TILE ACADEMY.
A Few Words About "Unknown" and
the Troupe.

"A Few Words About sUnknOWn and
tho Troupe.
There was not crowded house, but n fair
attendance Mt the Academy last evening to
hear John A. Stevens's drama OF Unknown .
Mr.. Stevens Is set down on tho hand-biIls us
"the interchangeable actor and author" After
sitting out the play we have como to the con
clson that as far as acting ls concerned Mr..
Stevens comes ag near being tndefatiga-
bio "a any performer that we have ever
seen; In fact hc eeems to have
remarkable powers of endurance we'll suited
to play 10 full Of life, muscle movement,
kicks, cuffs and murders ns Unknown We
hope however, that as an author Mr.. Stevens
Ii not altogether interchangeable, and that there
Ia II chance OF his getting tired some day. We
have already given Il synopsis Of the piece,
which Is III the same style as the usual blood
and thunder drama which all OF us have
heard II hundred times, and which the pit,
gallery and eockloft always receive with en-
thuslasm.
AS m ordinary. composition 1t has tho
quality af halng n good niece Of mOsnlc. the
situations being artfully taken from tho best
authors; In single scene, the vault scene,
for example. Mr. Stevens ncoompllshes tho
difficult feat of presenting, almost stimuli
taneousIy, enatches from Romeo and Juliet
and from King Lear, having with evident
reconciliation, introduced a thunder storm
Tor his King Lear effect. TO sum up, we think
the play comes well lD to tho standard Of tho
average dime novel. and this naturally intro
duces the question, whether the theatre-golng
public ought to DO made to pay d dollar.
In many other cities this kind Of perform
ance can DO attended for from twenty-five to
fifty cents for secured seats, and we do not
SEQ why we should be treated here worse
than others. We only throw out this sugges-
tion to set our theatrical managers to reflect
seriously upon tho eternal fitness of things
Now for o few words about the troupe. It
Ia fully up to It's parts, and runs through the
play very well, oil being Intelligent enough
and knowing their parts we'll.
Miss Lottie Church Is handsome on the
stage, looks sprightly, has ~ good diction and
sans sometimes remarkably we'll.
Mr. ketchum, as Jimmy, with a acerated
heart" Is very funny and possesses many
good qualities asa comic actor. The same
thing, though with less emphasis, may be
said of Mr.. Hawkins, who played Pat, the
Irish servant.
The balance are very fair, and pleasant
evening can be spent hearing them at tho
Academy

The deafcning shouts that quickly
burst upon the air, again and again, and
again echoing and re.echoing, were
only eclipsed by the roar of cannon which
spoke out as if from one voice, in such
laundering peals as seemed to shake the
city. The effect was sublime beyond de-
scription, and eye-witnesses, impressed
with all the circumstances attending this
great political triumph in the history of
the world, declared it one of the most
august and interesting spectacles ever
exhibited. Immediately after the cere-
monies at Federal Hall, the President
and his retinue proceeded to st. Pauls
Chapel, in Broadway, where prayers
were read by Bishop Provost, admirably
suited to the occasion. In the evening
the city was brilliantly illuminated, sur
passing anything of the kind New York
had ever seen.
This entertainment is but foreshad-
owing of coming celebrations of similar
character, arrangements being in progress
for great public meeting on the 30th Of
April next, with the still further view of
en- international exhibition in New York
on the one hundredth anniversary of this
great notable inaugural event to which
all the nations of the world are to be in
vited.

A CHEERFUL. HEART.-A merry or
cheerful countenance was one of the
things which Jeremy Taylor said his enc
emies and prosecutors could not take
away from him. There are some persons
who spend their lives in this world
as if shut up in dungeon. Every
thing is made gloomy and forbid
ding. They 60 mourning and complain
ing from day to day that they have so
little, and are constantly anxious lest
what little they have should escape out
of their hands. They look always upon
the dark side, and can never enjoy the
good that is present for the evil that is to
come. This is not religion. Religion
makes the heart cheerful and when its
large and benevolent principles are ex.
ercised, men will be happy in spite of
themselves. The industrious bee does
not complain that there are so many
poisonous flowers and thorny branches
in his road, but buzzes on, selecting the
honey where he can find it, and passing
quietly by the place where it is not.
There is enough in this world to COM
plain about and find fault with, if men
have the disposition. We often travel
on hard and uneven road but with a
cheerful spirit, we may walk therein with
comfort and come 10 the end of our jour-
ney in peace.

How the National Debt is Paid.

Few are aware that several million
dollars are annually paid the Government
for Revenue Stamps by the manufac-
turers of Proprietary Medicines. Prom
inent, if not first on the books of Inter-
nal Revenue Department at Washington,
stands the name of K. V. Pierce, NJ. D.,
of Buffalo, N. Y. The names, "Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery"
"Favorite Prescription" Pleasant Pur-
gative Pellets" and "Dr. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy" are nearly as well known in
the United States Revenue Office as in
the Doctors extensive Laboratory, in Bu-
falo n. Y. Although the Doctors orders for
stamps amount to many thousand dollars
per annum, yet from this source no exact
estimate of the magnitude of this Doc
tors business could be formed, as the
frequent heavy shipments to Europe and
South America, are made from his bond
ed house. Washington Exchange.
