The finishing loaches to tlie private hall in the rear of tbe rotunda, will be made this morning. The presidents bed chamber will be the "Nellie Grant chamber." An elegant carpet was laid yesterday, and the apartment is in perfect order, bright, comfortable and cosy. The White House, in its new dress, ia greatly improved in appearance. The main lobby has been beautifully kalsom-ned in a light shade, and tbe chain, lounges and settees have been re-covered in light siikand wool brocade. Passing beneath gracefully draped Turkish curtains, Ike visitor vnters the east roam; the furniture is rich and showy, and the general effect most pleasing.

The woodwork is all ebomzed, the upholstering of old gold brocade, softened with golden brown. The window curtains, elegant in appearance, are of old gold bro-cade, with plush lambrequins artistically embroidered. The Green Room, with Its delicate tint of Nile green, is more beautiful than ever before. The velvet carpet, with a figured centre, is bordered with shaded green. Tbe Blue Parlor remains as it was under the last regime, with its bright blues and its gilt-framed furnitnre, charmingly old-fashioned.

The Red Parlor hu been (elaborately renovated. The velvet carpel is rendered brighter with a filagree crimson wool mat. The woodwork is in rosewood, the furniture to crimson plush, tbe hearth tiled, with the' old-fashioned andirons, braes sho've), and tongs. The haiU and stairways have all been recarpeted in dark red velvet, very pleasing to the eye. Up stair all the rooms have been mads comfortahle and cheerful.

Tlie English people are the slowest on earth to see a joke. Yesterday I was riding over the Grand Trunk, near Toronto, aud thettpical Englishman, with eyeglasses, an opera glass hung around his neck, and a bundle of canes and umbrellas under his arm, got on tho train. There is one of those thick-headed Englishmen who can never lee a joke," remarked a bright commercial traveler. I tbiuk you could make him see the point to a joke," I answered.

I'll bet anything," said my fnenl, that yon can't make that man see the point to an American joke." All right," 1 Mid; I'll try it." So. alter being introduced to the Englishman, 1 set out to make him smile. I told him tbe best jukes I knew. He always listened attentively, but, instead of seeing the precise point, he would ask some explanation, while hu lace wore an expression as blank as a Chinaman when youve paid him $3 too much change. Finally 1 told the Engl.shman the old story of tbe Indian who wanted a recc.pt tor money paid to a white man.

Sa.d I "The Indian iusisted tnat the whi'e man should give him a receipt. What do you want a receipt tor" asked tbe while man, you've paid 'fie money, and thats enough." But me mu9t have receipt," insisted tne Indian. Why, what for? a3ke'i the white man. Because, said the Indian, Iniunrosy die. Well, suppose you do di-, I rertainiy cant collect this money from you then." But," continued the Indian, me mav die and go to heaven.

Tlie Lord he ask Injun if he good lojnn; Injun say yes. He ask Injun if he pay white man. Injun say yes, yes. Then, the Lord be say where is the receipt? What lojun do then? Injun can't go looking all over hell for you?" After I got through, the Americans laughed, as they always will, even at an old joke, but the Englishman looked straight io tbe face without a smile. You would think he was viewing the corpse at a fuoetal.

Then be put his front finger solemnly on the palm of bis hand, and said, argumentatively: Now, I dont eee why an Indian is not entitled to a receipt at well as a white man? I entirely disagree with But a roar of laughter from tbe Americans drowned his sentence. This so confused the poor Englishman, to bare hu honest opinions laughed at that he turned his back on us and solemnly waded through the dreary columns ot London Punch all the way into Toronto. At Hanford, Mark Twain told me a new reminiscence about the Chetterfield-ian orator, George W. Curtis. Every body who knows Mr.

Curtis knows him to be a very precise man. George Bayard ouce told me that Mr. Curtis always wears a full-dress suit, even in the bath-tub. His periods are always eloquent, and his Aim is always to end his speeches in a burst of oratory. Well, Mr.

Curtis was selected to make the final speech in Hartford in Lincoln's presidential campaign in 1860. was the night before the election. The great opera bouse was crowded, and the matchless orator had swayed tbe enthusiastic audience into repeated applause. Finally, the time came to end the speech, which Mr. Curtis always does with a flowery oratorical flight And to-morrow, fellow-citizens," he said, the American people will be called upon to give their verdict, and I believe you, es American freemen, will give that verdict against American slavery.

Applause. Yea to-morrow we will go to polls with freedom's ballot in our hands, trampling slaverys shackles tinder our feet, and while the anh-angel of liberty looks down approvingly upon us from the throne of Omnipotence, we will consign Stephen A. Douglas and his in famous pro-slavery propagandists to the pittomless hot a i. The stars represent wbat George Curtis Mid, aud bow he tore Ins hair, when the "pittomless bot came out, sod a loud guffaw and bedlam of laughter came up from the fun-struck audience. Th Clean Newspaper (Boetofi Herald There is a growing feeling in every healthy community agniust tbe journals who make it their special object to niimt' ter to perverted taste by seeking out and serving up in a seductive form disgusting caudal aud licentious revelations.

There is good reason to believe, that the clean newspaper is more highly prized than it was lour or five years ago. It is also ufe to predict that, as ths people in all ranks of life, who wish io protect their own fm ilies from contamination, become more conscious of ths pernicious influence of a certain class of journals called enterprising," because they' are ambitious to eerve op dirty scandals, they will be careful that the jonrnals they permit to be read In ths family circle are the rlast that never forget the proprieties of life. Already me and women of refinement and healthy morals have bad their atlon tion called to ths pernicious Influence of bad literature, and have made commendable efforts to counteract th same by causing ths sound literature to be published and sold at popular price. These efforts are working a silent but sure revo' tution. The sickly sentimental story paper, and wild ranger and ptrats story book, are slowly yielding the field to worthirr claimants.

To the praise of th decent paper it may be Mid, that where it baa a place in the family, and has been read for years by ths young and old it baa developed such a healthy tone and such a discriminating taste that the literature of the slums has no admirers. Fortunately, tbe number of such families is increasing in ths laud, and as thev increase the jonrnnl that de. voteritself to sickening revelations ot immorality will be compelled to find its supporters solely among those classes that practice viee or are ambitious to learn to tollow Inch ways.

London Tunes There is alwajg ou the stage a risk in pathetic situations, tor the illusion of tbe stage is a thing so much more talked ationt than felt. Thus great effects in pathos are almost always reached ia a single sentence, a word sometimes, even a tone, a gesture. Long speeches, protracted situations, rarely touch the heirt, partly because the actors cau not keep themselves for so long to the proper pitch, partly because the spectators cau not keep up their sympathy for so long for wbat they know though a dash of genins may make them for an instant forget it to be but fictitious woe.

Thus pathos, no matter bow beautiful its expression, ta be truly effective oa the stage, to be truly effective anywhere in fiction, should always be brief. And it should always he born, not made. Brevity and naturalness are tbe essential qualities or pathos. When it lacks these two it become eenti-meat. The moment we begin to reason about it, tbe moment we begin to ask onreelve whether this could really have happened this way or that, then we may know that pathos has left the scene and sentiment comes on.

To bunt in highways nnd byways for a sigh, to exhaust nature and art for a tear, is the act only ot the loan who has no knowledge nor feeling for the real sorrows of humanity. Even where one finds a true note of pathos struck, bow often does not it lose halt its effect, become finally lost by repetition? Tbe nail is hammered again and again, the head is knocked away, and tbe point bluntel. It was always," says Falttaff the trick of our English nation it they have a good thing to make it too common."

London Truth Tbe next piece was to be A Fair Encounter," io which Mrs.

Langtry was to appear. Ths Fair Encounter was called io the play bill the favori'e comedietta. A lady, spoken of as "a lively young widow, is about to marry. The sister of the bridegroom, spoken of as flighty little friend, is minded to see whether the widow is worthy of her brother, so she disguises herself as a lady's maid, aod applies for a situation with the future bride The lively young widow discovers the trick, and pretends to be in lure with the husband of the flighty little friend, and punishes her by forcing her to perlorm many menial duties, such as putting on her shoes, etc. Mrs.

Langtry cams forward arrayed in an unpretending pink dress, and, with her arms full of flowers, she sat down at a table and then proceeded lo act as though, instead of this being tbe first time she had ever essayed her skill on a stage, she had been playing lively young widows and other such parts to critical audiences from her earliest childhood. Whether she was nervous or not I do not know, but there was not a trace of nervousness to he perceived. Her elocution was singularly clear, and her gestures and by-play per fed. I was never more surprised io my life. It is difficult to judge of any one trom a single performance, but if Mrs.

Langtry cau play other parti as well as she does lively young widows, she would, were she to adopt tbe Mme as a profession, be a fortune to any theatre if she were brought out by a manager to fnlfii a great want-according to th well-known phraMology of prospectuses. It far more easy to find actresses who can rampage is tragedy than who are aid to act in comedy as though to tbe manor born. This Mrs. Langtry, to judge by her debut at Twickenham, teems exceedingly well able to do. A Shrewd Stroke by Dumas, er.
