MRS. MACK,S AMATEURS.
A Beautiful Young Dcbutante and other
Pleasing Attractions.

The entertainment given affords Opera House
last night by Mrs. Adeline Duval Mack and her
pupils was in many respects decidedly enjoyable.
1t showed that there Is some talent among our
resident population that needs only slight encour-
agement to add luster TO the dramatic stage. The
most remarkable evidence of ability shown by the
participants in this entertainment was exhibited
by Miss Belle Adams, u young lady of Richmond,
Va, who has for some time studied with Mrs. Mack
W 9TH view to adopting the stage as II profession
Miss Adams posses es the advantages Of beautiful
and expressive face, and a good figure and voice,
the latter only needing liltlc more culture. She
appeared in two widely distinct characters, viz:
Julia, in " The Hunclb9ck," and Juliet, in Romeo
and Juliet" In each she evinced most inteli.
gent conception and in her impcrsonations she
showed familiarity with stage business that was
wonderful in de6utdnte. She was easy and grace
full In her movements and deservedly won the
applause of the audience Several exquisite floral
tr hutes were showered upon her, and she was
called before the curtain at the close OF each act
Miss Susie Bowie also showed decided dramatic
talent as comedenne as Helen, in " The Hunch-
back" Mrs. Mack herself, In the scenes from
Macbeth " and Henry VIII, appeared TO excel
lent advantage. Mr.. Clarence O,good, of the male
participants, deserves the strongest recognition
lie is a youugsnan Of eighteen summers, and will
develop into acareful and pains taking actor,

American Relations with China

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-The follow
ing is an extract from lttter received
on Saturday by gentleman connected
with the Department from an attache
of the Chinese Legation here under the
administration OF Chin Lau Pin. 1t Is
thought to be particularly signifcant
in connection with the recent vigorous
protest of the American Minister at the
Court of the Emperor Of China touching
violations by the Chinese OF the rights
of American merchants And shipping at
Shanghai:
1t is rumored here that the. Legation
Of China In the United States willsEortly
be ordered home in consequence OF the
passage of the recent Chinese bill, and
that in place of minister you are to
have simply o consul. was very anx-
ious to visit the United States again,
but the coming attitude OF my country
will not permit me todo 80. The pas
sage of that bill has produced a very un-
favorable impression here, and the out
/ ok for the shipping interests of the
United States Is any thing but satlstac-
tory. trust that better understanding
Of the mutual interests Of both countries
may soon be reached.
The letter from which the foregoing
extract is made was written from bong
under the date of September 3 last. It's
authors position ins tho diplomatic
informed upon the subject
Of which he writes.
