THE nAvARIAN PASSION PLAY.
A Description OF Joseph Mayors
Acting OF the Part Of Christ.

Acting OF the Fart Of Christ.
London Timesl
Joseph Mayer portrayed his sacred or
igiual with what must have seemed to the
greater part Of the spectators wonder
full degree Of verisimiitude, and. indeed,
no one could have seen him hanging OH
the cross without being fairly amszed at
the accuracy with which the traditional
likeness in all things had been copied to
the very life; but, nevertheless, there
was decided want of some element in
his speech and demeanor which bolder
and more intellectual actor would essay
to supply. At the second representation
Joseph Mayer, if anything, had rather
improved in his high part. every action
in particular requiring the accompani-
ment of few or no words being executed
with great ease and the proper degree of
dignity. The washing Of His disciples
feet, His agony in the garden, His meek
submission to stripes and insults, His
look and attitude before his accusers, the
forcible expulsion of the changers
from the Temple, and His hearing of the
cross, as well as His pendent attitude
thereon, where all exceedingly well-per-
formed in a way which. while proper to
the dignity of the character, could
hardly offend the most sensitive religious
feeling.
The taking down from the cross, on
the other hand, is no inconsiderable tri-
umph of what might almost be called en-
gineering skill, nothing being wanted to
invest the scene with vivid realism,
though sense of decided relief is felt,
when the central figure, with the flank
ing malefactors, is safely brought to the
ground. The sound of a hammer behind
the curtain is all that assists the fancy to
realize the mailing to the cross. Probably
the only marked instance in which
Mayer successfully aims at dramatic
effect is when, with deep and agonized
sigh, distinctly audible by all the audi
ence, he drops his head and dies; and
then his rigid suspension for about
twenty minutes is admitted by all to be
masterpiece Of gymnastic art, nor does
the stiffness in his limbs relax while he
is being wrapped in the costly linen by
Joseph of Arimathea, a well-plaved char
acter, ard carried to the sepulchre.

The opening of the new hotel in Ira
falgar Square marks one stage in what
is called Americanization in London.
Our cousins tell us that we have not sue
ceeded in developing the genuine article;
but we have certainly made good many
steps in that direction. Whether the
change is or is not an improvement may
be settled by those wise persons who
have made up their minds as to the true
significance of modern progress. It is
curious to remark that the alteration in
the character of English inns was almost
the sole case in which even Macaulay
could not preserve his entire compla-
cency when comparing our own time
with that of our ancestors. He tries to
reconcile himself to the admission Of our
relative inferiority by the doubtful con-
sideration that good inns mean bad
roads.
at is evident" "he says, "thatall other
circumstances being equal, inns will be
best where the means Of locomotion are
worst" In the seventeenth century a
traveller required IL to 13 meals and five
or six nighls lodging between York and
London. Now he finishes his journey
between breakfast and dinner, and his
meals are taken1if the word 'meap be
not dishonored by applying it to such
miscellaneous feeding) during the
wretched ten minutes for refreshment.

CATION as it is stakeholder circum-
stances" will certainly not be equal when
locomotion becomes easier. Improved
means of travelling implies an increased
number Of travellers; it means in this
particular case that whole classes which
used to be sedentary have become mov-
able, and that those who move. move
ten times as often as before. If people
make fewer stoppages between London
and York, there can be no doubt that
the number of people in want of lodg-
ing somewhere has increased at a much
greater rate than the total population.
If the old roadside inn is deserted, the
inns in the great centers have done much
more than simply absorb the custom Of
their predecessors-they have tapped new
sources of demand.

Mashed on AN Actor.

Since the death of John Brougham
any number of gentle incidents in his
life have been recalled. One of these il
noteworthy. After he had played here
some time, says New York paper, he
became a marked favorite on the stage,
particularly with women, who were cap
tivated by his handsomeness, his grace,
and his vivacity. He received, of course,
many letters, flowers, and mementoes of
the romantically-silly sort, to which he
paid no attention. One of these dreamy
adorers signed her own name to her bill
lets, and wrote repeatedly, despite the
discouragement of silence. She W 8
very desirous to meet the comedian,
beseeching again and again the privilege
of an interview. Finally, Brougham
named time and place for their meet
ing. She came promptly, and proved to
be very young, decidedly pretty,
and of good social position. She
was well educated and clever, too; but
her judgment and common sense had
been warped by the morbid sentiment
that belongs to such an age. Instead of
making love to her, he read her moral
lecture; talked to her literally like a
father; pointed out the great danger of
her conduct, and told her most men
would take advantage Of her innocence.
"It sounds very egotistic," he added,
'for me to say it, my child, but all ac-
tors are not John Broughams." She
was moved to tears and to the deepest
gratitude by his kind counsel, declared
that he had opened her eyes to her folly,
and that she would not be guilty of it
again. She kissed his hand at parting,
and went away, it is said, completely
changed. A year or two after she was
married. She invited the comedian, as
the story runs, to her wedding, but be
did not go. He had been much attract
ed to her, and he knew enough of human
nature to know that under the circum-
stances prudence, if not safety, consisted
in his keeping away. John. .Brougham
was man of the world, but he was also
a man Of heart; and, above all, man Of
honor.

Edgar EaWcett.
New York Times. |

Edgar Fawcett, the young poet and
novelist, has fallen into the clutches OF
Jenkins, who has fastened upon him
long enough to tear his individuality to
pieces and present them to the public.
Fawcett is portrayed as Of medium
height, solidly, though proportionally
built. with rather square head, dark
eyes, forid complexion, black hair and
mustache, 93 years old, native of the
City, and graduate Of Columbia. He
began writing when lie was only s, and
from that time until he had reached IA,
he produced any number Of astonishing
tales, the scenes being laid in countries OF
which he was, as may be inferred, totally
ignorant. He has been very diligent
contributor in verse and prose to periodi-
Gals for seven or eight years, and has
steadily enhanced his reputation.
At the age of twenty-four he pub
lished volume Of juvenile poemswhich,
like most youthful publications, attracted
and deserved little notice. Two years
later he printed "Purple and Fine

the truth about certain social wrongs.
Then came ELLEN Story" tale Of
fashionable seaside life, and it met with
general favor. He has just issued "a
Hopeless Case" a comedy of manners,
as be calls it, that is much praised. His
recent volume of poems, entitled "Fan .

adverse criticism on the part Of
divers newspaper critics. and he
has finished two or three other dra-
mas, which will soon be acted. Ono Of
these is "Arnold and ANDRE" in blank
verse, which Clara Morris admircs ex-
ceedingly, and in which she wishes to
personate the heroine. The most anbi-
tious Of Fawcett's novels is "Ruther-

THOSE DIAMONDS.
Final Disposition OF the KhedIye's
Present TO Mrs.. Fitch.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
by the way, do you know what has
become of the famous diamond neck
lace which was presented to General
sherman's eldest daughter, by the Khe-
dive of Egypt, on the occasion of her
marriage to Lieutenant Fitch?n said
the Enquirer man to Nj. Patton, the
diamond merchant, yesterday.
81 do" was the reply. "a sister of
General Sherman called at my office one
day this week and l asked her the same
question. She repeated to me the his
tory of the famous necklace, from the
time of its reception at the New York
Ctistom-house until its final disposition.
1t is generally known that the duties
which the custom-house officers demand
ed OF Lieutenant Fitch, before they
could deliver the magnificent present,
would be something over $40, 900, the
lowest estimate placed on its value by
experts being 5000 600. Lieutenant
Fitch not being a man of means, was
Unable to pay this sum. An enabling
act was then passed by congress, au-
thorizing the custom house officers to
deliver the diamonds to Mrs. Fitch free
of duty. After this the necklace was
sent to Washington, and with General
Sherman's sword, deposited in the I'm
tied States treasury for safe keeping.
Upon further inquiry Lieutenant Fitch
ascertained that the yearly taxes on the
diamonds in st. Louis county, where he
then resided, would be much more than
his salary, and he once more found
them al elephant on his hands. His
father-in-law, General Sherman, took
pity on the boy and returned the neck.
lace, with thanks, to the donori in Egypt.
Upon receiving them the Khedive wrote
to the general, saying that it was not
his desire the diamonds should be given
to any one member of his family, and
having learned that he had four daugh-
ers, it was his wish them that the dia-
monds should be mounted in sets, and
divided equally between them. These
daughters are Mrs. Fitch nee Minnie
Sherman, Ella Sherman, Lizzie Sher-
man and Rachel Sherman. The neck
lace wa then returned to the Sherman
family and mounted in four magnificent
pendants, four pairs of splendid soli-
taire earrings and eight rings. These
four ladies are now the happy posses
sors of four complete suits of diamonds,
the value of each suit being at least
$4,000. This makes each of them rich
in her own right, through the generos-
ity of Epypt's ruler.
