opens with a representation of miners AT
work with their picks, delving for the
precious mctal-the rough miners camp.
With the whisky bottle and other articles
of necessity, which are, suppose, faith
fully portrayed. Probably Mark Twain
had in remembrance his own character
when he drew A6ner Plunkett, Uncle
Billy, good natured liar. Such whop-
pers as this man tells are only equalei
hy on,uo IF TIM yorp, MAIL Ia; r,oolT ,,,oJ
to glory in spinning. Uncle Billy and
Frederick, dark-looking william, sit
down to a game of cards. A barrel
with both heads ont supports a plank
which serves as table; whisky kegs are
used for seats. Nh Sin, who is in and
out all the time, with his face 80 childlike
and bland, is ever on the alert to apprO-
pirate articles which do not belong to
him. These he conceals under his gown
or up his loose sleeves. He has purlOincd
a pistol, and when he saw the two men
playing game of cards which he knew
nothing about, he went outside the camp
aud fired shot. Both men started out
to see who was killed, when Al Sin re-
appeared, and taking the pack of cards,
picked out four kings, which he placed
where Brodsrick's hand laid and four
aces for Piunkett. When these men re-
turned, each took up the hand which they
thought they had dealt when interrupted.
Both affect to find fault with their cards.
Br0derick, with affected Indifference, puts
up small sum of money. Ptunkstt
doubles it. His opponent, not to be out
done, stakes all the money he has; 50
does the other. Frederick then adds his
claim in the mine, with wife and every
earthly possession. Both men grow wild
with excitement when Frederick, in tri-
umph throws down his cards, and claims
the stakes with his four kings. His rage
and frenzy may be imagined when his
antagonist shows four aces. BrodericE's
excitement is now beyond control, and he
makes dash at Plunkett, he fires pistol
aud wounds him; then they fight with
chairs, stools, and tussle until Plunkett
falls dead. This somewhat cools the
murderer, who breads the consequence Of
his crime, and lifts the dead man and
throws him in the river, and comes back
with his hands and jacket red with blood.
All Sin comes in with the same mperturb-
able manner and comments in pigeon
English, in the effeminate voice Of the
true Chinaman. This scene, and the trial
by Judge Lynch with jury made UP OF
rough outcasts, are the two strong points
OF the play. Plunkett's wife is an imita.
ton of Mrs. Darlington. and Miss Plum
kett is the ordinary pert, saucy young
woman, with taste for tiuery and desire
to catch husband, particularly one whu
is supposed to be rich. She sets her af.
fections upon Broderick, not knowing
that he was the murderer of her father
Mas Temple, San Francisco heiress, is
very ~ishy-washy; so are her fsther and
her mother, and her lover. Mr.. Hsnry York
The play will be performed here all thi.
week and then be taken to Baltimore
