A Miserable Performance.


Irrcdecmably bad was the verdict Of tho
slender audience gathered at tue opera
house last evening to witness an absurd and
tircsome performance that had boon adj
vcrtiscd :.s u comedy under the title Of
Mrs. Joshua Whitcomb," with Charles
l.. Howard as the star actor. A micrOsco-
pical investigation would fail to discover
tho slightest particle Of merit in tho per-
formancc, and the only question in tho
minds of that portion Of tho audience who
had the lIardihOOd to sit and suffer through h
the four, long drawn out acts was as to
which was tho worst, tho play or the play
crs. 1t was about All even clip, for neither
could have bccn more worthless than the
other. "Mrs. Joshua WhitcOmb can
spare us tho inflictiOn of Il return visit, and
it is III imposition on old " Uncle Josh /"
to think that enough of his name has been
appropriated by the concern that exhibited
hero last night to cntrap the uuwary into
believing it WAS Of some account.

BURIED IN A TRANCE.

A New Brunswick, n. j., dispatch
says: In the latter part of March man
named James Gillila"d, residing here,
died after a brief illness. He was car
pet weaver by trade, and was well known
IN the neighborhood After his death
his house was visited by sympathizing
friends, who We're anxious to look once
more on their departed comrade. There
was q peculiar appearance about the
body, which was the subject of comment,
and many of the visitors refused to
believe that life had departed. Even
after the body had been prepared for
burial and enclosed in coffin there was
none of the ordinary appearance found in
corpse, and Gilliland's friends We're
greatly agitated over the matter, many
Of them believing that le was only in a
trance. So strong was this belief that
physicians were called in to make an ex-
animation. They found the body slight
ly warm, and having none of the chilly
feeling to the touch which is always
found in dead bodies; the face was some
what flushed, and the supposed dead man
resembled a person in a deep sleep more
than mass of lifeless clay. The doctors,
however, after critical examination,
pronounced Gilliland dead, and the
funeral took place the following day, the
interment being in the cemetry. Last
week a brother of Gilliland came to this
city to make an examination, having
heard that there were suspicious that
the man was not dead when the burial
took place. He proceeded to the ceme-
terry yesterday in company with a man
to reopen the grave. When the coffin
was reached, the lid was carefully re-
moved, and, to the great horror of the
man, he discovered that his brother had
been entombed while in a trance, and
had afterward recovered consciousness
The body was found lying on one side,
with the face terribly scratched, as
though done while in agony. 1t is
thought that the unfortunate man, on
recovering consciousness, endeavored to
free himself from his coffin, and that q
terrible struggle for life took place, the
hands being terribly lacerated, while the
face painfully showed signs of terror
The body was Immediately reburied
Last evening the family of the unfor
tunate man refused to give any informa
ton on the subject, and the cemetery
authorities were likewise reticent

The Cologne Gazette records the estab-
lishment of Jewish sect at Odessa.
This body of dissenters, which calls itself
"New Israel" owes it's origin, it is
stated, to "the conviction which is gain
ing ground in educated Jewish circles
that it is no edict of the government but
social approximation, which can improve
the condition of the jews" They begin
by throwing over the Talmud which
principally excited the hate of their
Christian neighbors, but profess their
'faith in the five books of Moses in their
literal sense" The literal interpretations
of the Pentateuch does not, however,
prevent them from rejecting circumcision,
accepting all meat consumed by Chris
tians as "kosher, transferring the Sab
bath from Saturday to Sunday, and de-
manding the legalization of mixed mar
riages. The determination of the Sec
taries to abstain from usury and dis
honorable trading, and to throw them.

HENRY CLAY's PovERTY.-Mr. CLAW
had large and expensive family, and he
keenly felt his poverty, while he lost no
opportunity of expressing his gratitude
to friends, known and unknown, for all
kinds of favors. The day upon which
Mr.. Webster made his celebrated speech,
in March 1850, he was highly eulogizing
it at dinner, when some one asked him if
he did not think Mr.. Websters influence
had been greatly impaired by his allow
ing certain wealthy men in Massachu-
sets to settle an annuity on him for
abandoning his practice in the courts so
as to devote more time to public affairs.
Mr.. Clay responded: g In view of the
manner IN which my note was paid at
the bank in Kentucky, | do not think l
ought to speak upon that subject. With
difficulty had raised the money to pay
the interest when | went to the bank to
ask renewal. The cashier told me /
had no note there. | asked him what
had become of it, and he said he was in
structed to answer no questions. And
never have | been able to find out who
paid it; but, turning to Judge Conard,
of New Orleans, he said: Judge, /
always supposed you had something to
do with that matter" 70 which he re-
sponded whether | or any one else
had anything to do with the matter, you
will never know" Mr.. Clay then said:
" In view of my many opponents, am
as thankful for the secresy as the money;
but, when ! am free from public life, l
am going to insist upon knowing who
were such benefactors." When some
one said " Mr.. Clay, your friends will
never let you be free from public life."
Sin that view, gentlemen" said he,
"bear witness to my inexpressible graft
tude to my friends, not only for their
favor, but for their manner of bestowing
it, " adding that there was but one un-
pleasant thing about it, that it was the
only present that he had ever received
that he could not divide with his friends.
Here Judge Conard observed: "That
need not trouble you, as you had liberal
ly divided the proceeds before you gave
the note" "You are right" says Clay;
" the note was given principally to take
up the paper Of friends which l had en-
dorsed. - John Wentworth's Chicago
Lecture.
