ENIT-JOHN MCCULLOUGH.

The doctors have once more been
wrong and poor John Mccullough has
played his last part on life's stage. In
view of the encouraging bulletins which
his physicians issued after his return to
Philadelphia from the Bloomingdalc
Asylum, his death yesterday was
greatly unexpected. Many thought that
he would regain most of his former ro-
bust vigor and health, but the deadly
blood poisoning was not to be avertcd.
The left side of his brain had become
wasted and the artery that supplied it
with blood choked up. Under the
massage treatment, to which Mr.. Me
Cullough has been recently subjected,
this impediment was removed, but the
ensuing infusion of blood was more
than the weakened brain could bear.
Mr.. Mccullough had remarkably
successful career. He went on the stage
through the amateur avenue. He was
conscientious, hardworking man, AMI
10 these qualities as we'll as to his in
herent genius is due his great success.
He was a sincere, free handed, warm
hearted man, and no one enviea him
the high position which he had attainel |
by honest merit in his profession. He
was also generous liver and thor
oughly social in his nature. The real
cause of his sad break down was aggra-
waited no doubt by his habits not of
dissipation in its grosser sense, but of
undue conviviality and good fellowship
at irregular hours. He was always at
the service of his admiringfriends, and
like many another good soul that has
taken its fight before him, paid the
penalty.

Better Ventilation Wanted.

EDITOR CRITIC; In common with other
citizens of Washington l take pride in our
city having such an elegant and cozy place
of amusement as the New National Thea
tire, and l honor and admire the energy
and pluck of its proprietor in erecting this
beautiful temple. But | desire to call at
tention to what many consider serious
defect in its completeness in the hope that
the suggestion of the public voice will pro-
vide speedy remedy / refer to its want
of proper ventilation, which is evident to
all who attend, especially when the theatre
is full, or crowded as on Saturday evening.
The comfort of its patrons should suggest
some means for proper ventilation to be
provided for without delay.

PASTOR DowNEs of Boston preached
to large audiences in Boston yesterday.
At the evening meeting he referred to the
fact that his salary was eight months
in arrears and that he wanted money.
That he needed funds he was compelled
TO admit, although it was embarrassing
to him to have his financial affairs
publicly discussed. We should think
that the discussion of Mr., Downes' so.
cial affairs would also be subject of
embarrassment to him, but it doesn't
seem so.

THE Oklahoma boomers represent an
aggressive element of the frontier
West which will never be satisfied un-
til the fair domain they covet is opened
to settlement, but they cannot expect
TO make much headway by bucking
against the Government, AT the same
time their repeated incursions and eiec-
tions may not be without certain sort
of advantage to their cause in keeping
it before the country. Should Con
gress neglect the necessary legislation
in the premises, it will certainly not be
for want Of reminders that legislation
is necessary in order to make the lands
in question available to cultivation and
improvement.
