DEATH OF FIGHTER Charles Fechter, the
actor, is dead. His disease was dropsy and
iaundice, and he was also afflicted with paral-
ysis. He had suffered several months, being
seriously ill during the past week.
Fechter was the man who created a sensa,
ton by some of his Shakespearian characters.
He was most erratic genius, fearful gour,
mand and so excitable that he WAS always in
hot water with some one. On the stage he
was the character he represented, forgetting
his own identity. The late William Wheately
told the writer soma years ago, that he actu-
ally heard Fechter in Hamlet exclaim, 80, my
prophetic soul, ma;i's Otgins" Substituting
in his absorption the German of uncle. His
death WAS undoubtedly the result of his own
indiscretion.

SULLY THE ARTIST.

Alfred Snlly by parties who only speak from
fan,o clamosa, that We propose giving little
sketch of his father who is said by the papers
to have left Alfred an Inheritance Of several
hundred thousand dollars.
When Victoria crowned, Thomas
Sully was commissioned by the Academy OF
Fine Arts of Philadelphia, to proceed t."
London and paint the young Queens portrait
if permission could be obtained. He was
accompanied by his daughter Blanche, and
the amiable Queen gave him several sttings.
His picture was severely criticised in Eng
land. 1t hangs to-day in the Academy III
Philadelphia, and represents fresh faced,
fair haired girl, in purple and ermine robes,
ascending the steps to the throne; one satin
covered foot just protruding from her robe,
and resting ON the step. She is looking with
a pleasant smile over her left shoulder; IA
position which gives fine view Of her fair
neck and shoulders, which are exposed. The
portrait is life size, and while well drawn,
and in excellent pose, the coloring is too
brilliant, though, when we last saw 1t, age
had toned it down. 1t was exhibited pub,
licy for some time and largely visited, but
has hung on the Academy walls for the past
forty years.
Mr. Sully was a gentleman of the old
school, popular portrait painter, and a great
enthusiast in art. The last time we ever Wis
tied his studio, he busy retouchne the
original portrait of Byron, painted by West,
an American artist, and which Byron said
was the best ever painted of him.
All, or most of our readers, have seen the
Byron engraved portrait with broad collar
fastened by brooch, displaying his throat.
That is the copy of the one | speak of. Mr.
Suiy had to our knowledge, but three chill
dren, Aired, lately dead, Blanche, who was
never married, and Mrs w. H. W. barley,
whose husband was brother to +. o. c. Oar
ley, the celebrated artist.
In an old fashioned brick mansion on Fifth
street above Chestnut, Mr. Suly lived for
more than half century, and there he died.
1t belonged to the Grard Estate. which is
controlled by the city, and when they demol-
Mr. Sully was left undsturbed till his death,

his bell crowned hat, tilted we'll back-could !
be seen on Chestnut street, leaning on the |
arm of a sad faced maidel lady, whose face |
was full of refinement, and bore traces of |
rare beauty. 1t was Thomas Suily and his |
daughter Blanche. a well known pair whom |
no one passed, covered
He died but few years ago, an old man,
md too poor to provide for his daughter
We have given this brief sketch of Mr.
Sully, because there has been so much said
'egarding the General and his Indian off
pring, and the great fortune left him, and
what is set down is simply from personal
and memory.

THE CALIFORNIAN PICNIC.

1t is popularity of our foreign
in q grand national brotherhood, tn.
love of fatherland is still kept enshrined
in their hearts and the customs and sports
are not forgotten. The Scotchman, among
the mines of Nevada, and it's rude associations
may no, longer cherish in his home, 1.-THE
big ha' bible ance his fathers pride, but he
does not forget it, He does not live on
"brose" or feast on haggis" but he re-
calls the time when, "Halesome parritch,
chief of o Scotlands food" was to him the
palladium dicae, and as the dreams of youth
come back to him, he still sits on his ''creepie"
and nurses his noggin' as he did when
astacherin wee things
And he loves the braes and purple heather
Of his old home with an undying love, and he
would not be a good citizen OF his adopted
country if he didn't.
We would as lief trust the man who can
whip his wife, or neglect his parents, as the
man who can forget his native land. There
are national organizations in our country
which are to be deplored, not because they
destroy patriotism, or are opposed to Amerl-
can institutions, but because they foster and
keep alive feuds which are out of place +;
indeed, should have no place in our country.
Among these the Caledonian Societies can
rot be classed, and their organizations are to
be praised, because, while they are charitable,
they also foster love of home, and keep
alive those feelings of patriotism which fired
the hearts of brave old Scotch chiefs who
preserved through ages, distinct nationality
which has descended to the present day.
The Caledonisn picnic is an event of interest,
and to see the hardy Scot engage in the ath
letic sports of "Auld lang Syne," when his
foot was on his native heath, should be
source of pleasure to all our people IN
fortunately we have no national games: if we
had, they would only become professional il.
short space, and die out under muscular train
ing and gambling rings. We are too smart to
engage in rustic games for pastime-in fact we
are too hard worked, and we lack yet con-
crete nationality ; and therefore these relics
of old countries, and old times, for they are
dying out even at home, should be like
studies of ancient customs and cherished as
such. We wish the CaIlants "a bra time
