The Union Spy.

The very handsome audiences which
greeted the presentations of this
popular drama ut Bancroft hall last
week, were only fitting recognition
of the merits of the play itself and the
excellent manner in which it was put on
the stage. The recollections of the great
struggle through which the nation passed
less than twenty years ago, for the SUI
premacy of the union, are yet vivid in
the minds of the American people, and
this martial presentment Of the days OF
'81-'65 brought up in review before the
mind of the adult citizen the scenes of
that eventful conflict in a manner that
cannot be appreciated by any save those
who can call to mind the awful interests
with which that memorable period was
fraught.
The indignation and grief of Farmer
Morton as portrayed by Capt Page,
in the first scene, revived the recollection
of the thrill that vibrated through the
heart of the great north when the wires
flashed with the terrible news of the
firing upon Fort Sumpter, and the
angry parting of the Orrs with the
Mortons, but family represented the last
ing feuds which were enGendered be-
tween friends and even brothers by the
fratricidal strife, which for four years,
the south waged against the flag to which
she owed allegiance. The call to arms
i ha fHa ehs.d ~
| the boys in blue for the tented field; the
grief of fathers, mothers, sisters
and wives who sent forth their
sons, brothers and husbands
TO defend the dear old flag; the hard
ships and vicissitudes of camp life, the
terrors of the prison pens of the south
the death of Willie Morton-ali these por.
trayed the dread realities of time when
the hearts of men were failing them for
fear of those things which doomed up
black and ominous in the horizon OF
the future and the gloom of which only
lifted, as the smoke of a hundred san
culinary battles cleared away, giving
place to the light of victory and the
| dawn OF peace.
The different episodes of this exciting
play were well sustained throughout
Mrs. E. A. Moore, as Mrs. Morton; Capt
Page, AS Farmer Morton; B. T. Davis
as Mr.. Orr, and ]. Ii. Flanagan, as
Neighbor Jones, making as venerable q
quartet of old folks AS any
one could desire To see
Col. Temple rs Warren Orr, and John
Henning rs Albert Morton, were well uT
in their respective roles, while the hu
morous passages of the play were adj
mirably interpreted by V. B. Ong, a'
Pussy Jones, and Frank Going, as INCL,
Tom. Miss Ellie Bond did some capt
tai acting as Nellie Morton. and Mis-.
linda Keller, rs the wife of Albert Nor
ton, was pronounced success. Charli,
Russell and Justin Waterbury made fin
young soldiers and acquitted themselves
very handsomely in their respective
roles.
