Philadelphia Rccord say
Since the days Of George l.. Fox, no
more accomplished and altogether salts,
factory "Humpty Dumpty' than Alfred
Frsbie Miaco has been seen on the Amerl-
can Stage. A parti colored suit and a Tree
use of bismuth are not all that are needed TO
transform Il man into an artistic clown.
Many who posture before the world as pam
tomimis.s have little else 10 recommend
them, it is true, but Miaco is not of this
class; without descending to vnIgarlty or
coarseness he employs almost every con-
ceivabe trick of facial or bodily contortion
that tends to excite laughter, and his body
evolves such wealth of whimsical conceits
as to eutitle him to rank as Master of the
High Art of Foolcry. He is surely the
funniest scamp that ever whitened face.
He made the pantomime wonderful crea-
ton

Tho Rand Divorce cnsc.

Speaking of Lieut.. George B. Reads denial
of the charges brought against in thesuit for
divorce, Hon. J. Amber Smith, counsel for
Mrs. Alice Read yesterday showed q reporter
use in the case to show the falsity of the hur-
bands denial. One Of the papers is copy Of
Lieut.. Reads resignation, in which he pledges
himself not to attempt to withdraw 1t while
il was being considered. The second paper is
letter from Capt. Charles t. Witherell,
of the 10th United States infantry, dated
Fort Brown, Brownsville, Texas, June 8, 1882,
the charges preferred against him by Col. G.
II. Smith for unbecoming conduct, especially
for alleged brutal treatment Of Mrs. Read
which is therein stated to have been SO dis
graceful that a sergeant was stationed in his
quarters, with orders to put him in the guard
house if he abused his family.

THE VIRGINIA STATE DEBT.
A Decision OF the Utmost Importance Rem
ticrcd by Judge Bond Yesterday.

A Decision OF the Utmost Importance Rem
ticrcd by Judge Bond Yesterday.
RICHMOND, VA, Sept. A decision Of the
utmost Importance was rendered here to-day
by Judge Bond, of tho United States court,
concerning tho state debt After decision was
rendered by tho United States supreme court
last spring In theVirginia debt case, counsel for
foreign bondhoders in London, through their
attorney, William A. Royall of New York, in
stituted a number Of suits In the circuit
court of tho United States here to test
the conclusions which Mr.. Royal insisted that
decision led to. Judge Bond to-day decided
these cases. He holds, first, that o tender
of coupons for taxes is a legal tender
that all consequences which flow from
any other legal tender flow from this
and that this is the effect Of the supreme
court decision. Second that officers OF
the state will be enjoined from levying on
taxpayers property after tender OF
coupons has been made. Third, that as the
questions in these suits depend upon the
constitutionality of the state'b legislation, the
suits arise under tho constitution and that cir
cult courts Of the United States have jurisdio-
tion Of them without regard to the citizenship
of the parties. Judge Bonds jurisdiction ex-
tends over the entire state, If his decision is
not reversed, it would seem that the state
can collect no more revenue until sho pro.
vides for the coupons.

About three hundred people witnessed the

the race. The best time made was 3:15.
