Our play-goers may be assured that in

equal TO the reputation which has been given her
by the London and New York press, which Is as
we have previously pointed out, Of the very
highest, The story Of her career is the same as
thnt Of nearly every successful professional.
Chance threw in her way some years ago in Cali;
fornia the opportunity, Up to that time she had
lobored quietly aud unobtrusiyoly in minor
roles, not dreaming herself perhaps, of her own
ability From her first rendition Of the part she
has been triumphant. "B. eak House isperhaps
the most difficult OF nll Of Dickins works
TO dramatic, and the profession might
be searched with the closest scrutiny
without finding more than half dozen individuals
fitted to undertake 40" The dramatizaton used
by Miss Lee is acknowledged to be the best exant,
while by universal consent she is the master In the
leading role. 1t is sufficient to point to the fact
that for over one thousand nights she played the
part to crowded houses in London itself the scene
Of " Jos" mournful career In New York she has
been equally fortunate, and the critics unant.

Mr.. r. Ross Perry, who forsome time has
ably performed the duties of Assistant District
Attorney. has forwarded to Colonel Corkhill his
resignation Of that position Both Mr.. Perry and
the District Attorney are very reticent as to the
reasons for this action, which is greatly to be re.
grettod. as there has been no incumbent of the
office for years who has.made so vigorous prose-
cutting officer as Mr.. Perry. The correspondence
Is rs follows:
WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept Q, 1881

SIR: Your letter of the 9th instant, rendering
ing your resignation ns an assistant District AttOr-
tcy, has been received regret the circumstances

Facts from the Signal Omcc.

The backbone ofthe drought was broken
last evening by q very heavy shower Of rain The
drizze on Friday, which, however,was very CRATE.
full was but the overture Of the splendid shower of
yesterday The rain began about half past four by a
slow and stately patter which soon gave way to
wild swirl and the rain, swept by the wind, drove
through the streets in perfect torrents The fall
continued very heavy for upward Of half IN hour,
but the rain stlll continued for some time longer.
The amount Of the rainfall during this period as
reported at the Signal 0nice was 300 inches.
The rain began again at seven o'clock,
falling steadily for some time, and the parchcd
earth and withered vegetation has been greatly
refreshed. II was not as cool aitcr the shower as
was expected, but there is some consolation
in the fact that II was the "breaking up shower"
and that the hot weather is now thing Of the
past The shower was purely local one, but there
were local showers all through the middle section
yesterday It Is probable that there will be good
deal Of rain during this month, II Is very genc-
ally supposed that August was very cool month
This year, but at the Signal onice last evening n
reporter of THE REpUBIIcAN was told that the
average temperature during August was higher
than any year since the Office has been established,
except 1872 The first week in September was the

THE THEATRE LAST NIGHr-ABBOTT.-
Miss Abbott opened at the Richmond The
atre last evening In DOniZett's tragic opera
I" Lucia, Bride OF Lammermoor," and while
we must compliment the little prima donna
on the outset for her earnest efforts and
realistic portrayal OF Lucia In the face of q
meagre and cold audience, IL must be stated
that this dispiriiiDg influence scarcely war
ranted the cutting the work received.
Miss Abbott first appeared in Richmond
some live years ago, when she sang in con-
cert with Signor Brignoli and Ferranti. We
were charmed then with her exquisitely
sweet voice, and fairly astonisbed at its flex.
ibility and her surprising power Of sustain.
ing tones. We at once felt as though we
should take up the cudgels in her behalf
against those critics who bad, as we
thought, so cruelty retarded the out
cropping OF her genius by the harshness
with which they criticised her first
effort In opera. She returned TO this
city last year, and our people having proba-
bly, fixed their estimate too high, their an
ticipatOns were not realized when she did
then appear in opera, and they thus suffered
disappointment. She comes now "a at
first. with her sweet birdlike voice and fin
ished method, and with what she bad not
then-a force and intensity OF realism in
her acting that is remarkable for one
OF her physique. And yet admiring
these eXcelences, her sterling worth
and her great devotion 10 the study
OF her art, We are forced TO the ad-
mission that those whom we censured
spoke not without reason when they saiu
she lacked force and volume OF voice to be
a success in grand opera. II is true she
works up her climaXes to wonderful
intensity, but the tone is strained and shows
effort, especially when she must sing
against a support Of even ordinary ability.
In the title role last evening she gave q
portrayal that was intensely real, especially
IN the mad scene, and more than once
aroused her audience to degree OF enthu-
siasm. With the exception OF BrignOl,
who played Edgardo, she was poorly sup.
ported. Mr.. James as Ashton looked well,
but was not up in the part. Sigpor Brig
noli, who has been great fayorite here as
elsewhere for years, holds out surprisingly
well, and his audience seemed really pleased
with his rendering Of the difficult r6!e OF
Edgardo last evening.
The company have quite a good chorus
and large orchestra under. the direction OF
Slgnor Tomasi. In Fra Dayolo tonight,
which is much lighter work, they Will ap.
pear to far better advantage, and will prove
more entertaining to the general audience.
Tonight will be Miss AbbOtt's first appear.
ance here in comic opera, with Mlurel,
Castle, Tams, Strini, and James in the cast.
