THE THEATRE LAST NIGHT-THE GALLEY
SLAvE.-Bartley Campbell's fine PLY the
Galley Slave was presented last evening TO
only fair audience, and IL is subject OF
regret that work OF merit like this should
have received less favor than many of the
trashy performances which have visited the
Theatre this season.
The play possesses strong dramatic ac-
tion and effects, and was handsomely put
upon the stage and acted by Mr.. Camp
bells company Of New York actors. Tue
dressing of the ladies' was very elegant,
and the personation of each character was
entrusted to good artists. Nine. Maieroni
Is an accomplished actress, and she threw
into the character OF Francesca Remini q
fire and depth of feeling that seemed al
most real, and which mast have portrayed
the authors most perfect ideal. Miss Gus

ed her no little in the clever impersonation

as DR.. Oliphant was capital. His acting in
the scene when be is entrapped by the
Widow Gay was irresistibly funny and made
the first step towards warming up the inter-
est OF an audieoce which up TO that time had
been cold and impaSsiye. Mr.. Frank Evans
is admirably cast as Sidney Norcott, for
while he has sufficient force in his acting,
he does not not oyerdo: the hero OF the play.

ton, played their parts acccpiably, and
Messrs. Wade, Burns. and Webster, are
good actors. But we were especially pleased
with the EDglishman of Mr.. G. h. Waite.
His acting is easy aud natural, and in pOr-
traying the English gentleman, he happily
did not deem il necessary 10 give the broad
cOckney, as 80 many do, for fear their
audience may not understand what nation
ality they are representing and think their
acting stupid.
The Galley Slave as interpreted by this
company is well worth seeing, and we trust
it may be witnessed tonight by an audi
ence as large as its merit deserves.

Tree Planting and Preservation.

1t avails little during the winter
months to urge the arboricultural in
terests of the country upon those who.
! by the nature of the case, are response.
BILE for their advancement or retro
/ erosion. 1t is difficult in the dead
season to impress the public with the
utility and value of tree life in our
social and industrial economy. The
trees, whether standing alone or in
societies, look bare and unintereSting
in their leallcss state, and with good
wood and lumber market, the farmer
feels little conjunction in stripping
his lands for the sake of putting more
ready money in his pocket. For
esthetics he cares little, and he has
not yet come to accept the scientific
fact that trees are as essential to the
health of community and the tertil-
ity of the soil as they are to the beauty
of the landscape. The case is deli
cate one. \ man may pull down his
buildings if he pleases, and why may
he not cut down the trees upon his
own land? 1t is hardly enough to reply
that in the former case his own inter
ests only are affected, while in the lat
ter the interests of the community
suffer. Self protection is almost sl-
preme law of society, and would. there
fore, justify the restriction of the few,
perhaps, for the benefit of the many:
and yet it would not be easy to make
restrictive statute whose justice would
be acknowledged by those who have
rich timber lands to sell.
Coaxing will effect more in the long
run than combulsion: and the hope Of
reward is a more healthful influence in
a community than the fear of punish
ment. 1t is not easy to prevent owners
of marketable timber tracts from dis
posing of their possessions in the wav
that seems most advantageous to them
selves; but it is comparatively easy.
providing public spirit is aroused, and
public opinion made harmonious on this
question, TO encourage tree planting.
This is best done, perhaps. by offering
premiums to those who fulfil certain
conditions, and larger premiums to
those who show the most enterprise
and zeal in behalf of this important in
terest. Where village Improvement
societies have accomplished the most,
this method has generally been the one !
to fill the town with handsome
shade trees. Where a quick growth is
desired. the ash, horse-chestnut, tulip |
tree. willow and ten or dozen other |,
might be suggested; but there
seems to be nothing in our latitude that |
patient waiting better than the
maple and the elm. An exchange sue-
gests Lombardy poplar. We would as
soon think OF encouraging weeping
willow IN the lawn or dooryard; one is
like a phantom, the other shroud.
The trees now opening into leaf and
lower ought to plead their own canse
better than we can do i. Nature is
holding her court and they are the
courtiers. The man who does not en-
tertain conservative feeling toward
hem IS an enemy of society.-Boslon

Indian Rain.Maxers.

"Speaking Of rain-makers among our
people and the Creeks says the Cher
okee -adrocats, '.they had them in all
the tribes. Many years ago we were
returning home from journey, and at
the ford of the Illinois River. seven
miles from town, we found large
gathering of Creek Indians, these that
then lived below Park Hill They were
in gay attire. Some of our pc ople were
present. who informed us that they had
gathered for the purpose of making it
rain We halted to see what next
Two elderly men retired short dis
lance, and they appeared to be num-
bling prayers, we presume conjuring is
the name for it. but after some time a
fire was made ON the bank, when these
two conjurers gave an order and
young man plunged into the river; the
river was very deep, and when he came
up he had blue catfish in his hand,
which was taken by one of the two old
men and thrown into the fire There
was profound stiffness while the fish
was being consumed There was more
aud other strange ceremonies
going on when we resumed our jour
ncy. II rained that night
