The sensations OF the week have been numerous
and Important Bursted bank-S2 2250, 600; arrival
| OF forty year old voice, with the name and
| fame Of Patti attached, to be heard at the rate
| OF SO ticket; appearance OF RoSs, the Italian
ACTOR the latchet OF whose shoes Salvini is worthy
| to tie, although he can't act as well; the
threatenfngs Of a water famine, now averted ;
visit anticipated from President Arthur,
and the heat OF political campaign on whose re-
suits wisdom, prophecy, and even guess work, are
| Silent over all Thus one sees that the range Of
matter of interest is over the gradient of human af
fairs, and includes all classes and condition Of
men.
BALDWIN, THE DEFAULTER.
The sensation arising from Baldwin's robbing
tne Dank holds its interest we'll 1t will do so,
FANCY, until the whole history Of 1t has been ex-
posed and all the details thereof have been printed

to reporter, and then revising it and cutting out
all but the statement, in answer to an obvious
question: 81 have doubt the government will

WHO ARE SAID TO HAVE RECEIVED THE MONEY.
The Nugents / knew well. They were rich,
coarse-grained, ignorant people, with no natural
refinement, and none acquired. From what is
gathered to-day it would seem reasonable to be-
1eVe that one OF them got Baldwin in his power to
greater degree than is limited so far, and bam-
NC Doo t MIN out OF the money: What the nature
most cOnndentlal way. The poor woman is said to
be In ft-poor daughter OF EveI how She comes to
breath swells into voice as it is exaggerated into
ialsehood, and then is trumpet-tongued as it be-
comes an enormous lie. The fact is not bad. but it
Is bad enough, fancy.
NOW about the 40 year voice. It came On the
Algeria, OF the Cunard line. never heard the
woman sing, and my Impressions of her personal
appearance are not lulled into doubtful admiration
under the real or fancied charm of her voice. She
Is not as abundant OF person as the distinguished
gentlemen from Illinois, but she is big enough
or form she furnishes it in figure that gives the
dreSsmaker chance to secure some lines OF it for
grace She has brown hair, brown coarse skin, a
times, and are very Intelligent and pretty when
not engaged in the balefuI sparkle business, big
ears that don't look bit like pink shells as have

time when She had just concluded tempestous

the staccato, quavers, demi and semi-quavers,

ENTER ROSSI.
Now comes Senior RosSi, riding upon the fame OF
his greatness, too, but bringing it along in order
that we may see and know II. 1t has been recog-
nized as having the true ring He can act Doubt
less the tailor who cuts his trousers puts more
material in the band than he would mark off for
the belt Of hauberk of the ideal Romeo; but If
Ross Is rat, SO are lots Of eminent men, and he is
that In his profession. His voice Is as FULL SOnOr
GUS, rich, clear and melodious as music Itself, and
the whole ballet taken at its best was never half
so graceful. His acting is the embodiment, not of
nature, but what we like to think nature is, under
given circumstance. 1t is romantic, full OF virile
force, colored-yOu know; utterly cOnsumedly cor
rect But you win like him am sure, in WASH
ington, for there is good reason for it. Personally
he is much nicer fellow than Salvlni, and it
was colo day when you couldn't find pleas
anter chap than Salvini No one has been heard
In this connection to avow that there ever was
cold day.
