GRAY, in his capacity OF editor, was guilty
OF libel; II it were true, on the other
hand, he was in his capacity Of Sheriff,
guilty OF glaring neglect Of duty. But this
specious dilemma will not bear close exami-
nation. Tho relation Of the Dublin High
Sheriff to the ordinary functions associated
with the Office in this country, such, for In
stance, as the impanellng and custody OF
jurors, is purely nominal. These duties Ore
invariably performed by subordinatcs, and,
although their chief can Individually punish
them for negligence, yet such would not be
the prompt and proper way to redress the
grievous wrong which, it was said, had been
perpetratcd in the HYNEs case Mr.. GRAYs
first duty was not to discipline deputy
sherifr-that was matter which no doubt he
would have looked to In good time-but to
save q man from death, or at least to call
upon those who alone were competent to
grant now trial or n remission OF SEN
tcncc to inquire whether the prisoner
HYNEs had been properly convicted
This was plainly matter for the Court, or
for the Castle authorities, acting as the Of
fetal trustees OF the public welfare, and 1t
would have been absurd for the editor OF the
Ecemans journal to defer laying informa-
ton of urgent import before the community
until in his capacity of Sheriff he had in
vcstigated the conduct Of his own subordl-
mates.
We are by no means surprised to hear from
our correspondent that Justice LAWSON had
yesterday some difficulty in explaining the
reasons which had impelled him to imprison
Mr. GRAY. 1t would seem to have been still
harder to furnish plausible explanation
OF his victims release, when the term
for which ho had been sentenced had
but half expired. The pretcncc that
judicial persecution had brought about
q change for the better in the tone OF the
Freemans Journal is altogether prcposter-
GUS The Freemdn's Journal, though its 10y
atty to the Catholic Church and the cause OF
Ireland has never been disputed, has been at
all times relatively temperate and guarded in
| its utterances, and there has been no change
whatever in this respect since its editors
incarceration. The truth is that the action
of the Court in imprisoning Mr.. GRAY for
| contempt has aroused a storm to which the
British Ministry has yielded not only be-
cause the freedom Of the press had been fla.
GRAVITY cncroachcd upon, but because Judge
LAWSON is believed to have been actuated

Thaekeray,s stage Fright.

That the inexperienced actor should
tremble nightly and exhibit all the
symptoms of nervous terror before going
onto the stage, is regarded by those
versed in histrioniC matters as PROM
ising token of a coming triumph; but
that the same rule holds good of public
readers and reeiters might perhaps have
been doubted were it not that Miss
Kemble vOuches for the fact that Will
liam Makepeace Thackeray himself, on
the occasion of his first delivery of lee
lures on 'the Four Georges" was, de-
spite his good reputation and undOubted
genius, absolutely unnamed by fear OF
his audience. This accomplished lady
happened to look in ut Wills rooms
Just before the hour fixed for Thacker-
ay's reading, and to her surprise she
found the eminent Satirist standing,
like n forlOrn, diScOnsOlate giant" in
the middle of the room, staring about
him. He held my hand, like
scared child" writes Miss
Fanny KembIe, crying, 'Oh don't
leave me? Pm sick at my stomach
with fright But said |, 'rhackeray,
you mustn't stand here. Your audi
ence are beginning to Gomez and so
saying Miss Kemble kindly led him
out into the retiring room adjoining the
lecture hall. The novelist had left the
manuscript of his lecture on the read
ing desk, and MISS Kemble volunteered
to recover it for him, and in so doing
scattered the leaves all about the hoor.
In the greatest confusion and distress
she took the wreck of his manuscript
back to Thackeray, thinking she had
done some irreparable injury. The
real kindness of heart of Mr.. Tit
marshn showed itself at once. MY
dear soul,n he said, You couldn't have
done better for me. Ihave Just quar-
ter of an hour to wait here, and 1t will

A Man Of Many Names.


1t was, perhaps, exeusable in the lib
eral registration agent before the revis-
ing barrister In the city that he found
some difficulty in identifying Mr.. Bur-
dett-COutts with Mr.. Ashmead-Barlett,
whose name was on the list of voters as
q liveTyman of the Turner'S company.
This gentleman has undergone as many
changes of nomenclature as certain
rare plants which are named by every
botanist who comes across them. He
was known to his High-rate school
fellows as Bartlett, and to his contem-
pOraries at Keole as Ashmead- Bartlett,
then Bartlett Coutts, and now into the
full-blown Burdett- Coutts. He really
ought to go down to posterity in the
new Plutarch as a parallel with that
hero of "Rejected Addresses" who has
realized in fame the poets wish, "Long
may Long. Tillesley- Wellesle- Long. Pole
live" The modern chameleon, howev-
er, as is natural with the progress Of
civilization has outstripped his rival.
His proper name, if everyone had his
rights, would run, we believe, William
Lehman-Ashmead- Bartlett Coutts- Bart
lett Bartlett Coutts- Burdett-C Outts.

Habits of the Goldfish.

A correspondent of the New York
Post says that the Goldfish frequents
"the table lands of the sea-" The cod
fish, no doubt, does this to secure, as
nearly as possible, dry, bracing atmos-
phere. This pure air of the submarine
table lands gives to the Goldfish that
breadth of chest and depth of lungs
which we have always noticed.
The glad, free smile of the Goldfish is
largely attributed to the exhilaration
in this oceanic altitoOdleum.
The correspondent further says that
''the cod subsists largely on the sea
cherry.n Those who have not had the
pleasure of seeing the Goldfish climb the
sea cherry tree in search of food, or
clubbing the fruit from the heavily
laden branches with chunks of coral,
have missed fine sight.
The Goldfish, when at home rambling
through the submarine forests, does not
wear his vest unbuttOned, as he does
while loafing around the grocery stores
of the United States.

and he had two or three seats to him
