10 which patriotism and love OF right are the ~ IL
tons upon which the whole structure IS built. There
is no goriicstion OF highwaymen into heroes as 10
the Jack Sheppard and Dick Turpn plays. but the
leading characters Of this piece, with whom Virtue and
liz nor are and for whom the sympahes Of the audi
tors are constantly enlisted, the early "rebels Of
the American Revolution. the Pioneer Patriots OF
the war Of 10 The author has endeavored to throw
inro dramatic form certain incidents of those stirring
times that are matters of history and SO to present
the IN TO the public TO give an idea Of the actors in
those important incidents. Such lessons always
well.
There is an abundance of fun and quaint humor in
terspersed throughout the piece, and altogether
swers the intention Of the author excellenty 1t is
exciting and interesting play. We will not undertake
to give sketch Of the plot more than to say that it
turns upon the adventures of an active young patriot,
one Philip Lancey," among the Tories and Indians,
and the various ycisstudes and ribuations endured by
him and his companions at the hands of these enemies
Of his country Next to Philip, the most prominent
character is "Jocko, negro the follower and assist.
ant Of Philip which latter person has most won
defu facility of getting into scrapes from which he is
extricated always by "Jocko," by means miraculous
There is a love story, of course Isabel Carlton,
"the Maid Of the War PATH being beloved by
Philip" and betrothed by her parents to Toy
rival. This heroine is well acted by Mrs. Charles
Howard.
Mr.. Hardenburgh, o. Philip Lancey," plays in a
manly and spirited manner.
Dir. Harry Watkins, the author of the play, plays
Jocko the Ape Negro and it is truly an admirable
piece Of acting. In makeup in dialect, in pantomine
and all, Mr.. Watkins is most happy. 1t is by far the
best thing thasgentleman has done for many moaths.
The other characters are all acceptably acted and
all the and appointments of the piece good
The performance is vehementy applauded, and has
deservedy attracted crowded houses 1t one Of the
most taking and effective dramas that has been acted
in the city this Winter.

BARNJW.S AMERICAN MUSEUM

In the competition for early copies of English plays,
which is kept up with so much ardor by the various
theatrical managers of our city, the Museum has, in
number Of n,tanccs borne away the prize from more
pretentious establishments, and produced desirable
dramas of manufacture in OF aitsrivas
This has been accomplished of course by having an
active and reliable agent in the English capital The
enterprise that secured ths profitable result is man.
tested also in the other departmental the management
and not less so this Winter than in previous seasons.
The addition of the Aquara to the long list OF curl
osties was long stride in the right direction, that has
been attended with results profitable alike to the public
and the management. The Water Gardens have
afforded unmixed delight to hundreds of people, who
have paid their money for their pleasure thereby graft
tying, also, in substantial way, the proprieors of the
house. Frequent additions are made TO the Aquara,
ard the behoders are constantly surprised by some
crustaceous stranger, some hitherto unknown "odd
fish,"
The Cosmorama Room is another attractive feature
among the curOsities that will be new to many who
have not lately visited the Museum. But, while max
ing these improvements and additions to the establish
ment the dramatic department has not been neglected
A number Of new pieces have been played, and now
capital drama has been written expressly for the house
entitled "The Pioneer Patriot, The Maid of the
War Path" This play, which makes great pre-
tensions TO literary merit aside from its admirable eff.
6c,vepess as an acting play, is an adaptation by Mr..
II. Watkins of newspaper story, and is superior

4 BALL EXIRAORDINARY.


When High-Life below Stairs was produced, it
made a sensation. 1t revealed certain aws-laws af-
fectng humanity in the pantry and kitchen as well as
in the boudoir and drawing -room-laws showing that
like begets like and that all the dramatics Of the up
stairs ceremonial can be conveyed down stairs. My
Lord Duke, and my Lady Betty your Grace, and your
ExceIency as paraded in the mock afectatons OF the
servitors, were papable hits Servants balls in En-
gland, notwithstanding the wit Of the dramatst, are
pleasant things. They are the bright spots in the
course of humble lives. They are respectfully treated
by the masters and mstresses. We do remember one
in which Sir Edward Lytton Buwsr led off the dance
with pretty lady's maid that is the maid not the
LADY,. New-York is growfng-it is initiative. Balls
multiply. We shall have to calculate two exstences
for Young New-York-one up in the air or dancing
and the other on terra irma. There are many balls
now every night, and nearly all night. Not simply
private balls, but public committee balls-firemen
military political charitable, professional all kinds in
fact One has come off which marks the ascending
status of servants and their special munhcence. The
walters at the Brevoort House sent out about three

PoCKEr-BooK SUFFER- NABBED.-.Yesterday morn
ing, Officer Stephenson was passing through Fulton
street his attention attracted by the suspicious ap
pearance and actions Of young fellow short distance
in advance Of him. The officer watched the fellow
closely and soon saw that he was endeavorng to en-
snare stranger. He allowed him to maneuyer for
some time Dropper at length came very close to the
stranger and dropped pocketbook, to all appearances
well filed at his feet and almost at the same instant
snatched it from the sidewalk, and addressing himself
to the stranger, said: beg your pardon, Sir-but
believe you have lost your pocket-book. The stranger
at once felt his pockets and while doing so, Dropper
opened the wallet, exposing to view three $50 gold
pieces and pile OF bills. AT this moment the officer
rushed up and arrested Dropper, and took him to the
Deputys office requesingthe stranger, Mr.. John Ora
ham of Philadelphia, to accompany him. Upon exan-
lining Dropper, who gave his name as George Wilson,
the officer found two pocket-books one of which con-
tanned several gold pieces and bills and the other
quantity of spurious money on the City Trust and Bank
ing Company. 1t was the intention Of Wilson to make
trade with Mr.. Graham and then to stuff the pocket
book filled with "the queer upon him. Theprisoner
was detained for examination.

A Few PRACTICAL QuEsTIoNS.-Why are
there 20 few Germans and Irish in the Slave
States! Why do nineteen twentisths from Eu.
rope seek homes en- free soil? Why do no,
Northern farmers emigrate TO Arkansas. or
other new slave States? Why do Northern me
chanics aud lab0rers from the Eastern and Mid.
die States move West instead OF South? Be
cause the Northern States are Free States, and
the Southern States are Slave States. is the sim
pie answer to all these questions. Then why
will the people Of the North, the Germans. the
Irish, the farmers. the laborers, the mechanics,
who desire homes on free soil for themselves
and their children, support an Administration,
and continue members Of a party whose plat
form aud Dred Scott policy makes all the Terri
tory OF tie United States Slave Territory, and
leaves no foot otfree soil where emgranrs from
