Mr.. johnson, in the character of the Duke
is perfectly splendid when he exclsims:-
"Hapless JEFF. whom the fates have mark'd
To bear the extremity of dire mishapi
Now, trust me- were II not against our laws,
Against my crown, my oath, my dignity,
Which princes, would they, may not disapnul,
My soul should sue advocate for thee.
But, though thou art adjudged TO the death,
And passed sentence may not be recalpd,
But TO our hOnor's great disparagement
Yet will favor thee in what can"
Notwithstanding the " Occasional" pathos
pervading many parts of the play, the ludicrous
position in which the ''Duke" is often placed by
one of the Dromios, and the ingenuity evinced
by The ''Dromio" from Syracuse 20 extrcate him
self and ,the ''Duke", makes this equal TO any
thing of Shrkespeare's or Boucicaults.
The Management expect to engage some
celebrated supporters of Ethiopian characters
in connection with the other performances
should exhibitions of that kind seem to be popu-
lar. The management is now in negotiation with
Mr.. Beecher,
A CELEBRATED SUPPORTER OF ETHIOPIAN
CHARACTERS,
from the Plymouth Theatre, Brooklyn, and 1t
expects soon TO be happy to announce him ION
the boards.n
Messrs. Grant and Farragut from the "The-
atre of War have already been engaged, and
other American Stars will be added to the Com
pany from time to time, as the success of
the enterprise shall warrant
The Management have also in preparation to
be produced at no distant day, several Dramas
by the most popular Dramatists, and each one of
which will be presented to the public with a
strong cast of characters, among which might
be mentioned the celebrated Irish burlesque en-
titled

Matinees will be held every Saturday after
noon for families and children. The perform
ance next Saturday afternoon is to be the Scrip

(From the Camden theatres.)
Children need not be frightened at this per-
formance, as the "Calf" will not be really killed
only pretend"
1t is expected that the well-known leading
Southern actor, Mr.. J. Davis, now held to an en-
gagement in Virginia, may be released in season
to appear Oh the boards, his first appearance
since his last unsuccessful assumption OF femi-
nine characters in 1865.
The Management gives notice that the desire
of large portion of the public, that new ''act
drop" be prepared to greet Mr.. Davis upon his
first appearance in public, Will be taken into
consideration.

LEARNING A TRADE.

1t was a wise law of the ancient
jews, that the sons of even their
wealthiest men should be obliged to
serve an apprenticeship to some use
full occupation, SO that in case Of re-
verse of fortune they might have
something to "fall back upon" The
same still exists in Turkey, where
every man rich or poor, even the
Sultan himself, must learn trade.
How fortunate would it be now
had it been law in this country.

the cry of thousands of our returned
soldiers, North and South, who find
themselves ruined in pocket, with no
immediate prospect of gaining a live

livelihood, and every effort is made
to give them an education to that
end. So far as the education of
their children in the science of keep

idea is good one, as every young
man should have sufficient knowl-
edge to properly manage his own
books, should he ever embark in
business; but to make book keepers
and clerks of all our boys is a grand

advise all parents to teach their sons

My Dear SSr-Your note Of the 4th inst
has been received. have read your chap
ter thirty eight Of "The Lost Cause,n very
carefully, twice. There is not one single
statement therein contained, relating to
matters of exchange or to transactions in
which l was concerned, that is not strictly
and accurately true. do not think the
gentleman who had charge of the subject
of the exchange of prisoners on the part of
the United States government will contro-
vert any material statement you have
made relating to that subject. am quite
confident that my offer in August, 1865, to
deliver the Federal sick and wounded,
without requiring the delivery of Confed-
crate equivalents. will not be denied. The
fact that the United States authorities
acted upon the offer, and at late day dis
patched steamers to the mouth of the Sa-
vannah river to receive their men, ought
to be sufficient proof, if any denial is made.
Yours truly, RO. OULD.
