city in that character, and certainly he pre-
sents q most artistic Interpretation of the
English fop. He is character comedian of
great ability, and is fully entitled to the high
rank he holds in his profession, always pre-

represents. We are glad to welcome his re-
turn to our stage, and feel confident that his
| engagement will prove very successful one.
Sam " will be continued until further no.
tice. and we heartily recommend visit to the
theater during his engagement.
The ST. CHARLES THEArER-Mr Edwin
Adams began the second week of his engage
ment at this theater last evening. The pro-
gramme consisted of the plays 90 Wild Oats :"
and Black. Eyed Susan" We have already
spoken Of Mr.. Adams's high ability and great
dramatic talent, and can only now add that
he has given renewed evidences of it with his
every representation. The performance last
evening was very successful one. and elected
much applause. "Black- Eyed Susan will be
repeated this evening, and at its close the
theater will be given up to the pleasures of
the dance.
ACADEMY OF MUs1c.-Kelly & Icons troupe
of minstrels give an entertainment at this
theater might, presenting the long promised
"Grand Duch-S." and other minstrel
sketches. There will not be the usual ball
given at the Academy, consequently first

10 P. NJ, in time to visit one or all of the
masked balls given in the city. Tomorrow
a matinee will be given at this theater. Only
q few days remain of Kelly & Icons engage
ment Sunday, March S. Frank Msyo's Dsvy
Crockett Combination commence q short en-
gagement at the Academy. Mr.. Mayo is q
ern cities. The Boston Transcript says:
cat the Boston Theater last evening the
play of 'Davy Crockett was brought out,
with Mr.. Frank Mayo in the title role This
piece is neither coarse nor offensive In its
language and action. There are no charac-
ters from low life, no shoulder-hitters, gam
blers, or highway robbers to horrify the au-
dience with their wicked deeds through the
first four acts, and then to be instantaneously
converted or comfortably shot in the fifth.
The aim of the piece is to transform the
brave backwoodsman, Davy Crockett, into an
heroic forest knight-errant, with chivalrous
sense of honor that would do credit to the
knights of King Arthur's round table. Mr..
Mayo makes his impersonation even more
than the authors ideal, his acting being as it
always is, excellent Transcript

The Decline Of the Crescent.

Anne Bre,cster IN the PHILADELPHIA
Bulletin.
The great eternal question of the
East is the nightmare of European
diplomacy, and Egypt is to be one
of the apples of discord. The vast
Byzantine empire is crumbling
away; the powerful religion of
Islam is going to ruin. The land
of the Pharaoh is ruled by a chief
who has given great promise and
hopes. The might of Mahomet-
anism was to be reinvigorafed Ivy
the Khedive, it has b cen believ-
ed by some, and Ismall Pacha
himself has hoped to secure his
own pasition by using the conten-
ding influences that surround him
for his ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. But un-
luckily the Khedive is not a great
man, only a clever one. He has
the astu.e qualities of an Oriental.
He has determined TO be success
full, no matter at what cost, and
the cost has been mo @ than he
bargained for, for now his Egyp-
tidu sdulplIc VI dSDt anu uctelt
will turn upon him and rend his
power to pieces. English disap-
pointments, French ambitions
and resentments, German aspi.
rations and Muscovite sagacity
and relentless, powerful determi-
nation stand on the borders CT the
Nile glaring at each other. The
Khedive, with his pretended civil
reform the surface work of our
day-with the dilapidation and
accumulated errors of Ottoman
tradition at the root, and the Sui
tan-no matter whether he be Alb
dull Aziz or Murad V-must go
under. We can almost hear the
yawp of tide bloodhounds of war.

The New York mind is vexed
by the question, "Does lager beer
intoxicate?" The same question
as to weiss bier and cider seems to
have been settled in the negative,
and consequently these beverages
are no longer under the ban of a
Sunday law. One Mr.. Jacob Van
Vetler put himself on the outside
of thirty glasses of lager beer on
Saturday in New York, partly to
test the intoxicating quality of the
beverage and partly in the hope of
winning a wager of $50 Notwith-
standing the fact that Jacob sub
sequently walked into the river
and had to be fished out by police
men, he swears that lager beer is
not Intoxicating, and he ought to
know.

Appearance of General
Hayes.

A correspondent of the New York
Graphic, says. The person of the Gov
of Ohio, is both martial and gen.
tlemanly; he is of that medium which
stout and small men contend for, equal
to cunning or to fishing He is not a
church member nor communicate, but
vas reared a Presbyterian. His wife is
a Methodist. Hayes has no assump-
ton of IA sectarian sort and does not 90
about rebuking customs, wSile yet alive
to the honor of the age and conscious
of its defects. He is said tn take his
glass Of Rhine wine at jocu~e times aud
to start off with his gun aud d friend
for a self-reliant week up the SanduSky
marshes or across to fhe Canada side,
His amusetnents incline to the social
life OF fan Eastern gentleman modified by
the heartiness and alsn by the Sc
verer moral scruples OF the West.

True Love Out Of Fashion.
[Fr0m The Albany Argus.]

From the Albany Argus.]
The country never possessed so
many beautiful manageable
young woman as it does at the
present time. And why do we
not have more marriages We
answer because marriage for love
is the exception, and not the rule,
The young people of this age have
gone fashion and money mad. If
the dandy back-clerk who pays
half of his income for board
and the other for clothes cannot
improve his condition he will not
marry. The shop girl who earns
good wages and cannot be distin-
guished by her dress from the
bankers daughter certainly will
not plunge into matrimony unless
she can better her condition in
life.s If a man is fortunate enough
to possess money, it matters not
how old or ugly he may be, hum
dreds of intelligent, handsome
young women can be found only
too willing to become his wife.
Love is an after consideration,
They marry to be supported and
dressed extravagantly. How Of
ten do we hear the remark, bet
ter to be an old mans darling than
a poor mans slave" Alas too
many of them are not satisfied TO
be darlings. They will persist in
loving other men after they are
married. 1t cannot be denied that
a great number of the unmarried
men are adventures looking for
wives who can keep them with
out working for a living. The
peace and contentment ola happy
home are not taken into consider
alton. They are willing to suffer
a hell upon earth if they car be
kept in idleness. If u young
people do not abandon this ex-
travagance of dress and greed for
money our country will be filed
with old bachelors and old maids,
We must have more genuine
courtships and marriages to have
prosperity and happiness in this
world. Too many marry for
money to be disappointed and I'M
happy the rest of their lives.
