THE WALLACE SIsTERs.-A rousng house
greeted the Wallace Sisters at Music Hall last
evening, and they we'll deserved it, for more
charming trio of maidens cannot easily be
found. Miss Jennie won great favor as Alad-
din, though her best success was in the Village
Maid, where her personal beauty showed to
much advantage. Miss Minnie was very arch
and sprightly in Pekoe, and the petite, golden
haired Maud made decided hitia the Prin-
cess, being recalled at every appearance. The
sisters won their way to the hearts of their au-
dlence, and achieved a success they should be
proud OF. johnson, as the Widow Twanky,
was immense" and excited the risibles of the
spectators to the highest degree Sid Smith
was very amusing and his efforts provoked re-

usually fine, and causes the musical portion of
the entertainment to be very enjoyable. The
costumes are very rich and add much to the
plays.

DETENTION OF MAILs.-The zeal that Post
master Goddard is taking to ascertain where
the cause of the delay of our New York mails
lies, is most commendable. He has just receiv-
| ed long communication from Mr. Cheney, Su-
| perintendent of railway mail service for New
England, in which every case that Judge God
dard minutely called his attention to was motto
ed. During the month of January there were
| ten detentions of the New York mail Five of
| these were due to the detention of trains west
of Boston by storms by which the aggregate
time the mails were behiud was Is II hours
The other five cases were due to the careless
ness and stupidity of men employed by the Pos
tai service in Boston. Three of these cases
were traced to the stupidity of the driver of the
express wagon carrying the mails to the Eas-
tern Railroad depot. The detention of the let
ter mail on one occasion was due to the Port
land box being buried up in the Boston Office
1t appears that two-thirds of the delay, amount
ing to 81 IL hours on the aggregate, has been
due to Boston carelessness. Judge Goddard
has suggested the propriety Of having the Eas-
tern mails taken direct from the Western cars
to the Eastern Railroad depot, instead of stop
ping at the Boston post-office. Mr.. Cheney re-
plies that this arrangement will require new
contract, which he will recommend if the an
noyance continues. Mr.. Cheney has promptly
looked after the matter and will do all in his
power to remove this serious delay He pleads
that the confusion growing out Of the fire has
something to do with the matter The delay of
Thursday was due to the fact that the baggage
master of the Eastern Railroad did not deliver
the mails on the arrival of the train, as it is his
duty, and that the route agent found them just
as the car was starting and discharged as much
of it as was possible. He has orders to stop
the train to deliver the mails. 1t need not be
added that Judge Goddard is doing his utmost
to remedy an annoyance that there is no real
reason for.
