Miss DaVenDOrt's ssOIiyia".

10 attempt the creation Of a new part Is the
boldest thing an actor can venture on, no mat
ter what his previous success may have beep
and this is what Miss Fanny Davenport has
essayed in the character of Olivia, so far as
Americans are concerned. She has done this
after careful deliberation and close study of the
part as enacted in London. She is. therefore.
entitled to the credit of having undertaken
line Of acting in which her old successes gave
her no definite assurance of continuing to CAP
ture the public Her Olivia is besides not a
copied performance; IL is far too consistent for
that. She was wise in preparing herself by a
thorough familiarity with the London represen-
tation. She has shown her strength In infusing
the whole character with spirit and manner
wholly her own, however unlike 1t is to the
parts that have given her reputation.
Her Olivia presents three phases OF the de-
velopment OF the character that Goldsmith's
truthful and thoroughly English and whole
some genius has rendered immortal The first
is that OF the lovely maidenhood Of the favorits
daughter of simple minded but morally grand
old English country parson, whose impulsive
generous and ingenious nature has been en-
kindled to its depths by the arts and addresses
OF an accomplished rake. 1t is not an easy
picture to draw, with all its Pickering lights
and shadows. 1t was one that was well worth
great effort to m aster for in these days, when
dramatic cobblsrs patch up artificial mosacs of
characters out of the originals in an artificial
society. Goldsmith's Olivia is as q spring of
pure water gushing from the depths of nature,
compared with the artificial compounds that
tzz from our soda fountains. But the sim plio.
ity of nature is the despair of art. 1t can only
be portrayed by an artist who has intuitions,
individuality, wealth of emotional power and
genuine courage. There are scores of actors
VINO can depict abnormal specialties of unnatu-
RAJ emonon and conduct to one who can strong
Iy and easily show forth the heart conflicts and
simple love of such q character as the Olivia Of
Miss Davenport. 1t Is that-iH the first act Of
the play-of maiden who seems to be uncon-
scously developed with great rapidity, yet with
perfect naturalness, by the quickening aud ALL
pervading power of pure and wholesome love,
which overcomes all natural timidity and re-
serve, is only warmed into resolute determiua-
tion by opposition, and transfgurs the object Of
its exercise into unreal manliness aud worth
1t does not burn out the strong affections OF
loyal daughter or loving sister. It simply
rises above them and rules supreme, but grad
ualiy and not without touching conflicts be-
tween 1t aud them. In this difficult line OF
portrayal Miss Davenport has achieved sue
cess worthy of the courage that attempted the
task. She gives US pleasant, winning truth
full picture of the Olivia whom Goldsmith's
creative genius had in mind, rather than of the
some what uneven and composite character of
the modernzed dramatization. She appears
as the lamb of the good rural Parsons dock

A WASHINGTON paper gives an account of
Buffers bonds at the Treasury. After re-
citing the circumstances that called forth
Buffers tricky letter, it says: Sin this letter
he said he had given permission to the Regis
ter of the Treasury to exhibit the books to
the writer OF the article aforesaid, on condi-
ton that his (the writer's) ears should be cut
off if Buffers name did not appear on the list
of ofbondholders. The gentleman who wrote
the article, not wishing to run the risk OF los
ing so valuable an appendage as his ears, and,
perhaps, convinced by Buffers bombast, did
not avail himself of the offer. 1t now ap-
pears that the Register of the Treasury has
received no such permission from General
Butler, although, if 1t is given, he will have
no objection to comply, and it is reported
around the Treasury that the examination
can be made in perfect confidence that the
ears will not be cut off. While on the SUBJ
ject of bonds, it is not amiss to correct an
other false impression which is being so in
dustriously disseminated by the enemies of
honest money and good faith. Stress is con-
stantly laid upon the tribute which we are
paying to foreign bondholders, who are repre-
sented to own large proportion of our
bonds. To the contrary of this, it is be-
lieve now that more than seven-ei ghths o.
the bonds are held at home by our own peo-
pie, and this proportion is constantly iDcreas-
ing.

ONE of the many unreasonable complaints
made by the Greenback orators Wednesday
night was that their opponents called them
bad names. The complaint comes with ill
grace from political organization that stig.
matizes hard.money men as s'bloated bond
holders" and "money sharks" and "gold
sharps,' and ''pickpockets," and "midnight as
sassins," and "slimy imps of hell.'

IT must be CALLING to Democrats far away

IT must be calling to Democrats far away
(those in Maine have already hardened their
necks to the yoke) to read the speech of Mr..
George Ladd made at the Greenback jubilee
in this city Wednesday. Not word of men
ton did Mr.. Ladd make of the Democracy.
His election to Congress from the Fourth
District was regarded and spoken of by hi m
as solely Greenback victory. Aud so it
was. The Democrats there abandoned their
organization, and merged their identity with
the Greenbackers. They ceased to exist.
That is not, perhaps, to be wondered at.
1t is not strange that men like Marcelus
Emery should seek to destroy a political Or
ganization which has, unfortunately, given
toleration if not approval to their traitorous
sentiments and unpatriotic action. These
men hope that their own reasonable record
will be buried with the Democratic party and
trust that in the new organization their past
will be ignored or forgotten.

THEY have already begun to share the
spoils. Mr.. E. II. Cove is to be Secretary of
State, Mr.. George w. Parker Warden of the
State Prison, and Mr.. William Philbrick
State Treasurer. But this last will not do.
Mr.. Philbrick is banker-and presumably
bloated. Why not be consistent and make
MIR. John NJ. Todd State Treasurer? Mr..
Todd is great financier, and poet too.
Perhaps he would write his reports in verse
and sing them to the Legislature to the tune
of wearing of the Green"

Job printer" of the Courier. Neatls
printed invitations to an informal
reception" requesting mo style" and
mo regrets" were strictly complied
with. Formally and style were aband-
oned by the guests, which seemed to
heighten the delight of the occasion,
and not a single regret was received
by the host, as all invited we're pre-
sent. From eight o'clock until ten the
young folks occupied the time il
promenading through the pleasantly
arranged rooms, chatting and card
playing. During the next hour an
elegant supper was served, after which
the music struck up and the reveler>
enjoyed themselves to the utmost,
tripping the light fantastic toe" in the
spacious composing room, carrying on
innocent little flirtations, and breath
ing blessings on the head of Douglas,
the author of their pleasure, until the
hour of departure.
