crowded and fashionable assemblage thronged the
Lyceum last night to attend the benefit Of NJ Raphael
Mezieres He appeared in two roles, In which be dis
played the finest and best elements Of thorough ar
tst, and certainly none met with heartier or
more enthusiastic recognition. The performance
opened with q sparkling little comedy entitled
sIe Homardn full of drol and ludicrous
situations which afforded the bsnefcidire ample
Tor the exhibition OF his inlmitable
powers Of humor But II was not until the curtain
rose on ssIes Chevalicrs du Pnce-Nez y IN which, by
the way Mezieres has played over 800 times, that he
displayed his full powers. His makeup as the de-
formed petit crere Of sporting proclivities. not alto
gethcr an exaggeration OF boulevard life perfec
ton itself He is Of course accompanied by few
OF his sporting friends, and between them
the scenes that fairly bring tears
10 the eyes His sefconcet and exravagant ideas, all
the while forgetting that he is hunchback, were de-
piced with wonderful skill Moreover, his lmagina-
deludes hlm with the impression that every lady
he becomes smtten with his charms, and
this the artist turns the best account Then his pc
euliar gait In itself study From beginning 10
end the house kept unrestrained state OF rs
bity, every move and gesture Of the crippled sport
adding 10 It's strength. The comedy like most OF It's
kind, has particular plot bur abounds IN the comic
elements. The performance last night was genuine
success, and ii. Mezieres admirably sustained by
the members Of the company, all OF whom who ap-
peared last night contributing largely TO the excellence

Is IT PLAG1AR1sM?-A CARD FROM AR. Il. D.
PALMER.

~,
PALMER.
To THE EDITOR THE HERALD
You intimate in your interesting editorial upon
tho subject OF the two Revolutionary plays-one
by Mr. Sinclair Of Boston; the other by Mr.. Martin
Farquhar Tupper, which proposed for representa-
tion during the Centennial year-that If you in
possession of a copy OF the latter the HEBALD would
be better enabled to pass judgment upon the charge
OF plagiarism made against the English author. Mr.
W. S. Andrews the humorist, in this city, placed
Mr.. Tupper's play in my hands, with view TO its
production at Booths Theatre but after careful read
ing reluctantly felt constrained to decline it upon the
ground that 1t not applicable to stage representa-
ton. l have doubt that, upon the perusal Of this
communication by Mr.. Andrews, that gentleman will
courteousy place the MSS OF the play your service
for the object you have.
Possibly my verdict upon the play may be an unjust
one, and therefore its possession by you may
twoold purposesettle to your satisfaction the ques
ton OF originality and gain Tor your readers criticism
OF the acting merits Of the piece.
