VARIETY DRAMArIC CLUB.

The Academy of Music was filed to over
flowing last night by . very attractive audi
ence, who had come to witness the first ap-
pearance Of the Variety Dramatic Club in their
series of 1875. The play chosen was an
American comedy, in three acts, by L. J. Hol-
lenius, and is entitled Dollars and Cents !"
The play itself is species of satire on the
thirst for gold which seems to have taken pos
session of the minds of the modern world.
It is clever acting play, but has little
title to q high rank am ong modern dramas
The author makes his dialogues too long and
explanatory, and thus mars the beauty of the
action introduced.
The leading part in the drama is John
Fairplay, young merchant, who, not being
blessed with surplus amount Of this worlds
goods, finds many difficulties in his path to
love and ambition. He is misunderstood and
badly treated at first, but comes out victori
GUS in the end.
Mr.. Llambias. the gentleman who acted
the part did very well indeed, and
deserves credit for his Interpretation. Mr..
s. ]. Hart, in the comedy part of Montague
Pymple4 gave us by far the best piece Of
acting seen in the entire performance.
Despite Q little nervousness in his style Of
acting, this gentleman deserves position
among our leading amateurs There is in his
renditions an evidence of careful study and
an excellent appreciation Of the niceties Of
the characters he assumes.
Mr.. John n. Conway as VIM. Nickelbury
made very clever old man and bore well his
share Of the evenings performance. The
character of Philip Sharpe was very neatly
acted by Mr.. Max Stern, who seemed decidedly
cup" in all the ways of the modern financier.
The rest of the gentlemen all acted well their
parts, and aided materially in the success Of
the play.
We are glad to welcome Miss Amelia Waugh
back to our city. This lady played last sum-
mer with the Variety and Southern clubs, and
gave rs many very excellent bits of acting.
She spent last winter at the Troy Opera
House, and has returned to this city under
engagement to the Variety Club.
Miss Waugh possesses great dramatic abili
ty, and has frequently, during her engage
ments in this city, given us many really splen-
did Characterization. The character of Eve
lyn Nickelbury, which she played last night,
although not giving her fair opportunity to
display her real strength, was made most
enjoyable part through her careful acting.
We hope soon to see her to better advantage.
As an entirety, the first performance Of the
Variety Dramatic Club this Sea- on was de-
cidedly success.

Cumberland Presbyterian and the Reformed
NJ Stnart Robinson offered resolution
chat q COMMITTEES be appointed TO communi.
cate with other Presbyterian cnurcnee soout
the international Assembly OF Presbyterians
to meet in London next July, ana % oonsla Is
assembly.
Dr. Girardeau opposed the resolution, and
made quite lengthy speech.
He thought this assembly should not
take any part in an assembly convened
Tor the organization of Confederation of the
Presbyterian Churches. The new organiza-
fion would undoubtedly exercise moral ad-
visory and executive power over the various
churches to the usurpation Of their individual
powers.
organization of body which may do things
CONTRARY to true principles of the Southern
Presbyterian Church, and thus become IN
part responsible for such unorthodox pro
ceedings. He believed that by entering the
confederation along with the Northern Pres
byterians the assembly would virtually 60
back on their late action in reference to ira
ternal relations with that church. 80
Several speeches we're made IN favor OF tne
resolution, the principal one OF wnicn vas
delivered bv DR.. Murkland, who said that
overtnres had been received from four Of the
principal presbyteries Of the church favoring
The sending of delegates, and he thought they
should receive proper consi deration.
He believed the Assemblies were not infal-
l;hla and that an International Assembly,
composed of most learned men in the diff.r
emit churches would be less likely to commit
follies and errors than any assembly re. re-
senting only members Of one church. He be-
lieved in the interchange Of opinion and
thought that the Southern Pfesbyterians
should not be behind in the great work Of
concentrating the unity of the Church OF
God.
He desired to be more closely united with
the Presbyterian Churches Of Eogland, Scot
land, Ireland. Holland, France and Canada.
Reports from the Committees on Systematic
Benevolence and Sunday Schools were re-
ceived, read and adopted.

The assemblage was called to order by Judge
Irving Halsey, who introduced Hon. Hosea
Townsend, the orator Of the day, who made
an eloquent and appropriate address, referring
to the presence of the ex-Confederates, and
was followed by Col Trumbull, an ex-Federal,
with an original poem. Then Gen. Pillow
made brief and appropriate reply. Among
