I4th inst, at VA o'clock. Topic: "Infant Classes." How to toach an infant class will bo practically dumoastratod by Miss II. N. MOKKIS, with class of 75 scholars. Short addrosos by experienced Sanday School workers; oipers from Inriv teachers: nacllone of inteteat will tie rtiiu thai legislature who bad been bought Jntt like York bad bean, only with less monsr.

Ho was tho only ono that "told." He "told" in such a way aa confirmed what said. Against suoh a faot In the case of such a man as Pomeroy. Pomeroy own bought cattle had no defense or recourse They ha to "go back on him" to lave themselves. This was the Senatorial end of Pomeroy and the Senslorlil beginning of" John Jamea In. galls, who took his seat March 4, 1573, to hold it till Maroh 4, 1879.

In the Benite Mr. Ingalls haa been, within a limited range, as peculiar a man aa thoro ia in tho bo ly. His industry is remarkable Ills hia habit (o rial and atudy intontly. He is tbe student Senator. His eyes hive tho worn look of 1 nun who too print.

HIb shoulders have the scholarly sto. p. His hands havo tho long, clawllkc which goes with tin habit of scratching the soil of literature. Ii I rarely be apeaka. When he doss, it IS always nftor complete preparation, down even to phrases.

He is therefore distinctively Iltorary In hia effects, moro so than any Senator alnco Charlca K. Buckalow, of Pcnnsylva. nil. Ho la, bowovor, a man of much more knowledge thin euccoat in tho use of IL Thero is breadth or catholicity in him. Ho la moro radical than any oiler Senator, and moro sincerely ao than many of thorn aro.

Tho end of the law for righteomness unto him Is publicanlsm. Tho Republicanism of the party is only a part of his. He believes that the South Is a barbarous country, its Inhabitants Inhuman barbarians. Of course this ta the result of Ignoranca nnd pr judlco, but what ho reads and ponders intensifies his igno ranco and prcjudloo. Lcirnlng one side only of anything ia aa bad aa tho proverbial littlo leirnlug.

It la a dangorona thing to a gloomy, brooding, mystical, mechanical aud stiff littlo mini, like Mr. Ingalls'. Re construction in all Its rigor exprcssea less than would have had Inflicted. Statutes and Slates ore only obstacles to him In the duty of making everybody think aa ho thinks. Two hundred years ago ho would have found fab it at the stake for tbe undercooking of a heretic.

A man of absoluto convictions, they have done nothing but narrow him. A man of deep religious impression, religion his done nothing but embitter him. The soil of bis soul la too flinty for vlrtur and too iuhoapltablo for viooB. Nobody ever heard of him casting a vote againat his party, yet that party never went ii hia lengths. Ho la on recrl for believing John Brown to hive boen a greater men than Washington.

He seriously saallowg the merely professional iconoclasm of Wendell Phillips as tho gospel of statesmanship. Tho South ho would hare kept a collective satrapy forahuulred yeara. He would have orowdod the closo of tho Rebellion with oxecutioua. Ha la a mighty unpleasant man to take borne to supper with you. Thero ia a dismal discrepancy in all his xniud.

Ho thinks that the soars of slavery are tho only things worth contomplatlng. Free trade la a thing ho hss rejected ever aiuce he learned that it was a hobby of a slaveholder named Calhoun. The financial question he lets drift through hia mind. It has no place of desert or promlneuce comparable to the crluto of letting tho peoplo of South Carolina and Louisiana govern iheuiaclvca. Ho haa turned on Hayes, who called the dogs off from tearing tho South, all tho vials ol his malignity.

Characteristically, ho look a dramatic occasijn to do it. The owners of the present breed of horsoa iu Kanaas, whose grandslroi and granddamB John Brown atolo out of Miasouri, arranged list Summer for a meeting about that alleged martyr Mr. Ingalls wa3 asked to deliver "tho oration." He first paiutci up John Browa aa luridly aa Carlyle and the delirium tremens could point up Genghis Khan, and then ho delivered an aseault on Mr. Hayea vihich, for bitternesa, fiaa bean equalled no whero. It was because Usyea gavo tbo South a living Bhow.

Louisiana, South Carolina, Arkansas, Alabama and Texas havo been thumoa for fiver years of Mr. Ingalls' most virulent haranguos. Ills grievance, In any politics, is any white msu who was born in a slave State, or any other1 white man who thinks that tho Southern white tnau should have a ctjanco to get on, There ore no persona! or family wrongs to explain hia oiiestdodnesa. it is conettcutional with bun. Uo was beni in the direction of Intolerance, Tho trco has inclined In that way, Tho doiuinancy of falso viewa in American politics for so many yeara is accountable for by tl'ing just such a man aa Mr.

Ingalls is as a unit of measure. His aiunlitudcs are legion. Ho is of no uso to any actual preeoat interast of the country. Uo la unable to trust ovor one half tho people. Tbo crusading theory is all he haa of any politics or government.

That it Is a business arrangomont is no Idea of his. That evils arc things to get ri of gradually 19 uo idea of his. He would smash an old porcelain vaao to abolish a fiy speck on it. Subject to bis fanaticism, what faculties he has aro acuta. From a half ot falso premtso he is very logical.

Against tho crime of disagreeing with him he is very aarcostic. In favor of making people hate oue another, he cau make 1 special plea of great vchonioneo and ingenuity. But of real humor ho ia barren. Of tbo ability to uudetatand an opp neut he is guiltless. Caiiuor ho has none.

Any ostato in any Amoriranism which is not a policy of hell iu action, an I of Puritanism in profession, ho repudiates. Ho Is an intellectual malformation a middle axed fanatic ot one idea, and the one idea is a charlatanism. He never strives to make his parly better. He groans lhat it is making Itself lets and less. Account for It, he does uot try ti.

That humanizing iullueuces bate entered tbo poople, that men cannot bate or dlBtrust ono another forever, that practical questions must recur, are contradictious to him. He docs nothing to disgrace Ujr anything to mellow bis party. Democracy is to him the sum of all vitlanfes. Wueu It' pub licanlsm goes groni, it is because it Is getting Democratic. A century ago he would hive boon restrained.

In tho daya of tho Protectorate, be would havo suspected Milton for being on sposklng terms with Cowley. Now ho Is mado a Senator by a thievish State, which had to pick out a man of integrity for once, because tho thief of bor choice had lieon csugtit In the very act by a catastrophe. Aa half made, uuderbre 1, vitriolic sciolist, in a eoujtaut condition of political diphtheria, Mr. lull's Is is interesting an example of a comically serious and prejudice na o'ven the Smite of tho United Statoa affords. If his characteristic was Pharlseoiain, insload of fanaticism, ho would bo a great racal.

As It is, his bitoiry paralyzpB his moral qualities Into rectitude, aud makes him too keen in discerning the faults of an opp incut, to havo leisure or nimbloneas onou 'h cither to iinprovo or to hnmanis; himself, even by a fow failings, which would render him tolerable, LIFE IN LONDON.

In Uila country Cc.ristuns is a gror.t "institution." It one thing to read of the exuberant feni ivlty of Ihe season, It Is quite another to find yourself in iho thick of the excitement, as li surges around you in this great metropc lia. Tho preparations for tho celebration begin early to Dc oena r. In the princljial churches of the Establishment, in adlition to the regular scrrices appropriate to the season, special secjuoas arc preached during tha month, id all of which promlnouc is given to the advent of Christ eighteen hundred years ago.

People begin early in the month to wish rne another "A Merry Christmas."

So, to all the auburba of Loudon, to all places within an hour's ride or so of tho Brest city, to all the nearby pleasure resorts, extra trains aro run.

The kfudiy oflicol of charity, too, aro largely drawn upon al tins season. For days before the advent of Christina the newspapers atounil with appeals to Iho benevolent to contribute of thoir means toward making ttie unfortunate happy for at cast one day in tno year, so fr.r as an ample supply of creaturo comforts can contribute to that end and to tho credit of the well to do let It bo said that tho cull la not unheeded, for at Chrbit rcaa day the cli emoiynary lnsillutiona aro ibtiuoantty suppho with ibc means of making tho children of midfortuuo aud poverty forgot for a time tbo blttor neua or thoir lot.

Some Incidents in a Journalist's Experience How tue IlrlBlit Antlcipa lions of Confiding Vouth Compare With the Facta of Evcrr Day Experience. Mr. Thackeray somewhere I am not quite sore whore, but I fanoy in "PendonniB" sings tho glories of a literary oareer. Ho aaya that all tho capital a writer wants is aomo blank aheots of paper, a few pena and a bottle of ink. With theao ho may cloctrify tha world, chango Ministers, incita war and promote peace, and, In short, by tho aid of aomo paper, pona and ink.

ono man may beooma a colossal powor. I romembor being very much oharmed with tho idea mysolf When I first took to a literary career, Mr. saying was uppermost iu my mind. When, as a police court reporter, I exposed the entire hollowneas of the ayBtem by whioh small attorneys obtained largo fees from disreputable clients, Thackeray and tho blank sheets of paper floated boforo my montal vision, and I felt that I was a power In the world. When, however, natead of seeing my phillppio in a prominent portion of the journal for whioh I wrote, I received a letter from tho editor telling mo that my business was to report facta and not to draw conclusions, and that tho publication of my diatribe would have involved tho proprietors in forty seven distinct libel suits, I bogan to think tho world was indeed hollow, and Thackeray but a ahallow moralist In course of time, those unworthy feelings disappeared for a aoason.

I caino to hold a responsible position on a email provincial paper. I was permitted to writo leaders upon politics and all tho groat topioa of the time. And what leaders they wero 1 I was thrllloa to tho morrow bb I wroto thorn. When I read thom in "proof" I waa suffused with omotion, and, but that I did my work in an apartment only cut off from the composing room by a paper screen, I would havo burst into a frenzy of exultation and exclaimed, "The world is all before me, aud witn a few blank sheets of papor I will revolutionize it!" But I didn't though. In fact, I was afraid of tho foreman, who had a most disagreeable habit of coming into my sanctum and reading ovor my flnoat bit of manuscript invective or Bcathiug sarcasm, and asking mo if there was not somo mistake, and showing a query placed by tho proof reader in tho very middle of my peroration.

Wbon I spoko of tho Republican party being willing to "wado through slaughter to a throne," I know it was only THE MAIiEVOIBNOE OP THE COMPOSING BOOM that nearly sont mo to prois Baying that tho Republicans "made laughter at a bone." AH these things I am rolating took place in America that land of Journalistic freedom where tho Dationat reporter is equally at home in the salons of the great or the alleys of the poor, whero theforciblo language of a Nineteenth Century civilization is allowed free ploy, and the drivelling literary refinements of an ofifoto civilization are contemptuously scorned. Our journal had a circulation of some fifteen hundred copies, not Including returns, which certainly were rather large sometimes; and yet wo mada our contemporaries tremblo. When I expoaod tho fallacies of the Herald, Tribune and World, and spoke of the former as "an obscure sheet published somewhere in Now York," and pointed out tho "dastardly torgiversntion" of tho Tribune and "the blind and insensate partiality" of tho have known tha demand for my paper to bo so great that two thousand copies were unablo to meet it. my triumphs over nativo contemporaries wore nothing to those whioh I could boast of ot tha expense of tho leading journals of England. Whon tho onrfon IViiies, in a weak moment, presumed to criticise our free American institutions, what drastic satire I poured upon it 1 How Bcathiogly I referred to it as our "venerable but aenilo contemporary and with what original force I told it that it "had reached second childishness" and was once moro in "its swaddling clouts 1" Even this was nothing, however, to tho memorable oocasion on which I castigated tho Safitrdojf Review within an inch of its bfe.

Thia puny aheot once ondeavorod to reflect on American Journalism. I stood up on behalf of my brother pressmen, and so remorselessly cut up too Saturday Review toot tho wondor of all tho readers of tho Woomocket Palladium my Journal was that tho Review over appeared again. It did, howovor, but a marked change waa noticcablo in its stylo. Its criticisms of Amerioa were ever afterward of a mild aud doprccaling nature, as though tho wounds inflicted by my Palladium lash had not yet healed, TheBo wora some of tho glories of a glorious profession, aud a fow tributes to tbo nobility of tho calling whoso principal capital was a few blank Bheots of paper. My Woouaocket career waa not a long ono.

I found the local government of the placo a mass of corruption. I WROTE A SLASniNO LEADER, unfortunately, before I got my facts altogether, and gibbolod the oeroner as a modern Cataiinc. I rcmeui bor beginning the article with a grand classical quotation, "Quo usque tandem abitterc Vataliua patintia nostra and then translating it for tho benollt of tho uncultured readers, as "How long, Coroner of Woon sockot, wilt thou abuso our pati'juco 7" and then proceeding, "How long, oh minor minion of tho law, will you grow fat upon tha bowels of your felloiv ciriz. ns How long will you take your European tours, dross yourself In tho robos of wealth, your daughters iu Beai Bkiu and diamonds, glvo your periodical chowdor par tlos, your oft recurring clam bakes and drink your matutinal cocktails, while Woonsocket and all the world kuow that your legitimate earnings would only euablo you to breakfast off Iho economical slapjack and dino from tho farinaceous pomme de terre Are tbo poor to bo ground to tho earth your un hallowod luxury 7 Is tho honest oltizou, burdened with oppressive taxation and an oxten bivo family, to starve so that you may bo como sleek and opulent 1 Tho Palladium Bays uo Tho country soys no! The voice of freedom and morality, shrieking through the lurid gale of jobbery and corruption, echoes no no no This got mo into trouole. It so happened, thou, whon I wroto what I shall always ennsi the supremo literary effort of my life, tlio proprietor was out of town, and tho foreman, of whom I romarked that I stood fear, was laid tip with rheumatism.

Consequently I wbb an entirely froo ogont; and, as I say, I got into trouble. Long boforo noon of the day on which my article appeared the proprietor returned, accompanied by tho rheumatic foreman; and instead of congratulating me upon having made the Palladium's fortune, fow blank shootB of papor wero offorod mo on which to write an abject apology to the Coroner and the public, with tho.ohoico of attributing my 'attack upon tho former to temporary madness or chronic intoxication, or to both. I refused, and was thon and thero discharged. I stepped out into tho froo air and was immediately arrostod and brought boforo a juslico of the uoaco, when I wsb again offered a choice of alternatives thiB time botweon iurnishiuj bail of throe thousand dollars or going to prison for on indefinite timo. I the latter, as my Balary had not onabled me to save the sum noceasary for my bail.

I scorned to ask an ungrateful ooinniunity to be my seourity. EVEN IN PRISON, however, my aoul was not subduod. The myrmidons of the law would not ref uao ma a fow blank aheots of paper. I got them, aud clutched them to my breast. I burst into poetry, and threw off a great lamont after Campbell's "Downfall of Poland," only vory much more powerful, as will bo seen by this single quotation from it Hono for a soason bade tho world a long farowoll.

Ana freeJoin shrioked aj tho "Palladium" fell." The poem has never been published. Sncoossive editors have, with a fatuity born only of onvy, refused Jt, and I keep it by mo uutil tho freedom of tho pross is assailed by despotism or tyranny, and then the lament Bhall appear to bestow on its author imperishable fame. I was not detained long in prison. Somo English friends communicated with tho British Consul of a neighboring State, Lwho had mo released, while tho WooiiBOckot Coionor, with a pitiful Bhow of magnanimity, but which I could only thinly vailed the violence of his terror, withdrew his chargo against mo. I was a free man again, but, if I have not been incorrectly informed, the Coronor livod a inisorablo life, and tha declined in circulation and inllueuce and then slowly expired.

From the rmmy tnoruand of instances I could enumerate of tho power of a few blank Bheots, 1 will speak oi only one more. Somo timo after my do, irturo from Woomocket, I found myself ouo of tho editors of a country journal iu another part of the United States. We came out every Bfternoon, and my work was not very heavy. I wrote the leaders and the witty paragraphs and raviewo.l the curront literature. My ardent soul burned for moro glorious work, and 1 started a weekly journal in conjunction with tho daily one, which waa ull iomierd, wii and satire, and tha wholo of which I wrote myself.

I had as my only assistant, a drudge from the daily office, who never wroto an original lino in hia life. He was proud of being my "sub." I used to try to inspire him with tho blank sheet of paper theory, and told hun never to think of what ho his pen into the Ink, aud lot his thoughts como. But he said his though: nevor came, aud 1 think ho waB ritiht. I havo seen htm sit with hia long nose he had a singularly long, thin aud pointed nose almost touching tho paper, but nothing written boyond something like this "Tho Immortal Shakspearo has sold;" but never got any further, oven though I lent him my own book of faimlisr quotations. He wbb vory useful, though, aud when I happened to bo away and tho editor of THE WEEKLY KALAMAZOO SCnUTATOB was asked for, tho manner in which ho would aay "The editor is not in, but I ropresont him," was acknowledged to bo tho vory incarnation of modest faith in himself and glowing prldo In me.

I usod to publish rather personal artlelea in the Scrutator. It waa found profitable to rolato happy anecdotes about tho best known local men. I wroto a moat finished satiro upon the proprietor of a aowing machine oatabliahmont, who was as remarkable for tho freedom of his life as ho was for his devolopment of muscle and dexterity with revolver. Somohow or other I hesitated for a long timo about publishing this particular personal sketch. It was in type for many weeks until, one Friday, a Bhortneaa of "copy" and a pressure of othor business compelled me to lot itgappear.

I had an engagement in a neighboring city that night, and waa compelled to absent myrelf from Kalamazoo until tho following Monday. When I returned and Blood at the station wondering whether it was beat to go homo or to the office first, I met a reporter, who worked on our daily paper, and who ondeavorod to glvo me a graphio account of a scone whioh had occurrod on Saturday in tha Scrutator office. There had boen a great demand for tho paper, and also a considerable demand for tho editor. My "sub," exhausted with tho previous night's labors, did not appear until noon. Immediately after be was seated at his desk, and, just after he had applied bis first uincu.

of snuff to hia nose, a very tall, powerful gentleman ontored, and ia bland tones inquired "Is th editor of the Serutator in "He Is not," repliod my "aub," with his awoet emilo, "but I represent him." "Do you 7" aaid iho tall gentle take that And thereupon ho seized my "sub" by hia very long noac, and draggod htm but of bis chair, exolaimlng at the samo time, I'm sorry you aro only a representative, but give my oompllments to tbo editor, and tell him how much I regret that I havo not hia nose im my fingers instead of yours. I am the sewing machine proprietor. Do you understand 7" By thia timo ho had draggod my poor "eub" into tho public office, without onco relinquishing the hold he bad of his uoso. Then ho lot him go, and, being a tol orably good natnred man, whon he saw the pitiable spectacle of my poor "aub," with hia long noae doubled in leng'h, and tours flowing down hia innocent cheeks: laughod loud and long, and then went away. The last part of tho reportor'B Btory encouraged mo to proceed straight to tho office, whoro my "sub" was found with several patches of sticking plaster on either nostril, and a genorally limp appearance whioh quito affected me.

I tried to Booth him by remarking on THE NOBLE PEELINGS ENOENDEBED by using blank sheets of papor, ard said the oacrlflco he had made for me was one I would never forget, and did honor not only to himself, but to that noble profession of which he was a humble but reBpectablo member. My "sub," though well moaning, was always rather obtuse, and, professing to be very indignant with me, throw up his appointment on the epot. For tho rest of the time during which the Scrutator lived I had to represent myself, I easily made my peace with the sewing machine proprietor, who afterward liked nothing bettor than to visit my offico and furnlah mo with choice bits of scandal about bis friends, in order that thero should be plenty of epice in what I wrote on ja Scrutator's blank sheets of papor. The whirligig of time, with its powor of changing scene, oircumstanoe and character, brought me at last to the sober reality of editing a journal in a placo which might, if there is no objection, be called Liverpool. Inspired by the generous feelings which the Christmas eoaaon causeB to flow in all decent human breasts, I determined to present my readers with a Christmas offering, and, summoning my extensive Btaff around me.

I asked thom to prepare themselves for the production of a grand Christmas number. however, was not prepared to furnish each of them with subjects for their pens. I made many honest effort to do so, but finding topics, and then suiting them to tho varied capacities of my staff, proved to be a heavier task than I could undertake. It was in the last moment of despair that my old theory of the blank sheets of paper fiished upon me. It was an Inspiration, and seizing a large packet of virgin manuscript, I threw sections of it at the heads of oach of my contributors, with one only instruction, whioh was, "Stop when you hare said all you have to say, and remember that though Christmas brings good cheer and seasonable nonsonen, while there need be no limit to tba former, the latter can bo made nn bearable, as those who have read much Christmas literature very well know." This was aU I said.

Their efforts must speak for themsolvos. and as I took up my blank sheets without the faintest notion of what I was going to put on them, I may hope that my contributors who have had some Urns tor cogitation may improve upon my efforts, though they cannot exceed my desire to make the Christmas number a real boon to its readers.

An Account of the Rlso and Progress of the Fanatic Par Excellence of the Chamber of States How a Bay State Law Student Mode a Career on the Prairies The Saturnine Result of Exploding a Petard of Exposure Under Old Subsidy Pomeroy. John James It; galls ia on some accounts aa chnractorstic a man, in wrong respects, a there la in tho United 8tate. Ho is only 44 years old, having beon born in AHddleton, December 29, 1833, and is a tail, angular man, with a hungry, Caiaius liko look, from behind spectacles which rival in atiffnoaa bis wiry, thin and grayish brown hair. He waa unknown to tho United States whon ho was aont to the Senate, but he was not in any sonse unknown to KanBaB. A man of such petty actiTity in politics raraly gets into the Senate.

It will be seen that it took an extraordinary event to got him thero. Tho Massachusetts period of Mr. Ingalls' lifo had no effect on the Kansas part of it oxcept this: He went to Kansas bjoauao In believed it waa or would become tho Massachusetts of the West. He has dono his best to mako it so. By that, let it be understood that Mr.

Ingalls' desire was to find or found a Massachusetts of his ooucoptions, not nooeaaarlly a fac simile of the Bay Btato as it it, oniy a duplicate of what it aeemod to ba to him. Further qualification should be made. Tho Msssaohiisollj oi Mr. Ingalls' observation and admiration was a truly rural one auch aa Dawes, of PHtaileld: or Boutwell, of Groton or Wilson, of Natick or Hoar, of Worcester, havo represented. He grew after tho moat atraitest eect aa intolorable.

There was no slavery in Masaicbusetta. Thero waa somo slavery elsewhere. On that aecouat he was a furious anti elavery youth, Abolitionism and principles atriving for supremacy on his beaded brow. To add to this anti Biiveryism waa thia fact. To be an anti slavery person gavo vont and room for this farther quality, interterenc i.

Tho numerous class of callow collegians in rural Massachusetts who religiously believe lhat hell ia a placo whero everybody will be com pollel to mind his own business." had no representative in 1851 more characteristic, Belf sufficient and intense than tho person of whom wo are writing, thona freshman in Williams College. Tho ems of other people and States wore never forgiven in that class. Other States and people whoso institutions and viows differed from those of Massachusetts were not merely criminals. Massachusetts was the centre of tho earth. Williams College was tho centre of Massachusetts.

Tbe Freshmou's class oi 1831 in Williams College waa tho salt of the salt of tho earth. Tbe very fact that the akylfltted down ao cloao all round proved that WiUiainatown stead iu tho very contreoftho universe. It would, of course, bo unjust to hold a full grown man responsible for the follies of his college career. But when tho follies of the full grown man are found to bo tho evolution of the olhea of his college careor, it is ontirely in ordor to hold the follies of hia oolleo career reaponsiblo for, or typical of, tbo full grown man. Throo weeks ago, iu contradiction to overy Senator of any character or pretensions, John JameB Ingalls voted that Louisiana should not bo represented by Mr, Eustla, in tho Senate.

That act waa so naeleialy cruol that it waa sheer malignity. ItwaBBo abortively and manifestly menn that only depravity or fanaticism explain it. Such depravity or fanaticism ia tho folly of tho full grown and full blown John Jamea Ingalls. We well soa that it la of a piece with tho heroio agitation and prodlgous powor of criticising other people's all aire iu which Ingalls, tbe Freshman, took part In 1851. It ta easy and sslutary, however, to skip his college career almost altogether.

He graduated In 1855, and for two years thereafter ho studied law. Iu 1857 ha waa admittod to the bar, and in 1858 ho removed to Kansas. A person who had studied tbo faco or the llkcneaa of Mr. Ingalls ut that period would have predicted that ho would mako himself felt on tbo lower range of pjlitieal activity anywhere his lot might bo cast. He had onergy, intenBlty and application.

Ho had boen brought up to tho public profession of "earnestness," Ho had grown up to a community whore everybody had to work at something and whore tho tondency was toward half truth, and toward criticism, curiosity, iq. tjrferenco and gush. Ho hail participated In lha Fremont campaign 1850, Before that ho had watched tho long and cloao right of Banks for the Speakership. The qualities which are now known to inako "tho Waithaui Statcsinau" a humbug and a putty man wore thon unsuspected. His fine presence, resonant voice, tba giod fight which waa fought, not by him, but for him, tho fact that he camo up from nothing, tho delusion that out of nothing something would come, wero then at their full torce of effect.

It was into this wave of Repubiicantam that youndg In gallB waa baptized. Charles Sumner was ita apoatle. Henry Wilson waa its champion cauter. John A. Andrew waa ita philosopher and jihraso maker.

Georgo Ashm.uu waa ita beat corps commander. Francis W. Bird was its Thurlow Weed. Boutwell was us flaming evangel, and Oakos Ames was its "buBiucss pillar." There was so much talking on one aide of one question that every likely lad was made a politician, by tho mero act of being able to read, of uot being born deaf or of going to Sunday School, in 1837 ho was twenty threo years old. He was "a young lawyer." He had "a country and a duty." And out there was Kansas.

Appalling reports of it readied tho wide eared East. Greeley's Tribune coiitamel tho startling announcement that an army ol border rutfians, ten millions in number, picketed tho Missouti U.ver from Ljavouworth to St. Joseph, aud that they required eaoh on coming emigrant to pronounco tho word "cow." If ho called it "kcow" he was either burnt alive or made depart for Iowa. Such inflaming facta as theso, together with a shrewd oUBplolou that tne public profession of freedom could be mado to pay lo a loss crowded market for molality than Massac luactts, impelled Mr. Ingalls lo begin the practice of a caroer in Bleeding Kansas.

Hia rlso was sudden only in its beginning. After that it waa progressive.

The table givon showa that. Moreover, he was wiao as woil as "asoenaivo" in hia aucceaa. He did two things which few politicians aro sagacious enoti.h to do he saved enough money lo olllce to foun 1 a buainesB outsido of it. That business ho made a newspaper and be edited it just long enough to tin prcsa" hia abilities ou the peoplo, and not long enough to inlcrfore with hie plaus. When ho coined from editing it, he did not cease from owning in it or being able to "handle it." He lapsed, however, back into the law, whenco he started, and ho watted, Ono other conspicuously wiso thing was done by him.

He Identified himvelf with the unpopular sido of politics In tho Kansas Republican party, bocause he knew that if it waiteJ longest for its coronation it would wear Ita crown tho longeBt, That iB he took ground early and late aguinBt Jim Lane aud Jim Lane's "sido partner," Old Subsidy Pomeroy. With them for yeara was the reality of power in Kansaa. But thero were a few who well know that it waa foundod on corruption, aud when It fell It would fall forever, no matter whether it would give way to a now honesty or only to a new ring. Mr. Ingalla did not aocrotly oppose Lane.

He headed a bolt against tho Lauo party in 1802 and 1864, at each lime running a stump for Lieutenant Governor, being beaien and expecting to be beaten. At last hia time came. Iu 1872 the six years which aro all a Senatorshlp can bestow on any man, at ono time, even on a Pomeroy, had expired, or very soon would. Ho was of coureo a candidate for re election. Ho had been a Senator for twelve yeara.

He had attained not only to tho possession of tba greatest fame (aud funda) as a lobbyist, but ho was alBO a strong woman auffrago man and could beat oven Henry Wilson in a Washington Cily prayer meeting or a Sunday Sehool address. Moreover he became the original of Dillworthy In Mark Twain's and Charles Dudley War ner'a book, "A Gilded Age." Times, however, wcro not propitious for Pom. Ho was boing found out. Jim Lane, himself a murderer, had died a terrible death by his own hand. That event started honeaty and horror to uttoranco even in Kanaas.

Lane had been succeeded by Edmund Ross a plain, honest man, who had had tho manliness to vote agalnat Impeachment, That aot Kansas to thinking. Rosa was aucceedod by Alexander Caldwell, who had had to rcalgn mid term, for discovered corruption. This act everybody thinking Won't Old 8ul eldy'a term como next 7 or, Will he bo amort enough to bold out 7 Pomeroy went to Topeki, however, and soon fixed thlnge. Ho got tho cauciiB nomination without difficulty, he played outwardly the gmo of an Old Publio Servant who ought not to ba stricken dono. Inwardly ho played a game which even more inwardly somo played with a veogeanca oa him.

When the day of election camo on tho Legislature, State Senator York roao and said that he had meant to vote for Pomeroy, and ho had 7,000 reasons for doing ao. Those rceaons, however, ho would now give and return them to the Presidont of the Bouate, to bo by him returned to Mr. Pomeroy. Thoy wero $7,000 which Pomeroy had paid to him, the night boforo, at a lite hour, on condition that he would vote for him. Senator York added that, hearing that money wis being uaed, ho had resolved to And out.

Ho had pnt himself in a way to be bribed. He bad beon, and thero waa the money. Of the receipt of and of the circumstances attending it, he had provided himself with witnesses. Such a scene Bad never before occurred in the history of any Legislature. The coDelernsUon and fluttering were Immense.

A great deal of surprise and indignation were lmprovlied most succeisfully. Pomeroy was denounced, it wu deplored that auch a thing as corruption had dared lift Its bead in Kansaa. At that moment a Stentorian voice from a back seat called out, "Let's end this by electing honest John James Ingalls Senator." The ballots showed a full vote for him. There is no reason to believe that be knew anything of the York Job put up on Pomeroy, or at aU expected to profit by It. He was rasdo Sonator on ihe revulsion 'against Pomeroy 's being found out.

Something graphic, distinct and antithstie, had to be done at onoc His old time and long time standout against Pomeroytam and Lanelsm Instantly brought him into men's minds.

The roaaon is plain. Business at the low priced theatres ia first class. At the $1.50 thealrea it continues bad. If tho managers of tho latter houaes were fools, they could not help learning tho lesson this As thoy aro In tho majority oi cases gontleuien of superior inteligence, their better judgments will prompt them to soon buc cumbto tho Inevitable. The houses of Capulot and Montaguo.tho Uafou Square and Wallack's, aro holding out to tho last, the one not wishing to come down before the other.

Wallack is, perhaps, bettor Able to lone mono than his neighbors around the cornor, and t'Je playB produced by Mm this season have been too good to foil of drawing moderately good houses even at he TO standard of admission, whoroaa those at the Union Square have, so far, this soaBon, been very bad Eoeculationa from a financial, if not a literary point of vlrw. What Manager Park Thoatre will do in this matter, we ara unablo to say, but his boing a star houf gives U3 reason to believo ho will hold out at the present high rates at least for the balance of the season Mr. Sotheru'a engagement just ended at thiB theatre 1ms provon ft vory luoratlvo ono to both him self and Mr. Abbey.and now Mr. Raymond's engagement 1b iikoly to continue tho good buslnaas for tho enterprising young mauagor.

Mr. Raymond appears at the Park Thoat.ro on Mondoy night in the now play of "Risks." This play is a very risky ono to attempt, sinco it has met with but passing success In the Provincos. Plays that fall in ouo city aro more than likely to fall in aU. Still wo can call to mind many pieces that hnvo Bucoeefled womlorftilly in New York after meeting with lukewarm receptions In other oilios, and it is to ba hoped "ltisks" will prove ono of this class. Mr.

Abbey has mot with deserved success from tho fltst week of his Now York managerialjcarcer, ami ho is likely to enjoy his next Summer's vacation to tho full with tho pleasing knowlodgo of having put his Winter's season to tho very best uso possible. Wu forgive Cnlloy Clbber all hlu many mistakes and blunders with tho text of Shakspearo after Boeing tho origiual "Richard III." as now acted ot Booth's Theatre by Edwin Booth. Tho oritles toll us this original play is a much moro Intellectual production than the Clbber vorslon.and ono appealing in a greater degree to tho oulturod classes. This may bo true, but wo pretor tho noting odition of tho plcco on tho stage, and wo claim tho play, aa now produced at Eooth's, to bo far too cumbersome over to becotno popular outsido of the study. You can hardly namo a play of Shaksooare that has not been more or lees cut to render it bettor BUitcd for the stage, and tbla is especially true of tho stories and tragedios.

Many of tha most beautiful passages aro sacrificed simply because of thcir groat length, and wholo acta aro cut out in some instances for tho Batne reason. Judicious pruning of this kind, oven with tho text of Shakspearo, is desirable if it gives us a better acting play, for tho chief merit of ail plays is their adaptability to tho stage. This may sound Uko a truiBm, but it iB very often forgotten by those who protend to write for the stage. Cinuer condensed "Riohard aud th 3 re BUllisa play lull of aotion, and not weighted down with long speeches. Booth throws Clbber's work aside, and the result is a metaphysical study of oharaoter.

All very well for tho clonet, but very much out of place on the stage. We aro surprised bo old an actor could havo made ao unprofessional a mistake. "Itlchara as played by Boolh, is In short too long, as our Celtic cousm would say. It Is absolutely todioua, and we hope Booth's good senso will prompt him to return to Ciboer. MoJjeska'a success at tho Fifth Avonuo Theatre has decided Mr.

Flsko to continuo her ongagomont for one week longer. Much to the satisfaction oi the oritica and many sho is announced to appoav on Monday next in Camillc, a part that is likely to diBplay her wonderful dramatic power to Its beat advantage. Tho character of lies in thesamo school as that of icii'ie, tho emotional, but it is a for moro artistically drawn role. Excepting Clara Morris, there is pr sbiuly not an actress in America bosido Modjeska capable of doing this part full juatios. Mr.

Fisko tells us business ban been all that could bo desired during the engagement of showlngjthat the public havo not lost their appreciation of true talent on tho Btage, grumblers to tho contrary notwilhs tanding. Wo have been treated to so many amateur and professional amateur versions of that it will bo a grand troat to seo the part acted by a genuine artist. Miss Katharine Rogers will shortly mako hor appearance at tho Filth Avonuo Theatre Nearly forty stars and leading people have already ofleied their services for tho Brougham bonofit, whioh is likely to prove tho very largest affair of tho kind over held in our city. A very largo number of tickets have be sold nt a premium and many outside contribu ti ius sent in, and tho benefit is likely to net betwoon twelve and thirteen thousand dollars. Among tho prominent actresses and singers who havo offorod their services arc Mme.

Modjeska, Miss Rose Coghlan, F.mma Abbott, MisB Clara Morris, Mme. Ponisi, Miss Iialhariuo Rogers and MIsb Eflle Gormon. Tho great benefit lakes place Dext Thursday afternoon and evening at tho Academy of Music, undor tho direction of Mr. Lester Wallack. A mixed programme has beon decided upon, in which each volunteer will appear in his or her strongest charaotor.

A grand chance to seo everything all at once. Mr. Heller soys of his second sight business, Tt is not Spiritualism, it is not ventriloquism, but it iB ism," and wo believe him. Everybody for tho past year has tried in vain to find out how this second Bight "trick" is accomplished, aud all kinds of impossible theories art advanced to account for it from puro Spiritualism down to coucoalod wires and electric battcrlos. Heller still calls out triumphantly, "What is thi7" and Miss Heller continues to give tho correct answer in overy case, even to telling us tho letters engraved on tho in of a finger ring.

Anything aud everything that Hel'ier looks at Mis3 Holler seems to see. "If it's a trick," says Heller, "you will admit it is vory well done. If it is not a trick then you must acknowledge that you are very well done." ThiB iB all tho satisfaction ho gives us, and what is more it is all we are likely (o obtain In the matter. Perhnps, gontlo reader (all readers gsntlf), you can gnin r.n insight into this second night, and if you can you will accomplish a "great moro than thousands of others have bson able to. Heller is doing a good business at the tasteful Fifih Avenue HaU on Twenty fourth street, and it is a real pify th' place fe not larger, for wo havo seen people turned away for want of standing room.

Thij sounds quo 'r tlieso hard times, but liko tho cousclen liiyi George vou know tho rest. "An una iMssstary expense" is the way the business manager at Tony Pastor's sums up the shorl ongage n.ent of Dr. Landis at that houne. "Tho papers all gave him a dressing out, an'l we are glad of it," added Mr. Deliuvcn.

"If ho ever oecurcs another onage ni. jt hi. our become as as ho is," oon truu 'd Tony's right hand man. In fact the Doctor's siock is not worth ono mill on a dollar at Pastor's, and it .1 never lik.ily to bp again. Wc hnvo had coa'sion to in ution before that Tony was right up to dato with all hir attractions.

IJo now aouonnces for next week a pi. with tho timely titll of "Mrs. Hicks' Husband." Of course, there are several dozen Mrs. Hicks in Now Yor lr, aul Pastor does not say to which of tho Hicks matrons his play refers. We can draw our own inferences.

Tho boy actor, Edwin Byron, appears at Paa tor'B next wcak.and the Spaullinga troupo of beUringorsj vocalists, harp and cornet soloists will also bo in tho bill, along with tho well known Fontainbloaus and tho standard favorites, Add Ryman and Billy Barry. Mr. Pastor now claims to be doing tho largest business oi any theatre in the city, and although his expenses for salaries alone foot up to $1,800 ho is making money, aud plenty of it. Ono of om moBt outspoken woeklies has como forward with a strong editorial against the many dona and sink holes of crime in our city that exist under tb0 nam" of concert saloons. It is vory dillloult to attack these places through the press without benefiting them, but If the extortions and impositions practiced by their keepers could bo properly brought before the public, we thlak tho result would be greatly beneficial to tho morals and also to tho pockets of tho foolish youths who frequent them.

Liquor of course, is sold in nil of these dens, but at twico and sometimes three times tho price usually charged for it. Tho patrons of those places nro also made to pay a heavy premium on everything in tho smoking lino, and in short you may eipect to ba imposed upon from tho moment you enter ono of these holes until yon leava it. In many instauces the keepers of these places mako you pay an entrance foe for what 7 For the privilege of patronizing their terribly high priced bar inside. Suppose Lord Taylor, or Arnold Conatable should demand fifty cents or a dollar from each of their customers before allowing Uieni to trado at their stores. How many sales would thoy make a week do you im arrinc? But this is precisoly tho imposition that is being nightly practiced by tho disreputable keepers of tho ao called concort saloons upon their foolish patrons.

It iB astouishiag that even boys can bo so duped. Wo aro to havo Mr. Wallack back again on his own stage in a short time Ho has purchased a new play from tho very successful London dramatist, Mr. W. 8.

Gilbert. Mr. Wallack has a very strong part in the piece and one peculiarly suited to him. It is a light comedy role, with a desh of melodrama running through it. Just enough to mako it slightly romantic The scene of tho play lies in provincial England, and all of the characters in it are thoroughly English.

Miss Rose Coghlao ia to havo a vory pleasing part in the'play, and Mr. John Gilbert is cast for a role ovon better calculated to display his flue acting than that of Pro asur Tracy in "Won at Last." Slrakosch, if ho brings Mnrle Rozo and tho rest of his company to Now York, will probably succeed for ono or two nights, until the publio has hoard the now aingor, and then his is likely to wane, as thero Is nothing remarkable about his troupo to make it draw for any length of time. He will probably como, fail, and blamo fie Now York public for not gofug into raptures over his now found prima donna, who is a tolerably fine Bingcr and nothing more. If Strakoseh expects a fine season in Now York wiih his present company he will bo terribly disappointed. As he has disappointed other people so often, perhaps a little of his own physic will do him no harm.

A fashion writer, in speaking of an evoning parly, eayg the "the supper was served at midnight to alow music by a concealed orchestr." Wonder if the chicken salad et cetera, agreed with tho "slow mu6ic," and by tho way, how very odd for a concealed orchestra to suddenly play the rofe of waiter. Will Hoketcomb. LONG ISLAXD NOTES.

A woman in Sag Harbor had a physician to prescribe for her.

Sho had no occasion to pay for filling the prescription. The patent medicine, or something she thought to ba it, effected a permanent cure by causing her death.
