MESSENGER I222 ARRESTED.

He Has Violated John Ball's Postal Laws and Is Locked Up In London.

New York World.

Eugene B. Sanger, the Mutual District messenger,boy who sailed ten days ago for England to deliver souvenirs of "The Highest Bidder" for Messrs. Frohman and Sothern, has been arrested in London for violating the British postal laws. Charles Overlou cabled to Low's Exchange in this city yesterday to that effect. Mr. Frohman was notified and came down from Stamford. He cabled back to have an attorney engaged to state the nature of the boy's errand and to plead ignorance of the postal laws.

Postmaster Pearson said yesterday that the English postal laws were very strict and that they forbade the carrying of notes, letters or documents by any but post office employes. There is an exception to the law which provides for the exclusion of "letters sent by a messenger concerning private affairs of the sender or receiver thereof." The penalty is [British Pound]5 for every letter sent and [British Pound]10 for every week the practice of sending is kept up.

Mr. Frohman received no further news from his London agent regarding the arrest last night. The following is a copy of a telegraph received by him from Major Burke, manager of the Buffalo Bill Wild West show, dated Saturday, August 6, American exhibition grounds, London.

Daniel Frohman, Lyceum Theatre, New York: Mutual District messenger arrived at the Wild West camp, Brompton, this morning. The band played "Hail to the Pioneer Messenger." He was received by Buffalo Bill and the entire Wild West outfit. Buffalo Bill introduced him to an audience of 20,000 people. The boy delivered souvenirs to Cody, Salisbury, and Townsend Percy, amid great enthusiasm. He takes our stage coach to deliver his messages. BURKE

Mr. Frohman says it is evident that the messenger's arrest did not occur until after his appearance at Buffalo Bill's levee. It was Mr. Frohman's intention only to have Mr. Cody introduce him to the select audience of the nobility which waits on him at the conclusion of performance. He evidently did so, after having presented him to the entire audience in general.

AMERICA IN LONDON.

"John Collins" and Other Drinls--Art and the Wild West.

In London Truth, just over, appear the following American notes:

We met Buffalo Bill at an "at home" the other evening. He was very quiet, indeed, but does not look so picturesque in a dress suit as he does in the untutored, or rather untailored, garments of the Wil 1 West. His daughter, a tall and dark-eyed girl, was in black and yellow, which has become quite a livery of brunettes this season, I felt quite angry with my fellow guests because they would not be quiet while Hollman played on the 'celio most divinely. Some lady, with the merest shred of a voice, sang in such perfect style and with such true feeling that every one wanted to hear her again. It was a triumph of art over nature. The "programme" of the evening consisted of a list of American drinks to be had in a room that proved very popular. Among sherry cobblers, champagne ditto and lemon squashes I noticed a beverage called "John Collins," but had not the hardihood to try what it was like. I delight in getting into the midst of an interesting crowd like that and listening to the talk that goes on all around. There is sure to be something worth hearing besides the music, which, indeed, however good it may be, the majority of guests that as an interruption and a bore. I am afraid we are ever so much more body than soul, we nineteenth century humans. No one treats supper as an interruption or a bore.

Americans are a proverbial touchy people, and I have no reason to suppose that American artists form an exception to the general rule. Wherefore, I fear that I shall previously offend many worthy spoilers of canvas by my remarks upon their efforts at the Wild West picture galleries. To tell the honest truth I came away from the show with the impression that never in my experience as a critic had I seen, anything more hopelessly bad; drawing, coloring, composition, and technique alike seemed to me to be quite preposterous.
