WHAT kI>D OF A HAM SHOULD HE
PRESIDENT?
He should possess the capacity to direct
the affairs of the confederation and all the
affairs of the government, which come un
der liis control. The constitution should
bo the polo star to guide him in conduct
ing public affairs. He should understand
the nature and structure of the govern
ment, and never allow himself to be drawn
off front them to advance the interests of
a party. No party should receive his sup
port which is striving to change the gov
ernment from its original principles, to
new principles not recognized by the or-
ganic law. He should be able to discrim
inate between the doctrines of the consti
tution and those of men who treat the con
stitution with contempt, if it does not sus
tain their innovations and new-fangled
Ideas and who disregard its plain provis
ions and doctrines, when it stands in the
way of their designs to convert the gov
ernment from a confederation of all the
States into one political mass. The Presi
dent has a great responsibility resting up
on him. It is his duty to preserve the
rights of the people—to uphold their pow
er—their right to govern—and their Just
expectation that the chief magistrate of
the country will never betray the trust
confided to him, and the liberties which
have been bequeathed to them, by the fra
mers of our institutions. The man, elect
ed to tho highest office in the gift of the
people, who will betray these rights and
liberties, is a liberticide of the darkest hue,
than whom there could be no greater ene
my to the people. As a tree is known by
its fruits, so will Mr. Garfield’s adminis
tration bo known by its acts.
We want union, justice, tranquility, the
general welfare and liberty, and wo want
them upon tho principles of the framers of
our Institutions. The man who loves the
governments, state and federal,[established
by them, is the man the people will re
spect, admire and uphold. On the contra
ry the man who discards those govern
ments. who seeks to overthrow them, who
tries to disrobe the states of their sover
eignty, and make tho people of the Union
the subjects of a majority—the victims of
unauthorized power—will be despised and
hated by every honest fi eeman in the land.
A NEGRO IN GARFIELD’S CABINET.
That the negroes of America are clearly
entitled to, at least one Cabinet appoint
ment at tho hands of President Garfield,
can scarcely bo denied on any reasonable
or logical ground. Had it not been for the
nogro vote In New York, Indiana and Ohio,
these states would have gone democratic,
and Hancock would have been triumphant
ly elected to the Presidency. The colored
voters of the country, about 800,000 in
number, were solid for Garfield. The black
race has made groat progress in this coun
try since emancipation. They number in
their ranks many men of ability and edu
cation, such as Bruce of Mississippi, Elli
ott of South Caroinla, Pledger of Georgia,
Fred Douglas and others. In many cases,
cabinet officers arc mere figure heads, just
as the Queen of England is in the British
form of government. Key was rather a
figure head as Post Master General. Ty
ner. the first assistant, was tho real work
ing Post Master General and, no doubt, to
day, Horace Maynard is the same figure
head that Key was. Bruce or Douglas
would make just as competent a P. M.
General as Maynard or Key. It has al
ways been tho rule of parties and men to
reward those to whom, in part, they were
indebted for success. The Great Napoleon
rewarded his Generals and made them
Princes, Dukes and Marshals. The Em
peror William made Bismarck a Prince and
offered the same title to Von Moltke which
the aged veteran modestly declined. Should
this largo negro element, the back-bone,
the stay, the savior, of the Republican
Party, bo rewarded with a few bones while
all tho places of dignity, honor and emol
ument are conferred upon their white
brethren'' If tliis bo the case the negro can
justly exclaim “Republicans are ungrate
ful.”
It may be said that it is Washington eti
quette for tiic ladies of the cabinet officers
to associate with each other on terras of
intimacy and that the wives of the white
members of the cabinet will refuse to as
sociate with the wife of a colored member,
But tliis rule need not be enforced in every
case. We are sure the colored people do
not desire social equality any more than
Gladstone would desire to play whist with
the Queen. We have precedent of the high
est authority on tliis very point. When
General Andrew Jackson was President of
the United States he appointed General
Eaton, Secretary of War. Gen. Eaton’s
wife was a widow when the General mar
ried her and had been much talked about
by the gossips of Washington City. Tho
ladies did not think she was exactly what
she ought to be, and the wives of tho other
cabinet officers Hatiy refused to associate
with her. General Jackson, who was very
fond of both General and Mrs. Eaton, was
highly indignant. He called a cabinet
meeting to discuss the subject, at which
he pronounced Mrs. Eaton as pure as his
adopted son Donalson’s new born baby.
He wantod unity, sociality and good will
in his political family. But even the iron
will of old Hickory could not break through
the Procrustean rule of society and Mrs.
Eaton was never recognized by the oth
er ladies. There have been United States
Senators, Representatives, foreign minis
ters, Judges, members of tho Legislature,
and why not a negro cabinet officer? We
cannot see how the Republican party can
dougo this just and equitable claim.

[CONCLUDED.]
Shelia reigned almost as a queen in tho
circle in which strange fate had placed her,
not a unique, imperious queen, but a gen
tle loving woman. She had suffered—and
she pitied noble manly hearts that beat
for her without a response.
She had but one love to give, and had
given that just one year before, and she
would never love again. In every vast as
sembly she had striven but in vain to ob
tain one glimpse of the face, so well re
membered, and her heart grew sick with
watting; she became weary of the glilter
that formed her daily life. She could not
be happy, for love was lacking, and “love
is a woman’s whole existence.”
“Well met, my Lord, Delaney,” said the
Duke of V; you are quite a “stranger in
town for a year past.”
The gentleman addressed clasped the ex
tended hand and then glanced quickly at
the lady leaning upon the Duke’s arm.
Neither of them heard his grace as he
went through the form of introduction,
they were" too occupied with surprise, at
this sudden meeting.
In his black eyes a look of bold admira
tion, in her brown ones a glance of quiet
scorn. She gave him a cold bow and ig
nored the extended hand. “I have had the
pleasure of meeting Lady Starling before,”
he said with suave politeness.
“A pleasure indeed,” said the Duke gal
lantly, “no doubt a pleasant surprise in
meeting her ladyship so unexpectedly.”
“You ace mistaken your Grace,” she said
coldly, “surprises are not always pleas
ant.” •
Nothing daunted by .her cold reception,
Delaney continued to walk with the Duke
and Lady Starling, and while he con
versed with the Duke he gazed at Sheila
with bold defiant eyes. What a feeling of
avers! on came over her in his hated pres
ence. Her mind had gone back to the most
bitter period of her life. She was so busy
with her own thoughts she had almost for
gotten where She was, when a word recalled
her to herself.
“Where are the Delormes?” she heard
the Duke say.
She drew a quick breath, and glanced at
Delaney.
His black eyes never left her face as he
answered:
“They are in town, returned from abroad
yesterday."
"The young ladles are well I trust,” said
the Duke. Where is their cousin Sydney
Delorme? I missed him dreadfully at our
parties and receptions.
“He Is a with his cousins,” said Delaney.
“A fine handsome fellow,” said the Duke.
“I have always had the greatest friend
ship for him. I know Lady Starling you
would like him, should you chance to
meet”
She looked defiantly at Delaney.
“I have met Mr. Delorme,” she said quiet
ly, “I am feeling somewhat tired, will not
your Grace bond mo to my carriage?” Once
in her room she locked the door and gave
vent to her pent up emotion. _
He was in town, her Sydney that was,
they might chance to meet any day per
haps that very night, for she was going to a
large ball, given at Lady Clavering’s house,
and several hundred guests were invited.
Perhaps the Delormes would be among
them. Had he forgotten what happened
just one year past? No, she knew full well
he had not. She condemned him untried.
Judging him by those that daily surround
ed her, she knew he was far better and
nobler, for his heart was kind, and he had
been so tender to dead Jamie. It was with
nervous hands she commenced her toilet
for the great ball, her maid found her most
hard to please,quite unusual for her,she was
always indifferent what she wore. Stand
ing before the long mirror a pleased 6milc
came upon her lips for she looked most
queenly and lovely. Shining folds of sil
ver brocaded satin swept around her grace
ful form and rare diamonds sparkled upon
her neck and shapely arms, but her brown
eyes rivaled the diamonds in brilliancy,
and her rich hair coiled simply around her
small perfect head, the pearl-liko complex
ion had never looked more transparent
and pure. She was escorted by tho Duke
of V., one of the many suitors that wero
fascinated by her beauty. The Delormes
were not present when Sheila at first ar
rived, but a few minutes later, they wore
announced. Her heart appeared to stand
still and a mist came before her eyes, the
soft voice of the Duke sounded far off.
When the mist had passed away she
looked upon the man, she had so dearly lov
ed, for the first time in many months.
Something like a flow of spirits appeared
to effect her. She laughed and seemed deep
ly interested in tho conversation of the
Duke, but all the while her thoughts were
upon another subject.
The year had not changed Delorme ex
cept that he was a littlo graver aud more
dignified than he was once. He was very
handsome and his good looks much im
proved by the evening dress ho wore. His
cousin Blanche leaned upon his arm and
they made a fine couple standing as they
were in contrast with each other. She so
dark and brilliant, he fair and elegant. A
moment Sheila saw them, and then they
were lost in the crowd.
The Duke proposed that they should
dance and her heart beat wildly, for in the
same set directly opposite to her, Delorme
was dancing with his cousin. Her hand
met his again and again in the mazes of
the dance, but she did not once met his eye,
he was conversing earnestly with his cous
in. He was as cold and seemingly uncon
cerned, as though the wild sad words he
uttered, one year gone by, had never been
spoken. After the dance was over, the
Duke escorted Sheila back to her seat,
where she was soon surrounded by a crowd
of admirers. The crowd moved aside and
a couple stood by her. “Dear Lady Star
ling,” said Blanche, "I am so pleased to
meet you again.”
Her greeting was most cordial and at
any other time, Shelia’s pride might have
been gratified at having so eagerly been
sought by the woman who had once re
garded her with scorn.
But she did not think of this, and scarce
ly heard the gracious words; her whole
soul was in the eyes, so timidly raised to
herlost love.
His face was deadly white, his eyes full of
pain, aad he bowed low over the small hand,
until his blonde moustache almost touch
ed it. Not a word passed between them,
but the silence was more eloquent than
words. After a short conversation, Blanche
again Joined the danoers, but Sheila return
ed home at an early hour; her heart was
not In the festive scenes. He has never for
given me, she thought; how cold and quiet
he has grown.
Cold, Ah not but quiet from pent up emo
tion. He had seen her when he first enter
ed the rooms, and she almost dazzled his
eyes with her beauty and superb toilet.
He had thought her lovely in her soa-slde
home, but dow, with the advantage of rich
costume, she looked like a queen, indeed.
She was different from from the Sheila he
loved so dearly. She was grander, and yet
the other Sheila came nearest to his heart.
Her image went with him to his home,
and he sat for hours in his lonely room in
saddened reverie. She was Lady Starling
now, with Dukes and Lords at her feet,
and he, though blessed with much of this
earth’s goods, was a plain citlaen.
The words she had so sadly spoken, how
they had come to pass, “Oh Sydney—love,
there is a deep gull between us that you
can never croes.”
Thera was a deep gulf between them in
deed, (fee she never imagined when site
seat him from her.
He must put now her from his heart.

ceuid she live this brilliant existence,
her soul was famishing tor some
thing to love and love her.
The sweet face grow paler daily and the
brown eyes sadder, smiles seldom visited
her crimson lips.
Delorme as well as the rest of hac friends <
saw the change in her, and he felt troub
led.
Was she unhappy? and did her heart
turn from iier bright destiny. She was all
alone in life without any of the sweet tlos
of nature, and her only child was dead,
that had been so dear to her heart.
Somehow tho remembrance of Jamie
made him forget the misunderstanding be
tween them, and one day be came to her as
she stood a moment, at some great fair,
and her heart gave a great bound when the
well-known voice fell upon her ear.J “Lady
Starling,” he said, “you are looking very
pale lately, are you uot sick?”
Tears came into tho eyes she raised to
his, “I am always sick,” she said.
“I%now,” he said with a smile, “but you
are the whitest of the white now.”
“I go out too much," she replied, I “do
not think fashionable life agrees with
me.”
“Then why not leave it for awhile,” he
said, “the sea air will do you good.”
“I wish I had never left the sea.” she
said sadly.
The blood rushed Into his cheek; her sim
ple words had recalled so much to memo
ry. All the love he had so long held In
check now shone from his eyes.
She met his look with one of supplica
tion. Involuntarily he extended bis hand
to clasp her own.
‘ A suave voice made him draw back pale
and stern.
”My clear Lady Starling,” said the Duke,
“I notice your wrappings were too light,
for such a cool day, so I procured your
mantle, and allow me to place it around
your shoulders.”
With a word of thanks, she let him place
the cloak upon her, which he did In a very
love-like manner. She glanoed at the place
where Delorme had been standing, but per
ceived he had walked away, so the words
she so longed to hear remained unspo
ken. Since her unexpected meeting with
Lord Delaney, he had been her shadow.
She never went but he formed one of the
party that accompanied her, he did not ap
pear to mind slights, nor most bitter
words. He had been a false friend and she
almost hated him, yet she pitied the Infat
uation that made him take the insults she
constantly gave him.
Ho had said one evening with one of his
reckless laughs, “Lady Starling ygg think
I am one of the greatest rascals you know;
I acknowledge my short comings butlhev-
er d i d but once really play the part of grand
vi Ilian. I have been ashamed of myself
over since.”
She said in her own musical voice, “Lord
Delaney no woman should make a man
dishonor himself. Lives are often wreck
ed through the Instrumentality of a bad
heart.”
“I may bo wicked,” he said, “but God
knows, I have had the noblest, purest, affec
tion for yourself, you may hate me now,
but some day you will pity me.”
“If I honored you I could not love you,”
site said, “I never loved but once and you
came between us.”
She expected Dolormo would call the
next day but lie came not, and the hope
that for a season dwelt in her bosom faded
away leaving her more wretched than ev
er. She missed his face and was told that he
had gone to tho seaside with his cousins.
She had become vory pale as the heat
became greater, aud she pined for her hum
ble cottage and the old familiar faces.
At last she resolved to visit the old home
and it was witli a light heart, she left
scenes so uncongenial, to rest her tired
frame in quietness.
She was welcomed by her faithful friends,
that would love her always.
Tho finest accommodations in the vil
lage were placed at her disposal, but she
said I should feel out of place anywhere
but in my old homo, I expect it is strong
enough still to shelter me. But the villag
ers told her that her home was the most
unsecure place. Half of the small bluff
had been washed away, and the strait that
separated her house from the mainland
was constantly becoming swollen and had
once gone to her garden fence.
“Should you stay there,” old Pete said,
“and a siorm come up in tho night, you
would bo washed away before any of us
could save you.”
So she gave up tho idea of occupying It
and engaged a suite of rooms at the hotel.
She visited scenes so familiar, and recall
ing dear faces, some of them hidden away
amid clods of earth. She went frequently
to the fishermen’s homes, as she did In
days gone by, but tho children looked with
some awe at tho lady in ricii clothing, and
wondered at the case with which she made
herself at home iu their rough huts. But
tho good wives made as much of her as
ever; she might bo a great lady, but to
them she was still the same Sheila.
While out walking one daj’, she mat Lord
Delaney. He was looking ill and emaciat
ed, and said his health had been rapidly
failing and he had been sent by the doctors
to the sea, thinking it might strengthen
Sheila ascertained from him that the De
lormes were in the village, their cousin
Sydney with them.
He must seek her now daily. Well re
membered scenes must recall her to memo
ry. She saw him with liis cousins constant
ly, but he never called to see her. She now
began to think their separation was indeed
forever and a feverish excitement filled ev
ery vein, causing her to lose the little
strength she had gained since her arrival
at the village. She absented herself from
society, refusing to see anyone except her
maid, and her time passed wearily away.
She almost wished herself with Jamie in
the churchyard. How she longed for some
loving hand to brush the hair from her
brow, and a faithful breast to rest her head
upon; only those who are all alone, know
the yearning for something to love. The
wish again took possession of her, to sleep
once more under her father’s old roof; so
unbeknown to anyono; save her maid, she
made her preparations leaving her maid
to rejoin her at nightfall, she set out for
her cottage.
Sho stood In tho room whero Jamie died
and watched tho sun as It cast Its last
beams over the sea. •
She went through tho silent apartments,
and a great sob came to her lips, when re
membrance of her bitter parting from her
lover rushed into her heart. She remained
for some time in pensive thought, and it
was only when tho darkness closed around
her, sho realized her surroundings. Night,
and her maid still absent!
She went to tho front door and looked
out The sky was full of dark clouds, and
the wind blowing a perfect gale; the roar
of tho surf was almost deafening. She re
called Peter’s words: It a storm should
como and sho in tho house, she would be
in danger, so she must leave immediately,
and pull herself in the small boat across
tho strait before it became stormy. So
throwing a shawl over her head, she ran
to tho banks of tho stream, she had come
over a short time before. The boat was
gono, and the water every moment becom
ing more swollen, and it was rushing by
with great fury. So she was cut off from
the mainland, and her only ehanee was to
remain all night on the Island, In danger
from the water at one end, and being wash
ed away in her house at the other by the
sea. She turned to retrace her stops, and
discovered that she was not alone. A tall
figure closely wrapped in a cloak atood
beside her. At any other time she would
have been startled, but the danger of her
being drowned was so imminent, he rather
made her feel less lonely.
“Is there no way we can cross,” she said
to the silent figure. “No," he answered In
a thick strango voice, “wo will be compell
ed to remain until the storm is over. iShe
said anxiously, “The strait may come over
its banks, and flood the island, and my
house is almost washed away by tho sea.”
She returnod the stranger following her,
but he remained upon the front piazza when
she went in.
“Come in, sir,” she said, kindly; “my
house is not a safe retreat, but it is
shelter from the storm.”
“I would rather stay outside," he
She found a piece of candle; thisehe light
ed, and then stood at the door
the storm. The waves beat loudly
the bluff, which appeared at aay moment
ready to tumble. The strait had rushed
over its banks and in the darkness she
—5"
iisly see
could diiatg see the gleam of approaching
waters. * ■
She walked up to the dark form standim
igton the piazza, “You may be able,” sh<
ssM, “to agre yourself by swimmiDg,
bjreatchiiw hold of pioces of plank, wash
ed from my fencing, you have no time to
lose."
The man still stood motionless, wrapped
in the heavy folds of his cloak.
“Are you deaf?” she said almost angrily,
“do you not see tho coming flood? Again
I say try and save yourself. I am but a
weak woman and surely doomed.”
“I intend to remain,” he said in a deep
low voice.
“So be it,” she said heavily, “your life
must indeed be valueless, for you to throw
it away without a struggle.”
A brilliant flash of lightning, and then
pitchy darkness again, but the scene re
vealed by that momentary light was most
appalling. As far as the eye could roach
was one glistening plain of water. It had
passed the garden fence about two hun
dred yards distant and plaiiks and all
kinds of shrubbery were floating about in
confusion. Then all of the horror of com
ing death came upon her, her eyes grew
dim, her knees trembled and at last gave
way under her. - She fell almost prostrate
and stretching her arms out in the dark
ness cried, “Sidney my lovo, ‘good bye,
good bye.” The tall figure raised her in
his arms and clasped her to his bosom.
“We have been parted in life, we will not bo
In death," ho said softly.
She leaned tier tired head against his
shoulder.
“Death has lost half its horrors,” she
said.
All of a sudden she cried, “What is the
use of your losing your life, when perhaps
you can save it? go, Sydney, and leave me
to my fate.”
“We are both doomed love” he said, “per
haps ’tis well, for better death than eternal
parting.”
“To be unable to save you, so strong so
daring as I am”, he said passionately,
“suppose, Sheila, I make the trial; it is on
ly meeting death the sooner, if I fail”.
‘T would rather die here sweetheart,”
she said, “where I was born and all that I
have loved have closed their eyes, and
where we fink loved Sydney it is best.”
He enfoldeed her shawl closely around
her shivering form, then brought chairs
for both of them. In the darkness side by
side they bravely awaited tho death which
seemed to be coming only too fast.
“Haul the boat high upon the beech.
Bob,” said Pete to liis son, “it is a wild
night, and the sea may wash it away from
its fastenings.” They secured the boat,
then entered their humble hut, but had
scarce taken their scats when a sharp rap
came upon the door. “Open quickly,” a
voice from tho outside said, “I have some
thing to say to you,”
Pete admitted tho stranger with aston-
ment- depicted upon his face: “Lord De
laney out in such a night!” he said.
“I am out to-night, Pete,” he said, “to
try and save a woman’s life. Lady Star
ling is at tho bluff alone, and the strait is
over its banks and fast approaching her
house, and tho sea is undermining the
bluff. I came to get your boat.”
Pete drew on liis heavy boots and throw
his rubber coat around him. “Nay, my
man,’’ the old wife said, “as much as I lovo
my girl I cannot let you go to-night, for
you will surely lose your life: no boat can
stand such a sea as yon; listen how the
surf roars.”
“I do not ask you to go, Pete,’’ said De
laney, “it would be too much to request,
so heod your wife’s words and let me go
alone.”
Pete stood up in liis rougli clothes manly
and muscular: “You may love our Shelia,
stranger,” he said gravely, “but she was
our; baby ionce, and in live minutes, more
than half a dozen bravo hearts will go with
you and I, to rescue her or die In tho at
tempt. A man is a brute that would not
try and rescue another, then what is lie if
he did not try to save a poor frail woman’s
life.”
Lord Delaney raised liis hat from his
head: ‘Your words are so noble and grand,
Pete,” he said, “that I honor you beyond
words.”
‘.Thanks your honor, “ho said respect
fully, “but there is no time to lose; go
upon tho beech and my mates and 1, will
be with you in a few moments.”
His words were true, six brave spirits
embarked in the boat to battle with death.
Every stern face witli its look or determin-
tion showed they knew the worst and
bravely accepted the result.
Tho boat went on struggling amid rush
ing waters, that seemed at any moment
ready to engulf them, every eye was fixed
upon the light m the distance. Nearer and
nearer they came with panting breath and
muscles strained to the utmost. “My brave
friends,” said Delaney, “keep in good heart
we are almost at the end of our journey
and it appears to me the storm is abating
Sweet Sheila will be, ah!
A mighty wave dashed over him and
carried iiim away in its seething foam. For
an instant something like a panic came
among the crew, but tho clear voice of old
Pete, the fisherman, cried, "pull on mates,
don’t give give way, the brave young gen
tleman is doomed, but be firm, remember
the sweet life you arc to save.”
In a short space iff time, the boat lay al
most under the house. The sea had wash
ed away most all of the bluff and but
small piece of sandy ground prevented tho
house from being plunged into the water.
The couple that sat side by side upon the
porch clasping hands, wero aroused lqto
something liko animation by a loud, clear
shout, appearing to come up to them from
tho depths of tho ocean. Death seemed so
inevitable, that they had schooled them
selves to calmly await its coming. A thrill
passed all over them. Delorme went to
the window facing seawards aud shouted,
“Ahoy.”
“Be ready to catch the ropo,” said
voice. It was thrown and Delorme caught
it In his hand. “Come, Sheila, to tho win
dow,” he called, “your friends are here to
save you.”
Ho lowered her into tho boat and follow
ed himself.
With its precious cargo of human lives
the boat sped on its homeward way. The re
turning was far less dangerous than com
Ing had been. Delorme had spoken truly
when he said the storm was abating. Tho
boat soon readied the land safely.
Sheila now realized her heart’s greatest
desire in becoming tho wife of Sydney Del
orme and there was but one cloud to over
shadow her happiness—the fate of poor
Delaney. Many tears sho shod over his
tragic death, and the aversion she had felt
for him melted away in the glow of divine
pity one ever feels for the noble and un
fortunate brave.
The friends of her childhood wero affec
tionately remembered and moro than one
proudly pointed to a pretty cottage taste
ful and new.and with glistening eyes would
say softly, “yon is the gift of onr Sheila.”

Paulding, the Actoil—Young Paulding
the actor, is a relative of Commodore Pauld
ing, who died a short time since. He is al
so a relative of Paulding who aided In the
capture of Major Andre. Young Paulding
is a man of wealth, and takes to the stage
os a matter of love and nmbition. Hois
one of the best Shakespearian readers in
♦.he country. Ho was called out five times
last evening. Such a compliment is sel
dom paid a tragedian in this city. Freder
ick Paulding, a young tragedian of great
promise, opened at Martin Opera House
last evening. He produced a new play,
“Salviati; or, The Silent Man.” The follow
ing persons were in the cast: Frederick
Paulding, Milton Rainford, Hamilton Har
ris, Raymond Holmes, Frank Noreross,
John DeGez. Miss M. Loduski Young, Miss
Emma Lathrop, Miss Ketta Meyers.—
Paulding personated Lazarus, the dumb
man, ana made a brilliant hit in the part.
The other characters were well sustained.
The new play was a grand sucoess. Pauld
ing will make his second and last appear
ance this evening in “The Fool's Revenge,”
the drama in which Edwin Booth tea be
come so eminent. We expect from Pauld
ing a rendition of the part that will be ev
ery way satisfactory, even to the admirers
of Mr. Booth.
