New SENSATION FOR THE WARM WEATHER.
With the thermometer ia its present elevated |
CONDITION, sensation or an excitement would |
seem to be impossible Art would seem to be in |
a hopelessly dormant state-politcs are dull |
every body says we shall have enough of them in |
the fall. The artists have either gone to Europe
or are resting from their labors at the watering
places. Piccolomini who made the latest and the
most profound sensation, has left US. The Cheva-
lier Wikoff has for the present cut the land of
the free and the home of the brave. He has
gone to China, there to fascinate the Son of the
Sun and Brother Of the Moon; there to reor-
ganize the tea trade; there to put our relations
with the Central Flowery Kingdom upon the
best footing. Fernando Wood is very quietly
en-. aged with Governor Wise, of Virginia, in
making arrangements apropos to the next Presi-
Dental election. He desires to make old Vir
ginia again mother-of Presidents. Recorder
Barnard has just entered the matrimonial state,
which is more agreeable than the State of New
York. The Chevalier Forney Is after the print
ing Of the next Congress, which job is also being
chased up by the Chevalier Heiss. They are
both so anxious to serve their ungrateful coan-
try and pocket good round profit, that they
will let all other matters of more or less conse-
quence 60 by. In fact there is scarcely any
thing to do, and hardly anybody to do 1t.
In this horrible state of thingswe are glad to
see that there Is one person, the Count Joannes,
ne George JONES' who, in spite of the weather,
intends to rush into the breach and give us some
thing new, novel and entertaining To speak
without ambiguity, the Count Joannes, ne George
Jones, is the author of our new sensation. The
Count Joannes, ne George Jones, is the coming
man, for the proof of which assertion we direct
attention to some very extraordinary and ex-
ceediDgly eloquent correspondence which we
have recently printed in the HERALD In the
first despatch the Count Joannes, ne George
Jones, is called upon by the world in general,
and three distinguished New Workers in particu-
lar, to wit, the Mayor, Mr.. Tiemann; the emil
nent counsellor, Mr.. James W. Gerard, and the
no less prominent actor, Mr.. Edwin Forrest, to
crafty the public with a performance Of Hamlet
a la mode de Joannes, ne George Jones. There are
other names attached to the letter, those of men
as yet unknown to fame.
The Count Joannes, ne George Jones, rather
than disappoint the Western World, has accepted
this trinitarian obligation, and intends to play
Hamlet esthetically and deliberately at Niblos
Garden next Saturday night. Likewise, the
Count Joannes, n, George Jones; intends to give
to the assembled wisdom of the metropolis an
oratorcal exposition of his ideas upon art, ltera
ture, politics in particular, and mundane affairs
in general.
We are quite confident from reading the names
of the endorsers of the Count Joannes, ne George
Jones-and they are among the strongest men in
the city-that the audience at Niblo's on Satur-
day will receive great treat. Mayor Tiemann
will give to the Count Joannes first rate idea
of the political side of the character of Hamlet,
Mr.. Gerard will get up the law of the case with
his usual skill, and the dramatic part of the per-
Torrance could not be in better hands than those
of Mr.. Edwin Forrest. Without doubt there
will be great deal Of curiosity about the per-
Torrance of Saturday next, and the affair will
60 off much better than that of the distinguished
patronesses of the performance in aid of the
Womanis Hospital.
As to the Count Joannes, ne George Jones, it
seems to be doubtful which continent may truly
claim the honor of his paternity. Five cities
claimed to be the birthplace of Homer-two
continents contest for the honor of having pro-
duced the Count Joanaes, ne George Jones. AS
for his requirements, they belong to the history
of the world. We may say incidentally, how
ever, that he has certificate of his literary
abilities from the King of Prussia. The impor-
lance of this document may be adjudged from
the fact that his Majesty has never done anything
sanely since. He has lost his wits, and has been
roaming up and down Europe looking for them
The Count Joannes, nj George JONES' was too
much for, and exhausted King Clicquot, who
washes his face with soup, decorates his beard
with maccaroni at Florence, and battles himself
in Chambertin upon the vine clad banks Of the
silver Rhine.
And now comes this artistic nobleman, this
literary giant this great savant armed with royal
letters patent, covered with orders of knight
hood, and bound up, we may say, in chivalric rib
bons, the Count Joannes, ne George Jones, to
illuminate the barbarians Of the Western World
with Shakspere's Hamlet, according to Jones'
Fortified by letters from the King of Prussia en-
dorsed by Mayor Tiemann, countersigned by
Counsellor Gerard and sealed by Edwin Forrest,
the Count Joannes, ne George Jones, goes in to
win. Let us take the boon with as much cool
ness as the weather will permit. Room for the
Count Joannes, ne George Jones.

that Governor Morgan has steadily set his face
