An Actor ON England.

M. B. Curtiss, Samuel of Posen," who
has just returned from trip to Europe, does
| not bring back q rose colored view of our
brethren across the water, whose style and
dress all Newport and fashionable people gen.
| orally affect so much He said to corres-
spondent of the Boston Herald: Yes, there
are some good fellows in England; plenty of
them, suppose, but, as a rule, they are the
most stuck up, conceited, supercilious lot
ever met. They don't like Americans, and
don't want anything to do with them. If
they pretend they do, it is because there is an
object in it. / had an idea of appearing
there, but 1 soon made up my mind that there
was neither success nor money to be made by
an American over there. People may come
back and tell you fairy tales, but these are
the facts. They will turn the cold shoulder
| to Americans right along, and make no bones
about it. The greatest disenchantment l
| ever had in my life was Henry Ir-
wing. Great actor! we'll, l think he is
the worst to be in such position ever
saw. They don't even pretend to say
he is q great actor. l heard lots of
people say they didn't like him but he's tho
fashion, that's ALL We went to see him in
most of his parts, and only found him worse
in one than in the other / never saw any
thing more dreadfully bad than his Romeo
lock. Why, we have any number of actors
who would be astonished to give such per-
fOrmances. He had bad voice, excessive
mannerisms and walk that is ridiculous.
sat in open mouthed wonder at what they
could see in him, but he only has to open his
mouth and they all applaud and say "won-
derful" He has lot of the nobility in the
boxes every night. They lead the applause
and the rest follow, Why, Irving is no more
to be compared to Booth than tallow candle
to an electric light. w. Il, Sheridan is an
actor who can play Louis II or shylock SO
much better than Irving that it simply makes
me wild to think there is so much hero wor-
ship around us. Helen Terry is fair lead
Ing lady, simply good actress; but don't
think they will like her here. However, sup
pose Irving will make money in America.
Anything that is not American makes money
here; anything that is American can make
mono there. l won't over without any pre-
judices, but | toll you it ought to make an
American happy when he can got back.

The Wasp and the sp,der.

Seth Green, the great fish culturist, says
one morning, when he was watching spiders
nest, a wasp alighted within an inch or two
Of the nest on the opposite side of the opening.
Creeping noisele5sly around towards the en-
trance of the nest, the wasp stopped little
short of it and for moment remained per-
fectly quiet in her web. Then reaching out
one of his antenna, he wriggled it before the
opening and withdrew it. This overture
had the desired effect, for the boss of the nest,
as largea spider rs one ordinarily secs, came
out 10 SEQ what new victim he had caught.
No sooner had the spider emerged to the point
at which he was Mt worst disadvantage than
tho wasp, with quick movement thrust his
sting into the body of his foe, killing him
easily and almost instantly. The expert
ment was repeated on the part of the wasp
and when there was no response from the in
side he became satisfied, probably, that he
held the fort. AT all events, he proceeded to
enter the nest and slaughter the young
spiders, who were afterward lugged of on Q
at time.
