The great haste with which the last reinforcements from Spain were hurried off to Nuevitas on the very moment of their arrival in Havana is thus explained. The raid effected some weeks ago by An- REDONDO in the neighborhood of Gilines, and which was eminently successful, Spanish nc- rounts to the contrary notwithstanding, has, It seems, instigated others, for the Spaniards are said to have been defeated in an engage- ment in the Colon district. This took place In the neighborhood of the Agitica estate, and the patriots were probably commanded by Col. Incian, whom Gen. Quisapa de- tailéd as the leader of operations in the Western Department some time before he left the island. z eo Sens The Pope's Infallibility. It seems to be pretty certuin that on Mon day next the Gcumenical Council in Rome will declare the dogma of the Pope's infalli. Dility to be an essential part of the Catholie faith. What little opposition to this action there has been in the Council hitherto has so dwindled away, that those bishops who have made it will probably hasten to change thelr course, and convert the majority against them into practical unanim ty. As we understand it, the infallibility which will be ascribed to the sovereign Ponti’ will extend no further than to his oifficial acts as the head of the Church, It is not the personal opinion of MastTar Fen- NRETTI, or whoever else may occupy the Papal chair, to which the Church will be required to bow, but the solemn de. clarations made by the sucecssor of St. Peter, with duo deliberation, and with the full fenge of his responsibility as the vicegerent of God on earth, In this sense, the dogma of Papal infallibility has long been held and taught by distinguished Catholic theologians, and that they have finally won over their colleagues proves both the intrinsic force of their views and the ability with which they have been advocated, Indeed, the infallibility of the Pope as an pfficial teacher of religious truth is only the legitimate flowering and crown of the whole mass of Catholic theology. If men must submit their reason at all to authority, that guthority can property be no other than that of a divinely ordained and constituted pricst hood. The priesthood again must have an organization and a head; and what better head can be found than the lineal suecessor of Lim to whom the Founder of Christianity committed the keys of the kingdom of heaven? Avd when we have got as far as this, and recognize in the Bishop of Rome the aceredited instrument through which God rules the Church, logic compels the ad- mission that this instrument is and remains under divine guidance, and can no more ¢rr than his heavenly Master. Of course Protestants will refuse to accept the first step of this reasoning, and 60 avoid the last; but all those among them who ad. mit that any doctrine, such as that of the Trinity and the Vicarious Atonement, for ex: ample, must be believed under pain of dam- nation, whether rationally understood or not, have no right to sneer at the Catholics for accepting as true the decisions of their cc Clesiastical chief, It is only that small class which repudiates authority in religion al. together, and makes each individual man his own judge in religious ma‘ consistently dissent from th the Council But in thus distinctly defining the doctrine ofauthority in matters of religious faith, and embodying that authority in the person of a single man, the Catholic Church enters upon a new and perilous phase of its existence. The power of its head over the souls of men will be consolidated and with this increas of power comes a corre: rponding increase of responsibility, So long as the Pope shall confine himself to settling points of abstract speculation, the Charch Will be perhaps safe enough, His utter- ances will provoke no rebellion, a44 bo ers, Which can conclusions of increased ; but quietly incorporated into the commom mass of doctrine, But suppose some day ® Pope should attempt to prescribe a line of conduct which should be opposed to the material interests of any considerable body of the faithful? Or, suppose that he should, 48 has already happened in times past, come into collision.with great political powers, and so cause a direct contest between the Church and powerful States? Or, again, suppose that a given doctrine, promulgated |. by him at a certain epoch, should find itself, after a little while, contradicted by the ex- perience and reason of the whole world? Such contingencies good Catholics will say can never arise; but the risk that they may arise is one which the body of the Church can hardly contemplate without anxiety. ‘The promulgation of this dogma therefore constitutes a new point of departure in tho history of the Roman Church. It brings to @ sbarper and distincter issue the modern warfare betwoen reagon and authority, and widens. and deepens the breach between the Church and its foes. It is the great religious event of the century, and ite consequences no human can altogether foresee. oo Exempting Mortgages from Taxation. Mr, Crramen’s bill for exempting from taxation as personal property money loaned on bond and mortgage on real estate in this State has, we are sorry to learn, been defeat- ed in the Assmbly. The bill was so much in accordance both with good sense and good policy, that it ought to have become a law. Nine-tenths of the real estate in this city is mortgaged for one-half or two-thirds of its value, Tho mortgages are given: cither in part payment on the purchaso of the prop- erty, or to raise money to be used in tho owner's business. ‘To tax the property and the mortgages both is so plainly contrary to justice, that it has frequently been proposed to allow the owners to deduct the amount of the mortgage from the assessed value of the property on giving up the name of the mort- gageo, or in somo other way to make tho mortgagee pay hie share of the tax. Tho ob- jection to this plar is that it would prevent capitalists from lending their money, thus causing a greater mischief than it would enre, and for that reason it has never been adopted. If no money could be borrowed on mortgrgo by owners of real estate, they could notin many cases become purchasers, of if they did, they could not make the improve- ments they might desire to make. Any ro- strietion on the facility of obtaining loans of this kind is too serious an evil to be lightly. encountered. Latterly, however, such a restriction has to a considerable extent been caused by the execution of laws already in exist- ence. The Tax Commissioners, in tho faith- fal discharge of their duty, for which they deserve great praise, have instituted a system by which the names of lenders of money on mortgage are noted down as soon as the mortgages are recorded, and an assessmont made against them of theamount. The effect of this measure is to deter private individuals residing in the State from making such loans, and to throw the business entirely into the hands of the life insurance companies, and of residents of othor States and countries. Had Mr. Creamen’s bill been passed, it would undoubtedly have resulted in bringing much additional money into the loan market, and also in reducing the rate of interest. Tho United States will soon substitute five per cent. bonds for the present six percent. issue, relying upon their exemption from taxation to commend them to capitalists. Let bonds and mortgages be exempt in the same man- ner, and they would readily be mado at six per cent. The city and State would lose nothing, since the existing mortgages are nearly all practically exempt from. taxes, while every man who desires to purchase real property or improve it would get his money at 8X per cent. instead of seven. Real property itself would increase in value from this facility in borrowing money upon it at a low rate, and thus indirectly the resources of the city for taxation would be increased, paleo Even Scalping a Ratlroad Train ! There was no public comment last year upon a very noteworthy fact witnessed by all travelling upon the Union Pacific Railroad from Cheyenne eastward—the guarding, by United States soldiers of the water stations and bridges in the Platte Valley. Indeed, few of the passengers in the coaches realized the truth that they were ttavelling in an enemy's country, The telegraph yesterday brought startling evidence of it, The Tn- dians prepared a dead-fall for a freight train near the Antelope station. In the darkness of night they cut the stringers of a bridge, ‘The loaded cars came on this pitfall at one o'clock inthe morning. Fourteen of them were thrown from the track. The savages sprang from their ambush, and dashed for the men in charge of the train, These jumped on the engine and fled—all save one, Ho fired upon the murdefous thieves and drove them off from the cars, some of which they had broken open and plundered. It was due to the courage; perhaps the des- peration, of a single brakeman, that the en- tire train, with its valuable freight, was not Lurned after being robbed. By tho light of this experience, the senti- mentalists in Congress who seo a duty in petting and cuddling the human tigers of the Plains, ganintelligently vote on the bill they have introduced to prohibit the Territo- ries and States in the West and Northwest from organizing militia for their defenco against the Indians, The regular army has been paralyzed for this defence, For de- stroying hostile Indians, officers have been threatened with court martial, refused pro- motion, and denounced to the loathing and horror of all Christendom, It only remains to pass a law through Congress to make or- ganized self-protection in the Rocky Moun- tain States and Territories a felony, to be first suppressed by the military force of the Gov- ernment, and afterward punished by indict: ment, fine, and imprisonment, toarrest emi etaion to the West, and to reduce railroad communication with the Pacific const toa question of life or death This affair is becoming of the gravest con sequence to the people of the United States and to the world. We cannot permit Pacific railroad travel and transportation to be put in peril, We call upon the common sense and the manhood of the country to assert themselves on this question, The existence of all the Indians that scalp and rob between the Missouri and the mountains should not be, thor a for moment in comparison with the to\the.cixilized world of Keeping the Pacific railrosds perfectly safo to passengers and to freight. Big Six for Governor—An Important Ally. Has Hanny GeNxet sold out the Young Democracy? Has Tre Sun gone back on ite friends with whom it fought the great fight of charter reform and got beaten? Nonsense ! We say that Boss Twkep is the proper man for the Democracy to ran for Governor next fall; and Hanny Gener says 60 too, ‘The justice of this opinion no discreet poli. tician can dispute, Boss TwexD isn great man; rich, generous, without prejudices, spending freely the piles of money he ex tracts from the public treasury, making his frietids wealthy, and enriching @ corrupt Radical just as rendily as an honest Irish Democrat, and if anything, 4 little more s0, Originally a Know-Nothing, and still influ. ential among the Native Americane, he has the Hearty support of the Irish and Ger- mans. Besides, he is not a shy, manau- vring recluse like the dark-browed SwrEny, nor a light-weight like the genteel tyrant HorrMan ; but bold, manly, strong, and pon- derous. Ho has also the fineet stable in the world. What more than this is wanted in a Democratic candidate for Governor ? As for Harry Genxt, nothing can be more absurd than to say that he has aban- doned the Young Democracy, In fact, he could not do it without abandoning himself, for at last ho was the only Young Democrat left; all the rest had gone under. Besides, the man who fought the Ring to the bitter end, and who voted against the TwEEpD charter when it wos worth a hundred thou- sand dollars to vote for it, is not likely to sell out after the battle is over. It is not by such suggestions of treachery that the weight of Mr. Genet’s advice can bo destroyed, Like the man of principle that he is, he takes a philosophical, unbiassed view of the situation ; and when he saya that ‘Tween is the most suitablo candidate for the Democracy, he means, 18 Tig SUN means, that Twern is the rightful leader and repre- sentative of the party, and ought to be recog- nized as such in the approaching momentons canvass. ——— The rumor of M.

In this contest & nominal victory may again be recorded in favor of Bonapartism, but such a victory would only widen the gulf between the civilized portions of the nation and a ruler who depends solely upon sycophants, gamblers, flunkeys, soldiers, and idiots for the support of his ill-gotten power. Moxtateanent used to say that Lovis Naroueox shrank instinctively from honest and enlightened men, but exercised o baneful influence by calling to his assistance the powers of darkness and gnominy, No wonder that upright men like Count Darv decline to degrade themselves by remaining in the service of an intriguer, whose only hope of salvation is in the debauchery of the public mind. ——E The Pyramids, after having looked down upon various events for the last six thousand Years, are at last to be treated to the sight of a nephew of Gen.

Bat, fortunately, tt ia not heavy reading. It ig all about, thas realm of fascination the stage, Tho ttle ts Before the Footlighte and Behind the Scenes, Bookanhout theatres andactors, the. gossip of the freenroom, and the secrete af that litte world which is shut out 60 completely from the great world by the drop curtain, are always entertaining, and fow porsons are better qualified to lift the veil and to tell these secrets than Miss Logan. In the first place, she is “to the manner born.” She and hers laye been identified with the stage fora very long time. Her fathor, Cornelius A. Logan, was an actor held in much repute, and Miss Logan herself went upon the stage when slo was a mere child, not more than four or five years o)d. In tho next place, sho has Wf that profession and turned author, and there ofe i at liberty to speak of actors and actresses with hore freedom than would otherwise be pradent. Finally, Miss Logan 18 a wonderful gossip, She loves to use her pen; the six hundred pages attest that fact, And then she is bright and witty, and bag collected togother a mass of anecdotes, some of then old apd some of them new, but most of them ontor- taining, ‘The scissors haye played no inconsiderable port in preparing the work, It is a sort of dra. matic serap book, the clippings probably of several yours, all bound togéther into narrative form by tho bright thread of Miss Logan's own thought, The ook covers pretty nach the whole fleld of amuso- ments, Miss Lognn speaks of it as ‘a book about the show business in ail ite branches, from puppet shows to grand opera, from mountebanks to menage- ries, from learned pigs to lectnrety, from burlesque blondes to actors and aotrosses.”” Te WAGES OF ACTORS, Among the topics specially dwelt upon are: Train- ing for tho stage; the severity of the work; re- hoarsais; the memory of actors; stage rules and thelr strict enforcement; how to make up the feo; etiqnette among actors; their salaries ; the property man; scene painters; bullet girls and blondes ; sug- clors anfgyman Besides those and a bundrod other such subjects, Miss Logan has something to say about menagories and wild boasts, how thesa latter are caught and low they ore tamed, and the dangers that beset the daring tamers. As some of our readers may bo interested to know how the salaries of actors compare with those of persons in other voeations, we give Mics Logan's estimate, She states that it ia not casy to get at the precise figures, since not only fe the rade question never asked in the profession, ** What do you get a week #” but itis 4 point of etiquette among actors to remain in igno- rance of tho pay of their fellow actors. Mise Logan Saye: “ The salary ofa loading actor or actress ranges from $40 to $00 a week. Mut I know one leading actress in New York who gots $100 a week, and two who Ket $75 each, These, however, are peculiar cases, all three being actresses specially attractive for youth, beauty, and taient. Walking gevtieman or lady will get from $20 to ¢25 4 week ; old man or old woman, from $25 to G10; while otber players of alower grade of talent than those will get all the way from $25 downto 10 aweek. I should say there would be no lower salary than $10 a week in a theatre for any one who appears on the stage, even formembers of the baNet or ‘supes,’ though it is true that sometimes extra men are engaged from the street for some special purpose, who receive no more than $8 or @4 a week. The pay of stars is a very different matter, Usually these ladies and gentlemen play for ashare fn the receipts at the door; and when they do this, of course their pay is regulated almost wholly by their drawing power, Sometimes, how- ever, the most celebrated actors and actresses In the land have engaged themeelves for a fixed salary per week or per night, In the cate of very popular players this sum is sometimes almost fabulously large, ‘The largest salury that has ever been paid to a star in this country is that which was paid to Jo- seph Jefferson, at Booth's Theatre, in August and September, 1860, namely, $500 per night. Even at this price he proved an immensely profitable star, drawing an average of $1,200 every might through- out the season.” PADDING AND PATTING, Concerning the delicate questions of padding the legs and painting the face, Miss Logan enters into some curious details, * ‘The woman,” she says, "* or the man either, whocannot exhibit shapely figure on the stage, lms certainly not learned the way to the shop ofthe pad-maker, There are quite a numper of these ‘professors of symmetry’ in this country, but they are most namerous in Philadelphia. They advertise quite freely in the theatrical journals, and no one need be in ignorance of their whereabouts. They do not boldly advertise the unplenéant word * padding,’ of course—the popular term for padding is * eymmetriesl goods.’ Much need not here be eald of the mode operandi of the pad-inaker, The seience lies In weaving lergings or tights in such a way that they shall inerease the thickness of the calf, the thigh, &c.; and woven putting silk or cotton in the place where flesh is wanted, and thas concealing leanness or deformity, Thus a tragedian with lower limbs like pipe-stems can pull on nis tights and stand before an admiring andience with the sturdy legs of an athlete, ; “To make up the face is one‘of the sudtlest arts of the actor, Who that has witnessed the acting of Ristor! in Queen Etizabeth, but will remember how from act to act she visibly grew older before our eyes ? Not only by voice, and manner, and gait was this change effected, but her face, bright and Joyous at the beginning of the play, became grada- ally wrinkled, pale, and careworn ; her bair grew grayer and grayer, until at last, as she lay on the couch representing the dying Queen, she seemed re- duced toa skeleton and livid a8 9 corpse. This was broughtabont solely by her perfect knowledge of how to make np the fuce. “was behind the seenes of the Freneh Theatre in New York one night when Ristori was ploying Elizabeth, and when I came to look closely at Ler {t seomed a meaningless mass of white aud Diack marks with deep dashes of red uader the eyes; but at one step off the effect was wonderful, It is easier to make up the fsce to look old than to look young ; nevertheless a careful mingling of pink for the cheek, white for the forchead, black for the Wrows, and carmine for the lips, will go a great way toward making an ola and homely Woman look like ayoung and handsome one.” REQUISITES FOR A THEATRE, Miss Logan quotes a numerous Iist of the articles that the property man of a first-class theatre has th bis curious museum ready for use, Among them are: * Suns and moons ; sheet-iron for thunder, and dried peas for rain; powdered rosin for lichtning, and cut paper for snow-storms ; rattles for the crash of falling buildings ; trampets for the growls of fero- clous wild beasts; rose pink for the blood of pa- trlots ; papter maché banquets ; tin money for spend- thrifts, and brass crowns for kings ; broomsticks for witches; leaden watches; leather armor for the bodies of brave knights, tinspurs for their heels, and dog chains for their necks; legs of matton, loaves of bread, and plam puddings, all of canvas stuffed with sawdust; flour to make dospalring lovers look pale, and ver- milion to make the noses of jolly landlords look red,” MEMORY OF ACTORS, Some remarkable instances of the memory of actors are given, For, instance a year or two since Mr, J, W, Wallack,Jr,, itis stated, went in at a theatre in Wash- ington entirely perfect in the part of Bod Brierly in the “ Ticket-ot-Lenve Man," having committed the Part in 90 minutes; and Edwin Booth, when a boy, got through Richard IIL, in the illness of his father, without haying studied it, Miss Logan also states that her own father once took the long and dificult tragic réle of Black Ralph on remarkably brief notice, ‘The part was placed in his hands at 6 o'clock, and athalf-past 7 the curtain rang up, In the interval Mr, Logan had not only studied up the part, but dressed and made up his face, He played the part to the end without mistakes, although at one point he was so disconcerted at seeing a book of the play in the hands of one of the audience that he sen around to request the porson to lay it aside, Such powers of committing parts, however, are very rare, and, a8 a rule, those who com quickly, it easily forget A REGULAR HARD WORKING LIFE. In ilustrationvf the fet that the life of players is by no means a life of play, but, on the contrary, goy- cerned by rules of the most stringent character, Miss Logan gives a specimen of green-room rogulations ‘Twenty of these rules are given, among which are the following: “1, Gentlemen at the time of reb real or perfor- Mapce are not Wo woay (holy hate in the Pegaities of noe on tale usly. ‘The groanroom is appropriatedifor the quiet andy G jf company, wino are to be cal 100, and by, $a. 907 to attend on .

ROMANTIC STORY OF AN ACTIESA. Miss Logan gives jnstances of many actresses Who have captivated rich und titled suitors by their beanty aud cleverness. Among the storios that aho quotes on this point, tne most interesting is that of Miss Mendel, # Gorman actross, We give tho romanti¢ history aa we find ft related in ler book : © Tt fs sald that she was the most lovely woman ih Gormany, her beanty being of the trae German type, Of the peculiar fairnass, beheld in no other countryy— golden hair, in soft, silky masses, without the smallest tingo of anbarn—pure gold—unbarnishe & complexion scarcely over econ in nature, and most impossible to produce by artificial means; Ups of deep carnation; tooth amall and exquisitely White, and eyobrows of the darkest brown, with eyes 0( the deopert bing, All tila made sach au impres- sion om the hoart of the Duke Louis of Ba- ria from the ‘moment bo first beticlt her at the Munich Theatre he vowed Dimnself to the worship of this ono idol, But Made- moisello Mendel was valiant in defence of hor repu- tation, aud resisted every overture, even that of marrige, on tuo part of the Duke,well knowing that it Was almost ont of his power to contract any alll. ance of the kind, ns mitten was expectod of bim by bis family, At that time Mile, Mendel was in the habit of wearing @ veivet. bei with a clasp orna mented by a single peart of great vaiue, which had beon presented to her by the King of Sa: j, eed in order to quell all hope of success in the bosom of her ducal admirer, she declared to him one day that sho hud made 4 vow to. bestow her heart and hand ‘on him alone who could match this single pearl wish as many others as would form the whole neck- 08. ~The declaration was made langhingly, for the fair croature knew weil enough that the Dukoy living fully up to. his income, could never accomplish herenlean task. ‘Soon afterward she heard that the Duke had sold his horses, broken np his establish- ment, and gone to live in dtriet retirement in @ small Cottaze belonging to his brother's park.
