THR sHAKEsPE4RIAN REH1nAL.
A Hearty Welcome to unius Brutus
Rooth Mt tho Academy: Of. Music

The orthodox taste of the Charleston public
yindicated itself last evening in the crowded
house which greeted Mr.. ]. B. Booths first
appearance here as Hamlet. If sympathy Tor
the actors name and nativity, however, was
| the attracting power by which the large audi
ence had been assembled, a very little expe'
rience proved that there was quite enough IN
his own personality to justify and confirm nls
| welcome. Mr.. Booth is more than mdgn1
! non,inis umbra, he Is a iae and polished anu,
in some respects, a great actor. In the open
ing scenes Of the play, there was a perceptlo!e
lack of force and power hardly redeemed by
| the interviews with the Ghost; but, from the
beginning of the second act, 1.-THE cunning Oh
| the scene' was fully caught and expressed,
and step by step, from this point to the eno'
the actor won upon the ~sympathies
of his hearers. The great scene OF Mr..
Booths performance last night was the culmi-
| patton and climax of the play-scene; the weak
| est having regard TO the subtle expression Of
| fancy and feeling with which 1t Is charged,
was the grave-digging scene. We regret that
the lateness of the hour prevents a more de-
! tailed criticism. 1t is, perhaps, sufficient TO
say in brief that, as a reader and actor of
!! Shakespeare, Mr.. Booth is far ahead compare
| lively of any performer who has visited Charles
ton since the war, and from this comparison
we do not omit Forrest, except, perhaps, in
King Lear.
The support was good, especially so In the
case Of Ophelia and Horatio. Mr.. shewell
does not make a perfect Ghost, and MIR.
Meeker's Polonious would have been much
| more effective If he had known bis part bet
ter. As 1t was, however, the subordinate ln-
terests of the play were not in~adequately sus-
| tanned. Mr.. Booth was called before tie
curtain at the close of the play and was
vehemently applauded.
Tonight will be given the shakespearlan
comedy much Ado About Nothing"

E. PLAT, Esq.-This gentleman, long and
favorably known in Charleston as one Of the
members Of the firm of George.W. Williams g.
Co., has connected himself with the Equity
Lite Assurance Society of New York, and will
act as their general agent for North Georgia,
with headquarters in Atlanta. We know of no
one better suited to represent the company In
that part Of the country than MIR. Plat. He
received his first mercantile training In Geor-
gia; and when in early manhood he came to
this city, he had superior facilities for keeping
up and greatly charging his acquaintance
with the people of Georgia, both through the
extensive connections his house had with that
State, and by his frequent business tours
through the length and breadth of her domain.
Mr. Plat is a gentleman of good address, great
energy and thorough business capacity-an
acquisition to any house or Institution; and
when we state that we regret his removal
from Charleston, we mean every word We say.
After saying so much, it is Of course needless
for us to commend him heartily to the good
graces Of our friends in Georgia.

TIE EIGHT-IIouR STRIKES IN New Y0RK-
GENERAL ACCESSION TO THE DEMANDs.-1he
cIght-hour movement. which was begun in
New York last week 10y the strike of the
Journeymcn carpenters, followed by the
brcklayers. has since extended TO large
number Of trades. The spring-buildi,g con-
tracts, which had been generally entered
into prior to the movement, compelled .ac-
IuioSccnce in the demand of the men by the
building contractors, some Of whom will be
involved in losses in consequence. On Mon
day the piano-!nakcrs struck, the employers
refusing to yield the two hours work. The
uphOlstcrcrs and cabinct-makers, who had
struck previously, were joined by the whole
Woodworking fraternity, including the
wood.turners, moulders, saw-millcrs, en-
graycrS, and planners. Most of the employ
ing cabinct-makcrs yielded, and on Mon
day. out OF fourteen thousand hands engaged
in the cght-hour movement, all but two thou
sand were at work on that basis. Dispatches
from Boston aud Philadelphia stated that
all their members there "were out" and
delegations were sent to euch OF those cities
with offers of assistance, etc. Other trades
which have joined the movement are the
wh.clwriShtS and .hllcksmittls, stone-cutters
Gnd quarrymrn, and clothing cutters. 1t is
G .timatcd that 10000 men in all are engaged

which are conduct ing their work on the

Guided to defer action. The Brooklyn Com

Bold ROBBERY OF MERCHANTS SAFE
Yesterday forenoon Mr.. b. G. Bib, of the
firm of Bibb & Co., stove dealers, Light
street, was sitting in the fore part of his
store, when a young NAH of good appear
ance and address entered and asked the
price of steam-boiler which stood on the
sidewalk outside the store. He talked OF
buying number of them g for Chicago
and drew Mr.. Bib out to the sidewalk,
taking his attention away from the business
Office, in rear Of the store. Mr.. Bib after
wards remembered that his interlocutor kept
a lookout on that quarter. The bookkeeper
and other employees were out at the time.
After q few minutes talk the young man
left, proposing to '"call again.; which 1t is
probable he will not do, for OH entering the
office Mr.. Bibb found that during his alb
sence confederate of the young man had
priced open the two cash drawers of the
safe, the iron doors of which had stood open.
One drawer contained private letters, which
were undisturbed, while in the other there
was, very fortunately, only small sum (sone
S12) in money, beside postage stamps, etc,
and two protested notes, with which the rob
Der had made of. Baltimore Sun. ~ 49,

TRAVEL ANNOYANCEs--CiRABBING STATS.
The New York Times notes the disposition
of many selfish people on railroad trains to
"grab" all the seats they can as a serious
nuisance. It admits, of course, the right;of
any individual to look out for bis own IN
terest, but---sellishness is too mild a term for
this practice--in a multitude Of eases (the
editor says) it is downright dishonesty. For
a man and his wife, when other passengers
are going from ear to car looking for accom-
mediation, to turn the back of a seat and put
4 couple of valiscs in such position as to
give the idea that they belong to persons
who have taken tue places and will be back
in few minutes, is, without any figure CT
speech, a fraud Of which respectable people
ought to be ashamed. 1t is suggested that
something might be done ny railroad COM
panies towards mitigating il they cannot en-,
tireiy prevent the evil. A man should be
appointed whose duty it should be to superil-
tend the seating of passengers Mt the starting
of each train. Such an individual should
make It his business to prevent the turning
Of seat-backs whenever it was likely to In
tcrfere with the rights OF passengers, and
should especially STE to it that actual passen-
gers should not notbe crowded out fpaces
by bogus ones.
