Edwin Booth at ** The Boston"” Now and Ten Years Ago. The Boston Boy’s Critique on Booth and Fechter. Mary and Her Little Lamb at the Old South. From Our Oten Correspondent. BosTON, March 19.—~The Rev. Joseph Cook bas made a new departure. Instead of fighting the facts of Science, aud proving to his own su- preme sstisfaction that there is mothing in Natare’s mysteries, nothing in the last results of sclentific inquiry, that he, the Rev. Joseph, cannot solve, and explain, and fit to the theories of the Monday lectureship, he has uudertaken 0 enlighten the community upon the marriage question. Of course it {5 to be cxpected that e is oracular and authoritative upon the subject. It wonldn't be the Rev. Joseph otberwise. And of course it is not at all inconsistent that it was only last year that the reverend gentlemnan gave up his bachelorhood and entered into the holy state of matrimony. If he was 5o confident of his power to lead aud guide doubtful and wan- dering souls out of the foz of questioning infi- delity, ana able to break open the stone walls of the spiritual mysterics, I don’t ece why he shonld not be much more ready to guide and teach the wanderers who need guidanee—or whom he thinks need guidance—in matters of this world where he does bappen to have some little experience. «Joe Cook, " suid somebody waggishly the other day, *‘hasbecn setting us all right for some time pastonthe Heaven and Hell question of the otker world, without giving his credentials to such superior knowledge. Now, when he sets us in the right track on the same question here, we shall begin to think he has some little claim to preach at us.” One sentence in this lectare is going the rounds, and making no end of fun by its grave and solemn grandiloquence—for we are all familiar enough with Mr. Cook’s style to hear in the sentence the tone and majesty with ‘which he invarisbly invests the simplest state- ment of the most commonplace fact. But HERE IS THE SENTENC “If there is any young man fn this audience sbout to be married to & young woman near his own age, that future wife is now living some- ‘where upon the earth.” And the best of this {s, that when it {s uttered with that great voice, aud with that great manner, the listeners seem to think a very great thing has been said, when in fact only ihe simplest of statements has been made. Iwonderif hisadmirers and fol- lowers ever think, on reading some of the re- portsof his lectures, thatthe sentences do not by any means look the same in print asthey sounded. 1rom his lips when he was in the midst of his subject and in the midst of his grand manucr. However, his last lecture, I have no doubt, was received by his admirers and followers with the ‘usnal solemn belief that it was the finest pro- duction in the way of a lecturc that has been given this scason, ard as full of eloquent wis- dom, whereby the public arc to be carried along 1uto higher and better ways, as the biologiz talk of the past season—which not eveu the follow- ers could folly understand—was supposed to settle all the old vexed questions and put to rest. the donbt and disbelief of the day. And, while the Monday Lecturcship Is on this new track, and drawing alittle freshness of in- terest from its singularity, which the Jecturer may ot be entirely’ innocent of invoking pur- posely, at the playhouses there is a kind of in- terest and a kind of audience which does not need any bolstering up from any sineularity of plot or acting. Somebady Ilately, in view of the tricks of trade in most things at the present dn);; satd—and T think with a good deal of truth ~that . LESS SHAM WAS POUND UTON THE STAGE ‘now than anvwhere else. 1t is very certain that in o profession, 1o art, is there a greater striv- ing, & harder study for the attainment of per- fection, than among actors. And inno other profession is there so little toleration of imper- Tection. We have no end of bad pictures, of trumpery writing, miscalled literature, of fa'se compositions, badly rendered, under the name of music,—all of which the public accept with sounding applanse,—and no end of wise talk, without the faintest idea that the false is being taken for tbe true. But let any one of these humbugged persons, these happy victims, zo into the theatres aud become one of the andi- ence, and straightway they become also reason- ably clearsighted and open to impressions of Naiure and truth. Asa rale, they know at once when a thing is overdone, when repression is carried too far, or when talent is made to do thework of genius. Sothern, and Booth, and Jefferson, never won their lsurels by any arti- ficial means, any borns claims, _any fashion of taste. They stand where they do precisely on their own merits as trutkful delineators of ci:u’- acter. And this brings me to Edwin Booth’s delinea- tions at the Boston just now. He is not draw- ing very large audiénces, but they are culti- vated ones. There was a £ood deal of curiosity 1o see TAE NEW VERSION OF TIE FLAY OF RICHARD i L. — Mr, Bocth’s version. The satisfaction, which “was pretty generally expressed after the repre- sentation, went beyond the faultfinding, which Jatter makes a point of censure in_omitting the scene where Gloster meets the_young Pririce of Wales and the Duke of York. Almost every one criticises Mr. Booth’s staginess on oces- slons. Eignt or ten vears ago this critlcism was scarcely thought of here in connection with Booth. The general admission of it now shows the progress of caltivation in the right dircc- tion,—that of naturaluess. But he has changed himself notably in geveral directions in this matter. In Hamlet, for instance, there is much less of the declamatory than there used to be; &nd there {5 room for improvement yet. I well remember my first sizht of Mr. Booth in Ham- let. It wasten or twelve years ago at the Bos- ton Thestre. I had bestd for a long time nothing. but praises of Booth's Hamlet, I Dever bad caught a note of eriti- cism.. Boston then, especisily bnston young ‘women, were Booth-mad. They sent him notes of sdmiration, which he never read; they inun- dated him with flowers; they bought his pict- ares by the dozen; and they epent every cent of their pocket-mone)’ fn oing to Lhe matinee per- formguces when he was to act. It wasat one of these matinecs, with one of these very youns women, that I first saw Mr. Booth. 1 fally ex- pected tobe * carried away ”’ with admiration, to give in my allegiance with the rest of the young Women; and several times I thought I was al most there. But it was of nouse. And pres- cutly, when the blue-and-silver shost appears, and Hamlet goes down upon bis knees, and thus - scrambles abont in bis frenzy, 1 zave it up, and ‘boldly declared that if *To be or not to be” an admirer of Mr. Booth’s Hamlet was to be a test of taste in Boston, I must abide by the conse- &xenm and take a back seat at once. 1 lived rough the storm of denunciation; and it is funny now to hear some of these same people 1alk coolly of Mr. Booth's ** improvement » o these very points. BVERY TIME M1 BOOTH COMES TO BOSTON It briugs back, very natarally, the Fechter days, when there avas such anexcitement and so nuch {: d_cowparison of Booth’s and l:ed}fer s Hamiet. wAn admirer of both says 1}_ ;31 aptly that “Booth. works with ideds, ter with emotions.” Five or six years ao when Fechter was here, a small boy made thiy critical comparison between Booth and Feclter, Jrhien, by the was, fs onc of thebest things thah erer been said. He stood looking atthe photoiraphs of Fechter as Jiamlet whigh were on exhibition in a Washington street win- dow. A lady, stovping for the same burpose, noted her smail nelihbor's interest, and quee: tioned him. Had he seen Fechter acti O, yes* *In Hamle 17 “Yeg Had he secn Booth in Hamlet ? He had. ‘Which dia he like best? “0Oh! Fechter: a great deal better. HE GETS 50 MUCH MADDER! This is a fact. I could not put my finger upon the boy now or ever, for he Was a stranger; but Leould, very easily, upon the other party to the conversation. It is pretty good criticism, and fits in finely with the emotional idea: at the same time teli- ing & pretty good story of the smart small boy T thing in Boston. Think now of “Mary and r little Janb,” which mavy of us fancied came g:l of the remote “* Mother Gonsc"’.{yust, being actually not only traced back to quite a neigh- borly period, buz Mary herself—the real live .\luy—rs to be found at'the Old South, contrib- uting to that everlasting fund. I don’t expect to be believed at the first blush: but it is really the fact. She is now a Mrs, Tyler, of Somer- ville,—a bright old lady of 70. When she was a little grirl her name was Mary Sawyer, and the lamb of the story was apet which she had brought up herself, aud which, following her to schiool one day and attracting the attention of a poetical young man who chanced to be present, wasthe foundation of theincident commemorated by the verses which are so familiar to us now. And here is the heroine of the verses selling yarn made from this lamb’s-wool for the Old South Fund. Up to last accounts the lamb had cleared $60 for the enterprise. Daily at the Old South the spinning-bee which I described in the carly part of the season still goes on TO SWELL THE FUND OF SALVATION. Up on Chestout street, on Monday morning, the Radical Club held its monthly meeting, and Prof. Everett, of Harvard, rcad a quiet paper on Nature, and the reason why the buman soul turned with such ardent love to its beauti- ful aspects, when the incxorable law of life was that of cunflict, the destruction of the weaker by the stronger. The chief reply which the Professor found to his question was in the fact of moreor lessconscious recognition of the freedom of the life of Nature, its identity with our own life, its fullhess, its divinity, and in the fact that the life prefigures a perfection to which we have not yet attatned. The discassion was brisk between Mr. Welss, Dr. Bortol, Prof. Hyatt, and otbers. And all the time, outside, Nature was showing anythin but a beantiful Aspect, with its Jowering and dismal sleet. 1t was one of Mark Twain’s well-described days of New England trickiness. The Club meetings will probably extend into May, the last onc coming close upon Anuiver- eary dags, Which, it is to be hoped, will bring toit gome of the far-away high lights like O. B. Frothipgham, and others of that ilk. N. P. CURRENT GOSSIP. BOTII SIDES OF THE SEA.

SOME NOTABLE DUELS. Patiadeiphia Tomes. Ireland is the home of the modern duel. It flourishies bere to an extent not dreamed of elsewhere. 1t was in lreland, and as late as 1512, too, that the Judge said from the sench, in a trial for murder in 2 duel, to his jury: “Gen- tlemeu. it is my business to lay down the law to you, and { will. The law says killing a man in = auel is murder, and I am bound to tell you that it is murder; therefore. in the discharge of my duty, I tell you s0; but at the same time T say to you that & fairer duel than this I never saw in the course of my tife.” 1f Ircland is the home of the Quel, Sir Jonah Barrington may be called the father of the code. s utterances upon this subject are law all over the world. Barrivgton himsclf had several duels. _He was once callea by a Mr. Daly to the field without ever bavingy scen him. When he reached tne ground Mr. Daly announced that Barrineton was nos the man ke had inteuded to challenze. Barrington insisted, however, upon proceeding as by Rule 7 of the code: “No apology can be received without exchanging shots aiter the parties have met.” He fired and wounded Mr. Daly, and then accepted his apolozy. At another time he went out to fight one McNally. His ball struck McNally, who instantly cried: “Iam hit.” But the ball had struck the buckle of his gallows and had not entered lis body. Thereupon Barrington said: “Yon arc the first rogue, McNally, that I ever saw saved by the gallows. Barrington survived all his duels. ~ John Philpot_Carran was exceedingly haopy on tne field, and usuaily weut into his **affairs lauchiny. He once foughta Mr. St. Ledger. He received his autagonist’s fire without flinch- ing. but did not return it. *“There Was mo ne- cessity formetodo so,” hesaid. “Iwasperfectly certain that he wonld die of fright at the report. of his own pistol.” On another occasion he went out to meet John Ezan, who s described as a great bully, and of enormous size. Ewan complained of the great disparity in their size, and said: **[ could as easily bit a razor-edgc as. ‘him, while he can take me as easily as a turf- stack.”” Curran, with an air of charming can- dor, advanced and said:. *I wish to take no ad- vantage that may be offcred me in your size. Therefore L am willing for asection of your body just_the size of mine to be chalked on you. And every ball that 1 lodge in you outside of the chalk lines skall count for nothing.” 0’Connell, the Liberator, fought one duel and killed his man. In a speech once he spoke of Dublin &s “a begrarly corporation.”” He was almost immediately served with a challenge from D'Esterre, a member from Dublin. O*Con- nell tried in several ways to avoid the meeting. The meeting, lowever, was insieted upon. When on tne field O’Connell made a speech in which he'said that the duel had been arranged by the political opposition to take him off. *“They have reckoned without their host,” he said, “for I am one of the best marksmen in Irclavd. T shall kill my opponent.” His words proved true. D’Esterre {cll at the first fire, mortally wounded. O'Councll bad one other ‘meeting (with Sir Robert Pecl), which, however, dia not come to shots. He always declined thereafter to accept a challenze. “ Having blood upon my hands,” be said, ** I bave regis- tered a vow in Heaven never to meet another mau in mortal combat.’ ‘The duel between the Duke of Buckingham and the Earl of Shrewebury is one of the most. remarkable in all the aouals. The Duke was convicted in sduitery with Lady Shurewsbury, and was by her husband called to the ficld. Kt the word ttie seconds as well as the principals became engaged. Shrewsbury and one of his seconds were killed. All the combatants were ‘wounded. 1t is said that Lady Shrewsbury saw the duel from a thicket near by, where, disguised as a page, sbe held a flect horse for her para- mour’s flight ju case he should deem it neces- sary to fly} that she was carried by Buckingham to his house on the nifim of the duel, and with ber own hands took off the clothes encrimsoned with her slain husband’s blovd. A well- accredited story s told of Felton, the fanatic who assassinated Bockingham. Felton challenzed a Royalist, who dectined to meet him. In order to conviuce his antagonist that he was possessed of the proper pirit, Fel- ton hacked off a piece of one of Lis own fingers and inclosed it with a second challenge. Horace Walpole, in Parliament, talking with Chetwynd, said: A year ago, Chetwvnd, you would have had me hanged.” “1 would stifl be glad to sec you get your deserts,” repled Chet- wynd. From thisbitof rlépnnect)lcy progressed until at length Chetwynd took Walpole by the arm and led him out into the lobby. Once there he ordered him to draw bhis sword. Walpole suggested 2 postponcment. ‘*No! no! here! now! now!” urged Chetwynd. And with this they fell to. Alter some quick and sharpfizht- inz Walpole ran him _through, only the inter- (c\Ienu: of a passing official preventing fatai re- sults. PRINCES® MERCEDES AT SCHOOL. From a Schooimaie's Letters, (n Scrivner's for Auril. The Princess was not formally introduced to us till after we haa gone into class, when the Superioress brought her in to show her ber seat. She had taken her hat off, and looked very shy and pretty as she came fn. Sbe scemed 1o bea 2o0d deal embarrassed ot facing so many gitls, and hung her head a little, and answered ina very low voice when she was spoken to, but her eyes looked up bright and full of intelligence. There is something very attractive about her: sbe is perfectly simple and unassoming. She took her eeat at ner desk, and Anne de G— showed her about her lessons and the ‘books she would nced. I had u good chance to examine the Princess as she sat directly in ?’unb of me. She is large and well-fortned for her age, and sits up very straight, though fihe. droops ber head s little, BHer complexion if\er fine aud clear, with a healthy tinge, and er_leatures are pleasing, especially the eyes, ¥hichare of & soft mray or hazel, with dark lashes, deep set, and very bright and full of ex- Ppression.

She wears it brushed tight to of intellectual Boston, who begins to oo to the theatre in frocks, and turns out a critic at 10 or 12 vears. -Butnoone need be surprised at anv ameer Der head and braided in two braids. which are f: tened low across the back of her head. Theo stie bas a very white throat and pretty-shaned cars, and altogether promises to develop into quite a handsome woman. Wehad been told before- hand by the nuns that we must call her “Madame.” It seemed a fanoyidea tocall such g little girl Madame, especially here, where we call each other by our first pames, whatever the difference in age orrank, but the nums didn’t think it right that we should be quite so familiar with a future Queen. 1 noticed, how- ever, that they themselves called her by her mame, * Mercedes.” At the 3 o'clock recreation, instead of going to the play-ground we had permission to walk up and down the alleys with Madume and show her the grounds, which we were delighted todo. We always like a walk, for then we can chatter to our hearts’ content, and after so many hours of study and silence, liberty to talk is what we most crave. But it turned out afterward that poor Madame was dreadfuily disappointed at there not being any games, as she was crazy to play with us. We had such a_shout at Louise R—. When the_rolls werc belng passed for lunch she was told to put one on toe Princess’ desk, and she looked up in sucha surorised way and asked, “But can she cat plain breadi™ Madame staid out with us till 6. We all like what we bave secn of her. She tries very hard to fall iuto all our ways, and was quite distressed at baving a chair when the rest of ‘us saton stools. The chair was not much to boast of, but she dido’t like bemng different in any way from the other girls. " EASTER IN GERMANY. St. Nichotas for Avril. “Qlook! look! all those pretty little Enster things in the window already!” exclaimed my little sister one day, as we passed onc of the largest confectionery stores in Stuttgart; and, true enough, though Lent was but haif over, there, they were, @ Dretty show. Eggs, of course, in quantities and of all slzes, from that of an_ostrich to a humming-bird’s made of chocolate or of sugar, and gayly decorated with little ribbons and pictures. Then there were fat lictie unfiedized chickens, some just emerging from their shells, some not an inch long, and others large as life: pure white lambs, with rib- bons and bells round_their necks; paste-ears, with hiofes at the ends, and, looking through, behold, a panorama inside! and eges with roses on une side, which, when blown ™ upon, emit a musical sound. But odder than all these were the gon!s{play- ing on guftars, or dracying behind them fairy- like egg-shaped carriages, with little hares gravely drivi nfi: and in others of these car- ringes were reclining one or two (zenerally two) baby hares, or a hare mother rocking her little oue in an eep eradle; there were sugar balloons, in the pasket of which hares watched over their nests full of egws; wheelbarrows full of caes, and trundled by a harc; and dninty buskets of flowers, with birds perched upon ench handle, cering down fnte nests of eggs half hidden amidst the blossoms. \When oue knows that each nest comes out, and forms the cover to a box of bonbons neatly concealed underneath, this pretty structure certalnly loses none of its at- tractivenes: Tn all directions signs of the approaching geason begin to appear. Every old womau in the market-place offers for salé a store of hard- boiled egas, smeared over with some highly- colored varnish, besides candy chickens, hares, ete., in abundance. A1l the various shop windows_display pretty emblematic articles. Besides the sugar and chocolate eggs, there are eags of soap and of glass: ezg-shaped baskets and reticules; leather cozs, which really sre ladies’ companions, and filled with sewing im- plements; wooden cges and porcclain egs, and_ even ege-shaped lockets made of solid gold. UNCLE REMUS ON EDUCATION. Attanta (Ga.) Constitution. As Uncle Remus came up Whitehall street yesterday, he met a little colored boy carrying a slate and a pumber of books. Some words passed between them, but their exact purport will probably never be known. They were un- pleasant, for the attention of a wandering vo- liceman was called to the matter by heariug the old man Lowl out: i “ Don’t you cowe foolin’ longer me, niger. Youer flippin’ yo’ sass at de wrong color. ~You K'n go roun’ hiere an’ sass dere white people, an’ maybe_dey’ll stan’ it, but we'n vou come a slingin’ yo' jaw at a man wat wuz gray wen de falmin' days gin out, you better 2o on’ it yo’ hide greazed.” “What’s the matter, old man?? asked a sym- pathizing policcman. * Nothin’, bvss, 'cep’in I ain't gwinter hav' no nigger chillun a hoopin’ an’ 2 hollerin’ at me wlen I'm awine long the streets.” “ Oh, well—school-children—yon know how thu{v are.” ““Dat’s w’at make I say w’at I duz.

Cuicago, March 16, 187 Loxz Prye. e The Code In Loulsfana. Teleram to Cincinnati Commercial, New OnLEANS, La., March 21.—During the last hours of the Legislature, the Hon. A, H. Leonard, of Caddo, ventured to call the atten- tion of the House to the fact that nothing had been done in the way of reform, and that it would be shamelful for the body to adjourn with 60 bad a record. He also dwelt upon the hope- lessly bankrupt coundition of the State, the necessity for repudiation sooner or later, and the course of the Legislature in ageravating rather than lesscning the burdens and ex- penses. His remarks were satirically recefved. The Hou. F. B. Jonas, of Orleans,indulged in personalties which provoked Leouara to calt Jooas a iiar. A challenge followed, and, being accented, both parties met to-day at 12 m., Messrs, Hear- sey and Trezervent acting for Leonard, and Messrs, Mauk and Wood seconds for Jopas. The scconds, however, made some arrange- ments for & compromise, or something of that kind. and postponed the meeting till evening. Jonas is a carpet-bagger from Indiana, of Abolition antecedents, but here 15 a leading Bourbon. He lolds several valuable oflices under the Nicholls Government, and is the leader and champlon of the -local Demotracy. He would vot firht unless forced to. - Leonard is a native Sontherner, a Confederate officer, and_for years a leader of the North Louisiwa Democracy, sloaghed off into the Grecley movement iu 1872, and never since got back to the Democracy. He was elected to the Lepislature from Shreveport as a Liberal or Independent. Iuthe Packard-Nicholls contest he cspoused the former's cause. In the lately adjourned House he led the anti-Democratic minority. Leonard is o fire-eater, and - would fight the devil. Hehas been known to go from Shreve- port to New Orleans to make certain parties water. T bn{:§ P, )IF At 0 o’clock the affair, as anticipat- ed, was “amicably adjusted,” Col.
