George William Curtis on Lord
Dundreary.
[Harper's Magazine.l

Lord Dundreary is gone. There will be ac-
tors who will represent him and initiate his
tones, and his looks and his movements, there
will be laughter and applause, but Lord Dun
dreary is gone. How many thousands of
friends he had who cannot now recall him
without smile, who remember the evenings
that he cheered the vapors that he conjured
away, the irresistible drollery of his aspect, the
subtle satire of his whole impression! 1t was
the same everywhere. We have seen him in
wretched play house in small city, crowded
and overfowing, and we laughed all the even
ing long. There was no respite. 1t was
continuous hysteric. The stage was small, the
scenery ludicrous, everything at skies and sew
ems, and his lordship took it all in and used it.
1t was only fuel to his fire. We all agreed, in
the faintness of universal and prolonged laugh
ter, that there was never anything so laugh
able. The roaring old farces "Rasing the
Wind" and others, good as they are and were
(does Mr. Congdon remember Browne as Jere-
my Didler at the old Nationally seemed in the
comparison of the moment little inadequate.

What Happened to
Mr.. JOSEPH BEACH
Stone in the Kidney expelled after using
DR.. David Kennedy's ssFavorite
semedy" about tive weeks.

One OF the most remarkable cases that has ever
been brought to the notice of the public is that of
Mr.. j. S. Beach, of Stone Ridge, Ulster Co., N Y.
Mr.. Beach had suffered since October 18th, 1874,
from the presence of Calculus or Stone in the right
Kidney No less than seven physicians were en-
ployed at different times. to whom Mr.. Beach paid
hundreds of dollars for medical treatment, with
only temporary relief from his agony.
By the urgent solicitations of his friends he
was induced to try DR.. David Kennedy's "Fav-
orite Remedy"-experienced marked improve
ment from the first day he began to use the
medicine: on the 18th of September he voided a
stone as large could be passed through the natur-
al channel.
Mr.. Beach concludes a long letter to DIR. Kenne-
dy by saying: SIT will always afford me pleasure
to recommend the ':Favorite Remedy to those who
may be suffering from difficulties of the Kidneys and
Blade I, or any disorders arising from an impure
stateo the blood. The ''Favorite Remedy sold by
all pgists. The Doctors only address, is Rond-
out, New York. mhSTuTh&S&w1m

For how could a cup be fuller than full? How
could we possibly do more than laugh every
moment?
Subsequently it appeared that none of us re-
called any play, we only remembered Lord
Dundreary. He filed the scene. II he had
said nothing, if he had done nothing, it would
have been the same. We should have sat
shaking and aching, and while we giggled and
snickered we should have wondered how any,
body could possibly be so foolish The Jokes
seem little flat as they are recalled. Man
made to walk upright and to strike his head
against the stars may be little ashamed to
have found an extravaganza so irresistibly
comic, but could Lord Dundreary come again,
the fiatness of the jokes would vanish, and the
star-striking head would quiver with glee as
the heart now beats " ith grateful pleasure and
with sorrowful regret.
Lord Dundreary was fun incarnate, like
Pickwick. Every attempt of a spectator 10
deal with him, to classify him, to interpret
him, made the enjoyment only more over
whelming. We once heard critic attempt TO
explain him, to reduce his lordship to consis-
tent theory, to expound "the law of his being"
Such proposition made gravely was worthy
OF his lordship himself. 1t was gliding the
gold and painting the lily of sheer fun. There
was only one thing to do with such man, had
hysterical prostration permitted, and that was
to light candle and ask to see his bumps, as
Charles Lamb asked to see those of the other
man who said that he thought Milton was a
good poet. OF course his lordship had a con-
sistency and a rule Of his own, and had he vio-
lated it, we should probably have felt it. But
it was instructive, and as elusive to himself as
to the rest of us. That complacent vacuity,
that halting and imperfect ratiocination, like
George the Thirds over getting the apple into
the dumping, we could all observe it; but to
attempt its analysis, to deduce the fun of it
it was striking soap-bubble with baseball
bat.
Lord Dundreary was the acquaintance of
night. but he will be always gratefully remem-
bered by those who saw him. His departure
has not, indeed, eclipsed the gayety of nations,
but one OF the springs Of laughter is dried up,
and those who did not see him, although they
may see him represented, will never quite un-
derstand how much is said in saying Lord
Dundreary is gone.

The peculiar kind of fiscal corporations
known in London as financial co ompanies
appear to have been successfully organi zed
in New York under the name of investment
companies. Their business is of banking
nature, and consists in the transaction of
brokerage between the general public in
search of investments of capital, and rail-
ways and other fiscal corporations requiring
large loans of money.

Col. r. G. INGERsoLL, in his speech of
congratulation to Robert T. Lincoln, when
the latter was visited by delegation of Illi-
nois citizens in Washington, said that
abraham Lincoln was in all essentials the
greatest man America had ever produced,
and the greatest man of the age. He had
held more hearts in the hollow of his hand
than any other of the worlds great philan-
thropists and deliverers, and his son was
canopied by the most sacred recollections.
He could not fail to be otherwise than wor-
thy of his lineage"

The Argus thinks that the word opinion
in legal sense does not mean decis ion, and
that no authorities can be found sustaining
the position of the majority report of the
Committee on the State of the Common
wealth on that point. The word opinion in
legal sense has always been understood by
well informed lawyers to be equivalent to
the word decision or judgment. Bouvier
defines opinion as follows: ga collection of
reasons delivered by judge for giving the
judgment he is about to pronounce. A
judicial opinion is one which is given on a
matter which is legally brought before the
judge for his decision" What better author
ity than that does the Argus want?

BOSTON Advertiser: it is proper sto COM
mend the action of the Republican Senators
in what they have done thus far. 1t is a
matter of importance that the legislature
shall be in accord with the executive depart
ment as far as possible. Anything that
tends in that direction is welcome; and Mr..
Mahone's assistance, so far as he gives it, is
most timely. But the Republicans of the
Senate in accepting his cooperation no
more signify their approval of his opinions
as to the State debt of Virginia than they
did those of Senator Window regarding the
debtof Minnesota, nor those of Senator Conk-
ling on Civil Service, nor those of Mr.. Blair
on the question of national prohibitory

AN electric light of 100000 candle illum-
mating power has just been successfully
tested at the Brush Works in Cleveland.
The light is fifty times the magnitude of the
ordinary electric lamp, such as is used for
street-lighting purposes. 1t is the largest
light ever produced by human hands. The
light was built to order for use in the Brit
ish Navy. 1t is intended to be used in
night attacks and to scan the sea for the ap-
proach of torpedoes. With the aid of an Or
dinary reflector it is estimated that beam
of light so powerful will be produced that a
person fifteen miles distant could see to
read by it.

SPRINGFIELD Union: With some impor-
tant variations Senator HIPS attack on Sem
ator Malone, Monday, was like that of
Cicero upon Catiline, when the conspirator
was driven out of the Roman Senate. One
point of difference was that Malone was
not driven out, and Mr. Cicero Hill was the
man to take to his heels. All the inyective
of which Mr.. Hill is master was let loose
uporE Ethe wiry Virginian, but somehow it
flew back with accelerated force into the
face of the orator and his Democratic COM
peers. They stood like soldiers wounded by
the blundering use of their own weapons,
knowing that their scars will never be any
credit to them. The salve which Senator
Hoar applied to their gaping wounds was
like blister, which will serve to remind
them for while. that the airing of planta-
ton manners in the South is no longer
tolerable.

The Fight IN the Senate.

The foolish attempt of the Democrats to
secure the control of the Senate committees
has been abandoned. The committees will
be organized so as to give the greatest aid
and comfort to the admins tration, not to
embarrass it as its opponents wished. This
does away with the evils of divided respon-
sibility and places the burden of the con-
duct OF affairs upon the shou lders of the
Republican party, where it belongs.
Democrats ought to be satisfied and pro-
badly are, though they pretend dissatisfac-
ton. They would have come out of the
affair better however had they postponed
the fight until the vacant seats in the Senate
were filled. Had they won under those cir
cumstances the victory would have been
fair one. As it is they have subjected
themselves to the imputation of unfair prac-
tices, and have gained no profit. Their real
grievance is that Malone of Virginia has
played them false. But he was under no
more obligations to vote with them than
Davis of Illinois was to vote with the Re-
publicans. Perhaps he would have sup
ported them had they not attempted to bully
him. They will know better next time.

PHILADELPHIA North American 1t is a
source of regret that the supply of skilled
workmen in many branches of trade in this
country is not equal to the demand, and it
is matter which should be looked into by
employees. The increase in every branch of
business makes corresponding increase in
the demand for men capable of filling the
higher positions in the workshops and man
ufactolies, and the ranks of the old hands
are being gradually thinned out by death. A
prominent manufacturer of one of the west
ern cities has been compelled to send to
Switzerland for the third time for men
skilled in his particular branch of business,
and this means was only resorted to after
having used every effort in his power to OBJ
tain hands in this country. 1t is not prob
lem OF difficult solution by any means, for if
any reasonable inducements should be held
out to the bows and young men of the day
by the proprietors of our workshops and fac
tories, large number, and that, too, of the
best and most energetic kind, would gladly
embrace the opportunity of placing them
selves in a position which in few years at
most would render them independent
