Drdnaatic-Forrest as King Lear-The Gentle
Lucille Western-Society for Prevention of
Cruelty to Anin,dls-Railroad Bill and the
trisky Bdtkins.
Boston, March 20, 1872.
Mr.. Forrest has been playing King Lear this
week at the Globe. He seems to havel lost none
of that ancient vigor that used to send us home
with hot head to our youthful couch, to dream
of raving kings, bloody Metamoras and fierce
gladiators. Then we gazed fearfully at the big
dagger; now we smile upon it, Then the slaugh-
tered actors fell as the play naturally suggest
ed; now we see in the "order of their going"
the forecast of judicious manager. Grade of
talentdetermines priority of death. The ssghosts
of their ancestors wait most impatiently for
the disguised supers and scene-shifters. Then
we pitied their melancholy death; now we feel
rather grateful to the bloody chief for his re-
morseless haste. Time certainly has given Mr..
Forrest a nicer touch in rendering the finer feel
ings and better discrimination in passion
Our blood warns none the less but we sleep
better.
Lucille Western is at the st. James, in East
Lynne. Magnolia is occupying the stage at the
Museum. 1t is the Quadroon with variations,
but the usual characteristics of that class of
plays, to wit: A Mississippi steamboat scene.

A New On RAILRoAD.-The proposed rail
road to connect Buffalo to the Pennsylvania oil
districts seems likely to be built, notwithstand-
ing the apparent defeat of the Southern I'm
provement Company's monopoly. The oil pro-
prietors and refners in the neighborhood of Ii
tusville are determined to make any future COM
binations to Cypress their business impossible.
and the people of Buffalo, jamestown and 9th
er towns in this State on the line of the pro-
posed railroad give them substantial encourage
ement. The new company has been chartered
in this State, and the Pennsylvania section will
probably be built under the general railroad
law of the State.
The railroad corporations interested in the oil
traffic have made great efforts to prevent the
success of this plan They have made very ia
vorable promises for the future but the oil deal
ers are not disposed to trust them. They have
tried to prejudice the business men of Buffalo
and jamestown against the enterprise, but
both places have promised large subscriptions.
Buffalo will probably advance one million dol
lars; jamestown three or four hundred thous-
and dollars, and the Titusville proprietors half
a million dollars. The proposed route from Ii
tusville to jamestown, and thence to Buffalo,
on direct line is little more than one hun
bred miles long.
The Importance of this road to Buffalo, as
we'll as to oil dealers everywhere, will hasten
its construction, and it's completion is promised
in less than two years-N Y. Post

quently held and the work is going on vigor-
ously. Rumshops are stopping business and
several buildings hitherto used for that pur-
pose are being converted into dwelling houses
and changed into shops for the sale of other
commodities. The movement seems to have
started nearly spontaneously. Two or three
leading citizens who had become addicted to
excessive. use Of strong drink talked the mat
ter over with each other and concluded that
they were going to the. bad. Being intelli-
gent men they were mot pleased with the sit
uation and set actively to..work to remedy it.
Their example was contagious, meetings were
held, and the result reminds one of the
history of the Washingtonian times. A sim
liar agitation exists in Hallowell and Gardi-
ner. We may hope it will extend over the
State and preclude the necessity of the en-
forcement OF the extreme legislation of last
winter. We trust our Sheriffs will not hasten
Upon any violent execution of the law and
thus excite angry feelings and antagonism
against the temperance reform, when such

THOSE politicians who seek to stop the de-
cline of decaying party by the desperate ex-
pedient of taking their candidate from the op-
posite party had better look at the lessons of
history. At the fifth presidential election, in
1904, Mr. Jefferson was reelected by 1852 votes,
to IA for Charles Cotesworth Pinckney, the
Federal candidate; having the entire electoral
vote of all the States but Connecticut and Della
ware: At the sixth election, in 1908, Mr.. Mad
lson had 122 votes to Pinckney's AZ. In the
seventh in 1872, the Federal party took their
candidate, De Witt Clinton, from the dominant
party, he being disaffected on some matter of
poncy, appointments, or the like By this the
opposition vote was run up to 80, carrying the
Connecticut Rhode Island, New York, New
Jersey, and Delaware with nearly half of Ma
ryiand But the effect was only transient; for
AZ the next election, in 1916, there were only "a
electoral votes for Rufus King, the Federal
candldate pure and simple, to 1888 for Mr.. Mum
roe; And at the ninth election. in 1870 tbe
Federal party abandoned the STRUGGLE. NOT even
naming candidate; and SO dissolved and dis
appeared. When party, once in the ascend-
ant, is too far gone to furnish a candidate of
its own, it is past help, and the sooner if dis.
solves itself the better for the Countrywide

Judgment. induced perhaps by iil-healtn anu
perhaps by offended pride. PERSONAL Vanity
is a weakness to which the MASSACHUSETTS
Senator's noble intellect has become too
much subject in his later years, and some
fancied slight from Gen. Grant has evidently
provoked him to enter upon course OF I'M
discriminating hostility which it is difficult TO
pursue with consistency or entire self-respect.
Nothing could be more surprising than to
see A Senator. who boldly made charges OF
the gravest character against the admlnlstra-
ton. suddenly disclose an incredible degree OF
reluctance when called upon to sustain his
charges by proofs. In the Senate nothing
could exceed Mr.. Summers courage and di-
rectness, but when invited to testify before
the committee his mind was filled with a
thousand misgivings and he positively de-
clined. When served with a subpoena in due
form he at length appeared, but still under
protest. He claimed that his privilege as a
Senator ought to protect him. Any shelter
was not disdained that promised relief from
the troublesome questions of the committee
which, he well knew, would show that he
had determined arbitrarily to attack the adj
ministration and had proceeded to do so,
using very little care in selecting his subject.
He disliked the composition of the commit
tee. He objected to the administration of
the oath, and, throughout the examination,
he availed himself of every possible pretext
to avoid answering his interrogators. Such
exhibitions are not infrequent in courts of
justice, where defendant in criminal pros
ecution may often find it necessary to exclude
all the evidence possible. But that a United
States Senator, in an investigation set on
foot partly through his own efforts, should
succeed in putting himself in the position of a
defendant, and show like reluctance to tell
his story, is unaccountable. Mr. Sumner
seemed to reach the conclusion, necessarily
through his own consciousness of the weak
ness or difficulty of his position, that he was
the subject of the investigation and that he,
and not the administration, was placed in
danger of disgrace by the inquiry for which,
at the outset, he was so eager.
We predict that the failure of both Schurz
and Sumner to fasten upon the administra-
ton any of the charges that they SO conf
IDENTIFY made, will cause those gentlemen and
their associates to abstain from instigating
any more investigations. Up to the present
time their regulations have suffered there
from far more than that of Gen. Grant.

Poor Fellow.

The cause of woman's rights has received a
terrible blow. The Boston Transcript knows
an Innocent Freshman, in college where la
dies are admitted, whose life has been rem
dsred miserable because he has been $50
hazed' by the Sophomore of the gentler sex I!
'Fhe New York Tribune, paper that syste-
matically misrepresents the position of the
women suffrage advocates very much as it
Ices the administration, triumphantly exhib-
its this isolated example of girlish folly as a
conclusive proof that the admission of women
to the higher grade of educational institutions
has tailed to humanize and civilize academic
society as was anticipated. The induction OF
facts is rather small for so sweeping gener
alization, to be sure, but it answers the pur-
pose. The opinion of the Cornell professors
that the presence of three ladies in their
class rooms has an appreciate effect in i'm
proving the conduct of the young men, would
probably have little weight with the Tribune.
AT Colby University in this State the effect of
the admission of women has been so good as
to silence all opposition on the part of men,
bers of the faculty and students who were at
first opposed to it. But all these authorities
will have little weight with unbeievers who
can point to Freshman hazed by the Iasses.
Nonsense ten to one the little hypocrite
liked it!
