CLAUDE.-Mr. j. n. Rentfrow, the
gentleman who does the ebony BUSH
ness in F" Scraps" at the Opera House,
is quite remarkable man. Off the
stage he is modest and unassuming,
and would readily be taken for any
thing else than what he is. On the
stage he is perfectly at home, and is a
whole team, with several extra wheels
and off horses thrown in. The part
he assumes, Claude, servant to the
Pathfinders, is minor and unimpor-
tant, but as interpreted and presented
by Mr.. Rentfrow is certainly one of
the most attractive features in
" Scraps" His bright and sparkling
wit, with his inimitable negro inper-
sonations, stamps him colored friend
and brother of the first water. He is
probably the first negro imitator who
does not overdo his part. Being a
professional acrobat, a trained vocalist
and a graceful dancer, his part is great
~ enhanced. His plantation dance,
"The Essence of Ole Virginny,n is
really artistic, and never fails to bring
down the house. He is business man
ager of the organization, and OCCASION
ally turns his hand to sssuping,u roll
ing up carpets and placing the effects
on and off the stage. All, in all, Mr..
Rentfrow is an artist and gentleman.

The Princess AlathildS.


 Princess Mathilds was born in 1920 at Trieste; but she is so intelligent and her faculties are so fresh that the date of her birth is not stamped upon her. Her Imperl al Highness is too German not to have a spice of romance in her disposition. Her first love WAS Louis Napoleon, who was rath- CT down in the world, in debt, disowned by his father, and regarded by most of those who knew him an impractical dreamer, when he first saw Mathilde in the bloom of radiant girlhood. They were, as young rela- tives, allowed free intercourse; but when 1t was found that cousinly affection was assunl- ing romantic color tho Prince was rudely sent away by the ex-King of Westphalia. Jerome the elder, was then also trying to curry favor with Louis Philippe, with the view of obtaining leave to return to France, and he suspected that his nephew was en- gagged in a political conspiracy. The leave- taking between the cousins was sad and sl- lent. It took place In an orchard and at day break The Emperor that was to be had a presentiment of brilliant though stormy future, He longing to say, Don't marry until I can make you an Empress. " But he had not the courage to speak, and so they parted without mutual explanation. He soon after was engaged Hi the a6ortlve Strasburg enterprise, and she married Prince Anatole Demidoff. The match was suggested by M Thiers on the occasion of @ visit to Florence, during which he called on the OK King of Westphalia to obtain information he wanted for the history of the Emp pire. Prince Anatols was as rich Crossus; but he was the vainest of the vain, and an utter barbarian. His sleep was noisy. As he was & heavy eater and drank too much, he often slept When he accompanied his wife to the opera, and dropped there into state of som- nolence, the occupants of neighboring boxes murmured against him. and cried hush " AnatoIs Demldoff was Count in Germany, Prince in Tuscany, and nothing (but a mll- body in Russia he bi at the suggestion of M. Thisrs As soA in law of the ex Queen of Westphalia he would be a cousin of the Queen of the Netherlands, (who was niece of the Czar, and nephew of the King of Wur- temburg.
 The Princess was twenty-one at the date of her marriage Her debut in Parisian society took place when she was 8 bride. It was quite an event. The remains of Napoleon had just been transported from St. Helena Her NapoIeonic though somewhat German head, girt with diamond coronet, produced 0 stir at the Italian Opera House. NJ. Thiers and his ladies ranged themselves on her side The former advised her to pay her respects to the consort of the Citizen King. An ode hitch stood in the way of presentation a court. Prince Anatole was nobody, as WI have seen, in Russia, and the Russian statu
 only counted. On the principle of once King always King, Jerome Bonaparte wa entitled to royal precedence. But as hi children were born after his monarchy ant the empire had broken down, he did no | transmit, it was contended, any part of hi royal or imperial rank to them.

CONGRESS AND THE TARIFF.


 The voting for Congressman last Tuesday made pretty complete change. Of the three hundred and twenty five members of the next House only one hundred and ferty- nine belong to the present House. Some of the important committees will be badly broken into. That on Banking and Currency will have but four of it's eleven members re- turned. Of the Commerce committee nine of fifteen are re elected. The Naval commit tee will lose six of eleven, half the Indian Af- fairs committee will be missing, ten of the twelve members of the Committee on Terri ritories are not reelected, and the same may lures, eight of the thirteen on Pacific rail roads, nine of the eleven on the District of Columbia, nine of the thirteen on Mississippi River Improvements, six of the thirteen on Education and Labor. Other committees will be almost as badly handicapped by the re- tirement of old members, loss which can- not fail to delay seriously the work of the Forty eighth Congress, regardless of any political considerations.
 It is believed in Washington that the Re- publicans will let the new Congress, with it's large number of inexperienced members, deal with the tariff question. The Washington correspondent of the Boston Aduertiser says: ''They (the Republicans) had in tended to begin this year, until the result of the election showed that their responsibility would cease on the 4th of March Now they say that it will be impossible to carry out their plans this win ter without factious delays by the Democrats The session will be too short to accomplish anything in face of this opposition, and it will be hardly worth while to begin when the next Congress will be so likely to undo their work. It will be safe then to expect an ex ceedingly gingerly handling of the subject this winter. In this way the whole question will practically go over to Democratic House, full of varying views, but strongly committed to most radical changes. In this rash treatment of the subject the Republi- cans expect to find their salvation, and this is the reason why they so complacently pro- pose to let the tariff wait Why said a Democratic Senator to-day, sour great ma- jority will be curse. We will have to do something to the revenue laws, and what ever we do I am afraid we shall make a mis- teke'"
 The plan to let the Democrats deal with the tariff is @ shrewd one. If they do not make serious mistakes it will be wonder. They have had few opportunities during the last twenty years that they did net throw

 During the past summer @ number of Bap lists in a certain village in this State ertered upon the work of erecting church edifice One day when old farmer Gilby was in town he was informed of the project and asked to come down with a handsome subscription.

The old man wiped off his hands, put on his spectacles, and having borrowed pencil, put his name down for fifty cents. Fifty cents, eh ?" observed the man who had presented the paper. Well.

seeking power, it is vagabond, and when in power usurper and a tyrant. The system of rewards and punishm ents in party poli- ties, as instituted by Andrew Jackson, and perpetuated by succeeding national adminis- trations, he reprobated. A government, he thought, should be as prudent and discreet in it's methods of business as a well-managed private manufacturing establishment, or mercantile house, the managing heads of which seek trusty and efficient superintend- ents, agents and clerks, and, having been for tunate enough to secure such, do not dismiss them without good cause; and when, by death or sale, great business house changes proprietors and managers, the new admins tration is generally glad to retain, and deems it necessary to retain, al! the ex- perisnced and faithful employ es of the concern as long they continue to fulfil their respective trusts. In pri- vate business, employers do not ask appll- oants for employment what their religion IS, to which political party they belong, whom they voted for at the last election, or whom they are in favor of for the next President, governor or sheriff; but seek to know wheth

 The geological Investigations made by Baron Von Richthofen in China show the ex- istence of vast coal districts in the west and northwest. The whole surface of northern China is covered by rich yellow earth to depth of 1000 and ,, ,OoO feet, which overlies all the coal fields; and the great plain Of China IS bordered on the west by a vast lime stone wall, 2,OoO to 5000 feet high, on the top of which extends plateau of coal in superior state of preservation, owing to it's capping of hard limestone, which has resist ed denudation. There are here 30,OOO square miles of coal-bearing ground of the best quail ity, in which the coal beds lie perfectly hori- zontal thirty feet thick, for length of 200 miles. According to this authority, these coal beds were deposited primarily around mountains Of metamorphic and primary rocks, which then constituted the land, and have laid horizontally and undisturbcd ever since.
