constantly improving.
Mr.. T.. Stoeckle, sang "Naucy Lee"
in such a manner as 10 call forth

THIRD EDITION
Am usensents.

About three hundred persons were
present last evening, at the Grand opera
House, to witness John I. Raymond
and Company in 'Rsks." The play was
a new one to our theatre-goers. but new
ertheless it abounded with striking and
telling points, which of course were
crea ed for Mr.. Raymond, and they ana
not suffer at his hands. The applause
was very liberal, showing tha' the audi
ence were well pleased with the perform
ance. 1t is to b. regretted that there
was not a larger audience present, but
inst here il would be well for actors and
actresses, no matter how great their repu-
tation, to understand that our citizens
will not pay Is Gems for general adnis-
sion to see a performance.
Tomorrow (Christmas) evening, the
peerless actress, Charlotte Thompson,
will appear at the Opera House, as "Ju-
lia," in the "IIunchback." OF course il
is hardly necessary to speak of Miss
Thompson's coming, as ii has been
eagerly looked for by her hundreds Of
admirers in this city. The play selected
is a good one, and of course will be acted
in manner that no one but Charlotte
Thompson can act.
The favorite New York actress, Uos'
Eytinge, appears on Thursday evening
in the great success of the day, "Ros'
Michel" The play is Of the same orde
as "a Celebrated Case" and is full o
excellent situations. Miss Eytinge viii

that Miss Springer loan her a suit OF

FIFTH EDITION.
JOHN SHERMAN'S EATEST
SPECULATION.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir
few months ago the First National
Bank of this city suddenly changed
hands, and several gentlemen who are
well known to have been intimate with
officers of the general Government, and
especially with The ''eminent statesman"
who superintended the operations Of the
Louisiana Returning Board, became its
proprietors. From the time this change
of proprietorship took place in the bank
there seems to have been a mysterious
good luck attending its transac ions, as
marked as that of said Returning Board.
The bank has suddenly become almost
exclusively the very fortunate recipient of
Government favors to the amount of forty
five million dollars without interest,"
Suppose we examine for a moment and
see what this partiality amounts TO. This
bank is made depository of the Govern
ment funds, with power TO receive sub
scriptions to the Government Iour per
cent loan. 1t is allowed commission
of thirty-five cents on each hundred dol
] lars, when the amount of subscription
shall exceed ten millions. or $500 on
every ten million of subscriptions. Now,
simply by entering on the books of the
bank to the credit Of the Secretary of the
Treasury any given sum, and sending an
order to the Secre AIRY for that amount IN
four per cent. bonds, under his rules the
bank would be enti led to have the Gov.
ernment bonds with interest on them
from that date, and not one dollar oi
money need be paid to the Government
by tn bank.
A little calculation will show what al
enormous privilege this Is and just wher,
the little joker comes in. ltismore thar
worthy of that "eminent statesman" VIII,
} successfully managed the Returning
Board. II is not necessary 10 conver
these four per cent. bonds into money o
TO run any iisk of loaning out money OF
/ call , ordinary borrowers, or TO risk thu
failure of banks upon which check
wonld be drawn IN payment, or TO exam
inc TO see If the securities offered 10
loans are all present and genuine. No
this operation Is all clean cut; u Is all IL
"A nutshell The First National Bank o
New York receives forty-tive millions II
Government bonds from the Secretary O
the Treasury, with fifteen thousand seve
/ hundred and fifty dollars for commits
sions.
g The bonds may then be securely lai
q away in the vaults of the bank, an
every six months the hank can cut of tn
coupons and draw from the United State
: Treasury two per cent. in gold, or min
! hundred thousand dollars every 81
o months, without paying one cent G
i money to the Government, or doing any
= thing more than just keeping the bond'
l. Now, If thus is not one of the con
. pletest speculations, will some one II
/. vent a better?
Respectfully yours,

with Jimmy, the door leading into the
din,pg room. They then had the whole
house under their charge, and they ran

leaving nothing untouched except Mr..
Morrow's secretary, in the dining-room,
which, for some unaccountable reason
they faie TO moiest nor did they take
that gentleman, all the stolen articles be-
ing the property of his wife.
The bnrglarious gentry carefully ex'
| amined all the bureaus, stands aud boxes

| all around the floors, and even examined
| the beds. Everything IN the shape Of
jewelry and money they took away
even going To the extent OF roDDlng

The latter left no identify ing IN arks be
