Mrs. Siei'Ons T0-night.-It is scarcely ncces
sary to remind patrons OF tho drama that to-
night Mrs. Sccttsiddons, supported by Il full
dramatic cast, will appear at Fulton opera
house as Rosolind. in Shakspcaro's delightful
comedy, "As You Like It," Mrs. ScottSid-
'lons has lust completed 4 weeks engagement
in Philadelphia, and tho newspaper criticisms
there have been of slch piquantly divergent
character that thoy only serve to enhance
local curiosity as to tho lady's qualities on the
dramatic Stage. Mrs. Scott-Siddons has long
been an acknowledged queen of the rostrun,
and in her return 20 the drama she is sure of a
kindly welcome AT tho hands OF her many
friends in this city. TO-night's audience bids
fair to hc a large one.

ENGLISH ELECTION EXPENSES.

ENGLISH ELECTION EXPENSES.
 The commission appointed to inquire into elections in England has just published par iamentary paper stating the expenses of all the candidates at recent elections throughout the kingdom. These are only the s'legiti- mate" expenses which the agents choose to
 report, and do not include the money that was spent ilegitimately. The commission say that in some places named, bribery indi-
 rect and direct on the most extensive and
 systematic scale was practiced. And in some
 cases the agent returned false figures. as in
 Sandwich, where the expenses were e6, 800,
 he returned only e3, 153. In some constitu-
 encies the real cost could be arrived ct only by adding thirty or forty per cent to the figures reported.
 The expenses of the unsuccessful candidate in Durham were over ZIP, 726 or e2 los. for each vote boiled. The two successful candi- dates spent over G5, 543 each, making the cost in this compact district, where travelling is easy, over e23, ,S23. In the southern divis- ion of Durham the cost per vote was 8 little more. Mir. Herbert Gladstone's election cost him e6, BIT; his two opponents spent each nearly as much more. In the southeastern Lancashire division the two successful candi- dates spent e13, ,141, and the two defeated e12, ,640. For Mid-Surrey, the tive conserva- tives spent eS, 397 and the two liberals es,. o91. Yet these English counties are said to be cheap compared with the west counties In Montgomeryshire. MT. Wynn, the successful candidate, paid e6 lis. Tod. head, or e13,- 453 in all There is the same story all over the kingdom. The Scotch constituencies are as dear as the English
 It is declared that there is no excuse for this great expenditure. In most of the con- yertising, printing and paying for halls and speakers would be covered by few hundred pounds. But the Legitimate" expenses are evidently tainted with corruption The Lam beth election cost altogether SIS, PIP, of which nearly e6, 900 is credited to printing and advertising In many instances voters cost much more apiece than in the above figures Several cost SC and es head. The expenses of one gentleman, who boiled nine votes at Dunda1k, amount to e33 apiece for them. How cheaply an election can be con- ducted IS shown by the expenses of the mems Der from Glasgow, which were less than six pence for each vote.
 The legitimate and illegitimate expenses of elections in this country are very great, but it is not probable that it costs members of Congress such large sums to get elected as it does many members of the English Parlia- ment. In England the evil is to be vigorous ly attacked, as it ought to be in this country before it gets worse.

MT. Edison has permission to lay the wires for his electric light in the streets of New York city; but, it is stated there will be a
 delay until works can be erected for making cables. The agent says that time will be re- quired for putting up machinery and perfect ing il, and that the company cannot guarantee any considerable quantity of cable before the end of July but that after that time they
 can produce about forty miles of cable ev- cry week, so that if the cable can be laid as fast as they can supply it, wires can be car ried into the warehouses in the business para of the city six months hence, and all Man haitian Island can be supplied within 8 year.

l The main cables, about half an inch in diam. eter, are to be laid under the sidewalks. In Paris they are laid in the sewers, and in Switzerland in common earth, about foot under the surface. The main or street cable is tube of lead, with one large insulated wire. This will be under the sidewalk. From 1t is to be carried into whatever house is to be lighted cable three-eighths of an inch in diameter, containing seven small wires, all insulated, and these can be distrib- uted throughout the house to the gas fixtures. The wires once in place, and one of Edison's lamps attached, the householder can turn the electric light on or of at pleasure. There is to be metre in the cellar, and the consumer will pay for whatever electricity he uses and no more.
 The editor of the New York C7t'1stian Ad- 1 0OcGte has been asked by some of his sub-
 scribers: Is the use of tobacco consistent
 with true Christianity? Can tobacco user
 be sanctifed? Is tobacco user fit person to be appointed presiding elder? Can a
 Christian man who believes the use of tobac-
 co to be sinful conscientiously work in gro
 eery store where it is sold2 The editor re-
 pliesthat the use of tobacco is not inconsist-
 ent with true Christianity. Many excellent
 Christians have smoked or chewed all-thelr lives, and nevertheless have furnished the
 best evidence of piety, and died in holy
 triumph But at this late day. with all the light now thrown on the effects of tobace o. the editor thinks it improbable, Eff not inn possible, that any man persisting in its use can attain to the grace of entire sanctifca- tion in this life Yet to say that no tobacco
 user should be suffered to occupy the higher offices of the Methodist Episcopal church
 would be, the editor says, ito rule out three
 fourths of all the presiding elders the Church has ever had, and several of it's most efficient
 bishops" Indeed, he thinks it rather ab
 surd inconsistency that the Church should exact from candidates for the ministry pledge to abstain from tobacco, while leaving the bishops, presiding elders, ministers, stewards, trustees, class leaders, and private members at liberty to smoke, chew, or snuff at their own discretion To the inquiring grocer's clerk the editor replies that, the use of tobacco not being essentially sinful, he can safely continue to sell tobacco to his en- ployer's customers, unless his conscience con demns him for SO doing.

The Funny Little K1wi-Kivi.

In 8 little compartment of the ostrich house resided the principal object of our
 visit, that quaintest and most uncanny of
 birds, the apteryx or Ewi-kiwi which was long thought by naturalists to be mythical creature. It never comes out at all but at night, and even then, on this occasion, he had perceived our approach and taken up
 his usual place of concealment among the
 straw. It is round little nondescript
 with long curved beak, no tail, the
 merest rudiments of wings, which are not visible, through the plumage, and large, powerful feet, with which it kicks in & very formidable manner, while it can, by striking them on the ground make tremendous
 noise quite disproportionate to it's size. It lives chiefly on worms, and having it's
 nostrils set at the very tip of the beak, cain pry them out in it's nocturnal ram
 bles without the aid of eyes. Having
 discovered the whereabouts of 8 worm, it
 is said to entice them to the surface by
 standing on the ground; we cannot vouch | for this as a fact, and must confess that if we were worm we should be anything but allured by such a burglarious chatter over l head.
 The most curious circumstance, perhaps, | about the apteryx is it's egg, which is nearly l as large as the parent bird, and is one-fourth l its weight. Several have been laid in the | gardens of the society by the present speci-
 men, thus setting at rest all doubts upon the subject It is a native of New Zealand, where it Is now becoming very rare.
