OPERA HoUsE-MRs. LANDER AS MARY
STUARr.-A very large and appreciative
audience greeted Mrs. Lander, last night,
on the occasion of her appearance as Mary
Stuart. The assembly, though not quiteso
large as that of the preceding evening,
was, nevertheless, an immense one.
The scene opens for Mary Stuart, at
Frotheringay Castle where the unfortu-
nate Mary was confined by order of the
stern and inflexible Elizabeth. A box was
opened and the jewels. bestowed on the
fallen Queen by the King of France taken
and carried away, together with her pri-
vate letters and State papers. Queen
Elizabeth appears on the stage and a cab
met council is held with regard to Mary.
Burleigh, with his ability and sternness of
bearing, urges that she be executed, while
Leicester pleads for her life. In
the second scene, the unfortunate
Mary makes her appearance, dressed
in neat, plain black, looking the dignified,
noble, imprisoned Queen. A friend con-
veys secretly to her letter from her uncle,
the Cardinal, Duke of Guise, detailing a
plan of escape and final rescue. She ac-
cuses her judges of bribery and treachery,
denounces Elizabeth, and closes the scene
In torrent of rage and passion. The Sec
ond act reveals the splendid court of Eliza
beth, where Leicester, Cecil, Talbot and
others are in council on Mary's execution.
Leicester is afterward urged to aid Mary
to escape. He promises to do so. The
Queen is allowed to walk in the park at
Fortheringay Castle. Elizabeth approaches,
and one of the most remarkable scenes
ever worked up by dramatist takes place.
The fourth act is devoted to the death of
Mortimer, one of the most enthusiastic
friends of the Queen. Mortimer's arrest
was ordered by Leicester, who feared that
he would reveal his own completely in the
plot to promote Mary's escape.
In the fifth and last act Elizabeth signs
the death-warrant, and the play terminates
with the unfortunate Queen being led to the
block.
Ifanything were necessary to give Mrs.
Lander the first place in the galaxy Of his
trionic stars, her representations of the two
entirely different characters, "Good Queen
Bess" and MARY Queen OfScors," would be
sufficient. ..
Last night the auditor could not release
himself from the feeling that he stood in the
actual presence ofthe unfortunate prisoner,
so life-like were her presentations. 1t is the
highest attribute of genius and the glory of
the Players art, to take the audience from
the present, transport them from the days
and scenes around them back to the days of
the mighty past, to roll up the dusty cur
tain and bring from their tombs the regal
dead, making them living, moving actu-
alities. This genius has Mrs. Lander, this
glory is hers.
j. H. Taylor, as Leicester, and Fenno as
Burleigh, supported Mrs. Lander splendid
! ly. They are both actors of superior abil-
ity. In fact, the entire company sustained
itself admirably. This intensely interest
ing and affecting play was written by Schil-
Ter, and translated and adapted to the stage
| by Mrs. Fanny Kemble.
A NOVEL RoBBERY.-One would think
the Jail would be the last place in the world
for any one to go to commit a robbery
On Thursday night, somewhere about mid
night, Auditor Strait, who has a room in
the Sheriffs house, heard some one prowl-
ing round the Jail yard, where the prison.
ers, male and female, had their clothes
hung out to dry after being washed. The
robber was also heard by the daughter of
Sheriff Domigan, who threw an iron holder
at the individual. The rascal ran out be-
tween the old and new jails to Mound
street, having his arms full of plunder.-
His flight was accelerated by stool thrown
by Miss Domigan and brick by Mr.. Strait
AS he ran out into the moonlight they saw

clothing in the yard, and had made visit
to the room of Sheriff Domigan's hired
man, over the wash house, and carried of
his clothing, money and keys. Yesterday
morning huge horse pistol, loaded to the
muzzle, was found in the Jail yard where
Mr.. Strait first saw the negro. 1t is thought
the rascal is a fellow named Wash, who was
