The consequence waa that,tho whole army immediately became a school, it appeara that the defeat of Capt, Bogardus, the famous pigeon-shiot, by a Callfornia amateur was not such o falr test of the rolative merits of the contestants as has been supposed. The referee, according to the Chronlele's report, was both ix- norant and prejudiced, and the latter part of the match was shot in almont total darkness, whon the e)l:mnni of luck prevailed mure largely than that of kit The New York iForld printa a liet of the princi- pal bequests to educational institutions of tho highet clngn in the United States doring the last half-year.

The facts speak well for the liberality of wealthy Americans in this dircction, which sp Impressed Prof. Huxley during his recent visit, and which has stlll more recently been conspieuously men- tioned by Pr, Peterman, the eminent Germean go- ographer. ‘The Parish will-case In Ponghkecpsle, N, Y., grows out of a eerfous misunderstanding between awealthy gentleman and his wife as to the pro- priety and advisabllity of adopting o beautiful young girl of 17, The fatherly affcction of Mr. Parlsh for his new daughter became 80 oxcessive that his wife left bim, The desorted husband and tha falthfnl daughtor managed, however, to make themselves comfortable, travellng together and belng conatant companions.

A fow days ago we In- dicated that Russla wonld abandon her design for tho occupation of Bulgaria, If the conferencoahould provide some other effective guarantee, snd wo also mentioned the snggestion that the daty of police #hould be nndertaken by the troops of some of the small States, like Belglum. Wo have yel tosce ‘whother Belgium will consent to undertake so del- jeato s task; but In the mers fact that tho Powers will allow such n scheme to be laid before the Con- ference, we find a atriking itlustration of tho distance to which the frlends us well as tho enc- mics of Turkey have been driven by the forco of cvents. Itmay be aald that such argmnents are futlle because they Jeave out of account tho will of Turkey heraelf," but the Zimes thinks that un- campromising resistance on the part of Turkey Is out of the question if she bo not pormitted to be- Jleve that she would have England's support in caseof a confiict, The nrticle concludes as followas: **Ifihe Marqufs of Sallsbury shonld be fustructed to 10} the Forts that it would forfeit the support of England by nuncompromising resistance, tho new Grand Vizler would, we belleve, sce tho necesalty of submission, and the lasting danger of a war ‘wonld pass away.

'The Moros took & poajtion, and as the gunin her turret was belng loaded, s shell accl- dentally exploded, s¢riously wounding ono Ensign and four sallors, and slightly wounding scven others. The scntries from the fort again fired thelr muskets, supposing that the monitor was firing on tho fort. Prince Milan sent Minfater Ttistics to the Austrian Consul with spologies, and informing him that tho Commaader of the fort had been dismissed.

In some places it was still doing well, but in others it woald peg out unless rain camo very soon. JIle thought that possibly onc- third the total crop was already sown upon sum- mer-fallowed lands, and that at lenst half this was suffering, while upon tho other two-thirds of the acreage In the State plowing was being materially interfored with by tbe drought., Late rains might 10 tuc heads, but only a vigorous plant would produce o good head, and a suficlency of eatly rain was cesential to the plant's vigor. The northern portion of the Statc had had more rain, and there crops wore looking well. A farmer of Merced County, who TILLED 13,000 ACRES, #nid it all looked first-rate until within a week ago, but now, unless rain came within & week or ten days, a great portion would belost. Another from the same county said that his plowing had not been much foterfered with, and that he had been able to keepalong, Ho would sow when tha firat ralna came, and, if they came by January, It would be time enough for him. Ia thought, loo, that the grain slready sown counld, in most places, stand more drought, aud Le steadily pinned his faith on Grain sown in October AN OLD BAYING which he sententiously expressed, that, fn the Ban Joaquin Valley, when frost comes before rain, 8 dry season follows. but when rain comes before frost there fa no danger. This year the raln came first, and the falth that was in him evidently sus- tained um through this temporary trial.

A brilllant assembly gathered at Haverly's The- atre last night to witness tho firat presentation In this city of **Twelfth Night.” The meritof the comedy has scrved in some measure to keep it off the mtage. The last and perhaps the most cx- quisitely-delicatefof Shakspeare's comedles, it re- qulres for fts proper production a wealth of re- sources that fow modern compantes, and particu- Iarly few provinclal companies, can boaat of, For this reason, and becanse few lndics con be found cotnpetent to embody tho character of J7ola, tho play has been, as if by common consent, consigned to the closet. It has, however, been properly drawn forth from ita retirement by Miss Netlson, ‘whoso very satiafactory acting of the part of Viola I in Hself an excaro for any violence that may be done to tho other parta of the play by Inferfor actors in the cast with her. Nor, singularly enougl, docs it appear that the vlolence done In this lnstance was 20 great maln tho case of ** Romeo and Juliet." Thero was less bad acting in tho strange play than in the amiliar ono. It the Duke nnd the Friar might have been thrown out, it could huve been said that the act- ing. an o wholo, was at Jeast sufficlent to convey an adequato conception of the poet's intentlon; and much less grudging pralse might be bestowed upon some of the actors. Mies Nellson's bility to deal fn a faclle and graceful way with Shakspearean comedy cannot be disputed by any onc who has seen her Rosalind, and has been abla to Judge intelligently of fine act- ing whon he has seen it. Bhe is the esscnce of the volatile and tonder spicit which pervades the finer comedy-characterizations among the women of Bhakepeare. ller mirth, her enrnest. ness, her elmplicity, the charm of her counte- nance and of herapcech—allcontributo tothe image of & woman such as only the genius of the master- dramatist could have conceived, 8he read the 1nes with nuch Intelligence and wit! ndant il- Instration of poude, emph and gesture. The scone with Oliviaat the close of the fAirst act was given with b'mm and_ spirit. The passage io the second act between tho Duke and Viola was also illustrated, su far as the lattor wae concerned, with the power ol a skiliful artist, able to preserve a perspective while setdown degenerating into mo- notony or feebleness, The light and shado of the well-worn linea beginnlng, Slie never told her!avi.

The castaf the opers wag somewhat changed from that in former representationa by this troupe, and the rosalt was that it was not given with that ease and smooth- ness which Lave usually characterized There waa a want of confidence and scveral slips upon the part of two or three of the artlets, which gave to the performance that appearance of effort and uncertalnty which detract so much from the enjoy- mont of the listoncr, Mr, Conly, who was new In the rola of Doctor Bawolo, came near belng wrecked in his principal number, the ** Darling Vengeance, by loring asyeral notes, and In the finale of the sccond act, where so much depends upon absolute precision In the chopped-up tempos, was too un- certain to #ll in the quartetie properly which s off- tet witheuch consummate skill sgatnst the trio, Tho same lack: of certalnty also characterlzed Mr. Turner in the role of Don Basilio, who, In addi- tion to the novelty of his score, had a difficalt, cccentric part to piay.
