IDENTIFY the result of careful study, but the
study 10 far too apparent and his art does not
attain the level of concealing it. Of course
it is difficult to say what one would doif con-
froatod by ghost. Most people would
probably behave III singular fashion, but |
doubt whether any one would posture and
sttitudinize so much as Mr.. Booth. His main
faults, indeed, are over-posturing, over-em-
phasizing and -gesticulating. In the "to
be- or not to be" soliloquy he surely ought to
muse aloud his thoughts with the very faintest
explanatory action of his hands. Instead ofthls
he acts every line and every word, as though
he were awaresthst he is becg watched by
critical audience. Not Cor one moment does
no convey the impression that he is Hamlet;
he never gets beyond creditable imitation
of one. When he is colloquial, his elocu'ion
is good; when he ceases to be, it Is bad.
Whenever he fancies himself at his best, he is
at his worst, and what he thinks his worst Is
his best. Whenever he has to portray inten'
slty of passion, his staginess ia most mart ed,
and he is fond Of giving vent to strange it,
articulate grosnings and other such noises in
order to let his audience into the secret that
hi soul ia overweight. He can seldom say
a word without suitiDg the action to it, and
he acts as much with his hand. and his eye
brows q. his voice. Some of his postures are
ungraceful, Others graceful br. inapprV-
pirate. He is too fond of bending his knees
almost double beneath him, and of assuming
an angle so near to forty. Ave that one won

ELSEWHERE we publish this morning
an extrtctfrom the New Ytrk Evening Mail,
stalwsrt. republican paper, which takes the
ground that tbe,government cannot afford
10 open itspurse-strings to any extent for the
Improvement of the navigation of the Mis-.
sis,iippi. |, damns the proposition with faint
praise, and takes particular pains to state that
Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi and other
southern states are the ones TO be benefited
mostly by such work. Is not that the rub
with the. Mail? If it was Massachusetts,
New York and other northern states that
were TO be benefited would the Mail suggest
that the government must stick to economy =?
Did the Mail ever raise objection to any ap-
preparation that was proposed or made for
the benefit of any hfrbor en- the northern
coast, for the improvement of ony river in
any northern state! Why should the south
be deprived of its quota, of an equal share of
appropriations for the advantage Of its CON-
merceG Isit extravaganza on the part of the
government to expend money in aid ofthat
which will help to unfold and increase its
commercial interest, and that will yearly
add millions to the general wealth Of the
country By levying the Mississippi and its
tributaries thousands upon thousands of acres
Of land that will produce from one to two
bales Of cotton per acre, will be reclaimed
for settlement and cultivation. viii they be
Of no advantage to Che country as whole
If the..Mail, and papers ofits ilk, could for
get their. bitter hatred Of and prejudice
against the people of the south long enough
70 be.juss, the coun,ry.would be happier and
more prosperous.

TO GENTLEMEN OF TASTE.

We, tire undersigned, DO most respectfully
invite YOU 10 call and examine our superb
stock of fine IMPORTED wooLENs, which we
make up in the late styles as reported by
New York reporters Of FASHIONS, and we
employ none hut the very best workmen to
be bad. We do not show you samples, but
show you whole patterns, and will rot tell
you anything concerning those patterns bu!
what is absolutely true, We will not tell
you that by ordering Of us that we will send
your oid'rs to New York and there have
them M, d by the best workmen in that city
at saving of 10 TO 10 per cent, for two
reasons, VIZ:
First, because we are not sending away
from home 70 have our work done, but are
building up in your midst an industry which
We hope will meet the approval of all good
people who have the interests of this com.
m unity at heart. and who believe in patron.
izing home. We are now supporting nine
families who distribute their resources among
the many mercantile interests of this city,
therebymakipg up portion of what is so
needed here) the useful population of this
community, and to ask the public to patron
ize some foreign enterprise would be an i'm
position on this community.
Second, because no gentleman, of any
intelligence whatever but would
reason that it would be i'm.
possible to employ the best workmen in
New York without paying them the best
prices, Tor even more), that these best work.
men can get in New York; and as these best
workmen are in such great demand by New
York merchants, it would DO impossible to
secure their services at all, especially for a
few orders that we might send them. And
furthermore, when expresssgeis added to the
high prices asked by FIRST CLASS TAILoRs of
New York, any one will readily see that the
mere nominal prices asked by us, would not
reach those Of New York, by at least % per
cent. These are facts, as we can show by
lrbor prices as paid to workmen by iirst-class
tailors in New York, and we give them to
this community that they will not allow any
body, be he jew or Gentle, to appeal to
their ignorance, and bulldoze them into the
belief that they can save money by ordering
away from home. Call and see our beauti-
tul stock, and see what we can do for you
!, Up Yours, II. ZIMMERMAN & Co.

Prpmonitions OF n Cold winter

The recent cold waves, if taken together
with the average pressure and temperature Of
September and October, show that the au,-
tumn now closing has been exceptionally
cold. The barometer in September was gen.
orally at its normal height, but in October a
considerable excess of pressure prevailed,
especially on the Pacific coast, while in the
present month this excess has been increased
in nearly all sections. In all districts east of
the Rocky mountains except the gulf states
the October mean temperature was from one
to five degrees below the normal, and the
deficiency for November will iu all probability
be greater. There is, therefore, some ground
for supposing that the distribution Of pressure
over the north Pacific and the outlying re-
gions, whence our cold waves come, is this
fall larger than usual, and consequently we
might expect a more severe winter than the
average. On the Oath of September the
Herald pointed out that the indications IA
vored 'an autumnal temperature rather be-
low than above the average, with general
tendency of the precipitation to fall below the
normal amount from the upper Mississippi
valley eastward to the Atlantic coast" s.t
