How Charlotte Cusbman Plays Meg
MeTTilics Now.

Prom the New York Tribune.
II would be idle to write the worn
words Of description or the faded phrases
Of compliment, Miss Cushman acted
Meg Merrilies upon this occasion in such
q way as to make US forget that we had
seen 1t before, and feel only that we were
now seeing 1t for the first time. In the
glory Of her youth she was never more
powerful than when, upon this mo.
morable night, she burst into the gloomy
woodland and stood transhgured before
uI-a living monument OF frenzled sus.
pCnse and regal misery. Her figure
lowered; her very soul seemed 10 dilate;
years OF suffering were written
on her CountenanCe; world Of
love and Of prophetic hope blazed
from her eyes; every muscle OF her body
seemed hardened into marble by the trG.
mendous tension Of excitement under
which she leaped into the character; her
presence was literally inspired, and when
she spoke, the nameless quality Of anguish
and pAthos In her voice thrilled every
chord OF every heart in the vast Assem-.
blsge that saw this wonder and heard
this music. Genius In the art OF acting
can do no more than wns done by Char
lotte Cushman in that supreme moment.
At the end Of the scene the stormy up.
plause OF multitude excited beyond all
limits oi discretion almost shook the
bullding-till the actress came back upon
the stage to look one moment upon her
triumph, and calm with her smile this
raging sea OF admiration.

The Recent Corner in the Barley
Market.

One oi the most successful "corners"
ever engineered and carried through in
Chicago-that city Of corneE-iS the re.
cent corner in the Barley market The
hero Of the affair Is ALEXANDER GRDDEs,
who Is now In consequence the hero Of
the hour. The story Of Mr.. GEDDEs' mode
OF stretching barleycorns from an inch to
an ell Is as follows The September pur'
chases Of barley for October delivery
were almost entirely monopollzed by Mr..
GRDDEs, for which he paid from 05c
to 81 05 per bushel. II continued its
upward tendency until ten days ago,
when II reached one dollar and eighteen
and one.half cents. Here he offered to
settle with the "bears," but they refused,
thinking to "break" tho market. But the
gentleman had had too much experience
in "corners" 10 permit this, 30 he took
measures which were extraordinary for
single individual who had numerous
strong opponents tofight. Knowing that
he could get financial backing to almost
any figure, he proceeded to buy every
bushel Of barley shipped into Chicago, At
current rates. From fifty to seventy car
loads were daily poured into Mr.. GEDDEs'
gigantic garners, at cost, for ten days
purchase, OF nearly half q million Of dol
lars. Last Saturday was delivery day
the "bears" had completely failed to break
the market, settlement must be made, and
GEDDEs owned all the barley in Chicago.
Sales commenced, went off lively, and at
three o'clock Saturday afternoon all but
twenty thousand bushels had been closed
out at from one dollar and thirty cents 10
one dollar and thirty.hvc cents per bushel,
resulting in a net gain to MIR. GRDDEs OF
more than seventy thousand dollars,
