Montague i'm False Shame

Last evening Mr.. FL. j. Montague, supported
by a company described on the bill as Select
appeared at Music Hall in "False Shame"
The audience was not so large as the merit of
the comedy and the reputation of the star
should have called out, but it was thoroughly
appreciative and sympathetic, and toward the
close of the play warmed to an enthusiasm for
which the admirable acting of Mr.. Montague
was ample justification.
For Mr.. Montague imperson alton Of Lord
Chiffon" there can be none but words of
praise. 1t was the perfection OF dramatic art ;
an Interpretation absolutely faultless; charac-
terization SO finely drawn, go delicately shaded,
SO thoroughly finished that more than one
evenings inspection is necessary to cowpre-
bend its excellencies. 1t is as farlremoved
from the gross and heavy strokes by which the
ordinary actor would convey the character as
the work of the scene painter from the work of
an artist And, like all good art IFS excellen-
cies grow upon the spectator bylong inspection.
1t is an impersonaton which merits and richly
repays careful aud often repeated observation.
The character of gentleman, in the ancient
and only proper acceptation of the term, is
the actors are few, even among those eminent
in their profession, who successfully "enact" it,
The lord Chiffon" of Mr.. Montague amply
met the requirement. The exquisite grace of
manner, the carefully modulated tones, the
punctilious observance of forms even toward
those to whom forms have no meaning, all
were apparent In the secondary aspect of the
role, the portrayal of the aimless affectstion Of
the young aristocrat. he was no less happy.
Mr.. Montague's support is inadequate. Miss
Langley was good "Magdaen AtLerleigh,"
though something wanting in the restraint rec
essary to a thoroughly effective rendition in the
closing act. Mr.. Edwards was a very amusing
'Colonel Howard

will be repeated, and those who neglect to at.
tend the representation will miss seeing admir-.
able acting This evening and Wednesday
evening "Our Idof' will be given, Mr.. Mon
tague taking the part Jack Beemish,' a role
in which he has won his greatest triumphs,
and which no ole who loves good acting should
neglect to see.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. ga letter
from Sacramento under date OF Dec. Gath,
says the young grass which started after
the early rains is beginning to die, and
summer fallowed grain which scarcely
ever fails in this county, will fare the
same as other grain, unless rain falls
within two weeks. Flowing is entirely
suspended, and already much grain
which has been sown will have to be
again sown. The case is not hopeless,
however. Should the rain come within
two weeks, great part would be saved,
and with favorable weather still later in
the season the crop would still mature.
The winter has been an unusually cold
one. Yolo and San Joaquin counties
are no better off.
In the trotting race at Oakland Park
yesterday between st. James aad May

This evening Joseph Gardella, an !tal-
ian Saloon keeper on Dupont street, en-.
tered neighboring saloon, kept by a
German named Kreuter, and without
any apparent provocation attacked him
with knife. Before any harm was done,
Aremed Anstell, one of the proprietors
OF the Lafayette brewery, entered the
saloon and inquired what was the
trouble, when Gardella turned upon him
and inflicted a cut across his intestines,
and he also stabbed another bystander
severely in the head. Officers in the
neighborhOod came in and took Gar
della to prison. Anstell was taken to
the prison hospital, where he is now
dying.

Rising TO the TrOt.

The AnglC-manla Las so captured all
horse-riding Christendom that the Gus
tom OF rising TO the trot, ungracetul
though it is, has the powerful indorse
ment OF fashion. Like most practI-
ces of English horsemanshlp, this one Is
founded in certain degree OF good
sense, especially rs being applicable 10
the average rider; Tor the number OF men
who can sit lightly in the saddle under
the springy action Of the trot without dis
comfort TO themselves and Inconvenience
to their horses is comparatively small
By rising at each alternate step and
coming lightly back to the saddle, they
AVOID the uncomfortable ioltlng OF their
own viscera, and the wearlsome pound
ing ofthe horses back. Perhaps Tor
long journeys the practice Is always to be
commended, and 1t affords an unspeaka-
bic relief when one is obnged to ride n
horse which has been taught TO trot only
in harness. There are rare riders, how
ever, who have that capacity for respon-
sive spring in the inner muscles OF the
thighs which makes the close seat pleas
anter both Tor themselves and for their
animals Col. Warimg IN Scri6ner for

ankles, and the pretty boys who tend IN
our fashionable boot and shoe stores.
1t would seem 1t first as though one had
nothing TO do with the other, but they
have good deal in common, and the
more the hanGsomer the customer. r.
Gently young miss in my prensence
tried on ten part of boots without ht,
and between her desire Tor perfect one
and the prayer OF the clerk for none at
all there was u prospect of her passing
the afternoon that way. l could not
blame the fellow, for he was a beauty,
but l was shocked at the abandon of the
lady, / do not now wonder why posi-
tlons ia such stores are desirable and
very scarce, especially in these days
when there is so much wicke1ness. 1t

works are at Lewistown, Pa. We are
informed that Park, Brother u Co., OF

steel. Steel spring and edge tools are
