THE ROSEBUD FIGHT. General Crook’s Famous Battle With the Sioux and Cheyennes. BEFORE CUSTER’S MASSACRE. Narrew Escape From Overwhelming Disas- ter—Surrounded by Yelling Savages—Per- sonal Bravery, Perilous [ides and Good Mil- itary Tactics—A Graphic Story. Written for The Evening Star. HE SIOUX AND CHEYENNE INDIAN campaign of 1876, in which Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse, Little Bad Man, Dull Knife and other noted warriors were engaged, was under- taken by two columns of the United States troops, under the command, respectively, of Gens. Alfred H. Terry and George Crook. Both of these columns had the same objective, but were several hundred miles apart and had no definite plan of co-operation. The number composing the hostile bands had been approx- imately estimated, but their strength was liable to be greatly augmented owing to the proxim- ity of the large Indian reservations from which ambitious braves could easily steal away, un- known to their agents, and join the outlaws. While this was well understood by the gen- erals operating in the field the higher author- ities wore not so much impressed with the dan- ger to be apprehended thagefrom. The first stages of the campaign culminated when Crook's column, on June 17, had its fight on the Rosebud, and when, eight days later. Terry's troops, under Custer and Keno, fought the rous battle of tho Little Big Horn. Crook's troops had a desuitory but exciting combat, in which a detachment under Col. Royall barely escapedan overwhelming disaster another and a much larger portion of the column under Col Mills were upon the very verge of x cul-de-sac, where they would have been slaughtered like’ sheep in a shamble had not # fortunate exigency taken them out of it ‘and directed them to another part of the field. THE BATTLE OF THE ROSEDUD. This series of combats, known as the battle Of the Rosebud, attracted but little attention, Principally because public interest was so soon ‘thereafter concentrated upon the more disas- trous affair on the Little Big Horn. But the fight had an important bearing on the whole campaign, as the Indians, even while the en- ment was being fought, moved their village From its then location, on the osebu‘, to the one on the Little Big Horn, where onl: w days ister Custer and his men found them and met their untimely fate. As everything per- taining to this tragic event is of more passing interest, it is to recall the incidents of the affair on the Rosebud, as seen by an eye witness and participant, that this paper is written. numbers as nearly to envelop the relatively small detachment of troops (in all less than 1,400), which might weil feel dismayed at the sight. But the troops met tho onslaught with a volley which brought the savages toa halt. ‘Then followed the tactics peculiar to both sides in which they had met each other on so many fields. The ‘troops charged and the Indians feli back. Then the warriors ralliod and swooped up into the very teeth of their enemy, and when he seemed about to slows sroess them they glided out of his as deftly as the proverbial greased riggs ‘the nature of the ground the formation of the soldiers became broken the tactics of the war- riors changed from the defensive to an offeu- sive; indeed, they became very offensive. They attempted to separate and cut off the isolated detachments, careening on their horses, firing their rifles, whooping and yelling like demons and doing everything that savage ingenuity could invent to strike terror into the hearts of their foes and if possible to stampede them. And woe to the poor soldier or soldiers who at such a time gave the least indication of fear. Let him once tarn for flighteven for a moment and immediately half a score or more war- riors were upon him and the chances were ninety to one that his bloody scalp would soon dangie at the belt of @ Sioux or Cheyenne brave. nofatt’s CAVALRY IN PERIL. After the fight had been in progress for s while and the disjointed line was being closed up it was discovered that a portion of the cavalry under Col. Royall, on the extreme left flank, had become entirely isolated and separated from the main body by a narrow val- ley or demi-canon, which was entirely covered by the fire of the Indians who were occu- pying the high ground overlooking it. The de- tached command was plainly visible from the position where Crook and the rest of the tro} were engaged, but the Indians had evidently discerned the exposed position of the little de- tachment and swarmed toward it from all sides with the intention of crushing it before it could be withdrawn or reinforced. The danger was imminent, but a staff officer was dispatched with an order for Royall to fall back and join the main body with all possible speed. As soon as the staff officer with his two orderlies moved down to cross the valley he was greeted with a shower of bullets from the bluffs, which gave him fair warning that the Indians comprehended his mission and would do their best to prevent him from reaching the isolated command. He therefore made a short detour until he was at pretty long range for the Sioux rifles and then turning behind @ succes- sion of small hills that partially protected him he rode toward the separated detachment. The Indians watched for him as he appeared in the openings and made the air musical while he was in sight, and as he neared the place where Koyail was halted they redoubled efforts to stop him. 4 PERILOUS RIDE. The troops were under the protecting side of an irregular bluff, upon the summit of which the Indians were gathered in strong force, and the staff officer saw that to get where he could deliver his orders he must ride over an open — directly in the teeth of their fire at point blank range. He observed that on his left there was a small si and among them he took shelter long enough to repeat the orders he was carrying to his orderlies, sc that, in the event of casualty to himself, the order might still reach its destina- tion, provided, of course, that any one got through. Then gathering his reins firmly in his hand he touched the side of his horse with GEN. CROOK. Crook's command, organized as the Big Horn and Yellowstone expedition, was assem- bled at Fort Fetterman, Wyoming, in the last days of May. This rendezvous wasa military located on the North Platte river about ree days’ march from Medicine Bow, a sta- tion of the Union Pacific railway. several hun- dred miles west of Omaha. When ready to march the expedition consisted of fifteen com- panies or troops of the 2d and 3d United States cavalry, commanded by Col. Wm. B. Royall, two companies of the 4th and three of the 9th United States infantry, under Col. Alex- ander Chambers. A detachment of about 100 Snake or Shoshone Indians, under a noted scout, an ex-confederate captain, Tom Cos- grove, joined the column after it had been several ‘days en route. Gen. Crook's staff conaisted of he A. H. Nickerson, adjutant Genetals Capt Join G. Bourke, aid-de-camp; iaj. W. S. Stanton, engineer: Mat George M. Randall, chief of scouts: Maj. John V. Furey, quartermaster; Capt John W. Bubb, commis- a Surgeon Albert Hartsuff, medical THE WAGON AND PACK TRAIN. ‘The expedition was provided with = well- equipped wagon train, besides = large pack train. The latter comprised about 250 well- drilled pack mules. These were handled bya thoroughly organized corps of packers or maleteers, unaer one of the ablest packmasters on the frontier. one Tom Moore. The column marched May 29 and reached the head waters of the Tongue river, one of the tributaries of the Yellowstone. and the immediate vicinity of the Sioux hunting grounds, early in June. Here, after looking about for a few days and having one skirmish with a Sioux war party, & permanent camp was selected upon a small stream near the base of the Big Horn mount- sins. Upon this creek Crook arranged his camp and parked his trains in such s position that they could be defended by the teamsters, in the meantime communicating with the friendly Crow Indians, whose reservation lay hear the scene of operations and who had been life-long enemies of the Sioux. One hundred and fifty warriors soon came from the reserva- tion, under their chiefs, Old Crow and Little Crow, and as soon as they arrived Crook mounted his infantry upon mules taken from the wagon train and started for the hostile amp. “The combined Sioux and Cheyenne vil- lage was said to be situated on the Kosebud, = ‘small stream that flowsinto the Yellowstone river, im the then territory of Montana. The ord- hance, subsistence and medical stores were car- Tied on the pack mules, and the only thit the way of impediments that was allowed to either officers or men was one overcoat each, to be strapped on the saddle. THE TROOPS SURPRISED. The column struck the Rosebud near its ters and marched down that stream un- tilitecame to where the creek flowed into sort of an irregular canon, at the further end of which the combined Sioux and Cheyenne camp was said to be located. It was the anni- Yersary of the battle of Bunker Hill, the 17th of June, a listless, quiet morning. The air was mild and balmy.

The Indians yelled and fired their rifles with all the rapidity ible with modern breech loaders.

Simpson rode out and the Indians sceing him were apparently puzzled for afew minutes by the movement, but as soon as he rode upon the mound and opened fire they evidently re- garded it as a sortof challenge. They swarmed ‘out into the open ground and commenced cir- cling around the ‘little equad, whooping and Yelllng and firing their rides. “As eoct, as the; ay to be pretty well occupied the sta [cer galloped down the trail and when he got tothe canon turned into it and rode on to Mills with all ‘Maj. Randall's command, consisting of the Snake and Crow warriors, was about as uncer- tain as the enemy. Sometimes they would be all around him and then they would vanish as suddenly and as completely as if they had made themeelves air, into which they disap- peared, leaving him’ entirely alone. Several times he came within « hair's breadth of being captured by reason of those sudden and unex- pected desertions. Capt. Bourke once got too far ont on the line and suddenly found himaelf nearly surrounded, with led soldier on his hands. The in- dians saw the situation and swooped down upon them. The soldier begged Bourke to save him- self or both would be lost. There was too much Irish blood in the aid’s veins for this and he finally succeeded in bringing him- self and his comrade off. COL. HENRY'S FEARFUL WOUND. Col Henry of Royall’s command was not so fortunate, however. A well-aimed shot struck him in the face, inflicting a frightful wound and nearly destroying both of his eyes. For some time bo was completely blind and help- less. The fight was still being waged with vary ing success along the general's and Royal! front, when suddenly Mills and bis cavalry up- peared on the edge of the canon and partiy in ‘the rear of the assaulting savages. They had come up from the bed of the canon through the little ravines in several columns, so taat the ‘appeared on the bluff almost simultaneous!: ‘o better object lesson upon the effect of a move- ment upon the line of an enemy's communi- cations could well be imagined. There was a general rush of the whole band to their right rear, and in an incredibly short of time not a hostile Indian was in sight. ‘The term “rear” in this instance means the d: rection opposite tothe hostile village, for in th agi we fet 4k te treope vere sommernadl/ tha was absolutely no "or place of safety. The hostiles were on all sides, and an Indian ally, who went back to the place from which the ‘command had but just moved, was there killed and scalped. TO MOVE THE WOUNDED. The fight was over, but there was still « diffi- straggling group of pines | i? the three riders with an interest that was height- ened by the fact, patent to all, that they, too, to get out of their dangerous situation must needs pass through the same ordeal. After receiving his orders Royall told the staff messenger that he should wait s few min- utes to enable that officer with his orderlies to get out of the way before he started back on = movement which he saw must be one of unu- sual peril and the success of which could only be attained bya stubborn fight in which the Odds were largely against him. ROYALL GETS OUT OF HIS TROUBLE. Again the staff officer with his orderlies, this time with their backs for targets of the savages on the bluffs, rode back through the storm of leaden messengers that zipped, whistled and sung about their heads, tore up the ground under their horses’ heels and ricocheted on the rocks along their path. They had not gone far when the uproar in their rear was redoubled. The yells of the excited warriors, the sharp crack of their rifles, together with the answer- ing fire of the soldiers, showed that the savages had already pounced upon Royall’s little force and were threatening it with the utter annihi- lation which only a few days later they visited upon Custer and bis troopers. Fortu- nately for the fate of the isolated detachment its leader was equal to the occasion. Royall been less experienced, less brave or had he lost his prese: of mind for one instant nothing could have saved them. He was one of those cool-headed, stubborn fighters of which the regular army of the United States has given so many brilliant examples. The fiereeness of the onslaught did not unnerve him. The enemy's builets might silence his loyal heart, but while that organ continued to beat they could not make him lose his head. He dismounted one in each group of fours, and while they slowly led the horses of the group to the rear, the others in light skirmish order faced their savage assailants, each sol- dier alternating in covering the retreat of his comrade and keeping the horde at bay with their carbines. The Sioux and Cheyenne braves led by their redoubtable chiefs “Crazy Horse,” “Gail” and “Dull Knife,” dashed at the thin lines, vainly hoping to stampede them. Some of them wore war bonnets of eagles’ umes that floated five or six feet in the air hind them, while others added to their ferocious appearance by the heads of wild animals worn as masks, with protruding horns like demons from the lower regions. Meanwhile Crook, cult problem for the commander to solve. There were a large number of dead and desper- yulance, wagon or wheel of ony kind the trans- ‘tation of the wounded was not so easy.

Everybody, and in- ‘Had | cluding mules, we may infer, was “so kind,” and, besides, this was what he had been edu- cated as a soldier for; ‘drawn paya good many years to do this very thing.” On the evening of the i9th of June, after an absence of four days, the flying column, owing to itsexceedingly light marching order was called, returned to its permanent camp. The startling prelude to the Custer tragedy, which occurred only eight days later, was over. In the language of diplomacy the Rosebud epi- sode was closed. WHAT WOULD HAVE PREVENTED THE CUSTER MARGACRE. When this fight took place Terry's advance could not have been very far away. What might or might not have happened had the officer in charge of that detachment pressed forward until he either joined Crook or de- velcped what the latver was doing must for- ever remain one of the unsolved problems that lie behind the “mighty perhaps.” but one thing is certain, Custer's massacre would never have occurred. Crook's fight, though » victory in that he held the field and camped thereon, was a fai ure in the importance of its results, and Cus- seeing that so many warriors were | ter’s, that followed hard upon and was equally hastening to the aid of those attacking | gallant, a more disastrous one. That Crook ing Royall, concluded that the vi itself, with their surplus horves, must be left with « comparatively weak force to guard them, and dispatched Col. Anson Mills, with several squad rons of cavalry, to attack and capture it, if ible. At the same time he sent Maj. Andy urt, by the cavalry, with their’ long-range rifles, soon attacked Royall's avsailante’ with decided effect. But the Indians continued their assault with sach vigor that the general decided to send an aid to Col. Mills with orders to take that force up through the little ravines to the rear of the band that was assailing Royall with such energy. SIOUX SWARMING ACROSS THE TRAIL. The aid, accompanied by an orderly, started out on the broad trail made by Mills’ cavalry down the gently sloping banks antil it came near to where the Rosebud entered the canon, when he was met by a friendly Crow chief named “Good Heart,” who came running toward him gesticulating violently and saying, “No, no, captaine! Look! Heap Sioux!” With this he pointed to the woods that skirted the mouth of the canon, whence the hostile war- riors were swarming out directly across the trail so recently made by Mills ana his men. ‘The situation was a startling one. To go back and announce it to the general meant a loss of timeghat would permit to g& far beyon to ride into the canon was not only going into the jaws of death, but left @ message undeli ered which would jeopardize the whole com- mand.

I am indebted to my friend for some incidents occurring when James Sheridan Knowles played an engagement here at the American Theater. Ho was supported by @ Mise Riddle, an admira- ble actress, and on the night of her benefit Knowles was to have played Master Walter to her Julia in “The Hunchback,” his own play, but he bad accepted an invitation to attend a supper given by the typographical society on that Saturday night and could not appear, apd her friends—she was a great favorite—deter- mined toresent what they regarded as an insult to an American actress, and on Monday night they appeared in force, but the printers of the city outnumbered them and Knowles was allowed to proceed without interruption, Miss Riddle, however, getting ali the applause. My friend recalled a most admirable actor who came later, James Anderson. He played The Stranger to Mrs. Drake's Mrs. Haller. A great actress she wasand subsequently Mr. Anderson, the leading character in tes “Fatclsea'e Daughter,” su) ported by Josephine Clifton. I remember Mr. Anderson as @ most admirable actor. Mrs. Drake was for years the leading tragedienne of the American stage. She married quite late in life Capt. George W. Cutter, whose “Song of Steam” entitled him to be enrolled in “Gris- wold’s Poets of America.” At the time that poem appeared Capt. Cutter was a clerk in the Treasury Department. Another actrcss of that day whom my old friend recalled was Mra Farren, the aunt, I think, of Julia Dean, who for years held a lead- ing position on the stage. Conversing with the old playgoer was like reading a file of old play bills. His memory teemed with incidents Of those old days and those who trod the boards, the Kembles, the Coopers, the Vander- offs. Wm. E.

He edited “The Gentleman's Magazine” for some years and was a scholar of erudition, and if he had devoted his life to literature would have made aname in that pursuit.

The actors of eminence of that day were scholarly men—students—men of learning in the drama, like Burton, Murdock and Forrest, who, before he played Richelieu, read his life history, fifty-seven volumes, in French. What actors of the present day make such preparation to enact a character? Murdoch studied Charles De Moor in Schilier’s “Kob- bery” for years, and made it one of his great t- | personations. ‘The beautiful tribute to the elder Joseph Jefferson which marks his resting place wt Harrisburg was written by tho chief justice of Pennsylvania, Jobn Bannister Gibson, and it is ay just as it is beautiful.

From the London Daily News. ‘A Swiss paper receives tho following highly interesting particulars on the subject of Prince Bismarck’s resignation from a man who is al- leged to be initiated into Berlin court secrets asno other has been, and whose information has always proved correct: On Saturday, March 5, 1890, toward 8 o'clock ift the morning, while the prince was still in bed,he was informed that the emperor was waiting to see him in Count Herbert Bismarck’s apartments in the office of the secretary of state. When the princé entered the room the emperor received him with the following words. spoken in a tone of the most vehement reproach: “You a short time ago forbade the ministers to make reports directly to me, but Iabsolutely wish that my ministers present themselves personally to me.” “Your majesty,” answered the prince, “by virtue of law I alone am authorized and and united character. If, within the last few weeks, some ministers have got into the way of making reports to your majesty, it is in oppo- n to the law, which gives this right alone to the chancellor of your majesty. But as scon as your majesty orders me I will yield to your wishes and propose a change in the law.” “Also in the workingmen’s question,” continued William Ii, still in an ex- cited tone, “my plans meet with your persistent opposition. Ilook to the measures which I consider useful being carried out thor- oughly.” “I do not oppose the improvements which your majesty thinks of introducing,” was the reply, “but my years of experience tell me that some of them need certam modifi- cations which are absolutely necessary, and I shail have the honor of submitting them to your majesty.” “No, no; no modifications,” interrupted the emperor. “I wish my orders to be carried out just asIgive them.” The severity of this expression of his will at last exhausted the prince's calmness. “I think I can perceive that my services are not fortunate enough to please your majesty,” he said, “and that some thoughts exist of getting rid of me.” ‘The emperor here made a confirmatory gesture with his hand; if it was done unkifowingly it was not less significant. “In that case there is nothing else for me to do but to hand your maj- esty my resignation. I would only like to beg your majesty to let me remain in office till May, 30 that I may personaily defend the military bill in the reich I fear my successor would find 1t dificult to break i opposition in parliament and carry the bill. ile the chancellor was speaking the emperor shook is head several times and said at las 0, no.” The prince bowed without say- ing 'a word, and waited for a sign from the emperor to withdraw. After a few painful moments of silence the emperor said, still most excited: There is still a word to be said about your mysterious negotiations i dthorst. I know you receive hi in your house, and I forbid these meetings.” But now the chancellor, who the whole time had kept his temper with the greatest trouble, broke out and said: “I know quite well that for some time I have been surrounded by spies and talebearers, who watch every stepI take. It is true, and in I cay itis true, that I have invited Dr. Windthorst in order to discuss things with him. But it is not only my right, it is my duty, to have communication with skilled politicians, whether they be members of parliament or ‘not, and nobody, not even your majesty, will bo able to prevent me from doing so.” After these words, spoken in the greatest excitement, the emperor dismissed his chancellor with a simple movement of the head. Socnded this fateful scene. Between the young sovereign and the old chancellor a gulf had formed which never could be bridged over. The uewspapers may say what they like —arecorciliation betwoen the two is hence- forth an impossibility. Even if the chancellor MESSAGES OF SAVAGES, How Letters Are Sent Without Writing by Primitive Peoples. ‘OW DID PEOPLE SEND MESSAGES before the art of writing was under- stood? Some suggestions on the subject can be got from the methods used by primitive races to- day. For example, in the Yoruba country, West Africa, the natives send messages by means of shells, feathers, peppers, corn, stones, coal, razors, powder and shot and many other things. The meaning of each ob- ject is known, and all of them together make Up a sort of “code,” by which intelligence re- lating to anything whatsoever may be trans- Simply by means of cowry shells these sav- ages are able to conduct the most’ elaborate correspondence. They are strung on bits of Srase fiber, and by the manner of their ar- | '¢ Tangement may be made to convey the widest variety of meanings. One shell signifies defi- ‘ance; two, face toface, mean friendli- ness; but @ pair of cowries strung back to back are to be interpreted as an expression of enmity. Two cowries, with a feather fastened between them, say: “Come as quickly as you can fly.” Some years ago a white man was captured in the course of » raid made by the Amazon war- riors of jomey upon a missionary settle- ment A few weeks later his anxious wife re- ceived from him a message, which consisted simply of @ pebble, a piece of charcoal, a pep- per, a grain of parched corn and a rag.” ‘Thero Was no difficulty in translating it by the native code. The pabble said: “I am in good health,” ie, in ; the piece of charcoal sig- nified: “But my prospects are very black and loomy:” the r meant, “I am very anx- fous about the farure: lest L’be. killed cr sold into slavery:” the grain of parched corn indi- cated: “I have become very thin,” and the scrap of rag added: My clothing is ia tatters.” A toothbrush,when sent by one native to another, signifies friendship. African savages have the best teeth in the world, and one reason for this fact is that they ‘take such excellent care of them, cleaning them several times aday. For this purpos they use a short iece of wood, which becomes softened by rub- ing in the mouth. Thus the message of a toothbrush is: ‘As I remember my teeth con- Stantly, so I often think of you.” him that it is expected he will kill himself for their satisfaction, Six cowry shells signify “I love you.” Such a string sent by a young man toa girl expresses his desire to form an en- gagement of marriage. Among the natives of Australia notched and | da: carved sticks are used for messages. For in- stance, a piece of wood carried from one vil- lage to another, with straight and curved lines cut upon it, means “there isa fight on hand; fetch your’ spears and boomerangs.” The North American Indianshave utilized wampum belts from time immemorial for like purposes, the arrangement of the different colored beads conveying the signification desired. On several occasions pipes of peace and other symbolic missives have been receive by e President of the United States from vari- ous tribes. The Moquis of New Mexico once sent him a small quantity of wild boney wrapped in the inner husk of an ear o? corn. He was requested to take a piece of the husk, chew it and spit it out upon the ground in order that the country might have rain. It is recorded in history that when Darius, king of Persia, invaded Seythia, the ruler of the latter country, Idanthuras, sent him a message, consisting of a mouse, a frog, a bird, an arrow and a plow. The wisest men in the army puzzled over the meaning of it, which Was conjectured to be that the empire was sur- rendered. It was supposed that the mouse signified the dwellings, the frog the waters, the bird the air, the arrow the arms and the plow the land. ‘but it turned out that the interpre- tation intended w: soldiers could fly like birds, burrow like mice or betake themselves like frogs to the water they would never eseape the weapons of the Scythians and make their way out of the coun- ry. Knotted strings were employed by the an- cient people of Peru for messages. They had no written characters to express single sounds, and so they put words together for purposes of communication and also for records by the dexterous tying of knots on cords, To one thick cord they attached several thinner ones, and on the latter the knots were tied. A single knot meant ten, a double knot 100 and a triple knot 1,000, The little strings were of different colors, 80 as to repreeent various kinds of things. On one such “quipu” all the accounts ofthe atmy were kept. A red string gave the number of soldiers with — slings, a white string the soldiers with spears and a black string the soldiers with clubs, &c. imilarly all the books of the nation were posted. In every town were persons known as “officers of the knots,” whose business it was to tie the strings and "to explain them. They became so perfect in this art that they could with case make known the laws by the same means and set down every important event of the kingdom. To this day a like method is fol- lowed by the farmers in that country, who use it for keeping tally of their flocks and crops. _ Similar records are kept with knotted cords in Polynesia, During the early part of this century and previously the official tax- gatherers on the Island of Hawaii, in the Sand- wich group, did all their accounts on a rope 2,400 feet long, which was divided into lengths, each corresponding to a district. Loops, knots and feather tufts along the rope served as memoranda for the hogs, pigs and pieces of sandal wood collected from taxpayers. ‘The conveying of information by fire, giving smoke by day and illumination at night, is one of the very oldest methods adopted for this Purpose. Noone knows when the semaphore was first invented, but the origin of this device for signaling with arms at different angles is most ancient. Cryptograms, for communi- cating in secret language, are nearly as old as the art of writing, and invisible inks, which could be rendered visi heat or the action that unless Darius and his | # ie by of chemicals, were utilized by the Egyptisus thirty-five centuries ago. —<—<——__ Written for Taz Evexrve Stam, Potomac fapphics.

An Amisble Professor Who Was Mistaken for a Hairdresser. From the Chicago Inter-Ocean. Those curious personal resemblances, which are not uncommon, have given rise to the popular belief that every man has his double some- where im the world. It appears that the double of a well-known professor of the Rush Medical College is a hairdresser, whose shop is situated in the immediate neighborhood of that institution, and who, well aware of his likeness to the learned doctor, carefully copies latter in dress, bearing and demeanor. A few days ago the professor was walking home- ward from his lecture room, when a gentle- man, entirely unknown to him, stopped him in the street, saying: “Follow me to my house, I want you to cut my hair.” The amiable professor, one of whose prin- ciples of life it has always been never to with- old from a fellow créature any service thas it might be within his power to render, meekly ees the which did that sort of thing.” Mr. Booth speaks of Miss greatest actress on the American stage.
