Lost Children.

IN the course Of a year more than 1000
cases of lost children are reported to the
police. A portion of these, of course, do
not require an extensive hunt, but the
children return in few days, are found
with friends or have merely gone to
iodging-houses. Many of these cases,
however, are never brought to light;
what becomes of the children is never
known; and yet, in majority of in
stances, they are held in families in the
city, perhaps no more than a half-hour's
walk from their own homes. Not few
recoveries are made independently of
me efforts of the detectives, by mere &C.
cldent, or through the agency of some
one OF the many institutions which are
devoted to the rescue of poor and orphan
children from the wretchedness of their

Under the GssIight The Hidden

IN accordance with the expectation Of
all, the wonderful play of Under the
Gaslight'' brought out very large aud
apprecative audience last night. The
pl " was evidently performed according
to the idea which peryadcd the minds Of
the entire assembly, else the many dem
onstrations of approval that were show
cred upon the actors would not have
found vent in the noisy clapping of hands
and stamping of feet which the audience
so frequently INDUCED in. Mr.. lIanchett,
the manager OF the troupe. proved, in tie
distribution of the characters in the play
among his people, how perfectly he un-
dcr-tands the ability with which each is
endowed. for it seemed that they were
made to ill the places assigned them, so
truly did they enact them.
The acting of Miss Price was just what

tied and effective. To say that she added

made To it. which now places ii par eX-

then, for their reputation in their line is

tors of the negro character that we have
ever seen. Their comicalities kept the ali-

Thos. B. Dixon make the very best quar-

brought to justice. Last Friday, Burger,
