even when the greatness OF Salvini is
absent, than when Salvini is present and
his support is inferior. A great mans
greatness, no matter in what it may con-
sist, shows to better advantage among
those who are considered his peers than
among his interiors; and this is as true OF
great actor as OF any other great man.
In America and England the star system
prevails, "the detestable star SYSTEM" as
Lewes terms it, In France the very con-
trary is the case, and everything is done
to make the ensemble superior.
A person in Paris may constantly
attend the performances at the Comidie
Francaisc and will always be charmed
with the acting not OF any particular
actor or actress, but with the acting OF
every one. The very reverse Of this is
the case in London. Look at the Lyceum.
When person goes to the Lyceum such
person goes to see Henry Irving and
Ellen Terry. The interest centers in
them,a not in the piece and its present
alton.
In the ensemble system personal excel
lence is not wanting; on the contrary,
personal excellence is general. and it is
this which gives this system such great
superiority over. the star system. The
star system is dying out. This is true in
the case OF opera as in the drama. The

THE FEE SEASON.

The News OF last night says that the fee
season has begun again. This remark is
called forth because an arrest for unlaw-
full cohabitation was made yesterday, and
means that the enforcement of the law is
going on No doubt the payment of any
public officer by the fee system is bad,
but none the less the law should be en-
forced, fees or no fees. That there are
more cases OF unlawful cohabitation than
any other class is true; and no doubt it is
also true there are plenty of cases of lewd
cohabitation, and these cases also ought
to be punished. If unlawful cohabi-
tation as used in the Edmunds
law is destructive of the family as
founded in all Christian countries, so also
is lewd cohabitation destructive of the
sanctity of the family, and when the
family is destroyed the State is imperiled.
The Edmunds law was enacted for q
special purpose, the suppression of polyg-
amy, and did not assume to deal with
any other question. We have been in
formed on very good authority that
Senator Edmunds would not believe
there were not laws in Utah on such
matters rs adultery, lewd coliabitation,
ETC., and hence did not intend to include
any such legislatian in his bill. These
laws do not exist in Utah, but they
should, and it is to be hoped that the
Legislature Which meets this win
ter will enact all needed legis-
lation upon these subjects. The
blame for this condition OF things
must rest upon the local Legislature and
not upon Congress, for the Legislature
has the power to enact any and all laws
necessary. II any such laws shall be EN-
acted, we trust that the compensation to
the Prosecuting Attorney, whether he be
the United States Attorney or the County
Attorney, whose duty it shall be to prose-
cute violations of such laws, will not be in
fees but in set salary.

ON ACTING.

Salyinl is again in this country, and his
personal triumph is as great as ever. 1t
is said that the company supporting him
is very inferior, and the New York critics
say it is the worst ever seen in that city.
II is hard to understand how a man OF
Salvni's wonderful power and ability can
consent to play with inferior support.
In certain roles he has probably never
had an equal, and he certainly can gain
nothing by contrast. Whatever may be the
beauty and worth OF drama when rea
that beauty and worth will be abseL
when the drama is put upon the stage

be salyini's greatest character, and yet

A SENSIBLE VIEW.

The Depew-Grant-Johns controyer-
sy continues to be much discussed. The
San Francisco Post, Republican paper,
OF Monday last has some very sensible
remarks to make on the subject, and we
give them below. In passing, we will say
the Post is altogether too good and sensi-
BILE journal to be Republican paper:
Depew's story of his interview with Grant
as to the contemplated treason of President
johnson has been received by the press with
almost universal incredulity. There is a
natural unwillingness to believe that man
who held so great place could have been
guilty OF so great crime as is now charged
against him. 1t is no wonder that opium has
been brought into the case to explain folly
SO nnspeakable as that which Depew imputes
to Lincoln's successor.
1t is well to recall facts in Johnson's
career in forming a Judgment upon this
charge OF disloyalty. 1t must be remem-
bered that he had been a Breckjnridoe
Democrat, Southern man and slave
holder. He was Republican only in his
opposition to secession; and, in this oppo-
sition, he showed the most undoubted cour-
age ana patriotism, Drawing the hostility of
his neighbors in Tennessee, and sufferino
tne loss OF his slaves and the destruction Of
fender of the Union cause made him nm
available candidate for Vice President, as n
representative war Democrat, His services
were great at very critical time, and these
services, together with his unsweryinQ oppo-
sition to secession throughout the war
should not be forgotten in weighing the seri,
GUS accusation that Depew made against his
memory.
There is enough publicly known to explain
most OF Johnson's acts preceding the i'm.
peachment trial. At the close OF the war
there was very prevalent belief that the
hepnblican party, having fulfilled its mis-
sion"-its reason for existing having ceased

"COUNTED OUT"

He was Count with wealth untold;
She was maid en- young and fair;
He had come from his castle old;
She had come from the country air.
And so they met on a summers eve.
Just as the golden sun had fell.
And Cupid at once began to weave
Over their hearts his mystic spell.
But far away where the Merrimac turns
The wheels of thousand hurrying looms
Her country lover waited and watched,
And dreamed Of her mid the clover blooms
But alas, for the hopes that depend on love
For love is subtle, elastic thing
That is easily lured from its native shrine
By the glitter of ollar-and-a-quarter ring
30 every day her love for the Count
Grew more intense; for the foolish girl
let glitter and pomp and vain display
4 Set her giddy sense in q maddened whirl.
And so they were wed and the maiden fair
Forgot her country lover, Jim;
~For sure" she said, IF get q Count,
/ Why should bother myself with him?'
But the Count" soon proved fraud-a thief:
She returned to her country lover and said:
81 loved you best, but thought him Count
And so welded him in your stead"
But he had welded baker girl;
And he was happy though he was poor:
And he said: Another man counted me out;
So go your way and return no more"
MORAL.
And now young ladies, take my advice;

Because he doesn't wear diamond rings,

The Governor-General of Canada
gets the same salary as the President
of the United States.
One of the first nominations for the
Presidential campaign of 1888 is that
made by Mississippi paper, who
names that young and rising states
men, Samuel j. Tilden.
The managing Democratic politi-
clans of Iowa are much excited at the
fact that the candidate whom they had
selected for marshal of the southern
district of that State, Campbell, was
not selected, and that man named
Williams, whom the Congressman say
they do not know, has been appointed.
Ex-Governor Thomas Waller, of
Connecticut, consul-general of the
United States at London, has been
presented by General Merritt, his pre-
decessor, to the Lord Mayor of Lon
don, and has assumed the duties of
the consulate. General Merritt will
visit the continent before returning to
the United States.
The farewell dinner to Hon. Will
liam R. ROBBERS, United States Minis

Mrs. Logan, who was in Washing
ton when the reelection of her hus-
band was achieved in the Illinois Leg
islature, was the recipient of many
congratulations. She is an able NO.
man. Some of the correspondents
tell a pretty story Of the last cam
paign which illustrate her adroitness.
Two Republican candidates were
billed in an Ohio city, but through
some miscalculation the Logan party
were not met and escorted to the no.
tel. John was tired and a bit dis
gusted with the drift of things, and a
reporter got hold of him at the right
time. The candidate for vice-Presi-
dent boiled over, said things that
would not look well in print, and the
reporter started off with a good inter-
view in hand /; but Mrs. Logan did not
propose to have it so. She followed
the young man into the hall, and
talked to him like a mother. Point
ing out that the general was tired and
indiscreet, and recognizing fully the
value of the talk as "news," she
begged the reporter as a personal ia
vor not to print his notes. She put
the whole matter with amiable en-
treaty as personal favor; said her
husband should remember the writer
and in time won her point. The in
terview never appeared. This story |
at least illustrates the tact and watch |
lulness of Mrs. Logan, and it is good |
enough to be true. She has served |

Appointment Revoked.

One James Blackburn, brother of
Senator Joe Blackburn, of Kentucky,
was appointed internal revenue col
lector, but President Cleveland has
revoked the appointment, on account
of a letter he wrote his wife during
the war. AS much curiosity is now
felt to see the letter, we give it below
as follows:
ABINGDON, Va, Oct. 2. 1861.
NV Dear Wife: Il have left you and
our children in the land of the despot,
but God grant that may soon be able to
make the Union men of Kentucky feel
the edge of my knife. From this day |

and to him l will never grant my soul in
death, for they are towards and villains
enough. Brother Henry and l arrived
here without hindrance. | have had
chills all the way, and | hope to live to
kill forty Yankees for every chill that
ever had. 1 learn that Hardee is still in
the Arkansas lines inactive, and if this
proves true, l will tender my resignation
and go Immediately to Kentucky. 1 hope
that l will do my duty as rebel and a
free man. Since l know the Union men
of Kentucky, intend to begin the work

Frederick T, FreIInghuysen.

The death of ex-Secretary Freling-
huysen at his home in Newark, n. d.,
removes the ablest member OF eX-
President Arthur's cabinet, and the
one upon which he personally most
relied. Gen. Arthur, who is not in
the best of health, will be naturally
greatly depressed at this invasion of
death so soon after the dissolution of
his official family. The country will
sorrow for distinguished public man
whose long career was after the old
fashioned type. He was allied to the
stalwart wing of his party, and while
it was not possible always to agree
with the vigor of his partisanship, 1t
was impossible to question the integ-
rity of his convictions. No shadow
of a suspicion of unworthy motives
fell over any portion of his long ca
reer. The genuine quality and court
ly, pleasing bearing of Mr.. Freling-
huysen were natural to him. He in
herited much, for his father was a
we'll known man, and his grandfather
had been an officer in the revolution
airy army, and United States Senator
from New Jersey. Mr.. Frelinghuy-
sens father died when he was very
young, and the boy was adopted by
his uncle, Theodore Frelinghuysen,
who served as president of Rutgers
college, United States Senator, chan
cellor of the University of New York,
encouragement of New Jersey and
mayor of Newark, and was the Wing
candidate for vice-President upon the
ticket with Henry Clay.

cerebro-spinal meningitis. He has no

A consignment of lis bulls, Gal

Mass. These bulls were imported by
President Hill of St. Paul, Minneap-

The Chicago Tribune says that the
failure of the Texas ranchmen to open
a government trail for their young
cattle to be driven to market over,
will be blessing to them by inducing
them to mature their cattle at home
and develop their agricultural resour-

ONCE IS ENOUGH. are some
things which are never done but once,
and among these is the leap from the
Brooklyn bridge. Odlum is entitled
to his fame. 1t cost him his life, and
such being the terms there are none
that desire to share it. Then there is
Niagara rapids, which no one will ever
swim again. Webb, who persisted
there, is entitled to his fame on such
terms, and no one will ever desire to
share it. Some other things never
done but once may also be mentioned
in the same connection. No one has
ever attempted to descend from bal
loon by a parachute since Green was
killed in this manner in England few
years ago. No one has ever attempt
ed to ascend the Matterhorn since
Lord Douglass and his associates per-
ished there and still rest in unknown
graves in the glaciers. No one has
ever tried the leap down the Genesee
falls since Sam Patch thus won fame
and death. To go back to antiquity,
no one ever rivalled Milo, who rived
the oak, but lost his life, and the ex-
ample set by Pharoah at the red sea
was never repeated, even should the
occur again. These things
are only done once.
