Did you admire Fechter's acting?"
dc was a very good boulevard
actor, and avowedly an imitator of
Frederick Lemaitre. To see him and
Lemaitre as Ruy Bias for instance,
were two very different things. Fech-
ter knew this as well as any one else /:
he never could have done much at
the Theatre Franchise, whatever place
he might have occupied at the Porte
st. Martin. We were speaking to-
gether one day of Firmin's acting as
Don John Of Austria / remember
seeing him when l was a lad. and
recall how admirably he indicated the
soldier beneath the garb of the priest.
Compelled by his father, the young
warrior had taken holy orders; but his
gait, his bearing, his whole manner,
were martial. The contrast was
striking in its incongruity. | asked
Fechter if he could have managed
such an effect, and he frankly admit
ted that he could not. | saw his
Armand when he played in La Dame
aux Camelias with Nine. Doehe in
1850 and liked him in it but that
did not demand acting of the highest
class, as 'Ruy Bias did. AS for his
Hamlet-well, his appearance was
most picturesque, and had it been
possible to see him without hearing
him, the %personation would have
satisfied one. 1t was a performance a
deaf nan might have reveled in.
But when he came to speak, it was
b%uffoonery. If words and tones mean
anything at all, they demand an
adequate Interpretation. Fechter
could not speak English, and that
ended the whole matter. Even as far
back as 1851 when | breakfasted with
him in Paris, he had the distended
stomach that has been referred to In
the obituaries, The physicians had
told him that it was caused by an acid
turning into gas. He INDUCED in the
most remarkable beverage cham
payne and brandy. I don't see how
YOU can drink that l would say.
TAh you have never tasted it, he
would %reioin, enthusiastically. He
greatly admired Miss Nelson when
she first came out in London seven
teen years or so ago. There is a
young lady at the Victoria Theater
whom | think has the making of a
great actress Here Mr.. Boucicault
initiated Fechter's accent. What
do you think of Miss Neilson2' I
think her a very pretty woman l re-
piled. Fechter engaged her to play
with him, but she broke the con
tract"

about how these health and other officials
travel up and down the railroads Of the
country IN special trains and unmolested,
while palmer people are prohibited. The
railroad men doubtless understand how it
is and SO do the we'll paid officials, but
Others are inclined to believe if yellow
fever can be carried and scattered by one
kind Of a traveller it can by another.
The Howards have divided the city up
into ten districts, a member Of their socie-
ty and a physician being assigned to each.
Those in want of attention can obtain it
by applying at Knox's drug store in the

The Chicks and the Bluff City boys
may fatter themselves that with their
evening dress parades, and handsome
GAINESVILLE bellies to gaze upon their
stylish movements, they are having a
pretty nice time OF it up at their Clarks-
vile camp, and that we here at home are
deprived Of such enjoyments. If so they
are much mistaken. At the dress parade
of the Mcclellan and Zouave guards, last
evening, their sisters and their cousins
and their aunts by numerous dozens,
were there to admire and stimulate the
boys to martial action. And this was not
all. They had real music to keep step to,
aid spectators who wero not kinfolks were
present by a large majority.

At this particular time none but the
best and purest liquors should be used.
Especially the sick should be supplied
with the best brands of wines, gins, BRAN
dies, ale, porter, etc. Inferior liquors do
injury to the sick. One of the very best
places in the city where pure liquors can
be found, such as is especially adapted to
medical use, is the house of Tom Sullivan
on Main street, Immediately north of
Washington. He has a large stock Of
imported goods for sale which are UNI
equaled for purity or brand. His English
ales, porter, Dublin stout, French bran
dies, pure WHISTLES, Holland and English
gins cannot be excelled for strength, age
or flavor. Those who have charge of the
sick with yellow fever should remember
this and when necessary, apply to Tom
Sullivan for his best liquors. They will

A citizen driving in on the Holden

twelve years old on the highway some
six or seven miles from the city. The
boy had a shotgun as long as himself,
but nc game, and the citizen inquired:
Out for a hunt?"

"Well, no."

to the shock which he sustained, in the
