now upon the stage whose genius and fame
have gained firm hold upon the Charleston
public. Long before the curtain rose last
| night the Academy presented most unusual
and insplriling scene. The house was literally
filed; very many of the audience being COM
PEELED 10 content themselves with standing
room.
We have already said that, In our view,
Janauschek's masterpiece Is the powerful role
of deborah" The Jewish maiden. The repn.
talion she has gained in this part has attract
ed numbers who failed 10 see the play on the
occasion OF her last visit to Charleston; but,
| high as were their expectations, they were
hardly prepared to behold so vivid picture
of the intensity OF womaa's love and hate.
Prior to the casting away of her love by
Joseph" her whole being seemed aglow
with the fervor of It's passion. The trans
ilion from the tenderness of the afi-
anced to the bitter rage and scorn
of the discarded daughter Of Israel was a ter
rlble scene, which Janauschek Is peculiarly
adapted to portray. When she encounters
Joseph" In the graveyard, and hurls upon
him the seething, scorchlng curses that burst
trom her maddened soul, she rises TO the
lof,lest summit of dramatic grandeur. To
have seen Janauschek as Deborah, ls thlHg
to be remembered. By particular request this
great drama will be repeated on the occasion
of her benefit on Friday night.
Tonight Janauschek appears In the double
role of Lady Dedock and Hortense, In the de-
llghtful stage adaptation Of Dlckens's Bleak
House, entitled "Chesney Wold."
The Masked Ball OF the Wagner Ar
tnlery.
The grand bal me2que given by the Wagner
Artillery Club last night filed Hibernian Hall.
A picturesque assemblage OF varied and
gorgeous costumes, brilliant illumination, and
lively music gave completeness to the enter
lainment. Hundreds of happy faces were hid
beneath the masks, and many head aches
to-day from The hearty and frequent laughter
of the past evening. The representative OF
THE NEWS had barely crossed the Threshold
when couple OF All Sins COM

nearly wheedled him out OF his ticket Of ad-
mission. On entering the grand saloon he
found himself In Q whirling throng OF dan
that festooned the ceilings they, not less gay
and variegated, swung and crcled In mazy
order. BewiIdered he stood, until the Duke
Of Buckingham, in one of his gayest moods,
drew him into q sheltered nook, whence he
singled ont the novelties of the occasion.
Ubiquitous Uncle Sam was spreading his

many nstionallties; Turks, Americana, Lap

Englisbmen and Indians. 4 pair oil sturdy
convicts too, one with stately duchess upon
his arm In place OF ball and chain. A diminu-
live Prusslan soldier, an underszed military

strange slghts-a venerable friar telling his
beads while pattering feet were falling like
drops OF rain around him. A man of letters
was doing an illiterate son Of old Vlrginny to
perfection; an Oxford Don followed In tow Of a
consolidated belle that shone upon him with
crystalline delight Gipsles crossed hands
with silver, and many an Empress Josephine
