QREENLEY'S CASE.

Mach interestjbas been manifested in the case of tbo colored man, Oreenley, who was sentenced to be bung on yesterday and was in the Marion county jail awaiting hifc doom.1

uHis

BAHNUM'S

case had

been appealed to the So pre me Court and on Monday was affirmed. The sheriff immediately began erecting a scaffold and preparing to execute the sentence pf tbe law. Ills lawyers and other persons then began circulating petitions asking the Governor to commute the sentence to imprisonment for life. These petitions were signed by a large number of persons and by many of the colored people, and were presented to the Gov ernor on Thursday, on the evening of whioh day the Governor granted the condemned man a respite of one week This action of the Governor strongly indicates a final commutation of the prisoner, for he would hardly prolong the torture of the condemned man for seven days, if at the end of that time the sentence of death was still to be executed. We may conclude, therefore, that Greenley will not be hanged

Undoubtedly many peopie will be glad that be is not to be banged, and a sense of relief will be experienced by almost everyone. It is certainly not a pleaaaut thing to put a man to death and it is uiuch easier to be merciful than to -be just, whon it comes to that point. No ono can help pittying and feeling deeply for the condemned man but the chief question is: What is the best thing to do for society—to execute tbo criminal or oominute his sentence? There are those who are opposed to capital punishment wholly and who believe that no murderer ought to be hanged. This theory, however, does not seem to be upheld by experience, for in several states, among them Iowa, where capital punishment was abrogated a few years ago,the death penalty has been restored. If the occasional exeoution of a criminal would produce a wholesome effect on the morals of society, then we have no right to allow sympathy or sentiment to stand in the way of the rigid enforcement of the law. That is really the only question to be decided. V*

"greatest show on earth"

will be out this way soon. The great showman appreciates the "benefit of the clergy," and is liberal in the distrlbu tlon of complimentary tickets among the ministers. We don't believe our preachers will treat him as did some Delaware preachers last week. Barnum sent them tickets to attend the show. They solemnly resolved not to accept the complimentary pasteboards and reserved armchairs. And they went further— they characterised the pavilions of the "greatest show on earth" as the "tents of wickedness," and advised their flocks to keep out of Mich company, and they otherwise pronounced themselves in a manner that wakened up the vot« era 11 showman. He congratulates them upon not coming in contaot with his "heathen giraffes," "drunken sea horses," "profane parrots," "cantankerous cockatoos," Ac., giving his menagerie full mention. He tells the pious clergymen who want to keep out of this bad company that the chairs he intended for them will be given to ladies and children who, in this generation, are not to be driven into caves and dungeons by the clergy, lest the light of the ejnn may shine on them. Nevertheless his doors are still open to the preacher*, if they repent and want to come and learn something.

TURKS

are terrible times for the ma

terialising spiritual mediums. One by one they fall. None of them have *»ujoyed a greater reputation than one Mott, of Memphis, Mo. Thousands have flocked to see him. It will he remembered that Mr. tfibbert and wile, of Buenos Ay res, after visiting Mrs. Stewart of this city, journeyed over there to see his wonderful manifestations. On Monday evening last be lad a visitor in the person J, H. Pattee, of Monmouth, III. He was an experimental CUBS when the seaooe was In fall blast,h« squirted aniline through a ring, which he bad prepared tor that purpose, into the faoe of one of the "spirha" which 4p$i&ced at the aperture of the oabtoet. at onoa disappeared, lights ^am'hniught in, and Mott iw found 4fth bis face covered with the aniline etaiaa. Tbe affair created great excitement In as Las txen deemed of sin 'tn^irUu^ as to telegraphed all over the country.

A CONTRIBUTOR to Scr^bntr gives an interesting account of an experiment la co-operative gardening. Driven out of Chicago by the Are, he settled in a western village, and triad

mike a

garden, like the veatoI bisneighbora. All were neglected and all failed There was no market in the plaoe, and

vegeta

bles cost four times as muchaa in Chicago. The next summer he organised a stock company, and twenty-tone'shares at$5 a share were taken. The company rented several acres of ground* elected a competent German woman bead gardener, and established a market near the gardens. Prices were put down as low as possible and every one connected with the company paid the established price for everything they got from the gardens. Prices were thus reduced to about a third of what they usually were, The total outlay for the first year was 9440 and the income fl,143, showing a profit of |703. The second year was better than the first, but the two past years were unfavorable and did not show up so well still, the company was able to declare a dividend and everybody had good fresh vegetables at reasonable priced. There is a hint in this of the possibilities of gardening in small towfis.

AFTER all the squibbing about the number of officials from Ohio, it turhs out, from an examination of the blue book, says the Chicago Inter Ocean, thi|t Ohio is just fifty-seven short of haying her quota according to population, while Maine has ninety-seven more than her share, Massachusetts sixty-eight more, New Hampshire forty-four more than her quota, and Indiana and Illinois are far short. Under civil service rules we do not know how to correct such a grievous error. The consolation these npglected States can take is, that fewer of theiryoung men are spoiled by clerkships and official positions. Just how Ohio could have got such an undeserved reputation of filling all (be offices we cannot Imagine, unless it Is the greatness and Conspicuity of those who have been appointed to official position from that State. ornu'-i

THE opening reception given by the Indiana Art Association in Indianapolis, last Tuesday evening, is represented by the papers of that city to have been in unqualified success in every respect. The spacious apartments occupied hy the School of Art were literally croNvded with guests, and it is said that not less than 2,500 people were present durihg the evening. The display of paintings, bric-a-brac, and other artistic objects was large and interesting. Much credit is given Mr. James F. Gookins, a former citizen of this place, and who is at the head of the Art School, for his Z9al and energy in the cause to which be has dedicated his life. We trust the school will continue to prosper as it deserves.

PETITIONS asking for tbe instant repeal of the bankrupt law, signed by prominent and leading business rnfen, have been forwarded from Indianapolis, Cincinnati, and perhaps other cities, to tbe Senate. The petitioners say that the operation of tbo law is daily corrupting the commercial hohor of the country, and that its further existence can only be productive of harm. This is the opinion of intelligent business men everywhere and ought to be respected by Congress.

TliE elevated railroad in New York city has been inaugurated and is pio* nouncod a great success. A train made up of a locomotive and four cars passed over it from Trinity Church to Central Park,on Wednesday, in twenty minutes. The railroad is constructed on tbe London plan, and is carried over tbe tops of the houses on a sort of trestle-work. If tbe train should ran off the track it would be bad for the people below!

A MAN down in Kentucky put forth a plea as novel as it is good for nomination to office, and his creditors will be a set of ingrates if they do not elect him instead of compelling him to go into bankruptcy. He says:

Being in a close place and desiring to pay my debts, and oelieving that the office*of Assessor would assist me In doing so, I have concluded to become a candidate."

THE lowest point the national debt of the United States ever, reached was in 1835, when it was only f35,fil3. Tbe Florida war brought it np to 182,742,600 in IS43, and at tbe close of the rebellion it bad reached tbe enormous sum of 92,773,236,173. This shows how oostly a thing war is. Without wars there woald be little or no occasion for the creation of national debts.

THE new Pope is sound on tbe "tramp" question. The other day he astonished a crowd of Raman beggars, too laxy even to tramp, by dispersing them from in front of tbe Vatican with a message that "it is God's will that man shall earn his bread in tbe sweat of his brow."

EVEN

the good Peter Oooper is in

trouble over the' presidential election. He gave a Mr. Groom fft.000 to be used for election purposes. He believed that Groom did not' use tbe money for that purpose, and said so. Groom sues Mr. Cooper for $50,000 damages for slander.

THB Bankrhpt Law still lingers in Senate, and many who have recently been in such a hurry to fail, regret that they did not continue in business a little longer.

Um Kiss.

Cella Logan tn the N. Y. Sunday Dispatch. Among tbe unrealities of that strange mimicry of all human emotions, acting, stage kisaing.i* the most singular, because it represents a fervency of feeling which people seldom exhibit toward each other, except when alone.

To simulate warmth without trenching on grossness requires the nicest art, failing which tbe actor runs tbe risk of offending at once the spectator and the actress, who must draw the line very firmly lest tbe audience may think her fellow artist ber lover in verity, instead of merely semolance.

In the days when the continual representation of "the old legitimate," constituted a regular school of acting, in which the tyro was required to serve along and ardous apprenticeship before b» be came an expert, tbe rnles gnven.ing stage kijsing were clearly tia-4* and to follow them was tbntM.ju proper if not absolutely obligatory. To kiss the lips was considered, a deep affront, dot to resent which an actress was seriously censured for, as the

xactor

.who

offered it. To kiss a lady's eFieek'was eveuheid to be superfluous tq^touoh with bis cheek that of the actress was quite sufficient for an actor, who more olten than not merely played his bead behind hers, so that it would appear to the audience that he had kissod ber, while in reality he had not even touched her. Where tbe stage business diil not imperatively call for a kiss on the cheek the hand was selected, and some gentlemen would even take the lady's band in such a way that the kiss would be on tbe thumbnail Lastead of tbe hand. The new school of actors and actresses are so realistic that they would doubtless lauijh to sqoru such fastidiousness, and stigmatize it as''old fogy." ,«

FOULEST AND STAGE B3SS1XO, ToForrest, stage hissing was evidently very disagreeable, and it was quite early in his career when he abandoned love-sick characters anji played only those in which no kissing or caressing was necessary, or only of the most frigid sort.

I hate slobbering—it's not manly," he said to my father once, when, as stage manager of1a Western theatre, he was pressing him to play "Claude Mel notte," on the ground that the novelty of seeing him as a young lover would be attractive.

Thegreat tragedian reluctantly yielded. *®s impersonation was grand, but heavy. In the cottage scene, where Pauline faints in'Claude's arms, be looked (from the wiugs) as if be had.half a mind to let her drop, and when he said, "One k\ssr-no scorn on that pale lip forbids me now," he let fall a kisis, like a sledge hammer, on her forehead—so quick, so hard, that her head, whioh was' dragging over bis arm instead of resting against his breast, dropped still lower under the blow. "Tbe rough bear!" growled thoPau line, when she came off "be nearh snapped my neck in two."

He would, however, kiss children oji the stage very tenderly, and I have seen tsars spring to his eyes as he did so. Once, in the last scene of "Pizarro," he caught me up when I was playing the child, and the tears fell fast over trie, bavesinco wondered why—whether .bo was affected by the woes of the part, or because it seemed as if all men might be parents but him. Who can tell? No matter the grave eiided it all, and

He prayeth best who leaves unguessed The mystery Of another's breast,

Wliy clieeka grow pale, wby eytso'erflow,. Or heads are white, we need not know." When Mrs. Forrest, as his divorced wife, went upon the stage, Mr. Yandeuhoff supforted r.er. Although both were quite of isiddle age, they played young part3, like "Claude" and "Pauline" and" kissed on the lips.

This,- among the ladies of the profes sion, awoke much aversion to her, and feeling for Forrest. Few of them seemed to take into consideration that sbe was a novice, and knowing nothing of the then rules of the stage, was, in ail probability, not aware that she was giving cause for condensation but the uiu ^h reprobated kiss of Mr. Vandenbofl WMM as chaste as that which a parent gives a child, compared to tbe stage kissing of the present day. •Wvtf JU ... ...

TOO LOVING ALTOGETHER.

In a time, not far removed from this, of other men and other manners, there was an actor named Ashmer, who played light comedy and fops at the old National Tbsatre, Cincinnati. He was an ugly little man, but excessively vain and shallow.

His goodness of heart and amiability compensated for tbeee defects of disposition.

He never missed an opportunity of giving a lady a real kiss, thereby awakening great indignation. There eame a time when a mild species of madness seemed to possess him. It took tbe form of Jeaving off labial caresses, and falling into the arms of every woman In tuin, whether the business called for it or not, from the leading lady down to the unobtrusive ballet girl, imprinting a kiss on ber shoulder, and murmuring, only loud enough for ber to bear, "Darling, do yoa love me?" By tbe time he had gene the rounds of tbo company tbe ladies, having compared notes, were boiling with anger. "Has Ashmer gone mad, or does he mean to insult the whole of us?" they inquired of each other.

At last they called an indignation meeting after tbe rehearsal, one morning, and requested the light comedy man to be present. He came, swelling with pride and importance.

Tbe leading lady had been ehosen spokeswoman. She informed bim tbat the Jadtea of the theatre had determined in a body to request from the management us dismissal, unless he would not only there and then offer an acceptable explanation of bia mysterious and insolent behavior, and an apology to them individually and collectively.

In no wiee abashed, Mr. Ashmer responded to tbe effect that he was glad tbey had afforded bim an opportunity to solve a matter which had greatl perplexed bim tbat hia conduct had been merely part of an inveatigation he felt called upon to carry out moreover, be was quite willing, aa a gentleman, to apologias to all exeept one ladv, whom be hoped was there present, the writer of an anonytttotts letter to bim, which he begged sib would acknowledge. Tbe letter was handed from one to anotitisr. ItfM filled wlth the most ardent expressions or love, saying that she was a member of tbe same company as himself, that she did not dare confess her passion, but that if h« would kiss every fad?. In acting. 6tf the shoulder. and say, met** wh*n it writer, the woald

Daring, do camp to the to ajiawcr, "X do."

Why!" said tbe wife of the low come-

£l.an* "if it ain't that mischief maimer of h. husband of mine that's been and •written this! I could swesr to bis writing though it is written small like a woman's,"

The low comedian acknowledged the trick, over which all the gentlemen of tbe theatre had been laughing for a fortnight. This was the reason there had not been a husband but was too poor spirited to thrash that impudent little Ashmer. HOW MATILDA HERON RECEIVED KISSES.

Sometimes dislikes and dissensions spring np between people who play "oppobites," and the "Claude" and "Pauline," the "Romeo" and "Juliet" feel more inclined to bite than to kiss, once beard Matilda Heron say (sbe had a naive way of making sotto voce remarks that could be beard by tbe entire audience) to her stage lover, "Hands off. I won't have yon spluttering and pawing me with those dirty claws," and instead of receiving bis proffered kiss which he was just mad enough to attempt to make ber, sbe started to run and he after her. Several times he got near enough to stretch out his hands sbe dodged under them, until tbe fctrange and unexpected scene awoke the risibilities of tbe audience, and amid tbeir shouts and yellB she escaped from the stage.

There are many who contend that Matilda Herun was always more or less insane. Foremost among them is the hero of tbe above incident, who is never tired of repeating it, to prove that she was demented, and in all these years a suspicion has never entered his head that repugnance to him individually may have caused ber to act in the "crazy way" 8be did.

I "THE BLACK CROOK. When "The Black Crook" was produce for tho first time at Niblo's, Mr Vining Bowers, played the leading low comedy part, and a ladv importation from England, the soubrette. Tbeir Bceues were together, and in the course of their rehearsals some disagreements arose between them as to stage business. The lady thought she would make herself as disagreeable as possible, and refused to let Mr. Bowers kiss, her, he insisting that it would spoil his point if he did not, and so tbe strife waxed hotter and hotter. At length, in a rage. Bowers pulled out his part, and opening it before her eyes, said "There, madam! Do you see that, madam? The stage directions in my part are, *ktsses ber'—not puts his arms around ber waist and pretends to kiss

her, but 'kisses her,' and will kiss you, madam, and be d—d to jou RR'S 'RIVM

CHAT.1T LADY.

George Clarke was always dressed in exquisite taste, and could not endure a speck of anything on his clothes. There was a certain"piece running in which a lady bad to throw herself ib his arms, bid bim an agonized farewell, and turn away with ber handkerchief to her eyes. She used .to. whiteu herself untiLshe resembled a cbalk woman, and naturally left the white impress of her arms on his elegant black silk velvet coat. The moment she tur.nod, her, back be would brush the pCwder and blow it off, setting the hobse in a rcvar. She Inviariably looked up to. the gallery to se® what was going on there, but never caught Clarke, although she once said that the laugh came so regularly after her.speech, she "suspected Clarke was up to some Of bis monkey tricks."

FRED. WABDE'S STAGE DRINK. M. Fred. B. Warde was performing "Romeo," in Manchester, England, at the Princess' Theatre, to Miss Neilson's "Juliet." At rehearsal he complained of not feeling well. Miss Neilson always carries ber own vial for tbe poisou scene —a flat bottle to prevent its rolling out of her reach. This bottle was given to Mr. Warde, who turned it to bis lips, and was surprised to find that he had swallowed nauseous draught of something which streamed over his' chiii. There was nothing left for him but to die, so be fell on bis back, where in due time Miss Neilson crept to bim in her dying agony, atld, in the ardor of acting, noticing nothing she covered bis face with kisses when they both went before the curtain in response to tbe call they looked like two blackamoors. Miss Neilson, being fond of a practical joke, bad, on hearing hiui complain of illness, procured some tincture of iron with which she filled the bottle for the night, not thinking that she would Come in for ber share of tbe liquid. To this lady, in great measure, the stage owes its present real stic kissing, and to Mr. George Rignold also.

I, for one, think the theatre no better, but worae, for tbe innovation. An oldtimtr actor out in 6«ti Francisco stood one night at tbo wing watching her as Juliet "slobbering," as Forrest called it. over Romeo's body. "Well," said the old man, "if I was Rqmeo and she kissed me tbat much in that way—I'd get up and kiBS her back —I wouldn't care if I was dead.'

Vf GETTING SMtJDGKD. Mis.* Rose Ey tinge was traveling with E. L. Davenport. The piece was "Othel le" Mrs. Davenport was in front, and after it was over sbe went behind the seenes. She began to compliment her husband on hs acting. "Oh, it was splendid 1" she exclaimed, rapturously. "Yes, and so natural," *aid Rose Ey tinge. "See how all the black came on on my cheek 1"

When gentlemen paint those huge black mustaches, such as never grew on human face, tbey usually leave a smudge on the cheek of the lady tbey kiss.

It is not often that any trouble or jealousy arises from stage kissing, as it is understood to be a mere mechanical matter of business, but Miss Lizzie Mc Call has been, getting Into hot water. Sbe savs: "So far as tbo other affair with' Katharine Rogers is eoncerned, she was to blame. Playing 'Moya,' in 'The Sbsughraun,' at the Graud Opera House, I had to kisa Mr. Boacicault. This seems to have enraged Mist Rogers, and we bad words, but did not come precisely to blowv."

Dear dear! Nearly catue to blows, and all abont a sham kiss 11 THS BIONOU) KISS.

The Rignold Kiss is qnite celebrated. In the last act of "King Henry V." he says to Katberine: "Oh, Kate, nioe customs cart's kings—therefore, patiently and ingly."

He wheels ber around till she faces him, then draws her doee, prsasiis bis lips to ners, and keepa them there, until at last her bead sinks upon hi* breast. Meanwhile aa almost breathless silence reigns throughout tbe front of the house, and when tbe suspense engendered by tbe kiss is over, one simultaneous atgbof relief escapee tbe spectator

The Ricnold ids# cannot be too severely condemned. It, and Mias Neilson's reckless and sensuous caresses, have introduced on tbe boards a freedom ia Koch matters which cannot but have a videos tendency among the young and inexperienced who visit theaters.

Tt has n* demoralfsdng effect upop tb4 artists themselves, for the reason I have given before it is to them merely a bit

of "stags business," and nothing more. *•...' COOHLAN A3 A KISSER. If theatrical students would learn bow to manage a stage kiss with the ex act amount of fervor, without overstepping the bounda of propriety, let tbem

and the dainty Montague, or the Coghlan. In this, ss in most other requirements of bis art, Mr. Coghlan is ss perfect sa it is given to man to be. Let him enwrap his arms ever so closely around lady, either in tbe character of lover, husband, son. brother or father, and the most refined and fastidious taste will find nothing to offend, but all to admire. He never touches tbe lips, and yet there is no perceptible lack of warmth. In "A Celebrated Case" he bestows so many kisses that they might almost be classified— the kiss of love, when be meets bis wife of paternal affection, when he kisses his baby of sorrow, when he parts from both to go back to tbe wars of agony, despair and almost madness, when he kisses the innocent infantile lips which have pronounced him an assassin the kiss of surprise and delight, when he recognizes that child in after years as a woman.

One abominable custom of private life has been grafted of late years on to the stage—tbat of women continually kissing each other, without rhyme or reason. It is a silly, sickening fashion.

TALMAQE ON STlNOYMEN. The Rev. T. Dewitt Talmage thus talks right out in meeting about stingy men "Young men are exposed to fiettipitation, superficial and subterraneous 8in is a daughter of hell, garlanded, robed and trinketed, inviting tbe young man to walk in her primrose paths and drink from the river of Wine, the participant only asked to dip it up in chalices that sweat witb diamonds and amethysts and chrisoprases but the end of it all is death. Tbe only klrd of nature tbat is free from temptation is the cold, hard, stingy temperament. What would Satan do with such a mstn if he got him! The person is sure for the everlasting realm of everlasting fire. The generous ardent, warm hearted, social young man is" in especial peril. Young Men's Christian Associations need not bother themselves about tbe empty beaded, empty hearted young man. Ho will not gamble, exoept with somebody else's stakes. He will.not drink, unless some one treats. He waits for some generous youth to join him at the bar.' And when be is asked to ba.ca.JIdrink, he replies, 'Since you insist on it, I will.' Too mean to go to perdition unless some one pays expenses." *.

WHA TMIGHT HAVE BEEN. From Iugersoll's lecture.09 Ghosts. The speaker having elaborated on these ideas, offered some facts aa exouses for bis race. Said he: The earth is not very well adapted to raise intelligent people. There is a very small tract that can do it. You want soil,, and climate, and conditions, for ridsing men as well as for raising corn. Corn will not: grow on the ice of the Arctic re gions. nor will men auy more than they will, in the glare of the tropics. Tbe southern half of tbe globe has never produced a man of mind, of talent, of genius, and never will till civilization lima a means to fight the heat. A litt'e while ago the late administration was endeavoring to annex tbe island of Santa Domingo, 1 was opposed to it. I said we don't wrant it—we have got barbarism enough. But they said to me the climate is delightful, if you could only go there you never would go away. I said to tbernl don't like tbat kind of a climate it don't make good people. If you will take from New England 5,000 ministers, 5,000 elders, and 6,000 professors of colleges and their families, and ship them to Santa Domingo, ,in the second generation you will see them— no shoes on tbeir feet, their hair sticking out of the top of their hats, and with a rooster under each arm going to acock fight on Sunday.
