ruG DRAMA AND TIE T.Mas.-Tho New
York EX} }res+ speaking of the performance
Of damon and Iythias 10y Forest, recently,
alludes to the eager way in which every por
tiou of the play which could be construed as
allUdjr@ in the most distant manner 20 ma
tioual politics, was seized upon 10y the audi
euce, while special parts provoked continuous
bursts Of applause. THIS was the case with
"Damon'a' passi nate capitally rem
Gered by Forrest
~ blush so look around ard o.li you men,
What, with Iour oEn free, willing hands, yield up
The fabric of your Const tutloL?'
and also with his fierce cry of sorrow-
"ol! all yc Gods! my country! Oh! my country"
We may also cite the rapturous plaudits
which succeeded to
'Dequ's the best girt to one that never yet
Wished TO saryive his country"
Brt were we to except all the passages
which struck on the keynote of popular feel
ing at the present moment, We might take
twenty or thirty, and the very popular fccl-
ing which is so keenly alive to politics makes
this unnecessary, demanding Orieler criticism,
while it asks for leugthier reports and lenders
at the hands Of the journalists We will con-
scluently allude to one more passage only as
"A purely histiionic excellence. This wts in
the same scene from which we have taken
the preceding quotalion-that in the Senate
House
"Rut no. will not raj nor chide, nor curse ye.
Twill imp!Ore you, fellow couutrymen
With blinded eyes and weak and broken speech,
will implure you.'
These lines were uttered with a soul felt
suppIicat,on which we have rarely been inn
pressed with upon the stage, and richly de-
served the applause which followed them.
A IIoN's LOVE FOR a BLACK TlGREss. ss.-The
Philadelphia North American records the
following singular case "ln one compart,
mcnt OF the cage N which the animals per-
form ut Van AHlrgh's beautiful menagere
( in Chestnut street is huge tawny A-iatiC
lion His Ioom-mate is a black female tiger
The tiger is sInall, compared to the regal
lion, but is highly yalued as Il geological Gu
riosity. and the only specimen Of the black
/ tiger in this country. She was purchased 10y
/ MIR. Van Amhurgh some two years ago, and
has lived with the lion ever since. The at
/ mchmcnt between the two is somewhat re-
! markabe. When other animals are in the
same cage, and any atfront is offered to the
/ little tiger, she runs under the belly Of the
/ lion, and wee he to the animal that dare APP
/ proach her. No matter how hNngry he may
! he. the lion never touches his share OF their
daily meat until his little cium has selected
/ Ier Share. and even this lac never entirely
consumes until certain that she has enough
! all the animals are as ft rs mole-; but this
! black tiger is aldemluc in her proportions,
/ and no remedy exists lor the matter. She
has been twice removed from the lion, but

frantic manner in which he dashed at the
bars was a sufficient warning that the furth-
! er detention Of the tiger would be danger
ous matter Should lis mate die the lior
would probably pine to death. Once wher

ted. The lion instantly fell upon her, and al
single bite broke her spine and crushcC

MANAGEMENT or CREAM IN Cold WEATHER
/ For some reason not yet known, cream
skinned from milk in cold weather. does no
come to butter, when churned SO quickly a.
that from the same cow in warm weather
/ Perhaps the pelicles, which form the !iill'
sacks Of butter in the cream, are THICKER anC
tougher. There are two methods OF OLIVIA
ting this trouble in a great degree. One is
to set the pan of milk on the stove, or j.
some warm place, as soon ats strained, and i.
it remain until quite wara-some say, anti
n bubble or two rise, or until a skim Of cream
begins TO form on the surface. Another mode
recommended, is to add table spoonful o
salt to a quart of cream when it is skinned
Cream thus prepared viii generally come {
butter in few minutes when churned. III
