On the arrival of .the express train from
the East on Wednesday morning, a gentle
man whose wife (a lady of fine appearance)
had returned by it, sprang upon the plat
form of tho sleeping-car in which she had
traveled and met her just in the doorway.
In a second she was gathered to his bosom,
and he hugged her and kissed her, smooth
ed down her hair, patted her on the back,
kissed her more and more, backed off to
arm’s length, inspected .her critically, and
then tried another hug, all the time obliv
ious of the presence of a score or more of
people, who were anxious to get in or out
of the car, the door of which he was block
ading. The lady was the first to realize
the situation, and remarking, laughingly,
'‘There, that will do!” she made her way
back into the car, blushing like a rose,
"while the crowd that had witnessed the
little scene smiled audibly.— Sacramento

Mr. J. Milton Turner, United States
Minister to Liberia, was asked by a Cincin
nati Enquirer reporter if emigration to that
country was still going on. Ho replied:
'‘There is an emigration from the Southern
States of the ignorant and acted
upon by the agents of the Colonization So
ciety, who appear to make their living in
that way, and without any particular ref
erence to the weal or woe of the class they
operate upon. In this connection, Ido not
wish to .include the well-meaning philan
thropist who contributes his money for
what he believes is a good cause, nor
would I advise the abolition of that society
as such, but I would advise them to contin
ue their labors, but change the object;
namely, that instead of encouraging emi
ts'i ation from this country, they establish
schools for the education of the aboriginal
Africans among the tribes on the soil.”

la it a Bugaboo or Reality ?
In Mr. H. W. Grady’s special tele
gram to the Constitutionalist, pub
lished in our edition of yesterday, the
following statements appear:
Mr. Hill has a following that in power,
number and enthusiasm no man has bad in
Georgia in many a \ear. His victory ot
to-dav will organize this following into a
party. When the President announced
that Mr. Hill was elected for the term of
six years, Speaker Bacon corrected him,
saying: “You should say for the term of
his natural life.”
Mr. Hill has been ostensibly elected
by a Democratic Legislature as a Dem
ocratic Senator. And yet, on the very
heels of this election, Mr. Grady, an
intense Hill man, plumply informs
the public that this victory “will or
ganize Mr. Hill’s following into a
party.” What kind of party ? Some
months ago, Mr. Grady gravely and
specifically told us, in his most inter
esting correspondence, that the elec
tion of Rev. Mr. Felton would split
the Democracy, and that Mr.
Felton would be the leader of
an opposition party. We have seen
no evidences of this revolution since
Mr. Felton’s election. Is Mr. Felton
still bent on making Mr. Grady a pro
phet, or has he surrendered the leader
ship to Mr. Hill ? We simply ask for
information. We are willing to allow
much for the enthusiasm of Mr. Grady
and Mr. Speaker Bacon, but venture
the hope that Mr. Hill may be satis
fied as a Democratic Senator, and not
seek to “organize another party.” If he
should do so, we venture to suggest that
Mr. Speaker Bacon’s free gift of a
life interest in the Seaatorship may
come to grief, and .that the people, six
years hence, with proverbial fickleness,
may have new idols, while the politi
cians of that day proceed to wither the
hopes of Hill as they are said to have
provided sticks “to break the head of
Norwood.”
But let Mr. Grady, in his brilliant,
panoramic way, tell us about the new
party and how Mr. Hill is to organize
it.
The People and the Politicians.
Whoever sent that dispatch from
Atlanta to a Northern paper that “the
people have beaten the politicians once
more, and the South gives another
Henry Caly to the Republic,” must
have allowed his Hill- mania to get the
batter of his sober senses. Any one
would suppose from such a disinge
nuous dispatch that Mr. Hill repre
sented the people, pure and simple, and
that Norwood was the puppet of a po
litical conspiracy. Now, we take no
stock in that sort of talk, and believe
it to be unadulterated poppycock. We
believe that Mr. Hill was elected by
superior wire-pulling upon the part of
the most adroit politicians in Atlanta,
backed up by the press and residents
of the Gate City, who no doubt con
sider that they represent the People.
To fortify us in this view of the case,
we have the testimony of the Hon.
Patrick Walsh, whe telegraphs to his
paper, the Chronicle and Sentinel,
under date of the 26th, as follows :
Ex-Governor Brown rendered valuable
service to Mr. Hill and contributed
largely to the defeat of Mr. Norwood.
Nearly all of Gov. Smith’s support went
over to Hill before the vote was an
nounced, and Walker’s supporters, four
colored members, went at the same time.
It is believed that the programme was
arranged last night, which worked so suc
cessfully this morning. The resolution
carried yesterday dissolving the joint
session elected Hill and defeated Nor
wood.
Whether willingly or unwillingly, the
names of Governor Smith and Governor
Johnson were used as sticks to break
Norwood’s head.
A man who is not prepared at a mo
ment’s notice to sacrifice his beSt friend
and sell out to his bitterest enemy will not
make a successful legislator.
Is ex-Gov. Brown no politician ?
Were ex-Gov. Smith’s supporters, in
Atlanta, politicians or babies? Were
the men who used the names of Smith
and Johnson "to break Norwood’s
head,” mere innocents abroad? Did
not cunning and crafty politicians fix
up that ‘‘combination” which worked
so well; and w&3 it not a political trick
to get up Hill mass-meetings so
called, in several counties, to create a
pressure upon Representatives? Where
fore, while not so much objecting to
Mr. Hill’s election, we protest
against the bald statement that it
was the victory of the people over the
politicians. It was no such thing. It
was the victory of one set of political
managers over another set—only that
and nothing more.
But the saddest part of Mr. Walsh’s
dispatch is the concluding paragraph
above quoted, that "a man, who is not
prepared at a moment’s notice to sac
rifice his best friend and sell out to his
bitterest enemy will not make a suc
cessful legislator.” Yerily, these are
stern words, but all human history at
tests their general truth. We trust
that Mr. Walsh will make plain the
reasons impelling him to an utterance
which we are satisfied is largly founded
upon fact. Mr. Walsh has been in
public life long enough to comprehend
the wiles of political maneuv
ering, and when he puts such
a burning brand upon the "suc
cessful legislator,” it is time for men
who do not aspire to rule mankind to
thank God that they can remain in an
humbler sphere, where it is permitted
at least to stick to friends and
not sell out to bitterest enemies.
As for Mr. Hill himself we have no
personal feeling against him. We have
time and again borne cheerful testi
mony to his commanding talents, his
phenomenal eloquence and his aspiring
soul. We have not always agreed with
him, but we would not willingly do
him an injustice. Now that he is
one of our Senators, we recognize
In him a remarkable man— one
who has it in his power to make
a glorious name for himself and
add another chaplet to the glory of
Georgia. We shall rejoice if this be
so, and it may be that our joy, under
such circumstances, will be all the
more valuable because it comes not
from the mass of hia enthusiastic
friends or blind idolaters.
A lady at the inaugpral ball pro
nounced Judge Herschel V. Johnson,
“the most magnificent man in Georgia.”
The New Lady Macbeth.
(From the Daily Chronicie, January 6.)
Since Miss Mary Anderson made her
debut, about one year ago, her career
has been a continuation of brilliant tri
umphs. The young tragedienne has
created a sensation wherever she has
appeared, and has received encomiums
of praise from press and public never
before accorded one of her age (seven
teen years), and last night on the
boards of the National Tneatre, her
first appearance as “Lady Macbeth,”
she achieved a success without a par
allel in the history of the modern
stage. All who have known and seen
her have prophesied that “Lady Mac
beth” would be her great character,
and certainly her most sanguine friends
must have been more than satisfied at
its rendition last evening. The
stride of which some have com
plained in “Juliet” was lost in the
tragic queen. The great volume of that
glorious voice was brought fully out,
clear and full, rising and falling with
the emotions. Every facial expression
and every gesture were in ac
cord. She lived the great role,
and held her audience spell
bound. Her reading, intonation, de
declamation, and gestures were fault
less. In the first act her great power
found vent, and during the chamber
scene the audience was carried away
and outcroppings of applause were
manifest at the end of every sentence.
Space forbids an attempt at lengthy
criticism, and it would take oolumns to
do her justice. It was a grand success,
and we only hope those cavilling
creatures who have complained that
she had no sentimental whine or sickly
simper for, as they term them, the
“tender passages” of other plays, may
see her in this, her great and complete
role, and then worry their wits to pick
some flaw therein.
(From the Daily Nation, January 6)
Miss Anderson’s conception agrees
with this examination of the character,
and from the motive words down to
the scene when, overpowered by her
rush of guilty sense, she flings herself
upon the chair where “Banquo” sat she
constantly portrays the purposes of
the author with a brilliancy of fore
sight and an exhibition of genius with
out precedent on the American stage,
and far beyond the seeming possibili
ties of a woman’s nature. Her first ap
pearance last evenißg—before she had
spoken five lines—was warm in indica
tion of her ability to master the great
est and grandest of Shakespeare’s con
ceptions. Her look had the stamp of
bistronic affair, and her words came
with such an aptness to the
look as to hide all semblance of
art. Her success in holding forth the
wife as the partner of “Macbeth’s
greatness was no less marked than the
terrible effects she weaved around
their mingled crimes. In reserve, at
the necessity of it, and in burst of pas
sion, she was equally strong—shifting
from one extreme to another with a
seeming lack of art —earnestly, how
ever. Her acting in the banquet scene,
while not so free of stage “business,”
as we have seen it, was extremely
subtle, and when the guests had gone
witnout standing upon the order of
their going, the relaxation resulted in
a climax that none in the audieuce will
ever forget. In a word, Miss Ander
son’s first appearance in the character
of “Lady Macbeth” was a triumph
such as she can never hope to repeat.
It sends her at one bound to the front
rank of tragedians.

Schneck’s Pulmonic Syrup, Sea Weed
Tonic,
AND MANDRAKE PILLS.-THESE D£-
servedly celebrated and popular medicines
have affected a revolution in the heal
ing art, and proved the fallacy of several
maxims which have for many years ob
structed the progress of medical science.
The false supposition that "Consumption is
incurable” deterred physicians from at
tempting to find remedies for that disease,
and patients afflicted with it reconciled
themselves to death without making an ef
fort to escape from a doom which they sup
posed to be unavoidable It is now proved,
hr.wever, that Consumption can be oured,
and that it has been cured in a very great
number of cases (some of them apparently
desperate ones) by SCHNECK’S Pulmonic
Syrup alone; and in other cases by the
same medicine in connection with
SCHNECK’S Sea Weed Tonic and Man
drake Pills, one or both, according to the
requirements of the case.
DR. SCHENCK himself who enjoyed un
interrupted good health for more than
forty years,was supposed at one time to be
at the very gate of death, his physicians
having pronounced his case hopeless, and
abandoned him to his fate. He was cured
by the aforesaid medicines, and, since his
recovery, many thousands.similarly affect
ed have used Dlt. SCHENCK’S prepara
tions with the same remarkable success.
Full directions accompany each, making
it not absolutely necessary to personally
see DR. BUHENCK unless patients wish
their lungs examined, and for this purpose
he is professionally at his principal office,
corner Sixth and Arch streets, Philadel
phia. every Monday, where all letters for
