The gentlemen who are filling roles in
''third party" representations this year are
enacting o farce which, while amusing
enough probably to themselves. is not likely
to be success. The Fifth Avenue Hotel
company is highly respectable, and COM
prises some very fair actors, who have fire.
quently appeared in public before. But
stirring dramas are in preparation at other
houses and they are not likely to attract
much attention at this time. There will be
the great Cincinnati performance. with its
sensational positions, its elaborate scenery,
its intricate and exciting plot, its famous
melodramatic actors and its distinguished
tragedians All the world will be studying
the movements of the company and watch
ing the denouement, whether present at the
representation or not Then will follow the
startling st. Louis drama, with its veteran
artists, its new wardrobes, its magnificent
decorations and its stirring incidents. The
company will embrace o wide range of
talent, tragic, comic and melodramatic.
The plot of the play will concentrate the
attention and excite the imagination of an
enormous audience and of millions outside.
People will take sides with che or other of
these companies the respective numbers
will swell according to the favorable i'm
preston left by their appearance in the
West, and no person will pay any attention
to lesser attractions OF what possible
utility, then, can be select parlor enter
tainment at the Fifth Avenue or greenback
comedy rehearsal in private Office at such
moment as the present? The actors in
these farces had better put off their dresses
and 60 to Cincinnati or st. Louis to take
part in the famous dramas about to be pro-
dncad in those cities

Mr.. Claiborne Hardy presents somewhat
wildly the state Of mind in which the Brit
ish Ministry views the attitude Of the conti-
mental nations and hears noises which II
deems those of warlike preparation. The
Ministry ''hears the tramp of armed men in
every country in Europe" and hastily calls
upon Parliament to vote an increase in the
income tax, that England ''may keep her
place among the nations" What is Eng.
lands place among the nations? In the last
war waged in Europe. England's place was
that of an outside trader, who sold suppliea
and munitions to both sides, and was salts.
fed to put money in her purse, while Ger.
many trampled under foot the ally who, in
England's quarrel, had turned the equilib-
rum of the European balance in favor
of the Western Powers. Englands sym.
pathics, however, were with France;
for of the two Powers France was
her bes. customer In our war her SYM
pathies were with the South, which was also
good customer, and England here also
put money in her purse, but encountered
little drawback, ultimately, in the Geneva
verdict. If these two wars afford any in
dication Of England's real 'place among tho
nations" it does not appear that any increase
Of taxation is necessary to maintain it,
unless the Ministry contemplates the posi-
bility of another arbitration as the final con-
sequence. But the Ministry may deem that
the Crimean war affords the indication Of
England's right relation to her neighbors,
and may mean this declaration as general
notice that if there is war in Europe this
summer England is to be counted in" II
they act on that programme they will find
how the views Of the country have changed
n twenty years.

IMPORTATION WANTED.-Frank Potter,
United States Consul al Marseilles, writes
a letter 10 the Postmaster Of this place
asking for iuformai ion concerning Alexis
AveieiDer, Of Msrseil'es. \ letter from
him. dated Eureka, March Ii. 1876.
written to his relatives, states that be
was last November working I'm the fac
tory at Eureka, at which man named
Salier was the foreman.' He further
stated that he intended to leave shortly
either for San Francisco or the Black
Hills. As there is no factory here,
the probabilities are the letter should
have been sent to some other Eureka.
1t is possible, however, that Aveiginer
wrote that he was working at furnace
instead of factory. At all events, the
members of his family are very anxious
concerning him, and any person knowing
of his whereabouts will confer favor b,
informing Postmaster Wilson, who will
send the intelligence to the anxious rela-
tives Of the missing man.-Eureka Sen
