ANCIENT MORALS.

In the ncient GentOO laws of India,
which show admirable notions ofhonesty
as betweel the subjects of the laws, we
find prescriptions for dividing the booty
Of robbers who had plundered any con-
tiguous but alien people. " If any
thieves" " says the ordinance, by the
command of the magistrate, and with his
assistance, have committed depredations
upon and brought booty from another
province, the magistrate shall receive a
share of one-sixth of the whole" etc.
In ancient Greece, even at the golden
prime of that spleudid narrow culture
which exhibited itself 80 incomparably
in art, in literature, and in civic virtue,
the moral rules which concern liberty
and life, and the simpler Of the moral
rules which concern rights of property,
were defined very perfectly as between
the fellOw.citizens of each state, and be-
tween the kindred sta&s, but very inn
perfectly beyond that strict limit Of
familig association. The stranger, the
alien, he enslaved captive, the barbarian
of the non-Hellenic world, were not
humafellows to the Greek; at the most
they ure only human creatures of some
differert variety, having that similituds
and approaching somewhat to that rela-
tiou bit quite excluded from his cog
milton OF ellowship by all the habits of
his feeling and his thought. According
to his reception, they were clearly
proper subjects of predatory warfare and
piracy; be could. kill them, plunder
er them, enslave them, with no
more oonpunctioL of conscience than
the modern hunter feels in cap
turing or killing the gaAe-animals of the
forest. and yet the same conscience
was acting i'll the Greek that acts in men
to-day but with only more narrowness
of range in the perceptions upon which il
acted.
We shsl have to pass far beyond the
Greek in history to find much of change
in these repects. The Englishman of the
Elizabetbsn age wasa toleIably cultured
man, as we'll morally as otherwise. So
far as his fellow -Englishmen were con.
cerned, bs had notions of right conduct
that wersquits accurately formed. But

Mark TWINS SPEECH ON THE
PRESENTITION or HIS NEW
PLAY, AH-hIN, IN
NEW TORK.

Ladies and Gentlemen: In view Of
this admirable success, it Is meet that I
should try to express to you our hearty
thanks for the large share which your
encouraging applause has had in pro-
ducing this success. This office ] take
upon me with great pleasure. This is
a very remarkable play You may not
have noticed it, but l assure you it is so.
The construction of this.plav was a work
of great labor and research; also of ge-
MUS andinvention and plagiarism. When
the authors of this play began their
%ork they were resolved that it should
not lack bloOd-curdling disasters, acci-
dents and calamities, for these things al
ways help cut a play. But we wanted
them to be new ones, brilliant, unhack-
neyed. In a lucky moment we hit upon
the breaking down of stage coach as
being something perfectly fresh and ap-
pAlling. It seemed a stroke of genius
an inspiration. We were charmed with it
so we naturally overdid it a little. Con-
quently, when the play was first COM
pleted, we found we had that stage break
down seven times in the first act.
We saw that that wouldn't do, the piece
was going to be too STACEY. q didn't
notice that; that is very geod.) Yes,
the critics and everybody would say this
sort of thing argued poverty of inven-
ton. And (confdentially) it did resem-
BILE that, so of course we set to work and
put some limitations upon that accident;
and we threw a little variety into the
style of it, too. Originally the stage
coach came in about every seven min
utes, and broke down at the foot-lights,
and spilled the passengers down among
the musicians But we fixed all that.
At present the stage coach only breaks
down once, and the horses of another
carriage run away once. We could have
left out one or two of these, but we had
the horses and vehicles on our hands and
we couldn't afford to throw them away on
a mere quibble. | am making this ex-
planation in the hope that it will recon-
cile you to the repetition of that accident.
This play is more didactic than other
wise. For the instruction of the young
we have introduced a game of poker in
the first act. The game of poker is all
too little understood in the higher cir
cles of this country. Here and there
you find an ambassador that has some
SSea of the game; but you take the gen
eral average of the nation and our igno-
rance ought to make us blush. Why, l
have even known clergyman, estimable,
pure hearted man, and most excellent
husband and father, who didn't value an
ace full above two pair and jack. Such
ignorance as this is brutalizing. Who
ever sees Mr.. Parsloe in this piece sees
as good and consistent a Chinaman as he
could see in San Francisco. / think his
portrayal of the character reaches per
fection. The whole purpose of the piece
is to afford an opportunity for the illus
tration of this character. The Chinaman
is going to become frequent spectacle
all over America, by and by, and
difficult political problem too. There
fore, it seems well enough to let the
