He was at ttnte a very popular actor throughout the Kontry, though, during the past decade, he aw shown in his playing little of the fine spirit lad hmuur which made his old-time perf orm-saosi so interesting. As a man, he will be Mssnbered for hat geniality and honesty, though his faults were as prominent as his vir-m; auttbe faults were mostly on the sur-su, while the virtues were more deeply Tooted fa hs) character. He was a good, jovial fel-low, srho liked the world and Its pleasant thinss, who troubled himself slightly about to-awrruw so long as to-day was clear and bright, sad whoFe improvidence and good nature hand in hand- his kind heart sob Ijfur him hosts of friends, and is; doubtful any of these had ever turned against him. As au actor, at ha best, he was in no sense remarkable, though his comedy was often delightfully tnah and hearty, while his burlesque was full sftha true spirit of humor. His name is iden-: tfflsd with characters like Sir Lucius "Trig-far sod 8ir Oliver Surface.

As a manager, as was, as every one knows, a lamentable fail-Bra: ha helped to make others rich; and nian-agd at the same time to keep himself poor. At dramatist, he punjessed talent of a useful srdsr, and he made the most of this.

Mr. Brougham became again a member of the Princess's Theatre com pan and made his reap pearance at the boose on Wednesday evening, March 22, 18ti5, when BoacicauH'a Irish drama. Arran-na rogue," was periormed for the first time. Mr. Brougham was cast aa Colonel Bagenal O'Orady, a character which be has since filled many tin in this country.

Afterward Mr. Brougham departed once more from London, returning to this country and to the American) stage. He performed then as a star, and grew noted for his humorous Inir-lesooe actiugj Pocahontas," Columbus," ana Metansra were three of his most poj-nlar burleaquB. In 1868 he became for the fourth time a manager, leasing of the late James Fisk, the old Fifth-A venue Theatre now the jMadiaon-nquare Theatre. But Brougham's evil fortune followed him to the bouse which! waa afterward turned over to Angustin I)aJy.

Another re markable testimonial was piunnea, ana tne performances took iplace in the Academy of Music on the afternoon and evening of Jan. 17, 1879. The receipts were more than 10,000.

At the beginning of the present season he was, it win be recalled, a member or jar. isouoicauit short-lived company, and it was under Mr.

Boucicault's management and on the stage of Booth's Theatre the play being "Louis XL" that he was last seen here. He acted in the come-dytevivahi at YV attack's last reason, though in a manner which recalled but dimly the once popular, spirited, genial John Brougham. In this rapid sketch of the most important eventB of his life only a passing mention bus beeu made of some of hu plays and of a few performances in which he took part. His reputation as an actor is chiefly associated, as alreadv stated, with characters of the Sir Lu cius Trigger type, and with various characters belonging to burlesque and the Irish drama. As Powhatan in Pocahontas," as Marrjhv Masruire in "The Serious Familv." as the hero of Fitz James O'Brien's bright two-act comedy, A Gentleman from Ireland," and as the heroes of many of his own plays, he will be remembered with delight by old play-goers.

His 'tMetamora" was very popular years ago, and his imitations of Forrest were applauded everywhere. His most successful effort as a dramatist was made with his adaptation of Dombey and Son," a play which held the stage for years, was re produced season after season, and was un-equaled for the length of its runs. It was first brought out at Burton's Theatre, of which Brougham was the stuge manager, wita Mr. Nickerson and Miss Kickerson as Dombey and Florence, Mrs. Vernon as Mrs.

Skewton, Bur ton as Captain Cuttle, Brougham as Bunsby and BacKtock. Q. B. Ravmond as Toots. Georere Jordan as Carter, and Miss Weston (now Mrs.

Charles Mathews) as bditn. Besides tne pieces already mentioned in the foregoing account. Mr. Brougham has written Flies in a Web," Komance and Keality," Domieu a mis sion," "Little Nell and the Marchioness," The Red Light." "The Lottery of Ufe," My Cousin The Haunted Man," Vanity rair," liold mist, (a version or Our Mutual and a long list of oth ers less known, most of them, indeed, quite forgotten. One of his latest plays, which was immediately damned, was The Lily of France," produced in 1872 at Booth i heatre.

Several years ago Mr. Brougham was commissioned by a London publisher to write a book about the Americans. He thought over the matter, and at length made up his mind to reject the offer. hen asked at one time to give his reasons tor this refusal, be replied characteristically I couldn't do it the country was too ereat. and the oeoule too.

It takes a Titan to write about Titans, and I was not tight enough." This mention of a book that did not appear suggests the fact that Mr. Broueham has been at work for some time past upon his autobiography and, during his leisure momenta, he has also managed to put together a play upon a subject near to his heart Home Rule." Mr. Brougham has been married twice, both wives being actresses. The first Mrs. Brougham was Mrs.

Annette Kelson, afterward known as Mrs. Coppleeon Hodges, who made her first appearance in this City at tiie Park Theatre 43 years ago. Mrs. Brougham the second was formerly Miss Williams, and she, too, made her debut in this City at the Park Theatre, though not until 1M2. He was nervous and restless, and frequently at night walked in his room deploring his ill-luck.

Last evening it was decided by Mr. Theodore Moss that the funeral shall take place from the Little Church Around the Corner" at 11 o'clock to-morrow morning, the interment to be in Green-Wood Cemetery. At a meeting of the Lotos Ciub in the evening, resolutions of respect to the memory of Mr. Brougham, who was at one time President of the club, were adopted. Aa playwright, actor, poet- journalist, and scholar, the resolutions declare, he was highly distinguished.

Be wrote no line, which, dying, he would wish to blot. He was never so happy aa when promoting the happiness of others. As an officer of the club in the earlier days of its existence, he was a nucleus around which clustered the elements of geniality and good fellowship. 44 His name," the resolutions conclude, will always be tenderly enshrined in our recollections, and preserved on the roll of our honored dead."

There might have been 700 or 800, probably more. The Germans that are here did not sleen nights with the Pnormaotem nor ask for anything to eat while tramping along the road. We made some money picking berries.

and bought what we wanted to eat at the stores in the villages we passed through." After the raspberries are picked, about July 25, what do you do then Some make tracks for the hop farms around rtica, others go to Delaware to pick peaches. Those who go to the hop country travel along slow, and by the time they reach there the hops are ready to pick. When it Is a good season for nope we can make and save some money. The hops are picked in boxes, and a man used to the business can earn 75 cents a day and his board. When hop-picking is about over, the latter part of September, a good many of the boys go back to New-Jersey to pick cranberries on the meadows in Atlantic County, on the southern coast.

The other hop-pickers go to Pennsylvania to husk corn. When corn-husking is through it is almost Winter. Nearly ail of the fellows then go to Baltimore and hire on an oyster boat, or work as openers for the canning firms. When Spring comes we fish for shad in the Susquehanna and Potomac Rivers. At the close of shad fishing, peas are ready to pick in Do the same men tramp around year after year, as you say they do Yes I've dono it for six years.

I am a bookkeeper, and can't find work. My appearance is against me. Who would want to hire me for a book-keeper Out in the open air, in the sun, in all kinds of weather: sleei-Ing in bams and sheds makes a man rough and uncouth. What polish he ever itissessed is soon rubled off. If we had been taught a trade, or had been brought up on a arm, ourcondition would be different.

A number of the pickers who were here two vears ago are now employed in the ironworks and coul mines in Lehigh and Berks Counties, Penn. They have steady "work, and receive from a dollar to a dollar and a half a day. The men who are on the go year alter year have no home. They never vote, and have no stated occupation. At best it's a dog's life, but it's better than tramping around begging or stealing clothes and food.

What clothes we have we buy, and what we eat Vve pay for. I never asked a man in my life fur anything to eat." The German berry-pickers, as a rule, are qiiiet and industrious. ThVy rarely or never save money, spending it as they earn It for food and lager iieer. A low estimate of the number of men now picking fruit, and those who are on the way for that purpose to the berry farms along the river, would be ljtsJO. Not one of that number will be enumerated in the present census.

This floating population, men who have no homes, and who are forever on the go," is a contingency which has not lieen anticiated nor provided for in the census enumeration of 1880. THE BRITISH GRAIN TRADE. A REVIEW OF THE MARKET DURING THE PAST WEEK. LONDON, June 7. The Mark-Lane Exress, in its review of the grain trade during the past week, says: In consequence of the showers, the wheat crop has gained strength.

Is growing rapidly, and is now coming Into ear in the earlier districts. At the market on Monday, the first ears shown were grown in Sussex, from red Winter American. Unless there is some unexpected change, the harvest prospect is fairly promising. The deliveries of English wheat at the provincial markets have been less than half of those of the corresponding week last year. They were also very meagre at Mark-lane.

Holders show considerable firmness, which prevented any decline being caused by the improved appearance of thegrowing crop. Imports of foreign into London have been moderate. There was an unusually small proportion of American. Arrivals of Indian have begun, and assume an increased proportion, which bids fair to compensate largely for' the contracted Russian export. Business during the week was quiet, and prices of most descriptions were unchanged.

Red Winter American improved 6d. per quarter in consequence of small offerings. Relative to the announced intention of the American Ring to force up the price of red Winters before the end of June, the probability of a material advance is remote, as the London trade has hitherto shown extreme disinclination to follow the American speculative fluctuations. Arrivals at ports of call have been very' moderate. The demand for wheat was less active in consequence of the favorable weather aud buyers having supplied themselves freely.

Both red Winters and No. 8 Spring declined slightly: The coast is now bare of maize, the nominal value being about Sta. 6d. Buyers of wheat for shipment, despite lower offerings from America, continue very reserved. There is a moderate demand for maize at about the late rates.

The sales of English wheat last week were S7.85S quarters at 45a. against 4S.747 quarters at 41a 7d. for the same period last year. The imports into the United Kingdom for week ending May 29 were 722,221 hundred-weight of wheat and 130.188 hundredweight of flour. DECISION XV THE CASES.

A LB A. NT, June 8. Justice Westbrook to-day rendered a decision tn the case jof the Attorney General against Dennison, Belden 'Company, to aet aside the Judgement on the following grounds First, there can be no recovery of a judgement against the State for a demand existing against it either by a direct suit therefor or by setting it up as a counter claim or set-off. Second, the clerk bad no power to enter the Judgement without an order of the court authorizing tt, which be had not. The decision untitles the action of the Attorney-General in taking the cae directly to the Court of Appeals Instead of having a new trial, by showing that under the decision of that court there could have been no recovery by theftate on such action.

It ia accompanied by an exhaustive opinion. THE WABBXX COUNTY TRA CDS. Belttxere, N. June 7. Another swindle by the "Ring" in Warren County baa been discovered, and it proves to be so bare-faoed that even the organ of the Democratic Party, and the usual supporter of the Ring." denoonoes it.

Albany, June 7. Gov. Cornell to-day filed with the Secretary of State a memorandum of objections to various items in the bill making an appropriation to pay the expenses of the collection of tolls, superintendence, ordinary repairs, and maintenance of the canals for the fiscal year beginning on Oct. 1880, and to provide for a contingent deficiency in the revenues of the canals for the calendar year 1880. The Items objected to Bre as follows: For dredging Ohio Basin, Buffalo, SU.OOO: for dredging Erie Basin, Buffalo, SlU.OUO; for protecting the culvert under the Erie Canal at Brockport, S1.000: for opening, straightening, and clearing out the channel of the 18-mlle creek in the Town of Royalton, Niagara County, to jay an award made hvtlie Canal Appraisers in favor of Harriet Jenkins, $725 fin for excavating a ditch on the Blrme side of the Erie Canal, between the first culvert east of Jordan and the culvert near the Shanty Point bridge.

S)0; for cleaning out the State ditches In the northern part of the Town of Amherst, Erie Connty, for the construction of a swing-bridge over Oswego Canal, Syracuse, In Salina-street. for extending sewer under the Erie Canal and to Squaw Island at Black Rock. Buffalo, for cleaning out, excavating the bottom, repairing the banks and dam, and for deepening the channel at such points as may lie -lieetned necessary by the Superintendent of Public Works of the Tonawanda dam and feeder to the Erie Can.d. in the County of Orleans. for raising and repairing road-bed hi the Town of Fort Ann, for drainage of lands belonging to Isaac N.

Cole, for building a dam across Beaver River and across Independence River. $7,710 28. The Governor says that all the above items are objected to and not approved for the reason that the Superintendent of Public Works already pos-seses abundant authority of law for all expenditures Cor the canals, which can be made in conformity with the Constitution. If any of the objects namcd in these several items are legitimate charges against the canal funds, they can lie provided for by the Suerintendent without the enactment of the discretionary authority above given. If they do not come within tills category, the items should not be incorporated in the law.

A DUEL NEAR RICHMOND. THE EDITOR OF THE wilO SHOT IN THE CHIN BY COL. THOMAS SMITH. Richmond, June 7. The acting Police Justice to-day issued warrants for the arrest of E.

C. Elam, editor of the Whig, and Col, Thomas Smith, son of ex-Gov. William Smith, on the charge of engaging in a duel, aitd Joseph B. Walters, business manager of the Whig, and Gen. W.

H. Payne, for encouraging and promoting the duel. The meeting took place yesterday morning near this city, almost on the identical ground where the fatal McCarty-Mordecai duel occurred several years ago. Elam fej! at the first fire, his opponent ball tnltinp effect tn the centre of the chin, splitting the bune and fracturing the right jawltone. The wound Is severe, but not considered dangerous.

The warrants were served on Mr. Elam and his alleged second. Mr Walters, but the condition of Flam precluding removal he was paroled. Walters was arrested, but subsequently bailed in $1,000 for his appearance at the Police Court next Saturday. Col.

Smith and his party have not been arrested. It Is reported that immediately after the duel they proceeded iu the direction of West Point, where they intended to take steamer for Baltimore, thus getting beyond the jurisdiction of the State authorities. The meeting liad its origin in an article which appeared in the Whia last I'uesdav, headed Political Poems," and which denounced in unmeasured terms the Kunders, or so much of the Conservative Party as had utterly repudiated the old name, under which it had masqueraded and assumed a new. stylt! the Democratic Party of Virginia. Tills denunciation embraced all the leaders since 1HS0, and included the Governor of Virginia, Willi am Smith, who was chief executive officer at the close of the war, heDoe the implication of his son in the present affair.

Col. Smtth and Gen. Payne nave oeen the dry since Friday, but the details of the affair were so privately conducted that nothing was publicly known of the meeting until this morning. TROUBLE IN A POST OFFICE. DISHONESTY AND LOOSE METHODS IN THE OFFICE IN CHARLESTON, 8.

C. Charleston, S. June 7. W. G.

Lawton, a colored mail carrier, was brought before United Statea Commissioner Hagood to-day charged with robbing the mail. From the evidence of Special Agent Redmond, two local detectives, and several citizens, it appears that Lawton 's dishonesty was dl covered, by means of decoy letters, several of ion, as well as the marked bills they contained, were found in his pockets at tiie time of arrest-lawton. who confessed his guilt, belongs to a respectable colored family, and has hitherto been much liked. Ills downfall is attributed to entanglements with the opposite sex. Iu default of $2,500 ball, he was committed to jail.

The examination revealed an alarming state of affairs. During the past six months nearly $2,000 in money and drafts was lost from the Charleston Post Office, and many other losses, varying in amounts, were re-ported prior to that time. Letters ere also delivered in a promiscuous manner, without regard to ownership, which frequently led to unpleasant situations. It to also said that another colored carrier, named Morgan, was discovered opening Witters some time ago. and that the Postmaster merely caused a restitution of the money abstracted, without reporting the facta to the department or taking other steps to punish him for the offense.

These revelations have been of more tmportanre on account of improper appointments and the extremely loose way of doing business, and steps will probably be taken to Induce the President to eon-Sent to a change in the Postmastenhlp.
