ADJUSTMENTS.

L,,if,l ae if IL had not done long and eXbausung
sorvce in the cause Of the box Office II falls just as
uroperly as it ever did in grateful contrast with the
genuine tribute, which invariably falls short. With
what sweet honors have the solemn pedestrians been
visited Never is it their duty to pass up the regula'
ton bunch. II is SHE'D by practiced hand, and
potber staggers the performer nor evades recogn-
ton by dalliance the way. 1t is always on time,
and does the most substantial good. Yet is ire tied
with something ike contempt by actors who owe TO
it some of the proudest moments of their life. We
have seen lightly tossed off the stage, to fall per-
haps into the ca-bOys hands. That delightful crea-
ture Mrs. John Wood deliberately sat upon 1t one
night. Ii ia occasionally not even picked up Here
is Injustice Either the regulation bouquet should be
given up as one of the stale expedients of manage
ment, or else there should be more perfect under
standing between the management and the talented
company.
The other night Hermann, doing his ring trick,
asked one of the audience to test his strength IN
pulling apart rings that had been so easily put to-
gether, and the person, feeling in some measure
sudden but responsible public character, pulled go
hard that Hermann was nearly pulled off his prestl-
Equatorial feet and became a highly ncensed Pres
exerton on both sides. The struggle was prolonged
until the sympathies of the audience were aroused
Applause and Kisses mingled. In infinite mercy
Hermann forbore TO change his adversary into a
fan and throw him up into the third circle, or to
cause him to disappear and leave not trace, but lie
was in the end the champion Of the rings, as he was
in the beginning. He will appear four times more
in New-York, and twice in Brooklyn, and will then
proceed with all his spoils to Philadelphia, where
the Academy of Music is secured. His success has
been uninterrupted and due not less to the skillful
manner in which he has been introduced tothe public
than TO the perfection of his and the nicely Of his
practice.
There is deal Of heartiness and freshness in the
exhibition of whaling at Hope Chapel. Weary
travellers through the desert of amusement, so lightly
interpreted with oases, may pick up spirits The
Captain overcomes even the chronic gloom Of the
Chapel, 70 absurdly named, and fascinaes one with
the sea, which he ros under his tongue like a sweet
meat. As natural oratory some Of his descriptions
are wonderful and at the point of the voyage when
the whale blows ahead, bis excitement has trlte Of
the awful in it. If he should harpoon mild spectator
the audience would probably forgive him in their
intense sympathy with the sport. In all sorts OF
ways the Voyage is worth taking. 1t has neither
seasickness nor the smell of the lamp about it. The
pictures are good and the Captain is graphic man.
! We ask that police investigation be made Of the
concert halls of Broadway. The public is much con-
cerned in this glaring phase Of city life. We can
conceive no vice more abominabe than that which
most of them haunt in the face of citizens. There
are differences. These can easily be recognized.
The Canterbury Hall presents nothing openly offen-
sive to decent feeling. From the standard Of this
place the descent to Ayernus is very steep. good
New Workers fail TO perceive that licensed prostitu-
ton, conducted in the very light Of official lanterns
wrecks the prospects Of the city, depreciates the
value of real estate, and most surely sussins the
rule of bad men The case presses. We do not ex-
aegerate the inefable nastness of the line of con-
Gel halls Oh tie thoIoughfare that has been called
the noblest in the world. If we have government,
it is a case calling upon it, camoring for it. There
is something worse than q row in public place,
which alone seems to suggest duty TO the police.
There ia disgusting public nuisance, and 1t ought
to be abated by the public. Dead animals in the
street are nothing TO Of the halls The theaers
suffer too. The whole thing is wrong.
There will be novelties at two Of the theaters this
week both of semi-mitary character. "Napo-
leon lie the piece at the Winter Garden. Its sue
cess like that Of score of other heroic Dramas il
based on the real OF fanced resemblance Of actor
in this case Mr.. Charles Kembe Masonic the
great original. 1ableaux introduced. Mr..
Charles Walcot, and q portion of bis family, will
appear in the curious drama of "Lavater." 1t
shows Mr.. Walcots best gifts to the best advantage.
The " Cup and the Lip" have bad their proverbial
slip. The new drama at Wallacks is founded either
on Thomas Taylors drama Banker and Bngand
or Edmund Abouts romance "The King of the
Mountains" 1t 10 not deemed necessary TO credit
4 authors with their work. SO much disguisng and
botching indeed, are DONE that perhaps this ia the
wisest policy. The experiment of decorous drama
at the uptown theater has measuraby failed. Our
theaters are all good that new one more or less
seems to excite little curiosity. Mr.. Wallack is pre-
pared for the emergency. He promises brilliant
spectacle tomorrow night-the dance, song, colors,
and the most powerful sentiments.
| Miss Laura Keene continues the Seven Sons"
and is successful. A very little sugaring commends
a nauseatng pill to the palate of the public. Miss
Keene will probably have occasion TO change
treatment of the patient this season. 1t is dreary
prospect TO all but the treasurer and his friends.
Criticism is really out in the cold. The receipts
of the Sons, however not great those Of the
Sisters
There are three Circuses-Nixon's at Palace
Garden the Orion in the Bowery, and Lent'S in
Brooklyn. Thisis one trihDg indication, among many
others Of kindred Sort Of the ruin has brought
upon the metropolis. Nixon has not yet felt the
need of going into Winter quarters. He prefers to
