Why She Left ChicagO-A Circus Destroys
an Opera COmPany.

Mile. Ambre has, since her arrival in
Paris, been interviewed. She says that in Chicago
the company failed because Forepaugh'S circus
was greater attraction In New York I" it was
the whale" Relative to her leaving the shores OF
freedom so precipitstely she says" De Beauplan
decided to remain, but was thought best should
return to France with Monsieur and Madame
Tournie 1t was arranged that should leave the
next day in the Amerique, but to avoid gossipers
no one should be told of the plan, not even Mad
anne Tournie, who was to be notified only at the
last moment. Tournie took charge of my trunks.
When he was experimenting the removal an ac-
quaintance saw him and notifeds his wife, who,
in a rage went for detective to arrest her hus-
band. And UoiLa Tournie was arrested! And yet,
the next day everybody said that we ran off
together. What then? Disguised, heartbroken,
frightened, there was nothing left to
me but to run away like a fugi-
tive (u0leuse}. 1 did So left NJ. de Beauplan to
arrange things in America, and l sailed for Eng
land in a British steamer, while Tournie and his
wife went to Canada. But at the hour of parting
had q moment of triumph. The impressario Maple
son came to see me to engage me formally for the
next season, claiming that all this excitement
would only enhance my value in the eyes of
Americans Comment trouyezvous ce puffsme
Americaine?" Madame Ambre further declared
that she was offered an engagement at Marseilles,
but would not got the provinces" She preferred
to try Spain or Russia but would go first to Italy
and vagabonder de vile en- vile. Then she would
go to Lake Como and Milan, but would not visit
Paris for two years. And what will become of
De Beauplan ?" asked the pertinacious interviewer.
NJ. de Beauplan? Alas he will settle his affairs
Then he will take boat and sail to Colorado, and
win work in the mines"

MORE CLEARLY DEFINED.
The AntaEonisni Between slle ReasiJusters
and Esourbons Of Virginia.

The antagoniSm between the Readiust-
ers and BourbonS is more clearly defined than
ever before, and rests mainly grounds that have
not been heretofore so clearly recognized. The
debt question has receded to the background,
and questions affecting the rights of citizens
the purity of elections and q generally pro-
gressiye policy have come 20 the front. The
ReadjusterS while they refuse TO acknowledge
allegiance to Republicanism," as the committees
address expresses it, have substantially adopted
the principles of the party, and promise to secure
some oft most important purposes in the State of
Virginia. There is no chance whatever thatthe Re-
publicans can carry the election next November,
Either the Readusters or the BOuTbons must win
and have the control of the legislation and ad
ministration thereafter In the former case there
is promise of policy which shall secure the bal
lot-boX and the jury box from unjust discrimina-
tions, promote popular education, and advance
the objects which Republicans profess to have at
heart. If the BOurbons triumph there will be no
advance in this direction. The Republicans have
to choose between helping and hindering the
cause of progress in the Old Dominion. So long as
General Malone and his followers will not fully
and unreservedly accept their principles, so long
even as they reject the name and national afiia-
tionS of the party, the Republicans will DO JUST
fed in keeping up their organization.
They certainly should not disband or
abandon the standard of the national organizations
but it is not easy to what substantial object is
to be gained by nominating State ticket thisyear
appealing to voters for its support a matter of
party fidelity, and thereby aiding to defeat the
liberal movement and perpetuate the power of the
Bourbons The miserable question of Federal
patronage seems as likely to sway the so-called
leaders as any consideration of the good of the
people of the State, but if the sympathies of the
President are represented they not likely to
gain much by endeavoring to divide the opposition
to Bourbonism York Times

How Two Young Ladies' on Capitol Hill
Took n Ride.

Two young ladies from Capitol Hill had
a novel experience the other evening. A young
gentleman living the other side of Georgetown
Heights often finds it necessary to drive into the
city, and, on such occasions, being particularly at
tracted by one of the aforesaid young ladies' makes
it convenient to stop his span of handsome bays
at her fathers gate else to take her by his slde
and bowl along the pavements or out on the shady
country roads On this particular evening the
bays were not at his command. He felt the pangs
of separation could not be endured and SO, while
arraying himself in broadcloth and fine linen,
ordered an old family horse faithful gentle crea-
| ture to be brought around. Kate and her friend
Sue, who had arrived that morning from Balu-
more had donned fresh muslins and were await
ing the arrival of whomsoever might come. The
family horse" ambled up
"Who is that, Kate?' said Sue.
"Oh, indeed" said Kate, ats no one that 1
know. 1t must be some one to see papa" And
then, with change of tone and manner: "Why its

After greetings and introductions the change OF
steeds was explained and the virtues of the fam
lily horse" descanted upon. An errand took the
gentleman away for half hour, but the ladies had
an idea. They never had driven alone and now
was their chance. Couldn't they take the horse and
drive little way all by themselves while he was
gone? The arrangement was agreed to, the horse
Conversation was in this wise:

"Oh! there's fly biting himF'
Let me brush it off with the whipp
Don't scare him. Whoa! whoa"
"What makes him stick his ears up so?
81 wonder if he ever ran away?'
When they came in sight of the Spa Spring above
Mount Pleasant, on the Fourteenth street road,
they began to wonder if he were not thirsty, and
agreed TO allow loose rein and let the horse de-
eide the matter for himself As a result he walked
up in front of the trough and halted, making one
or two Intellectual attempts to get his nose to the
water.
Something pulls on his head SO he can't get it
down. 1t is too bad"
81 wonder what it is? Poor horsey how thirsty

"What shall we do?'
After looking at the thills and wheels and the
springs they finally came to the conclusion that
there must be some sort Of doubled back action
that could only be overcome by lifting up the rear
of the carriage. So they pinned up their muslins
washerwoman fashion and bravely endeavored
to relieve their distressed steed 1t is needless to
say they failed. They went home indignant.
Strangely enough though they told their adven-
ture on their return, they have never been known
to alude TO it since. They agreed that night after
they went to their room, that it was awful mean
in Fred to laugh at them so.

Enter Davenport,

Now we have x John I. Davenport
has had his swear and told his story
ike little man to the bribery committee
at Albany. He and Postmaster-G General
James went to the White House and had
long talk with the President about that
marshalship which he the next day
offered to Strahan. "The President
asked me" says John, who would be a
good man for the Office of marshal in
New York" Now, if there is any
man whose opinion the President
would rather have than another on
the Federal patronage in New York
thaS man is Davenport. So the senatorial
election may have had nothing to do
with it. But John modestly responded
that he could not say" Then the
President got him to try and give the
marshalship to Mr.. Knox, but Johns
powers of persuasion were unequal to the
task. With heavy heart he returned to
the President, and, having informed him
that Knox would not have the place, deli
cately broached the name of Mr.. Strahan
ILG CGctlMdIJ oIGlC SSIldlOI MHOSS hOlC
would be so desirable to the Administra-
ton. Says Mr.. Davenport:
went back to the White House, and found the
President busly engaged, but he came out in the
library and after telling him about the refusal Of
Mr.. Knox, / mentioned Mr.. Strahan's name,
but the President did not know him. I went
back to Mr.. Knox and after talking q
while I sent that telegram TO Senator Strahan,
and came on to New York ] met Mr.
Strahan at the Union League Club that night, and
asked him if I could use his name for the Office of
Che marshalship. He asked if this offer
could be held over till after the settlement Of the
United States Senatorship. l replied: No; must
have an answer Immediately" told him that of
course he would be expected to vote against Conk
ling and Platt.
"Ofcourse he would be expected to
vote against Conkling and Platt," and of
course Davenport felt pretty sure that he
could deliver the goods, or he would not
have brought Strahan from Albany to
New York on a telegram written in
Washington. But Strahan wouldn't trade

SESSIONS AND WooDIN.
What the Tribune Once Said of These
Two Worthless.

The progress of the campaign in this
State New York; has been so auspicious for the
Republican party that it is painful task to call
attention to the msSteps, few they are. But the
very fact that blunders are not many makes the
few more glaring, and seems to increase the
necessity for some plain 1Uords Of 10dTRig. 1t is q
misfortune and not slight one, to see the Repub-
lican rule of pure nominations broken by the re-
nomination of Senator Sessions and the nomina-
ton of William B. Woodin. Readers of the TTi-
bune have already learned agbdt manner Of men
these are, though we must do Mr.. Woodin the JUS
tice to say that we consider him the maner of the
two. The Legislative record and political method of
Mr.. Sessions are so well known that the very ease
with which his denomination was obtained is a
reproach to him and not a credit. After all that
has been known of him, and all that he has dd-
mitted concerning his past life, 1t could not hare
been properly obtained. Mr.. Woodin's tri-
umph more difficult. With a
new district, and at time when an unex-
ceptional candidate was needed, he seems to have
selfshly insisted that party must vindeate" him.
Nearly one hundred ballots were taken before the
opposition gave way. What took place in the Au-
burn district, as it was constituted when Mr..
Woodin represented it in the senate, we all know.
large Republican majority dwindled down to
narrow margin of few hundred votes, and finally,
in 1877 he did not even live as candidate through
the campaign. Tweeds testimony, confirming the
strong, popular eopuictioR that he had been HoeeFs
senator and had taken TVeeT sDoney drove him from
the field, and the district was only saved by the
choice of another name. The subject is not
pleasant one Let US dismiss it with an expression
OF the hope that there will be no more such oenses
against the good name of Republicanism. The Re-
publican party is not made up ofmen like Mr.. Ses.
sions and Mr.. Woodin, and does not deserve the
reproach of being represented by them. When
such attempt TO the party for their 0eCn selfish
purposes their efforts should be resisted By all hon.

The Stalwarts at Albany have got possession Of s
private telegram which they imagined related tC
some great scheme of the Half Breeds. The dis
patch was as follows:

fail. ALBERT DAGGETT.
The sender of the dispatch was ex-Sheriff Dag
gett of Brooklyn, prominent anti Stalwart leader
and the Conklingites jumped at the conclusion
that he was, in some sort of inexplicable manner
using the Brooklyn navy-yard TO beat Conkling

dispatch related only to the transfer Of some men
from the Brooklyn to the Norfolk navy yard. II
