as dramatic and peeuniary success, the
critics to the contrary, notwithstanding.
These gentlemen so uniformly denounce all
native plays-by way, doubtless, OF en-
couraging the development of the American
drama-that managers here anticipate their
denunciation as matter-of-course, and
despise it.
VARIETIES.
Ira G. Whitney, a prominent merchant
in Duane street, and himself New Eng
lander by birth, was so much pleased with
Ben Maginley's personation of Deacon
Crankett that he gave him handsome
lunch party at the Lotus Club the other
day, inviting number of scribes and pro-
fessional men to meet him. The party was
very agreeable, sparkling with good-fellow
ship, wit and champagne.
The dramatic event of the season thus
far was the production of Sardous . Daniel
Rochat" last Saturday evening, at the
Union Square. 1t was sumptuously mount
ed and exeellently cast, as everything is at
that theater, aud pronounced very inter
esting by crowded and intellectual au-
dience. The piece turns, you know, upon
the love of a nationalist, or in6del tRochat),
for very orthodox American LEA Hen
dersonl and upon his effort to make her
content with merely civil marriage, while
she demands a religious service also, before
the consummation of the nuptials. In the
end they separate without such consum-
nation. The drama is fine and strong,
though with very little action. 1t might,
in ordinary hands, prove failure, but
with the excellent Union Square company
it draws like magnet. | have observed
as sign of the times that Rochat's infidel
opinions are more vigorously applauded
than LEAFS orthodox sentiments. The
piece, however, is emotional, not precep-
tive 1t seems destined to long run.
Samuel j. Tilden is said to be well salts
fed at heart with the very discouraging
prospects of the Democracy. He has not
forgiven his party for rejecting him at
Cincinnati in obedience to the dictates of
John Kelly, and the defeat of Hancock will
not give him a particle of uneasiness. When
his party g condoned fraud he knew it
could not succeed.
When Edwin Booth went to Europe last
summer, he thought of playing first in Ger
many. But prominent Englishmen have
auVlseu MN, sIncs his arrival +u Louuoh,
to appear there first because his perform
ance in Germany would hurt him on ac-
count of the strong anti-German feeling in
England He had intended to make his
debut as Richelieu or Bestuccio, though
it was decided that he should essay Ham
let, to show his naturally fine person, and
likewise to confront the tiger in his jungle
in other words, meet Henry Irving on his
own ground without fear or favor.

a PROFESSOR OF CELTIC LANGUAGES.
By recent order of the Court of Chan
Gerry in Ireland, says the Atheneun, an an
nual sum of about f35 is to be intrusted to
the Royal Irish Academy for the establish
ment and remuneration OF Professor of
Celtic Languages This amount, it APP
pears, is derived from sum collected for
memorial to the late Rev. James Todd.
d. D., author of Life of st. Patrick, !"
ETC. Under the Chancery order the Pro-
fessors are to be appointed at stated inter-
walls by the Academy, to lecture upon SUBJ
jects prescribed for them in connection
with Celtic languages. 1t seems that some
of the subscribers to the fund considered
the amount available too small for a Pro.
fessorship, in view of what has been done
in that direction in Scotland and at Ok
ford, and they were in favor of having the
money applied to the publication of a
valuable Irish manuscript, to be presented
to public libraries as memorial of DR..
Todd.

CIarksviIIe schools at the Centen-

We have already stated that
among the attractions at the centen-
NAL an exhibit had been formed of
maps, drawings, examination pa
pers, ETC., executed by pupils in the
schools throughout the state. Quite
a number of objects were sent up
from GAINESVILLE, and among them
a number of drawings in perspect-
i've. Since then we have seen an
elaborate report made by a person
employed by the Nashville Ameri-
can for the purpose, and the contri-
buttons from our public schools are
pronounced at least equal to those
from any other establishment, es-
peciaI notice being made of the per-
spective drawings.
This is distinction for which
the schools owe gratitude to Prof.
Moseley, who has introduced the
subject Of perspective drawing with
out neglecting other studies, and
made some of his pupils quite cred
liable proficients in it. 1t is at once
an interesting and amusing art, and
one that can be made useful in al
most every occupation in life.

meininger,s SECOND Concerl.


A repetition of Prof. Meininger'i
concert having been very generally
called for, he issued his new pro
gram for Friday, the 18th. Thii
consisted partly of a repetition o
the former concert, partly some
gems Of melody not produced be
fore.
Instead of the overture he gave
US Gloria ia Esrcelsis, from one o.
Mozart's masses (the 18th, we be,
lieve), which was sung by the cho.
rus with much spirit.
Miss Adams substituted Doni-
zetti's leading aria, from Lucrezi0
for the cavatina of Rossini, which
she gave US at the former concert ;
She no longer needs the excuses we
then made for her on the score OF
nervousness and timidity. She has
acquired the confidence in herself
which was all she lacked, and she
delivered the beautiful music with
exquisite taste and with perfect
command of all its difficulties. She
lacks nothing but practise to make
her a finished vocalist.
The concerted vocal music was
much improved by the accession of
Miss Garland to the choir, whose
fine contralto voice and broad meth
cd of vOcalization gave a valuable
finish to the trios Of Rossini aud
Owen for female voices.
Miss POstOn sang the same pieces
as at the former concert, viz, the
cavatina from IFagiata, the Infiam-
matus and the duo from Rossini's
ISta6dt Mater. Our remarks on that
performance are here repeated with
the addition that with Increased
practise and confidence, the execu-
ton of the music has been much
enhanced.
One addition most welcome to all I
was the "Last Rose of Summer"
sung by Mrs. Barker, who for once
returned to the stage she had so am
ply graced before under another
name, in compliance with the
mueh-urged entreaties of numerous
friends.
No piano music had been put on
the program, for reasons stated to
the audience, but those reasons hav-
ing been in a measure set aside, she
gracefully volunteered two piano
solos, one pOlOnaiSe by Chopin, in
C-sharp minor, the other fine tram
scription of the Mlserere in 7rora-
tore, by Prudent. The appropriate
which she gave to two
such widely contrasted compositions
finely exhibited that versatility of
taste which is as marked a charac-
teristic of Mrs. Meininger's playing
as her perfect execution.
The chorus sang with precision
all the music assigned to it, and we |
will only suggest one Improvement |
which is that the four gentlemen
who sing bass will put little more |
vim in their otherwise excellent |
performance.
We have one acknowledgment to |
make which we omitted at the last |
concert, that of the valuable though |
unseen services of Captain Howard |
as manager. People can always |
perceive quickly enough those jars
and distractions which so frequent |
ly mar the effect of amateur per-
but where these are alb
sent they remain ignorant of the in
dustry and watchful care by which |
they are prevented. We have the |
greatest pleasure, therefore, in rec
the valuable though I'M
services of Captain III.
in carrying the two concerts |
through. These acknowledgements |
we make in the name both of Prof. |
and in that of the ladies
of the Trinity church.
