Theatrical.

VARIETIES Among the audience which last
evening attended the third performance of the
sterling Irish drama Peep o. Day. were many
of the visitors from the interior, and from other
States, now sojourniDg in the city. The perform
apce passed off pleasngly. We must again COM
pliment the jig dancing of Mr.. Gomersal and Mss
Rose Wood. The former in particular, was
laughably nimble, and developed an agility which
the most frOlicsome visitor at Donnybrook might
justly envy. The scene in the last act where the
infoImer (Hsgan) is baffied by the timely inter
vention of Harry Kdudndgh (Lawlor) forms
pleasing solution Of the plot. The piece is to be
repeated every evening this week. and also at
the Saturday matinee. Mr.. Jefferson appears on
Monday evening in "Trip Van Winkle."
ACADEMY OF MUslc.-The management, deter.
mined not to be behindhand in the festivities ne
cessariy attendant upon the State fair and the ia
lux of visitors, announce great variety pro-
gIsmme, introducing amusements of all kinds
known upon the stage-dramatic, terpsichorean,
vocal and humorous. Among the additional at.
fractions, Ada St. Clair commences an engage.
ment, and by her vocal melodies will assist in en-
PERTAINING the patrons Of the establishment. We
can assure strangers in our city Presidents know
1t already that the Academy performances will
Ieyer be found wanting in interest aud mirth.
ST. CHARLss.-1he house was a good one last
evening. g Blessings brighten they take their
Eight" and il really seems that, as the " Black
Crook nears its withdrawal, each succeeding
representation is witnessed by increased audi
e1ces. On Sunday night, the favorite Miss Syl.
Vester has benefit. Always popular as an
tIess, she has recently, in the role of the Fairy
Queen, so faithfully performed her duties, that we
are very sure her many friends will be glad Of the
opportunity to be offered, for a display of their
appreciation. Remember, too that on Monday
evening Mr.. Forrest appears in the great chalac.
ter of Ricbelieu.
RoBINSONs COMBINATIoN.-The noon and even
ing performances of this attractive establishment,
now exhibiting at the corner of Orleans and Bour.
bon streets, are drawing large crowds of eager
juveniles, together with equally large attend
aLce Of the older admirers of the sawdust ring.

tenment is well worth the inspection of visitors

warfare must go on to the bitter end, whether
it be the dissolution of the British empire or
the eradication of the Irish element from
Ireland.
If Fenianism is curiously phenomenal it is
not SO by reason of being an exception to the
course of history, but by reason of being a
superlatively intensified expression of gene
raj truth taught by previous historical exam
pies. There is no sadder or more formidable
evidence than that which it affords of the in
evitable visitation of the sins of ancestors
upon posterity. The acrid Fenian SAVIOR with
which the teeth of the present generation of
Englishmen are on edge, is the inexor-
able sequence of the sour grapes of
oppression and misrule in Ireland,
INDUCED by generations of Englishmen who
were long since called from the scene of NOR
tai responsibilities. When the English
craftsmanship of to-day finds it impossible
now to conciliate the Irish, it is simply
paying the penalty incurred by the English
statesm anship which in former periods
refused to adopt measures of Cancellation,
and thought only of governing the Irish as a
subject people upon those two principles of
brute persuasion, force and fear. A like
brute policy has been ascendant for several
years past in the relations of the federal gov
eminent, as the embodiment of Northern
power, towards the great majority of the
Southern people; and nothing but an early
and thorough abandonment of it, along with
sincere and assiduous effort to rectify its
evils, can prevent it from producing moral
fruits in the future as bitter as those which
have ripened from the sap Of the ancient rule
of England over Ireland.

To-DAY's PROGRAMME AT THE FAIR.-The pro-
ceedings at the Fair Grounds to-day are to com.
mence at ii o'clock, and to be as follows: Fifteen
premiums of $40, and several Of lesser amounts t.
bulls, COWS and bulocks; five premiums for stall.
lions, mares and geldings for single harness; ten
for thoroughbred horses, Cthe premium horse in
this ring will not be permitted to compete for
sweepstakes on the seventh days. ten for cattle
other than thoroughbred; and two prizes of $50
each, the first one free for all trotters that have
never beaten 2:35 to prove their merits in mile
heats, three best in five the second for the winner
Of mile heats, free for all PAGERS.
The weather, though cold, will be clear, and
the north wind last night will have done a great
deal towards drying the ground under foot. We
shall therefore look for a more numerous con.
course to-day than on either Of the preceding
ones.
There will also be morning and evening base
ball games-Crescent Va. Clipper in the forenoon,
and Comet vs.. Southern in the afternoon.

GTeeley's RecDllections of a Busy Life" like
the once celebrated sands Of life have nearly ruu
out, or rather they are running into "reminiscences
of the not over busy lives Of other people. The
LAST instalment in the Ledger for January IL, is
devoted wholly TO Margaret Fuller, and therein
Mr.. Greeley quotes remark of her cousin Chan
nirg's after a conversation with Margaret In 1880
expressing, as h. G.. says, with great "delicaeyn
the idea that behind the female book worm there
was q true. warm woman. Whereup0n II. G.
says: elf had attempted to say this, should
have some how blandered out that, noble and
great as she was. q good husband and two or
three bouncing babies would have emancipated
her from great deal Of cant and nonsense" If
H. G. had attempted a remark of this Sort il
would not have been so much blunder as an az
terthought Of considerably later date than 1910,
and a downright plagiarism from Tennyson's
" Princess where the +" hard old king" remarks
of his womsn's rights daughter. who had founded
a female eelibate college: "a lusty brace of
twins will weed her Of her foly."-[N. Y. World.

ANEcpoTE OF AN AcTOR.-Simpson, the actor,
would never take any medicine, and his medical
man wss often obliged TO resort to some STRAIT
agem to impose dose upon him. There is play
in which the hero is sentenced in prison, to drink
a cup of poison. Harry Simpson was playing this
character, one night, and had given directions to
have the cup filed with port wine; but what was
his horror, when be came to drink it, to find It
contained dose of senna He could not throw
it away, as he had to hold the goblet upside down,
to show his prosecutors he had drained every drop
Of it. Simpson drank the medicine with the slow
ness Of poisoned martyr, but he never forgave
bis medical man. as was proven at his death, for
he died without paying his bill.

THE PRESIDENT ON GEN. SHERIDAN" Mack"
of the Cincinnati Commercial, has had another
talk with the President. From his account of it
we take the following:
The president alluded to the frequency with
which the term "obstructing reconstruction"
was epplied to him and his action, and said it was
meaningless and absurd. They can't point to a
single justification for it. | have not attempted
to postpone, for single day, any convention, or
any proce ediDg under the law. have executed
the law az far as my duty was concerned, to the
very 'leter.'n He then alluded TO Gen. Sheri.
dams conduct in Louisiana, and the frequent use,
by that officer. of the words impeachment to re-
construction" applied TO civil officers whom be
felt called upon TO remove. Sheridan said Wells
was an 'impediment,' aud he removed him, but
he didn't get along any faster after that
There never was more aagrant case Of defiance
of authority than Sherid3n's. lie issued an order,
one day. directing that the bonds issued by the
legislature for the repairs Of the leVees should be
turned over to a new set Of commissioners. ap-
pointed by hiGl, instead of the Old commissioners
appointed by the legislature. Wells telegTaphed
to me, one day, 10 suspend that order until he
could have the case examined here. | compiled
with his request. AS soon as Sheridan heard what
Wells had done, he issued order, at three
o'clock in the morning, hurting Wells out Of
Office. It was a gross piece of insubOrdination.
The only thing Wells sddOne to obstruct recon
struction was TO ask NE to suspend Sheridan's
order about the levee bonds until be could present
the case fairly TO me on its merits. The governor
of Texas was Ousted as an impeachment, but it
didn't do bit Of coed. It didn't help reconstruc-
ton any, because il can't be helped by any such
acts. IL will 90 on just as we'll under one set Of
officers as under another, bat instead Of Overturn
ing things as little as possible, Sheridan went to
work to do it as much as possbe."
