THE warm weather has had very
bad effect on the tempers Of the Harris
burg legislators. The attorney general
was their hest friend in wanting to cut
their session short. Evidently the spring
fever in their blood disables them from
judicious labor, and they should hurry
along their adjournment. They are
not the band Of brothers they thought
they were when they met. Mr.. Wolfe
and Mr.. Hewitt declare that they came
together at the beginning Of the session
as close friends, but now their feelings
are not Nmicable towards one another.
Mr.. Wolfe would like tn have been
speaker, but stood back for his friend
Hewitt: but now he thinks it was loves
labor wasted, since Hewitt has shown
himself, as he believes, to be on the side of
the ringsters. Mr.. Hewitt, on the con-
trary, believes that he is very
virtuous man and fair speaker, and con-
siders that Wolfe aims to be entirely too
much of a dictator. Both gentlemen
seem to have naturally ardent tempera-
ments, and naturally, as wehsve suggest
ed, such weather as we are having is en-
tirely too hot for their equanimity. Cool
ness is a very necessary requisite for
gool legislative work, and the proper de- |
gree of it is difficult to maintain even at |
zero weather i'm such bear pen as the !
House. If the Legislature proposes to sit
much longer it should consider the

THE DRAMA.

Maggie Mitchell as Fsnchon the Cricket.
The return of Miss Maggie Mitchell to
this city after an interval OF several years
was cOmplimented by one of the most
brilliant audiences that has been assembled
ut Fulton opera house the present season.
Lancaster's most fastidiOus and cul
tured amusement patrons turned out in
force last evening to witness this little
lady's rendition of one of her most famous
creations, Fanchon. The role is one that
has long since been universally recognized
as her own. Her name has become identi.
fed with it, and 50 long as Miss Mitchell
shall continue to play youthful characters
SO long probably will this impersonatiOn
continue to be regarded by her friends as
ono 'affOrding the widest scope for her un-
doubted ability, and the one on which
rests the sure foundation of her fame.
There is indeed no doubt of the perfect
finish of Miss Mitchell's rendition Of this
difficult part. The widely divergent
phases Of character which its proper
representation develops are illustrated in
her acting with Il fidelity that is the posi-
tive creation of genius. There is the sud-
den transition from the wild exuterant
spirits Of the impish gypsy vail, the lively
cricket, with; to all outward appearance,
never thought Of sorrow, to the lonely
desOlate condition Of the despised and ne.
elected girl, the gIandchild Of aleputed
witch, with q full consciousness Of her
degradation and it is into these lat
ter phases Of the part, especially, that
Miss Mitchell has the power OF infusing
wealth of tenderness and feeling that 20
right straight to the heart of the beholder |
and are infinitely sad and touching. Miss
Mitchell unQuestiOnably produced a |
marked effect upon her audience, as was |
eviuced by several calls before the cur
tain, aud the fact that at frequent
stages Of the performance there was
many a moistened eye in the audience
and liberia! and undisguised use of pocket
only to I've succeeded by
smiles and laughter at some new and
merry freak Of the strange creature. Sell
tOm has there been witnessed upon the
opera house stage more deeply touching
spectacle than that of the second act
where the rude assemblage of boys and
,irls at st. AndOchc's festival assault the
!efenselcss orphan with the purpose of
aking from her the ''deviPs claw which
he is reputed to wear about her neck to
exercise unholy spells, when drawing it
rom her bosom the Cricket causes to be
cad before the shamed faces and bowed
leads of her accusers beautiful prayer
o the Virgin Mother. Miss Mitchelps
citing in this scene was admirable as in
eed it was throughout the performance.

Covers View Of Il.


The Philadelphia Ledger does not like
Mr.. Governs personal allusions which
is not unnatural considering its tender
feeling for Mr.. Drexel. It thinks it par
ticularly wrong to say bad things about
people who are physically afflicted, hav-
ing especial reference to Mr.. Scott. It
is generally considered to be well to
avoid saying evil of the dead, but IL is
stretch of the maxim to requires pub
lie speaker to deal very gently with peo-
pie who are only paralyzed; and
Mr.. Scott, ss president of a rival rail-
road, can hardly claim exemption from
criticism at the hands of another rail-
road president, who thinks he has a
grievance against him. There is no
sound objection to saying what is
thought Of the conduct Of men in pub
lie positions, but great deal of good
reason for it; provided only that the
things are said justly and with good
reason. Frankness Of speech is a virtue,
when tempered with judgment. Mr..
Gowen has received a liberal share of
criticism himself, and tickles the public
favor by the ability and boldness he dis
plays in taking care of himself. He
takes many strange views Of things,
but defends them with 50 much
vigor as to win applause even
from those who do not concede
that he is right. No doubt he astonished
Mr.. Smith, his predecessor in the Read
ing gpresidency by claiming that Smith
owed him a deep debt Of gratitude for
relieving him of the presidency. Prob.
ably Mr.. Smith has been thinking that
. the debt was just the other way. Most
people would consider that a man who
gives SO magnificent place to another
placed the dOnee under obligations
to him. Mr.. Smith retired from
his high Office because of hi.
failing health, and when it was re-
stored he probably expected Mr.. Cover
to return to him his gift. And as Mr.
GOwen seems to have found it such 9
burthen it may seem strange that he die
not do so. He persuaded himself, how.
ever, that his duty to the company re
quired him to stick. But it is not easy
for the ordinary comprehension to real
ize how poor Mr.. Smith should have beer
grateful to Mr.. Gowen both for taking
what he wanted to give up and for keep
ing what he wanted to get back again
Yet Mr.. GOwen states his opinion of Mr.
Smiths ingratitude with 50 much fervo
that no doubt he sincerely thinks that III
his been very much abused by him.

A County Fair.

The business men of this city and tie
country people generally cannot Overes-
innate the Importance to their mutual
interests of we'll devised local exhibi-
tiOn of our natural resources, our ag-
ricultural and mechanical products and
our business enterprise. The project of
holding a county fair, in behalf of which
apreliminary meeting of those interested
is called for tomorrow afternoon, is one
that can only he made successful by the
hearty cooperation of all concerned. 1t
must be run in no personal or local in
terest and on no narrow gauge princi-
pie. 1t should have the good will and
the participation in its management of
representative men from all sections of
the county, to the end that the widest
popular interest be excited in its success
and the fullest exhibition be secured of
our great wealth OF agricultural resources
and products. With richness of pro-
ducts of the soil far exceeding that oe
any other single district in the whole
United States, it is reproach that our
community does not every year devise
and sustain a far better exhibition in
this line than even the state fair can
show.
Added to this is the other cOnsidera-
tion that Lancaster city is rapidly grow
ing i'm Importance rs business point
and manufacturing centre. All of these
interests being inter-dependent, and each
helping the other, can he profited by be-
ing brought together in an exhibition of
their best products. Our farmers have
much to learn by seeing new methods
and many striking innovations in agri-
culture, now being SO widely discussed,
can he exhibited and tested at county
fair. So with our mechanics and man.
ufacturers -and tradesmen in their re-
spective lines. But the more import
ant objects of the exhibition should
BE- to bring all Of these classes together,
to the furtherance Of those interests
which are mutual and in the harmonious
progress of which we secure the more
complete and self-sustaining develop
ment. Especially is this the case in Ian
caster, where 50 much surplus money of
our agricultural community might prof
itably he directed toward the upbuilding
of manufacturing interests, which in
turn would afford new and better mark
cts for the products of our tillage.
