playgosrs this week by his grand performance
of "SAmson," very admirable play. founded on
the Bible story, Ahd done for the first time In
Ametica In Its way the performance was quite
as fine as the "othello," although the passion
ate opportunities OF the latter part arc go much
the greatest as TO make itmors impressive. Bot
HalvIn did wonders with the Strong Man, and
managed to 80 put him before the audience as to
ill the full measUrs OF what We all admit TO be .
high ideal. That In no compliment but an exact
truth. 1t was wonderful, 1t was little short OF
marVellous-tp see how the actor conveyed with
opt effort ror seeming sffort 1.-The idea Of super-
natural strength It did not seem imp poesible
that he should have done what Was claimed for
him, and his effects were produced without
trickery mannerison, or rant. At one
poipt indeed he picked one Of his
fellow actors up and carried him
on the stage on his shoulder, but the exhibition
wss not really necessary. for he continually con-
veyed the impression of an ability to perform
much greater feats il he 30 chose, and this was
but the most apparent point of the performance.
The rapt and inspired side Of the character he
portrayed in g manner that was simply perfec.
top. His love for De- lah; his rage when he
realizes he has been deceived. his agony and
wretchedness when, blinded and shorn, he fears
the Lord has deserted him; the wonderful con-
seriousness of returning strength ; and the awak-
ened knowledge that he has once more the pow
er of confounding the idolators-oppressor OF
the chosen people,-all these vital points were
given in q superb and perfect manner. This is
a performance that no church member should
fall to sector it gives better ideas of those
misty times than all books and all speculation.

[From the Advertiser, Nov. al
Our contemporary cannot be- ignorant that a
certain set of men in the Republican party
dominate and rule it. That whatever project
these men advocate is put through Councils, ii
pressed upon the Legislature. or triumphs in
conventions. The Chairman Of the finance Com
