Lieutenant Governor Dunn-His Danger.


Gus Illness.


The community was startled Yesterday
afternoon by the report that Lieutenant
Governor Dunn was SO seriously i'll with an
attack of pneumonia that it was doubtful
whether he could recover As hour after
hour passed the situation became more dis
couraging, and the last reports were that
the attending physicians declared that his
recovery was impossible, and it was not
probable that he could survive the night.


At halfpast one o'clock this morning we
hear Of no change for the better in the con-
dition Of the distinguished patient


At two o'clock this morning one of the
attending physicians expressed the opinion
that Governor Dunn might survive four or
six hours, and might possibly live till noon,
but that there were no hopes whatever of
his recovery.


Large numbers of his friends called at
the residence of the Lieutenant Governor
during the day and night.


Governor Dunn was taken sick Sunday
evening, and gradually became worse.
When our last information was obtained
the patient was unconscious, and had been
so for several hours. His respiration was

Mr.. Delabranche, the first tenor. achieved
another triumph last night as Mamrique.
He was in excellent voice, and sang splen.

storm, singing high &c" with great power
and confidence. He was enthusiastically
encored. and repeated the whole passage
with thrilling effect, amid a thunder of ap-
plause.


Dumestre, as Count de Lama, sang with
success, though he was slightly hoarse, and
was repeatedly called before the curtain to
receive the compliments of his host Of
friends.


Lev'elli, as Leonore, fully sustainedI the
reputation she made last week in the
"Huguenots' as an artistic of the first
grade. Her voice is remarkably fine and
sympathetic. combined with great dramatic
power. She dressed the character with
much more care and richness than was
shown in that of Valentine in the "Hugue-
nots,' and appeared consequently to much
better advantage.


Miss Goethals, as Asucena, made a very
favorable impression. When it is consid-
cred that she is Just from the conservatory,
and has never before appeared in opera, it
must he admitted she did well. Her voice
is fresh and of good quality; is round and
full, though not of extraordinary power.
She received liberal share of the applause,
and will, We doubt not, prove herself equal
to the position after becoming more familiar
with stage business. Her acting was some
what constrained. owing to the newness of
the situation, but we think we could dis
cover considerable dra matte talent through
it all, and We shall look to see her con-

Some scraps Of letters of James How
ell, toady courtier, who helped to ar
range a match between Prince Charles
of England and the Infanta of Spain,
are full of interest. The gossipping old
fellow says:


There are comedians once a week come
to the palace, where under a great can
opy the Queen and the Infanta sit in the
middle, our Prince and Don Carlos on
the Queens right hand, the King and the
little cardinal ON the 'lnfanta's left hand.
| have seen the Prince have his eyes
immovably fixed on the Infanta half an
hour together in a thoughtful, speculative
posture, which sure would needs be te-
dious, unless affection did swecten it; it
was no handsome comparison of Oil

understanding that the Infanta was used
to 90 some mornings to the Casa de
Campo, a summer-house the King hath

maydew, he did rise betimes and went
thither, taking your brother with him.
They were let into the house and into the
garden, but the lnfanta was in the or
chard; and, there being high partition
wall between, and the door being doubly
bolted, the Prince got on the top of the
wall and sprung a great hight, and so
made toward her; but she spying him

back. The old Marquis that was then

and fell on his knees, conjuring his high

in queue, so as to be among the first
served in the morning, and, determined
to verify the fact, / accompanied Colonel
Stuart Wortley at midnight to the local
ity in question. Passing through the
streets, still dark and silent in Paris at
this hour, we reached the Bourse, and
already the hum, one might almost say
the subdued roar, Of thousands of voices
struck the ear. In moment we came
upon the outskirts Of what was appa-
rently a mighty crowd, though it was too
dark to see much until we found our
selves actually in the midst Of a dense
mass of women and children, heaped
upon one another in amicable confusion,
and extending down the street as far as
the eye could penetrate its gloom. Not
that It was altogether dark, for numbers

Nothing amuses me more than TO see
people trying" to read books in which
they take not the slightest interest
Perhaps some friend has liked the book,
or it is the fashion to read it, or one

from any other equally foolish reason
for a yawning persistence in trying
used to do so once, but I've got bravely
over any amount of eyebrow elevation

that saw nothing in such and such a
book, or that it was not one of my books,
or that it was too finely spun for my al
ready bewildered head, or that | felt no
interest in the subject treated of, and
probably never should.


Why, / would like to know, should
people try" to read books that they
don't like any more than to eat certain
kinds of food, which, though good for
others, are to them unpalatable? And
why should they not, if pressed to par
take, say as frankly in one case as in
the other, / didn't relish it, or it is too
light or too heavy for my mental
stomach2 Nor do | see why people
should feel either afraid or ashamed, as
they seem TO do, TO differ from others
with regard to a popular author, or a
very much admired picture or statue; or
even TO say, with regard TO these last, |
am really no judge of these things in
the way Of art. | can only say that
some have a story to tell me, and some
of them are to me dumb and silent In
the latter case it may be my fault; and
though it be rank heresy to say so, it
may just possibly be the artists; but
meantime, l cant force liking at the
bidding Of any cOnRoisseur, selfelected
or the contrary.

Always check your baggage before
starting; but if you lose your check af-
terwards you might as well have saved
yourself the trouble.


If you have some solid hand-baggage
with you, be careful and place it in the
rack securely. A passenger neglected
to do this, and it fell with great force on
the head of his mother.in-law, with whom
he had some trouble.


Always buy your ticket from an au-
thorized agent before getting on the car;
but if you have to pay the conductor for
your passage, do not stop to tell him all
the reasons why you are travelling. lie

may be sympathizing man.

motion with your hat ONT might be
blown off; and never look out of the
window with your hat on in the dark, be-
bause your head might run against the
parapet of n bridge, or a water-crane, etc.


Do not always be wanting to compare
your time with the conductor and
asking him how much you are slow;
neither ask him frequently if he is on
time, or, if he is not, when he expects to
be. A conductor is nos an angel.
Always be considerate to your fellow
passenger; and if you are travelling with
the tailor whom you owe for your last
new suit of clothes, do not let him sit in
the draft of the window.


Some people say that in the event Of
an accident it is best TO sit in the rear
car--and others would prefer the center
car--and others would like to sit well
forward. Such is the difference of opin-
ion. But if you were to ask me which |
wonld choose, should say let me sit in
my armchair at home.


Do not 90 from one car to another
while the train is in motion, unless your
life is insured; but even if it is, it is not
right to risk nipping yourself in the bud.


The rule of most lines is not to allow
passengers to stand on the platform.
Some evade it by sitting down; but of
the two, as man and father, would
rather be inside the car.


1t costs railroad company as much
to sweep out the leavings of some as
they pay for their tickets. If you must
eat peanuts and apples, put the shells
and parings in your hat, or else throw
them out of the window, but mind you

train suddenly stopped for you to be
heard saying: "No, sir, by the Eternal,
I'll shoot him first and get divorce af-
terwards.


If you are suffering from an attack of
ague, and have the shakes badly, and
are very chilly, put as much wood in
the stove as you Ike, and do not bother
yourself about the man next to you, who
has, perhaps, got the typhoid fever.


To newly-married couples | would say,
do not be deferred from the sweet inter-
change of tender glances and tokens of
affection by the offensive notice of other
passengers. Frail and fleeting are the
joys 7of loves young dream" Besides,
you will awaken the agreeable memories
Of crabby couples who were married
some time ago.


If you are a parent and have your
children with you, and one that is too old
to travel free, you can lay her across
your knee and feed her with pap when
the conductor comes along. He will

Lord Brougham tells a ghost story
with touch of the ludicrous:


"On all such subjects my father was
very skeptical. He was fond Of telling
story in which he had been an actor,
and, as he used to say, in which his un-
believing obstinacy had been the means
of demolishing what would have made n
very pretty ghost story. BE had been
dining in Deans Yard, Westminster,
with party of young men, one of whom
was his intimate friend Mr.. Calmel.
There was some talk about the death of
Mrs. Nightingale, who had recently
died under some melancholy circum-
stances, and had been buried in the Abb
bey. Some one offered to bet that no

the grave and drive nail into the coi-
fin. Calmel accepted the wager, only
stipulating that he might have lantern.
He was accordingly led into the cathe-
dral by u door out of the cloisters, and
there left to himself. The dinner-party,
after waiting an hour or more for Cal
mel, began to think something must
haye happened to him, and that
he Fought to be looked after; so
my father and two or three more
got light and went to the
grave, at the bottom of which lay the
apparently dead body Of Mr.. Calmel.
He was quickly transported to the pre-
bends diningroom, and recovered out
of his fainting fit. AS soon as he could
find his tongue, he said Well, have
won my wager, and you'll find the nail
in the coffin; but, by Jovel the lady rose
up, laid hold of me, and pulled me down
before could scramble out of the grave.
Calmel stuck 10 his story, in spite Of all
the scoffing Of his friends; and the ghost
of Mrs. Nightingale would have been all
over the town but for my father obstin-
ate incredibly. Nothing would satisfy
him but an ocular inspection Of the
grave and coffin; and so, getting light,
he and some of the party returned to
the grave. There, sure enough, was the
nail, well driven into the coffin; but
