Among the many accomplished artists who have come from foreign countries to teach us how to play Shakespeare, few have more disünct qualifications for the task thaD the latest anival. Among the qualities of the new comer which fits her to be of service to our stage, must be couutud very attraclive physical gifts. Finer features, a more gracious presence, and a more musical voice, are possessed by no living aetress. M'lle Rhea supplies an intelligent, and in many respects, a de finable couception of the part. It is said to be a pleasure to listen to her banter of Benedict. As with syllabic articulation she pronounces the words of the part, an effect described in Bianca among the nightingales is reiished, and there is more thought of grace and music tban of short coming in listening to the lovely language . An oíd repróbate by the name of Torrey, about 75 years of age, who owus a farm ia Sharon, was at the county house a few days ago looking for cheap female lielp. He had selected one of the in mates who consented to go with him, and while she was getting ready, another one of the inmatcs - aformer victim - caught sight of the old Turk, and went for him in such a sharp and decisiTe manner, that he was glad to get away, minus his cheap female help. This Torrcy is the same old chap who was accused a few years ago of debauching a young negro girl he had taken to bring up. He was arrested at the time on a capias issued from the circuit court, but the matter was huched up in some way, best known to a lawycr in this city, and another in Adrián.

Carpenter, Manchester; Henry King, Northfield; Henry Paul, Pittsfield; Lancaster Gerton, Salem; Wm. Crane, Saline Patti's stocking slipped down whil sh was singing "II Barbiere" at New Orleans recently, and the musical critic of the Times-Democrat nearly turned a doublé somersault in bis attempt to describe the event. Hear him: "Her short Spanish dress afforded scope for the display of a pair of beautiful silk stockings elaborately embroidered with delicate rosebuds and tender leaflets. She had toyed with the notes of the middle register, playing with them without seemingly any effort, tnd had just purled out a flood of high staccati, when slowly down slipped the right stocking, rosebuds and all, until it hung abou; her shapely instep a limp and subdued maas, displaying an ankle of alabaster whiteness." It ppears to have troubled this gentleman much more than it did Patti, for she "quietly walked to the side scènes, when, presto ! she reappeared and the stocking was in place again, and th rosebuds were once more shining out." For some time Frankie Downer, son of Dr. Downer of Chelsea, has been in the habit of jumping on and off trains wliile they were iu motion. The boy was repremanded frequently, but forbearance ceased lonijer to be a virtue, and he was arrested, convicted and fined f 1.50, or in default of payment to be committed to the county jail for 10 days. He did not then pay his fine, and Monday marshal Geo. Foster, of the above village, started with Downer for Ann Arbor. It seems the railroad runs by the boy's residence, neaily a mile froin Chelsea, and as he neared the home of his youth, he ally feit a desire to signal his paients. He took out his handkerchief and commenced waving it, and then asked permission of the marshal to step to the door and "wave" it agin. Of course his wish was granted, and although the train was runniag at a high rate, Downer jumpcd off, and made his way back to the justice of fice and forked over $1.50. Marshal Foster was obliged to go to Dexter, where he purchased a return ticket for Chelsea. The temperance meeting Sunday was well attended. The speaker, Col. Beard, presented the question in a new light, and in a forcible and logical manner laid down sertain rules, which, if enforced, would tend lo lessen drunkennes?, in this state. He stated that he was not opposed to prohibition, bul arued that if the present law was enforced ninety nine hundredths of the crime would be lessenod. To enforce auy law, however, the policemen and constables should be temperance men : for a man who was in sympathy with saloonists could not be expected to summon a jury of reputable citizens to try cases when saloon men were made defendants before justices of thepeace. The speaker said you could not enforce the present law or any other law regulating the trafic, if the saloon keepers and their allies are permitted to serve as jurors. He was of the opinión that a majority of the people of Michigan were in favor of temperance, but as to the proper method to be pursued there was a difterence. of opinión. If the license law can be enforced, he would then go another step and say saloons should not be open af ter 6 o'clock p. m., and so on uuti) the business is killed entirely.
