His stock in trade consisted of a tliunttering voice, square shoulders, and a pair of prodigiou calves. He was a. great villain theatrically speak ing as a man, though not without his faults, be has never committed the slight est burglary, ; arso:i, or murder. Still an unfortunate tendency to moisten his dia phragm too freely with fermented liquors, led him into serious embarrassments He was frequently t indisposed,'-aJ- severely tried the patience both of managers and the public. Yet he made some noble pro fessional discoveries. ' None of the "repre sentatives of Richard," Duke of Gloster, from Garrick to Charles Kean, had ever e'icited fronS Shakspeare's text at the staye d rection the astonishing fact that the hunip hack assassin of King Henry and the prince wa3 a drunkard as well as a mur derer and a tyrant. Yet Puggs conceived and - rendered the - character in the spirit more "than once, staggering through the love scene with Lady An-ie, and exhibit ing more Dutch courage than: valor, and ' cunning of fence, in the closing encoun ter with RichmorKt. : A difference as to the propriety of this rendition between Puggs and the 'managers led to the loss of en gagements, and Puggs at one , lime, had run up - bill at a certain tavern, in a cer tain town, where he was unknown and out of business without the slightest prospect ot liquidating tne recount His personal proper y consisted of a trunk containing two or three shirts and an old uniform. 3 The land loan t was forbearing, but for bearance bits an end. - i his individual had only one peculiarity a resemblance 10 the Stuart., portrait , of Gen. Washington, on which- he prided mtnself immenselv. It was hr weak point, and Puggs determin ed to take advantage of it:t : : . -One day he ordered a bottle of port, and requested the landlord should come up with 11. . AI r George sh 1 ng ton Bl 1 mn siccor thnfrlyv made his appearance with the port m more, than his ord nary statehness v 1 Mr." Puggs -said he, ' have filled your or:ers lor the very last time, Sir; I nave a family.'. ' Cherubs I cherubs 1 General, said the uclor: - I must live.' . 'Naturally.. " Very' welT,' Sir ;' your bill ' already a mounts to 40 -915 for board and $25 for brandy and cijrars.' 4 It was on this very subject I wanted to see you, General. - What a surprising, like ness T added the actor, throwing1 himself back'in his chairv and shading his eyes with his hands, 4 a perlecl btuarf I have been told so,' replied the land lorif, ip' a more - pleasant" manner aqd la- kintr a seaC- , - - ' That's right, Bliffin ; make yourself at borne. Now then-bumpers and to busi ness I Fort v " dollars you "say.' Well, I have a beijacool fifty spot,' in the winning of whichyou're-deepIy interested.

It will soon be over, and 1 11 then settle your bill." Do you consent ?! " i . ; The landlord assented. . tie was soon attired in the continental uniform, and as sumed the, attilu !a" I'uggs pointed out. The actor inspected him, and asseverated he felt f". re of winning.

' Come along, then hurry I must take the next train,1 said the actor. - ; In ten unntiies ihey reached the door of the actor's room. Pujgs ni.Klesom" ooise as he fumbled with the key, and addressed Dodgem ui a" Toud tone so as to pr -pare the landlord. Phis done, they entered The light artistically arranged, felt on the mo tionless fig'iri' of "the. unfortunate Bhffin. Thern y r have bun.

' Send for him this afternoon,' said Purgs, as he pocketed the cash, and I'll have him packed m siravv for you. I he showman departed, and 1uggs, has tening to the railroad station, made good his escape from town, exulting in his stra tagem.
