Among the nugicrous witneascs called was one who answered to the name of John W. Braddock. Ho was placed on the stand, and, while belngr handled by tho law- yere, ho unconsciously becamie an object of the profound {nterest and study of Clty-Marshal CGutbrle, who happened to be fn the court-room. Tihis officer had but receutly received from the Bherllf of Misslasippi Cuunty, Ark:, a printed hond-bill giving a full de- scription of and offering & reward for the capturo of onc Jolin Summers, the nurder- erof Jushua Kindle, which oce@irred In that voun!fl two years ago, ‘The deseription n the i1l exactly fitted the witness. The City Marshal mentioned the subject to Bhertff Yost, who liad also rezelved one of tho priuted bills, and the Judgment of that offiver agreed with that which he blmsell lhud formed, When, therefore, tho witness net'nm] from the stand, e was duly looked ofter by the oflicers named, A DLlack spot on the lew neor the kuee was needed to conflrm the susptefous, and, when this was dMscovered, it was Braddock’s defeat. No doubt was left that the person was tho identical John Summers described by the Arkavsas Sherift as the murderer of Joshua Kindle. As it to odd to the distress of his sit- uatlon, the unlucky witness proved to be the Johin W, Braddock who some threo vears ngo escaped from our Coutity Jall, where ho Lad Ueen confliied on the chargo of lurcony, ant wlio 1up to-duy had cnjoyed s Mbert 7 almost, if not entirely, forgotten, He was lodpred tn stronger prison quarters than thoss which s skill had formerly overcome. .

Played by a mediocre troupe, and with a Deborah who {a not **all that could be desired,” it becomes an exceedingly lugubrions pleco of theatrleal work, In which the apectator 1 continually reminded of the bald realities of the stagse,and made ta forget tho sublimo poasl- bilitice of art, There are at ieast four personages In this drama who are_ealled upon to represent im-. portant rules,—the Lerolne, Deboruh, tie apustate dew, the lover, Joseph, and tho loveress, lannaA, ‘Then there ia the tomlc doctor, the grave and reverend magisteate, the ol Hebrew prophet, and & few people of minor fmportance, all of wham comblne ta forin o yery, picturesque group when artistically urranged. 1t would be a hard mstter to decide an to whers the principal fault lay in tho representation of Jast cvening, which we have no hesitation in characterizing as the tamest perform- ance of (thls piny wo have ever bhad the privilege to witnena, With the exception of theleading laay heeself, and Me, Jo Whitineg, Mr, ight, and Mles RRose Oehiorn, 1the members of the company di1d nut appear to have any idea of the characters they were supposed to represent, It was evidently unc of thess hastily put up perform. ances which shonld o rejected by first.ciass man- agers, and denounced an an imposltion upon the iniciligence of the publie, and an injury to tions “of the repute of splring artista like Mme.

Mme, Von Stamwitz only recalla the grest German tragedienne in a pecaliarity of ute terance, Her delineation of the foresken Jewens ina very laborious cilort, bt colorlese, passion- lens, never reschiny the seat of emotion. Golng n\vl{ from guch & perfurmance, one can mercly recall a few atatnesquo attitudes, but not the re- mambranco of a thrill of emation suchasa queen of tragedy 1 supposed to cominunicate to her audience.
