TUESDAY MORNING, JAN. /.

and and found a very gloomy feeling prevailing.
IL seems useless to try to keep up your credit
over here, said well-known American gen.
tleman to me, 'sbeoause the politicians are
determined to injure it. Less than year ago
the Presidents message and Secretary Sher-
mans report inspired general confidence, and
bonds went up all round. Now look at the
news OF the last two days! People say to
themselves, if the Americans are determined
to repudiate they will find a way to do it in
spite OF the President or the Secretary of the
treasury, and the result is that they are selling
the government bonds of the older descriptions,
and to ask them to buy the new tours would be
like asking them to jump from the top of st.
Pauls."
Let no one imagine that if the present alarm
grows into panic it will be confined to gov
eminent bonds. On the contrary everything
will go by the board Every mercantile house
which does business with Liverpool or Man
chester, Birmingham or Sheffield, Glasgow or
London, will feel the effects of it. For if a
government can break faith with its creditors,
what right has anybody to expect private firms
to be more scrupulous? The faint of dishonor
would rest upon the whole people.

Mayor Hamliu issues a New Years address
to the City Council reviewing the causes OF the
unusual burden of taxation the present year.
He shows that it is largely due TO meeting liza
blities incurred in aid of the Bangor and Pts
cataquis Railroad and introducing the water
works. While the floating debt has been ex.
tinguished he estimates that highly favorable
prospects of the railroads, increased revenue
from water rates and economical policy will
bring the rate of taxation considerably below
three per cent the next fiscal year. He cites
the decrease of valuation all over the country,
deprecates local croaking, commends. prompt
ness in meeting all obligations and presents an
encouraging view of the future.

Advice to Amateur Actors.

First OF all, never choose a play which has
been recently acted by professional actors.
The amateur, however good, can hardly hope
to equal the professional, however poor. So he
must needs avoid the comparison. Discretion
is the better part of valor, and private theatri-
Gals are in themselves feat foolhardy enough
to be the better for an extra portion of discre-
ton. They call for all the help they can get
so they should never neglect thu advantage of
novelty in the chosen play. The interest the
spectators feel in the unfolding of the plot NAV
thus be reflected upon the actors. In the sec
ond place, it is the duty of the amateur to
fn00s peoe az iu snort oDs aos play as possible
to fatigue the spectators than a piece in
tive acts. And the shortness is great
boon to the amateur who lacks many
Things needed in a long play-the knowledge,
Tor instance, OF how to use his voice without
fatigue. There is no limit to the variety of
subject and style to be found within the COM
pass OF one act: you can have comedy, farce,
Durlesque extravaganza, drama, opera, and
even tragedy-and all in one brief act. One
OF the most effective situations 10 the modern
drama OF France, situation so striking that it
has been stolen half dozen times. is to
be found in a play in one act, La Joie fat
Peur OF Nine. de Girardin. The list of French
plays, with their English equivalents, ceu-
comedy of In Sourd to the high comedy of
lie PoStscrfptuna, from the simplicity of
L'ete de Ia St. Martin to the intense emo
ton and anxiety of A Wolf in Sheep's
Clothing. Most Of the plays are admirably
adapted for amateur acting; the characters are
well marked; the dialogue is flowing and in
general not exactng; and the scenery and
mounting can easily be comprised by little
ingenuity and perseverance, Indeed, The scene
Is in most cases laid in parlor, with the cos
tunes of every day life. Now, in such costume,
and in such scenes, and in short plays like
these, the amateur is seen at his best When
he is ambitious and tries to do Hamlet or The
Lady of Lyons. or even The Hunchback or The
Honeymoon. he is seen at his worst. And when
the amateur is bad it is often because he is
Dumptious. All amateurs are not bumptious,
and all amateurs, therefore, are not bad And
amateurs who are not bad because they are NOT
bu mptious wisely and modestly gauge their own
strength, and refuse incontinenty to do battle
with any ponderous monster in five acts
