hns;lv. ;nferrinp 1T She acted 'Eyadne''
IN the Detroit Opera House one year ago,
and aoain last night. Her estimate of the
character has apparently undergone a
change amounting almost to revolution.
II Is possible that her growth in acting en-
abIes her to present her ideal more wildly
than she did year ago. In that view OF
ii we may credit her with all the time hay
ing had correct perception Of the nobility
of the character;but in any event the manner
in which she expressed that perception
last night was revelation As well as revo-
luton, in comparison with her previous
record.
She has certainly made great progress in
the details of her art, evidence of which IS
observable not only in the command which
she holds upon her natural exuberance, but
in the softened, delicate and graceful finish
of her action. The skill acquired by study
and experience has tempered and refined
her metal to q degree of elasticity which
shows becoming willingness to learn and
recognition of the broad truth that art is
urgently, irresistibly prof1uent. II her adj
vancement in .sEvadne" be fair criterion
of her general progress, the remainder of
her engagements cannot be otherwise than
brilliant The two great scenes in
ssEvadne-the third act, where she seeks
to prevent hostile meeting between her
brother and her lover; and the magnificent
interview with the King In the hall of
statues, stamp Miss Anderson as consum-
mate actress and tragic force whose like
the stage does not hold. Her gifts of
person are not less notable than her intel
lectuai endowments, and her voice is be-
yond comparison with that of any contem-
porary tragedienne. Thus equipped by ma
ture, and having high ambition, enthusi-
asm for the profession; youth, with all
that priceless possession implies; and a
foundation of study, practical sense, her
future career promises the grandest results.
She will be a cclassol figure in the history
of the drama.

Again If Postmaster Bcarisley contends
that he has been thus instructed by the

ruling is made especially for the manifest
Inconvenience of the business men of Rock

of the Office has been conducted. The
merchants and other residents Of Rock ISL

hot branding irons and propose to fix the
responsibility somewhere for the worst

and work as other people are compelled to
do It.

THE POST OFFICE NATTER.

BY request of Postmaster Beartisley the
ARGUS gladly finds room for the following
extracts from postal iaws and regulations
| ed. 1879
Sec 26S. Matter cannot be delivered
until postage due is paid No mail matter
shall be delivered until the postage due
thereon has been paid. r. s. .s3900.)
Sec. 297. Friends of owner of box to
use same, when.-Letters addressed to the
| friends of the owner of a box stopping
temporarily with him may also be placed In
the box, if directed to his care or to the
number of the box. But letters addressed
TO other persons residing in the same place.
and living and doing business separate and
apart from a box-holder, should not be
placed In such box
Sec. 800. Rent of boxes TO be prepaid
No box &C any postoffice shall he assign
ed to the use Of any person until the rent
thereof has been paid for at least one
quarter in advance, for which the post
master shall give receipt.-R. s.. s3910.)
SEC. 301. Payment for boxes must be
quarterly Postmasters must rent the
boxes and drawers in their postoffice for
one quarter (three mopthsl only, the money
to be paid in advance. The department
viii insist upon q strict compliance with
this regulation. Boxes remaining unpaid
for ten days from the expiration of quar-
ter will be declared vacated.
SEC 3O2.-Box to be restricted to use of
one family, etc.-A person renting post
Office box is entitled to have the letters of
his family put into it. Each box must be
restricted to the use of one family, firm or
corporation.
Look at section POT. and see what i:
nfh
persons residing in the same place, and
living and doing business separate and
apart from box holder. should not be
placed in such box" The ARGUS would
have the postmaster stick pin right here,
as this seems to be the only point of our
correspondents arraignment to which he
cares to pay attention. Il the ARGUS
cashier were to go 70 Mr.. j.
nj. Buford, for instance, and re
quest the privilege of having
his mail matter sent in his, Mr.. Buford's,
care, then the postmaster could interpose
his authority and put the cashiers mail in
the general delivery, because the cashier
is doing business separate and apart, etc.
But, unless the proprietor of an establish Z
ment requests the postmaster to exclude
the mail of his employees from his box,
(and this the ARGUS comedies would be alb
solutely necessary when the merchant or
manufacturer employs number Of hands,
Mr.. Beardsley has no more right to put the
mail of such employee. when properly di
rected INTO the general delivery than he
has to dump it into the street. As he ap-
pears to be the only postmaster in Illinois
who assumes thus to exclude the mail of q
known clerk from his employers box,
another Department ruling win be neces
sary for the sake of uniformity

NIL tho prrcirc,s heard from which
were no, published yesterday.
We have not been able to gain ary
positive information as TO the result on
the State ticket IN this State. The ma
%jori;ies will be small either way, with
indications in favor Of the Democratic
ticket.
The indications nre that but two
Democrats on tho County ticket, Gro
Yer aud uesson, arc elected. The rnca
stwssn Dorsey aud Talbot il n close
one and it is impossible 20 predict the
rcsult until the rsturns are all in. On
the Legislative ticket, Hardes;y and Nc
Burney aye probably elected. but We
cannot state positively who will DO the
third man.
We take pleasure in calling attention
TO the result OF the elections in other
States. As will be seen, the Demo
Gratis have made sweeping gains in n
majority of instances, and there is little
donb. that the next Congress will he
largely Democratic, while u numbrr of
States hitherto Republican will be
ruled by Democratic G%ov.rnors.
The election OH Tuesdcy was a per-
feet surprise, 10 far rs Elko County is
concerned. Although wo expected n
close race, We were totally unprsparsd
for tho Astonishing result. The result
in this precinct ia the most unexpected
OF oil. ns we had confidently predicted
a majority for every candidate on the
Democratic ticket. Nevertheless, va
