John Mccullough.

In speaking of this great actor, who
PLAYS at the Opera House next Friday
and Saturday nights, the New York
Graphic says;
"Since Edwin Forrest, Americas
greatest tragedian, passed of the stage
Of life. no living actor has trod the
boards that could lay claim to having
inherited his crown. But these is an
actor that. next to Edwin Forrest, has
no peer. and it is but justice to say that
Mr.. Forests mantle appears 10 have
fallen ON his shoulders. We refer to
John Mccullough, who appeared last
night at Booths Theatre in Knowles
grand drama Of "Virginius.' The re-
collection of the glorious performance
will long linger in the minds OF the au-
dience, which was composed OF our very
best societv.'

Under the Waves.

Our readers are cOnversant with the
recent troubles of ex-Nightwatchman
Baxter, his incarceration in the work
house, and his escape to pastures new"
on the other side Of the Ohio. From
his recently adopted State, Baxter sent
word for his family to meet him, where
in quiet they might live together; A
small fish boat, or a dwelling boat, which
was the property of Baxter, was rugged

family were loaded thereon, and yester-
dav morning started 10 sail for the Ohio
shore. but before having gone very far
into the waters OF the river, the boat
sprung a leak and went down. The

Henry Ward Beecher will, for the
first time, appear before Wheeling
audience May 9th. In this period of
agitation on questions affecting Capital
and Labor, people will be curious to
hear what this great thinker and orator
has to say on the Reign of the Com
mon People" that being the subject Of
his lecture. 1t has been estimated that
he has addressed more people than any
other man in the nineteenth century.
His audience during his public career is
numbered by millions, and few men
have done more TO mould the public
sentiment of the century. On this trip
hundreds have been turned away for
want of standing room, and everywhere
his audiences are measured by the
capacity Of the hall in which he speaks.

feathery. Birds of brilliant plumage
| fluttcred about the woods and sang
gloriously through the long, bright
days. A vast variety Of animals and
insects contested with men the su.
premacy of the continent. In the cen.
ter was calm, blue sea, always
whitened with the sails Of ships pass.
| ing hither and thither like spectral
messengers while the wooded cliffs,
hammered with flowers, looked down
like beautiful women upon play
Into this attractive region came the
dark-eyed, black haired, brown-skinncd
Asiatics and occupied it. They had
never seen skies as sunny or earth as
green and beautiful as in Atlantis,
and they fell to building cities and
making vast gardens, after the man,
ner of their ancestors in Assyria, but
crystalizing many new architectural
ideas, as seen in the splendid remains
OF cognate people in Central Ameri-
ca and Mexico and Peru to-day The
Aztec chronology shows that seven
nations governed at one time in Next
co, they having emigrated thither
from Asia. 1t was people of the same
race who poured into Atlantis centu
ries before the Christian era, bringing
with them traces of the Asiatic civili-
ization which had reached such gran.
denr several centuries previously in
Assyria. There were cities on Allan.
It's Of 500,000 inhabitants, surrounded
by walls Of tremendous height and
thickness. The architecture was co
lossal 10 character, and the pyramidal
taste was somewhat developed.
Yet this whole Atlantis continent
kings, nations, cities, temples have
been sunk in vast ruin beneath the
waves of the ocean. The Pacific is
girdled with volcanoes which are spas
active. Who can tell when
the vast laboratory, deep down be-
meath the crust Of our globe, may not
WELD its stupendous power to enguIf
half OF South America? Who can say
that these same invisible forces which
wrecked Atlantis may not split off
part of our own continent and elevate
new realms, covered with the wrecks
of forgotten cities?

WHITE AFRICANS.

Major Pinto, the Portuguese explorer,
who has just crossed Africa, from Benguella
southwestward to Natal, describes a race OF
white men found by him near the head
waters of the Zambezi. He says:
IL one day noticed that one of the car
riers was a white man. He belonged to a
race entirely unknown up to the present
day. A great white people exist in South
Africa. Their name is Cassequer; they are
whittier than the Caucassians, and in place OF
hair have their heads covered with small
tufts of very short wool. Their cheek
bones are prominent, their eyes like those
of the Chinese. The men are extremely
robust. When they discharge an arrow at
an elephant the shaft is completely buried
in the animals body. They live on roots
and the chase, and it is only when these
supplies fail them that they hold any rela-
tions with the n%eighboring race, the Am
buelas, from whom they obtain food in eX-
change for ivory. The ~Cassequeres are an
entirely nomadic race, and never sleep two
nights in the same encampment. They are
the only people in Africa that do not COOK
their food in pots. They wander about, in
groups of from four to six families, over all
the territory lying between the Cuchi and
the Cubango. 1t would seem that from a
crossing of the ~Cassequeres with the negroes
of other races sprang those mulattoes of
the south, whom the English call Bushmen.
The latter are, however, better off than the
Casseoreres. and use pots in cooking their
food, while their dispositions are good,
though quite opposed to civilization"
Unfortunately Major Pinto does not say
whether he saw more than one of the white
Africans he describes, or whether the &C
count he gives OF them is based on observa-
ton or on hearsay. His promised book
may clear up the matter.
Be slow to promise and quick to per.
