Lords lat supper, and the betrayal, and the
concluding scene represents the trial ana con-

write on such a subject as this IN the
vein Of usual theatrical criticism. Admitting
even that the presentation was viewed WIN
reverential attention, 1t cannot be accepted
that the theatre is the proper place for
passion play. The leading characters were
admirably portrayed, with the exception OF
that Of Miss May Wilkes, who simply walked
through her part; and some OF the minor
roles were In 50 inefficient hands as to greatly
mar the grandest effects. The scenery was
artistic and the groupings very elaborate, and
the entire production was worthy OF great
praise especially the music that, with Its
beautiful chants and choruses, impaired so

THE LONGEVITY OF QUAKERs.
Interesting Figures showing How Much
Longer They Live Than
other PEOPLE.
IA Quaker In the Pail Mall Gazette.l

IA Quaker In the Pail Mall Gazette.l
The question Of the greater longevity OF the
members OF the Society OF Friends than that
of the population In which they are placed is
OF considerable interest and the citation OF
some figures throwing additional light on it
may be useful In addition to the annual
tabular statements of theineomings by births
and outgoiDgs by death, valuable facts may
be gathered from the working Of the assur-
ance company which exists for assuring the
lives OF Friends and those connected with
them. short time ago an elaborate table
was drawn up from all available sources,
from which the deduction was made that
the mean future lifetime for expectation Of
life) ct birth was In the case OF male
Friend about 45.32 years, the mean among
the general public being 4O.36. In the case
of females the difference was not quite 80
large-that OF the Friend being 45.72 and
Of the general public 4216. But the average
life of the Quaker Is above that of
the mean value, 1t having varied in
recent years from slightly over 81 years
to 58 years. A summary and analysis OF
the age ut death OF members who have died
for more than 30 years show that out OF 943
deaths there were 1853 of persons under the
age OF 80 at death, 2A OF persons who died
between 30 and 60 BIT whose deeease occurred
between the ages OF go and 30, and 80 who died
at the age OF 30 or above, being reputed CEN
tenarians. All attainabe facts prove that
there Is greater longevity among the Qua
kerS than other persons, but there Is room
for very great speculation as to its CAUSES
and as to the probabilities Of its continuance.
1t Is far from generally known that the de-
cline in numbers In the Society Of Friends has
been for many years arrested, aud coinpar-
atively rapid rate OF growth has been expert
eneed. In 1864 the number Of members In
Great Britain was 10, 755; and for some years
that number was not increased by more than
half dozen or so yearly, and that even was
an Improvement on the decrease that had
been known for some years previously. In
the decade ending with 1868 there was no adj
dition to the number of members the deaths
outnumbering the births, and the incoming
by other methods barely supplying the def
cheney. In the decade ending with 1873 the
death rate has still been higher than the
births, but the influx OF members has more
than counterbalanced the loss; and thus the
total number of members Is raised to about
4600-the increase having been the most
marked during the later years.

THE HON. MRS. NORTON.
Mrs. KembIe's RecOilsctiSns of the Gifted
Daughter of sheridan.


When first knew Caroline Sheridan she
had not long been married to Hon. George
Norton. She was splendidly handsome, OF an
un- English character of beauty, her rather
large and heavy head and features recalling
the grandest Greclan and Italian models, to
the latter Of whom her rich colorng and blue
black braids gave her an additional resem-
blanee. Though neither as perfectly lovely
as the Duchess OF Somerset nor as perfectly
charming as Lady Duffern, she produced a
far more striking impression than either of
them by the combination OF the poetical
genius with which she alone, Of the three WAS
gifted, with the brilliant wit and power of
repartee, which they possessed in common
with her. In f841 she was living with
her uncle Charles Sheridan, and still main
tanned her glorious supremacy OF beauty and
wit In the great London world.
In 1916 | again met this remarkable woman,
when her appearance struck me more than IL
had ever done. She had @ rich, gold
colored silk on, shaded and softeEed all over
with black lace draperies, and her splendid
head, neck and arms were adorned with mag
niticently simple etruscan gold ornaments,
which she had brought from Rome, whence
she had Just returned, and where the fashion
OF that famous antique jewelTy had lately
been rivlved. She was still mne beantte tri-
nmphapte. During one OF my last
soloHrns in London | met Mrs. Norton at
Iandsdowne House. There was a great assem-
bly, there, and she was wandering through the
rooms leaning on the arm of her youngest
son, her glorious head still crowned with its
splendid braids of hair, and wreathed with
grapes and Ivy leaves. In the autumn
OF 1870 Lady 9, told me OF meeting her In Lon
don society, now, indeed, quite old, but indom-
ftably handsome and witty.
| think 1t only humane to state for the bene-
fit OF all mothers anxious for their daughters,
and all daughters anxious for their own future
welfare In this world, that in the matter of
what the ladys maid In the play calls "the
ance," Caroline Sheridan, as a girl, was so lit
tie distinguished by the exceptional beauty
she subsequently developed, that her lovely
mother, who had right to be exacting In the
matter, entertained occasionally Responding
misgivings as to the future comeliness OF one
of the most celebrated beauties OF her day.

Yesterday morning when the roll was called
In the city Jail only one Of the inmates was
ready to 20 to work on the streets, and he was
a Chinaman All the white persons in the
Jail nobly refused to work, preferring contine--
ment for twenty-four hours In the dark cell
without fire, blanket or food. Thus do our
proud citizens nobly maintain the dignity OF
labor. while the degraded Chinaman, as his
nature is, surrenders TO base servitude. The
guard went up the street with his lone China
man, who was going to scrape cr0sswalks.
But what could be expected Of a ChinamanI
He'll work, OF course. Not SO the proud
American citizen, who would freeze and starve
rather than work an hour. Weshall be ruined
yet by Chinese cheap labor.

Ia recalled by recent book sale In Dublin
that OF the COokeborough collection. The
highest price realized WAS G51, for copy OF
Lord Kingsborough's Mexican Antiquities"

gan to do business here In 1850, and their
mento streets. During 1853 "a the influx was
very great. In 1860 the total number Of Chi

1870 there were fully 10000 There are now
on this continent about $50. 900 Chinese, 100, 900
