FALL ADJUSTMENTS.
BARLOW, wiIson, Primrose a West mt the
National.

The National was crowded to the doors
last night with an audience comprising the cream
of Washington plny-goers. Tho heat had ma
terally moderated, that, despite the jam, every
body was comfortable and in mood to enjoy
whatever might be offered. The audience filed
the room early, and had barely time to admire the
new interior before the curtain went up, which 1t
did at eight o'clock precisely. The performance
went of with the utmost precision. The bill
was q good one, and was rendered in an uneN-
ceptionable manner. At every step the audience
manifested the most enthusiastic approval, which
frequently found vent In uproarious cheering. The
first part was particularly good, but when oil was
so good particular mention need not be made of
any one feature. The singing was exquisite, the
comedy was capital the dancing superb, the con-
tortion act simply marvellous, and the burlesque
was lively and lGughRblc. 1t was only when
"Mrs. Diddemus Party held the boards that the
audience showed the slightest loss of interest The
whole act could wisely be cut. 1t was perfectly
rendered, without question, but 1t Is old and too
long-too "talky." With this solitary drawback,
If 1t may be so termed the general verdict from
the audience was that the performance was the
best ever given in Washington by minstrel COM
pany. George Wilson seemed TO catch the fancy
of the public more than any other individual, and
during the first part was the modest recipient of
magnificent bouquet in the form of a horse shoe
composed entirely of buds. The company give
three more pcrlorm0nces-to.nighta and to. morrow
| night, with matinee Tomorrow afternoon.

street Fight aud Lawsuis.

Yesterday morning, in the Police Court,
Mr.. o. b. Lester was charged with assault and bal
terry on Benjamin s. Berry and the case was con-
tinued. The former Is clerk In the Land Office
and the latter gentleman we'll known in this city
as well as Philadelphia, where he amuses himself
blennially by running against Samuel J. Randall
for Congress. The row grew out of some business
troubles between Berry and Mrs. Catharinc A.wyn-
dam, sister.in-aw of Lester, who keeps q
boardlng-hou at No. 1925 X street, involving the
right to certain furniture now in possession of
Berry, and which he was attempting to dispose Of
In the skirmish Berry was considerably worsted,
his head and face clearly evidenced when he pre-
sented himself before the court. Mr. Berry is said
to have claimed that he had Lester employed in
the Land Office, This Lester denies, asserting that
he had 10 need of such aid and that Berry Is only
cheap office broker in this city, without influence.
Yesterday afternoon Mossrs. Charles Pelham and
4. ]. Miller, for Mrs. Wyndam, secured an injunc.
ton from Judge Wyle restraining Berry from dis.
posing of the furniture, which is now in the pos
session of All nuctionecr, The papers were served

is now iithopolized by San Francisco will

As this road runs through country which

calculate upon capturing the majority OF

the great cities OF the West and by
New York. The teas, spices, silk goods,
etc, for the supply of our Southern mar
kcts will centre in the warehouses OF the
Crescent City, while Oriental goods for ship
ment to Europe some of which are liable to

The world in Japan is moving too. The
Japanese are the Yankees Of the Monaghan
race and have caught Western IDEAS of
progress which are becoming epidemic in
politics and government policy. The polit-
zeal progress of Japan may be thus noted;
in the year 1867 the TycOon's government
was overthrown, after 300 years Of usurpa-
ton, and the Mikados came to the throne.
The present Mikado is the l22d of his dy-
nasty, which dates back 300 years. Tie
MikadO has'provcd wise and liberal ruler,
and is evidently moved by the spirit Of pro-
gress. In 1875 he dccrced the establishment
of senate to share the duties of govern
ment--a concession like that Of King John
to the Barons of England. Three years al
ter he established elective local assemblies
of classes below the rank Of dalmios, or
mobiles, and on October IA of this year he
decreed National Parliament to be Gstab-
lished nine years hence, in 1850, or two or
three years earlier if the people were ready
for h0sChange in the machinery Of govern
