GHrrick a. . Manager.

Many of Garrick's actors thought themselves in certain characters superior to their manager. Barry as Romeo, Quin as Othello and Foote as Bayes were considered by their own adherents to surpass Garrick.
 Mrs. WoffinRton's Sir Henry Wildair was so much applauded that Garrick abandoned the part, and, in fact, for the sake of harmony he often gave up fa- vorite rarts to other members of the company. Mrs Siddons, who acted at Drury Lane during Garrick's last sea son, complained that she was kept hack through the jealousy of her manager We entirely agree with Mir. Knight that there could be no foundation for such a charge.
 In a description of Garrick's last sea son at Drury Lane in Smiths Book For Rainy Day, I've find that in Gar rick's last nine performances Mrs. Sid dons acted six times and always in leading parts. As manager Garrick was liberal, and his rule was firm and just. Even Mrs. Abingdon, for many years the most intractable of his sub jects and constant thorn in his side, was obliged to comply with his orders "Mr. Garrick and his profession, said Johnson, "have been equally indebted to each other. His profession made him rich, and he made his profession respect able. e."-Atheneum.

Emerson and the Guides-

The poet Emerson was never credited with being a handsome man, though people who knew him saw in his face his beautiful character and forgot to dis criminate between him and his appear ance. Years ago, when the "philoso- phers" were in camp at Follensbee pond, in the Adirondacks, Emerson was one of the party, and his devotion to his stud ies and "worthless writin" seemed to several of the guides a great waste of time, which might better have been spent in hunting and fishing.
 There was, however. a guide, Steven Martin. who became perhaps the most noted that the Adirondacks ever pro- duced. and who recognized in Emerson something of his real worth and upon whom the poet made great impression. "Steve, as he was familiarly called, was an observing man, and the poet s physical defects, then undoubtedly more prominent than in later years. did not escape his eye, as may be seen from the answer be gave to the question of the writer of this paragraph, "What kind of fellow was Emerson?" "Waal. sir, " said the old guide, "he was gentleman every inch, as nice fellow as you ever see; pleasant and kind. and scholar, too, allus fggerin, studyin and writin but, sir, he was, believe, the all fred est homeliest critter for his age that ever came into these woods Troy Times

 The circumstances of the murder are such as to make 1t one of peculiar atrooity. The young victims clothes were partly torn from her and strewn about for quite a distance, showing that she had made a desperate resistance against the attempts of her assailants. The pathway leading to the bottom of the ravine was bespatter- ed with blood, and the water In which she was standing wns red with 1t when she was found. The affair has caused much excitement, A lady riding In the vicinity about the time of the murder saw negro running across the road just at that time. and this, besides the finding of pistol near by, Is the only clew. The Kroglo family are industrious working people, and the victim was one of five sisters.
