BOucicault on the Passion Play

Dion Boucicault writes the following
interesting sketch of the notorious
" Passion Play" which he saw in San
Francisco: 81 saw the Passion Play
at the Grand opera house recently. 1t
was beautiful. The house was very
poor! 1t creates peculiar feeling. Tn
city fathers of San Francisco passed an
ordinance expressly to squelch this per-
Torrance. 1t is contended that they
exercised their constitutional powers in
doing SO, and O'Neil is now before the
Plate of the SLOPE who has not yet
passed Judgment on the matter. Mean
while the management has withdrawn
the play. As there has been no objec-
ton TO Moses in Egypt and The
Prodigal Son, and The Witch of Endor;'
as there is no objection to Elijah
Saul, Paradise Lost all biblical plays,
orateries, ETC., the question arises, where
are we to draw the line2 What biblica
subjects are tolerable, what are tabooed?
II admissible into music and painting
1.-TWO elements of the divine), how much
further into the art may they go?
Where is the line to be drawn? The
principal objection to me in the represen-
tatien ia the vulgsrity OF some of the per-
formers representing disciples. In the
scene representing the Last Supper the
stage is divided thus: On the left is q
fantastic shsnty open to the audience,
big enough to hold the table and form a
frame to De Vinci's picture. The othe
half of the stage is a wood, intended to
represent the Garden of Gethsemane, l
suppose. Well, after supper, Christ
leaves the table and goes outside to pray
During His few words all the disciple
inside simultaneously droop forward
with their faces down on the table
ranged in regimental sleep, rs if the wine
had got the better of them. Judas came
back with two military police officers
and crowd, and Jesus Christ is arrested
at supper. This rather crowds into one
spot and one time incidents that occurred
otherwise. The last scene, the ascent
into Heaven, was an attempt to initiate
the last scene of Faust and Marguerite,
but it was only partially and imperfectly
accomplished. -......

new OElcaus
Two or three Mormon missiona ries,
some say they are from Florida, have
been at work in southern Mississippi
more than year, principally in Jackson
county, preaching MOrmonism and make
ing proselytes. They have planted a
Mormon church at Three Rivers and one
at Bluff Creek, and one somewhere near
Dog River. At Bluff Greek they bsp-
tized and received into the church thir-
teen in one day. Their converts are, az
a matter of course, among the most illit-
crate and benighted in these pineland
regions in the rear of the coast. The
Rev. Mr.. Smith claims to be relative
of the celebrated 10 Smith, the distin,
ouisbed Mormon leader and prophet.

Mississippi do nOt,.call themselves Nor

stir up 3 deep interest among their new
converts in regard to the terrible events

Alongside of a Tornado.

A correspondent of the Leavenworth
Times, writing from Sslina, Kansas, has
this curious item about the late tornado:
" At the head of the Mulberry creek,
about twenty miles northwest of here, a
cyclone followed up the creek, going at
the rate of thirty miles an hour. An
old man walked at the side of it for
one hundred and sixty rods, and states
i. was perfectly calm on his side, bns
on the other that it was tearing trees
and everything that came in itz way,
carrying them into the sir about one
hundred and fifty feet and tesring then

tions ?''
Sidonie only laughed
After her cousin was gone she read the
poems through hastily. Then sat down
and wrote long, heartfelt, enthusiastic
letter, at which she could not help
laughing. The letter cost her some
trouble; she brought it, however, to
completion, and hurried out to carry it
to the poStofice.
What harm can it do" she thought.
And for many years she had not gone
to bed with such hopeful, happy heart.
There are very few authors who can
leave letter overfowingwith praise and
enthusiasm unanswered, for masculine
vanity is great.
How natural that our young poet, half
beside himself with Joy at the first letter
of admiration, should sit down at once
to answer it.

edge that man and life are trife rude

prettily and enthusiastically, charmed
him. He begged an answer and was sue
cessful. .. ..
Photographs were exchanged and at
last they came to the conclusion that
they must become acquainted. Sidonie,
whose practical mind shrsnk from any
mystery, let her mother into the secret,
and obtained permission to invite the
young man to the house.
He came and Sidonie conquered. he
found her little different than he ex-
pected. In writing one can always diss

but solely and only for brilliant wed.
ding was daily disturbance.
But the girl knew how to chatter so
prettily and looked so charming, that
she soon had the susceptible young poet
over head and ears in love with her. 1t
was not delayed long, and Sidonie
reached her longed-for gosl-they were
welded.
The newly married couple journeyed
to Italy; Sidonie had already seen Paris.
They returned after several months to
Vienns--he all love, she all happiness
that she might at last wear diamonds and
silk dresses-,and not a little tired of
hearing the many, many, poems that her
handsome husband dedicated to ner and
for which she must necessarily appear
interested.

1t cannot last forever, thought Siso-
nie-so one morning she arranged the
writing table of her husband and threw
out whole load of unpublished poems,
which were carefully laid one upon the
other, and specified to be sent to the
publishers.
Quietly, Sidonie seized the pile and
threw it in the Ere.
When her husband came home, the
following dialogue took place
"Do you know what l have done,
Carl w
"Well ?"
But you must not be sngy.'
"Whst is it, then?'
"But you must not get angry. Ihsve
burned your manuscript"
Carl turned pale
"My poems?" he stammered.
" Yes, your poems. They were of no
use"
Yes-but were they worse than my
first ones?'"
"No; not exactly 1.-THE first ones
were of no use either.
Carl is SPECIFICS.
SiGonie draws the astonishsd msn to
her side on the sofs, and embraces him
tenderly.
"Iknow what you would say" she
whispers, Why did write to you
al will be truthful, and she pictured
to him her sad girlhOod, snd pictured it
30 desolate, so sad, that he wss already
half convinced.
I" 1 perceived from your poems that
you were no poet, but noble, excellent
man." said she in conclusion. " For
this reason | wrote you. You are 80
loving, so good, thst it seemed like sin
to leave you longer in error. A stranger
could deceive, but NV husband
never!
&" In the end this deceit has led 70 our
happiness. Did it not, Carl? For
love you and you love ire so very
much.
al cannot reconcile myself 10 my
husbands spending his time, his knewl-
edge, over something worthless. 1
wish you TO turn yourself toward earnest
work and give up writing poetry.
Carl. if you do not wish me to perish
from sorrow and pain, stop looking st
me so unkindly. IfIhsve lost your love
through my confession, tell me; then i
will 90 awsy and die. l must confess it
all, Carl"
No: he was not sngered by her confes-
sion, though it gave him no Joy. He
fergave her half and hslf.
And while Carl by exception wss a
most modest man, he saw sitter s little
while that she was right, that his poems
were worth nothing. And his pretty
Young wife, always fresh and amisble,
made him so happy, what wonder is it
that he st last forgsve her 90 fully that
he could laugh when they looked back
and spoke of the time when she pre-
tended to be interested in his poems.
And 50 the girls stratagem bore good
fruit. Her parents were freed OF 81
