The CoutiAental Ct Loae Branch. made
$40, 600, and the Stetson abest ~, 600, while
six or seven moro Of the hoeels there yielded
. toerable profit. The Gregory House, Il

The Black Crook profits have been remark
able, and continue with little abatement
Jarret 4 Palmer, who brought The ballet over
here from Paris, have made clear profit Of
$4,000 each up to date, and Wheatiy, the
manager Of Niblo's has realized about the
same sum. They believe. this spectacle will
draw six or eight months longer, and that
100000 will be their individual portion be-
fore they getthrough with the great leg piece,
as it is styled in Gothamite green rooms.
The Crook, beyond all odds, has been the
greatest dramatic success ever known in this
country.
Green>room Gossip says that Edwin For
rest is soon to marry the young actress, Miss
Lliie, as the playhills style her. who has been
supporting him at the Broadway. She is
twenty, aud the eminent tragedian over sixty !;
bnt she is said to have most romantic ATTACKS
mens for him, and to have idolized him as
any loving woman would. She was left an
orphan, according to rumor, and Forrest took
her as an infant, and reared her with the
greatest care. He adopted her at first as his
daughter but his and her affections changing
its character, he is to make her his wife, and
leave her half his fortune. Such is the story,
aud ] give it as have heard it, without ask.
ing any one to believe it because tits in print.
Ristori is not doing very well this season !;
and do not believe either she or Grau will
make much money in their present visit to
this county. Her "Myrrhao is the most Al.
tlstic thing she has done here but the i'm
persona.ion will never be popular on account
Of its unpleasant character. An American
audience can not sympathize with woman,
however beautiful or fascinating, who is sup.
posed to have an incestuous love for her ia
ther.' As people, we are more moral than
artistic, and until VIC approach more nearly
the refinement and culture of psganism, we
shall lack proper appreciation of purely clas-
sic subjects. "Myrrh' has been presented
but twice here, to rather slender audiences,
and will hardly be given a third time.
Marie Antoinette,n it is thought, will
elicit some of the old enthusiasm above the
Italian actress; but Just now she and her
manager feel rather discouraged, for they
know New ork is the stronghold.
