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.” in Maoon on He is in excel 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. THE Gen. John B. Gordon was Tuesday, and called upon us, lent health and spirits and hopefnl of the general result. Recently from a visit to his Iither in Alabama, he expresses his fear that Under the registry act passed, a few frays ? ince, by the. so-oalleil Legislature of tliat Itate, the whites will bo so largely disfran chised that the Democrats may lose the State—iVucori rdeyreqly , \ ! 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. 1 I < “ Justices’ justice’’ is again exciting atten tion in England. A young girl is now serv ing out a sentence of twenty-one days hard labor in Colchester jail for plucking a sprig of lavender from an open garden on a public road.- It is stated that California exported 41,700 tons of'Wheat during the month of Septem ber—:the largest month’s shipment ot wheat ever made from that country. It iis rumored in London that £he success of the revolution in Spain has had the effect 'to induce France to make important conces- sious to Italy- ! The New York Tribune, the Radical Bible, says the only objection to the confirmation of Gen. Rosecrans as Minister to Mexico “was the fact of his being a Catholic.” Already the Union Pacific railroad is des patching snow-plows to several points 011 the line, to fight the storms in the mountains.
