Charlotte Cushman as Lady Macbeth.
A onANp pnAMAr1o pERFoRMANoE.

GRAND DRAMATIC PERFORMANCE.
The Philadelphia Bulletin reviews elaborately,
and in terms Of high praise, the performance of
Lady Macbeth, by Charlotte Cushman. 1t says:
''Miss Cushman presents her in the intensest
form from the very first. As she reads the let
ter containing the prophecy of the witches, she
expresses most eloquently her fierce determine
ton to achieve it's fulflment. When the mes
senger enters TO announce "Dunoan's" approach,
it is with singular felicity that she shows, with
almost a scream Of exultaton, the swiftness of
her resolve to use this apt visit for her dred-
full purposes. The frantic joy that flashes out
for a moment is followed by the quieter but
equally intense passage in which she inyokes
the spirit to nerve her to perform the work up
on which she has resolved. When Macbeth"
enters her manner changes again, as, with q
suavity which has no tenderness in it, she warns
into life the guilty conception which has already
lodged in his mind, but needs quickeuing before
it can impel to crime
Altogether. this must be regarded as one Of
| the most remarkable representations that has
| ever been given upon the American stage. 1t
holds, indeed, the very foremost place, for it is
Miss Cushmans very best effort, and as she
| stands Alone among women who interpret Eng
/ lish DRAMA as an artist whose claims to pre-
eminepoe are not disputed, this personation oan
hardly be equaled. We like it better than
| Queen Katherins;" not because it is superior
i as work of art, but because the character APP
| pears in a nobler drama, and is itself of kind
that excites a profounder and more terrible
interest"

KENTUoKIAN OF COMPROMISE TIMEs-HIs MEM
oms JUST PUBLISHED.
The daughter of John j. Crittenden has edited
his Life and Correspondence, and ]. b. Lip
pincott Il Co. have just published the volume
There is, of course, great mass OF letters to
and from Clay, Webster, Taylor Clayton, and
the other great Whig leaders, making it valua-
BILE contribution to our National library of history
and biography. The Boston Globe, reviewing
the book, says
''In glancing through the volume, we are con-
tinually impressed with the fact that Crittenden
was second-rate statesman. He had no wide
grasp and intelligent comprehension of facts
such as Clay showed in pushing through Con-
gress his last Compromise, that of 1850. When
the great Southern Rebellion lifted its head he
depended on traditions, and indicated no grand
original grasp OF the facts of the situation
His famous Compromise, which practically de-
livered the North over to the South as bond
slave forever, was too palpably one-sided to de.
ceive single opponent OF Slavery. Neither
Webster nor Clay, nor, we think, Calhoun,
would have suggested such " Compromise /;
for it was Compromise" which did not con-
ciliate any class in the North, but arrayed
against it the body of all classes. Mr.. Critten-
den's motive was pure but his scheme lacked
all the essential qualities of mind which enter
into craftsmanship of the first class. In 1850
Clay knew that some of the most prominent
politicians Of the South were as eager for dis
union as they were in 1860. He beat them in a
fair fight. Crittenden, following Clay o4ly sue
ceeded in giving his opponents an additional
argument for the secession he deplored. When
the inevitable war came, he obstnately resisted
almost every measure which was calculated to
make our side and his side victorious. Nobody
ever questioned his motives everybody who
had the slightest perception Of the fact, ques-
| toned his wisdom.
"A And yet he was good man and a good pa
triot though Enthusiastically statesman Of the
second rank. The interesting correspondence
Of the volume before us, shows that he was.
more or less, the instrument of larger minds
| than his own"

Mt Vesuyius.

THE MOST ACTIVE VOLCANO OF EUROPE.
Mount yesuvius is the only active volcano of
any account on the European continent. A
mere pimple on the face of the earth as COM
pared with Etna, its eruptions have yet been at
tended with vastly greater loss of life and prop
erty. Its base, including that of Monte Somma,
covers an area Of about eight miles. The noun
tain itself rises from level and luxuriant plain
to height of 9948 feet above the level of the
sea. The lower portion is covered with stones
and soorig, the cone being formed OF black
stones rising up nearly $500 feet. The summit
of the cone is 1000 feet in diameter, the crater
being Eve hundred feet less with depth of five
hundred feet. The first eruption Of which we
have any authentic account, occurred in the
wear A. ID. 70. This was heralded by an earth
quake sixteen years earlier. 1t was during this
eruption that the cities of Stabie, Heroulaneum
and Pompeii were destroyed. For nearly nine
hundred years after the people rested secure
and the fate of the ancient cities was almost
| forgotten. Then came the terrible discharge oi
liquid lava in 1896. From that time until the
| present there have been at least dozen erup-
tions, some of them violent in their nature, but
none of them equalling In their ruinous effects
| the first one mentioned.

The Loan A. soeiaIions - Expe-ience of Nine
Years N the Delaware.

The most OF our Building and Loan Associa-
tions are comparatively young, three fourths Of
them having been established at various peri
ods, since the revival of business at the close of
the War One Of the old ones, however, the
Delaware Loan, has just made its annual report,
having closedits ninth year with the end of April.
The experience of this Association if it were
proper to take it as fair average Of all, would
go to show that they will require nearly eleven
years to come to par, but as the premiums paid
for loans, in the Delaware, during the War, and
Immediately afterward, were very small, this is
not fair criterion for those established since
1866.
Tho present value Of the old shares in the Della
ware is $l69 O3 Of which 410s has been paid in, the
balance being the accumulation Of the nine years.
Tie advance, last year was $780, adding &21.2O to
the whole value per share. At the same rate, it
would take about twenty-one months more to
reach the par of $780,
The number of shareholders is 1856, of whom
100 are borrowers Premiums, during the past
year, have run down to very low figures. The
highest paid was S19 the lowest Il, and the
average reached but 219-1OO.
Once more, the intolerable burden of the State
tax appears. The advanced age Of this Loan
and the large amount Of its mortgages, make
its taxation heavy, The sum paid for this ac-
count, during the year, reached $6O5.s9, while
all the other expenses, including salaries, were
but S2431g
