orH's rHEArRE-..ouR AMERICAN COUSIN"

Miss Louise Leighton
Tom Taylor's well known comedy Of "our Ameri-
can Cousin was produced last evening at Boofhs
Theatre with a new Asa Trenchard and new Dun
dreary. The audience large and appreciatiye
one, despite the rain.
1t was bold venture to present play so familiar
in New York and so identified with Mr. Sothern, but
much of the original text is restored the
performance last evening a success. Originally
the part of Asa Trenchard the most important
role in the comedy and as played by Mr. Jefferson u
the pivot around which all of the other charac-
tiers revoved When Mr. Sothern appropriated the
piece Asa sank to the second third place, and
the real movement of the piece was diverted and
changed to suit the star part Mr. Hardenberg plays
Asa Trenchard very much like Mr.. Jef,ersons crea-
tion and by far the best exponent of the char
acter since the latter gentleman abandoned it for Rip
Van Wrinkle. This is high praise but deserved We
wish we could say the same of Mr. Parkes Dun
dreary. Mr. Sothern adopted long coat more through
accident than anything else and usually discarded it
after the first Mr. Parkcs goes to the other
extreme and the ridiculous ulsters he wore in
1.-The Big Bonanza" with colored handkerchiefs
hanging from eight or ten pockets. He does not
present a caricature Mr.. Sothern does but bur-
lesque Of that gentleman in the part Still he made
the audience laugh. and a the remainder remainder
the piece ran smoothly. Mr.. swinburne
was an excellent Abel Murcott and Miss Isle was
most charming Florence. while Miss Don played
Mary Meredith with ndsrcte that was delicious.
Mr.. Stearforth Lieutenant Vernon has very little
to do. and did it badly. Mr.. Sidney Smith as
Binney well made up and amusing. his
drunken scene being SO good as TO secure
him recall; but he plays Buddicombe without
any change of costume, though the two were
twins. We noticed some glaring anachronisms be-
tween the and the text For instance Florence
reads Murcotts letter. asking her to meet him in
the picture gallery, while the interview really takes
place in the dairy yard; and the lover
of Augusta is omitted altogether, though
she is supposed in the last scene to
be engaged to him. little attention to these
and other details to preserve the unity
Of the action. Judging from the applause last night
may expect to good houses during the remain
der of the week. The play is well mounted and the
ladies wear some superb costumes.

CONGRESSIONAL CONTESTS.
The Republican Hunt for Campaign Ma
teriaI for 1880.

Washington Special to the Baltimore Sun.
The Republican managers have de-
termined to raise a fund to enable the
Republican candidates in all the con-
gressional districts of the South where
the negroes are in the majority to con-
test the seats awarded to their Demo
cratic competitors. The candidates in
one district of North Carolina, three
of South Carolina, and two or three in
Mississippi, were eolored lei They
and the white Republican candidates
in the South are generally persons des-
titute of pecuniary resources, and,
therefore, unable to bear the expenses
of contests. The plan which has been
formed isto raise a considerable amount
of money here and throughout the
North, to be expended in taking testi-
mony and the gathering Of information
in the districts which the Republican,
assume to think they ought to have
carried. The number of these districts
is between twenty and thirty. BY the
expenditure of money the Republican,
will be enabled to get such testimony
as they want, both as to quantity and
quality. 1t is not SO much that they
expect this matter to be of any avail il
contests before the house of represen-
tatives, but it is intended to be useC
as campaign material in the North anC
West, and, it is hoped, will last up t
the Presidential election.

AT Zabrze, in Upper Silesia, a letter
directed to a man named Polka, to be
delivered into his own hands, was
given up 10 his wife. Being very large
and thick, and fastened with tape, it
excited her curiosity. On pulling one
of the ends of the tapefor the purpose
of opening the letter, there was a
frightful explosion. Frau Polka was
thrown down and severely injured, and
all the windows in the house were
broken. As far as has been discovered,
from the fragments aftoTward picked
up, it appears that the letter contained
some explosive substance, either dyn-
amite or nitro-glycerine, and a cap
and needle for its ignition, with which
the tape communicated. The author
az the crime has not yet been caught
hut whoever he be, he has not YET
given up his intention to destroy
Polka, for he has written a letter t
the latter's employer, threatening t.
repeat the attempt on his life if he il

Dean Stanley and Geo. Peabody.

Harper's Weekly
Apropos of the warm friendship that
is known to have existed between the
late George Peabody and Dean Stan
ley, the following incident, which oc-
Cured at the farewell reception given
to the dean by Cyrus w. Field, is not
without interest: When Mr.. George
H. Peabody, a nephew of the philan-
thropist, was presented to the dean, the
latter, throwing his arm around his
neck, said II was in Naples when
your dear uncle died in London, at
the residence of Sir Curtis N. lamp
son. | deeply regretted not being
present at the dcath-be of one whom
loved so much. l Immediately tele-
graphed to London, requesting that
Mr.. Peabody be buried in Westmin-
ster Abbey, which was done. | never
made that request for any other man.
The desire of the queen and the peo-
pie Of England was that the remains
of the great humanitarian should for
ever rest in the Abbey" The dean
added 81 have a picture of him,
which was presented to me by Mr..
Robert G. Winthrop and others in
Massachusetts,, which / shall pTesent
to the queen Of England, as her love
and respect for Mr.. Peabody were
great"
