The eight-to-seyen hand so success
fully played at Washington by the wise
men forming tho committee which as
certained the will of the people without
the formality Of getting in tho rear OF
anything particular, and which also
took all the "tricks" in the subsequent
Louisiana Senatorial game, appears in
the latest deal to have been gobbled
by the enemy. and poor Pacheco, who
never in his life either made, or un.
made, President. has been made. the
innocent scapc.goat of those who did.
L; :hs Houses hand. the eight points
were held by the enemy, and with the
exalted and honorable examples of the
Superior Court and dignifed Senate,
it excused the Ex-Governor and install
led his opponent.
The only material difference discov-
erable in the line of action on the part
of the three august bodies referred to,
is that the House was more brave than
the other two, having not the reinotest
dread of those awful returns, but fear
lesly got behind 'em.

The New York critics pronounce the
acting Of Count Johannes and Avonia
Fairbanks in their rendition Of Shaks-
perian characters, as simply intolera-
BILE, but the following detailed account
Of their recent appearance ut the SLY
ceum" in Richard III, is in evidence
that they possess the qualities that
draw" even though Of negative
character. Referring to the Counts
appearance in the role Of Richard, 1t
is stated that all sorts of nonsense was
indulged in by the audience, and when
the orchestra played, Sweet Bye-and-
Bye" the entire audience insisted unon
singing three verses. The greater part
OF the performance passed in dumb
show. Once the Count lost his self.
control under the jeering fusilade, and
shaking his fist ut the collective mis-
chief makers, pronounced it "an infer
nal scoundrel." Miss Fairbanks Jared
no better. She came forward and made
the statement that she would horsewhip
n certain recalcitrant critic il he would
send his card.
"Hamlet' was attempted Saturday
night. and the theatre was packed full;
hundreds being unable to obtain seats,
turned away. The scene even surpas.
sed the priyious night for confusion.
The audience sang and requested Ham
let to do all sorts o. impracticable
things. Some one in tho gallery threw
an egg which struck Poionius in the
folds of his dress and rolled unbroken
on the carpet. He stepped to the foot
lights and said: 1.-The man who threw
that egg is damned scoundrel. At
tho conclusion OF the play the Count
came before the curtain and said: "As
Shakespearian scholar, permit me
to express my appreciation of your
appreciation of the play Of Hamlet"
The attempt to parsonate the charac-
ters selected by these wuuld-be Stars,
is evidently regarded us the brGadest
kind of farce, and the manager is
reaping an abundant harvest from the
utter discontinue Of the lampooned
luminuries. F".
