The MUsEUM.-''Ted Murphy" in sour Ilish
Cousin" is one of those parts in which Mr..
Calder attempts to make horse-play take the
place of humor, and naturally enough fails In
certain kinds of characters like 'Sam Ger
ridge" in "Caste," or ''Salem Scrdder," in the
"Octoroon," for example, he is very happy.
But last night he was not in his element Of
course his rendition was amusing in way, and
provoked the risbles of his audience. The
support was generally good, Miss Waldron's
"Alice Devereux" was well done, the suen
haughtiness of that man-hater being rendered
to the life. Miss Ulmer was vivacious and
amusing as ''Miss De Murfe," Mrs. Preston
was good ''Ph@be Tangle," and Miss Graham
very pretty perkins, Mr.. Norris quite
spoiled "Paul Weldon" by his lack of spirit in
the first act and his hysterical performance in
the third. Mr.. Sutherland was an excellent
"Foxglove." Mr.. FL. D. Gale, the new walk
ing gentleman, had an eccentric comedy part
not at all in his line, in which he did not sue
coed in making himself at home. Mr.. G. T.
Ulmer as ''Mr. Grace made decided hit,
personating that useful society man and direc-
tor of fashionable amusements admirably we'll
and making subordinate part one of the most
pleasing features of the play. Mr.. Barton as
"De Mur6e,'' deserves word of commeuda-
tion.
"Our Irish Cousin will be repeated this even
ing. Tomorrow evening Mr.. Calder takes a
benefit. On the occasion Miss Sophie Miles
and Miss Ally Chippendale will appear.

day. The following is another version:
Mrs. Mary Brown came all the way from Bos-
ton to have her husband arrested for bgamy,
and swore out warrant before Justice Walsh.
Officer Byron of Brooklyn, took him into cas-
tody. On the 18th of June, 1867, she and
Michael were married in Portland, Me. He
was her second husband; she was his first wife.
For two years they lived in the city of their
courtship and marriage, and two children were
born to them. Moving to Boston he suddenly
deserted her. 1t was one Saturday night, and
he would 90 to the theatre. II was three years
He was penitent and promised reform. His
words were full Of promise for the future, aud
she received back her erring husband
In his penitential mood he admitted that he
had married in Brooklyn. Subsequently he re-
turned to Brooklyn again and lived with his
him arrested. He told Mrs. Brown that he had
never married her at all. She was indignant,
and pulled copy OF the marriage certificate
from her pocket, the certificate of burial of
their children in Dorchester Cemetery, and the
receipted bills of the livery keeper who had fur
nished the hacks for that sad occasion. The
prisoner was unmoved by all these tokens, and
pleading not guilty to the charge, was sent to
