NATIONAL THEATRE.--"Humpty Dumpty''
was put upon the stage at the National last
evening In manner to commend ii to pub
lie favor 1t Is seldom that new piece
works 90 smoothly the hrst night, and ac-
cordlng to the way Il was received by the
audience, the indications are that u will not
only win popular applause, but have quite q
run. The house was packed to its utm ost
, capacity, and many found II difacult 10 OBJ
tain even standing room. It will be re-
pcated tonight.
Walls 0PrRA HousK.-The second week
Of the aregory's was entered upon yester-
day, and there was matinee in the amer
noon which drew full house. Tho audience
was not so large in the evening, but the en-
tire performance went OF pleasantly. The
people do not seem to tire Of this entertain
ment, and there are certainly many points
about Il Of a novelty which ercites both our
pleasure aud surprise. We advise all who
would enjoy an evening Of rare pleasure to
go to Wallis.
CAsTzRBURr.-This place Of amusement
opened the week with good houses, and gives
promise Of many attractions In Its line.
There appears to bc no falling of on the
part Of the managerl In his efforts to cater to
the taste Of his patrons, and now that the
city Is full Of strangers, and more still COM
Ing, to witness the Inauguration ceremonies,
we expect to see all our places OF amuse-
ment crowded, and Canterbury among the
rest. twill doubtless get lie share.
METzERorr HALL---The lovers Of the
marvellous and tho strange, and all whose
curiosity prompts them TO soc what Is uneI-
plainable, II not supernatural, win under
stand that the Davenport brothers give their
first ssdnco at Metzcrott Hall on Wednesday
evening.

services of the criminal population shall again

The passion for through business" has been
the bane of too many of our railroads, ss well
as the potent cause for their failure to renc.s!s
back to the communities that constructed them
all the advantages these had right to ex.
pect. Railroad companies have been unable
to comprehend that passenger who only rode
thirty miles might be far more valuable to
them than one who rode three hundred-if, be.
coming, through the liberality Of their arrange.
ments for his accommodation, resident on
their line, he should thus be likely to make
his thirty mile trip regularly, for months and
wears. while his annual fare could be reckoned
as steady source of revenue as the interest
on Government bond. The policy of the most
sagacious railway managers, however, has been
to encourage by every means in their power
this local travel--to induce residents Of the
city to build villages along their line, to draw
out q population that, once established in the
country, became thenceforward regular con.
tributors to the roads prosperity. How far
short of this wise system most of the railroads
leading from this city fall, is fully shown in
the exhibit of the practices with regard to com.
mutation, printed in other columns.

ARMY REFORM.

We have usually found Gen. Garfield OF Ohio
so sound thinker and so wise legislator
that our surprise fully equaled our regret at
finding him reported as saying, last Friday, in
the House, that hf .id
"Many of those men whom the amendment Of last
Winter would strike from the rolls OF the Army have
been sphered into the dnesOf military ne. And It is
quite another thing turn them adrft in their old
with nothing to fan back upon but their poverty and
their good names, with profession, and perhaps no
special aptitude TO enter upOn say that IN equity
there is a reason in this thing, and am wiling 20 stand
by the justice Of that reason"
Here Gen. Garfield, if we understand him,
plants himself distinctly on the proposition
that certain Army officers should be retained
in commission, not because they arc needed in
the service, but because they need the pay
and could hardly get on without it. In other
words the Army is regarded as gigantic
soup-house, to be kept up to the present
standard because certain officers could not
otherwise make a living. go
The injustice of this position is placed in n
strong light when we consider that these Off
GERS were educated at tho Nations expense
not merely provided with an education, but
paid for taking it. When it was finished, TREY
were at perfect liberty not to enter the Army,
had that been their choice. But they chose to
accept the rank and pay of Army officers, and
to enjoy them until they could do better; and
they have not yet done better. Gen. Garfield
seems to think that, because we educated them
at the Nations cost, and have thus far en-
ployed and paid them, we arc in duty bound
to keep doing so, whether we need their ser
vices or not. We dissent. oaI
Understand that we presume the laborer to
be worthy of his hire. We would pay the off
GERS not because they need, but because they
earn, their wages. We.do not know that there
are too many now o. the rolls of the Army,
though we believe there are. But, be they
many or few, We insist that they are to be re-
tanned, if at all, because they are needed,
not because they arc needy. A different rule
would degrade the service aud dishonor those
