Mrs. John A. Logan, Reminiscences of a Soldier's Wife: An Autobiography, Chapter 4: (search)
second night in Meg Merrilies. When she delivered the curse upon poor Bertram, her figure seemed to rise to the stature of a giantess before her trembling, cringing victim. On this occasion she was brought before the curtain again and again, the whole audience, from orchestra to the top gallery, rising to their feet and cheering wildly. In imagination I can to this day see her majestic figure as she appeared to acknowledge the encores. She followed the next night (her benefit) with Mrs. Haller, in Kotzebue's play, The Stranger, and as Mrs. Simpson in Simpson & company, to a superb audience of appreciative admirers. Lady MacBETHeth, Cardinal Wolsey, and Nancy Sykes were also given at the earnest request of a large number of distinguished people, who signed a petition to her to gratify them by prolonging the engagement seven nights. Each night the house was as full as the managers dared to allow. One never tired of seeing her. She was the personification of power and grace, a

o principal classes, — those in which the wood is saturated with the preservative material by immersion, and those in which the material is forced into the pores in a vaporiform state. The first of these processes appears to date back no farther than the last century; the latter is of still more recent introduction. As early as 1740, Fagol, a Frenchman, experimented with solutions of alum, sulphate of iron, and other substances, in which he immersed the wood for several days. In 1756, Haller recommended the use of vegetable oil for this purpose. Jackson, in 1767, proposed to employ a solution of sea-salt, to which sulphate of iron and magnesia, alum, lime, and potash, were to be added. Pallas, 1779, proposed to mineralize wood immersion first in solution of copperas and afterward in milk of lime. Dr. Hales recommended steeping in solution of sulphate of copper (blue vitriol), and coating with oil of tar; for which Dr. Fordyce substituted sulphate of iron; this was tried wit

Her voice rose loud and clear, and .all the fervor of her spirit came into play. As a matter of course, her audience quickly recognized the change, and felt the spell of genuine talent; and their hearty plaudits ratified her success. That success has known no retiring ebb, but has steadily increased into such eminence as is only won and kept by commanding talents and unsullied integrity. Helen Faucit's next appearance was made as the heroine of Venice preserved. After that she played Mrs. Haller, and acted the chief part in Joanna Baillie's new drama of Separation, which had, however, only a short life. But her chief success that season was Clemanthe, in Talfourd's Ion, --(of which Ellen Tree was the original). For her benefit, on the 20th of June, 1836, she played Mrs. Beverley, in the Gamester, and very deeply touched the hearts of her audience, by her affecting picture of the poor wife's anguish and devotion. Even thus early she seems to have excelled in characters requirin

nd that, if Lessing was the first to call it forth, it was rather from accident than extraordinary genius or boldness. The literature of Germany now sprang at once from its tardy soil, like the miraculous harvest of Jason, and like that, too, seems in danger of perishing without leaving behind it successors to its greatness. Besides the four whom I have named, I know of no authors who have enjoyed a general and decisive popularity, and who have settled down into regular classics, except Haller, Muller, the elder Voss, Schiller, and Burger. This number is certainly small, and Goethe alone survives, to maintain the glory of the deceased generation of his friends and rivals. But, narrow as the circle is, and though the strictness of posterity will perhaps make it yet narrower, still I know of none in the modern languages—except our own—where one so interesting can be found as the circle of German literature. It has all the freshness and faithfulness of poetry of the early ages, wh

Theatre — benefit night. --The deservedly popular actress, Mrs. Waller, whose chaste and life-like representations have been so much admired and applauded by our play-goers, is to take a benefit at the Theatre to-night. Mrs. W. is to appear in the "Lady of Lyons," as Pauline, and in the "Stranger," as Mrs. Haller; and we venture to assert that she will sustain them both in the most unexceptionable manner. Mrs. W. is an excellent reader, has a full, melodious voice, and is withal one of the best stage actresses of the day. We invite our play-goers to turn out in full force, and give Mrs. W. a crowded house.

present war. One Major Generalship (vice Wool retired) and two Brigadier Generalships (one vice Harney retired, and one original vacancy) remain unfilled. Should Brig Gen Philip St. Geo Cooke be retired (he has been summoned before the Retiring Board,) a third vacancy will occur. Gen Heintzleman's chances for a regular Brigadier Generalship are considered good. The following regular army officers were dismissed from the service last year: Maj Gen Fitz John Porter, Colonel 15th; Maj Haller, 7th; Maj Davidson, 4th; and Capts Beall, 2d; Stivers, 7th; Mayer and Wilkinson, 12th; Woodson, 16th; Cady, 17th; Breslin and Kellogg, 18th; Goodwin, 10th. The act of July 17th, 1862, gave Lincoln discretionary power to retire all officers whose names have been borne on the army register 45 years, or who are 65 years of age, without submitting their cases to a Retiring Board.

ble, and find the battle-field. Gen. Halleck to Gen. McClellan. August 31--2:45 P. M. The Subsistence Department are making Fairfax Station their principal depot. It should be well guarded. The officer in charge should be directed to secure the depot by abatis against cavalry. As many as possible of the new regiments should be prepared to take the field. Perhaps some more should be sent to the vicinity of Chain Bridge. Gen. McClellan's reply. August 31, 1863. Major Haller is at Fairfax Station, with my provost and headquarters guards and other troops. I have requested (4) four more companies to be sent at once, and the precautions you direct to be taken. Under the Department order of yesterday I have no control over anything except my Staff, some few hundred men in my camp here, and the few remaining men near Fortress Monroe. I have no control over the new regiments; do not know anything about them, except those near here.--Their commanding officer
