Xli^i Sickles Abomination Dramatized.
A letter to the New York World, dated
Rome, September 8, 1868, says :
Passing a day or two last week at Perugia
. with a party of American friends, our atten
tion was arrested by the announcement in
large letters of a play-bill on the wall of the
dramatic entertainment for that evening:
“Slides VAmericana, ovvero colpa eptmizione.”
(“Sickles the American, or Crime anil Pen
alty !’") We went, naturally attracted by the
titlA, and found that the personages, repre
sented by a really clever corps dramaiique,
wove Sir Arthur Sillies, an American citizen ;
a particular friend of bis, Sir Giorgio Lind-
livisl, a man high in office at Washington ;
Eugenia, the wife of Sir Arthur: Mistress Ma
ria Sikles, his sister-in-law ; liarton Key, a
painter ; Easilio Baglioni, tlio aged parent of
Eugenia Sitlcs; and Jefferson, a mulatto ser
vant- The scene laid at “Vasinton;”
epoch, the present century, (a notice ap
pearing on the bill from the author, Signor
RhUandp Castel Veochio,‘to the purport that
tliits play was strictly founded on fact, which,
to [iliii minutest particular, might be found in
th j.iParis Cohslitidionnel of the year 1858.) Sir
Aryan- was represented as ah amiable individ
ual of a certain ago, possessed of the sweet
est and must unsuspicious temperament,
which was suddenly changed to the bitterest
misogeny or misanthrophy by tlie tardy
discovery of the ways and the manners of his
young wife and friend. The actor who had
this role kept his hands faithfully either iu
his trouser pockets or beneath- his coat-tails
tilljthe change occurred in the spirit of his
dream, when they were chiefly in his hair or
among his teeth. The la, lies were both very
pretty—tlie one all sentiment and remorse;
tho other all satire and independence; but in
tlio course of tlie play*, a period of two hours,
they never once changed their toilette, which
was a mistake ill the conception of their part.
The play cnlminated in tlie dismissal of Eugenia
to Europe in tlie company of her aged parent,
(kept carefally in ignorance of tlie catas
trophe, ) which was instantly followed by the
shooting down of Minton Key by Sir Aiihur
Slides, upon which the curtain dropped as
well as the victim. A scene, in which the
friend. Sir Georg?, took it upon him iu the
friendliest manner to Inform Sir Arthur of
Dis wrongs and their publicity, became ex
tremely amusing to ns from the allusions
made to tlie injured gentleman’s possible fu
ture career in diplomacy and cliancc of the
Presidency, and the very solemn oscillatory
embrace which began and closed tlie inter
view. Oil tho w hole, it v;as a most quaint
eutevtaiumqnt, and as faithful as it pretended
to be, if not as to persons, at least as to the
leading facts of the “■ o’er trqe tale,”
The “future career” of “Sikles l’Ameri-
eanq,” as the vulgar upstart satrap of the
Radical Junto, lording it over the vanquished
and oppressed whites of South Carolina,
would afford a theme for his Roman drama
tist.
The danger of betting on Radical publi
cations was fully exemplified a few days since.
The Cincinnati Gazelle (Radical) published a
statement that Governor Seymour inherited
insanity, and that a brother of bis “fell a
victim to the same terrible malady, and like
wise died a maniac suicide.” A Democrat at
Buffalo denounced it as an unmitigated false
hood, and offered to bet three hundred dol
lars to one hnudred, and give the taker a
w*eek’s tune to name the brother, which was
taken by a Radical, who wrote to the Gazette
for the name, stilting that lie had, in addition
to the .bet, agreed to vote- the Democratic
ticket ftihe could not name the brother, and
that the Democrat w as to vote the Radical
ticket if lie did, and that lie wanted to mor
tify the Democrat, as well as win his money..
Reid, of the Gazelle wrote him that the publi
cation was; based oil information of others
whom'lie believed, but the name of the de
ceased brother was not given to him. In the
meantime the Radical had written to a relia
ble Republican in Governor Seymour's own
county, who informed him that “the story is
ffiere political nonsense. Governor Seymour
never had bnt oqo brother—John F. Sey-
nioqr, mow living in TJtiea—who is, and ever
lias been, an able and estimable gentleman,
though, I ttim sorry to say, of the Democratic
persuasion. ”
Tho Radical, therefore, writes to the Gazette
again, and closes as follows: “I am satisfied
I have lost my money by betting on a state
ment in your paper. I see no excuse for such
misstatements, and if uqr party can’t succeed
without it, they ought to be beat. I am done
with Ralicalism.”

A Good Joke on Butler.
A friend in this city has made ns acquaint
ed with a good joke on Butler, the Beast, as
received directly from the gentleman whose
fun-loving children were the cause of this
merriment The gentleman relatingthe joke
lived but a few doors from Butler in Wash
ington city during the late session of Con
gress. The Boast had a little poodle dog, of
which lie was exceedingly fond and particu
larly careful to keep always in the house.
The children of liis neighbor (who by the
way was an excellent Southern man with a
household of sly little “rebs”) were for some
time anxious to get hold of this doff. One
day they finally succeeded in enticing, it from
its retreat on Butler’s premises. Taking it
up tenderly they carried it home and took
good care to guard against its escape. When
Bntler returned he discovered the absence of
his pet. The household was aroused and
servants were sent hither and hither through
the street in eager search of the dog. But it
is needless to say that they were unable to
find it. Finally Butler himself stood directly
in front of the gentleman’s house, and the
children, who, in the meantime, hail attached
in every conceivable manner a quantity of
pewter spoons to the dog, released it from
captivity. Straight it flew to its master,
jumping upon him in the excess of delight,
and—rattling the spoons icilh a terrible din. The
Beast’s mortification was indescribable, and
fresh laurels from that day were added to his
spoony reputation.—Wilmington Journal.
John Allen.—Within the last few days
Allen has boasted of his success in deceiving
tho gentlemen of the Howard Mission and
everybody else who believed his promise to
abandon his evil ways; he has gone so far as
to tuinonnce an intention of resuming the
dance-house business, and to boast that he
will make more money liy the notoriety he
has obtained.—jVeio 1'orfc Sun.

Itate, the whites will bo so largely disfran

! l * > « < *—’—ir-M
The Radical press warns Democratic news
papers that the more they talk of Butler’s
rascality the better his chances for political
promotion. * The warning is not nn idle one.
It was proven that Bntler stole half the silver
ware in New Orleans, and the Radical party
sent him to Congress; let it be proven that be,
stole it all, and that party will nominate him
for President.—JSrcftamje.

T HE UNDERSIGNED 1 PROPOSES PUBLISHING,
at an early day, a work embracing :
A Historical aud Statistical Sketch of Savannah,
commencing with its earliest settlement and showing
its progress up to the present time ;
A idescription of its Railroad, Ocean, and River con
nections, with tho advantages of each Railroad and
lilitt of Steam and Sail vessels ;

A sketch of all Charitable, Historical and Medical
and other Societies, Churches, Ac., and of all points
of interest in and around Savannah ;
A sketch of Fortifications located near the city and

Id general, to make it a work of interest to the citi
zens of Savannah and the public generally; a work
which, by showing the present and prospective ad
vantage of the city, will tend to encourage a further
development of its resources and conduce to drawing

WHY SHOULD 1 INSURE MY LIFE EM THE iETNA?
Because it is always prompt iu the payment of its losses.
Because its profits are returned to tlie policy holders anu divided among them in propor
tion to the premiums paid.
Because,all its Endowment, and Ten Year Life Policies are non-forfeiting, by.the terms
of the Policy itself. ‘ i . ,
Because it is optional with tlio insurer whether he pays his premium all cash or half
note. If lie prefers to pay all cash, the iETNA offers all the advantages of an all cash com
pany, returning liis dividends to him in cash..
The rETNA LIFE has over TEN MILLION DOLLARS safely invested at interest.
The .ETNA LIFE has over FIFTY THOUSAND MEMBERS well pleased with the
Company.
The ETNA has an annual revenue of over'FIVE MILLION DOLLARS, and increasing.
The ETNA LIFE received over 15,000 new members during tho year 1867.
The ETNA LIFE has over TWO MILLION , DOLLARS SURPLUS above all liabilities.
The ETNA LIFE has $133 25 to each $100 liabilities.
The ETNA LIFE continues to pay.FIFTT PER CENT. DIVIDEND to Policy Holders,
and i to surplus is-not reduced, bnt constantly increases.
On tho Life Table the ETNA pays its dividend TWO YEARS SOONER than any other
loading Company.
Tho ETNA LIFE is honorabl3* conducted. Relying upon its own merits; it procures its
business witliojit ^assailing ,other, cqnqianies; and we ask every Policy Holder, also every
friend of Life Insurance, to encourage honorable competition.
; Companies that treat rivals honorably are unit likely to deal fairly by Policy Holders,
tiuduco no Company, although some Agents do us, intending to benefit themselves by
injuring us.
