Ed. LEADER Tho coal smoke hangs
dense over the Queen City, and the wealth
er is as warm as if all the smoke came from
fires kindled expressly to heat the atmos-
phere The late news touching the danger
in which the Capital was supposed to be
stirred up the people wondrOusly, The
Burnet was throhged by anxious crowds,
and all the public places were filed by
eager inquirers and advisers. But Wash
ingtOn is not yet attacked, and probably
never win be by civil or foreign foe.
The war news from day to day, and the
war excitement at all times, takes precc-
donce Of all other matters. During all the
past season lectures, which have generally
been well attended, have been failures. The
Theatres are open. At Woods Matilda
Heron Stoepel has been playing fair
engagement, but she must have the pres
enee Of large'and enthusiastic audiences to
which she is accustomed, if her strength is
to be shown. Her acting is always good,
but il was when she filled Wallacks hieht-
ly, and the great Boston Academy, that
she made for herself histrionic name.
The very fascinating Webb Sisters have
been playing and their engagement is for
all next week, some Of their telling pieces.

and acceptably in al their role l had as
willingly see Miss Ada in her Protean

eccentric character should not OF course be |

to the vitality Of the House of Lords. s'itis |
one thing to be stoutly alive, and quite an /
Otherto be troublesome by kicking" So /
is one thing for the actor to be compare
lively inert when we are hungry for the
showing Of merry life, and quite another
for him to fill the hour with his graceful
pleasantries 50 earnestly rendered that
though our minds are on the stretch we do
not tire.
Il is quite true that we are not in the
habit Of giving full credit to the young
actors and actresses of our country. We
want them to be imported like the Italian
singers and the lady piano players But
some Of the best music that is sung or
played may be had Of our amateurs.
And We need not ask Europe for YER
iqtile PrOtean young lady actresses.
IN q word We think, and we ere not alone.
