MINOR MENTION.

WHILE slugger Sullivan was waiting in the
Philadelphia courthouse until bondsmen could
be found to secure his release, he gave utterance
to sentiments of disgust in regard to his treat
ment in that city. 1t was a shame, he thought
that no was allowed TO spend so much
money for training and other incidentals
under the promise that the fight was to be al
lowed to go on. 1t was too bad really. from!his
point of view, but is especially rough on Mayor
Smith, who gave the distinguished pugilists as
surances Of his highest consideration and free
dom of the city, so far as the smuggling match
was Sconcerned. AS q matter of fact, Mayor
Smith and his guests reckoned without their
Judge, who turned out to be not their kind of a
man.

circumstance that the groups gathered in front
of the Grant mansion are composed mainly of
women. gives utterance to the belief that this is

constituent. and the stories Of her exploits are
still current in the French capital. Her cos
tunes were always oddly questionable and she
delighted above all things in breaking the rules
of royal etiquette. On ono occasion, having had
Napoleons box at the opera placed at her dis
posal, and finding at the last moment that she
could not use it personally she sent her servants
to sit in it. Her freaks were regarded as fair
exhibits of Amercanism, and so forgiven. She
now lives up the Hudson, in the neighborhood of
Samuel j. Tildens Greystone, and is as jolly and
versatile as ever. Her husband is engaged in
preparing Tilden's memoirs. The mistress of
Minister McLane's household in Paris is to be o
lady equally distinguished in radically differ
ent fashion. Mrs. James Brown Potter, niece
of Mr. McLane, has accepted his invitation to
relieve his invalid wife of the social duties that
he thinks ought to be politely performed. Mrs.
Potter is behind mona as a leader in New York
society. She moves in the same circles with the
Astors, she is connected by marriage with the
Potter family of Episcopal bishops. millonaires
and lawyers, and she is our foremost amateur
actress She has come nearer than any other
New Yorker to taking the position of a "profes-
sional beauty" She rather riskily went on the
stage of regular theater to act for o charity,
and for awhile her social position was a little
endangered thereby, but she was too solidly
fixed to be toppled, and she has remained in
high vogue. Several plays translated by her
from the French have been used by her amateur
company, and one was tried professionally at the
Madison square Theater. though unsuccessfully.
She is clever but not great as an actress but her
fashionable leadership atones for all faults.
With plenty of money, culture and prestage she
is bound to make q sensation in Paris She is
preparing to go in August perhaps little
sooner
A curious element in Mrs. Potters personality
is her employment of the Delsarte system of ex-
preston. Delsarte was French actor and
painter, who very deliberately evolved some
intricate rules for the employment not only of
the features, but the arms. hands, and even the
feet in supplemeDting the meanings of speech
Mrs. Potter was an apt student of these theories
when, as Miss Urquhart, she was New Orleans
belle AT one time she thought of going on the
theatrical stage, but her advantageous marriage
opened up another career Since taking up
amateur theatricals, she has perfected herself in
Delsarteism, and her drawing-room manners,
unaffected though they seem, are to the smallest
gesture in obedience with art.

HENRY IRVING.
He Closes His American Tour, and Pockets
$4,000 in Profits.

He Closes His American Tour, and Pockets
$4,000 in Profits.
Correspondence of the indianapolis Journal.
New YORK, April 4--Henry Irving gave his
farewell American performance this evening.
He acted Shylock. The house was crowded and
the best estimate is that the yield of money was
not less than 1000 This calculation is based
on the assumption that Irving benefited to a
reasonable extent by the high prices that were
paid for the seats. Last season, when he was
managed by Abbey, he complained openly of the
practice of compelling the public by means of
sham ticket speculation, to pay more than the
advertised rates. During both of this years en-
gagements in this city, under his own business
control--until to-night-the promise of direct
dealing with the public kept so far as could be
found out But when the sale of seats for the
final performance began, early in the week.
those who waited at the very head of the line
were shown a diagram from which seven
hundred places were marked off. Only the
poorer ones were to be had at the boxoffice price
of 81 to So. The missing tickets were subse-
quently to be had of alleged spectators in the
lobby and elsewhere. at S. to AS high as $40.
There is to be dinner to Irving at Del
monicos on Monday evening The company
will be distinguished by many celebrities, and
will probably number hundred, though that
depends on the acceptance of invitations involv-
ing assessment of $15 apiece The usual
charge for a Delmonico formal dinner is 3d.
which includes as much wine, from table claret
to champagne, the drinkers ask for; but es-
pecialy elaborate banquets have occasionally
cost $25. and it was at first proposed to make
this such an exception, until it was found that
the figures would keep the company small.
Iryings season has been magnifcently remun-
erative. His average receipts throughout the
tour were ST., 700 for each performance including
matinees At the same time his expenses are
relatively light. That is to say, the salaries of
his players are scarcely more than half those
paid by American managers, or which the same
persons would demand if hired originally for this
country, instead of having come at their London
wages. His scenery, too, was all from the stock
of his London Lyceum. 1t is said, by way o.
comparison that Lawrence Barretts running OK
penses this season are as much as Irvings, with
out anything like as valuable artistic results.
The clear profit of Irvings tour is understood to
be $780, 000 He has no business partner to share
with He will sail for home on Tuesday.

John C.. Calhoun.

To the Editor Of the Indianapolis Journals:
Some weeks ago I read somewhere perhaps in
the JournaD a description of the events con-
nected with South Carolina notification. In
it was stated that Calhoun barely escaped being
arrested by the authorities under Jackson; but
that he finally yielded, voted for measure Tor
his friends voted for it, that defeated his plans;
and that thus his life was probably saved. Can

A GEORGIA man is represented as firing twice
with shotgun at his own shadow which he
mistook for thief. To be deceived by ones
shadow, it would have to be near life-size, and
to be lifesize he would have to stand within
arms length of it. The average citizen of Geor-
gia is evidently not a teetotaler.
