 FALL THE RAGE"
 This evening the great success 'sAll the Rage" will be presented at Goes Opera House. The Boston Traveller, which is excellent au- thority, says of this play: "All the Rage" was given at the Gaiety Theatre last evening, for the first time in Boston. The piece, which is brimfull of fun, begins fast and furious and, through a mixture of ibels, ludicrous situa- tions, love and sentiment the auditor is forced along current of constant action and anticipa- tion until the close of the curtain. We have not the space to enter into detail, as regards these points; suffice it to say that the play, like nearly all others of it's class, needs to be seen in order to be understood, like pleasant dish, to be tasted in order to be enjoyed. The house will be crowded and seats should be se- cured in advance.

THE TOURISTS.


 On next Monday evening ''The Tourists in Pullman Palace Car" will appear at the Grand Opera House. 1.-The Tourists is not alone comedy, but decidedly clever satire on modern railway travel, little extravagant, but none the less enjoyable on that account. Since their last appearance here the company has been materially strengthened and new stage business and songs introduced with the happiest effect. The scene represents the interior of 8 Pullman palace car, superbIy equipped and the various characters are the passengers bound on a trip to the Pacific. While en route numerous Iudicrous scene are presented and the solos, duets, quartets and choruses are sung with spirit by the mem bers of the company. The cast includes Miss Rosa Cooke, Miss Ethel Lynton, Miss Jenette Reiferth, Miss May Livingstone and Messrs W. A. Mestayer, James Boston, J. N. Long, W. H. Brag and Henry Watson. Reserved seats should be secured at loomis'
 LOAN EXHIBITION
 The many who visited the Sunday school rooms and parlors of the Dwight Place church yesterday afternoon and evening were both surprised and delighted at the sights there presented, and each evening the num- bers are largely increased as this fine and rare collection becomes better known. A description here is simply impossible, except to say that nothing has ever exceeded the excellence of this exhibition in this city, and we hope none will lose an opportunity to visit the church during the remaining days of this week. This evening a fine enter tainnent will be given in the church, enti tied Search for Happiness" in connection with the exhibition, without extra charge The admission is placed at 25 cents that all may avail themselves of this rare opportu. nifty to see in few hours the results of many years of careful gleaning.
 AN ARABIAN NIGHT.
 This, the last and best comedy of Au. gustine Daly, will be presented at Goes Opera House tomorrow night. An exchange says of it: The piece is comedy farce libe- rally adapted from the German of Von Moser's ''Haroun al Raschid. Mir. Daly experienced and dextrous handiwork is plainly visible in the adaptation from beginning to end. He has To- calized the framework and strung upon it a succession of intensely amusing scenes, bright ! ened by constant sallies of epierammatio wit, and thrusts of genial satire. The purpose of the construction, if it can be said to have one, is disguised by continuous flow of irresistible | fun. Theintricacies and situations are ingen- l ious and comical beyond description. In | word, the piece has been fitted by Mr. Oaly l with characteristic neatness to the theatrical 1 taste of the hour, taste that demands only | amusement, with the stipulation that it shall be at once brilliant, stimulating and innocuous.

Sir william HarcOurt's Defeat.
London World

The result of the Oxford election is
probably destined to have a great deal
more influence upon party politics than
may be generally supposed. Mr.. Hall
indeed, has little reason to be proud of
the triumph he has won. The whole
struggle has been thoroughly discredita-
BILE to the Conservatives engaged in it,
and the victors are not justified by their
success. In town in which publicans
have more power than parsons or priests
Mr.. Hall is supreme over the publicans.
He is a great brewer and an extensive
owner Of public-llouse property. His
chief supporter is another gentleman who
answers to the same description. The
general election took place at a time I'm
favorable to Mr.. Halls interests. 1t was
Eastern week, and MANY of his hench
men were absent on a brief holiday. The
consequence was that the champion o
the Licensed Victualers and Of the estab
lished constitution in Chnrch and State
was defeated by ten votes. In the inter
val which has elapsed since then prodig
ious efforts have been made to develop
all the latent or the less aggressivel.
prominent forces of beer and Bible. Thu
it is thai the candidate of the publican
and the clerics has been able to wrest tn
seat from the Home Secretary.

Thirty Hours in the Water.
[I,ondon Standard.I

Miss Beckwith, on Saturday night at
10 o'clock, in the presence of a numer-
Gus company of spectators, successfully
terminated her thirty hours continuous
swim in the whale tank Of the Royal
Aquarium at Westminster. BY SO do
ing she has eclipsed all her previous
achievements in the water, and proved
herself to possess powers OF endurance
which, despite what has been accom-
plished by Captain Webb, would still be
considered remarkable in a man, and
most remarkable, indeed, in the case Of
slight, graceful girl, not yet out of her
teens. According to the conditions Of
her self-imposed task, Miss Beckwith
was allowed to leave the water for half
an hour in the thirty hours if she so re-
ouired, but from the time she dived into
the tank, at 4 o'clock on Friday after
noon up to the time she left her place Of
immersion, at 10 o'clock on Saturday
night, she never claimed that ind4ss
ence.
Unlike Capt. Webb, who, during the
progress of his go hours swim at the
Aquarium, adopted generally slow
stroke, and frequently floated in re
cumbent position, Miss Beckwith used ,
quicker method of progression, and var
led the motony of her proceedings BY
several displays Of clever evolutions. l

some times waltzing on the water, and a
others propelling herself, feet first, on it

and spirits. The artificial sea-water wa

A Petulant SIatesman. i.
IPall Mall Gazette,

The defeat of Lord Beaconsield's Gov
ernment not only broke down Prince
Bismarck's combinations in foreign pol
icy, but has also encouraged the Liber-
ais, as we'll as the Chancellor's other or
ponents in Germany to lift up their
heads. One defeat has followed hard
upon another at home. The Emperor
would not permit Prince Bismarck to
pursue an adventurous policy abroad,
and his attack upon the great cities of
Hamburg and Bremen has reused
against him the hostility Of class with
which he has hitherto managed to keep
on good terms. Nor is this all; his re-
cent action in St. Petersburg and in Paris
has not been followed with its wonted
success.
Strange as it may seem, the leading
minds in France are no more willing t
give the Junker statesman credit fo'
straightforwardness than is the combina
tion which is day by day gaining power
in Russia. Thus, for once, the Chancel
lor is unable to play off his masterly ex
ternal management against his notorious
incapacity in domestic affairs. What vii
be the result Of all this it is, Of course
Impossible to say; but the speech which
Prince Bismarck has just delivered dis
plays an amount of irritation which al
most looks like conscious weakness. Fl
consider themselves Indispensable is {
failing even Of some powerful minds
and the fate of Theirs ought never to b.
forgotten by statesmen who are inclinet
to trade upon their necessity to thei
country. Certain 1t is, at any rate, tina
of late Prince Bismarck's petulance ha
not produced the effect which it did Of
former occasions.

THE ENGLISH DRAMA.
A Lecsare ON Iss origin and Rise, ey
Prof. Henry Morley.

Prof. Henry Morley
ILondon standarLl
Prof. H. Morley delivered in the
Royal Institution. on Saturday, the first
Of the FIVE lectures on "The Dramatists
before Shakespeare, from the origin of the
English drlma to the death of Mar
love-" Dealing specially with the
origin of plays and with the first actors,
he began by defining a play. 1t must
be a story of human action, shown by
imagined words and deeds, artfuly de-
veloping and solving a problem Of human
life, and exciting strong natural interest
as to the manner of solution. Further,
it must not be too loae for presentation
at single sitting. Unless every scene
and speech carried on q story, based on
no artificial theory Or ingenuity, but on
natural feeling, the play was bad. This
being the character of true play, the
miracle plays, mysteries, moralities and
interludes of former days were not true
plays, but simply elementary exercises of
mimicry.
1t was commonly taught that eur
drama originated in the miracle plays. a
theory which he combated. Thomas
Wharton, in his "History of Poetry"
suggested, and the idea was developed
by Collier in his History of Dramatic
Poetry" that first there were miracle
plays, then mysteries. then moralities,
and then the true DRAMA Nothing III
the history of literature showed such a
transition. Our drama arose in schools
and colleges. Its foundation was the
drama of the ancients; its opportunity
the revival of learning. Having shown
that the struggle between the theater
and the Church originated in the fact
that ancient plays were associated with
idoIatrous worship, he sketched the his
tory of miracle plays, mysteries, morall-
ties, and interludes. The true drama
did not come out of interludes, but act
ors did. Players of interludes were first
mentioned in 1864. These pieces were
commonly acted by servants in noble
mems houses at desert.
They took up not more than half an
hour, ana were not supposed to stop con-
versation. Describing the manner of
acting an interlude, he read some humor-
ous extracts from Jne called "The Four
P's," by John Haywood. The desire for
gain suggested the practice of public
acting by gentlemen's servants. The ex-
isteuce Of players made it possible to put
the plays on tue stage at once when they
came. "Ralph Roisterdoister," the first
English comedy, was written by Nicholas
Udall, Master of Eton School, between
1884 and 1541. Mr.. Morley read por-
ton Of the piece, which, being probably
acted at the school, gave no impulse to
dramatic writing. That impulse came
when the first English tragedy was pro-
duced in the reign of Elizabeth. "Gor-
boduc," played at the Middle Temple in
1861, and patonized by the Queen for
political purposes. set all the brlefess
barristers writing, and led Immediately
to the development of the English drama

Under the Seas.
IA Naturalist1

OFF the coast of New South Wales we
dredged from 400 fathOms large sea
urchin which had its stomach full of a
sea grass (zostera) derived from the
coast above. Again, we dredged from
between the New Hebrides and Austria
liza, from / 400 fathoms, piece Of wood
and half dozen examples of a Large
palm-fruit as large as an orange In one
of these fruits which had hard, woody
external coats, the aibumen of the fruit
was still preserved, perfectly fresh in ap
pearance, and white, like that of a coco.
anut. The hollows Of the fruit were &C
cupied by TIVE mollusks; the husks and
albumen were bored by teredo-like mol
lusk, and the fbers of the husks hae
,smong them small Rematoid worms.
