Is sold 10 the place and the town Is quiet

The colored population Of the town as a

and ragged, and the children are saucy to
an almost unbearable degree. Aquartette
Of mud colored descendants Of Ham were

/ went to see All Burnett tonight, and
a colored man and his female companion
were SO boisterous in their insulting con-
duct as to narrowly escape being elected
from the house. They should have been.
All Burnett Is getting old, but he Is as
good natured as ever, and gave me q run
ming history Of bis life, one OF the most
busy and eyenuul ones you could i'm
agine. Think Of forty years on the stage
in America, Euzope, Australia, New Zea-
land, travels as newspaper correspondent
in Russia, France, Germany, Italy; three
years OF soldier life in our own great re-
bellion, and some idea Of what this man
has seen and heard may be formed. Why,
he was present when the frat tel.
egram was sent from Washington to Balti-
more. He performed in England before q
cable was dreamed of, and appeared in
Wheeling when stage coaches were lux
ury, and bouquets for the profession not
thought Of like the old man, sixty three
years Of age, straight as at thirty, his hair
black, hiseye full Of laughter aud his mouth
Of smiles. Genial old Alf Burnett, may he
never play to losing houses. IA "
have so much material for letters from
here that l don't know how shall crowd
1t all in, but / must somehow. There is so
much talk about affairs at the asylum; 80
many items OF general news, the details OF
q pretty little rumpus in political circles,
that 1t will require four or five letters to
tell all / know. In the morning / intend
going over to see the Hospital, but first I'll
tell you some political news that i cleaned
from parties who are In position to know
what they say.
