I remember hearing some time ago ftory in which two world-renowrud l'hiladelphia actors were tho princi inlfl. It was told by a prominent l'hiladelphia manager, whse memory iho Sunday Mirror will doubtless pleasantly refreph. When this mana ger never mind his name waH phy ing the late Edwin Forrest in 1'hiU ilulphia. a certain bucolio gentleman fiom Norriatown used to coma down . to see the performance. When it was over he would go to the mauagi r and y: " , this thins is an imposition. Forrest can't act. He is merely a fhouter. I feel as if I have been do Irauded. 1 will never put my toot in side of a theater in which he plays " The next night the manager would go him coming out of the house, his countenance wearing a look of urea dissatislaotion. lie would go up to the manager and say to him: .Now 1 am deoided. This thing has gone too lar. The moro 1 see oF that man, Forrest, the lc;s I like him. i will never pay a dollar to see him nain bo all through too week, hvcry ninht the dissatisfied lomstown m:n ' attended, and every eight uttered the same complaint. On Saturday evening, the last of the engagement, the manager had just "counted up," and his share was to big that be, naturally, Jul t in high spirits, lie was standing at the door when tie JNorristown man appeared, looking as dissatisfied as ever. 1 here is no way of pleasing you, aid the manager. "Here is Edwin Forrest, wha draws enormous crowds, and yet who you say can't act. Will not anything suit you? 1 begin to doubt it. "I'll tell you who I like," said the Norristown man. "I like K. L. Uav enport. He is an actor. He is my favorite. So thoughtful, so intelligent, so intense! Sued versatility, such culture! It is a positive delight to see him! There is an actor." About six weeks after this, the same manager was playing E. L. Davenport. The attendance was very light, and the manager was standing at the door looking wistfully at those who entered, lie happened to go on to thesMewalk, and there he encountered the Norris town man making great speed. "Ain't you coming in ?'' akcJ the manager. "No," responded the Norr'utown man. "But your favorite, E. L. Daven port, is playing here. ' "That doesn't mko any difference." "Butf" said the manager in despair, "you said he was your favorite." "So he is," said tho Norristown nun to talk about. When I want to Bee acting, I go where Forrest is play ing." THE STOBY embodies, hotter thsn can any words of mine, the idea of the public. Thcro sr more finished, better disciplined, more versatile, more scholarly ac tresses than Mary Anderson, but it doesn't care to see them. The hand some Kentucky girl, with all her gen ius, and all her crudities, is more to its liking. It finds in her performances something not to be seen elsewhere natural iorce. freshness, magnetism, grandeur. I have eeen men argue for days about a stroke or two in oil, on the eouitenanceof a painted picture, but I never yet saw a man who ob jected to take a twenty-dollar gold piece because the figure of Liberty was notartistically proportioned. Uumus, like eold. will pass current anywhere. The metal is there. It makes no dif ference what is the ornamentation udod it In speaking of Miss Anderson's ad vantages, it would be absurd to at tempt to conceal oneoi the chief ones her private character. I have never teen a man, however he might talk, and whatever be might do, who did not, somewhere deep down in bis heart, have a feeling of respect for every good wonan. lhcre is no man so bate and degraded, but feels an honest admiration for any woman and everr woman he thinks ht to be named in the same breath as his mother and sister. Aodcru.'h this instinct as cus tom may, and fashion seek to, it will spring up just the same, and raie the hearts of men with it. A girl who can join professional ranks, and reach the pinnacle of its tame, without single stain on ber good na.ne, has fought and triumphed in the battle in which hundreds of young girls pf-rish annually. Surrounded as the sujfe is with temptations and pitfalls, to con quer where others tail is cer:ainly something of an achievement. I be lieve that this is one of the true causes of the high estimation in which Miss Anderson is held, and explain what so noted a writer as Loionel i'orney means, when, in speaking ot her. s.iys: "She has been the net of the public. and hag achieved fame and fortune for the asking. She seems t j have walked into the theater in the full develop ment o; all ner powers. J here is one advantage with which MISS AMjEESON HAD HAD Ni'TlHNQ to do. 1 allude to the fact that she has found a manager in her immediate family, one whose faithfulness, energy and service has not been dependent merely on the money he received, but on a deeper basis. Considering that the stage has always biej investr-d by adventurers, sharpers, vagabonds, hangers-on, that new actress have been the pry of their rapacity arid the plaything of their incompetence, that their ignorance has trampled down and their improvidence destroyed the best traditions ot the drama. Miss Anderson is, indeed, fortunate in hav ing nothing to do witlt them From the very start rf her profemional career, she has been well managed. The result is that she is to-day well established as an attraction. 01 course. good looks and the money to buy good clothes and the figure to wear them gracefully, are all important liuncts to the success of an actrcHS. To have one a picture in every cigar htore. every hotel, every stationery store, every photograph gallery in the land and in halt tho boudoirs, is a rug ad vertisement, but it is one ol the effects not one of the causes ol extensive popularity. TWO NOVELTIES Jliss Anderson has two novelties for her l'hiladelphia engagement. One is tho rrench drams Jfcrtiie, the Dauahter of liolande.' a rrench clas sic, as th heroine of which the soene is laid in the tiuio of Charlo- magna she looks very pretty, and the other is W. S.

MARY ANDERSON is but one person in a constituency of twenty thousand. Tha drama was a resplendent art before she was born, and it will flourish after she is forgot ten. Hut in surveying the whole field of amui-cments to-day, replete as it is with gifted and cultured men and graceful and accomplished women, all struggling either to retain their lame or to establish some ground ot recog nition, I can see no ono who furnishes so reassuring an example of what the truits are ot a worthy ambition hon cstlyand judiciously directed. And it is an onoouraging sign that an ac tress who has no millinery, no tradi tions, very little art, and still less training, can, by the sheer force of her histriouio gifts, gain universal acknowledgment as a great actress, and can, by the beauty and blamelesa ness ot her life, keep the admirers who her professional merits have won. THE AJUERICAN BTAQK , . is not rich just now in its tragio ao tresses. Charlotte Cushman is dead, Mrs. Bowers and Mrs. Lander have retired, Clara Morris is an invalid, Genevievo Vt awl plays but one part, Rose Eytinpe has lo6t her attractions, Charlotte Thompson has betaken her self to the wilds of the West and Agnes Ethel to the shades and soli tudes of private life. The only two remaining ones, that is, the only two tho puhlio evinces any desircto see, are Fanny Davenport and Mary An derson. Philadelphia monopolizes them both this week. It would seem like heresy to 6ay so here, but I veri tably believe that the estimate which Philadelphia places on their respect ive performances will have more weight in determining the success of , 1 1 - .

How MawKiu-huMPtN Soldiers Isatetl ut Richmond, The commission sent to Richmond and othcT points by the Governor of Massachusetts, to ascertain whether or not the statements concerning the deportment of the 9th regiment of that State while upon a visit to Yorktown were true, has mado its report. It bIiows, as was to bo expected, that some ot the stories of the misconduct of the men were greatly exaggerated, but it does bad that a number ot the privates behaved in an otfen.-iv and outragsous manner at luchinonu. They insulted girls upon the street, stopped a lady in her carriage, kissed wenches upon the highway, ordered drinks for which they did not pay, snatched up potatoes, cabbage, cto , from stands and pelted one another therewith, and generally behavid themselves in a way suggestive of any thing but propriety -or discipline. The citizensol Richmond sought rath' er to extenuate than to blame them, but the evidence of the gross misconduct ot many ot the men was too clear to admit of doubt. Having received the report of the Commission, which puts as good n face upon the matter as possible, the Governor has ordered that within thirty days tho calonel of the regiment shall ascertain and report tho names of members of his command who have been guilty of the misconduct charged, and failing to do so the entire regiment shall be held responsible for the delinquency. Speaking of the manner in which they were received in Virginia, the commission say: "We cannot close our report with out testifying to the uniform cordiality and courtesy with which we were re ceived by iho Governor of Virginia, the Mayor of Richmond, and the citizens of Richmond generally. The Mayor especially aided us in our in vestigations, and in an impartial and efficient vtay assisted us. in obtaining information and facilitatingourlabo's. All seemed desirous that we should ascertain the exact facts, without wishing to appear too conspicuously in the light ot complainants," Mr. Martin A. Connolly, a merchant in Oil City, Pa., writes: "I inherited ill health from my parents, who were short-lived. My wile is a sickly little woman, and has sufc'ered considerably. We have had five children, three of whom died in infancy; the other two, a boy four years of see and a girl ot seven years, have always been quit puny, weak, and sickly. Somo time ago I read s medical work that spoke of iron as being essential to life, that a want of iron in the blood was the principal cause of ill health. Shortly afterward I saw an advertisement of Brown g iron Bitters. I determined to try it for myself and family.

Chicago, November 22, 1881. A foul murder was committed yes terday in Evaostoo.a Chicago surburb. William Hassell, a well-to-do farmer, m i fin victim. A tramp, to whom ha cave a supper and shelter for the night, is supposed to be the murderer. Thn town is horrified and muoh ex cited over tho terrible tragedy. Tho old man must have made a despcrato struggle tor lite, as tuo walls ot his room were covered with blood. Blood and water were discovered in a wash Knurl and a suit of the unfortunate victim's clothes missing, giving proof that the red handed devil, alter mur dering him who had befriended him, had coolly washed the blood from bis hands, and robed himself in his vio tim's apparol. If ho is caught J udge Lynch will settle bis case right rapid ly. Numerous sittings of suoh courts in this vicinity, and especially in Chi cago, would be productive ol the great est good. Certainly. Chicago is H present cursed by tho presence of a host of the most devilish scoundrels that ever d - d any community. Day and night tho most shocking crimes are committed, and it is insane tolly for the most courageous to be out in some localities alt-erdark, . , Another big failure occurred to day, because of tho recent fluctuations in grain. The firm's namo is Isaac Mnvar k Co. It was consided one of tho strongest of tho Board. . . The Chicago & Northwestern rail road company has not purchased the Green Bay k Miunessota road. Chicago's distinguished Mayor, Uon. Carter II, Harrison, got into unexpected notoriety tho other day hy rap'.dly bustling out of his office Washington Hessing, son of the noto rious jail bird of the same name, known to this country as the "Boss" the Germans of Chicago. And "Wash" has booome prominent in this region as having been terribly thrashed as a candidate for Congress. It appears that "Wash" entered the Mayor's office to insist on tho city paying an account he held against it for advertising in his papa's paper, the Staats-Zeitung, In presenting his argument why the bill should be honored the son of his father forgot that he was addressing a gentleman, and used blackguard lan- guage to Wis uonor. mis causea iur. Harrison to forget the adage that "one must not touch filth without expect inir to ect defiled." Ho became wralhy and immediately, and in a rough man ner, bounced the political bully into the 'street. Somo persons consider that Mr. II. forgot himself when he stooped bo far beneath himself as to come in contact wun toe orawier. This may be all true enough, but it is more thsn likely the most conserva tive peace lover would have acted just as Mr. Harrison did, if assaulted in a like manner. There are certain Ger mans in Chicaeo who are so domineer ing as to wish to turn tho United States into a portion of tho German Errpire. They want German in the public schools, German in the law de partments, the laws to be published in Germaa and in German papers, and the courts to bo oonducted in GermaD; in fact everything to be run in German and by German "Bobs" Hesing, his son "Waeh." and their German organ, tho Staats-Zeitung. Mr. Harrison is too much ol an Amcr- lean to ao liss man nig ancestors oi i , .1 , - . c tbo Revolution did when they ever lastingly thrashed the hired Hessians.

Becoming rational, he was discharged, liut his spirit was gone and his mind weak. He commenced aellintf "pon corn" lor a living. In this role he became the target tor the vile jests of the young rabble on the streets, i maliy he went to cpring- field and there died. He was buried with Masonic honors. None know what the "morrow has in store for him." And it is a blessing the book is kept sealed. Chieaeo is to have two moro mag uificent elevators, each to ccst $12j,- (M).

Chicago 8 western limit's great attraction, has been re christened, and will hereafter be known as Garfield rark, in honor ot the martyred President. "Defamation of character." is th basis of a suit for $10,(XX) now being argued before Judge Anthony's court of Chicago by Miss Kitella Howard lgaiiitt Simon Heller, a dry goods merchant on Blue Island avenue, be cause he "insinuated" that she stole from him a parasol while purchasing some articles in his establishment. Last Sunday Archbishop l' eeban of Chicago administered the sacrament of confirmation to over CoO children at St. Stanislaus Catholic church. It was a cruel setback that one S. a Randall, of Spencer, Wia., received the other day in Chicago at the bands of a veung girl with whom he bad eloped. He left her in a restaurant while ne uuntea up muguiraie to make them one. During his ab scence she skipped out and joined her "true love," a young fellow who had followed her to Chicago, and both made the distance between themselves and the "55 years old lover" grow greater as time went monotonoiily by. Such is life. The coming "National Irish Con vention" to be held in Chicago No vember 30ih, and December 1st and 2d, will, it is sanguinely believed, be a grand success. Among the distin guished Irishmen who will be wel comed are named: T. P. O'Connor, M. P., T. M. Ilealcy, M. P., and Rev. Eugene Shcehy, who was lately ono of the "suspects" in Kilmainham jail. Mrs. A. M, rinn and a man named Slagle, both of Chicago, were lovers. Somehow a few hairpins got into Sla gle's bed which Mrs. Frinn failed to recognize as belonging to herself. The mystery she could not solve. Then she took a good dose of alcohol, hunted up hi r lover, and in his presenre shot a bullet into her anatomy close to her heart. It is likely she will soon be an angel. "Protection" buncombe scoffed at by Chicago iron-workers and other artisans. They argue that "protection" of homo in dustry does not protect or benefit the "horny handed sons of toil." It is the eapitalist, the monopolist who is benefitted. Ho can charge lor his wares a price equal to that of England with the protective tariff added, and the consumer has to stand tho pressure. They argue Btill fur ther that it the produce of the capi talist is to be "protected" against foreign competition, then labor in America should be protected against competition from the cheap foreign labor that 'is ruining our country. This is sound logic if protection of capital is to be tho cry, then it is in order to proclaim protection of labor. In England thirty or forty ot fifty thousand laborers may nrike without the fear that o ru-h will be m '!. 'rom Amorica by hordes ol peis . ti : i--tii to step into their shoes. But let n t nka occur in this oouutry, aud iut' mediately thousands upon thousand! ot Europeans take passago for our shores to usurp the places of those seeking their rights. And if tho strikers assemble in pub lio to proclaim tho wrongs heaped upon them they are hounded down as "rioters" and clubbed and shot at by over officious policemen. This was tho caso onjy a few years ago in Chi cago, and of which your correspond ent was an'cvo witness. This subject is worthy tho editorial ettcntiod of the l'CBLIC LklHlER. The Chicago National Bank baa re cently been established in this oity. Capital, 1300,000 aud limited to one million. Scats in tho .Chicago Call Board have been advanced from $100 to $1000. This niovo will virtually cut out the little operators. Tho Michigan sufferers received $52,000 from Chicagoans. In future the emigrant seeking an asylum in this country will bo better protected from the hordes of swind ling Booundrols who rob him at every town. The railroads running from the seaboard westward have deter mined to place official interpreters on each emigrant train. Tlieso will watch over the foreigner and ace that he reaches his destination in safety. This will be a hard blow on the sucuk thief and confidence man. General P. P. Maxey, of Brandon, Miss., was in Chicago yesterday. Chicago's police authorities intend to make it very hot in luture tor thieves, thugs and other malcontents. Superintendent McGarigle has issued an order to policemen and detectives to arrest and rearrest and imprison all known characters that aro known to hlong to tho proscribed class. The Riohborg divorce suit has been thrown out of court. When Mrs.lt. was placed on the witness stand, she iwore that the grounds for her charge of adultery on the part of her husband rested upon bis own declarations to that effect, and that he desired the di vorce, and pursuaded her to apply for one; but that she now did not want her petitioa granted, i he court saw tha drift ot Mr. Richbere's scheme to get rid of his wife; therefore nipped the matter in the bud. iir. n. is way down in Tennessee running some kind of a mint.'

New Albany 4 Chicago railroad is destined to create quite a revolution in passenger. and freight rates south. However, it will have a hard road to travel to get ahead of tho Illi nois Central. This corporation has done a great deal of gosd for Sout hern interests, and thereby gained a place in the affections of the people of that section that it will take a very long time to destroy, even if such a thing can be thought ot as among the possi bilities ot the future. Iratlio mana ger Tucker will not allow himself to be outflanked in hie department, and the passenger officials will not bo be hind him in catering to the wishes of the public. 1 he Illinois Central is a live corporation, and its officials all enterprising and go-ahead men, and their assistants are made of the same staunch material; and I may be par doned if I mention by name one ot the latter Mr. M. C. Markam, of Traffic Manager iucker a staff. He is all bust nesg. and courteous gentlemen to boot. Our friend. Colonel Jones, of the Louis7illc. New Albany & Cbi cago railroad, will find in tho Illinois Central people "foemen wortho of his steel. Express cars on the Chicago &, Alton are to have purglar proof safes, and end doors to the cars arc to be abol isbed, and side ones substituted. This will bo hard for the train robcrs. Saturday afternoon was extremely unpleasant in Chicago. It turned very cold suddenly, and snow fell like a cloud, while the wind raged like wild hurricane. However, Sunday waa milder; yesterday also, snd to day was quite pleasant with a pood pros pect ol mild weather for several davs. I hope all the Ledger peoplo will have a joyous thanksgiving. Nayr. X Kiud Word of Advice. If you feel yourself growing weak, your Btrengtb tailing, the natura functions of the body becoming im paired, take warning in time; your system needs iron, which, when corn biccd with proper vcgctablo extracts produces a tonic ot rare medicinal effect. Such a remedy is Brown's Iron Bitters. Buy it of your druggist and do not be persuaded to take a sub stitute, for this is the only remedy which gives permanent strength. It contains no alcohol, nor does it black en the teeth. It receives the univer sal indorsement of clergymen, physi cians druggists, and all who have used it S. Mansfield t Co., W. N.

If Mr. Blaine carries ont his inten tion ot making a trip through the South, he will find that section in its most hospitable mood, and thero is no people in the world capable of more generous hospitality than the Southern people. Preparation has been made at various places, even on the mere strength of a rumor of his reported trip, to give him a cordial welcome a welcome that will be lit bis official relations to the great country of which the Southern section is now one of the most promising parts. We tlo not believe Mr. Dlaino will find any evi dences of those offenses that he so per sistently charged against a large part of his country, but on the contrary, a people only too willing lo forget the slanders that he pctpctratcd in times of partisan heat, and eager to set him a good example of nutting the bitter past behind us and looking forward to a hopeful future. Wo have little fc-ar that Mr. Blaine will fail to make him self personally agreeable It is by personal means, by his undoubted but sometimes ridiculed magnetism that he has won most of his victories, and as be goes South with a purpose it is not likely that he will leave his bland ishments behind him.

It happened that he had his shotgun in his bands, thinking that he would need it to kill game. Suddenly he heard a sound in the air. which ho describes as cntial to the roaring of the wind,aml saw a large shadow on tho ground. Looking up lie saw a hugo bird swooping dowu uptn his son. As quick as possible he raised his gun and fired and was fortunate enough to bring tbo eagle to the ground. Lie nicked him ud and started homeward, carrying the bird on his shoulder. Suddenly tho eagle buried his talons in his right arm, and seized his kit with hi beak.. Mr. Abcr nathy called for help and his neigh bors, four in number, came to his as sistance. It required their united effor's to release the bird from his firm hold. When relieved he found that his arm was badly lacerated, the fleth being torn from the bono in sev eral t'laccs. Tho beak was sunk to the bono in the right hand. The eagle measured seven feet four inehes from tip to tip, and weighed seventeen and one-bait pounds, lie was never seen in the neighborhood before, and it is probable ho strayed from the coast.
