1t is said of Augustin DAILY, who is no
only unpopular in the dramatic pro.
fession but man of pronounced peculi.
arities in many directions, that he never
allows any of his subordinates to write
letters for him. He has capable stat

usually immersed in the most refreshing

did not fit, and during the long wait the
voice of the carpenter was heard in the
house. "What are they doing?" sale
