'IT will be found" said Henry
Irving in his Boston lecture, "that the
most natural, the most seemingly ac-
cidenral effects are obtained when the
working of the mind is seen before the

was enjoined on me when I was

actress, Charlotte Cushman. 1 re.
member that when she played Meg
Merrilies l was cast for Henry Ber-

an actor with no singing voice is adj

was my duty to give Meg Merrilies
piece of money, and did it after the
traditional fashion by handing her
large purse full of coin of the realm,
in the shape Of broken crockery,
which was generally used in financial
transactions on the stage, because
when the virtuous maiden rejected
with scorn the advance of the lordly
ibertine, and threw his PERM
clous bride upon the ground, the
clatter of the broken crockery
suggested fabulous wealth. But after
the play, Miss Cushman, in the course
OF some kindly advice, said to me
Instead of giving me that purse, don't

Gen. Grants Improvement Deceptive.

DR.. Shrady, in the Medical Record of May 9,
says of the condition of Gen. Grant: ''During
the past week Gen. Grants bodily health has
much improved. His appetite is better and bic
swallowing is not attended with much pain.
Locally his disease shows slight tendency to
progress. The sloughy exudation has disap-
peared, exposing exuberant CALCULATIONS in Its
place. This condition still involves the right
and posterior parts of the pharynx, the right
tonsilar region and the right side of the base
of the tongue The palatlal curtain is still con-
siderably infltratee, although all signs of
acute inf1ammatory trouble have disap-
peared At the base Of the urula small
fungoid excresence has developed, Which is
extending. On the free margin of the palatal
curtain, midway between the urula and right
tonsilar region similar growth of very small
size has also appeared The liberation at the
base of the right anterior faucal pillar, and
alongside of the tongue, present wormeaten
surface, indicating all extension of the destruc-
tive process. The enlarged glands under and
around the right angle of the lower jaw are
somewhat harder and quite firmly fixed.
There is, however, less pain in the deceased
parts than formerly. The patient obtains a
full nights sleep with minimum amount of
morphine, and awakes in the morning feeling
much refreshed Despite the favorable gener-
al condition, there have been unfortunately no
changes in the local disease to warrant any
modification of the original diagnosis by the
members of the medical staff.

The Observation-Disclosures Battle.

WINNIPEG, Man. Special Telegram, May Z.
Later and fuller dispatches received from
Battleford regarding the fight last Saturday
indicate that the result was not on favorable
for our troops as at first believed, and the
opinion is expressed by military men here that
Otter had to retreat On Battleford fighting all
the way. From a comprehensive account re-
celved, the following extract is taken:
The force reachedits destination at laybreak
at Cut Knife creek. Scouts were leading fol-
lowed by guns. We at once come upon the
tepees, and the Indians opened fire. The In
dams had laid a trap for us and were scattered
all around with half breeds among them. At
the outset they charged and attempted to cap
ture the guns. They came within twenty yards
and were driven back by mounted
police. battery and the CAT
ling opened fire, moving the enemy
down. The battle ragged fiercely, then wavered
as the Indians drew off, only to return to at
tack again with stronger force. We were now
almost completely surrounded. The Battle
ford Rifles cleared the bush and left our rear
OPEN For five hours the battle ragged. The
Indians were subjected to CALLING fire, and
with the aid of the Calling gun and the two sew
en-pounders whitening storm of shell was
poured into the brush. Orders were
given by Col Otter to withdraw from
the advantageous position they occupied,
as we were very much exposed while
the enemy was comparatively safe from
uTe Ills movement WAS uOtlC0u ny tLo III
dians, and an attempt made to cut off the re-
treat by number Of redskins massing them
selves on the left flank of the troops. Otter
finally succeeded in retiring from the field,
and fought his way as he retreated on Battle
ford Many consider the result as unfortu-
nate, as it will lead the Indians to consider
themselves victors and they will assume the
aggressive.

General Mcdowell Dead.


Brig. Gen. Irwin Mcdowell died on Tuesday
the 5th inst, at San Francisco His death was
due to piloric disease Of the stomach. He had
been in critical condition for the past two
weeks. Gen. Mcdowell was born in Franklin
county, Ohio, Oct Is, 1915 At the age Of
sixteen years he entered the military academy
at West Point, having received his preliminary
education in France Graduating from West
Point in 1888, he was appointed second lieu
tenant of artillery in the army From ls4l to
calamity through the Mexican war as aid de-
camp to Gen. Wool, and was brevetted captain
for his conduct at the battle of Buena Vista.
Appointed brigadier general May IA, 1861, he
was three days later assigned to the command
of the department of Northeast Virginia and
the defenses of Washington on the Virginia
side of the Potamac and on May "a to the
army of the Potomac, which he commanded at
the battle of Bull Run. At the opening of the
war of the rebellion Gen. Mcdowell was con-
but the disasters at the first battle of Bull Run,
for which he was probably in part RESPONSE
BILE, clouded his fortune, and it was very like ~
