They are a very disobliging people,

no matter how discouraging in any other
way than as blessing. This is dis
play Of fortitude worthy Of q better

continue to be needed in the future. The
Republicans are hard-headed lot. In

Of the mine itself are allowed on all sides

has so serious . hitch in it that reference

other mines that will before long fur

A furnace is being erected in Balloon

1t would seem as if "a serious hitch"

CuaRLArrE CUsHMAN's ACTING.

Even in the terrific outbursts of Meg
Merrilies," the agonized maddess OF bi-
auca, or the remorse of Lady Macbeth,
she never ranted nor overstepped the
modesty of nature. Passion Is like a
good servant but dangerous master, and
with her it was kept within the bounds OF
the purest art. This gave to her acting the
charm of reserved power; 1t did not con-
vey the impression of labor and effort,
but one of natural inspiration and ease.
Her reading was the finest on the stage,
especially in its business. Its accuracy
was wonderful, and the astonishing power
of emphasis which she would sometimes
concentrate upon single word. was con-
trasted with the most delicate discrimlna-
tions of meaning. 1t is not strange that
she was almost as popular as a reader as
an actress. for in the noblest dramas the
thought is more important than action,
and produces greater effects-a TACT
which Edwin Forrest illustrated during
the last ten years of his life. when ne sim,
ply read Lear" and "Othello," and
'.Hamlet" on the stage. being physically
unable TO act them. Miss Cushman, how
ever. did not depend upon her readings OF
the text entirely, bat expressed the char
acter she played IN Valieo attiuue anu
gesture. Her stately figure enabled her
10 dare successfully what in other women
would have seemed exaggeration. The
attitude which Meg Merrilles" assumes
on her first entrance lives in the memory
of thousands as picture of fearful beau
ty. 1t was more than picturesque--it was
moral, for it told the story of undying love
for Harry Bertram. All through her
great round of characters are scattered
pictures of similar fascination and power
There is Queen Katherine, with extended
arms, appealing to her royal husband. or
with outstretched hand and averted head
pointing to Wolsey: Lord Cardinel, to
you l speak" There is Wolsey himself,
shuddering at the taunts of his enemies.
There is Romeo stretched upon the ground
taking "the measure Of an unmade grave"
No other actor could fill the stage as she
did. She had not only this vast variety OF
attitude and gesture. but also rapidity of
motion, which was applied occasionally
with splendid effect, particularly in the
Gypsy Queen.-John r. Stockton; in
Scribner for June.
