CURIOUS COT NrENANCES.
In the way of various and often lu
dicrous facial expression, the stage
comedian, no matter how industriously
contortivc his own features may be,
has decidedly the best of lis. Ii you
look about you in an audience, at q
time when something amusing is being
done at the other side of the footlights,
you will sec many kinds of curious
countenancos; but when these arc
viewed from the stage, as thew may be
when the house is tolcrably light, the
effect is we'll worthy of instantaneous
photography. One man scowls tiercely
at Joke, as though angered or in
suited by it, although at the same time
he may be inwardly enjoying it. An
other affects blase manner, and will
not let his eXpressionless countenance
betray that he so much as hears any
thing. Between these two may sit a
man who laughs unreservedly when he
feels like it. Then, there is q wide
range of smiles, from the neat one OF q
pretty CIR s red lips and white teeth to
the terrible grimacc of an ugly mouth.
Joseph Jefferson told me- whe | asked
nm now he kept himself up TO the
work of playing lip Van Wrinkle
nightly for twenty years, that he had
recourse to two eXIedients. First, he
knew exactly when the laughs ought
to come in, and if they didn't it was a
warning to him that he was sighting
his job. Second, he found amending
di, version in watching one or more of
the faces before him. He would pic (
out either very pleasant or very
grotesiue visage, close enough to the
stage to he clearly visible, and he
rarely failed to get amusement out OF
that face by covcrtly watching it
throughout the evening.

The remainder of the day was spent Ia
committee q the whole In the discussion of
u bill for the payment of claim of 800 for
the occupation Of certain property in Mem
phis by United States troops in 1864. IL was
opposed by Mr. GroSycnor of Ohio; Mr.
Thomas, of Wisconsin. and Mr. Brewer of
Michigan, and advocated by MI Richardson,
Of Tennessee.
Mr., Allen Of Michigan, said that the gen
tlemcn on the Democratic side had settled
two things First that they would not al
low the loyal States To receive back their
share OF the direct tax, and, second, that the
Southern States should not be required Ia
pay their share. He would, therefore, sul,.
gest that all claims of the character Of the
one pending should be put up as setoils
against the direct tax owed by the southern
States.
Mr.. Richardson replied that n day had been
fixed for the consideration of the direct tax
bill. II the gentleman thought that II was
not good policy to pay these war claims,
why had his party In 1854 passed law FOL
the payment of such claims to loyal per

Mr.. Allen replied that in 1864 he had nc
idea that Congress was doing anything OF th,
kind. lie had been in Tennessee at that

dition, half clad and i'll kept and occupying
sleeping apartments decidedly unfit. Thirty
two men sleep IN single room, about 20 by

They also complain that until recently, when

John McCay, boy was sent TO the farm
from Faulkner county in September TO
serve ninety days for petit larceny,
but Notwithstanding the fact that six
months had since elapsed he was still
on the farm. Wednesday Sheriff Dawson
asked for an explanation and the manager
claimed a balance of l9S days against Mccoy.
The boy had been sick considerable part of
the time and while sick his term had evil

leased at the request Of Mr. Dawson, who
purchased him suit OF clothes and paid his
