WE do not wonder that the southern
men who went over TO Hayes are sick at
heart. Any understanding" to the
effect that the Nichols and Hampton
governments should be recognized was
an unworthy bargain. 1t might have
been expected that man who would &C.
cept the Presidency upon such terms as
Hayes did, would have broken his en-
gagements. 1t is very sadi when men
sell their birthright for a mess of pottage
and then fail 70 get the pottage.

DRAMA-MAUD MULLER.-Certainly Miss
Rogers is happily endowed. She pleases-
wins-sways her audience, and the audi
ence cannot tell Just how it is done with so
little apparent effort she attains her ends.
This makes Us believe that she has far more
art than most people think she has: for it is the
fate OF nature often to stumble and the privi-
Iegc OF art to sweep on smoothly. AS Juliet.
Miss Nelson in the potion-Scene is the verb
table, passionate Italian girl, half trenzied
by gloomy thoughts-not Il "human :"
tigress, leaping, ranting-simplY because
she is restrained by bigh sense OF art.
Unschooled nature, it seems, delights in
tearing the passions to tatterS, while art
gives passions kind OF elaSticity-makes
it easier to stretch them yard than tear
them an inch: in short, nature on the stage
is n beautiful hobgoblin unless art lends ga
temperament that gives all smoothness."
With Miss Rogers it stands thus: art has
richly brought out the colors set by nature.
Out Of the character Of Maud Muller she
has made more than it is likely anybody
else could have made out OF it: for the char
acter well suits her method and her tastes.
We heartily extol her excellent discretion,
her neatness OF execution, and her remark
able diversity OF style.
For distinctness OF portraiture, for bold
contrast OF light and shade, for rich gaiety
OF spirits alternating with intense gloom,
for simplicity and grace, Miss Rogers's Maud
Muller is truly exceptional.
The company was very good last night.
Charles Abbott in the last act was quite i'm
pressive. Maud Muller will be repeated to-
night. The play deserves a crowded house,

RICHMOND COLLEGE Law DEPARTMENT. -
BY request OF the Faculty and Trustees OF
Richmond College, Professor Davies delv-
cred, on Monday night, in the College
chapel, before an appreciative audience, a
lecture Introductory to the general collie
giate course. The new Professor was in
troduced to his audience in handsome
manner by Colonel Thomas j. Evans. The
lecture was an admirable and eloquent dis
cuSsion Of the advantage of education as
contributing to human pleasure. a
Those who heard that address were not
unprepared for the lecture, introductory to
the law school, which was delivered before
the class and some visitors on yesterday.
The learned professor, in scholarly
aud pleasing manner, impressed upon
the Young men the needful Qualiti-
cations for student OF law and the
method and object OF prosecuting the study.
The classic illusions and chaSte language
showed that the practice OF his profession
had not made Mr.. Davies neglectful Of the
culture which results from intimate &C.
o,laintance with general literature. While
eyircinc thorough acquaintance with legal
lore, with the standard authors, and the de-
cisions OF the courts and the reason Of legal
principles, there was the happy comblna-
ton OF this sound learning with the amenl-
ties and the charities OF the schools. The
wish was expressed that lecture SO COM
prehcnsive and practical might be published
in the Virginia Lao Journal for the benefit
OF the profession. 49,.
At the close OF Professor Davies's lecture
Professor Curry announced to the class that
his lectures on international and Constltu-
tional Law would be commenced very soon.
He will lecture mainly upon the British and
American Constitutions. and theories OF
government. There will be also one or
more lectures on Parliamentary Law in this
course. So skilled parliamentarian Us tue
Doctor will invest the subject with much in
terest. The wish has been expressed that a
portion of this course will be opened to the
public.
The Law School opens we'll and helps to
keep up the marked prosperity which
crowns this new session Of Richmond Col
lege.
