Cyclones, floods and Bourbon Democrats, are the prevailing evils of the South.' Hon. Stanton J. Feelle will be at home about June 1st, to look after his political fences. A postal, card threatening President Arthur was received at the New York post office Monday last. - Xew indictments have been found against the Star Route men, and the trial thereon began this week. r The Chicago Conservator goea for Speaker Thomas, of the Illinois Legislature, and other Republicans of that State, with considerable vim. James Goudon Bennett, it is said, has presented Mrs. DeLong, wife of Lieutenant DeLong, who lost his life in the recent arctic expedition $25,000. We are under renewed obligations to Hon. Stanton J. Peelle for a veryvaluable report of the Smithsonian Institution, and other public documents. An aged colored woman is suing in the New York courtsto establish her claim ownership to the ground upon which Gen. Grant's residence in East 66th St. is built. Colonel Holloway is now sole proprietor of the Times, having bought out all other interested parties. This will no doubt stop the talk about the consolidation of the Journal and Times. The national convention of the colored newspaper association is called for June 27th; in Washington, D. C. Quite a long list of exercises has been prepared by the committee for tha purpose. The program will appear in our next issue. . A colored man wad appointed on the carrier force of the Toronto, Canada, Post Office. Some of the white carriers refused to work with the colored man and the appointment was revoked. This is not in accordance with British justice. Mrs. Tiiompkins, an aunt of Gen. Grant, died at her home in West Virginia, last Saturday. She had a son who fought through the war on the confederate side, but who afterwards became a Republican, and was one of the "306," at Chicago. The fact is slowly, but surely, dawning upon the Democracy that their victory in the Spring will not be repeated in the Fall. If the Republicans place a good ticket in the field, and have men to manage the campaign who are competent, the party will pull through and have several hundred votes to spare. Democrats are zealously laboring to make the contest iu this State a square out and out temperance and anti-temperance struggle. The legislative proposition is to take the sense of the peoaa to whether the temperance amendment shall be Submitted, and not as to whether they shall be adopted, which is a distinction of consideraMe difference. It is reported that an od well of remarkable capacity has been discovered in western Pensyl van ia. It is said to produce one thousand barrels a day, which causes much consternation among speculators in the slippery fluid. In the graphic language of an eminent statesman, it knocks their hopes of gain hisher'n a kite, a town called Garfield has been laid out near this fabulous find, and lots sell at twenty dollars a square foot already. Ilayti. Hayti is again in a disturbed condition. An unsuccessful revolt against the authority of President Saloman has just been suppressed, and many lives have been sacrificed of those engaged in the rebellion. The laws of the country forbid the employment of the death penalty for political offenses, and the frightful disregard of this law, which has followed the defeat ol the revolutionists, causes much strong fcelin ajrainst the government in all parts of the island. It appears that Möns. Boyier, in exile at Kingston, Jamaica, is the head of the party engaged in the rebellion. He and his friends have kept a continual pamphlet war against the govern
ment for some time, and the effort at revolution is the result. Boyier is a man of means, and is, following the usual custom of ; exiled French and Hayticn chieftains undermining by
secret means the authority of his successful rival. Unless Saloman is made of superior stuff to all of his predecessors, it is only a question of time when he will have to go. Tiie Haytians are simply reenacting in the favorite isle of Columbia's archipelago, the old game of medieval European politics. England, France, and in fact every country of Europe has gone through the same period of barbaric struggle between the ins and outs, except that their pretenders were generally of the same family, frequently brothers struggling to cut each other's throats. Mexico and the South American countries are not yet out of the anarchial condition. Time and education will bring Hayti and then to a re alizing sense of the destructive folly of such struggles, and then stability in government and institutions may begin to take root and grow. .

A lawyer in Bangor, Me., has brought suit for 15,900 damages agaUkt the publisher of a history of Penobscott County, which repotted him as dead and gare him a complimentary obltuary sketch. Mrs Charles Turner, a widow, of Liverpool, has given $200,000 for the erection of a home for incurables in that city, and will make anangements, In the shape cl endowment, for the maintenance of the institution. The death of the wife of District Attorney Corkhill, of Washington, was very unexpected. She was apparently convalescent alter her lonz illness unUl th9 middle of last week. Her relapse was not serious until last Friday. "Don had many advantages," said old Simon Cameron, talcing of bis kd the other day, "but I had one lht is worth more to any man starting In life than all he ever had." "What is that, Geperal?" "The advantage of starting poor." Speaking of Lafayette, and old Boston lau says: "I can recollect h:m perfectly well to-day. He was a agood average-sized man. and very upright In appearance, but the particular thing I remember noticing was the size of his ears. They were very large Richard King, known all over Texas and the West as "The Cattle King," Is a small, swarthy Iribhman. His flocks ol sheeD and goats, bis herds of cattle and his troops of horses and mules are estimated at 500,000 head in all. His ranche, the Santa Gertrndas, Is seventy-five miles In length, and Includes nearly the whole of two Counties in Soa In western Texas. A sad young man, after taking a meal at a New York coffee house, after much searching In his pocket, produced a f 2 greenback from his watck fob, and with a sigh said: "Here she goes." After his departure the note was examined, and on the back appeared, written In a fine band, "Save your salary; don't gcmble; never plaxtaro-bark. The last of a fortune of tlO.000." Bishop Greex, ot Mississippi, . who has been presiding over a council of the Episcopal Church at Vicksburg, is eighty-four years old, and has been a oreacher for sixty-two Tears. II. is now, and has been for thirteen years past, the Chancellor of the University of the South, and is the fo e survivor of the ten Southern bishops who founded that Institution in I860. His mental faculties are still remarkably vigorous for one of his ate. Congressman Crapo's surname had, It is said, the following origin: In early Puritan times a French bark was wrecked on the Cape Cod coast, and all on board were lost, save one little boy. Him the sturdy colonists rescued, and dubbed, because of bis red hair and French origin, Rufus Crapaud. And from that little waif the preseut member for the First Massachusetts District is in the seventh generation of direct descent. Samuel Rodman, of South Kingstown. R. I., died recently at the age of eighty-two, leaving nine children, twenty six grand-children and six great-grand -children. He was a descendant ol Thomas Rodman, of England, an Episcopal clergyman who emigrated to Rhode Island in 1738. To him was granted 1,000 acres of land in Karragacsett On it he built a homestead, which is still standing in a good state of preservation. The Louisville Courier-Journal thus speaks of three famous Tenneseeans, who are now dead: "There was a time when 'Parson Brownlow, 'Adny' Johnson and Horace Maynard were the three great men ot Tennessee, and, though differing in every other characteristic, they were much alike in swaying the people by their blast honesty. The three were perfectly fearless In that they clang to their opinions and principles Irrespective of the popular regard." President Eliot, of Harvard, has that last best gift of man tact. At one time his students developed an unpleasant liking for Fitting upon the College fence. The President was at a loss how best to break up the practice. At last, one evening, as the student were sitting on the fence singing, etc., the President said: "Gentlemen, allow me to congratulate you upon having adopted the Yale custom." He was never troubled afterward by students sitting en the fence. Professor J. D. Whitney, of Ilarvard College, has suffered a distressing affliction In the death of bis wife and daughter within two days. Mrs. Whitney, who was a daughter of the late Samuel Goddard, of Brookliae, Mass., died at Cambridge on Saturday, and on the next day news was received of the death of his daughter and only child, Eleanor Goddard, wife of Thoman Allen, at Ecouen, France. Mrs. Allen was married lu Northampton hardly two years ago. The will of the late John T. PenUand, a wealthy California pioneer, contains the foUowing: "I wLsh It understood that I am in my clear, level headed sense, and know Just what I am about, and I don't want any one-horse lawyer business fooling about me." Speaking of his half-brothers and sisters he says: "There was a chasm during life; let it be eveu wider in death. This deathbed repentance and pardoning of old wrongs is all la your eye and worse than hypocrisy. I don't want any minister or preacher tf any kind at my funeral. The Masons shall do the entire work. Gospel tharps and I sever flocked together muchly." The privilege of announcing one's own death and Issuing invitations to one's own funeral is something not generally accorded to mortals here below. Miss Abbie Taylor, of Newport, R. I., was la these respects an exception. She was told only a few hours before her demise that her malady was incurable. Calling for pen, ink and paper, she with her own hand wrote a list of the names of those persons whom she desired to be made aware of her death, and by whom she wished to bo followed to her grave, and then expired in the peaceful consciousness that loving hands would perform for her the last sad rites of earth. The reputation of Illinolsana for hard drinking appears to be spreading. The House of Representatives "burst Into a roar of laughter" when Mr. Cox, pointing bis firmer at Mr. Townshend. ot Illinois, said: "Whoever drinks the whisky pays the tax, and the gentleman from Illinois knows it!"
WASHINGTON LETTER.
Two New York Causes Celebre New Bills by Congressman Lynch -Liilierian Troubles The London Garlielcl HomeCivil ltights Violations Canadian Greenhorns Smalls in Boston Pictures, T heir Use and Abuse Congressional, Miscellaneous and Personal Mention. Wasiinoton, D. C, May 19th New York has recently had two causes celebre affecting her colored population, or rather some of it. Augustus D. Leighton, who murdered his mistress, Mary Dean, paid the forfeit by being hauged until dead last Friday. Extraordinary efforts were made by his counsel, among whom wa3 Mr. Quarles, late of the Globe, to save him, but without avail. Iu the last proceed ings in court, a few days before the hanging, a young white woman is said to have appeared in court and mani fested much interest in the efforts of Leighton's counsel to secure a new trial. I lie newspaper reporters sav that she and the Dean woman had been rivals as to which should be Leighton's darlinc; and she thus manifested - her approval of his slaughtering Mar)1 JJeau by comforting him with her ap pearance in court, bhe was young and handsome but was doomed to drink from the bitter cup of disappointment, if she hoped to see her lover saved from the scafiold. Another New York sensation, is the appearance in court of a white woman, a Jewess, who claims to be the lawful widow of John D. Lewis, a t olored man worth a half million dollars, who was killed by being thrown from his buggy in Central 1 ark five or six years ago. It seems that the woman Mas married to Lewis, but her father induced her to secure a divorce from him because of his color. She now claims that the divorce "was illegal. Lewis was a mu latto, hut had a brother and sister of full Negro blood, between whom his estate was divided after his death. The woman's claim will cause much litigation. There is a pointer or two in this case for colored men who would like to have white wives. One is to get rich and buv up the woman, for it is admitted that love or at least that which passes for such is purchasable. Another is to get one who is an orphan with no in fluential relatives to work up a lx)om against you on the score of your beinir somewhat off in color. It would not be an entirely bad idea for a man who was irredeemably h 1 bent on having a white "oman" for a wif e, to station himself at Castle Garden, and thus get the pick of the numerous stravs who daily land there from cmierant ships. Tis true he might get an Irish girl who would be a democrat, but he would doubtless be able to assimilate her. Irish democ racy Dciore landing in this country, is more of the genuine Jeflersonian article than we now have in this country, and by picking up a Biddy immediately af ter she lands, a judicious woman tamer could break her into Kepublican harness with less than half the difficulty he would experience in accustoming the average American Caucasian girl to be come happy and content under colored radical restraint. Congressman Lynch, of Mississippi, the only representative in a race sense of the seven million colored people of the country in Congress, occupies a not very conspicuous seat on the Democratic side of the House, and is a very busy member in the discharge of his congressional duties. He has recently introduced two important bills, one of which provides for payment in full by the government of all the losses incurred by depositors in the failure of the Freedmau's Bank. This is a very just measure and should receive the sanction of Congress and the President. A large majority of the ignorant people who deposited their money in this institution, did so under the lxdief that they were putting it in the hands of the government, and had not the least idea of the possibility of its failure. The bank grew out of the Freedmau's Bureau, a government institution, and many of whose- officers were officers in the bank. Many of the sharpers who stole the bank s money were either officers of or connected with the Bureau in some manner. The government is morally, if not legally, bound for these losses, and should mate them good without hesitation or quibble. h 4 The other important bill introduced by Mr. Lynch is an amendment to the United States election laws, giving the supervisers more extended powers, among them the right to arrest any offenders against the law, and to conduct elections when the State authorities refuse to do so. Liberia has the usual national white elephant in the shape of a hostile population that bothers so many other civilized countries. Some of her native tribes aTe very powerful and give only a semi-adhesion to Liberian authority; Commander McGVmick, of the U. S. Steamer Essex, recently reported to the Secretary of Navy, that he had assisted in quelling certain disturbances between the government at Monrovia and some of the natives. It seems the assistance wag given at the request of the Liberian government which fact would seem to indicate that the authority of that government is not over abundantly potent among its own nominal subjects. "The Garfield Home" for women and girls was recently opened in London, England. Minister Lowell made a speech at the dedication, and stated that he gave 200 to the institution. The people of England were almost equally pained and shocked by the murder of President Garfield as our own iKJople, and it is gratifying to know .1... i . i that tnev nave expressed it in sucn tangible shape as they have. The sympathy in thought and feeling that has sprung up between this and the Fatherland, as our German fellow-citizens are wont to speak of their native home in their beery moments, is quite unique, indeed. It bodes a better and brighter
future for the world's destiny than if we were to continue the dagger's point style that ensued for so long after the
Kevolutionary animosities should have been forgotten. It is better for the planet that brothers ot the proportion of Uncle Sam and John Bull should dwell together in peace and harmony not. however, that p. and h. which ensues between a lamb and a lion when the latter lies'' down outside of the for mer, but that feeling of brotherly love and confidence which subsisted between Damon and Pythias. A steamboat steward on the Hudson recently refused to entertain Bishop Moore, of the A. M. E. Zion Church, in the dining room of his craft, and thereby greatly aroused the indignation of the conference of that church in session at Bough keepsie, a3 well as of other decent people. He was thoroughly denounced in a set of resolutions, and next day the owner of the boat appeared before the conference, and apologizing, said the steward acted without his orders, and asserted that nothing of the kind should occur again. But the querest thing in the .way of race or color prejudice comes from loronto. Canada, where fiftv letter carriers refused to work because a colored man was appointed on the force. It would seem from this that the Canucks have Negrophobia in a more hopelessly violent torm than it exists auy where in the States. Just imagine a force of letter carriers in any of our cities resigning because a colored man had been added to the force. It would not occur anywhere here now under either party. The Canuckers are imitating our old style, and as usual with imitators, they are behind the times. In thus adopting American cast off clothing, they thoroughly demonstrate the fact that they are a narrow, provincial people, incapable of anything above the grade of second-hand ideas. Time was when Canada was the Land of Canaan for the Negro. That was when in his native laud he was outlawed; but now that he is a citizen and equal at home, Canada, if this incident may lie taken as indication of the temper of her people, assumes an unfriendly position towards him. However, I suppose this Toronto caper may be set down to the innate greenness of the people, out of which they will gradually grow as they become stronger in national sense and progressivem. lion. Koliert Smalls, of South Carolina, who is contesting a seat in Congress, recently visited Boston, and when he reached that great intellectual hub he was denied the privilege of taking his beans and pork at the Revere House, arrangements for which had been made in advance of his arrival. Quite a rumpus was raised about the anair, but the llevere House proprietor said it was on account of making repairs in the rooms, instead of the color of Mr. Smalls, which is a cross between a mulatto and a black. He was entertained at another first-class hotel, ' and was treated with distinguished consideration by the lcst ladies and gentlemen of Boston's cultured classes. 'Pictures and shapes are but secondary objects," says Bacon; yet they have their uses and abuses, as thoughtful observers have often remarked. A picture of a departed relative or friend is a souvenir highly prized by everybody, and a photo or cabinet of one's sweetheart, if such characters still exist in amatorial love, is not to be sneezed at. But to see the gallery show windows filled with the pictures of every notorious crank and criminal in the land, together with all his or her known relatives, as is the case in the Washington galleries, it is slightly verging on the disgusting. Guiteau and all of his relatives; Jesse James, family and gang; Howgate and Nellie Burrell, his mistress, are fair samples. It is well enough to have these pictures in the rogue's gallery and police newspapers, but why there should be a demand for them in fashionable galleries, is somewhat strange, unless everybody here keeps a rogues gallery. Two celebrated newspaper bores; the McGarrahan claim and the Morey letter, one of very ancient and the other of modern origin, have recently received their annual boom here. I have always heard of the McGarahan claim, and so I suppose has everybody else. It is a claim to certain Nevada mining lands based on an old Spanish or Mexican grant, and involves property worth eighty million dollars. McGarrahan is the chief of the claimants and lobby who are backing the scheme, and recently obtained a favorable report from a Congressional committee; but the thing to do is to get it through Congress, which has never yet been done. The mines are now operated by the owners in possession, wTho thus have the ever potent advantage of the ins against the outs. It is to be hoped that the matter may be settled in some manner immediately, or that everybody distantly or remotely connected with the claim on either side may die, and thus put an end to the controversy by its reversion to the government. Every now and then we are told in the dispatches that the Morey letter mystery is to be immediately unraveled, but somehow or other the thing always remains as tightly raveled up as ever. It would just as well as not, I think, to allow it to descend the declivity of time arm in arm with the authorship of the Junius letters, it it were not for the fact that the daily papers must have something for a sensational basis. Mr. John Davenport, the exposer of New York election frauds, is the resurrectionist now in search of the Morey letter stiff. Mr. Witherspoon, the colored gen tleman contesting a seat in Congress from Florica, has had his case withdrawn without prejudice, and Congress will doubtless order an investigation in to the peculiar methods which the peninsular Bourbons pursue before, during and after elections. They not only used force and fraud up to the closing of the polls and the declaration of the result of the elections, but by intimidation and other means prevented Mr. W. from taking the necessary steps to properly contest the right of his opponent to hold the seat. There
should be an investigation of all this Bourbon crookedness.
Congress has passed cent, land bill, which western States five per r the five per refunds" to the cent, of ' the money, received for certain government lands sold within their borders. The money will be used for school ourposes. The bill also for the renewal of the charter of National banks, which expires February next, has been passed. I he Colored 31. E. General Conference, in session here, adjourned this week. Before adjourning a committee was appointed to promote the union of this church with the A. M. E. branch of the Methodist family. The strength of the C. M. E. Church lies mostly in the South, and consists of 1324 preach ers and 1 ZD, uOO communicants. Washington enioyed the beauties of a 840,000 fire last Thursday evening, in the burning of the five story building on Pennsylvania avenue, formerly occupied by the Chronicle and Post news papers. General R. B. Elliott, lateiy removed from a special agency in the Treasury, has located in New Orleans, and been admitted to practice at the bar of the Supreme Court of Louisiana. Ex-Congressman Jere Haralson, of Alabama, lately employed in the Baltimore custom house, will lie a candidate for Congress from the Selina district, which he formerly represented. Ex-Governor Pinchback, of New Orleans, is in the City. E. R. B. The Recent Assassination. At the large Irish gathering recently in New York lion. Richard O'Gorman spoke a? follows: The Chairman then introduced Hon. Richard O'Gorman, who was received with applause. He said, substantially : "Friends, 1 am very lal to s e that. In spite ol the Inclemency of the nicht, we have so magnificent a meeting. I do not think this meeting necessary: I do not tbink it neeewary for Irishmen to protest publicly that tht y look with abhorrenco and detesia.ion on this act of murder.

"Iu every cemmunity men may be found half mad, half bad ; we have had them here in America; twice a President has been stricken down; but to the credit of the American people, in all their fury and excitement, the criminal received a trial according to law and received more indulgences than was ever given in a State trial before. P'Why don't they see after their own people iv British dungeons." a voice yelled.l "There is no pretext for urging upon any Irishman complicity in this ct. I thought when I beard of this meetit g that, after relieving ourselves of all complicity In this crime, I ronld Buj that Irifch politics looked hopeful and the victory gained by Parnell lapplauFcJ was a promise that all should be well, and there is one measure by which tn Irish people will ever be satisfied, full free and impartial justice. Applause. A measure has been introduced into Parliament more grievous than has been introdi.ced before in fifty years. I Hisses. J These unfortunate men were foully murdered In Phoenix Park, but in Ballynngh children with a drum were set upon by policemen and clubbed. fHisses.1 I do not want you to hiss, I want you to proclaim justice here, and by that the Irish people can only be pacified. Coercion may be agreed on ; It may go on and be deftly hidden, but it will be a slumbering fire, and burst out with redoubled force. Fire Is nothing to the fcnglihh," exclaimed a man, and considerable confusion followed. J I say to you, your name stands hih; the trust of the people is in your hands. They know. If any o- e knows, how Ireland has been provoked; will you make the closing years of your life one of happiness to Ireland For fifty years the Irish people have never been in such danger. Forget prejudices; think that every action should be guarded that you may not make the daugt-r greater nor the sorrows of the country and the people that you love worse. Eugland is stronger than Ireland. Ireland can not meet England in a conflict of brute force. The way to meet England is to meet her as she has been met by Charles Stewart Parnell jehcersl ; quick wit against force. I A voice "Dynamite. ''J There are some over there (.pointing to the man) wnom I want to sneak to. The man who issneak- ) ing to you, thirty-two years ago would have been giaa to enter mto a naua-to nana rignt with England. God knows there is cause enough for war between England and Ireland. Do not mistake its cost; we are not able to win. ' What's the rea on?" cried a voice. 1 Any man who will go into a fight and imperil a Nation is a criminal. "Stand steady and obey the men Ireland has chosen, and all will be well. Applaus-e. Keep steady; Ireland has been winning the sympathies of America, and she will keep them if Ehe acts to deserve them. England is loved by America, an U bound to America by ties of commerce. Thete are facts, and facts are not always pleasant. America does not want war with England, aud England does not want war with America. I Laughter and applause. Above National community and affection for the past is eternal love and respect for fair play and justice." Mr. O'Gorman went on to say that Ireland had learned many things of America, and that England had so much to do in looking after her other associates that she had not time to look alter Ireland, and related an incident in which "Prince Hal" was told that "all Ireland could not keep Desmond in order." to which the Prince replied: "Then see if Desmond can not keep all Ireland in order. "Now, if the British Parliament can not keep hese Irishmen in order, let Parnell keep Parliament In order." Laugh ter.l The speaker weut on to say that Ireland was in a grave situation, and that the new bill was a dangerous thing in hostile hands. He bid them honor O'Connell's memory, and said that the English workingmen and the Irish peasantry were iu unison. In the union between the workingmen of Ireland and England there is an affinity. Friends, the hour in Irelani is a gloomy hour, an hour of darkness, but light follows darkness, day follows night; it is always darkest the hour be lore the dawn.' I Loud cneers.l A Star ICoute Affair. INorristown Herald. A Now York clergyman says: ''Love is a work of time. After it has taken fast hold of ono it carries him away with a mighty whirl. Wh n love is twenty-one years oTd then it is the good old stuff." There is not much "good old fluff" of that eort in this world. After a young man goes to see a girl six or seven nights a week for ten or fifteen years, love sort of gets weak in the knees and wobbles as if it were wfary and wanted to be propped up with something like a marriage certificate; and long before the twentieth year is reached, if the youn man U not ''carried away with a mighty whirl," he 18 with her father'a podal, which is pretty much the same thing. Love thnt must be old enough to vote bof re it can travel in doable harness is a glaring etar route an air. The royal family of England is credited with being one of the most natural and unaffected in the country. The Queen's daughters always speak of her Majety as "Ma." When Von Angeli's picture ofthe Queen was fin-t shown to the Princess Bestrice, he exclaimed: "Oh! look at poor ma's arm&l" the laithful artist l aving painted the Queen's hands and arras of a very ruddy hu. To ber grandchildren the Queen is nver grandmother or grandmamma, bu always "grandma," a word held, like "ma," in especial abhorrence among the cultivated classes of England, who regard both as the language ot the bourgeoisie. The average daily receipts of milk last week at the various points of distribution in New York City were as follows: Erie Railway, 200 cans of cream, 3,5.39 cans of milk; Harlem Railroad, 2.175 cans of milk; New Haven Railroad, 490; Hudson River Railroad, 3S0; Midland Railroad, 1,125 cans of milk and 65 cans of cream; New York City and Northern Railroad, 550 cans of milk; miscellaneous near-by routes, 1.G50 cans; total, 9.909 cans of milk of forty quarts each, and 265 cans of cream. The prices at which the surplus sold on the platform averaged $1.75 per can of forty quarts. A large increase on the Erie Road ami a small increase on all the other roads overstocked the market, and the average price for the week was twenty-five cents per can less than the previous week.

J A man, whoso large face was creased by innumerable expressive lines, leaned with studied negligence against a post on Union Square and grzfcd at paeeer6-by with an air of legitimate and well-bred interest. He had a st'ikingly "profe ional" look, and wore his clcthes, which were ultra-fashion-able in '77, with a jaunty carelessness that ignored the whitened seams and defied the shining t ack. His tall, eilk hat was tipped at an angle over his eyes. He looked con tented and loquacious, and very much like an actor.

At A - r , ii-w ivn i'i uioi uveii in my proie&kion, Because I'm an eutbuiiaet in a certain sense, t belcnr: to the lime when tha study and mke up of faces wt.9 mighty important in the theatrical lino. It wasn't such a long time ao, either: but the times have changed fciuco then, ui.til now there seems to be almost no e'Jort tu all to make up a&d look your part. I never saw this more amazingly apparer.t than when I got in last night. 1 vieut in to 'Odette' at 'Daly'p, and saw Harry Pitt, who is an actor of experience, slap the audience, so to speak, square in the face. In the first act he is the injured busLaud and father, and looks about 42 years old. By the time the next act is" reached fifteen years are supposed to have elapsed, which are full of bitterness and torture to him; but he comes bouncing on the stage, lookir.fc about 40, instead of 57 years old. Of coursj all the unities are jarred and the piece intrinsically injured, and simply because he won't mke up. The vice is spreading. Actors won't disguise their good looks for a part. Does John McCullough's Virginius look like an aged Roman father? No; ho looks like what he is, a magnificently matured man in tbo prime of life. Lester Walla -k never make up or shaves off his darling mustache, no. matter what the part, and Tearle is always Tearle." It mut bo a great deal of trouble to make up every night." ' Ah, but, mo bov, look at the result! Go down to the Thain Theater, where they still do it, and if only five years have elapsed between the acts, see how it is shown on every face an the stage." ' It is difficult to make up well, is it not?" 'Well, no," eaid the actor lighting a fresh cigar and assuming a more confidential pose; "the rules are simple enough, and with a little practice, almost any amateur could lea-n to make up artistically if he has any eye for effect. Some parts, like Romeo, Charles fcuriace, Sidney Darrel, and Claude Melnotte, require very littia make up for a youug and good looking actor. The lace and neck shouli be thoroughly covered with powder, and the ch ek bones and chin lightly touched with rouge, which should not be too red. Then as the lover ought to look handsome, he should draw a fine black line under his lower eye-lashes with a camel hair brush ani burnt amber. This makes the eyes brilliant. I'm sure it ißn't much trouble to make up that way.'' "Other characters are harder though.' "Oh, immeasurably so. But to make a maturer man, like Cassio, Iago, Mercutio, Mild may, or Hawksley, it requires only a little more werk. After the actor has laid on his powder and rouged his face pretty heavily for men are commonly rather red" f aced he must take his brush and amber and trace some lines from the outer corners of the eye3, and other lines down towards the corners of the mculh from the nose. In 6nort, re musi mane "crows ieev mat are visible in all men who have lived over thirty years in this tantalizing world of ours. Then the chin should be touched with a little blue powder, which makes it look as if recently shaved. These precautions will make the mofct juvenile face look secure. If he has to go further, and look like old age, as in euch characters as Lear, Virginia for, as 1 aid before, Virginius was an old mac Richelieu, Peter Teazle, and so on, more work is necessary. Heavy false eyebrows must bo pasted on, and the eye hollow-darkened and fairly crowded with lines. Wrinkles must be painted across the forehead, furrows down the cheek, downward lines from the corners of the mouth, and (very important) three or four heavy wrinkles pain tod around the neck to give it the shriveled appearance common to old age. Th hollow over the upper lip shouli be darkened and aleo the hollow under the lower lip. This gives the mouth the pinched and toothless look. A little powdered antimony on the cheeks makes them lock lallen in and shrunken. Then tone the lace down with a delicate coating of pearl powder, and you'll have as old a looking man as you'd dare to see." "How docs it all feel?" 'At first your f.-ce feels tightened and the muscles don't play easy, but after a Jew grimace it comes all right. It's a great relief to get it off, however, after three hours' work." "It mu3t cause rather mournful forecasts when a man looks on his own face made up for the aged, say eighty years." 1 'Not so bad as when he makes up for & corpse, however. I'll never forget the first glance I had at my face after it had been made up for Gaston's death scene, when playing the "Man in the Iron Mask," in '62. It positively appalled me, sir, and I lay awake all that right thinking of it, and dreamed of myself in a coffin for a month afterward." "How is it done?" "Well, it vftries slightly. You see such characters as Lear, Virginius, Werner and Beverley aretefore the audience some time before they actually die, and, therefore, their faces can't be made to very corpselike; but Matthias in The Bella, Louis XI, Gaston and Danny Man are discovered dying when the Ecene opens, or are brought in dead, so that their faces can be made extreme. For the last series the face and neck spread with prepared white, and afterward touched up with Dutch pink to
give it a livid hue in places. Then put a deep shading of powdertd antimony under the eyebrows and well into the hollow of the eye, on the cheel s, throat and temples. This is very effective, as it eives the face that dreadfully sunken appearance as in death. The side of the nose and over the upper l'p should also bo darkened, and tha lips powdered blue. Then the face will look at out as dead as it would three hours after a real death." 'In the make-up of grotesque faces do they use false noses and chins?'' 'Very rarely. Usually the method is to stick some wool on the nofe with gum and mold it in whatever shape you will; then powder and paint it as you wcu'd the natural ncso for grotesque or comedy parts. Paste is put on with gum, ii. stead of wool, sometimes. Clowns have to ercase themselves fairly with whiting, and they find this trouble enouah without building up noses or cheeks. Grotesque artists have to work hard with their faces as a rule, but
they "often are repaid by dUcovering neat points. Mny cf cur best Dutch and Irish comedians owe their first lilt to a lucky make-up.'' "I suppose there are types for the representation ofthe different nationalities?" ''Well, a gentleman is usually made up the same, no matter where he may be supposed to belong, but the caricature i. usually one of the well known rrakeupi. A Frenchman has to be pondered with dark rouge, and has his eve brows blanivf rrd. with India ink. All dark characters, as mulattoes, Creole?, Spaniards and so on aTe done with whiting and da'-k rouge, with plenty of burnt cork and umber." "Is much work necessary n the hands?" Tn TlfcrlifB it 5 of rroüt in-irvrf nn tht the hands and arms should be ekincy, and bony. This is usually done by a liberal powdering of Dutch pink and painting in between the knuckles with burnt umber. Painting them in between the knuckles, you see, makes them look large and bejiy. But this sound a good deal like ancient hi-lory, now, dcesn't it? The art i falling into disuse, niy buy, ar d I've no doubt that the time's not far off when we shall have youngftetB placing old mf-n with sine on their back reading, 'Plcaee, sir, I'm ighty years old,' winle their fa .es are as fr sh as daisies." "To what do jou attribute this tndencv?" "Lzins?. The thealrC!;l av;e of to-dy is a profound vendfr to me. The entire professicn wants to star. An actor plays oil men row sirrply for a living, w ile Le matures his plL8 Jor his cor tern rlated starring tour. An actress does eld women, heavies, er juveniles, only until she can find a capitalist who will erable her to star, ard none of thm seem to take any pride ia the minor parts. Hence they don't take the trouble to make up ATtittically, acd the staero is robbfd of i-s chief charm realism.

She stayed and talked, and talked and stayed, much to the disgust of Mr. Eastman, who was waiting for her to go home, so ha could get hia supper. Finally she got up to go, whereupon Mr. Eastman said: "1 am really sorry you did not leave an hour ago, before tho moon was up, for then I would have had the pleasure to see vou home with a lantern.'
