his party. But We will say this much
however. that we have always found him
an opponent free from the petty meanuess
two often attending political leaders. We
have no idea that this district shall again

we should rather have an honorable, high

ARCH STREET THEATRE,-Mr. Clarke, favor
ite everywhere, is especially fsvorito in Phia-
delphia, where his fame first arose. But bIr.
Clarkes popularity is not local one he has
unmistakable genius, which finds homo every
where. Last evening, 10 an enormous house,
Mr.. Clarke appeared as ''WaddiloYc." The awk-
waIk mschicyOus scLoo-boy is one of Mr..
Clarke's great poruaituIes III the humorous line,
but il differs from the "WaddiloVeS" of
all other aClors by q total absence of that Vul-
garity usually considered a. portion of the tun.
Iudeed, it is one of Mr.. Clarke's great character
istcs that lie has never allowed himself TO be
exaggerated into yulgarity by the applause OF the
public. Last evening he gave us in all three
pieces but one phase of his talent-its humor-
playing three (as the bills have III roaring flrccs.
But Mr.. Clarke has the power of pathoj which
distinguishes him from all other great comic
actors. His power of rapid facial expression is
wonderful the changes of his voice, and his by
play, all admirable, make Clarke a thorough
artist. tMr. MarlOwe's "M. Tourblllon' was q
very bad performance, without one redeeming
/ quality-hard, awkward, ,igrotesquc, and full of
/ mistakes in regard 10 the French we could not
! but recall with a sigh Barton Hills performance
! of the part here. IL is, too, one Of Mr. Btker's

conception.
