Late advices from the hog- Jtilling country tell us that the price of soap is going up. Small note* in abundance are to be ready for issue at the treasury department on the first day of November. But how are we to get at them * That’s the question. Those French counts visited Niagara re cently and concluded that the great falls was a roaring suocess; in fact, the only thing m New York they could not dis-couut. At last Gov. Campbell, ef Ohio, has won his fight and fired out the corrupt board of public improvements at Cincinnati, after an acrimonious wrangle between legislators, who immed ately adjourned, much to the relief of the state. Young John Bright, son of old man J. 8., says l*e is coming over to see us. If he doesn’t undertake to lure us to a large, roomy apartment aud grasp our dollars under pretext of lecturing us, we shall be most happy to see John. Speaker Reed says that ‘‘protection stimulates invention.” That may be true to a certain extent. At all events the ad vocates of protection evince a remarkable fertility in invention. And some of their stories are Blightly apocryphal, to say tbe least. Recently a San Antonio man went gun ing for his wife, as seine men have a fash ion of doing, but he was drunk at the time and shot the wrong woman by mistake; then killed himself. Bmt that was very poor consolation to the “wrong woman.” Yet it was lucky for the wife, and it is only fair to presume that she will very much enjoy getting left on that occasion. Yankee sharpers have been “doing up” the London jewelers. Two women end a man were recently arrested for beguiling some S7OO or SBOO worth of trinkets from unsuspecting dealers by various illusire proceedings. But it is very doubtful if they are really Americans. Nearly every stranger In London who does anything re markable is now immediately prunounced an American. Dr. Thomas H. Pritchard, of Wilmington, the leading Baptist preacher of the state, and editor of Charity and Children, a weekly church paper, in this week’s issue has a terrific three-column attack on Ham Jones, who held a revival in Wilmington week before last. Dr. Pritchard attended Mr. Jones’ meeting. His arraignment of Ihe evangelist is very severe, and is creating a state sensation. But the evangelist of high jinks will probably blackguard the good doctor virtually out of his boots in the course of returning hit compliments. In a sensational four-column, double leaded article th# Chicago News claims to have discovered that the nickel ore aupro priation resolution, which went through congress during the last days of tbe recent session, was a job in the interest of the Standard Oil Company, and that Senators Sherman, Payne, Hale, Gorman and Con gressman Boutelle, with Ritchie, the world’s fair commissioner from Ohio, were involved In the deal, and that the conspiracy was a national scandal equal to the Credit Moodier, ,- uch a thing would surprise no one who watched the course and character of tbe lost congress. Furrier developments will be awaited with no little impatience by the public. Do Your Duty. It is cot necessary to say to those who | have watch- and the course of tbe republican j majority in e ngress that it will require 1 not only a majority, but a very large ma j jonty, at the polls nf every district to ke-p a democratic c ngr-ssmaa iu bis seat in the next House of Representatives should it be i republican. Indeed, shou.d tbe force bill ! rass, it is exceedingly and ul tful whether any : democrat will be aumitted fr. ra those dis tricts where there shall ha, yea to be even a : large negro popu.auon. This di trict contains several counties which have a large proportion of negro j population. But it is derm cra'ic by an overwhelming major.ty, if the entire party rote is po.led. It is Wril known however, that here, as elsewhere, an ex raordiuary etf rt is being made to Drug out a heavy republican vote. Large sums if money have been rai-ed by the Republican party to buy up votes, n t oniv i the south, hut in the nort i, east an 1 west. Of course the colored voter in the south does not get any of this money for the reason that, as a rule, if he votes at all he cas s his ball t blindly according to tbe directions of his leader. These leaders, however, are paid for their service* and must make a good -how of earning their wag s. Therefore j they are doing everything possible to get cut their followers, and doubtless will suc ceed iu polling a much larger vote than usual. In view of the-e facts there should be no lukewarmness or overconfidence upon the part of the democracy. Every democrat in the dis rict should see to it tiiat every v to within bis purview is cast for Mr. Lester. This is no time lor divisions on minor is sues. No merely persona! preferences or prejudic- s should influence any man suf ficiently to divert his mind from his present imperative duty to his c untry. And the m' st important duty devolving upon us all to-day is to put forth every legitimate effort to elect a democrat to represent the Firs* district in the next congress. Profits in Republican Politics. Immense fortunes have been made by those who were in the secrets of the leaders of the Republican party in their successful efforts to Increase the duties on foreign goods. One dealer iu tinware in Philadel phia is said to have made a million of dol lars by importing tin in anticipation of the passage of the McKinley bill In other eastern cilie# those who were in the confidence of the party leaders bought largely ahead in antic ipation of tbe passage of the bill, and were well rewarded for their faith in the power of those who dictated to the republicans in the House of Representatives as to how they should vote. It Is said tiiat tbe present stringency in the money market is to a great extent owing to the large amounts sent t > Europe early in tbe summer to pay for goods imported before the McKinley bill went into effect, and which goods are now stored in government hooded warehouse! awaiting the inevitable rise in prices In this market. With the enormous profits made out of their investments, those well-informed re publican importers and manufacturers can well afford to contribute liberally to the fund for buying voters to fasten more surely the tariff unequally upon the coun try and sustain high pmoas until they have realized on their speculations. With tho money of the millionaire monopolists of the north and east to buy the floating vote there and in the west and the ne gro vote of tho south (which can be had very cheap by buying up the so called leaders), it should he a much easier task than It appears to be for tbe Republi can party to keep control of the govern ment and eventually dethrone the sovereign people and constitute its three autocratic leaders—Reed, Lodge a,id McKinley—a triumvirate to rule with ruthless despotism and incidentally rob the country. If the people are ready for that sort of a regime they have only to vote for the repub lican candidatee for congress. General press denunciation of the Italian assassins ef the obief of police of New Or leans bas elicited some vigorous protests from the Italian papers. One in New Or leans indulges in a very windy tirade of very bad tempered abuse, the gist of which follows: “With a courtesy worthy of ignor ant persons only you assume to speak with contempt ot Italy in general and of Sicily, the beautiful, in particular. Do you know what Italy is and what is Sicily? No, cer tainly not. Because otherwise it would be a shame to contrast our motherland with your own uncivilized, so-called land of liberty. If 398 years ago the “Dago” Christopher Columbus had not discovered your present country you would still be iu your country of Europe leading a life of misery and dying, perchance, by force, wait ing for the help of public charity.” Such iusolent language as that does not tend to temper public sentiment toward even the soidisant better class of Italians if this writer is a fair specimen. Another protest of a more diguifiod and becoming character is said to have bean sent to the state depart ment in which the Italian minister set forth that “the Italian colonies of the United States, and especially the colony at New Orleuns, view with horror the assassination of Chief of Police Heunessy, and express the earnest hope that the murderers will be speedily dis covered and punished; but m the meantime they request that justice shall not be influenced by wrong impulse's, and that the misdeeds of a few guilty persons shull not reflect upon the many thousands of honest and innocent Italians in this country.” Concerning that Mr. Blaine is said to have telegraphed the governor of Louisiana. So long as any nationality maintains secret organizations if an unlaw ful character peculiarly its own and then offers no a distance in bringing offenders to iustioe, just so long will tl.at wnole nation ality be suspected of complicity in the crimes of its compatriots. Solemn and serene Philadelphia has de veloped tbe most depraved blackmailer yet heard from. After conspiring with his family to blackmail a merchant, with the aid of a beautiful 14-year-old sister, wheu the victim refused to be bled he got at least a portion of the money by selling out his kindred and betraying them into the hands of the law. So tho merchant lost something after all, and the rascal’s scheme was not so complete a failure as it deserved to be. Count Herbert Bismarck has been getting himself engaged some more. This time it is Countess Aune Conradine Berthe Pluten of Hanover, aged 17. If she cau manage to hold her grip on his somewhat battered 41- year-old heart until a minister can be sum moned, they may be happy yet. THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, OCTOBER 27. 1890. Savannah in 1600. There is no doubt that toe Macon and , Atlantic nod the rtout i Bouad raiiroals will ; be running trains into this city before this time rest year. The first njer.t, ined rail road is a part of a great system which already extends to Falatka, Fla., on the i south, and which w.li soon extend to Bir mingham in the west. The Sj uth Bound ! rmlr a 1 has been projected to the Soutn 1 Carolina railroad, and from that point will be built to a connection with tae Robla ! eon, or Roanoke southern System, wh.cU is the rival of the Richmond and Danville and the Plant and Coast Line systems; There is also a very fair prospect of the South Bound baing extended to Florida. These new roads ruu througu countries already well settled and therefore reedy to contribute to the business of Savanuaa. Tnere is a rumor that the Savannah, Americas and Mon goinery railroal will build into this city as soon as it has com pleted its road to Montgomery, Ala. To these positive and procpec.ive aids to Sa vannah’s progress may be added the Middle Georgia aud Atlantic rail road from Atlanta to this city which was receutly granted certain privileges by the city council. With these ent rprises completed it is not pradicting beyond the possibilities when it is asserted that before the close of this century the city will be fairly well built up to Soathover junction on the south, the Fair Grounds oa the west and Waters road oa the east, aai that 100,000 pe-ple will be living within those boundaries. Crime Under Hypnotic Control In a recent number of the London Con temporary Review a writer cites a num ber of illustrative instances to show how entirely pissiblo it is that the greatest crimes may with perfect impunity be com mitted by hypnotists, or at least upon or with the aid cf hypnotized persons. Many of the most intelligent observers share the belief that the source of hypnotic power resides not in any abnormal mental or physical development of the hypnotist, but is derived from some rneutal defect or deficiency of the person hypnotized. It that be the case, persons so affected are powerless to resist the insidious influence. While asleep they would be helplessly ex posed to injury. Should tbe si *eper be in fluenced to commit some hszirdous act while in a hypnotic condition the possi bilities of sustaining injury are greatly in creased. Only a day or two ago a hypnotist in Paris was sentenced to a long term of penal servitude for extorting from a somnam bulist a check for $2,000. This brings the matter before ue iu au unpleasantly force ful way. Experiments have undoubtedly demon strated the possibility of influencing sleep ing subjects to commit almost any act toward which their fettered faculties were directed. Not only is that pis-ible, but subject! can be made to carry out, when awake, suggestions previously made to them while asleep. To satisfy himself of this, Dr. Charcot is said to have told a hypnotized Parisian gendarme to go to a certain spot in a garden, and ossasinate the president of the republic. Immediately the man stole softly to the place indicated, and made a vicious stab at an old tree that stood there. Returning he then fully confessed his “ guilt. ” , This Is strikingly similar to a very old feat of mesmerism. But in the past this influence has always been attributed to some oc ult power of the mesmerist rather than to any mental peculiarity of the subject mesmerized. In his recent book on that subject Dr. Albert Moll, of Berlin, says that the longest interval he has over known be tween the hypnotizing of n subject nnd the act prompted thereby wag four months. Meanwhile ho says that no reference what ever to the purpose in view had boon made. That sounds very remarkable. Just here it may be as well to suggest that this singular physical phenomenon may measurably explain some of the very ex trao dinary instances and peculiar phases of kleptomania and other similar mono manias that have recently ct-me conspicu ously into public notioe. And it is not unreasonable to assume that ifiany of tho most wonderful have, because of their marvelous success, never been discovered. Beyond question hypnotism may be employed by unscrupulous persons for evil purposes. Now, what can be legally done to protect the public against abuse of such knowledge? That is the question. Without medical examination and friendly admonition to put them on their guard, those who are particularly sus ceptible to hypnotio influence are wholly un protected and praottcally at the mercy of those who are capable of exerting hypnotic power. 1 ast Avgust the British Medical Associa tion, then in session, protested against pub lic exhibitions of hypnotic phenomena. Still the public is sure to ultimately And out the facts anyhow. So there is little harm to bo anticipated from that beyond exciting a general desire to explore Its mysteries and practice its effects. That may constitute a sufficient objection to it. Still improper use of the phenomena can only be made in pri vate. To the proposition that the liberty of in vestigating these phenomena shall bo lim ited to the medical profession several weighty objections may be urged. History does not give medical men credit for a i un prejudiced attitude on this subject. They have always manifested a disposition to ridicule wbat they oould not understand. Should the whole matter be altogether given over to their hands, the world would thus be deprived of any discoveries they could not make, or would not disclose. Others, how ever, learned in scienoe, would by that means be excluded from investigation and experiment. Yet it is only fair to assume that the world’s genius for scientific re search is not wholly confined to the med ical profession. Like all other wonderful natural phenom ena, hypnotism must have some useful pur po,e, and the sooner it is discovered the better off shall bo the world. Meanwhile, we must try to protect society against the dangers of diverting its uso to improper purposes by administering exemplary puu ishmont to such offenders. One of the most signal victories lately won by the English liberals was the capture of the Eccles divirion of Lancashire by a vote of 4,901 to 4,698. The preceding elec tion resulted in the choice of a conservative candidate by a vote of 4,277 to 3,985. This change of sentiment was due to th 6 return of the union liberals to tfce party fold. Ral lying ot the Gladsto.iian forces srenis to be earnest and genuine.

After the per ormauce he betook nimseif to his room to and velop them. lie appropriate*d the red g.obes over the ball lamp and pro;-ftre lto ex clude a 1 actinic light from his room by stuffing up the keynote in the door leading to the hah and covering the tra -som. He had just com menced th? developing process when there carr.e a vigor us rapping on the door. “Well?" spoke up Mark in an annoyed tone. “Open that door." said the voice without; open it lively, too.” "Wait justa moment, I‘m busy,” answered Marwith an indignant accent on the word "busy.” “Of course you are." replied the voice out side. a little more gruffly, "teats what loin rapping here for. Coin;, open that door, or I’ll brojA i: in." T ds decia-a .on was emphasized by a heavy press ire against the thin panels, which made them creak ominously. “What's the matter with you?" again spoke up Mark, interrogatively, as he balanced the plate on the side of the light. But the answer t* this was another attempt to force the lock. • Finding it useless to parley with the stranger without, he covered Lis cherished plate care fully aud opened the door with an indignant -Well?” “Weil," repeated the hotel proprietor, for it was he, “you can't como that game here You can t fool me by stuffing up that keyhole and covering ti e transom. You can’t turn on the gas. gi to bed an 1 wake up a corpse.

In the morning Mark changed h s quarters. Cornered by the Reporter. “Until recently upon reading in the papers interviews with public men on subjects about which it was evident that the very man who wai unbosoming himself to the interviewer desired to say nothing at all fnr pub ication, I always wondered that he should talk," said a member of the board of traue to a Chicago Rost, reporter. "Apparently it was not at all difficult for the interviewer to get his in“orina tiou. ‘But,' says Ito myself, says I, if ‘ever a time comes in my career when a reporter wants to get any information from me that I wait to keep to myself that reporter will go away empty-handed.’ Well, g -ntl -men, the time came a few weeks ago, wheu I had to make an assignment. The public were very anxious to learn the reasons, and the newspapers legitimately sought to supply the information. But I was mad and didn't want to b - interviewed and to a gentleman who en tered my ofiice aad announced himself to be a reporter, I said that nobody connected with tile firm was in. “Ts nobody belonging ia this office here?” he asked, 100 .icg at me und several of my em ployes. “ ‘No, sir,’ I replied, ‘nobody.* “ ‘No one here has any interest in the concern, eb?' he responded as if disappointed. “ ‘No, sir.’ said I, congratulating myself upon the ease with which I was turning him off. " Well,’he said, after a moment s thought, ‘I don't know as it matters. I only want a Couple of these chairs.’ And suiting the action to the word, he tucked two handsome leather backed cha rs under bis arms and started with them for the door. When I recovered troin u y astonishment I ran after him and ordered him to put them dowu. ’ " ’Do you own them?’ he asked. “ ‘Yes. I do.’ 1 said. " ’Very well, then, you must be the gentle man I w ant to see ’ "He had me. flier* was no denying it. and as I aamire any one who is master of his craft I took him into my private office aud told him everything.” Here’s a Tall ‘ tory in Fact. I recalled the incident a few days ago, says a writer in the New York World, as I sat in Trinity listening to Phillips Brooks’ noontime talks. It happen -d in the spring of 1883. The four of us had gone to Europe together—Dr. McVickar, of Philadelphia, Phil ips Brooks, and Mr. Robinson, the builder of Boston's Trinity church. Robinson stands 6 feet 2 inches iu his stockings. Dr. McVickar measures 6 feet 4 inches, aud Brooks exc eds 6 feet in night. Robinson is sensitive about his lengtb. and sug gested that in order to avoid comment the three tall men avoid being seen together. Arriving in England, they went direct to Leeds, where they learned that a 1 cturar would address the working classes on "America and Am ricans.” Anxious to hear what Englishmen thought of tue great republic, they went to the hail. They entered sepvratly, and took suits apart. The lecturer, after some uninteresting remarks, said that Americans wore, as a rule, short, and seldom if ever rose to the hight of fiva feet te l inches. He did not know to what cause be could attribute this fact, but he wished he could pre sent examples to the audience. Phillips Brooks rose to his feat end said; "I am un American, and, as you see, about six feet in hight, and sincerely hope that if there be any other representative of my country present he will rise.” After a moment’s interval, Mr. Robinson rose and said: "I am from America, iu which country my hight—six reet two-is the subject of no remark. If there be any other American here, I hope that he will rise.” The house was in a jolly humor. Waiting un til the excitement could abate in some degree, and the lecturer regain control of his shattered nerves, Dr. McVickar slowly drew his majestic form to its full hight. and exclaimed: "lam an .” But he got no further. Theaudlenoe roared, and the lecturer said no more on that subject. They Are Well Matched. If Miss Mary Leitor bas become engaged to Sir Charles Hall, she has done well. He was tbe chief of the English delegates to the mari time conference, which sat at Washington last summer, fall and winter, aid altogether the ablest member of the conference. He got it to do pretty much what he wanted. The English government appeared to appreciate his work, tor it conferred knighthood on him as soon as he bad returned to London. Miss 1 eiter’s father is a Londoner of tbe Hebrew race, who made some millions of dollars as one of the great dry goods firm of Fial!, Leiter & Cos. of Chicago. After he had retired from business, about four years ago, be went to Washington and rented from Mr. 11 aine the hmdsome house which he built, but has never occupied. Neither Le ter pere nor Leite:- mere is polished iu manner. In fact, Mrs. Leiter is one of the most entertaining successors of Mrs Jlalaprop ever 8 en or bead. Moit amusing tales are told of her mistakes. But the daugh ter is agreed by every one to be charming. She was a success at Washington, New York and Newport, and Senator Lispenard Stewart was one of her admirers. Sir Charles Hall is about 45 yeai n oid, and is re uted to be one of the best admiralty lawyers in England. He is light-haired, blue-eyed and smootn-shaven. His manners are delightful, and he was very popu lar in Wasuington. He was one of the lew dele gates to the conference, by the w ay, who could address his fellow members in English, French or German on some obstruse point of navigation law and then lead a german in tue evening In London society he is a favorite. They Uidn’t Know the Game. Some amusement was evolved from tho trial of Joe Thiers for gaming in the circuit court yesterday. The only witness examined, says the Memphis Avalanche, was Louis Weisier who sat at the table vvnile the game was in prog ress. He was asked what game it was Wit ness did not know-. He said that since gambling laws had been enacted the names of the games changed so often tie could not keep up with tnem. H -knevv.hov to play it. but that was all. He proceeded then to describe it. Five cards were deal', be said, and then as he said something about tbe cards being turned up Gen Luk > W right, counsel for Thier<, said in a tone of deep disgust: "Why, that ain’t poker ” Gen. Peters seemed to be posted He said. “That’s stud poker, isn’t it?” aud seemed quite .ami.iar with the modus oterandl Then tue witness explained that when the buck was passed to a man it was his turn to bet “Th-- buck?" saidl the judge, wonderingly. The qual ities of the buck were described, and then the judge aud attorney, always excepting Gen Peters, seemed to be at a loss to understand how a man could bet on a hand four cards of which were exposed until the whole thing was explained. Still it lckd a name. One sug gested baccarat." Gen. Turner thought it wes "acrobat," probauly getting the idea from tbe agility displayed by the chips in changing hands, but as it was conceded that it was not poker, and as the indictment cnarged noker the case fell through on account of toe £w |n toe indictment. ln Horsford’s Acid Phosphate.

It is computed that before tbe end of the century the metropolis proper wLI ! hold its 5.C0A000. A town in England, Skiddaw, Cumberland, stands url a:-- r.s a township of one boose and on ■ solitary male inhabitant. This man is de pr.ve.i of r !< vote because of the fact iht there are noov rseers to mak* out a voter’s list, and no church or public building on which ti publish one, if made. There are 20,0X1,000 scree of un-urveyed land in the state of Washington, and much of that great extent of country is almost impenetrable, bring covered with a magnificent growth or the finest kind of timber. Surveyors have literally to cut tneir way every foot, because of the thick under orusa. Nine-tenths of the rariins sold inthiacoun try are made in California, an i yet California raisinmakers ship all their best good3 to New York and have tnem boxe l aad narked as If they came from Spain. They claim that the public looks with more favor on imported rai-in-'. and for this reason they are obliged to go to all this trouble. “There was a deal of doub’eness,” says the Lewiston (Me.) Journal, "about that double wediingat Tho mu*, ton this week; the brides' famers were first cousins: the brides had at tended the Thoinasion schools and normal sc 00l together, anu they will now live together at Hotel Paxton. Omaha; the gentlemen are in business together, and have been very success ful.” The report that the Swiss had become tired of W illiara Tell and his apple seems to have been somewhat premature. The people of the canton Uri have just resolved to erect to tis memory a bronze statue seven feet high on the open square before tbe city ball in Altorf. Te l will be represented as standing alone "in bold, determined, defiant posture,” with the cross bow in the Laud. An important innovation bas been introduced in the shape of a machine for preparing molds for casting. The machine is designed to pro duce a complete mold at ona operation, and thus to replace skilled hand labor in making m Ids from pattern plates. It is claimed that a lad can operate the machine w,lh the assist ance of a laborer, and is able to ram and mold as many as 1.090 boxes per day. Miss Kate Field in her newspaper wonders not why so many supreme court justices havo di *d of late, but. rather, wby any member of tie court should be left alive. She ettributss the fatality among them to the fact that tne court a lows no recess for lunch, the result being that the judges “snatchbitek as beat they can, and go home so hungry that they are ready to swallow everything put before them at din ner." It is a great uity. site adds, that there is no chair in school or college delicate i to the science of living. She might have added, further, that with a return to a war tariff the science of living is daily be oming more diffi cult to understand, and that the real problem will soon be not when to eat. but how to get food enough. An incident of the battle of Waterloo, beard from the great duke himself, was toid by Lord Shaftesbury, the philanthropist, to the late Sir G-orge Burns, in whose biography it is civil by Edwin Hodder. At one moment in the bat tle t e Duke of Wellington was left alone, his aides de-camp having been dispatched with messages. A gentleman in plain clotbes rode up to uim and said: "Can Ibe of anv use, sir?" The duke looked at him asd instantly said: "Yes; take that pencil note to the commanding officer" (pointing to a regiment in the heat of the engagement). The note was taken aud de livered, its beurer ga'.lopiui; through the thick of the fight to execute its commission. After the battle the duke male every inquiry, but never could find out to whom he was Indebted for this brave service. Hi told Lord Shaftes bury that he considered thir. one of the most gallant deeds that b I ever come under his no tice, seeing that it was done without prospect of ! honor or reward. Dr Al Laboulbene, at the meeting of the ■ French Entomological Society, held on March 13, ISS9, gave a short abstract of a paper pub lished in 1888 by an Austrian physician. Dr. Terc, who seems to have made extended ex pertinents for a number of years. Dr. Terc asserts tnat a person stung by bees acquire.? * th- reby a relative immunity from the conse quences of subsequent stings; in other words tnat the virus of the bee sting act* boa vac cinal inoculation against its own poison. The immunity lasts six months, sometimes less, probably according to the number of stings in flicted on a person. Persons suffering from acute rheumatism require a large number of bee stings to feel the usual effect of the poison, but as soon as by inoculation of a sufficient amount of virus they have acquired immunity against its effect they will—as long as this im munity lasts—be free from rheumatic attacks Dr. Laboulbene suggests that, iu tbe interest of medical science, it would bo well to thoroughly test these assertions. Although a monk, the late Dr. Chrysanthos Joani ies, Bishop of Kiri n, who died in Cyprus the other day, and and not spend his life in the clois ter. He dv< tcd it to the improvement of ele mentary Christian education in the Bland With but scanty resources, he did much work quietly and well. In years of drought, when the peas ants through the failure of the crops, were re duced to th-veig* of starvation, "Papa Chry santhos,” as ho was affectionately called, was foremost In his efforts to alleviate their distress by distributing free gifts of wheat and or ganizing relief funds. Unanimously elected by the people to tbe vacant See of Kyrenia n May. 18b0. the day of his consecration was the occa sion of great rejoicings, aud hii sudden death has caused deep and universal mourning When bishop of Kyrenia he had no episcopal residence, but hired a suite of apartments in a monastery in the center of his diocese for himself, his arch deacon and chaplain, and the rigid domestic economy which he prac iced enabled him to de vote a o msiderable portion of his income to the poor and for educational purpo ies. A Pall Mall Gazette interviewer thus quotes Henry Irving: “What is natural on the stage is almost always unnatural off it. It is the ap pearance of nature, not nature itself, that we have to present. To go back a moment to the quest; n of conventioi alism, always remember a good actor hides even that as far as possible. There must be no suggestion of effort. The essence of acting is its apparent spontaneity— its accide it, if I may say so. You may object that the tragic actor is hampered by the State liness of his lines, but remember that there i? a medium in all things. If his declamation is too measured, the sense of truth is at once im paired; if, on the other hand, it falls only a snadow of a shade below the level of appro priate expression, the auditor’s sympathy is instantly chicked. ‘The union of grandeur without pomp and nature without tnviaity i-- of all artistic ideals the most diffi. cult to attain. A good actor not onlv has to establish a har non/ between his voice and action, and the poet’s lines, but he has also to establish a harmony between himself and his hearers. People say ail actor is born, not made and that is true as far as it goes; but, ju tas no painter ran succeed in pure ignorance of technique, so r.o actor can make much progress till he has mastered a ceitain mechanicism wnich is w ithin the scope of patient intelligence The parts that are easy to me are Louis Xl’ and‘Mathias,’in ’The Bells,’ though the nub ile think differently; ‘Hamlet’ aud ‘Machete’ are most exhausting.” A grim story of a swindle comes from Cali cut, where cholera has been raging, especially among the Moplabs, who are ohammedans, aid very fanatical. The other dav a young man appeared and announced himself as an esne Cially holy’priest, able to heal all sickness and capnhle even of destroying the cholera Peoole flocked to hear him preach, and. when he said that if 4,000 rupees could be collected for him he would undertake to cleanse the city of its awful scourge, the poor wretches gathered to getnerall their small savings and laid them at his feet. In a surprisingly short time the sum was collected, and then notice was given that a procession was to be formed the next dav when the ceremony of the ejection of the cholera would be performed. The following evening tha streets along the beach were thronged and a most extraordinary scene ensued. First came the priest riding a led horse. After him followed strings of nearly nak and men. with ashes on their heads, who worked themselves into a frenzy bv dancin and yelling. Next came a palanquin, clos-lv ' T. h i ,ch WM anp OM *d to contain tae cholera After this again, crowds and crowds of Monam rredans, groaning nnd shrieking “Allah r% It was wierd beyond description.
