8lack Crook Drama md Black Crook
-. Literature.
Truly we are great people. Till VIC sprang
into existence the world knew not what il was,
iar less what it was capable OF becoming Our
territory, our mountains, our rivers, our social
life, our enterprise, our daring, our inventive
genius are all on scale Of magnifcence which
il entirely without parallel In the past history
Of the world and which forbids comparison
with anything in existing nations. The nations
hitherto have been governed too much by pre-
cedent II is our mission to teach the nations
the absurdty Of following precedent. What Is
precedent, what Is example, TO us? Why
should a great and ingenious people be tied
down TO the examples OF timid and fearful
past! n there be any value In example Il COLI
slss In The influence which we are to exert on
the generations to come, not in the influences
which are brought to bear upon US by the
generations ofthe past
In nothing il the peculiarly OF our national
genius 80 manifest ~ in The spectacular dramas
which now hold possession Of the stage aud the
peculiar illustrated literature which IL spring
ing mp, mushroom-like, all around us. The
aBlack Crook marks q new era in the history
Of the Stage. The managers OF Niblo's have
carried us back TO primitive models We know
now what IL meant by the simplicity of nature.
To the thsatre-going public Of New York the
phrase "a feast for the gods" has now we'll
defined and ineligible meaning. Olympian
Jove himself never feastcd his eyes
on more attractive specimens Of female
beauty than has been the privilege
Of every citizen OF New York for
che last sixteen months. Never even In
Greece, did the female figure assume such
lovely proportions, and never was the form Of
woman 80 skilfully exhibited. The wisdom
Of the management and the taste or New York
city have been proved by pecuniary success
which is without parallel in theatrical enter
prise. The "Black Crook" has yielded up its
place 70 the "whits Fown.D and what the
BLACK Crook" was to all previous spectacular
dramas. that the "whitc Fawn" II to the "Black
Crook" In msgniacence Of artificial scenery
in the gorgeousness and multiplicity Of its
living tableaux, In the artful revelation ol
forms Of beauty which rarely meet the vulgar
eye, the "Whits Fawn" stands alone. In

Our Winter Carnival.

The season Of masked balls has fairly COM
menced in the metropolis. We have already
had the inaugurating soirse Of the Cercle Fran
Gals at the Academy Of Music, where q most
dashing, jovial and happy company, attired in
the varied costumes Of every quarter of the
globe, danced and flIrted and enjoyed them
selves from dusk until early dawn, giving us
another proof Of the possibility Of engrafting
on the stock Of American recreations the for
elgn advertisement of the bal masQus. We are
certainly indebted to our citizens of foreign
birth for the inception Of this daring and happy
innovation, which adds so sparkling and
piquant variation to the old fashioned, hum
drum style of amusements in which we have
been accustomed to find our sole enjoyment
and qualification. All doubts that may have
been entertained by hypercritical and sus-
picious people as to the effects on the morals
of the community Of this strange and unique
style Of diversion are already laid at rest by
the wonderful success Of the bals nsasquss Of
The past seas6n. We have partially
learned that happy, Laughing, sportve
crowd Of dancers, even If they are
dressed ins every costume worn by
civilized beings since the exit from
the worlds stage Of our worthy ancestors,
Adam and Eve, may mngle, under o brilliant
glare OF gaslight, on the floors of our salons,
in the innocent dance, without offending
the most rigorous rule Of social propriety.
The balls of the Csrc,e Fancais, the Purim
and Leiderkranz have certainly been estab-
nshed on permanent! basis in the list of social
snjoyments, and their success has been of ma
terial value 10 the modisies, milliners and cos
tuners, and the very numerous class Of the in
dustrial population dependent upon them for
work. Thus this brilliant novelty affords
delightful entertainment TO the pie asure seekers
and bread to very many worthy persons.
In Europe the bal 0,asquS Is the most popu-
lar Of amusements. The carnival in Rome,
Florence and Naples is failure when series
OF magnificent masked balls do not occur. In
Florence, on these occasions even in the dull
est times, the grand Opera House is crowded
with dense throng OF masked figures below
and brilliant assemblage of the nobility In
che Oges, who adopt this season for the ex-
change ofannual greetings and the performance
OF social duties. With the Italians the balls
resemble the New Years day of the Knicker-
bockers. In Paris, Berlin, Vienna ard st.
Petersburg the bal masqss is at home.
Prince and peasant minsle on the floor,
and for the time being all barriers
are broken down by the universal
spirit of amusement and sport It is thus of
service, then, in bringing closer together the
various classes Of society and enabling them
to obtain a better knowledge each OF the
other. While we do not require here the
bal nasqs6 to remove any artificial barriers in
society, we shall find Its influence most happy
in giving to our rather monotonous line Of
amusements q freshness, novelty and variety
which IT has long lacked, and for that reason
We say pice le bal masqu6.

Ex-Gov. Seymour says: "Under its
(Congress's) influence, some ofthe States
organized by its agents are purposing to
deprive the people of the right to vote for
Presidential electors, and the first bold
steps are taken to destroy the right of suf-
frage" Should any of the Southern States
cast their electoral votes through their
Legislatures, instead of by electors elected
by the people, it will be only what South
Carolina, Democratic State of the olden
times, has always done until now. The
Democrats of South Carolina will have
the 6rst opportunity they ever enjoyed of
voting for Presidential electors. If this
is bold step toward destroying the right
of suffrage, why did not the Democratic
party find it out when it was SO long
practiced by them.
