THE DRAMA,

Last night Miss Avonia Jones, the young actress,
whose debut we noticed yesterday, made her second
appearance, in the character of Eoadae in Shells
play of that name; a part presenting much
greater variety of effective points, and affording
better scope for good acting than that of Blanche
in "Armand'' The house was rather fuller than it
was the previous night, and the impression made
upon the audience decidedly more favorable Miss
Jones being called before the curtain at the end of
the third act and again at the conclusion of the
piece.
The other characters in the play were as usual
but indferently sustained that of Cotonnd, in par
ticular being entirely spoiled by the exaggerated
action and absurd grimaces of the actor who
filed the part. Consequently the entire burden
of the piece deyolved upon Miss Jones, who
it must be confessed, sustained her part in
which would have done credit to much older and
more experienced performer. The general tone of
her acting is quiet and lady-like; free from all
tendency to rant and extravaganza, and show
ing good taste in her conception of her part,
and careful study in its preparation. At the
same time, she by no means lacks tragic force
and pathos, as was shown in the scene where the
messenger announces to Colonna, in her presence,
the sentence of death which the king has
against him for killing Ficentio. Her gesture and
exclamation of terror upon hearing her brothers
doom was, perhaps, the best hit in the whole play.
We speak thus favorably of Miss Jones' acting,
because for young girl of eighteen, her perform
ances are really very clever, not to say remarkable
and are the earnest of better things to come. Her
faults are those which time and study will correct
and we therefore will only specify one, trifng in
ITSELF but still serious enough to detract from the
favorable impression which her face and figure are
otherwise certain to make. We allude to girlish
stoop, which if not corrected before it becomes
tirmcd, will make her permanently round shoulder
ed. little pains is all that is required to correct
this and several other faults, which may hereafter
take occasion to point out Tonight, Miss Jones
takes benefit in the Bride of Lammermoor, and
we cordially bespeak for her full house, and the
favor of all who may take interest in the
of young and promising American actress.

THEFLOODIN THE MISSISSIPPI

ST.. LOUIS April l4.-Frightful consequences are
likely to ensue along the lower Mississippi, which
is now higher in some places than ever known be-
fore, by the accession of the combined floods from
the upper rivers running into the Mississippi which
are rising from st. Paul down. The Missouri and
Illinois rivers both high and rising and all their
tributaries at food height. The high water is
occasioned by the heavy rains which have extended
through the whole western and northwestern com-
try. The usual spring mountain rise has not yet
taken place, and should it do before the present
flood subsidies, the whole lower country, doubtless
will be inundated.
