Ono Of the adopts in the transforma-

writes Boston Herald correspondent,
Is Edwin Clcary. He had the part Of a
sneaking. slouching spy in - Moral
Crime, and his presentation Of thor
oughly disreputable and Shiny fellow
was remarkable. Ii occurred TO an
auditor that he had once seen him as
the twin brother Of Viola, in Twelfth
Night. when his resemblance 10 dainty
Nine. Modieska was feature of the en-
tcrtainment. 1t was hard TO believe
that the two figures had the same man
for a basis. So / sought out Cleary,

What l mean Is, that my features are
conventional one of them being
striking. That il the prime requisite.
Henry Irving, for example, couldn't

can easily produce a perfect likeness Of
him. lli the first place, it can readily
be imagined that Modjeska did nothing
ON her side to resemble me. She was
concerned to look her prettiest, of
course. and so the task was all put on
me. ! began by supplying myself with
photographs giving her profile from all
sides. Guided by these, studied out
the outlines and initiated them, partly
by painting, chiefly BY sticking wax on.
My nose was built up to the shape Of
hers, though several sizes bigger. Then
got wig that was counterpart of
the one she wore, and the duplication of
some parts Of her costume completed
the job. Every evening before going
on the stage repaired to her room to
compare myself with her, and to make
any alterations that seemed necessary.

process was substantially the same. and
the result more successful. because she
had dashing. mannish manner in her
assumption of masculinity, and it was a
fact that before spoke in my first scene
the audience, unfamiliar with the en-
frances and exits of the play, did not
recognize me. Miss Nelson had keen
sense Of fun, and she seldom failed to
pat her eye to peephole to watch the
people when they discerned tho counters
felt. That was her nightly diversion
while playing Twelfth Night"

TIE EADs RAILWAY.

Captain Eads and those associated
with him in the proposed railway
across the ,sthmus, have concluded TO
discontinue their appeals to the gov
eminent for aid. For two or three
wears Eads has been trying to work his
scheme through Congress; he professed
TO want no money directly from the
treasury, but desired the protection Of
the government for his canal, and that
the nation would guarantee the inter
est on the bonds. So much OF that sort
OF thing has been done, and so many
scandals have grown out of them, that
the captains proposition was not at all
favorably received. Besides, 1t came
at a bad time, for the Democrats we're
inst getting control OF the government
again, and were pledging themselves to
put stop 10 subsidies. Eads has
finally, and wisely, concluded that
nothing can be expected from govern.
ment. and has therefore announced that
the railway will be built by private sub
scription. and no guarantee will be
asked for the bonds. He says. also
that sufficient money 10 complete the
great undertaking csn be obtained
readily. He expects TO begin work II
1857. and says he will go ahead with i
7ust rs fast as the wise and economics
expenditure of money will permit.

OUTRAGEOUS.

Never before was the infamous char

mons and Of the men who are most sc
,iy. In waging it, so plainly illustrated
A. in tAis c4se Of the Dalton killing.
The man was brutality shot down, the
murder being very closely allied TO

the civilized globe would there be sug-
g.s,ion of excusing the man who fred

,pur.yerer. and subjected to alithe re-
strict;ons placed upon men who take
the lives of their fellows. Only those
vouId try to excuse or defend him who
were near relatives or close friends.
But here an evidently concerted effort
Is being put forth to relieve the fellow
from the legal consequences OF his awful
crime. He has been released by
giving a bond in less than one
fourth the sum that has been
erscted from q man charged with
the simple mlsdemeanor OF unlawful co
bsb;ration. when the law distinctly de
cI.res that bail cannot be taken in a
ease of murder. A portion OF the
publie press openly defends the killer.
and does its utmost to influence popu-
lar opinion in his favor. But the great
est outrage upon decency and law Is
the fact that the crime has been sent
for investigation to a grand jury, the
members of whiA were selected by this
same officer. all being picked because
of their known sympathy with him and
their hatred of the people to whom his
victim belonged. Eleven of these same
grand Jurors actually had the indecency

DESPERATION AND INFAMY.

The following special telegram was
received by The HERALD last evening
Perhaps the best comment that can be
made on the matter is the publication
of the dispatch itself. The infamy OF
the thing is so prominent, that atten
ton does not have 10 be called 10 II
The desperation of the radical faction
of the anti-Mormons is here displayed.
They understand the force and effect
OF the murder of Dalton, and know that
the deed will be looked upon by Con-
gress and the country as the natural
elimination of the vicious, high-handed
course that has been pursued by the
Federal officials in their crusade
against the Mormons. The crime
is a revelation to the country
against the malicious anti-Mormon
adventures, and il was to be expected
that one of the chiefs of the conspirs-
tors would become wild and reckless In
his efforts to counteract the disastrous
effects which the murder is likely to
have on the schemes of the would-be
plunderers. This is not the first time
that Rollister has slandered the dead
and nbeled the living when trying to
make point against the Mormons and
help along the wicked plot of himself
and associates. Here is his scandalous
effusion:

THE ELECTORAL COUNT BILL

It is said that the Senate will pass the
electoral count bill as il came from the
House, and thus make it impossible
that there can be a repetition OF the
shameless proceeding Of 1876, when the
Presidency was stolen because, through
the absence Of a law to prevent it, the
Republicans had it in their power to
commit the crime. The House bill is
in many respects preferable to the one
which passed the Senate last session
The latter provided that single return
from any State could be rejected by the
concurrent vote OF the two houses
and that either of two conflicting re-
returns from a State might be accepted.
The House struck out the provision
giving Congress the power to reject
single return; that Is to say, If no con-
test is made in State and the return
therefrom is regularly certified as re
ouired by law Congress must accept
and count the electoral vote. The
House has also guarded the mat
ter OF determining a dispute IN
State which expresses itseli
in two conflicting returns. Congress is
given power to settle such dispute
only when a State has distinctly waived
or neglected to exercise it, but when 8
State has given a decision Congress:
must accept it as final. If there ha:
been no decision within the State as u
