The New York stage.

What would we do If oil the theatres
should be closed? The drama has had in
all times and in all countries such pro-
found hold upon humanity that its disap-
pearance from the arts would be almost as
deeply felt as the annihilation of books. and
quite as much as the destruction of music,
painting and sculpture. Nothing can re-
place it. Shakespeare in the book and
Shakespeare on the stage are very differ
ent for many of his greatest quail
ties can be only expressed in ac-
ton. We give to the theatre the
fullest recognition of its value as an in
structor in every branch of thought. 1t has
philosophy, poetry. humor, history, charac-
ter. and includes in its own realm the arts of
music, painting and sculpture. 1t is SO
close to humanity that it measures the con-
dition Of the nation or community. When
the stage declines there must be something
wrong in society, and when society is pros
porous and healthy the acted drama is one
of the most popular of its intellectual diver
sions
We rejoice to know that the area Of de-
preston which rested over the theatres this
winter is removed, and that the public in
terest in the drama is revived. The events
of the last week and those announced for
the present prove how great is the demand
for novelty and what pains managers take to
supply it. The Kellogg English opera
company is giving q brief but brilliant
season. the principal feature of which is

man." 1t will be repeated this week, and
on Friday evening "Mignon" will be
sung for the benefit of Miss Kellogg,
Miss Kellogg by her enterprise. has
fully justified the confidence Of the public
in her devotion to the highest art. AT the
Fifth Avenue Theatre the charming comedy
Of "Lemons" has delighted crowded houses
with innocent fun and satire. The idea of
the author is that the world is divided into
two casses-lemons and lemon squeezers-
and this applies to the camp, the court, the
calls in several of his scenes the happy humor
of Burton, and the whole play is finely
acted Another amusing comedy is that of
sOur Boarding House." at the Park, which
possesses the genuine flavor of Western life.
At Niblo's Garden we have extravaganza
in "Around the World in Eighty Days" in
it's gayest forms, while at the Grand Opera
House Mr. Daly's best works are in course of
production. The romantic drama is beauti-
fully represented at Wallack's by "All for
Her" and the darker and more sombre pas
sions have been depicted at the Union Square
in "Miss Mutton" by Miss Clara Morris,
who yesterday bade what we hope
| will be brief farewell to the New York
stage Our variety theatres were never
better, and with the minstrel companies
contribute largely to the entertainment OF
the metropolis This week there are, at
least, two events of Importance, the pro-
duction of Mr. Rowe's new local drama OF
"Fifth Avenue" at Booths Theatre and the
performance of 'Les Danichefis' ut the
Union Square. Among so many attractions
it is difficult for the theatre goer to choose,
and he might appropriately exclaim, "How
happy could 1 be with either were t'othe,
dear charmer away"

Turkish Reform.

Turkey will do whatever England wishes
whenever England wishes her to do what
she is herself inclined to do +; but if Eng
lands desires move in the other direction
then Turkey sublimely regrets that England
is deceived and has fallen into the hands of
Turkeys enemies. England should feel
proud that she has the sympathies of Tur-
key in a case of this nature 1t is explained,
with more or less authority, that the advice
offered through the Marquis of Salisbury
was necessarily rejected for reasons related
to the latter part Of the above statement.
Turkey knew that England would not give
such advice if England really under.
stood the case and so she acted
on her intimate knowledge Of what
England would have advised if better
informed. Turkey has given notice to the
Powers of the appointment of three Chris.
tians MS Governors of provinces, which is
going through the motions of reform, at least;
but what measures she has taken to render it
impossible that these appointments can be
of any value we do not yet know. 1t may
be taken for granted that the preventive
measures will be more effective than the
appointments, however; for Turkeys pol
icy is now decided definitely, that as the
Christian population constantly complicates
the relations of the Porte with Europe that
population must be killed out as a source OF
national danger

TIE WAR IN EUROPE.

The war between Turkey and Rus
sia has begun in earnest. The
Turks seem to have been generally
successful thus far. A battle was
fought near kars a few days ago, in
which the Russians were repulsed
with loss of Is, ,000prisoners. Any
opinion, however, as to final results,
would be entirely premature.
Prince GOrLSchakof has instruct
ed the Russian representatives, in
communicating his circular to the
powers, to declare that RusSia's on
ly object is to compel Turkey to ac-
cept the measures necessary to in
sure internal peace, such measures
to be determined at the proper mo-
ment, not By Russia, butby.the con-
cert OF the powers. IN this matter
the Car will limit himself to InSur-
ing the reforms agreed upon between
the powers. Count Schouvaloff was
specially instructed to declare to
Great Britain that Russia entertains
no plan not intended exclusively for
the improvement Of the condition of
the Eastern Christians.
1t seems highly probable that Aus.
tria will soon take a hand in the
matter, while the British Parliament
is engaged in q heated discussion o.
Mr.. Gladstone Is resolution that "Tht
house is ofthe opinion that the Porte
by its conduct towards its subject
population, and by its refusal to give
guarantee for better government
has forfeited all claim to the more
material support of Great Britain. ;
Europe may have its long dreaded
general war before many weeks.

The suit Of Adam Grenoble against
the l.. G.. Il $. G. r. r., better
known as the Gregg township rail
road case, was tried in our court last
week, and Il verdict rendered for Mr.
Grenoble for S562 and costs. This
amount is specially made for the re-
mOval of out buildings, destruc-
tion of apple trees and garden, and
for the building of fences. Nothing
is allowed for right Of way, the jury
no doubt considering the advantages
of the rail road fully equal to any
losses on that score, This relieves
the citizens of Gregg township, who
had given bonds tC the r. r. Co.
guaranteeing free right of way,
from the payment Of any damages.
This is but right. Gregg has done
her duty fully, without paying dam
ages and the costs Of an expensive
law suit. We congratulate our
neighbors on their good luck.

tThe following article appeared In the
JOURNAL of March 18th, and is to-day re-
pubiished by request }
BellerOnte and the RAN Road.
The lFatcaman OF last week puts
in 4 very strong aud practical plea
for the speedy construction of the
projected rail road from BellIfonte
TO I.emont, to interseCt our road at
the latter point. To us it is matter
OF surprise that 4 project so absolute
" essential to the future prosperity
OF Bellefonte, should So long lay dor
maGt and probably fail altogether
for the wait of q little energy ana
enterprise on the part of those most
to be benefited by its construction.
Bellefonte is widely and justly cele-
brated for her wealth, for the intelli-
gence and public spirit of her citi-
2enS, her manufactoricS--her great
men, living and departed, yet, here
are a few miles of rail road to be
built, an arterie to be opened that
would mfuse new lie into her Vari-
Gus business interests, and the neg
lect to build which nEtSt inevitably
result in commercial decaV-md she
heSitates-falterS, until, we fear, the
golden opportunity is lost for all
time. The proud inland town that
boasts of palatial residences that
cost SIC, 600. refuses or neglectS to
give half that sum to an enterprise
that to her IS us necessary, In a busi-
ness point ofview, rs the daily bread
is to the human body. Can this be !?
win Bellefonte lie wise and act on
the first law of nature SELF prCScr-
rution, or is she willing to step down
from her proud position in Central
Pennsylvania to the rank of an indo-
lent, insignificant village !? Her deS-
tiny is in her own hands. Let her
act quickly for her own good. If
she does not, hers Oe the loss, the
fault the shame.
Pennsvalley does not absolutely
need rail road connection with Belle.
fonte. True, it would be Il great
convenience TO US. We would have
easy and speedy access to our coun-
ty seat. Would prefer, rs a matter
OF choice TO give her our produce III
exchange forher wares and merchan-
disc but if she will not, if she
thruSts us aside, there are yet other
places that will hid us welcome.
If Bellefonte can stand it without a
rail road to Pennsvalley-Pennsval-
ley can stand it without rail road to
Bellefonte.
