AND now it behooves the Northern
papers, which howl so Justify about
the savage practice of Southern people
every time a man Is killed or hurt
down this way, and who teach that
Currie, who killed Porter IN Texas, is
a fair specimen Of SOutherners, TO
make few remarks about Booths
would-be assassin. Il is not South
ern man this time, and he was never
in the Confederate army, yet he had a
''true-blue" pistol, and deliberately
planned the assassination of an unsus-
pecting man, Is he a type Of North
ern civilization; a cropping out Of
the loose moral ideas and the isms of
the day, which breed in New England
and are carried to the West to de-
velop? We do not assert this, but it
would be fully as fsir and as reason
able as the persistedt course of our
lifelong and undying enemies Of the
North, who never let an opportunity
slip to assure the world that
Southern people at best are only
semi civilized. All, here is
food for editorial reflection. Let
the Chicago Tribune and the Inter
Ocean, the st. Louis Globe Democrat,
the Cincinnati Commercial, the Iudi-
annapolis Journal, the New York
Times aud all the papers Of that class,
turn to and explain the tendency to
brutality that is growing up all over
the North. The time seems to be at
hand when our good people of the
South will have to send missionaries

Born at Pond Bluff Plantation, ST. Matthew's Parish,
South Carolina in December 1886, DR.. Darby was grad
uated, after unusually thorough preparatory course
OF study from the Medical Department Of the University
Of Pennsylvania in 1853. He lived in Philadelphia

trast. The first act is called Spring the second
Autumn and the dullest mind can see that be-
tween Spring aud Autumn there are differences
capable of Visible presentation on the stage Mrs.
Bancrofts lyeliness and animal spirits impart
some life to the performance. She ~ really within
very sharply drawn limits good actress. But
Mr. Gilberts work has never taken strong hold OF
the public always excepting the libretto to H. NJ
s. Plnafore, with it's heavy-footed fun. Itwoud be
too much to attempt TO decide whether Mr. Gil
bers polysyllabic wit or Mr.. Sulliyans clever and
sparkling music are most attractive to the
English or American public. But the piece
l. given in London tonight for the 3l3th time It's
fame being now augmented by well-advertised
echo from your side of the ocean. Another case in
which American celebrity has done much Tor an
English performance Is that of Miss Nelson, whose
position became higher in England after her won
derful success in the United States. She is acting
in the " Hunchbacl," tho revival of which reaches
its fifty-fourth night on Monday. AS Lady TeazIe,
in the School for Scandal" she failed to make an
impression.
On Monday the company of the COm6die Fran
caise of Paris make their bow to London audience.
They play "Le Misanthrope.n the second act of
" "Pbedre," and Les Precieuses Ridicules." AL

raised against these intruders or, moro strictly
speaking. against general recognition of their
superiority to English actors and actresses.
One weekly review of great name has devoted an
elaborate article to comparison between Mile.
