1t is scarcely probable, Messrs. Editors.
that we can tell you much about the Queen
City, in short letter, but a word now and
then, even Of the vericst nonsense, t!is good
for the best of men" .i.' .-.AF ~
OF course this is n great town-how
great one cannot tell, and there seems to
no definite understanding on that subject.
Many claim that the population reaches
100000; but that is questionable Proba-
bly, the census will show it TO be l7N, 900.
Still it is great town, and merits the
credit it receives for rapidity of growth
and increase of fine buildings and we'll pa
we'd streets. > 's5.2'N 'tE .f'5 l.al
And yet it is scarly a question, if the
city of Cincinnati has not, iii many senses,
seen the brightest of her days Size has, it
is trne, an imhgrant clpmciit of trade aud
progress that will increase her business
and put money in her pocket, but the ont
side traffic is considerably cut down, She
is bleeding from such veins as Chicago,
St. Louis, and other western cities have
most ruthlessly opened with the lancet Of
commerce. M moro forever. can She be

We have not noticed in our frequent Wis
its, heretofore, so few vessels, as at pres
ent, nor have ever seen SO little apparent
business But there Is much doing, aud
we believe that the Queen City will cGntin-
uc to be Il great town At present, there
are some elegant buildings in the course of
erection, though it has been hut n few
years since this spirit of handsome i'm

continue, though we fear she will never
reach her great western instigutor In

America: .aQ Esr

which it stands, was gift from citizen,
to one OF the Images, many years ago SO
far back that at the time of its donation,
the ground was considered valueless.a The

Mclaughlin is the architect, and this

here during an opera season, and the place

Starr King lectured there last evening, but
anotacr engagemant prevented our going.
Th2 house, on tlte outside, is not handsome
Indeed, it is generally conceded to he as
homcly as it possibly could have heen

the Union. aIr. Mclaughlin. assures us
that there is not such room in the world.

Aud talking of this, reminds us rf the
National Theatre IN Sycamore street. It
is lSplendid building, and from the
street much haudsomer than Pixies Opera
House. Julia Dean Hayne is playing
there, and We saw our old friend Henri in
the rotunda hast night We can not see
mpchi It auy, difference in Julia Dean
She looks MS young and pretty as ever, and
I III her legitimate role is scarcely euualled.
But. out of that we would not see her. \
few evenings since, we dropped in to C.b-l
serve her in Lucrctia Borgia, but were
compelled to leave nj the end of tho, 2d
act, so shamefully was the play butchvrcd.
Julia Dean. is not fit for such a cIIaracter-
her lace Is too sweet and pretty-her Voice
too soft and beautiful. Que can not asso--
clate such face and figure and voice with
SO abandoned a character as n Borgia.
More than that, she looks too Young for
the mother of such man as Gcnarro.. ...
But last night she PLAYED q new play-
Ito us-called Griseldis, and her acting was
: leXqulsitely eautiful-inleed, We have
never seen it eXcellel. Tho story is like
/ this: Griseldis (NIrs. Hayne) is a Golfers

gence wins the love Of PerciyaI of Males.
