any great danger of losing his money.
1t has long been an open question as to
whether the great iron-clads of which
Italy has a number are of any use in
actual warfare. The matter would not
long remain in doubt if war should
break out between this country and
that. The efficacy of our torpedoes and
torpedo boats would soon be tested.
The United States is country abound
ing in money and resources. Italy is as
poor as church mouse. Some OF our
seaports might suffer in the first clash
Of arms, but if New York, which is a
foreign city, should suffer somewhat,
nobody in the interior would care much.
Do we believe that there is any danger
of war between the United States and
Italy? No. Wedo not. Such an insig-
nificant monetary power would scarcely
be permitted to block the commerce OF
the world for week. But this country
ought to prepare herself to play the po-
tent part God and nature have assigned
to her by splendid naval ornaments,
and this Italian scare will doubtless
contribute to that result.

The death OF Lawrence Barrett has
undoubtedly had a powerful influence on
Edwin Booth. The friendship which
existed between these great actors was
strong and binding. OF late years they
have been associated together very fre-
quently in management and in profess
sional engagements. Their close union
dates back at least twenty years, to the
time when Booth, in his own theater in
New York City, produced that glorious
revival OF Julius Cesar in 1871 which,
in connection with the debts arising
from the building of the edifice, forced
him into bankruptcy. In that
ambitious revival, upon the cos
tunes of which alone. $4,000 were
spent, Booth, Barrett and Bangs
an alliterative trio--gave the people
some of the best tragic acting ever
heard on any stage. The telegraph ad-
vises us that Booth has determined to
retire from the stage. He has cancelled
the last two weeks of his present en-
gagements and has declined to enter
into any negotiations for new ones next
year. 1t is pleasant to know that
the great tragedian is comfortably
fixed pecuniarily. On recent oc-
casion in which he went bail
for Thespian friend. he swore
that he was worth over 5000, 900; and,
while that is not large wealth, in the
modern acceptation of the term, or for a
man who has earned the enormous sums
of money that he has handled, it is still

his present determination. Rest and
seclusion will in all likelihood reknit
his energies and rekindle his ambition.
A man of fifty-four years of age ought to
have at least decade OF active profes-
sional life before him; and doubtless,
after he has recovered from his present
morbid mood, the old fascination will
regain its hold on this versatile and ac-
complished actor.
