTf.t that l have seen is
the God and liberty proclamation of
Postmaster General Key" Gen. Dib-
rell said: 1--WE all regard it as a direct
attack upon us. 1t is a great piece of
impertinence upon the part of Mr..
Key to attempt to dictate to our friends
in Tennessee. 1t is an insult and an
outrage. 1t has killed him with his
party. But we expected something of
this kind from him. When we heard
the report that he would have to leave
the Cabinet L predicted then that he
would do something of this kind to
keep his place. His letter simply
urges the people to send Republicans
in our place, and was, in my opinion,
prepared for him to Sign.n

sense, but his obligation as a British
officer, as to reveal to him the details
of the English torpedo system. The
story seems almost incredible, but, il

he had been indulging too freely, and
was scarcely conscious of what he was
doing, but the event shows how alb

be hushed up, but the public will be
very much surprised, and certainly
have good reasons TO complain, if His
Royal Highness is ever iutrusted with

The pauntless Murat.

At Naples he was beloved 10y his
soldiers for his valOr; by the aristOcra-
cy of that which was then the idlest
and most dissipated capital in Europe
for his profuse hospitality, and by the
lazZaroni for his Openhandedness. He
was a magnificent patron of the arts
which administered to pOmp and
show; and he was positively idOlized
by the military tailOrs and his dressCrs.
This soldier of fortune, who was as
brave as a lion, and who, as a husband
and father, was eXemplarily faithful
and tender, but whose conversation
smaclled of the guard room and the
troopers stable, was wont to attire

The Good and The Bad.

There is a thousand times more

the newspapers are engaged in finding
out all the mean things that are done.
Unless thing is a bad thing it is not

houses of the country and find the
name of some man who had practiced
self-denial for the sake of wife and

gpeeial Dispatch to the Chicago Times.
WAsInNGToh, May 99.--Mr, Keys
letter appears TO have shot him into
the bosom of the Republican party.
Charles Foster said to-day that the
letter had put an end to the movement
looking to Keys retirement from the
Cabinet. The Republicans who have
been urging it now say that since this
bold stand has been taken Ivy Mr.. Key
lie should Le supported. There is but
one comment among Democrats upon
the subject. They say that the letter

flee. 1t is strange that where Key has
tried so elaborately to produce an i'm
preston of: lofty patriotism he should
succeed only in creating an impression
of official EendicanGy. The TepneS-
see members are especially indignant.
They are busy this evening arranging
a letter that il to be published to-mor-
row, addressed TO the Democrats of
Tennessee, denOuncing Key as an
apostate. This will be signed by both
Senators and all of the Democratic
House members from Keys State.
Something of the spirit of the letter is
shown in the following interview with
Tennessee members of the House. Mr..
House said the boot was uplifted to
kick Key out, and that he sigued this
letter prepared for him to keep his
place. He also believes that the letter

A NAN OF IRON.
The Joiats Of Els Body Eavs Ill Grown
Solid.

Jonathan II. Bass, of Cambria, Nj
agra county, has not joint in his
bod. He went to bed in 1867 and
has never been out of it since. He
cannot move even finger. He ran
as captain Of canal boat between Buff
falO and Rochester in 1850, and was
getting stiff then. When he could
not do any work he had to quit canal
ing, and then went to housekeeping.
His joints kept getting stifler and
SITTER. The doctors could do him no
good, and at last had to give up, and,
after twenty-One Years, he has been
abed at the farm homestead of his FAM
lily, between LockpOrt and Lewiston.
His trouble commenced with a pain
shooting through the bottom Of his
right foot that tumbled him to the
ground. The foot commenced to
swell and got almost twice its natural
size. Stiffness in the joints followed.
Now Bass is literally a bone man.
There is no more bend in his legs,
arms and body than there is in mar
bic statute. His arms are as fast TO
his sides as if they were nailed there.
For eight years after he went to bed
he could move his arms, but the joints
finally became solid bone. They have
to feed him with a spoon. His jaw
are as immOvable as his other joints
There is space between his teeth Just
wide enough to get food through. In
1869 he became blind. His mind is
sound, but he speaks with difficulty.

the table where he was to shoot, and
had been thoroughly inspected by the
