THE CHICAGO ‘TRIBUNE: SUNDAY. APRIL 7, 1878—SIXTEEN: PAGES I saw bim only for a few minntes, but he THE STAGE. THE DRAMA. TR PAST WESK'S ENTERTAINMENTS. - The theatrical entertaioment furnished by our managers during the week has been mostly of 2 kind which could be best described by the bill-writer of the Northwest. They should be seen to be appreciated. Those whe bave neg- lected their opportunities can scarcely hope to have their appetite for amusement appeased by & prosaic account of the glorles of the spectacu- lar drama, the bumors of Dutch extravaranzaas illustrated by 3Mr. Emmett, or the skeletonian nakedness of fun exhibited by Ninon Duclos. The pen of the critic falters as it approaches {pese sublimities. It has only to say to the reader. o snd see them il you fancy that gort of thing, but don’t wait for a descrition of them in the Sunday paper, because there will be dissppolatment. The critic is compelled in some cases to hand over his work to the adver- {ising azeot and the bill-writer, and this has ‘heen larzely the case this past week. With the cxveption of * A Celebrated Case, the theatres have been occupied Wwith 3 mass of theatrical {cllies which are simply indescribable. The ‘best that csm be said of them fs that they turped cut to be entertaining cnourh to make people pay well for their three hours’ eater- taipment. Kiral{y’s *Trip to the Moon” was by far the best of the burlesques, and it was oply made so by the excellent material collected by the maoagers. The piece itself is sipmmarly weak in_invention, and in alf that could ever make such a composition endurable. Nevertheless it bas been a success here,—a suc- cess due solely to the native humor of such art- ists as Miss Harrison, Gracie Plaisted, Miss Singer,.Lewis Harrison, Mestayer, and Keene; and to the exquisitedancioz of De Rosaand Pal- ladino iu the ballet. The scenic effecis are ‘Qeverly arranged,—and, in fact, the embroider- fes surrounding the picce are 50 good as tomake he spectator forset what slim material the en- tertainment is composed of. One feels that such an excellent: company should have been provided with a better groundwork on which to found their repute as comic artists. We have ‘rately, if ever, bad the privilezeof seeing so poor 2 piece made so attractive. ’ g he *Celebrated Case™ ran its appointed term of three weeks, and the managers have good reason to be satisfied with the resalts of e “run,” which, all toings considered, has ‘been a biohly successful one. Mr. Emmett played quite a prolitable enzage- ‘ment at Hooley's. **Fritz” pever was a brill- innt play, and Mr. Emmett has worsened ratlier han improved it with his alteratious. The thread of story in the piece Is merely a fair ex- cuse for a good minstrel to string certain pearls of sang-and-dance business upon, and this was “espectably done by Charles Gayler many years sro. Mr. Emmett bas not improved upon Gay- er. “A musical gnd literary entertaipment was given by e Central Christian Church, on Western avenue, on Friday evening Iast, to a full house. _The readings and recitations of Porter were especially noticeable, ed much applause. ** THE EXILES.” Two versions of *-The Exiles™ areto be brousht out to-morrow evening,—one at Me- Vicker's, the other at Hooler’s Theatre. Much curiosity s excited by this rivalry, and the pub- Tic is probably worrying itself vastly over the question 3 t0 which will be best worth seeing.. MecVicker produces tne Boston version, which is ihe original oue. Itisin five acts.

WENDLING AND INGERSOLL. 1n speaking of the Hon. George R. Wendling,~ who, by the way, is to address the citizens of Chicuro at the Tabernacle Monday cvening, in reply to Col. Ingersoll,—the Burlington Hawkeye says: It is mot possible, noris it proper, to give a synopsis of this mugnificent argument.

Mr. G. C. Howard, the original St. Clair, and Mrs. G. C. Howard, the original Topsy, are in the cast. The Tribune says that Mr. Howard “is an actor, in bis peculiar line, without equal, model, or shadow upon the earth.” Heller must be & medium. For one of his tricks recently e had a spectator write a ques- tion on a bit.af paper, which was then rolled up, ut into the arrel of a rifle, and fred into the of anapple. When it was extracted by the writer of the question, an answer was found writzen on the same slip_ of paver. The ques- tion was, * Where is Madam Restell?” and the answer, * Dead, Ingersoll'd.” Miss May Howard, who recently made a suc- cessful tour through the Canadian ties, has beeome & manageress, having leased the Acade- my of Music in Halifax, N. S., for the spring and summer season. Her leading lady is Miss Susie Cluer, who played at Wood’s Museum here some years since. The season ooened last Tuesday with “Miss Multon,” in which Miss Howard assumed the “star’’ part. Sardou's new comedy of % Diplomacy » has been fayorably received in New York. The critic of the Tribune, in summing up bis_obs vations, remarks ** that it is & compact, firmly- knitted picco; that if not strikinzly novel in substauce, it is most artfully framed in maooer to interest, and surprise, and gratify; that jt possesses the delicate exagweration of charge- ter, and of probability inincident, tozether with tho occasional equivoke and the light, trenchant style, which appertain to comedy, and which de- fine and gauge it thatits moments of senti- meut create an fifusion, and_thus _show them- selves to be genuine; that it has the eloquence of passion; aud that it is suggestive of topics really worthy of thought and comment.” There has been some trouble between the members of the Fifth Avénue Company and Stephen Fiske. Returning last week from an unsuceesstul tour through the proviaces, George Clarke preseuted an order on Mr. Appleton from tiske for 3200, and it was not recognized. “Then,” says Mr. Clarke, * I placed my case in the hands of Judge Homer A. Nelson, and he wrote a letter to Fiske. A reply came through Oakey Hall, stating that in consequence of my vivlution of a verbal agreement made subsequent to the written one, Mr. Fiske uot only owed me nothing, but had serlously con- templatea a suit against me for damages. 1have authorized Judge Nelson to push the ease.” The amount claimed by Clarke 1s-about $600.

Norris, 3 young actor of con- siderable promise, well knawn in Chicazo, died at Lexington, Ky., on March 29. He began his cureer in that city when only 10 years old. In 1866 e was engaced as walkiog gentleman at Barnum's Museum, New York, aud the follow- ing year he went to Boston, where bLe played at tne Howard Atheneum and the Musenm. There he married Miss Josie Bachelder, u sprightly and talented actress. _After his Boston ¢ngage- ment he came 1o McVicker’s Theatre, Cnicazo, where he made many friends and won for bim~ sell a respectable rank in the profeselon. In 1874 he went to Maguire's Opera-House, San Francisco, and for about_three vears following he was at the Chestout, Philadelphia. Last fall he traveled with the Bartley Campbell Combi- nation, from which, owing to failing hoalth and loss of voice, he was foreed 1o withdraw in No- vember. His 2ilment was consumption, origin- ating In bronchitis. An estcomed gentleman fn private life, an actor of more than average prom- ise, his career has been too brief. Engouraged by the success of * The Danites,” Mr. Joaquin Miller set about writing another play. He soon cnmfnlezeu a modern society dramng, {utended to illustrate fashionable life in this city. It did not contain, like * The Daoites,” s {t came from his hands, matter enouch to occupy two evenings in stage repre- sentation, for hebad learned something by ex- perience; but it was not liked by the manazers who read it, and there {s no promise that 1t wills soon be presented to the public.

On the first night the Lyceum .was crowded, and by an unusually brilliant audience. A correspondent sayg: “I sat next to George ;Angustus Sala, with Sir Charles Young on my Jeft, and within speaking distance of Edmund Yates, Charles Dickens, Mr. Whistler. and balf a dozen society men and women, & group of critics, and other ! famous first-nighters.’ In a box to my left was Baroness Burdett-Coutts and a_distinguished compaay; and ou the prompt _side of the louse, quietly cnsconced behind the curtain of the stage-bux, was Tennyson, the Poct Laureate, who is per- soual {riend aud admirer of the actor.™ The London correspondent of the Dramatic News is_responsible for the following - bit of gossip: * In strolling behind the scencs of the Prince of Wales' Theatrs, a few days since, I was astonished at the number of cats that seem- ed literally filling the place. Upon inquiry, the followinz curfous fact, vouched for by everybady in the theatre, accounted for. their presence. Ever since Marie Wilton has been the manager of thePrince ot Wales' Theatre, the night before anew picee has been produced a strange cat has come into the theatre. If the cat is a black one, they feel contident of the success of the new production. These cats never try to leave the building, and now they are looked after and cared for, and arrangements are made for the newcomer at the proper time. From prescat appearances, it Is not likely that there will be an addition to the family for some time. Every seat in the house Lus becn sold for ¢ Diplomacy ! till the end of May.” MUSIC. PROGRAMME-MAKING AGATN. We have recefved a communication from Mme. Rita, the vocalist, who sang in a recent concert at Oakland Church, the programme of which was criticised in our last Sunday’s fssue, taking exceptions to that criticism. The pith of the communication is contained in the declara- tion that foreizners are ungraciously received by critics, and in the following - * With all my connection with some of the first classical con- certs ever given in London, both as a spectator and singer, I have never scen the date of birth and death of any composer given on a pro- gramme, and consider the London directors to be equally as accomplished in making out pro- grammes as Mr. Clarence Eddy.” The first dee- laration \was unnccessary, as it is erroneous. In the case in question we were not aware that Mme. Ritawas respansible for citber programme or concert, consequently there was no ungra- cious reception of any one. The programmne was neitber better nor worse than many otbers, and was ouly taken 2a s fair ilustration of fhe lasty and baltmade-up manner in which they are f requently prepared i this vity. With regard - to forelgn programmes, we bave only this to say: that asa rule they are sliabbier than the American, So far as London is councerued, the Halle and Grove programmes are models, especinlly the aualytical Crystal Palace ones, but outside of these not a titiie of the care or taste is expended unon programmes in London, Purls, or Berliu that is devoted to them in New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Cin- ciuvati, and Chicago. We see nothing in Mme. Rita’s communication to chauge our opinion as to the hasty wanner in which many programmes are issued 1n this city and to the necessity of fmprovement io this respcet. As we said be- fore, if a prozramme is worth making at ull, it is worth making well. - The evil is by no means confined to the Oakland Church concert. v churacterizes even some of our musieal soci- cties and schools, where absolute correctuess is expected. THE TABERNACLE CONCERTS. The musical season of '77-38 promises to go out inu blaze of lory in the concerts to be miven at the Tabernacle about the middle of May. Two concerts will'be given, and; for sev- cral reasons, they will probably attract two of the largest audiences ever gatbered in that spa- cious edifice. In the nrst place, the concert roupe will include all the principal singers in the Strakosch Opera ,Company, which gave a series of operas at Hooley's Theatre, in this city, last February. A" great majority of musical people were debarred from hearing this excellent combination of sinzers in opera on aceount of the high prices charged for admis- sion. The prices for these concerts will be ao- cording to location, rauging from 50 cents to $1, so that any who reatly wish to attend them cannot complain of the exorbitant prices. Last- Iy, they are for entertainments given in bebalf of a very deserving charity, and one which ac- compliskies a great deal of Food~—the Newsboys' Home. The institution is sadly inneed of funds to carry out its work, and 1ts Directors, among whom are some of the best citizens of Chicago, bave hit upon this scheme to benefit the de- pleted exchequer. These concerts are worthy of patrovaze, and, no doubt, the public and .\.‘luwnbnys’ Home will be largoly the gemer by them. THE BENNETT HOSPITAL CONCERT. Tho Chicago Musical College announces a concert to be given for the beneht of the Ben- nett Medieal College Hospital at the First Methodist Church on the 15th inst. An fnter- esting programme has been prepared for the aceasion, und will b performed by the Misses Bensley, Henrotin, Richards, Butler, Wishard, Moran, Peake, and Somers, and Messts.

The concert will close with the Quintette and Finale of the first act of Verdi's * Un Ballo in Maachers,” for s0los and chorus. ‘The rehearsal of this operatic number Tust Monday evening was very gratifying. The Keception Committee at the concert, will consist of twenty-six young ladies, puvils of the Col- lege. Prof. Adolph Rosenbecker, the violinist, will play the diflicult “Otbello)’ fantasie of Ernst, and assist in the Schumain aud Rubio- stein sonatas. THE PRATT RECITALS. The first of Mr. 8.

It will be gratifyiug intelligence to many play- crs of the piago to jearn that Mme. Rive-King will form a class of pupils who are advanced and desire to perfect their style and finish, whom ghe will teach during the coming sum: mer. We shall give the details of her plans Lereafter. Piano-players will also be glad to jearn that the Kunkel Brothers, of St. Louis, bave just issued Tausig’s transcriptiob of Strauss’ Morgenbletter waltzes and Liszt's Second Rhapsodic as played by Mme, King,with ber fingering, and also with explanatory text and new cadenzas. The reading of these works according to Mme. King's version will be both pleasant and profitable work for students and players of the piano. They may be had at Root & Sons’ music store. LOCAL MISCELLANT. Mrs. Jenny Kempton will sing at 8t Mark’s Chwrch this morning. Mr. Albert Ruff bas been appofated tedener of Harmony aod Composition 1n the Chicago Musfcal College.

His associates will wish him all’ success. In our fssue of Sunday last we were in_error in speaking of Miss Swisshelm, the pianist, a5 a former pubil of the Chieago Musical Collese. During her stay in Chicago she studicd at the Conservatory of Music under Mr. Goldbeck, and alterwards, prior to her departure for Eu- Tope, with Mr. Ledochowski. A testimonal concert to Mr. W. S. B.

Some of the Prominent Factors in Tuesday’s Election. » The Democrats Escal a Close Vote. Defeat by The Fufure of That Party Not Very Encom’aging. Humors of the Canvass---A Whisky- Ring Reminiscence. THE CITY ELECTION. Special Correspondence of The Tridunie. MILWAUKEE, April 6.—Some old fellow who was addieted to the free use of slang, when con- tributing moral essays to the editor of the Seriptures, occasionally used a figure of speech that was quite 28 pat by way of illustration as are some of the slang phrases of our own day. They are also examples that may be quoted for ol time to come, and will never lose any of their pertineney or significance. For instance, what can better describe a fellow who is everlastingly talking politics than that comparison about “+the dog returning to his vomit,” or *the sow to her mire”? And your correspondent. finds it necessary to revert again to the city election which was held last Tuesday, and to endeavor o0 point a moral and adorn a tale for Sunday morning by drawing wholesome Inferences from the outcoma of that exciting but bloodless con- test. You know, after a battle has been fouzht and lost, the fellows on the side that thouznt they ougbt to haye won generally look the ground over to sce where the fatal mistake was made, and discuss * what might havebeen ” with many sizhs and tears of manly regret. Some of the best-informed Confederate soldlers think {othis day that if Gen. Longstreet had promptly obeyed orders at Gettysburg, the battle would huve been won by Gen. Lee, and the resuit of the lute Cvil War would have been vastly diflerent. We ali know what secming trifies changed the current of events at Waterloo, and. changing it taere, the whole complexion of Europe was changed for the mext bonared years. So the flerce battle that waged lere du Tuesday between the Kepublicans and Democrats, ulthough not fought with very serious Cconsequences, excent to the candidates who were defeated, 18 not without its lessons, 11a grotesque aspects, and 16 reflex action upon socicty. The cool observer who calmly stood aside and let the procession pass, aud_havinz no hats bet on'the re- sult, and nb futerest in it except to see the beat men win, had to emile at the adroitness and skill of the two contending purties in seeking and ob- taining the aovantage overeachother. The Demo- cratic purty wua snccessful, but the victory wus one that was altozether shora of ity moral intlu- ence, and, while the candidates on that side are all daand safely cared for at the public crib for the Tiext two years, the cqntest revealed to the Demo- cratic leaders o state or affuirs that cannot be pleasant for them to_contemplate, Mr. Black's mujority of less than 250, coupled with the fact tnat Sanger beat him in every ward in the city except five, s evidence to prove that tne Democratic mu- jority in Milwaukeo has gone where the woodbine twineth, und that the Kepublicans will hereafter dispute’ with them the privilege of governing municipal affairs, Black Jost u ood many votes because ne isa liquor dealer, notwithstanding the fact that Sanger is quite fanliar with the use of the s#aloon fa politics: but Black and all hia colleagues on tbe Democratic side would have been besten out of sightif ithad uotbeen for the withdrawal of Mr. Chaee and the Greenback ticket. That was whit cooked Mr. Sanger's goose. Thal the Green- backers hold the balance of power in Milwaukee, as they do in the State, 18 now perfectly apparent to every one. That i3 the first lesson. But the comic side Of the controversy was to ob- serve how a slander started against o candidate, or the truth told with the hope of doing an injury ana makingit answer all the purposes of a liz, \ould redound to the benefit of the one it was intended to barm. Thus, when it was recalied to mina that Mr. Sanger vuted in the Common Council to ex- pend less money for teaching German in the public xchools, it made him votes among that Jarge and rapidly incretsing class who believe that too much prominence i3 given to that language at the public cxpense. Or, when it was quoted tG:his disparago- ment _that he voted to tax saloon-keeper=a bigh price for Jicense, it got him 3 good many temper- ance men's votes. As to the nativity of the candidates on both tickets,—and if we are tery particular about any- thing here in Milwaukee, it is to be sure just where » man was vorn, —Lhey are all imported stock, with one exception. Both candidotes for Mayor are Germans, ond both Catholics. For Comptroller, ouels anlInshman and the other a Scotchman. Doth candidates for Treasurer are Germans, The City-Attorney elect, Mr. Jobnson, turns out to be o Canadian, upon evidence that is quite satisfac- tors. There was a grave suspicion for a while that Mr.Johnson was ** native and to the manner born, ™ which would have been fatal to him if it had been true, but his friends came forward in time to re- move the disgruce of being suspected of first sce- ing daylight under the mes of the Starsnnd Stripes. Soof all the rest, except poor Mr, Hover. The cevidence that he 18 a natural-born Yankee is too direct to be denied, and 1 believe that no one tried to prove_the contrars, and he was crushed, of course. It §% tough on 8 man to hold him to euch a strict responsibility for an event that he could not help. Ido not knaw how my good friend George W. Allen. will rezard the vote of Tuesday. Hels very much intercsted in an organization which is humarously called **The ifonest-Money Lesgue,” nnd when thut sacicty was framed Mr. Allen made a speech. in which he declared it to be the duty of all men in favor of *‘honest’ money to join issae with the Greenbackers at the polls, and let it be known to all the outside world that Milwaukee i3 & hard- money city. e and his triends did make such an issue, as far as they were able to do it, but with a result that Xiw. Allen will not take puins to crow over a1 an anti-remonetization-of-silver victory. 1t i3 true, however, that the currency guestion had very iittle to do Wwith the clection, except that the Greenbackers, Silver-men, and_snti-Resnmp- tionists very generally voted 'for Black, It was hard to convince the masses that the subject of tinance had auy direct bearing on municipal af- fairs, HUMORS OF THE CAMPAIGN. As I said, the canvass was not all lies and slanders, but there were facetious aspects to tt that relieved it somewhat of its baanmess. A very zood jole is told on an Irishman in the Bloody Third Ward, where Black got most of his majority. Pat was the candidate before the *Dimmycratic” Couvention for the responsible and lucrative office of Constable, when, meet- ing o friend, the following collogquy toois place: Vell, Pat, I hear that you are up for office?” *Yes, I am, bednd.” “But, Pat, Ifear you are not well enough qualifled far the position. You know you can neither read nor write 1 **T0 lielt wid yer readin’ and_writin'. What's them to do runnin’ for ofiice? Besides, begorra, At my turn?” That last inquiry was a knockdown argoment, and Pat bemng o **orker," of course hejgol the mnomination, Lioss Hinsey suys that the reason that the Democratic majority is 4o smull 18_because there oroso muany spies in the party. The question is whetber he refers to Dr. Wight or Tim O'Brien, A Seventh Ward busiuess mon saw o man whio- ping carpets on election day, and, knowing tha mun to be a good Democrat, ingaired of him if he had voted. Being answered in the negative, ana 10ld that he conld not leave his work, the rich merchant promptly took the stick aud beat the carpets while John went 10 the polis and vored the struight Bluck and White ticket. The business man’s wife asks that his name bo witbheld from the public. The Hon. James S.

When the iron grip of the law fustened upon them, they wero in the high tide of prosperity, and defied the Gov- ermment whose Interests they had sworn to Dro- tect, or whoserevenues they had defrauded. They had millions of money, and with it they expected to corrupt Judges, jurymen, and Conpressmen, and even tafnt the very fountain of justice nt Wash- ington. But the scalesof justice were held with an even hand, and they soon.began to cry out as Cain did that their pumsbment was greater than they conld bear. One was & can- didate for Congress, and was driven in dis- srace from .the tmck. Two fled geross the sea, and lost their lives by shipwreck. Sevoral went o fall, and othera to State's Prison.

This morn, when I arose, the raln came down—~ The bitter rain—in ftful, gusty show'rs. 1 looked out sadly at the sky, ond said, **Tnerc is no sunshine in this world of ours. Bat, after while, the angry clouds grew light, And then I canght a tiny glimpse of blue, No urger than my hand, and, as I watched, A warm gleam of sunshine struggled through. Then clonds flew helter-skelter to'ard the East; The West-wind sprang up, and dried Earth's tears, b And kissed the trees; the birds remewed their songe; And put to flight weregloomy thoughtsana fesrs, When evening came, so balmy was the air, So sweet the earth, eo fragrant buds and flow'ss, So tull of sunshine all the happy world, Wa quite forgot the gloomy morning hours. The evening ended in a rosy dream. 1 watched the sun sink in an amber sea, And, as T satin twilight's tender husn, My thoughts flew far away, my friend, to thee, The morning of thy life is dark and drear, And teara fall, like the rain, from thy ead eyes: But, ere thenoon, the clouds will disappear, And sunlight fall upon thee from the skies. Be comforted. God sends both shine and shads, He sends both grief and joy, for some wise end. Within thy heart will spring sweet low'rs ot Hope, When toy sad tears bave ceased to dow, my friend. Be comforted. No path lies all in gloom; Some brightness waits thee fartber dowwa the way; And, when the eveniag follows, calm and bright, You'll scarce rememoer tears that fall to-day. Farrir WALTON. THE REV. MR. COOK IN TROUBLE. Cincinnats Commercial. Some time since the Rey. Joseph Cook, the eloquent and learned divine, creatyd a profound sensation io bis Monday lecture by the sage re- mark that if gny young man was to marry o woman of his own age, that woman was now livinz on the earth. Not content” with fixing the eye of the universe upon him by this stu- pendous announcement, the Reverend Joseph has been at it again. He made a trip to Can- ada a few days ago. On his return, a pusiliani- ‘mous Tnspector of United States Customs was 50 disrespectfuily irreverential as to ask the great and holy Mr. Cook some questions about his bagzaze. The ereat and only Cook refused’ . to answer them, whereupon the still {ruorant and unaoprecia- tive officer told him he must put in an appearance at the customs office at St. Albans. T shall do no such thing,” safd the Rev. Mr. Cook, grandly. The [nspector was passing on when the Boston preacner caught him by the arm, spun him around, told nim he had tray- ¢led in Europe, and wasn't going to be ordered around by anyboay. Ibe couductor of the train was summoned by the unfortusate Inspector. With a flourish, in which grace was not uumin- gled with tragedy, the Rev. Mr. Cook opened one of bis books, and pointed to his name. ¢ Perhaps you don't know who I am,” says the great Mr. Cook. At this polnt it is painful to record that the Inspector nufeelingl, retorted that ne dido’t care. have great influence, arnd D'l get you removed, young man,” said the pulpit orator; “Irepresent the aristocracy of Bos- ton.” And then, with the voice of & stentor, he read the Tospector o lecture on his duties, such as probably that. individual had never got before iu his life. A person present said his tongue seemed to run at both ends. Mr. Cook vowed that, in all his travels, he never had auy trouble with a customs_oflicer before. ** That ia not true,” said the Inspector; ‘‘there is a man standing behind you whom you bad trouble with.” Thercupon Mr. Cook turned about a2nd found himseif face to face with the Inspector whom be had quarrcled with on outward trip, & few days before. This other Inspector declared on his part that in ten years’ service he had never been so abused and insulted as by the Key. Mr. Cook. And at St. Albaos the eloguent divine had to march to the Custom-House and have his valise opzned, like any common fellow. be seene is discourazing for genjus and aris- tocracy to contemplate. What is the use of fame, ‘of eloguence,—what is even the usec of being born in Boston, if one must have his baz- gage rummagea like everybody else's? Woat is the use of being the foremost pulpit orator of the Jand? Hereisthe Rev. Mr. Cook. He writes books about biclogy and things. Heis from Bos- too, and a graduate of two collezes. He is able to prove by the scientific method, and has done 50, that there is not only a Heaven after this life, but- aiso another place. He preaches on Sundavs and lectures on Mondays to such thronzs as only himself, the Rev. Mr. Moody, and Barnum can draw togetner. His cloquence has reached every hamlet in the Jand, and ad- miring writers recount how he looks, how he acts, and with how much oatmeal he nourishes his _intellect at brealfast, and after all this 2 shabby United States oflicer tells him he doesn’t knncwh and doesn’t care who heis. This is too much. A WHITE-MOUNTAIN MYSTERY. New York Correspondence Cincinnatt Gazette, There is a story going the rounds of fashion- able gossip which some of the readers of the Gazelte may consider as improper. But I beard it in a well-conducted drawing-room, and from the lips of o lady who stands as high tn soclety as she does tn her church; and if I thought it anythiugz but a barnless and amusing incident, 1 shoutd not tell it. It is late in setting out on its travels, for it relates toa journey of last summer iv the White Mountaios: Oue ot the best known clerzymen of this city, and famous throughout the Union for his 'ability s well a3 lis piety, was taking the regulation trin with bis wife through the mouutains. They were on the way from the Pacific House to the Crawford, or from the Crawford to the Profile, and wers seated on the top of the stage where they could see the eccnery to advantage, while chatting with their fellow-passengers on the roof. This 1s a time, as every one knows, of easy ucquaint- anceships and democratic fun. Among those of their companions whom the good Doctorand his lady especially liked was & ludy whose dis- tinguished and yet refined appesrance attracted much attention. From un iotroduction to an intimacy, as you Know, is_but the space of an hour in summer-travels, and the three speedily became fast fricnds. ‘The strange lady wis so bright and witty 1o her talk, was so evidently wealthy, and” withal was_ so _thorough a lud;; that, when the Rev. Mr. Blank and ‘his wife learned that she was a New-Yorker, they came to the stereotvped con- clusiou that New York was a large city, for here was a briliant and accomplished woman whom they had never met, und they had supposed that they kuew the-best society of the metropolis. The friendsbip lusted all day, which ts longer than some ot these midsummer friendships do, aud at night there was gewuine regret in the breasts of the worthy pair to find that their companion intended 1o remain some days at the. hotel, while they were golog an in the morning. They both hoped tiat_they should meet her at breakfust in the morning, and they did. After breakfast the dergymau’s wile began to press ber fricud to cone and sce them in New York, *You know my husband preaches in such and such o church, and we should be delighted to have you call. We are all New-Yorkers, ' and we ought to know each other. Now 1 hope you will exchange cards with me, and come and “see usass00n 8S you can.” The lady took Mrs. Blenk's card Quietly and politely, aud mur- mured some cxcuse for not giving her own. But Mrs. Blank was not to be put off in this manner. She persisted and insisted. ** You must come and see uS; you must promise me that you will.” Finally the fair unknown raised her fine cyes, and safd: “ Mrs, Bluok, in New York you would not care to know me.” This sent our fricnd off ina flutter, and, finding some acquaintances in the.hotel, the unsophis- ticated and still unsuspecting lady sppealed to them to solve the mystery, They advised her to drop the subject rizht there. ~And she did. Perhaps we haa better drop it, too. Or shail we first tell our readers who—but no; it was uite too awful. Did you ever hear of Cora earl, of Paris.
