ing t.h9 two proscenium boxes. Hs appeared in a light farce from the French entitled “From the Opera Comique,” and in two acts from King Lear, and one scene from Julins Csesar. Barnay’s Marc Antony is undoubtedly the finest creation that has ever been brought out *n an American stage. It is not art, it is genius which invest a part which has been and played so often with characteristics which render it as life like as a living man. That speech over Caesar’s body v. s never spoken in a way that Barnay spoke u Xhe oraft> the skill, the bonhomie, the the accomplished politician and the love 'y the dead friend were never blended, rather fused together in such a manner. The house went wild with applause, Lester Wallack clapped his hands till his gloves burst, Barrett rose up and 1 eaned forward with breathless excitement, and Sarah Jewett who as usual was armed with-a huge fan, gave that female weapon a rap a'a she threw it open which almost knocked the hat off a lady in front of her. The climax came when Barnay uttered the line ‘‘Where can I find his equal,” in the pur- , oat English, and turned to where Barrett sat. The delicate compliment of the finest Marc Antony to the best American Cassius was understood by all in the house, and duly applauded. A forthcoming literary no* w1; - ch will make its appearance in a y' is a society novel which has _ one of the brightest and cleveresl .. w in society There is a flutter in Murray Hill over.Hie event, for the lady while still young, handsome and of course fond of being appreciated tit her worth, is the dead enemy of hypocrisy which is the cement ol modern society. It is understood in this work of hers, she rubs off some of the tinsel and paint with which this cement is covered. and draws some characters so life like that their real identity cannot be m'staken For this reason everybody looks guilty and fearful, and the bell es and beauxawait the forthcoming book with as much eagerness as pater famiiias j await the newspapers the morning after he has had a box at the French ball.

Germany and Mexico have made a commercial treaty. Postmaster General, Howe, is at Madison, Wisconsin, sick. The crop prospects in California jor 1883, are the best for years. The relations between Spain and Germany are not quite cordial. The 600 mechanics employed in the carshops at Bloomington 111., are on the striking hour. Numerous' outrages are reported as committed, by the Apaches in Sonora and New Mexico. Hon. John C. New had a long interview with the President on the 22d. What new will come of this? The Richland county Minn, court house was destroyed by fire on last Sunday. Loss 816-000. Insurance $10.00. It is said that Parnell’s recent visit to Paris was for the purpose of provoking French hostility to England. It is said that General Walker has abandoned w on the cens us, and that the pin-opect of its completion is bad. A saloon license bill, $100 ■minimum and $500 maximum has passed to the third reading in the Wis con sin senate.

American Newspapers in 1883. From 1 the new edition of Messrs. Geo, P. Howell & Go’s American Newspaper Directory, which is now in press, it appears that the newspapers and periodicals of all kinds issued in the U. S. and Territories now reach the imposing total ol 11,196. This is an increase of 585 in twelve months. Taking the States one by one, the newspaper..growth in some is very considerable. T hep resent total in New York State, for instanc 1,399—a gain of 80 in the past year. me 1 increase in Pennsylvania is 48, the existing number being 943. Nebraska’s j total grew from 175 to 201, and Illinois I from 890 to 904. A year ago Massachusetts had 420 papers; now the number is 438. In Texas the new papers outnumbered the suspensions by 8, and Ohio now has 738 papers instead of 692. The most remarkable change has occurred in the Territories, in which the daily papers have grown from 43 to 63, and the weeklies from 169 to 243 —Dakota being the chief area of activity. The number of monthlies throughout Hu country grew from 976 to 1,034, while the dailies leaped from 996 to 1,062. The figures given above are exclusive of Canada, which possesses a total ofW It is interesting to note that the new.’-*-settled regions of the Canadian Nor!.

A political party must deal honestly with the people. A man who would be a political leader must have brains. He must be honest and straightforward. If he makes a pledge he must redeem it. A dishonest politician may have a short lived success. But the people soon gauge him every way. A man may get into the Legislature by deceiving the people; and he may get a fat fee for betraying them. It is said that much money was used to prevent the Indiana Senate from seeing the record of the passage of the amendments by the previous Legislature. But it is not known what members got the money. The liquor leaguehad money to spend for the purpose of defeating the submission of the amendments, Is it not strange that the majority of th members of the House found the record all suSicient on the amendments while the majority -of the members of the Senate profess that 1 found it otherwise? But you can always account for the milk in the cocoanut.

He seems never'to do anything or to say anything lor effect;, but only because it should be said. He never tries to be impressive. He never gesticulates. He never lifts up bis voice.

A pealiar instance of the force of the imnginatpn came to my knowledge to-day Tu a certin'office there is employed as collector a tin who has been suffering from Peart, diease for some years.

Legislative Blunders. ./[•Lawrencebu rg Register, Drin.] The li.iiasiii Legislature mijranrawi March 5-.-h . and while it may he * aid lbs. it has accomplished much that will fleet credit on the repre e, enn>L»<5s of the Dem.oe*-"tic p*rty in tins State, yet it can not be sai that it made no blunders and did no wrong. It haa done.much in Its actions that should be condemned, and that can not be condoled by the p fcy in the majority. It was expected >- much in the line of wholesome legislation would be accomplished by this body, and to that end people may have demanded too ranch ; yet this will not excuse those who controlled.its deliberations for the failures that may be placed to their credit. Amongst which no greater could have been made by a legislative body than the refusal of the late Legislature, a majority, of whom were Democrats, to pass the general appropriation mil in time for it to become a law. The fact that the Republican President of the Senate entered into a conspiracy with the Governor and the Republican Senators to defeat a local police bill did not justify the Democrats in retaliating by defeating the general appropriation bill. The State was not specially interested in the metropolitan police bill, which only affected two cities in the State, but it is especially interested in the provisions essential to secure the necessary funds to carry on the affairs of State. The defeating, therefore, of such a measure asi the general appropriation bill for so trivial a cause, was a great outrage, and those who were the instruments in accomplishing it should be severely condemned by the press generally, that" the Democratic party may not be held responsible Tor this wrong in the future. The passage of the bill just before the adjournment, at a time when it was questionable whether the Legislature had the power to do so, gave the President of the Senate an excuse not to sign the bill which the Democrats could have avoided by passing it before. This outrage,therefore, committed by the President of the Senate, is not sufficient to justify the Democrats in refusing to do their duty. *-«*©«—♦ Once a year the troops in India are called on to cheer for the empress.
