A TENNESSEE EDIToR's DRoLL CRIT1-
cIsM ON THEATRIcALs.--Joh r. Hatch
er, editor Of the Columbia (Tennessee)
Mirror, visited Nashville during the en-
gagements of Julia Dean Hayne.--
Hatcher did not have the courtesies of
the press extended to him. In his last
paper he gives the following " first rate
sketch Of his impressions of the perform
ance. Found when we got to the
city about supper-time, that JULIA
DEAN HAyNE Chats the way tho play
bills have it--Mr. Hayne must feel
snalD was to be made the victim Of o
complimentary benefit that night--her
last appearance on the Nashville boards.
Didn't recolleo. ever having done any
thing for Julia; concluded to compli-
ment her with our presence and give her
the benefit Of our six bits. AS we don't
have many of them things to spare, hope
she considered the benefit considerable.
Ought to have gone in free with pea
nuts and extra programmes furnished
gratis, as Crisp, the big dog Of the con-
cert, has been remarkably successful in
an attempt to owe us two dollars for the
last five years. Got in the pit just as
up flashed the Eve fid6lers-called, by
courtesy, the orchostry-through the
square hole under the stage where the
liker department of the establishment is
located. Tang-a-lang went the bell.
Ga sweet toned instrument borrowed from
the COW which grazcd in the lot behind
the theatre, up went the curtain, and
Eve greasy looking fellows, whom tho
audience were requested, by the pro-
gramme to look upon as thorough bred
gentlemen, but which their appearance
and manners wouldn't let the audience
do, were discovered seated round
poplar mahogany table, drinking out Of
silver goblet made of tin and talking
about gal, who, from all we could
learn, was some pumpkins, through and
through. Didn't care to hear any more
about her, though, and passed the time
till the premium stock came round in
carving humbug' on the next seat with
jack. knife, and in perusing the tiers
of female highfalutinity that carries dou-
ble-barrel spy-glasses, rented for the
occasion, round at old man Gawdey's
jewelry store. When tho rascals got
through with their nonsense, Julia Dean
Hayne hoated out, as fine as split silk.
Julia is lovely woman and, having
plenty Of money, wears very Gne clothes
on the stage, and probably off it, too
Has been married couple Of years,
and 4. lad her baby along with ] y iher

the stage. First rate actress, Julia and
differed in many ways, from the actors
in the first scone- especially in this, that
while she has simply Grecian coun-
tenance, the others seemed TO have been
cast in grease, heels over head, without
having had time to wash it off. The
play was The Love Chase ; Julia suits
tho play like a brick. That abundant
soft hair and pcarly, classic brow, those
pouting lips--and, in short, all the fea-
lures Of her face form n toot-ang. sam
bic that make love chase an exceed
ing probable circumstance. Her part of
the play paid handsome per. cent, on the
six bits invested, but the rest of the
thing was bad speculation. Went
back to the hotel when the institution
adjourned, smoked cigar in the bar
room, went up to bed, and dreamed that
all the world was a stage, and that all
the actresses were Julia Dean Hayneses
which they amt though, by several"
