Who Heard This 7

The Louisville Courier-Jolunal has
of late presented its readers with some
stage stories. Among them is the fol-
lowing in relation to the elder Booth:
Once Richard Ill" was played in
Rochester, and at rehearsal the mem
bers of the company warned the
gentleman to whom Richmond was
assigned, and who had never played
against Booths Richard. He was told
that Booth frequently made the duel a
very serious matter, and his apprehen-
sions were worked upon to such de-
gree that he resolved to prepare him.
self for the encounter. Instead of
applying to the property man for the
sword usually used by Richmond, he
obtained the immense weapon reserved
for the Richelieus. The play was duly
produced, and, when the final scene
came about, Booth Numbered on and
met his Richmond holding aloft a blade
of enormous size. What the - do
you mean by having such a sword as
that" exclaimed Booth, soto voce.
Look here, Mr.. Booth" whispered
Richmond, I've heard of your doings
in this scene, and if you come any of
your tricks upon me I'll beat the life
out of you Booth was so astonished
that the combat and death of his
Richard is said to have been on the
occasion exceedingly tame and disap-
pointing.

Parker, Not Lincoln.

Mr.. Lincoln has often been credited
with the expressive phrase, "Of the
people, by the people, for TIE people"
1t was not original with him, however
Theodore Parker first used it, and often
used it during the last decade of his
life. A lady who was long member of
Mr.. Parker's household, and who assist
ed him in his intellectual work, says
that the idea did rot spring at once to
his mind in its perfect conciseness; he
had expressed it again and again with
gradually lessening diffusiveness before
he gave the address to the Slavery
Society, May 10, 1854, where it appears
thus: "Of all the people, by all the
people, and for al the people," as pub
ished in Additional Speeches, vol. 2, p.
25. "But that" she adds, "was not
quite pointed enough for the weapon he
needed to use so often in criticising the
national action, to pierce and penetrate
the mind of nearer and reader with that
Just idea of democracy, securing it there
by much iteration; and can distinctly
recall his joyful look when he afterward
read it to me in his library, condensed
into this gem: "Of the people, by the
people, for the people"

M0rtanuy in Cities.

cities of the Union during the year 1878.
The figures were collected 10y Health
Officer Minor, and can be relied upon as

cinnati Is placed at figure which is be-
ieved ~ competent judges to be far
below what it really is, and which, no
doubt, viii be found to be erroneous
when a correct census is taken, rs is
proposed by DR. Minor in communica-
ton which he made to the Police Board,
and which was most favorably received
by tEat body. Chicago, on the other
hand, us Will be seen, has an inflated
population of 100000; these figures are
arrived at by including all the county

California NeathT.

/. The present is the severest winter
they have had in California for a long
time, and it has increased the mortality,
chiefly among persons of middle and
advanced age, fully 20 per cent. At the
same time, when their weather is COM
pared with Eastern winters, it becomes
difficult to understand why they should
find it SO trying. For about two months,
with occasional rain, they have had a
white frost every morning; but, as soon
as the sun was fairly up, that has disap-
peared. A beautiful sky was overhead /;
there was only just wind enough to
give motion to the atmosphere, and,
when the sun was up, doors and win
dows could be left wide open to let in
sunlight, air and the odor of flowers.
At night, however, CRATE fires were
pleasant and extra blankets serviceable.
The increase in mortality is attributed
to the lack of Yrecaution of old resi-
dents, who are not accustomed to find
heavy clothing necessary.

A Chinese Review.

A Chinese review has just been wit.
messed and described by a correspondent
of the Shanghai Courier. The men,
clad in uniforms of red and blue, were
ranged in two ranks, every tenth man
holding bright scarlet flag, while q
sergeant in the middle gave tho time
to the advance by waving huge Grim
son standard. At the sound of horn,
which resembled the humming of gi-
gantic bee, the battalion prepared to
receive cavalry. Out popped a soldier
brandishing pike, which he poked at
an imaginary assailant; then, uttering a
shrek like an owl, he fourished his
shield, turned a somersault, and trip
pingly retired to the ranks. When
everybody had popped out, brandished
and poked his pike, shrieked like an
owl, fiourished his shield, thrown a
somersault, and retired, the big bore
hummed once more, the soldiers formed
in square, and one of them danced
gravely but energetically forward,
throwing out his right leg with grace
fl jerk; then, bounding backward, he
again danced forward, this time throw
ing out his left Then he jumped, he
waltzed, he capered, he pranced, he
turned head over heels, rolled himself
well in the dust (Which rose in clouds,
stood on the back of his neck while he
fourished his legs in the air, recovered
himself, grasped wildly with his arms at
nothing in particular, made grotesque
courtesy to the Viceroy, and retired
With this martial spectacle the review
concluded.

A Creditable Contrast.

We have under one Government and
one flag territory larger than that
ruled by dozen Governments in Eu-
rope, and the difference in the salaries
paid to Kings and royalty and those
paid the servants of our people in our
republic is striking. The Gar of Rus
STA gets So, 250,000 per year, or $50 900 q
day, The Sultan of Turkey gets annu-
ally $6,000,000, or $4,000 per day. Ma
poleon III, had salary of s5,000,000
annually, or $4,000 each day. Francis
Joseph, of Austria, receives $4,000,000
year, or $4,000 day. King William
of Prussia, is paid $3,000,000 per year
and Victor Emmanuel $2,400,000, and
good Queen Victoria manages to live on
$2,000,000. Now, in addition to these
salaries, each sovereign is furnished
with dozen or more frst-class resi-
dences free Of cost. In this country
our President gets only $4,000 year
just us much as the Gar of Russia
gets in two days. Gen. Sherman re-
ceives in all some $4,000 per year
only fraction more than the Sultan of
Turkey gets each day. The whole ex-
pense of an American Congress for
session Of six months will not exceed -
incidentals and all-$4, 100000. The
people in this country complain of hard
times. Let them study the pauperism
of England, and our word for it, they
will deem the condition of our poorer
classes q comparatively happy one.

PnrdOned.

Dr. Kerwin, the famous Ireland's Eye
murderer, has Just been released from
Spikes Island prison, in Queenstown
harbor, after twenty-seven years Of in
generation. The murder for which this
man was convicted, in 1861, was one of
the most celebrated criminal cases Ire.
land has ever known. DIR. Kerwin was
a wealthy and very distinguished physi-
clan in Dublin, During the early sum-
mer of 1851 he visited the island in the
harbor of Dublin known as Irelands
Eye. Soon after, the body OF his wife
was found on the beach of this island.
The woman had been stabbed to death
with the blade of sword-cane. The
visit of the doctor to the island was
readily established, but there was little
or no evidence going to show that his
wife had accompanied him. Indeed,
tho evidence throughout was of q cir
cumstantial nature, and the efforts put
forth by the doctors many wealthy
friends to save his life were unceasing
and multlform. The ablest legal talent
in Great Britain defended him. The
jury, after protracted trial, convicted
DR.. Kerwin OF murder in the first de-
gree, and he was sentenced to death.
The Queen, taking into consideration
the fact that the evidence upon which
the prisoner was convicted was wholly
circumstantial, committed the sentence
to penal servitude for life. From this
sentence he is now released.

Some Things q Girl Can DO.

There is young lady in Louisville
whose bosom friend recently removed
to New York, and Of course they were
to write long, long letters to each other
every week. The Louisville girl re-
ceived the first letter Saturday and lost
it the same day sleigh-riding. Yester-
day she sat down and wrote the follow
ing:
My DEAR OLD FANNIE: have received your
sweet letter and lost it. Please forgive me-
won't you? / have forgotten your address and
write this to ask you to send it Immediately,
when will answer your letter and tell you
ever so many nce things that have happened
since you left. Lovingly, your ANNIE.
Whereupon Annie folded her letter
sealed it, and then discovered that she
had forgotten Fannie's address. And
there is not drop of Irish blood in
Armies veins. - Louisville Courier
