constrained to yield.
Miss keene. however, threw q sop to
them by telling them to do anything they
liked with their parts. intimating at the
same time that the play would probably
run but a week. Acting upon this hint
Sothern "guyed' his part, with q view to
making it ridiculous. That play was the
celebrated american Cousin" Sothern's
caricature of Lord Dundreary made him
famous; Joe Jefferson's Asa Trenchard
brought reputation to the future great Rip
Van Wrinkle, and Couldock's Abel Muir
colt surely did him no harm. Indeed it
was a great advantage to be in such a play
even in a mediocre part. That play had
the longest run any play every had in
America up to that time. Mr.. Jefferson
afterward paid $3.50 premium for a box at
a benefit for the man who as Abel Muir
colt had helped him to make his name in
the american Cousin"
Mr.. Couldock's great part of late years
has been Dunstan Kirke, in the play of
Hazel Kirke," which was suggested by
the "Willow Copse," the two being very
similar; but Couldock said that the old
play was immensely stronger and better
thar the new one. "Hazel Kirke'' is, how
ever, known to the present generation,
while its predecessor is not. There is an
interesting fact about the performance of
Mr.. Couldock's part in "Hazel Kirke."
When Dunstan is demented and forlorn
Mr.. Couldock, i~mpersonating the char
acter, was accustomed to wear the same
pair of shoes that he wore when he first
played the part. He bought them in Eng
land when he first came over, and wore
them first on the street. When they be-
gan to get shabby he wore them in the ap-
propriate parts on the stage. They grew
more anG more dilapidated, and gradually
descended in the social scale until 1851,
when Mr.. Couldock found them just right
for the part in which he now wears them,
and for that part he has worn them and
carefully preserved them ever since. He
said of them: "They are not a slightly pair
of boots, but there's q deal of character in
them, and l wouldn't part with them for a
storeful of new ones."

Portrait Painting Under Difficulties.

An interesting story is told of the diff
culties under which Miss E. M. Meyrick.
the artist, labored while painting the por-
trait of Explorer Stanley for the Royal
Geographical society of London. The sit
tings took place at Cairo, and she found
her model SO very restless that it was with
difficulty she could catch his face in repose.
While engaged on his nose or some other
feature the explorer would pop up, rush
around the room with his hands in his
pockets and begin to dictate his book to an
invisible stenographer.

NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-Mr. William Wal
'dorf Aston has just had one of his histori-
cal novels illustrated, paying for the work
a very large sum of money. He secured
the best designers and engravers, and they
have produced for him most artistic and
exquisite illustrations. The public, how
ever, will never see these illustrated vol
umes, for they are designed only for a linn
tied number of copies which Mr.. Aston ex-
poets to present to his intimates. 1t is
whispered in literary circles here that MI.
Aston has by no means given up his liter
airy inclinations, although the manage
ment of the enormous estate bequeathed
recently to him by his father makes him
as busy a man as any merchant or banker
in the city. 1t is not known exactly what
MI. Aston next proposes to publish, but it
is known that he is giving all the time he
can spare to the study of medieval Italian
history, and it is fair to surmise, the pub
fishers think, that he has in view another
romance of that epoch.
Mr.. Astor's latest publication was a very
good historical novel. The idea occurred
to him when he was the United States
minister to Italy, and he spent much time
when living in Rome in the study of the
times which he thought of depicting in
CHS story. 1t was his second novel,. The
first was a fairly creditable work, but ex-

of Duty.

Happiness is not only a privilege, but a
duty-not a mere outward good that may
perhaps come to Us, but an inward posses,
sion which we are bound to attain. When
we remember the contagious character of
happiness, the strength, courage and hope
it excites by its very presence, and the
power for good it exerts in every direction,
we cannot doubt u obligation to attain
as much of it IS is possible.-New York

lea against anything English at this time
as there is now a leaning in that direction,
n the feeling seemed to be strongest
against English actors. Seven years later
occurred the celebrated Astor Place riots
in New York, in which Mr.. Macready was
30 shamefully treated. The critics abused
Couldock numerically.
The Philadelphia Dispatch alone would
have snuffed out the genius of a less per-
sistent person. "The only decent thing,'
A said this paper, that Couldock did in
Macbeth was his fight and his death,
land if that had occurred in the first act
instead Of the fifth the audience would
Fhaye been greatly relieved" Couldock
managed to weathers the preliminary
Isquall, and after Miss Cushman left again
ffor Europe he went to the Walnut Street
1theatre, Philadelphia, where he remained
-four years IS leading man, becoming a
great fayorite. During this time the IA
nous Nine. Celeste played a star engage
Nment at. the theatre, and produced the
y"Willow Copse," in which Mr.. Couldock
appeared as Luke Fielding. This was
answering a call before the curtain, he led
Mime. Celeste forward. Instead of assum-
ing the ovation to be hers she presented
Mr.. Couldock to the audience and said to
him, 'sThis play belongs to you and you
only" She did more than this. She pre-
sented him with a copy of the play, and he
continued to play in it for many years.
Mr.. Couldock was connected with one of
the oldest incidents in the history of the
American stage. He was engaged to play,
for the season of 1859 at Laura Keene's
theatre in New York. The season opened
with the tttWillow Copse,n which ran one
week, q long time in those days, and was
followed the next week by Mr.. Couldock's'

1t seems that diamonds are found in New
South Wales, as we'll as in Victoria and
Queensland. Up to date nearly 100000
stones have been obtained, the largest
weighing nearly six ccrats. They are found
in the river drifts of the tertiary formation
and in beds derived from these. They are

stones. and on a par with those of Brazil.

q sermon last night on The Danger Of
Lynching. apropos of the Forbes case
His text was from Ist John. iii IS: NO
murderer hath eternal life abiding in
him. He said /; Seeing the great dan
ger Of lynchinr. cannot hold my
peace. Lynching is murder in the first
degree and is cowardice in the extreme.
1t is immoral and sinful in the lowest
order. 1t lis said that lynch law derives
its name from Lynch. a backwOodsman
and ontlaw; who redressed his wr ngs
with his own hand without law or order.
Lynch law is an ignorant. cowardly
proceeding which takes the place of in
telligent civil law. Ii is. with some, in
slant and popular popular
vengeance inflicted by a cowardly excl
ted mob. which judges without the US.
uaI forms of law. The punishment is
usually applied TO those in the custody
of the law by disguised mob with pre-
meditated malice, which makes them
guilty of murder in an awful. degree.
Men who mask themselves for the
purpose of stealing and numbering per
son who is in jail are members of bad
society. and the practice should be put
down by all law abiding citizens. / ap

Christians of the church in this enlight

must go from our civilization. Lynch
ing has been carried on in the Soutf
and Southwest for long time where 9!
per cent. of the the persons lynched are
colored persons.
ITO our sorrow and to the shame Of
lynchers, it has become so common tina
it is practiced under the very dome OF
