THE DRAMATIC CLUB IN CARSON.
A friend at the Capital writes US, that
Mrs. Getzler and Company played a
most successful engagement of four
nights; the wonder being great that
they did not stay the balance Of the
week. Our friend thinks that the Legis-
lators are bound to have their money
before the present week closes; and he
states that if the troupe will make ap-
poiutments for the entire of next week,
and so much of this batch Of six days as
possible, they will realize to the eI-
tent Of the theatres capacity for sitting
and standing room, every night. Our
correspondent, who is an old play.goer
and critic, speaks regretfully of the fact
that he did not attend until the last
evening of the Carson engagement; as
he had no idea in advance of his per-
sonal observation Of the excellence Of
the performances. He says that Mrs.
Getzler's acting in the Coujugal Lesson
and the Fool of the Family could not
be surpassed for naturslness and
appropriate vivaci,y. And he re-
lates to US the following amusing
incident: While the play Of the Con-
jugal Lesson was proceeding, when it
was nearly concluded, a gentleman ap-
pareutly about 45 years of age-who
had been noticed to come in solitary
and alone-who was seated on the south
side of the house, and near the wall
suddenly broke the silence of attention
to the play hitherto manifested by him.

lowing somnambulic, whispered excla'

very audible sigh: "Ill be id il

not take his vision from the stage, OF
become reused from his attention, alb
sorbed, to the actors. Those who have
heard the play of the Conjugal Lesson,
and remember its Caudle Lecture char
acteristics, will appreciate the force and
effect of this unconscious tribute to the
good acting Of somebody's familiar do
nestle experience. The name Of the
unfortunate gentleman, who thus ex.
posed his household record of tormen,
is, of course, withheld from our read.
ers. 1t would not be quite fair to take
such advantage of his irrepressible en-
dorsement Of the acting Of Mrs. Getzler
and G. W. Prescott, Jr. But the per-
formers are entitled to learn Of this
valuable applause received by them, but
probably, not before this reading under
stood in terms.
TO PREVENT STATE SCRIP BUYING.
We notice that Tom. Tenant has in
troduced into the Assembly a bill pre-
venting the Governor and Supreme
Judges from buying State scrip. From
the character of Mr.. Tenants remarks
at the time of introducing the bill, we
should infer that he thought the Gov
ernor and Supreme Judges had been
dealing recently in evidences of State
Indebtedness. We hardly think that
they have been so engaged; indeed we
do not know that such is the opinion Of
of Mr.. Tenant. But it is well to guard
against the influence of scrip specula-
ton over Departments that seem to
have pretty thoroughly usurped legisla-
tive functions in this State.
