LAURA KEENE' S VARIETIES.

Mise Keene is gradually establishing her claim to
that sgn in which she hopes TO conquer, by serving
in at her hsroEc banquets dishes OF French
and English dress. On Monday night a comedyof es-
sentiay English construction and character gave way
TO ore as essentinlly and purely French. Camille,
or rather, Les Danes Camelias, of which it is
a somewhat modified translation, owed ts wonderful
success in Paris far more to extinsc circumstances
than TO its own interior worth as dramatic produc-
ton. 1t had the courage to picture one of class,
often rnost deeply wronged and doomed for a mo-
ments weakness or credality to life Of hopeless and
irredeemabe shame, as possessed Of some virtues
held by many of what the world terms unsued name.
Il was played too by beautiful woman, Mad. Doche,
who had in her devoted and self-saeri6cipg watch
around the sick couch of young Englishman Of
brilliant ability and name of high tradition, who died
Of the Paris Embassy about the time given proof that
the character she portrayed not unreal To these
circumstances il owed that excitement which threw
around il in Paris such robe of success. Poor Dumas

in the dramatic form, in which It had previously been
produced in this country by Miss Davenport with
eminent success. II therefore owed the interest which
drew so large crowd to witness lis reproduction on
Morday night, chiefly TO the anxiety .et TO see Mss
Keene in character for which her artistic genius pecu
ary fits her. she is In her sty essentially French,
ard bears in feature motion, and gesture, the most
remarkable Likeness TO the accomplished actress for
whom the part was drawn. Some of the ternbly
truthful features Of the drama originally produced,
are softened down and the delicate details OF disease
80 truthfuIy pictured by Doche are omitted IN the
version of Monday night, and the more pleasing nc
ton, as prectced both at several OF the heatsrs
Paris and the St. James's in London, of making the
scenes passed through but an unsu5stantial dream,
very wisely adopted. On the whole the reconstruc-
ron Of the drama reflects much credit the accom-
plshed member of Miss Keene's company By whom

In the first and second scts Miss Keene has little
opportunity to shine, excepting by that innate grace

language: "In the Cunerd line especially are told

this report beg you viii allow me TO state through
your columns that it is "unqualidedly" untrue.
VIII you, in justice to Capt Stone be good enough
TO publish the remaining part Of the letter from Ihe
NJ y Times in order that your readers may see that
although the writer thinks that Capt Stone neglected
" some of the usual precautions, that there ls no
"sbpmaster afoat TO whose care he would prefer to
"trust dear friend; that he had never known a
"fdence and that if he were obliged to cross the
atlantic again in the Winter, he would put himself
"to much inconvenience to sail under his command
"rather than that Of any one ese."
He commences his letter by rejecting on Capt.
Stones want of proper precaution, and concludes by
saying that he has more confidence In him than IN any
other captain he has met with, and that If
any one should think of blaming him be would defend
him. The remainder of the passengers having, how
