old.  He  Is  of  medium  Ulght,  is  slender  and  erect,  ' 
and  weal's  a  clo.Hely-button(.Hl  coat..  His  h(jad  Is 
small,  the  forehead  evenly  rounded  and  sloping 
backward  with  too  groat  rapidity.  Ills  hair  is 
gray,  ami  worn  as  if  much  lime  had  been  ,

Hla  mustuehe  Is  gray,  heavy,  and  with  pointed 
waxed  ends,  ff'ho  faeo  la  small  and  apparently 
good  natured;  the  eyes  a  light  brown,  and,  while 
rdeimnt,  are  full  of  insincerity.  In  fact,  the  ex- 
pres-slon  of  Insincerity  scorns  W  prevail  every- 
whoro— in  eye,  smile,  and  the  studied  gestures  of 
his  white  but  not  shapely  hands.  His  voleo  Is  a 
lileas.tnt  ono.  HO  writes  uu  unfriendly  corres¬

“ANxiors”  sends  to  tho  Now  York  Tribune 
the  following  mutrlmoulal  problem,  which,  she 
says,  Is  based  uixm  “mff.ual  facts”: — "In  isw 
Mr.  A  married  Miss  B.  He  went  abroad,  aud  was 
compelled  U)  marry  Miss  C  In  order  to  save  his 
life.  On  Ills  return  tn  America  ho  aseortalned 
that  his  tlr.st  wife  (B)  vvasdead.  He  then  married 
Miss  I).  He  went  abroad  and  did  not  return  until 
18(58.  Ho  called  on  Ids  third  wife  (D),  and  was 
bhosvn  to  the  door.  She  (D)  hod  heaid  about  B 
and  and  threatened  him  (A)  with  arrest. 
■  Being  nominally  a  widow  aud  having  frightened 
A  Into  slhMlce,  she  married  Mr.  E.  Mr.  A  then 
tnarrhMl  F,  who  had  thu  rare  discretion  to  die 
promiitly.  Now  If  D  was  not.  A’s  wife  from  the 
fact  that  C  was  alive  when  A  married  D,  Is  K  to 
be  regarded  as  D’a  hU-sband?  Is  I)  A's  wife  or 
E’s'?”  Try  Luko  xx.,  :u,  and  consult  editor  of 
The  Deseret  New.s,  Halt  Lake. 
Mr.  j.  W.  Foknkv.  Jr.,  says  of  Miss  Dickinson 
as  an  actres,8 “  Hhe  flirts  with  King  Henry  Uke 
a  timid  country  lass  schooled  to  smirk  and 
eourU.«y,  but  without  tho  rellnem(.'nt  and  tho 
former  aasoclatlous  to  mind  her  lesson.  She 
t.ilk8,  too,  of  love,  as  she  might  of  the  weather, 
and  if  she  attempts  txi  typify  the  passion,  it  la  as 
if  she  were  attempting  to  burlesque  it.  And  yet 
as  the  play  goes  on  one  sees  why  Anna  Dlokln.son 
thought  she  might  he  an  actress.  Her  scenes 
with  the  Cardinal,  with  Bercy,  with  Cromwell, 
ofD'n  give  hope  of  real  dramatic  power;  the 
audience  Is  hushed  In  interfist,  but  a  moment 
afterward  she  drops  again,  and  drops  .so  far  that 
tho  chill  of  disappointment  goes  over  alL  When 
,MLs.8  uicklu.8on  Is  re<iulred  to  act,  as  la  the  last 
sceno  with  the  bloek  in  her  palace  prison,  the 
regret  that  shu  has  dared  what  8h(i  has  deepens. 
Every  movement  Is  forced;  thoro  is  nothing 
natural,  nothing  which  does  not  say,  ‘  I  am  try¬ 
ing  so  hard  to  do  this.'  Her  play  la  remarkably 
well  constructed,  but  only  fairly  and  very  un¬ 
evenly  written.  There  are  gems  among  fiio 
speeehes  lit  lor  any  work,  but  there  ts  very  much 
that  Is  commonplace.  In  tim  hands  of  a  true 
dramatic  .vrtlst,  ‘ThoC'rowaot't’horas’  will  live. 
But  Anna  Dickinson  Is  a  woman  of  determination 
and  pluck.  Hhe  ha.s  not  only  tho  will  to  decide, 
but  the  courage  to  carry  through,  if  it  be  In  any 
way  j)0.8slble,  what  she  tries.  She  will  light  her 
light  tor  pre-eminence  on  tho  stage  honestly  and 
rtereoly,  and  will  not  give  up  until  her  own  mind 
is  satisfied  it  cannot  bo.  Her  whole  record  proves 
that,  aud  it  may  be  she  wlllprove  us  all  false 
1  prophets."
