rectify torpidity of the Liver, give tone
to the Stamach; they act without gripping
upon the bowels; they remove bile from
the blood; they purify, regulate and in.
vigorate the body, thereby preventing
many diseases incident to hot summer

various letters received by the au-
thor. Mr.. A. S. Barnes, the we'll
known publisher, offers to publish
the book in New York or have it
published here for the use of pa
rents and guardians. Several cier-
gymen heartily approve it, and
there are letters from lawyers, mill
tary men, business men and others
commenting the book. Mrs. Sher-
man wrote a second letter in Octo-
Der last saying to the author, "Your
opportunities for seeing and hear
ing the fatal effects of this custom
have been greater than mine. l
have looked on when compelled to
see it) with adherence, but have
not cared to reflect what its precise
results might be, nor to Judge its
effects beyond the utter physical
prostration it produces in its most
innocent votaries and the vitiatien
Of their tastes for any wholesome
amusement. To that | can testify.
The very sight of it, when danced
in the least harmful manner, forces
upon the mind the conviction of
all you state regarding its often Sc
rious results; but rather than aban-
don what all the churches condemn,
they SANDER and persecute the one
who dares to raise a voice against it.
But their sideof the case admits of
no other defense"
Not in the least to put the waltz
on its defense, but to learn if the
: Rochester physician above quoted
was of one mind with prominent
New York physicians, World re-
porters have submitted to them the
physical question raised by him and
, incidentally the accusations brought
{ against the waltz in "The Dance
, of Death" Almost without excep-
ton the physicians agree that dane.
ing, inclusive of the waltz, is pei
Sc harmless. Almost as unani-
a mously they condemn certain of its
common accessories or some of the
I, physical conditions under which il
: is done. The indigestible midnight
a supper is bad, but is not dancing
e and foul air and draughts are bad,
1 but are not dancing. AS to The
immortality, they don't believe in it
4 The views of several clergymen are
+ presented also and speak for them
t selves. The discrimination they
e make between an abuse of dancing
e and dancing per Sc is something
a which the author of the "Dance o
0 Death" " allows in his preface bu
0 scarcely in his book.

Joseph JeHersOn's Opinion of Ihc
Drama

Joseph JeHersOn's opinion of Ihe
Drama.
Appleton's journal for February.l
THE DRAMA" said Mr.. Jefferson,
one day, when l was travelling with
him, "has its ups and downs.
Sheridan's Tom and Jerry, in
which there is not one character,
male or female, which is not a
rogue, fool, or a courtesan, and
in which the lowest slums in Lon
don are represented, used to be
played to audiences consisting of
the very best people in that city.
Corinthian Tom knocked over
poor apple women, and the specta-
tors thought it jolly. No frst-class
comedy would pay. Well, we have
made an advance upon these times,
certainly. The Black Crook, at
Niblo's, you say? Yes, but the
people went to see it, not because
it was bad, but because it had
beautiful scenery and beautiful
dancers and dancing, 1t was the
beauty, not the vice, that attracted
them. 1t was its novelty and
freshness, just as an epicure often
prefers q clam m-bake and an ear of
green corn to the most sumptuOus
dinner. People really like the good
better than the evil; they would
rather see man who is walking a
tight rope succeed than to see him
tumble. Besides, after the Black
Crook in New York, we had Julius
Cesar for one hundred nights.
"The American and English
DRAMA" he continued, "is deficient
in good plays-that is to say, in
plays that are we'll constructed,
that are full Of natural and varied
incidents, that, in a word, are in
teresting. We have some very fine
ones; but we need more of the same
sort. The first principle of the
drama is to entertain if it likes it
may instruct, but certainly it should
not degrade or demoralize. | be-
lieve that some of what are called
the lower order of entertainments
are of value in educating coarse
men up to a point where they can
appreciate a higher order. Such
entertainments bring together a
class Of persons who are not pre-
pared Cor an intellectual treat, yet
who need to be amused in their
leisure hours. How can a man who
enjoys a brutal sport-like cock
fighting, for exsmple-enter into
the spirit of play like The Rivals
or Julius Cesar? An entertain
ment, however, should always be
little above the audience for which
it is intended; it should lead the
audience slightly, not follow the
audience. The future of the drama?
Well, its future will be like its past
"a series of ups and downs. When
art is well paid, art degeuerates;
actors become stars, and gather
their several consultations. When
art is badly supported by the pub.
lie, actors are forced to combine /;
their companies are amalgamated,
and their plays are better played" +"
