A SPEECH BY JOHN MCCUL-
IOUGH.

Ladies and Gentlemen-I think
shall detain you only for five minutes to
tell you how [ feel your magnificent com
pliment. | am sure, to be the hero OF
such scene as this is worth all my
years of effort. What can Isay to thank
you? How? My career in Boston seems
like dream, now that look back upon
it.-When / came here, poor, friend
less Ooy, without dollar in my pocket,
| played tor season as "Mr Davenport. >
| did very little, but | tried to do what |
could and do it well, but | had very lit
tie opportunity. l returned to Phila
delphia and there for the first time |
had the opportunity CT being with that
grand old monarch OF the American stage,
Edwin Forrest. What lessons OF indus
Try and perseverance did | learn from
that grand old actor! He brought me
tack to Boston in the character OF Pythlas
| do not know but what this will tire
you, but it interests me, and (cries OF
go onp' and applause) | came here to
open in that character with him, and l
was so greatly frightened that | dressed
about four o'clock in the afternoon. The
first thing [ had to do was to save Mr..
Forrest from being assassinated by about
fifty supernumeraries and the veriest sup
ernumerary could have knocked me over
I felt like Claude Melnotte when he had
lost Pauline. However, | stammered on
and got through for little while
Then Mr. Forrest took my hand, and
finding it was cold with perspiration, he
laid his hand on my shoulder and said,
Cheer up, old fellow" l have only
mentioned these things, ladies and
gentlemen, to show what teacher and
what teaching had. Nobody ever be-
gun the profession of the stage with less
prospect of success than / did, and with
less prospect of greeting such house as
this. To the gentlemen who signed the
card I wish to say that am extremely
honored to be recognized by such names
To the people of Boston what can l say?
Boston has always been very kind to me.
To the press of Boston | want to return
nv thanks

A DRUMMER's DIsLOCATED JAVA
drummer was on Vandala train going
East, saws the Terre Haute Express,
when a lady met with a peculiar acct
dent. Aroused from her sleep by the
arrival of the train at the depot, she
CAPPED, ana in doing so the lower jaw
Slipped from its hinges, so to speak, and
refused to 60 back il its natural position.
Her mouth was very wide open, SO much
that she was able to put her closed hand
into it, when she did iii her embarrass
ment when the crowd of passengers sur
rounded her. A physician was sent for,
but on his arrival he said nothing could
be done except that she stop over for
treatment. This she and her husband
and her mother, who accompanied her
refused to DO.
The travelling salesman came to the
rescue. With natural knowledge Of
all affections of the jaw, he proceeded tc
relieve the unfortunate lady from her
predicament. He began rubbing hel
Jaws with the knuckles of his hands,
warning her, however, that the treat
ment would be very painful. She with
stood it, and in a minute the jaw with
a snap returned to its normal position
The woman and her family were return
ing to England after an Improbable ex
perience in the far West.

THE Worlds Industrial Exhibition
opened at Amsterdam, Holland, last
Wednesday. The exhibition is reported
small when compared with the vast col
lections which were got together in Lon
don in 1862, in Paris in 1867, Vienna
in 1873, at Philadelphia in 1876, and at
Paris in 1878. But it is very much lar
ger than any exhibition which has been
previously held in Holland. There is a
large building devoted to the principal
industry of Observation-Disclosures
ting; and handsome structure has been
erected for the use of the King of the
Netherlands

THERE are 102,624 buildings in New
York city, OF which 7S,368 are occupied
wholly or in part as dwelling houses
Over 100000 families are sheltered in
those houses, or sixteen persons for every
building in the city, which is occupied in
any way as dwelling But only 32,09g
families own the houses they occupy,
leaving 1877, 600 families in rented dwell
ings. These belong to that part of the
population which goes to make up the ar
my of movers. 1t is estimated that al
least $4,000 of those families move every
year.

THE fame of an American lady doctor
is declared by the Nature of London to
have "spread far and wide over North
China" Her name is Miss Howard
Some time ago she attended the mother
of Ii Hung Chang, the great Viceroy,
and now she is treating his wife. She is
said to have great number of applica-
tons for assistance and advice from the
women of wealthy families, who would
die rather than be treated by a foreign
male physician" The Nature adds that
it CLOCKS as if the various countries Of
the East offered an almost inexhaustible
field for women possessing medical
knowledge and skill"

WHAT FREE TRADE MEANs.-We
think free trade would ruin many of our
leading industries, and give Great Bri-
tain control of our market, at least for a
long time to come too long for the present
generation to reap any benefit from the
alleged advantages to ensue from the
adoption of free trade. Protection is
our national policy, and under it every
mill, furnace and factory in the land has
been built and maintained. Every
thing is adjusted to this system, and its
abolition would necessarily cause com.
plete generalization. Fr0mer
