The introduction of "Uncle Sam" to the BROOKLYN
pubic, under the auspices OF Mrs. Conway last
evening, was the occasion OF the gathering OF one
OF the finest houses that has greeted dramatic
production In the City OF Churches the fact at
testing the aTdity with which people accept a
drama already recommended to them by previous
successful run. The rendition OF the play rewarded
the interest taken in 1t, the leading part OF Uncle
Sam being sustained by Mr.. George H. Griflths from
the Filth Avenue Theatre and that OF his daughter
Sarah TapplebOt, by Mrs. John Wood, to the salts
faction of critical and refined audience. A de-
cded hit was made by Mr.. Walter Lennox in the
part OF colonel Fliburty, number Of local whim-
sicaltles being introduced in the business OF that
gentleman. The scenery and setting OF the piece
were not inferior TO the general of the per-
1ormance. which, as piece OF dramatic fun and
nonsense. Is likely to keep the stage of the Brook

greeting IL received last evening is an earnest to
that effect.

Ne whose hearts are weary,
Ye whose lives are dreary,
Ye whose souls are filled with longings
for q brighter, happier day
Come and soothe your anguish;
Come no longer languish;
Come and drive hegruesom demon from
your presence far away.
Fill the smoking censor,
Sure no joy intenser
Gains the weary heart while soft the
clouds rise ciroling from the bowl
Here, before my altar,
PASSIONS self must falter,
And the iarring earthly disoords from
your troubled breasts will roll.
Cloudlets round them wreathing,
Fragrant odoys breathing,
Here my worshipers will flock in throngs
and at my glowing shrine; -.
Earth no longer needing,
Every care receding,
They shall fill them with happiness
serene, almost divine.
Every anguish staying
Hunger's pangs allaying,
All earth's weary ones and outcasts shall
in refuge find;
Sages filled with learning,
Wisdom pages turning,
Shall know me in their ..ours of gloom
a blest consoler, kind,
Worn and weary mortals, .
Seek my temples portals:
Come and taste the bliss ethereal that
for you have been prepared.
Warrior, poet, painter,
- (0therjoys are fainter,)
Come, forget your every sorrow, every
grief that you have shared.

Encouraging Prospects for the Spring.
Prices Probably Lower than Now.
reporter OF the HERALD conversed yesterday
with some Of the leading representatives OF the
coal trade of this CITY, The general feeling seemed
to be one OF uneasiness ''What will be the next
movement OF the great coal cOmpaniesf" this was
evidently the question that puzzled them. The off,
GERS Of the leading companies, the Reading, Della
ware and Hudson, Wilkesbarre, Scranton &c, are
very reticent In regard to their future movements.
1t Is claimed that when the Spring prices are pio-
mulgated, they will certainly be lower than they
are at present-unless something unforeseen
should transpire. 1t is impossible to say
precisely what the Spring rates Will be, but
q gentleman who Is prominently connected with
the coal trade told the reporter that Spring prices
rhe cost OF preparing and transporting coal is, OF
course, much greater in Winter than IL Is In Spring,
and this Winter the difficulties OF transportation
have been particularly great" this gentleman SAID
to the HERALDS representative. Every lndica-
ton points to reasonably low figures for home and
manufacturing purposes. l believe the Reading
Company would be wiling to supply any great
establishment In the city during the next hye
years with Goals at price fifty cents less than the
Next Fail the price Of cea will probably be li;te
higher. Some sixty thousand miners have struck
IN England and the price OF coal has advanced
there TO 24s ton, which Is very nearly double the
price OF former years. The South American trade
requires some ten million tons, which have always
been supplied from England, but which will have
now to be obtained from this country. Large con-
tracts have already been made for shipments from
Baltimore, and this WILL undoubtedly, make prices
higher by next Fall.o
