guage. The early plays were witten in Latin,
which could not be underwood by those
hearers for whom these Jokes end sarcasms
were especially intended. At the same time,
it can hardly be said that the Latin phys were
composed by authors of any great learning.
We find them adhering to the letter of the
Bible with closeness which raher INJURIES its
spirit. Thus, when Mary Maedalene meets
our Lord in the garden, she addresses him as
rabbi, that is to say, Master" Again, in a
play on the Nativity, in the opening of which
we have disputation between ST. Augustine
and the High Priest of the Jews, accompanied
with violent laughter on the part of the latter,
the fight into Egypt gives rise to some very
strange incidents. The King of Egypt comes
on the stage singing song in praise of love
and the spring. just then, Joseph and
Mary appear with the child Jesus. and at
once all the statues of the Egyptian gods fall
to the ground. The priests endeavor, without
success, to put them up again, calling upon the
gods themselves, especially Jupiter, Neptune,
Venus and Vesta, to protect their images. Of
course, it never occurred to the author that
these gods were Roman, and that the Egyp-
tan worship was of very different charac-
ter. It was enough for him that the nation
was heather; and as that was beyond all
doubt, the identity of the gods was wholly
immaterial. Another piece of apparently
much the same date and very similar charac-
teristics, has for its subject the coming of
Antichrist. The various kings who are re-
presented as ruling at the same time are the
King of Jerusalem, the Emperor, the German
and Frankish kings, the Greek Emperor, the
King of Babylon, and the King of the Hea-
then. The Jewish Synagogue and the Chris
tian Church are also characters in the play.
We hear at the beginning of the third act that
all Christian kings have become subject to
the Emperor The King of Babylon is SO en-
ragged at this that he declares war on the
King of Jerusalem, and the latter appeals for
help to the Emperor as the protector of the
Church. The Emperor at once marches
against the King of Babylon, and defeats him
in single combat. This pleasing intermix-
ture of ancient and medieval personages is
not, perhaps, so remarkable as the confusion
of heathen gods, but it speaks of an age
which was cheerfully Indifferent to historical
accuracy.

him against the exercise of jurisdiction by civil
courts over his ship, she being q public ship OF

Arrest of n Lady for Wearing the Unmen-
ttOnRbles.
From the Cincinnati Times
Mrs. Mary DR.. Walker is leaving behind foot
prints on the sands of time" which others, i'm at
tempting to follow, very generally find II hard
road to travel. Walker has started desire on the
part of the angelical portion of humanity to don
breeches and this is forbidden fruit In the great
Western metropolis. Strong minded females very
foolshly are not content with gazing at pantaoons
in the distance nor does O closer relation in the
way of sewing on buttons satisfy their proverbal
curiosity They must wear to know them.
Walker has much to answer for in tanning the flame
into direct disobedience of the laws that be. But
women will be women, and men, too, If the police
would only let them alone. Last night one of these
forbidden-frut ladies, clad in an elegant male cos
tune, was detected, on the corner OF Walnut aud
females properly cOstumed. She arrested by
Qlcer Kelly who conveyed her to Third Street Sta
ton House. Here she wept pteousy, and begged
for freedom. She said her name was Agnes Miller
that she was the mother Of three children and the
wife of respectable mechanic and that she put on
the male habit "only for joke.n
The hard-hearted hiGe-cOats would not hear of
such disposition OF case promising much scandal
in the Police Court, and, with their peculiarly gentle
and persuasive arts, prevailed upon Agnes to accept
a room for the night at the expense of the city,
Thus it came about that through foolish freak,
qualification OF curiosity to the pleasure de-
rived from wearing breeches, respectable woman
was made to taste the dregs of incarceration in
loathsome staton-house Mrs. Miller did not appear
in court this morning Judge Straub having ordered
that the case be stricken from the docket on the
ground that there was no law to prevent women
from wearing mems apparel.
The officer who arrested happened to be in the
rigidy exactng mood in which policemen OCCASION
ally md themselves, and had not discrimination or
Judgment enough to discover that the woman was
