The DRAMA.

BOOTHS THEArRE-MICHAEL STROGOFF
Against the adversely of debiitatng heat. the
melodrama of " Michael Strogoff" was last nicht
presented-to large and pleased audience at
Booths Theatre-fOr the first time in America II,
was received with cordial favor, and it ought IN
have. and probably will have, long ca
reer in popularity. 1t may be described as
the dramatic synopsis of novel: and
experience has shown that this kind of n
composition is never entirely satisfactory as plav
full enjoy ment of such a work being largely de-
pendent on the previous reading of the novel that
was ITS source. Michael Strogoff" however is not
only dramatic synopsis, but a brilliant pageant
and its pageantry sufces to obscure if not 10 hide
its defects as drama. All along its course there
are stirring situations and splendid pictures and
haif concealed within these, there is a thread of
animated story The Incidents dvesed of pctori nj
accessories and welded more compactly together nv

noble as even the great drama of "PatrieD and
quite as pressivey illustrative of the grandeur of

gala scenes, dances, battle tableaus and episodical
materials, they are so far separated that

THE EGYPTIAN DISCOVFRIES.

We reprinted from tho London papers on
wednesday accounts of the wonderful djscoy-
cry lately made near Thebes of great store of
Egyptian antiquities, including mummes of
kings and queens of the Seventeenth, Eighteenth
and Ninet eenth Dynasties, historical papyri
statuettes, and cartouches No single find of
such value as this, if we are not mistaken. has
ever been brought to light since modern science
and curiosity first began to pry into the tombs
and ruins In the Valley of the Nile. The relics
were found In a cave some miles from Thebes
IL seems that the cave and its contents were
discovered years ago by IA fellah, who with his
three brothers long drove a profitable trade
with travellers at Luxor by selling minor arti
cles which they brought in secret from the
hidden treasure. Perhaps from superstition.
and perhaps from fear that the display of anv
article OF great value taken from the cave might
cost them their secret, they removed none of
the mummies or the rolls of papyrus, and even
reffalned from laying hands on d magnificent
leather tent covered with inscriptions which
once sheltered King Pinotem. In the end. how
ever, the sale OF beautiful statuettes, recognized
oy Egyptologists as genuine and of exceptional
worth, aroused suspicion. One of the fcllah
brothers was arrested by Daud Pacha, Gov
erhor Oh the Province of Zehue, and Imprisoned
uhtll he consented to disclose the secret. The
cavern was visited by the Governor, who per-

4 LESSON FROM 4 DISASTER

The first of September has come to
be recognized as the day when the fash
ionabie vacation properly terminates, and
although autumn opens with more than mid
summer drouth and fervor the homcward
rush OF pleasure seekers for the next fort
night will overcrowd every line of public
travel Already the throngs Mt railroad sta
tons and steamboat landings are crushing. and
tho unusual perils which threaten the tbou-
sands who are hrTrying home is a seasonabIe
If not a pleasant subject for reflection. The
accident which befe the steamer State Of
New-fork on Sunday evening, and which has
been cheerfully spoken of as a most fortunate
occurrence because hundred persons escapcd
strangling, is most suggestive i'm this
connection. According to the press reports
the boat was slowly dropping down the
placid river, her engines having been stopped
when she struck stump or sunkcn log. and
IN ten minutes she had filed with water 10
the hoor of tho ladies' cabin. One of her
regular landings was ut hand but her officers
wisely stranded her, for she would have sunlx nj
her dock before the passengers could have left
her li there hadbeen no friendly beach at hand if
The stock had como later in the evening after
the passengers had retired, if IL floating wreck
in the open Sound had been the object struck
instead OF n river snag, the results would have
been appalling.

starred boat was shaky or upsound. We only
know, as everybody else knows, the havoc
made by the sunken tree. But some facts
have been brought to our notice which
seem to demand investigation. AS the steamer
lies, her sinking stern is straining her amid
ships, and her hog frames are split and frac-
tured. Yesterday a gentleman was examining
these huge timbers, which look so smooth and
white and strong. He thrust his arm into
the fracture, and easily loosened hand
fuls OF decayed wood. Several of these
pieces have been sent to this Office, and
there is not a fibre or splinter Of
sound wood in them. They arc shapeless
Jumps OF dry rOttenness which can be rubbed
into powder between the thumb and finger.
Now the disaster did not result from the
treacherous timbers above, but when the
beams which are framed to stiffen and
strengthen the entire structure are only var
nlshed shams, it is in order to examine
the timbers under water which were
crushed Like an egg shell. OF course it is
TO be hoped that the hull will be found
honestly built and staunch enough to wrestle
with the rough waters of the Sound But as
life is sacred a searching survey should be
maae before this accident is pronounced a
visitation of God. The hundreds who are
crowding these boats every day and every
night and all their friends, have a vital interest
In this matter, and it is opportune moment
for everybody to insist that Government In
spectors shall inspect.

The announcement that vexatious Customs
rules have been imposed in Cuba calls for
vigilance on the part of our consuls in that
country, who should report any cases of op-
preston. With a Liberal Ministry in Spain,
protesting to favor tariff revision, it ought to
be possible to secure fair play for foreign
traders with Cuba.
