Mr.. SoTHERN To-NfGHT AT THE THEATRE.
The new character Of De Lacy Fitzalta-
mont, which Mr.. Sothern will intro
duce to the frequenters Of the Theatre this
week, is one Of those eccentric creations
which that talented deineator Of stage ec-
aentricities is so well fitted to portray. 1t
is in the elucldation of dramatic patholo-
gies that Mr. Sothern is at his best. His
Lord Dur ndreary, W hich he plays tonight, Is
the one with which hisen is SO exten-
siyely identified. Although 1t was never
expected to overshadow the other charac-
tiers in "Our American Ceusin," Sothern
impaired to it spark OF bis. peculiar crea-
tive genius and it absorbed play, characters,
and all, and theatre-goers attend representa-
tions OF .sOur American Cousin " not to
enjoy the play, but to laugh over the abnor-
NAL noble, who walks and talks spasmodi-
cally, and infects bis audiences with some
thing more pronounced than the conyul-
sive twitchings with which he sets the thea
ire in a roar. "The Crushed Tragedian !"
is another of the abnormal creations made
to fit Sothern, and Sothern is the only man
fitted to play it. No one else dare to under
take it any more than any other actor
would endeavor to delneate Dundreary
without being laughed at, not for his sue
cess, but for his temerity. Let the pub
lie see "The Crushed Tragedian," and say
il that is not so.

COLONEL YoUNG's BUGGY RoBBED.-Last
evening about 7 o'clock Colonel John B..
Young drove up to the telegraph office,
leaving in his buggy bag containing the
papers in several chancery suits. When he
went back his bag was gone. The papers
are of no value to any one except the parties
interested, and the Colonel fears, If they were
stolen, that the thief may throw them away.
However, he has offered a rewardfor them,
thinking they may have been lost.
P. S. After the above paragraph was
written Colonel Young's bag was recovered
by Officers Hulce and Walton, who arrested
Louisa Brown and Martha Jane Scott,
charged with the theft Of the bag. After
being arrested the women carried the Of
tcers to the vacant lot on Bank street near
Twelfth, where the bag and many OF the
papers were recovered. They then went
to the Capitol Square, where another lot Of
the papers was recovered, probably all that
were lost.
While the policemen were looking for the
bag they went into Tobacco alley and there
found in a sack half dozen tobacco-cut-
tiers, which, it is believed, were stolen and
hid there by thief, who no doubt pro-
posed to remove them.
