Emma Abbott has been singing in the far

enough.
Boston seems delighted with Cobianhci.
They can have our share and we will not

Mr.. and Mrs. George Henschel Miss Lii

The loss to Mr.. Mccullough on the pro-

Nine. Minnie Hauk has been greatly
praised by the Boston press during the Ma.

ovation on her appearance in Carmen"
The Cincinnati press says that the SYM
phony concerts by Theodore Thomas aud
his orchestra, so far from bringing in a
snug little sum to hand over to the Asso-
ciated Charities, will not cover the expenses
of the orchestra, to pay which a call will
have to be made upon the guarantee fund.
Mr.. Thomas aud his musicians did their
share of the work admirably and the cOu-

GRANT AND FITZ-JoHN PORTER.
The Ex.Presldent Reported to be
EspOusinG His Cause.

A New York dispatch to the Philadel-
phia Times. dated January l, says:
at is now known in the circles which
are in close intimacy with Gen. Grant that
he has recently reached the conclusion that
Gen. Fitz-John Porter is greatly injured
man, and that his conviction and dismissal
from the army was an act of hagrant in
justice. Gen. Grant has certainly expressed
these views freely to his intimate friends
lately, without any attempt at conceal
ment, and it is rumored that he either has
addressed, or soon will address, formal
and earnest appeal to President Arthur for
the prompt restoration of Gen. Porter to
his proper rank in the army. 1t is stated
that Gen. Grant has lately so far responded
to Gen. Porter's request as to make a
patient and complete examination of the
testimony and record of the late Porter
court of inquiry, and that he has
been convinced, in spite of his long
cherished adverse convictions on the
point, that Gen. Porter was entirely
guiltless and blameless as soldier
i'll POpe's campaign, and that the country
owes to Gen. Porter his prompt restora.
tion to the army. Those who speak of Gen.
Grants views and purpose on the subject
say that he will manfully confess his error
in Porter's case, and appeal to President
Arthur to correct Grants unintentional
prejudice to Porter when President. He
says that, with the imperfect sources of
information at the time and for years after
the condemnation of Porter and the high
tide of public injustice that prevailed
against all who were ever accused of per-
fidy in the army, it is not surprising that
he was long misled as to the injustice of
Porter's dismissal; but now, with the posi-
tions and strength of the armies perfectly
understood, and all the facts subject to i'm
partial scrutiny, he deems it his duty as a
soldier and patriot to ask for the prompt
restoration Of Gen. Porter to his rank as
faithful officer. 1t is believed that such
public testimonial from Gen. Grant will
settle the issue and give to Fitz-John Por-
ter the justice he has SO long vainly sought
from the Government he loved and bravely
defended

"Humpty Dumpty" made his bow to the
public Of Washington again yesterday at

with new tricks and extra attractions in
the variety line that actually makes it
two performances in one. "Humpty

Guiding matinees Wednesday and Saturday.

Denman Thompson and his splendid COM

Uncle Josh and his many remarkable expe-

Mr.. Defrees says that if he is removed
it will be because of his opposition to Grant,

to characterize the malicious and menda-
cious ISLANDERS Mr.. Defrees, in the ignoble
smalness of his mind, circulated about the
hero whose shoelatches he is unworthy to
loose. But aside from this, it has been
whispered that Mr.. Defrees will be re-

management of his office. Perhaps Mr..
Defrees will demand an investigation, and
perhaps he will not But he will go just as

Tony Pastor.
n. Y. Clipper

Tony Pastor owns and runs first class
theatre on Broadway, New York city, and
has gathered about him the best troupe of
variety artists that could be obtained any
where. The company has just completed
"a brilliant engagement at the Walnut
Street Theatre, Philadelphia, and after the
present tour they will reappear in Tony
Pastors own theatre In New York city. Mr..
Pastor is the originator of his peculiar
school of character singing, and has made
himself immensely popular, having real
lied by his talents Il large fortune.
The writer of this article met Mr. Pastor
recently at the Bingham House, in Phila.
delphia, and found him as genial in pri.
yate as he is amusing before the public.
During our conversation / inquired as to
his physical health, and he replied that,
notwithstanding the strain upon him
in the discharge OF his professional
duties, it was excellent. He had
occasionally severe pains, either the result
of rheumatic attacks or colds, but any conf
plants of that character never troubled
him long, as he had found out a remedy for
all such annoying affections. / asked him
what the remedy was and he replied, st.
jacobs Oil. | then learned from Mr..
Pastor that he considered the great Ger
man remedy an excellent preparation for
the cure or relief of rheumatism, and that
III was ABOUT the only Lning used among
professional people for that distressing
complaint. He took bottles of it with him
whenever he went travelling, and would
not be without it, and knew that it was
very popular with number of members of
his own company. A conversation held
subsequently, with various members
of the organization revealed the
fact that st. jacobs Oil had .been
performing most invaluable service
for them in the way of curing
them Of rheumatism. Nearly every artist
in the troupe used it, and was enthusiastic
in its praise, and the writer was really
forced to the conclusion that Tony Pastor
was certainly in luck in having so valuable
an article known and employed by his in
imitably good company Of performers, for it
enabled every one to be always in his place
thus insuriag comfort to the management
and genuine satisfaction TO the public. Tony
Pastor would certainly be in trouble with
out ST. Jacobs Oil. At least, other man
ayers whose artists have been temporarily
unsupplied, have noticed the difference be-
tween ST. Jacobs Oil in stock and st.
Jacobs Oil out Of stoek-among the mem-
bers of their companies.

The attractive costumes OF the ladies and

Miss Smycackle wore a pale red satin

which fitted admirably that part OF his

WRITING "oN SPAcE.r
The TrrcpressibIc Conflict Befwce
Editors and writers.

Editors and writers.
There are innumerable stories told Of the
irrepressible conflict between literateurs
and editors, particularly in France, on the
subject of measuring copy. Dumas, La
MARITIME and dozen other writers are
credited with inventing the monosyllable
paragraph, and Buloz and many another
editor with devising the plan of paying by
letter to head them off. The editor of a
New York weekly may be credited with a
not less ingenius idea when he secured the
services of female writer much in vogue
at liberal sum per column of nonpareil
type and set up her articles in long primer,
announcing that they cost him so much
column.
When Ponson du Terrail, however, was
running one of, his Resurrections of
Rocambole - through the Petit Journal,
Polydore Millaud, the editor, sent for him
one fine day and said firmly, though
kindly:
See here, my dear fellow pay you
very literally, but 1t is rather an imposi-
tion on good nature to run in such stuff as
this when you are paid by the line, and if
you keep 1t up I'll have to pay you by the
letter." and he pointed to the last issue of
the paper where the feuiliitOn began as fol-
lows
"Who?"
"Ii"
"You?"
"Aye!"
"Begone
"Never!"
He shuddered.
ooh, very WELL I'll soon remedy that"
said the author pleasantly.
He did, and when Millaud received the
next installment of the story he was stupe-
fed to find it read as follows:
"'Y-you a-ar-are acknowledgements
