that was thoroughly pleased with the periOr.
nance given. For the past two years each
succeeding pantomime, or "Humpty Dump.

given the same old dreary performance and
tricks. George II. Adams advertised new
and revised performance, and he gave one.
The company Is largo one, the accessories
are bright and novel, and the tricks new and
funny. Nothing Is allowed to drag, and the
laughter was continuous all over the house,
nearly all the time last evening. Adams Is
one Of the best clowns on the stage at present,

LINCOLN.

While the thought OF the nation is GEN.
tered upon the latest victim OF the assas-
sins bullet, it may not lie nmiss to notice
the estimate placed upon President Lin
coin by George Alfred Townsend" Gath
who during the war was favorably situated
for Studying the Presidents character:
lie was the greatest man OF the war
period, and think opinion is crystalizing
on that. He was certainly the greatest
man ever knew. In him the genius for
the special was crossed on the genius for
the ordinary. His heart was ns big as his
brain-his nature as sweet and as large as
his mental equipment was perfect He
was man OF the people without having a
trace OF demagogue.
The pulse of the great West throbbcd in
his blood, and the breezes OF the prairies
swept through his brain, but this gave him
energy and clearness. without leading to
rnshness or riot. There was something
homely and strong in his very ugliness-a
suggestion of power in his simple, awkward
ways, and sense of health and cleanliness,
in his hearty humor. l have been accus
toned all my life to study men and an
nlyze their characters, and l am satisfied
that never met such man M Lincoln.
Aftor lapse of nearly twenty years, l
could not find single attribute OF Lin
coins that WAS not fitting part of his
greatness, nor could | suggest an element
of greatness that was lacking.
Looked at through the vista of twenty
years, his character looms up full, majestic,
complete"
