Charlotte Cushmana

The Chicago Tribune, of last Sunday, says
of Miss Charlotte Cushman, who will make
her debut at the Varieties Theatre on the
twentieth instant:
Crowded houses have been the unvaryipg
rule AT McVicker's Theatre during the past
week, and Chicago has done herself tie
credit of showing most enthusiastic ap-
probation of Miss Cushman as an artist
whose peer is not likely to be soon seen
again. For this week, the last of her en-
gagement, and probably the last time she
will ever be seen on a stage in Chicago,
Miss Cushman will appear as Neg Aes-rties
iu "Gny Mannering" on Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday nights. Owing
to the unfavorable weather which has pre-
vailed during the first half of the week in
which this play was given, large numbers
were prevented from witnessing her won
derful impersOnation of the grand old
gipsey, and. in response to many requests.
the piece will be revived.

The New York Times SAYS:

We are informed that President Grant
yesterday went to the unnecessary trouble
of explaining the recent action of the gov
ernment in the matter of the Sandwich
islands. 1t seems that the government had
already sent vessel to give the defunct
Kamehameba a sea voyage for his health
project that vas interrupted by his death.
A second was then sent to help the first Look
after whatever might turn up at Honolulu,
and, by s curious coincidence, General
Schotield was authorized, for the benefit Of
his health, to accompany this second vessel.
Between the two commanders and the Cen
eral, and the indefinite number Of shr' ID
Yankees, with indefinite number of Kan
aka wives, who are intensely Interested III
the prosperity of the island, it is to be hoped
that American interests in that region can
be fairly attended to.
