AMERICAN SECURITIES.

AS an historical event. it will be re.
membered that when the City of Glas.
gov Bank failed for so vast an amount a
year or two ago, the English papers took
especial pains to tell the public that this
failure was in a great measure owing to
the depreciation of American bonds
railway and State-in which the Bank
had largely invested. Notwithstanding
the British Courts developed the true
cause OF the disaster by tracing it home
to the dishonest speculations of the Di-
rectors of the Bank, and by furnishing
them accordingly, the old story is still
occasionally reiterated. The public are
frequently warned not to invest in Amer
lean securities. But Mr.. John Cameron
the liquidator of the Bank of Glasgow
who is now in this country for the pur-
pose of disposing of the American rail
way bonds which he found among the as
sets Of the bank, says that he has dis
posed Of them for 81, 100000 more than
they were inventoried at when the bank
went into liquidation. The American
securities have proved to be the best as
sets of the bank. Its unfortunate cred
itors will have reason to thank their good
fortune for the investment. The bank
has already paid sixty-six and two-thirds
per cent. on its liabilities within the past
year. Its affairs are being closed up with
a rapidity that we know nothing about
in this country in similar cases. Un-
fortunately for its creditors the affairs of
a broken bank in America are never
wound up until its assets are all "ab-
sorbed."

"Miss Gwilt before fair-sized audience. A
heavy rain storm kept many persons from
the theater. The actress was well rt ceived.
Mr.. Lawrence Barrett has apparently
been guilty of a somewhat extraordinary
act. During his recent engagement in
Cleveland the wife of John Ellsler, man,
ager of the theater was announced to sun
port the tragedian. Mrs. Ellser had fofS
merly supported Mr. Booth and Mr.. Mo-
Cullough. Suddenly, and without any
warning, Mr.. Barrett gave orders that the
ladys name should be taken out of the cast
This proceeding aroused much Indignation,
and evoked letter from the manager, in
which he acknowledged that the report was
true.
Mr.. j. H. Haverly states that the report
concerning the proposed appearance in this
country next season of Salvini and Rstori
is premature. He thinks that the report
was not authorized by Salvini. The latter

ager to appear in the United states this
year; but the engagement was finally post
poned until next year. Mr. Haverly claims
therefore that the great Italian actor owes
him, and him alone, faithful allegiance.
On the other hand Mr.. Chzzola has an
nounced that Salyini and Ristori would ap-
pear together next autumn under his d.
rectorship. Thus the matter stands for the
present.

capitals can exceed New York
in the amount of street beg
ging that is carried on habitually.
We all know how hard it is to refuse
help to those who are in distress and ask
our aid, but unhappily for the good of
the deserving and really needy poor it is
very unsafe to bestow indiscriminately
upon all those who demand assistance
from door to door or who solicit aims
from passers in the street, since repeated
investigations have shown that the most
pitiful tales of suffering are more fire.
quently fictitious than otherwise, and
that nine-tenths of the sturdy beggars in
the street are impostors, who go about
gathering up the gifts that the charitable
are always ready to bestow upon those
who deserve their aid. Let no one with
hold charity that ought to be given, but
it is a duty to scrutinize the mendicants
who apply very carefully before giving
to them, lest you give to the undeserv-
ing what ought to be bestowed on those
who are really and truly suffering.

and during their continuance having
assumed a playful tendency to butcher

apparently stood very much upon the
order of their going, but have gone at
once. But John Bull has a tolerably
heavy paw, and pretty tenacious men,
ory, so that we may look for Johnny
Theebaw's next dramatic performance to
take place in British straight-jacket
and for an army of observation to set
down before the front door of the King
dom of Burmah asking so big a sum by
way of indemnity and guarantee for the
future, that it will take about the whole
OF Burmah to satisfy j. Bull, ESQ.,, for
the injured honor and mental anguish his
Royal Highness, the august Theebaw, has
caused him to suffer. The mysterious
dlspensations of Providence, as interpre-
ted by John Bull, are something past
finding out. In this case, however, they
may be found out with very little guess

THE tide of emigration to this country
appears to be setting in from among the
sturdy English agricultural and manu-.
featuring classes heretofore untouched
almost with the desire to leave the homes
that, however humble, have been priced
by the Englishman as his castle. A party
of some seven hundred intelligent skilled
mechanics is reported as about to bid
farewell to Albion and turn their faces
to the west. Most of them bring capital
sufficient to establish themselves COM

stand third. During the eight years from
1871 to 1878 the population of this coun-
try was increased by 2,1OO,451 immi-
grants. OF these 5S9,129 came from

JOSHUA wHITCOMB.


Mr.. Denman Thompson in his great SEN
sation, Joshua Whitcomb," opened Mon
day night and has played all the week to
business that taxed the house to its utmost.
Mr.. Thompson's superb delineation of YAM
kee character has not had an equal within
the memory of the present generation of
theater-goers, and the wonderful success he
has met with here has followed him all over
the country. Although interest centers in
"Uncle joshua" a very nice play is built
around it, in which Tot" Miss Julia Will
son, appears to excellent advantage. She
is very clever little actress, and makes a
good impression. The rest of the company
is also quite good, and the play, aside from
Mr.. Thompson's Yankee character, is very
acceptable. Joshua Whitcomb" at the
matinee to-day and tonight. Secure seats
at Hawley's or the box office of the theater.
FRITZ IN IRELAND.

ways played to crowded houses even when
presenting a piece which had been seen
by the public again and again. His new
piece is called 'Fritz in Ireland, or The
Bell Ringer of the Rhine and the Love of
the Shamrock"
He comes supported by fine company,
some of whom will be recognized as old
favorites here.
