NEW ORLEANS,

It is reported in theatrical circles that a hot argument took place the other dav between A. Palmer and Henry f. French. The former is an enthusiastic Blaine man, the latter a very loud talker for Mr. Cleveland. The argument was ended by Mr. Palmer producing a check-book and offering to wager $1,000 with Mr. French on the general result. Mr. French remarked that though Mr. Blaine's election was an absolute impossibility, he still did not feel sure enough about Cleveland's election to venture any money on the result.

A correspondent of the Globe-Dem-ocrat stepped into Kelly mission rooms, on Eighth streetl, to dav, and meeting James Kelly, tc\e business man of the firm, said: How is the betting on the election, Mr.

"C?ne thousand dollars to $800 in favor of Blaine on the Reneral result and no takers." said Mr. Kelly, and ft will probably be $1,000 to ^00 on Blaine before the week is out. Now, there are four red-hot Democratic betters sitting there they don want any

Information from Republican sources gives qpite 'a' different color to the affair it Loreanville yesterday, A A Blaine and Logan and Kellogg meeting was being held there, which, it is alleged, was broken up by armed Democrats, who fired upon the meeting. Eight men were killed and wounded. All Republican speakers were arrested by the local militia and placed in jail without authority of law. Intense excitement prevails.

La., November 2.—A

Times (Dem.) New Iberia Special says: Everything is quiet since the trouble yesterday. The prisoners tire still in jail, and will probably have a hearing to-morrow. Nearly all reports are different as to the number of killed and wounded. Coroner Manvalle came in late to-night, and says there are sixteen negroes dead and two white men. He has ordered a jury and will hold an inquest to-morrow.

BETTING ON THE RESULT.

The Odds Largely in Favor of Blaine for President. Special Dispatch to the Globe-Democrat.

NEW YORK, N. Y.,

October 31.—

As the day of election draws nearer it might naturally be supposed that the betting on the result would grow brisker. Curiously enough, however, the reverse is the case, at least among those with whom betting is something more than a pastime or a specious form of enthusiastic argument. Careful inquiry made to-day at the various hotels and up-town resorts of the betting fraternity in New York City elicited the information that an almost absolute cessation of wagering on the result of the election has taken place. To-mor-row, however, a renewal of active betting is expected to take place. Just before the active betting ceased the regular market odds quoted on any of the great races of the season were 100 to 80 on Blaine to carry the general election and 100 to80 on Cleveland to carry New York State. To-day these odds were somewhat reduced, but bets were placed after the same manner $100 to §90 on Blaine to carry the country and $100 to $90 on Cleveland to carry the state. Among outside speculators no such unanimity of opinion prevails. Bets are being offered on both sides on every conccivable phase of the result with an apparent reckless disregard of probabilities. Some individual betters have wagered much money in the aggregate, Sheridan Shook, the theatrical manager, for example, being quoted as having bet over $6,000 even and a further sum given odds, that Blaine will be elected. A well-known Republican, residing out of the city, after reading the exaggerated accounts of the Democratic parade of last Saturday, sent to a correspondent $7,500 to place as best he could on Cleveland to carry the state of New York, The correspondent was referred by a mutual friend to Mr. Shook. Last Friday, in Delmonico's, $4,000 was deposited with a well-known man about town, being the stakes in an even bet of $2,000 on the general result. "The betting here this year,' said a well.known frequenter of that restaurant, "does not compare with that of former presidential years. Such bets as have been made, and I hold the stakes i9r many, are of comparatively small amount, all of them in the hundreds, the general feeling being that this is not an election to trust much money upon either one way or the other."

that bet,

but we will give same odds that Cleve land carries New York state. "You are not willing to back your horse straight in the race, you only want to

Mr. Blaine on Rellclons Liberty. NEW YORK, N. Y.,

November 2.-Mr.

Blaine being fatigued from tie continuous labors of the week did not leave his room at the Fifth avenue Lotel to-day. Late in the evening a delegation of Catholics, headed by Pf.tnck Ford, called to extend congratulations upon the manner in which he had in 'liis New Haven speech

referred to

ministers in this city. In reply Mr. Blaine said: Religious liberty is the absolute law of our land. Freedom of conscience is the inalienable right of every American citizen, native or naturalized. Whoever violates that freedom strikes at the foundation of the republic. As a Protestant I demand for the Catholic previsely the same liberty of action, that I claim for myself. Perfect religions liberty is the highest attainment of our free constitution and that liberty implies mutual tolerance, respect for each others right* of conscience and a generous spirit of Christian charity.

ALBANY,

N. Y., November 2.—Gov.

Cleveland left New York city at 8:40 this a. m. and arrived in Albany at 12:15. He at once went to the executive mansion and spent the day there resting with his sist* rs, Mrs. Hoyt and Miss Kate Cleveland. The governor is in excellent health and spirits. He left for Buffalo at 10:30 to-night and will vote there early Tuesday morning and take the 9 a. m. train for Albany, arriving here at 5:40 p. m. He will receive the returns of election at execu-. tive mansion.

Calling for Aid.

COLUMBUS,

Hawkins, of Cincinnati, made a requisition on the governor for troops on election day. The governor replied that after he and the mayor of Cincinnati had exhausted their resources with deputies and special police .they could have the aid of the state militia.

The Times has not the honesty to state that the 863 days' service in one year charged by Sheriff Cleveland did not include the time of his deputies but that an additional charge was made for the deputies, covering precisely the same days and the same courts. Sheriff Cleveland took the court calendars, counted up all the

dayB

the courts were in session and charged his own attendance $3 a day for each court—making in all 863 days in one year! He charged also 180 per cent more than his predecessor for conveying prisoners. His emoluments from the office, by such means, were $17,500 more than those of his predecessor, exclusive of $4,471.50 which the countv refused to pay. That is the Cleveland-Thompson variety of reform.

Cleveland as a Reformer. New York Tribune. The statement that Governor Cleveland, •while sheriff of Erie county, charged for days in one year is one year is once more brought to our notice and an explanation asked for. This is about the flimsiest and most absurd of all the so-called "charges" so industriously trumped up. Every sheriff has under him a number of deputies, varying according to the amount of business pertaining to the office, and charges for their services are by law included in the bills rendered by the sheriff to the county.—fN. Y. Times (Dem.)

Mr. George William Curtis has answered these questions with such directness and cogency that we only need to quote his words:

During the war he (Mr. Hendricks) was a Copperhead. He left his church when its minister preached a loyal sermon, exhorting his people to sustain their government,

It was just at the time that Mr. Til-

den was engaged in publishing tracts to discredit and denounce Mr. Lincoln's conduct of the war. Mr. Hendricks xealously aided thiB work by addressing meetings, the calls of which summoned "all who are in favor of peace, all who desire to be free from the death grip of this wicked tyrannical and imbecile administration, its arbitrary and illegal arrests, and its draft and conscription laws, by which peaceable citizens are dragged from their homes and all the the endearments of domestic life, to butcher and be butchered, to come out and hear this advocate of peace and reunion." In February, 1863, at such a meeting, he denounced Mr. Lincoln for making an abolition war. It was the anti-elavery men who were guilty—"You may hear the prayers in our churches your sons may go out to the battlefield but our country is not to be. restored as it was until abolitionism is buried, never to be resurrected." "I am ready to compromise at any time. Iam ready to say to the people of the south—come in again and we will secure to you your constitutional rights, and,-if you desire them, additional guarantees. do not know whether the emancipation proclamation is going to be taken back or not I am going to vote to take it back the first opportunity I get. It was a wicked thing to have issued." These were Mr.

Hendrick'a views and WOKIB while his country was engaged in a mortal struggle with slavery and treason. Is there any good reason why he should be selected from forty millions of people to be the possible head of a Government which he did his best to destroy? Since the war he has been known only as a Democratic aspirant for the Presidency, apparently for the reasons that he lived in Western State and would be acceptable to oxrebels, Copperheads and inflationists.—[Harper's Weekly, Sept. 2, 1876.

BEECHER AND CLEVELAND.

Confession ot His Own Slo.

His Gath. I was thinking to-day over Beech er's speech in Jersey City, where he said that there was a majority of two hundred thousand adulterers among the voters of New York state that if all the men who had not broken the seventh commandment were to vote on one side, there would be two huudred thousand majority on the other. It occurred to me as a curious coincidence that when Nathaniel Hawthorne describes, in his story of "The Scarlet

Letter," a woman seduced by a clergyman, he makes the clergyman go at midnight on the pillory where the woman had stood, and still later at the crisis of the story he climbs on that, pillory in the middle of the town square, tears open his vestments, Bhows the bloody letter "A" tattooed upon his breast, and confesses his sin before the astonished crowd. The man whose wife he had seduced had resolved that the preacher should never confess, but should suffer inwaid torture. When he hears him make the confession in the pillory and sees the tattooed letter- on

breast cut with

his own nails, the husband cries: "There is no place in this world where thou conldst escape me, but there." So when Mr. Beecber chose the political stump

ently in extenuation of himself, for he now claims to be on that majority side. He is with the two hundred thousand majority. If that is not a confession it is as near to it as a fox will ever get.

They area very base and wicked set of men, or your recent speech in Brooklyn bristles with enormous libels.

Fitch, pastor First Congregational church the Rev. G. J. Jones, pastor Asbury Methodist Episcopal church, and the Rev. A. Bigelow, just now resting from pastoral labor. These men deliberately, and with an evident sense of the gravity of their words, state to the world over their own signatures: "The charges which you so confidently contradict rest not upon the declarations or finding of any one man, but upon the testimony of numerous witnesses, each of them having personal knowledge of the matter. This testimony has been received and sifted by gentlemen desirous of ascertaining the truth, and has been carefully taken down in writing. In important cases the witnesses have signed their

"Morey Letter," and now fill the land with libels against clergymen who have dared to explode the venomous vileness of the man who seeks coronation at the hands of American citizens while richly meriting their contempt. The ministers you and the leaders of the Democratic party- villify, have not lied, as you publicly assert, but have spoken words of truth and soberness.

The one sin, now confessed, was at first denied with the same energy and effrontery, more recent crimes are now denied. When that crime was no longer deniable, then and not till then it was confessed, but with a spirit of apology rather than repentence, and with a pretense that the culprit "had been elevated to a higher plane" and "had not done anything to disgrace himself for eight or ten years." But the clergyman you so cruelly libel know that Cleveland is now denying ersistent crimes by monstrous lies.

Tour "honest and honorable" candidate thus proves himself to be not only a "drunkard and libertine," but a hypocrite and liar.

If two perfectly trustworthy men should make a written statement before witnesses that Mr. Cleveland was a frequent visitor of a saloon near their residences in a village far from Buffalo, that he lodged in the small building in which the Baloon was kept, though there were tjvo respectable hotels near by that the saloon was kept by a German woman having two daughters of bad repute that he often became intoxicated while there that they had seen him give money to one of those girls under circumstances that indicated it was paid for no legitimate purpose that su visits extended through several years down to three years ago, and on inquiry it was found that the people in that neighborhood generally corroborated ihe evidence—what would yon conclude about his morality Do you suppose such men in such circumstances would make such statements if there was no basis for them? The clergymen you malign have just such a case, so well authenticated that they have no doubt it is correctly stated.

If three sober, capable and truthful men should assert in writing, before witnesses, that they had seen a woman with Cleveland in his room at short intervals,eating,drinking, dressed and undressed, niffhts and Sundays,for a period of five or six years, and well into

1884,

and on inspection it was found by several gentlemen to be perfectly easy to discern what they relate if the things related did occur and again, if a person entirely reliable, who had taken care of the rooms daily, should testify to having often seen the woman there and conversed with her, and, moreover, knew her antecedents and relations: and still further, if a man of good repute should testify that he had been accustomed to take meals and other refreshments at Cleveland's rooms, in the night and on Sundays, when his mistress was with him. and had seen them drinking and often the worse for liquor—would you conclude that your nominee for the presidency was "a pure, noble man?" The clergyman you malign have just such evidence as this of Cleveland's indecencies.

We know the name of that woman know where she lives know where she attended schools and where she taught in our city for a time know abont ber family, her parents and

There never was a man who has worked harder or more hours a day. Almost all my time has been spent the executive chamber, and I hardly think there have been twenty nights in the year, and nine months I have lived in Albany (unless I was out of town), that I have left my work earlier than midnight to find my bed in the mansion.

I am at a loss to know how it is,that such terribly* wicked and utterly baseless lies can be invented. The contemptible creatures who coin and pass these things appear to think that the affair which I have not denied makes me defenceless against any and all charges. As to my outward life, in Buffalo, the manifestation of confidence and attachment that was tendered me there by all the citizens must be proof that I have not lived a disgraceful life in that city. And as to my life in Albany, all statements that tend to show that it has, been other than laborious and perfectly correct are utterly and in every shape untrue. I do not wonder that your good husband is perplexed. I honestly think I desire his good opinion and any aid he is disposed to render me.

I don't want him to think any better of me than I deserve, nor to be deceived. Cannot I arrange to

CONTINUATION OF THE ARGUMENT.: Henry Ward Beecher's Speech ia Jersey City.

If every man in New York state tonight who has broken the seventh commandment voted for Cleveland, he would be elected by 200,000 majority. There are men in Brooklyn who will say, "I have been bumming with Cleveland at night." I say to every such man, "You were bumming on your own hook, and were so drunk that you couldn't see who was bumming with you."

HENDRICKS, j. 1 I- r.'f* *1-

Against the Union and Always In the Wrong. Cincinnati Commercial Gasette. 'H&MM

Mr. Hendricks is a mild-mannered Copperhead. He committed no overt act in the secession war to expose himself to danger. His secession speeches were finely gauged to the times, growing bolder upon disaster to the national armies, and milder with their successes. He gave the counsel, and upon it the.men who were as mild in manners and less careful of their persons, organized the dark-lantern bands and gathered arms for a rebel rising in Indiana. And the mild Mr. Hendricks, the able lawyer, furnished law to prove that these acts of war were all protected by the laws of peace

Fortunately for him the secret bands could not screw up their courage to the sticking point of rising, for in that case Mr. Hendricks might, have been forced to join them openly.

When the loyal people of Indiana think of that timeof the Nation's strng gle for life, and of the subterranean workings of treason in their state, and of the malignity of Mr. Hendricks toward the National cause, and of the aid and comfort which he gave to open treason in the front of our armies, and to secret treason and treachery in their rear, they must wonder that the times have so changed that Hendricks can be the nominee of a party for the vice presidency. What a tribute to the Indiana volunteers who fought, bled and died to 8ave the Nation! And when they look they Bee that the party con-

We anticipated no such hardship when we resolved privately to notify a few religious journals of his true character. Had our Christian brethren accepted our private assurances, a public exposure would never have occurred. You intimate that the Republican party prompted us to do what we have done. This is absolutely not the case. We have acted on our own convictions without suggestions, solicitations or encouragement from politicians. The moral enormity of having 011^ of the grossest of libertines for president of thisgreat nation stirred us to action,and the partisan blindness of good men has compelled us, step by step, to defend what we knew from the outset to be true. As honest men, as patriots, as friends and defenders of righteousness, as foes of vice and whatever degrades womanhood and endangers the

of Indiana, and that his

then supporters are his solid supporters now. If Mr. Hendricks could tell a single instance in his long public career in which he has not been positively and aggressively in the wrong, he ought to fetch it out in this campaign. Unless it be in his refusal to vote a man for the defense of the union, or a dollar to feed him, what position has he ever taken in a public question, that he does not now see to be clearly in the wrong? Has it been in the war finances, in the pnblic credit, in the questions of currency, in the National banks, in the tariff, in what? In every one of these affairs he has been a failure—not failure from the Republican standpoint merely, but a failure admitted by the successive positions of his party and of himself. What a recommendation for a candidate for the votes of the nation There is absolutely nothing in all of

Mr. Hendricks' public career in which he can run in the campaign save his record of unfaithfulness to countty.

HANGKD BYCLEVELAND'S OWN HAND.

Questions Folly Answered by Kxtracts from Buffalo Newspapers. New York Sun.

To ihe Editor of the Sun—SIR: Will you kindly answer the following questions? 1. Wm Grover Cleveland on one or more occasions performed the duties usually allotted to the hangman? It has been frequently and confidently stated that he did with his own hands execute one criminal at least, and that he was paid for so doing. I hear that this has been disproved. Is it so? 2. Did Graver Cleveland permit his own child to be sent to the poorhonse? And what provision h" he now made for the support and education of that child, if it is still alive?

By replying to these (to my mind) most important questions, yon will greatly oblige. A DISAPPOINTED INDEPENDENT. THE EXECUTION OF PATRICK MOREISSEV Buffalo Commercial Advertiser, Sept. 6, 1872.

At 11:57 the prisoner appeared, coming from the entrance of the prison. First came Sheriff Cleveland, then the prisoner, clothed in a black shroud, with the fatal noose about his neck, with the sheriff's deputies on either side then the priests, led by Father Malloy in his robes, and all chanting the death service.

At 12:08 Jlorrissey'a hands and feet wete pinioned by Officer Emerick, and at 12:09 the black cap was drawn over his eyes. At 12:10 thesignal was given, the sheriff pressed the lever, and the soulless bedy of the matricide hung dangling in the breeze that caused the canvas overhead to rise and fell like waves of a summer sea.

Buffalo Express, Sept. 7, 1872.

Sheriff Cleveland stood at the foot*of the gallows, with his right hand on the rod attached to the trap holt. Mr. Emerick gave the signal. The trap fell, and in an instant the body of Morrissey hung, lifeless and rigid, in the warm summer air.

Buffalo Courier, Sept. 6, 1872.

First came Sheriff Cleveland and Deputy Hurlburt, then Under Sheriff Smith and Jailer Harris then the Rev. Father Malloy and the condemned man.

the scaffold was reached the sheriff took his station at the lever handle. At precisely ten minutes past 12 the noose was tightened, in another eecond the signal was given to the Bheriff, the lever handle pressed, the bolt withdrawn, and the drop fell. 1HB EXECUTION OP JOHN GAFNEY. Buffalo Commercial Advertiser, Feb. 14,1873.

At fifteen minutes before 12 o'clock the attention of all.was turned toward the portal of the jail, whence issued Shenff Cleveland and the under sheriff with the prifcsts following, the latter accompanying the prisoner, who walked with steady step and mounted the stairs to the scaffold without flinching. About his neck was the fatal noose, the black cap was on his head, a black gown about his body, and a small Crucifix in his hand.

At two minutes to 12 o'clock the nignal was given by Officer Emerick from the scaffold, it was repeated by the officer standing in front of the sheriff—the latter pressed the lever and the trap dropped. His neck was broken, and he struggled very little. There was a slight twitching of the shoulders and bands, and this was all. Even after he dropped he continued to hold the small crucifix in his left hand.

After hanging twenty-three and a half minutes the physicians announced that the heart had ceased to beat, and he was pronounced dead. The sheriff then cleared the yard, the body was cut down and delivered to the undertaker. Buffalo Express, Feb. 15, 1878.

Under Sheriff Smith took position at the head of the stairs, and Sheriff' Cleveland assumed his position at the lever. At 2 minutes to 12 the signal was given, the lever moved, and the drop fell with a dull thud.

THE SHERIFF'S BILI.S.

The sheriff charged and was paid $650 for the execution of Patrick Morrissey and similar sum for the execution of John Gaffnev. The bills are on file in Buffalo.

GROVER CLEVEI.ASD'S SOX.

Buffalo Telegraph.

The mother and child were taken to the residence of Mrs. William Baker, on Genesee street, to board, and visited occasionally by Mr. Cleveland. The mother was wretched, and often desperate, and worried Mr. Cleveland by lier threats. He resolved to abate the annoyance, employed two detectives and a doctor of bad repute to. spirit the woman away and dispose of the child. She refused to surrender the child or go with the detectiveB. Then they seized her by force, and, in spite of her screams, and violent resistance, took her to a carriage and drove her to the Providence Asylum, on Main street, where she was committed aB insane. The child was taken to the Buffalo Orphan asylum.

HART A B. HALPIN'S AFTFLOAVLT.

The statement published in the Buffalo Telegraph in the main is true.

A Scandalous Alliance

New York Tribune.

No person has yet had the hardihood to deny that Grover Cleveland and Hubert O. Thompson are political partners and intimate friends. The New York Times denounced Thompson "as second only to Tweed." As a lame excuse for supporting his candidates for president and mayor, The Times now says that it knows of no favor Cleveland has done for Thompson. And yet when the governor approved what The Times designated as •the infamous aqueduct job," it charged him with "authorizing the big steal" in the interest of Thompson and the "corrupt politicians," adding that "they have received the aid and comfort which they sought from a compliant governor." It said further:

A recklessness absolutely criminal has been exhibited by the department of public works, in refusing to tike effective measures to stop the waste of water, in order that this huge aqueduct job might be promoted.

But the ^approval of that measure was only one of the many evidences of this political partnership. The most glaring was the veto of the tenure of office bilL That act was-intended to secure to the next mayor the power to appoint successors to Thompson and other officials whose terms expire this year. To save Thompson the governor vetoed tbis important reform measure on the alleged ground that its purpose was obscure, and that it made no provision for the appointment of other than the immediate successors to those officials now in office. As section 106 of the city consolidation act of 1882 made full provision for filling all such vacancies, the governor's reasons were manifestly absurd. But they were

given jnst before the Democratic State convention, when the governor's approval of the bill would have lost him Thompson's support, and consequently his nomination for the presidency. For similar reasons the governor took no action on the charges against Sheriff Davidson until affr they had been in hands six months, and when it would be too late to reach a decision before the election. Nearly one monta of that time he spent on a vacation in the North Woods.

The governor in all his acts and ap pointments has protected Thompson. An indisputable evidence of this scan dalou8 alliance was the governor's approval of "Mike" Murphy's bill to reimburse Thompson from the public treasury for all the "coats, counsel fees and expenses paid or incurred" by him "in any proceeding to remove him from office or for the pioper presentation and justification of his official conduct before any body or tribunal lawfully investigating the same-" In approving this outrageous measure the governor compelled the city the city to pay for the three lawyere Thompson employed to impede the legislative investigation into his conduct in 1882. As if to make the alliance more marked, he actually vetoed the small appropriation to pay the one lawyer employed at that time to aid the senate committee. In doing so the governor gave tbis ridiculous reason:

No reason exists why the people of the state should be called upon to pay the expenses of investigating a local department of the city of New York.

The counsel for the state was not paid, therefore, but the taxpayers were compelled to pay for Hubert O.

Thomp

son's three lawyers and all other of his expenses, without any provision being made for auditing them. Still worse. Judge Westbrook, who was under official investigation and was acquitted of wrong doing, secured an appropriation of S2.300 to pay for his counsel. The governor vetoed it, saying:

This committee was merely to investigate the conduct of Justice Westbrook and report It was an inquiry set on foot by the assembly for its own information. It was entirely competent and not improper for the committee, if it so desired, to conduct its inquiry in secret and with closed doors. There is no pretense that his counsel appeared there otherwise than at the request and upon the retainer of a private client (and upon the sufferance of the committee.

Hence, the governor refused to permit Judge Westbrook to be reimbursed for his payment of counsel, though the committee had the power to make a repoit in favor of his impeachment. The committee which investigated Thompson under exactly similar circumstances, was without the power to even recommend impeachment. But Thompson was permitted three lawyers at public expense, with an allowance for incidentals, while the counsel for the state was refused payment, and also the counsel for Judge Westbrook! Dare any man say tbat these facts do not prove a scandalous alliance between Thompson and Cleveland at' the expense of honesty and decency.

Home of the most fascinating women in the world's history, as well as men, have been exceptionally ugly. To en conraee the plain sisterhood a kindhearted Frenchman recalls the fact that the Duchess ot Burgundy, who divided with Mme. de Msintenon the old age of Louis Quatorze, had a frightful neck and decayed teeth. Marguerite de Valois had heavy cheeks, like a monkey, two prominent eyes, and thick, hanging under lip the DucheBS de Berri, mother of the Comte de Cbambord, who drove the Britons wild, has a trumpet-shaped nose and the complexion of a bilius blonde.

Lont I.ooked-for Appearance as Juliet. London Cable Special.

The long-awaited revival of Romeo and Juliet, with Mr. Terries and Miss Mary Anderson in the title roles, began to-night at the Lyceum theater. The revival was an artistic surprise and delight. The mine en scene was historically accurate, with no straining after effect, and of course it could not fail to be picturesque. The faction fight between the Montagues and .Capulets, in the first act, was as wonderful a realization of a street battle in old Verona as ever was displayed on the stage. The entrance of the heroine in this act was the signal for a tremendous burst of enthusiasm. Mary Anderson was never seen to such advantage in London before. She worea dress of pale blue Indian silk, delicately figured with silver. The dress was woven all in one piece, and was just sufficiently tight-fitting to show to trr6at advantage the fine lines of the actress' classic figure. It had a border of seed pearls and a band of the same ornaments over the hips, while from her

a mask at the end of a string of beads. She wore no jewels, and was content to dispense with the oidinary Juliet wig. Her own hair waB worn flowing over her shoulder?, and surmounted by a tiny skull cap of the same material as the drees. Miss Anderson's second costume consisted of a bodice and skirt of heavy apricot satin, with a semi-train all embroidered with seed pearls and silver. As in the first act, she wore no jewels, but this time her hair was adorned with violets and primroses. In the action of the piece there are many innovations and de•artures from London stage traditions. had been intended to have a gorgeous funeral pageant in the fifth fcet, jut this feature was abandoned at the last moment, as it was found that the audience would be delayed fully an hour, and both Mr. Abbey and Miss Anderson declared tbat the success of the first night must not be jeopardized bv any experiment. The houae was crowded. The audience included scores of critics and hundreds of notabilities in social and official life. The American embassy was well reprerented by Minister Lowell and Secretaries Hoppin and White. There were also many other Americans present. The applause throughout the evening was liberal and appreciative. The balcony scene evoked tremendous enthusiasm. The full depth of the stage was used and the setting was superb. The stage business, both of Mr. Terriss and of Miss Anderson, seemed the rerfection of art, and there was frequent ripples of applause, which culminated in a roar of approval when the climax was reached. The lovers were twice called before the curtain after the act. The potion scene was a revelation to the audience of Miss Anderson's tragic power. Her portrayal of the mingled pathos and passion of that awful situation aroused the enthusiasm of the audience to the highest pitch. At the end of the play Miss Anderson was called for with a degree of fervor that admitted of no refusal. Sbe was led before the curtain

Mr. Terries, who had looked and aved Romeo splendidly. The applause at their appearance was tumultuous, and so prolonged that Miss. Anderson retired in tears andblushel, and the orchestra had to play "Home Sweet Home" to the full strength of their instruments to get the peopie out of the house. The general opinion is that Miss Anderson's Juliet a scholarly and artistic study. She introduced much new business, but it has all been conscientiously considered and appears warranted by the tuxt. She seems to rely chiefly upon facial expression for the portrayal of passion or love. She took some liberties with the text as it appears in modern editions, and she seemed somewhat fagged toward the end of the last act. The Merifctio of the play was very poor, and was loudly hissed in the second act.

The Modern Society Reporter. New York Letter to Buffalo Express. Writing of pretentiously fashionable^? society lemindp me to tell that marked change has come over the^C newspaper reporting of small social^ news in this city. It may be safely A-, assumed tbat no man or woman fig-11' uring in what is commonly described'*as "exclusive circles" is averse to seeing his name and doings decorously^ published, but the fact does not render the accomplishment easy. Usage demands that he or she shall profess the utmost repugnance to such publicity _• and refuse to give the information. Reporters do not, as a rule, dodge the duty of prying into crimes or peeping through keyholes into politics, but thev do not endure the insincere fioutings of society with equanimity, and the mission which most of them will utterly refuse to accept is to present himself as an invited guest in a private gathering. The Jenkins of v* yore, who was willing to sneak into a house through the kitchen entrance and take his information from' the steward, has disappeared from metropolitan journalism. Nevertheless, each of our dailies has only-all th account desirable of society events, bit in addition a weekly column of th« most intimate and accurate gossip. How is this matter obtained By eraploying amateurs who are personally concerned in matters they write about. I may state a single instance in evidence. The "society" department in an evening paper has for several years« been written by Maurice Minton, a nephew of Mrs. Wm. B. Aator.

Oasoli do not explain the impres eions made by her upon her distin guished friends, and even transmitted to the new generation ot Americans, which knows her only through her friends. It is doubtful if, any other literatnre women has had so many tributes to her intellect and character from men and women of eminence, for the Ossoli literatnre includes such writers as Emerson, Landor, Nathaniel Hawthorne and Horace Greeley.

scientious and masculine, and at the same time possessed of a subtile feminine insight there is little doubt tbat she did much to raise higher the literary standard in America, and it is probable that the veneration of tlit ablest writers in America for her is mainly due to this fact. It is, however, a phenomenon which even Mr.

and English way of making love: I never much admired the way in which declarations of love are made in Frfence. With us the foolish animal has to go on his knees at a woman's feet. With her eyes modestly drooped on us, this little demon of observation makes an inventory of our smallest defects—of our hair, growing sparser of onr languishing eyes, turning up and Bhowing whites, of a little wart, which we thought concealed. 1 put it squarely that in this little scene it seems to me we have to play a supremely ridiculous part. If any one of my readers is not of this opinion, let him put this question to imself "Should I ever think of b«ing photographed in the attitude au ?e described?' 1 await his answer. They manage these things dif- .„g* ferently in England. You sit down comfortably, very much at your 4* ease. You hav6 the adored object of jtp

yeur dreams at your side or at your feet, and yon can murmur your sweet whispers of love into her ear without ever dislocating your vertebral column. You may even smoke your cigar without any fear of giving offense, all the time you tell your love and build your castles in Spam.
