Wonld yoa kuow, this May day, the darling of the populace; the hero of ihe country-house, of the shop, the stable, the hall? It is none other Ehan thé great cleimant to the Tichborne es- #ates,~— Sir Roger,” or Don Castro, or Arthur Orton, as the end may ehow. BStatesmen, war- xiors, prieets, authors, artists, and even actors, ghrink befare the bulky form of the heavy- @rowed man who overy aftarnoan moves through D enthusiastic mmltitude to his carrisge, fresh grom the stage in his trial for perjury. English Wudges are punctilious a8 to the comments upon phy‘l;md ‘begun before I entered tho box. It was ¢ Macheth,” and, .8 X got near the box,_the thrilling tones o Fanny Kemble, who, 88 Lady Macbeth, was 'reading the lettar from her lord, went through me, - Never wero such_ sounds. The rich, deep notes, firat heard, produced an indeacribable emotion, mdi,fl?t the rest_of the night, T cared for nobody but Fanny Kemble, Strongly as Istraggled with the feeling, Macready disappointedme. The harshness of his voice, the raggedness of his passion, his abrupt transitions {from rage 1o grief, were painful. The next night I saw him in Philip Van Artevelde, when e positively seemed to rave. But I wss only a youth, and I sot no store on those impreasions, the gray-headed men who go to theatres tell me he was 3 great actor, and T am bound to be- lieve them. At least I know that he was a hig yk-cnhv!hd man,’and, in that respect, very un- 1 like . . _THE ACTOR OF THE PRESENT DAY, who is remarkable for nothini 80 much 28 his mental barrenness. I have often wondered how an educated, well-read like Mr. Phelps, regards the’ society in which st fmis T 1 necessarily flung. There are exceptions of course, bat most” actors and actresses whom I lmow haye s singularly. limited range. An sctor liko Mr. Jrving.is in the oddest contrast. He is familiar with the literature and art of the past and the present; but those around him bave little of either, and their talk ia very frivolous.. One of the trangest things in life is the. muion one sometimes sees of the dramstic ~powor_ with sceming _stupidity. At rohearsals I have talked “with actors and actresses about the ghy; and have seen fetty clearly that they did_not ‘understand the oughts which they wonld -have to express ; sud snddenly one bas gone on to the stage to take his or her part, and then yon could have mndecided cases, and it is amusing to note how jevery writer thronghout the landcbalsnces his phrases n3 he treats of the Tichborne trial; but nothing I can say at Chicago can injure him ; o I observe, emphatically, that this big, coarse et of the crowd is s perjurer; and a particularly wevil-minded, unscrupulous scoundrel. He haa ‘destroyed the, happinees of en innocent lady, ‘mod haslied with a malice that doubles the guilt of his'liea. But listen to the shonts of “Hooray! ‘Hoorsy! Bravo! Bravo!” from the masg of well- dresned people in Westminster Palice-yard this ‘afternoon! ' Watch: how elowly the neat little ‘brougham threads its line through the hoarse and excited throngs! Either they or I must . be _duped. Oddly does this wumn- precedented csuse illustrate the fact that the press and the public are sometimes strange- ly st issne. Thero is not, I believe, one news- paper in the United Kingdom which sympathizes with the defendant; and yet I am certain that, in every Iarge town in England, his sympathizers are in the majority. The reasons are varions,— the one which weighs most being the fact that ‘Lady Tichborne declared him to be her son. ‘That she was & weak, half-crazed old lady, with strong determination to find her son somehow, weighs nothing with them. ** Oughtn’t his own zootber to know ?” Other minds picture him as contending eingle-handed agamst a combined “host of aristocratic enemies, and. the gquea- tion of his guilt is forgotten in consideration of the inequality of the struggle. . Meanwhile, the reports of the proceedings cover the pages of tho newspapers, to the exclusion of almost everything but advertisements. Peopls net Tichborne-mad are in angry disgust. All their favorite bits of reading are gone. Nore- ~views or fine-art motices; criticisms upon the opera and the drama reduced to tho briefest record; letters from New York, Viensa, Paris, and Madrid ignominiously throwninto the waste- paper basket. But the majority prefer the tricl, 2nd the sale of the morning papers is said to ba Ligher at the present moment than at any period £nce the wer.

A short time ago, Mr Oliphant married, and the news o tol3 that the newly-wadded ¢ouple intended to wipe the dust of Europe from their feet and to fix their abode in the distant regions of the deloctable and. philns_om ‘Harris. It appears, however, that 3ir. Oliphant stops st Newfound- 1and on hia way, to do_the stroke of work to which I have referred.

I ask this question in view of the fact that there are men still on the force (in spite of the weeding process of Superintendent Washburn) who seem to ‘possess but one of these qualifications, namely : strength,—and that not uniformly used in the right direction. Are the Police Commissionsrs of one mind as to what should constitute & good policeman.

The St. Paul Company’s Refusal of _ the La.nd-(-‘:‘mnt. More Comments of the Press. From the La Crosse Demacrat, ‘By refnsfng the land-grant, after mang 60 ‘many promises to the Legislature, the St. Paul Company struck tho State of Wisconsin a stag- ering blow, which it will be a long time recover- ing from, - It Lins beon from the first a deliborato attempt to rob the State of from $5.000,000 to 12,000,000 It cannol bo looked upon in any other light. First—The St, Paul Cm:{my never intended to build the land-grant ror = Second—The 8t. Paul Campl.mg never intended that any other company should build the road, it they could help it. Third—The Bt. Paul Company intended to fool along until the State Siould o3 the grant en- tirely. Al{ these arguments were used before the Legislature, by members and by newspapers, to couvines that body that the St.Paul Company wza a fraud. Many were convinced and voted to give the grant to Baldwin. Others were con- vinced, but did not darc to vote against the St. Poul Bailroad. Every claim made by opponenta of the St. Paul Road at_Madison, has proved to bo troe. And the St. Paul Company stands be- foro the people & perjured company, and its officers and attorneys are looked upom as the verlest tricksters, with no honor sbout them. The Hudson Democrat, whose editor, for some unoxplained roason, was sn ardent St. Paul Railroad lobbyist, says : If non-acceptance has, indeed, been determined Illocny the execrations of » State ought to, and will, fol- the promise breakers, < The Company now claims that it cannot bor- row money to build. The Wisconsin says During the discuasion, Otis H, Waldo, one of the at- torneyn of the St. Paul Company, gave public assur- ances to the Railruad Committee, that that Company i to take the grant,and able to build the ways. Some thinlk the North Wisconsin Compsny will get the grant now without s struggle. Wo do not think so. The St. Paul Company is not dead yot, as will bo seen. ‘Lhe News says : A new company fa much talked abont, and it fs also suggested that an extra session of the Legislatura may ‘be called to amend the act, Off the butside lines required to be built, and putting it within the reach of 3 company with moderate capital and resources. Tho sbove paragraph mesns that the St. Paul managers will lay the lzineu for the organization ata wild-cat compaay to assept tho grat, sad they will go into the Legislaturo and instruct thelr tools to voto the grant to the new com- any, instesd of the Baldwin company. eady willing tools of the 8t. Paul Company havebeen collected in Milwaukee, t0 put up some job on the people. Thoy will do anything under God's heavens to prevent the grant gfi_&ng 0 any company that will build the rosd. If it is given to the new company organized under the wing of tho St."Paul ot Mobilier, " six! days more will expire, an that compaty wi find out that muney is scarce, aud the grant will be given up, and then it will bo too late for any company to take it. o, :s[red&l session of the ]Eeggfl‘l‘m is order- st an enormons expenso (which expense, 56 g onght 1o e Dol by 1hG S ek Rateond Company), the members should give the grsnt directly to'tho North Wisconsin Company, and it tho 5t.

Tt is said by the Milwaukee News, that the res- ident Directors of Wisconsin are very much mor- tified in being overruled by Eastern men. It was a daily bosst of these resident lobbyiats, while the bill was pending, that the Milwaukeo & Bt. Paul Road was a Wisconsin institution, while the Northwestern was not. It geems by the Eastern Directore controlling this road, that while tho track is laid in Wisconsin, it is owned and con- trolled out of the State. We presume the resi- dent Directors do feel mortified, and it shounld teach them hereafter to not be too zealous in crowding through legislation. Whenever this company want any fature legislation, lot them enter into bonds to carry out the provisions of soy bill they ask for. From the Racins Jowrnal. _ Ana 50 the St. Paul Company has given up the” 1and-grab that was dedicated to them by the Leg- islative Railroad Convention assembled at Madi- gon last winter. This is the second time that company has_done the same thivg ; and if we elect a railroad conyention instead of a Legisla~ ture, next year, the probably get it again. G(Spu‘:kixi&of the o 3: ga Compm{h that ov. Washburn was prejudiced sgainst the: the Journal adds :} g Yes, the people sre beginning to kick against being skinned alive; and Gov. Washburn would probably compel the Company to perform what they promised—a thing they neverin- tended fo do. 2 From the Portage Register. This condition of affairs will carry much dis- appointment to the people of the northwestern part of the State, who been made excoed- ingly jubilant over the prospects, and. the il waukeo & St. Paul Company will find it very dif- ficult to satisfy the °Z§I° who havo been so groasly deceived. e Company did not in- tend to build the road, why wereita sgents so clamorous to obtain the ? Many explsna- tions will be offered, but none of them will be eatisfactory, weapine. §The agents of the Com- pany had noright to assume to represont it ) iudxm, unless they were clol od with authority to do_so. It would have been an easy matter to have convened the Board of Directors and agreed upon what terms they would receive tho grant. As it is, the Company will stand in the gg!ifinn of one that has trified with the Btate of Wisconsin, and it must redound greatly fo its disadvantsge. No matter whatthe facts are, the Company will have to rest under the suspicion of having obtained the grant for fho purpose of defesting the building of the r0ad, and that is & position that It can iy aford t0 occupy. It will also rest under the suspicion of having obtained the grant for the purposs of enbancing the 7alue of its stock under the infitenco of it, snd thus enabling cerfain partics to “unload” _the o smounts they were carrying, It will remembered that the stock of the Company immodistely sdvanced from 51 to 60 under the stimulus it received from the grant. It would be a bit of desirable information to know who held thé stock at 51, and who holds it now. The Obicago & Northwestern will come in for s part of the public censare, for tho improssion is gen- eral that the two_companics were *cohoots ™ tho affair; at the Iatter ond, under an agroement that the Chicago & Superior Alr Line was to be killed off, and & further agreement that they vould cedso competition-and go in snd “ pool their earnings.” Circumstances which have re- cently tradspired give a color of ymbnbfli:fl to the reports, and carry the conviction that there ‘was 1o good faith in"the matter at all. _We shall not be surprised to see a special ses- sion of the Legislature called to consider this matter. If 8o, we ehall hope to see such a dis- position made 0f it a8 will hiasten the building of the Chicago Air Line Railrosd, which will have the effect, in some degree, to lessen the damage about to be inflicted on the State by the consoli- dation of the Milwaukee & 8t. Psul and Chicago & Northwestern Roads, by giving the public an independent line to Chicago. From the Waukesha Freeman. 2 It is now suthoritatively atated that the Si. Paul Railrond Company has refused fo accept the 8t, Croix land-grant on the terms which were eed to bofore the Legislature last winter. In view of the fact that the grant counld have been otherwise advantageonsly dis) of had not the Bt. Paul Compan; @ the pledges it id, such an action would seom to be 28 near a ewindle as is usually attained withont legal lia- bility. What makes the business- more_provol- ing 18 tho virtual congolidation of tho St. Panl and Northwestern Companies, which places Wis- consin directly under the heel of s monster monopoly. It is etill possible, however, that we may come out all right, but it is unplessant to see the power which can make eve ing wrong vestod in & single corporation. From the Madison Journal. . Ninety days ago Madison was the scene of an intense struggle. The lobbies were crowded with men from distant parts of the” State, brought here to influence members of the Legis- Iatore. Excited and angry disoussions were held in the hotels, streets, rotunds, and lobbios, and it is alleged that every known appliance was used to influence votes and secure Bt. Croix Iand-grant. No contest in the history of the State ever produced more excitement than this, Men were vilified, brow-beaten, and coaxed, and when it seemed settled with & majority it was idlo to argue. - All.attempts to amend the bill were resisted by ‘the succossful ty.

The seseion was Elr:rlnngeu for medl by tho bitter contest: The incroased tax and gen- eral burden on the Treasury is, in addition, to the El‘elt detriment to tho sections of tho State to e opened by the pm?snd roads, The question™is asked why there was such s contest for what is now declined. There arc 8oV explanations. One is that the passageof the bill was an immense stook-jobbing operation. The manipulators owned great quantities of Mil- waukee & Bt. Paul stock. It was worth about fifty-one cents on a dollar before the bill passed. After the grant waa offered the Company a great ado was made over the value of the land, and the stock went up to fifty-nine or sixty cents. It will be sesn how those Owning large quantities of the stock conld. have sold and realized hundreds of thousands of dollars on the_rise, and_then, just before tho grant was rejocted, might hava sold *'ehort” and made immense sums on the 1If this programme ‘was carried out, the Legisla~ ture was used as the mere tool of stock-job) Another explanation is that ' the Company is opposed totha construction of the {‘x:powl road bacause it would bo a’competing line, and it adopted the dog-in-the-manger policy to pre- vent another company from getting the grant. ‘While we deeply xegret that the roads are not to be built, we derive some comfort from the re- flection that fature Legislatures will profit by the Tecent lesson, and legislato for the people re- gardless of the Ciamneg of the lobby.

Other houses were visited, and then the results of the eearch can- vasgod. Suspicion fell upon Harness, (now in arrest) ‘but not one of all the party entertained any idea that tho Benders were a party to the murders, One perzon thought the county authorities have shown neglect in prosecuting inquiries while dissppearances were of such {requent oo~ currence. . The apathy of the whole community was a mattcr=of atanding wonder to the Colonel. “Look at that woman,” said he, ‘“who was offered an array of knives and pistols for supper, and whose life was to d:iend upon the resnit of spiritnal incantations ; she fled to 8 neighbor for ehelter, but no complaint was made by this man of the suspicious practices of the family.

That she rompted the murders thers was no doubt. {¥hen a stranger enterod, the spirits wonld tell whether money was in his possessicn or not, snd on a sign from her, preparstions would be mado to dispose of the visitors. ,But her power of divination frequently failed her, as several of the victims are known tohave been almost penniless. ‘Longchor, the Iows farmer, had not over $20; the Llinoia soldier, McKinzsy, had borrowed & dollar m‘y;ay his way to Parsons; Brown, of.

It presents the appearance of milk and water with a froth like 2 souileo on the top. This toddy seller under- takes to make poople drunk by contract; four annss, or sixpence sterling, is the usual price for & strong-hesded person.

Anteresting Details of an Extinordis 4 nary Crimc. Russellville, Xy., May 13, Co ndence of the Cir e O e s o e Cin- Tho trial of William_Webb, for the murder of Champ S, Boasloy in December, 1871, has just concluded, the jury having rendered a yerdict of gflilf!. ‘The details of the murder as developed y the trial have not becn made public. The parties were men of familios residing half mile apart, nine miles from Ruseellvillo. Bensley had a daughter named Rebeccs, aged 16, and Webb had » -fon named Chris~ topher Columbus, 'aged 24, who were .en~ agod {0 be married. Bedsley's family ob- §ociod to tho marriage onscevaat of © Hoo] and position, and tho girls {ather determined that the marriage should not tako placo. Thia determination was strongthened by the fact that the old man Woebb (the prisonor) had made & contract with, 8 family of megroes that bis son Gohimbus and his to-be daughter-in-law shonld Live with them, Rebeces doing the cooking and ‘Washing for the negro family. Rebeccs was aware of tho contract, and had assented o it. On the fatal dsy, Christmas, 1871, Mr. Beas~ loy, returning from s hog hunt, found- that his' danghter had left Home ond, ss he soon learned, had gome tothe house of the | elder Weeb (tho prisoner), where the marriage bad been amranged for. Ho immediately started for his neighbor’s, followed by two or threo neighbors, who stopped a few bundred yards from Webb's house, Beasley sssiag to themm, *Wait, boys, aud I will go akioad and put the fhing thionghin s fow minutes.” Ho- was wholly unarmed.

The prices of champagne, burgundy; and claret remain about the ssmo yoar after year withus. Our wine merchants and import- ‘ers already charge prices. 80> bigh that there is not much-room for- any inorease; and as tie hotel and rostsurant. keopera exact 100 per cent in addition to the wine merchant's price, any in- crenge nbove what we sre used to pay would only result in & more limited cansumption. - For- tunately the maximum hss been reached i America as far 88 the prices of Wines are con- cerned. < e - R NEWS PARAGRAPHS.

The particular point is, that the forms of liberty and the reality of liberty are not necessarily commensurate. He finds sufficient proof of this in the present con- dition of the Eastarn States, withont going back to the early days of Californis, or even resorting to the contemporsneous West, *where o white woman is burnt to death for marrying a negro, where secret gangs murder in tho night men whose conduct they disliko, whers mobs stop trains to lynch offending persons contained in them, where the carrying of s revolver ia a mat- ter of conrse, where judges aro intimidated, and the execution of Justice often impracticable,” He merely alludes to these Western practicea as showing how intolerably people can bo oppressed while nomivally living under free institu- tions. But ot the East he finds men sit- ting in judgment on their own cases and ap- plauded for doing s0; justice tainted by gifts; ‘municipalities robbed and. misgoverned by the civic servants; financial frauds, the victims of which are principally without remedy; citizens gaining nnfair advantages over other citizens by “lobbying in Credit Mobilier briberies;”. & ruling class of _professional _politicisns, whoso aim 18 to make monay, and whose inter- ests are, thereforo, by no mesns identical with the public interests. “ While the outside form of fres government remains” says Mr. Bpencer, ‘‘there has grown up within it a reality which makes government not free, The worshipof the sppliances to liberty, inplace of liberty itself, needs continnally ex- osing. There is no_intrinsic virtue in votes. e possession of Representatives is not in itself a benefit. Theso are but means to an end; and the end is the maintenance of those condi- tions nnder which ench citizen may carry on his life without further hindrances from other citi~ zens than are involved by their equal claims— tho securing to each citizen all such beneficial bm' €8 of his sctivities as his activities naturally ring.” : B — The Pigcon Busine: «From the Winona (3inn.) Republican, Within the past few days large numbers of igeon-trappers have been coming into the State om Tlinois, Wisconain, and other States east of us, following up the flocks of pigeons and trapping them for the Eastern markets. It is a rogular matter of business, and & moat profitable one, too, if the statoments of the, trappers may ‘be relied upon. . How can’ it be otherwise, .when it is estimated that . Bundred trappers have gone out on the Winona & St. Peter fi:fl- road within’ the past week, and still thoy come! Kasson sppears to be the chiof centre. just now, althongh the hunters scatter along at_neighbor- ing ‘stations from there a8 far east as Rochester, striking n§ into_the woods along the Zombro, over by Pine Ialand, Oronoco, and vicinity. Wherover the pigeons are thers sre the trappers gatherod together with their wiles, their decays, and nets, catching the birds by the hundreds and shipping them by the barrel, to tickle the palates of Emtcrnammmu. ) 3 From Mr. Enight, the express agent at this place, wo learn that ‘the first shipment ‘of pigeons for the messon came east by expresd, from Kasson, Inst Thureday, tho Bth inst., and. consiated of ton barrels. BSifice then the ship- ‘ments have increasod dsily, justifying the infer- ence that the trappers aro doing. s land-office ‘business. On Monday, twenty-five barrels came down ; Tuesday, thirty-eight ; Wednesday. forty~ four; 'and 80 it will probably keep up for several days, until the pigeons fly to felds and (mis)for- tunes new, only to be followed by the ‘‘onward march of civilizetion.” _————— The Wine Crop in France, N From the New York Sun. On thie nights of the 25th, 26th, and 27th of April, & severs frost ruined the vintage for. this ear in many parts of France and destroyed the opes of the wine-growers in a prosperous harveet. 5 At Villefranche, in Beaujolais, the thermome- ter eank to four degrees below zero. Not a bud escaped in many places. In the lowlands all the vines were deatroyed, but on the most elevated of the hill sides, whers they were exposed to the wind, the destruction was comparatively elight. The fnost promising of the vines, those which had been trimmed and were the most advanced, were utterly loat. 5 In this region the apricot trees were also much ed. At Dijon, in Lower Burgundy, three ers %mou\'lpj ’;mbam;u&-ingmmgdm . 3 rom which the poj ur; ines,Chambertin and Cios Yougaot, are prassed, were fouched by the frost. In Beaune and Moursault the losa ia estimated at from one-third to one-half of the vintage, de~ pendent, upon the situstion of the vineyards, Thoge in the lowlands, that is in the valleys or {far down on the hill-slopes, suffered most. Some buds wezs entirely blackened, while oth- ers of the same size and apparent hardiness were left untouched by the sids of the withered ones. The vines of porous nature wero as a rule com- pletely destroyed, while those of harder surface made a better resistance. Tn the neighborhood of Lyona and in Langue- 1 a0c the loss was great.

The grand old altar of St. Philip was illuminated in o blaze of wax tapers, whilo the Archbishop and his abbes in full pontificals stood ready to g:fl'nm the ceremony.
