New YORK, November l3.-The
following is an extract from the crit
icism which the Tribune will publish
in the morning:
After seeing the performance Of
Rosalind that Mrs Langtry gave last
night in Wallack's Theater, the plain
est possible truth we muse record is
that it was but imperfectly fulfilled.
Still, there is a winsome personal
charm 10 Mrs. Langtry's appearance
and conduct, but hsr ideal
Of Rosalind is prOsaic, an her
execution fragmentary, uneven, in.
sipid and in6rm Mrs. Langtry's Ros-
alind makes a fuller disclosure Of her
personality than was made in her i'm
personatiou of Hester G~rszebrook. but
not a different one. 1t was again seen
to abound in bright elements resting
upon a basis of sense aud complacent
good nature rather than Imagination
Or deep emotion. It's a Rosalind all
of sunshine; it is in intention the dia-
mond waterfall that sparkles in the
morning light, Mrs. Langtry under
stands, or at least portrays, the char
acter not as a complex web OF thought,
but as that OF a merry and rather I'M
refined girl who is roughing it in the
woods. She puts on garments OF a
boy aud she dashes in for a frolic. The
movement in doing this is almost in
cessant. Her facei is invariably gleeIul
Her voice is restricted to the tones Of
hooking. Saucy merriment is the
spirit OF the performance, and sport is
its best result. But Mrs. Langtry's
power of Identification is slight, and
or that reason the auditors Of her
ROsalind perceive her efforts and feel
her arti6ce After more practice her
cleaning ffivolty in the part will
doubtless be evenly sustained. We
have seldom seen so charming a
woman in ROsalind. We have never
seen a weaker performance OF the
part, there seeming to be an almost
total lack Of scholar like study Of the
comedy, and many subtle shades OF
meaning we're lost through wrong
emphasis in the delivery Of the
text. The theater last night
was crowded with spectators, eager
chiefly to behold Mrs. Langt1y in
her male attire. She wore that attire
with q j4unty assurance and a dainty
grace, modestly, and yet with a pretty
little swagger; so hat this portion OF
the display must have proved agree
able, That she should really and en-
tirely act ROsalind at this early stage
Of her career, was not to be nationally
anticipated. 1t is enough that she
looked it, and that she crudely ap
proximated to her mistaken ideal.
Under the severe aud almost over
whelming test to which this intrepid
sspirant has subjected herself, it is a
victory that Mrs. Laugtry can act at
all. She was much applauded. and
several times called out, particularly
in the third act"

Morristown Gazette, 10: In our cup
Of rejoicing on account Of the general
victory won by the people over the
Bosses last week, there is one drop Of
bitter-the defeat Of Bob Taylor. he
made a most gallant fight against
desperate odds. With . large mum
e.ieal majority politically opposed to
him, with Hubbell's Golfers wide
open. and an army Of Office holders to
distribute the lucre and crack the
party lash, tits small wonder that he
went down. Though defeated he is
not dishonored. The able canvass
which he made won for him lasting
l%aurels, and even though all else be
lost, like Francis after Pavia, he can
console himself with the reflection
that his honor still remains bright and
untarnished.

A Balloon In n storm.

A balloon accident, which was very
nearly attended with fatal conse
quences, has occurred near Vienna
An aeronaut named Silberer had made
fourteen successful ascents from the
Prater during the summer. In the
fifteenth ascent, says the London Tel.
egraph, he was accompanied By two
gentlemen. Messrs. Leitaer and Schit
tenhelm, neither OF whom had the
slightest knowledge Of ae~ronautics.
this being their FIRST balloon trip The
weather was not altogether propitious.
and while the machine was filing NJ
Silberer manifested certain misgiv-
ings, but being unwilling to disappoint
the large crowd Of spectators and
expecting the wind would fall in the
course OF the afternoon, he decided to
start. He thought proper, however,
to announce that the journey would be
a short one, as be would seize the first
opportunity TO effect a descent. AT
about 4:30 The order was given TO let
go tho cords, whereupon the balloon
with its three occupants rose rapidly
lnto the upper air, taking a north
westerly direction, which carried il
over the hilly dist; let between the
Northern and Western railroads. Here
the DrOnaut threw out the anchor, but
suddenly a change OF wind drove
them toward the lower valley of the
Danube, and a regular hurricane broke
out. The car was at this time within
a few feet Of the ground, but was hurled
along with such velocity that the peas
alts, who had gathered from all di.ec-
tons, were unable TO render assistance.
Meanwhile the three voyagers, whose
position wa becoming every moment
more critical, were joltel about in
the wicker cage, thrown off their legs,
and unable TO handle the anchor or
gas valve, their only hope Of rescue
They got so unfortunately entangled
that NJ. Silberer, who alone knew
bow to regulate the escape OF gas, had
only his left arm free and was utterly
helpless On driited the balloon over
meadow and vineyard; tree and rock.
until its heldlong course was for a
moment arrested by the protruding
branch Of q huge oak. One of the
baloonists wal thrown out and had a
most miraculous escape receiyi,g
only a few slight injuries. The weight
being thus reduced, the machine
hurried on with the same fearful
rapidly till it came in contact with a
substantial brick wall, in which n
made a large breach. Ii then crossed
a graveyard, knocking over tomb
stones and iron crosses. One shock
more violent than the rest precipitated
NJ. Leitner to the ground, where he
lay stunned by the fall, having sus.
tained severe internal aud external
Injuries. A minute later the balloon
slackened its speed, and M. Silborer
had retained just sufficient strength 10.
seeare the anchor and to alight. They
had reached the n'ighborhood If
Stockereau, a small town on the
Western railway, and had been on
hour and a half on their dapeorous
trip. Medical aid was Immediately
forthcoming, and NJ. Silberer aud his
companion were transported TO the
nearest public house.

spicy story is current here 10. might to
the effect that one Of the larger hotels
was the scene quite recently of a

The LEDGER's nomination of Hon.
John G.. Carlisle, Of C~ovington, KY,
for Speaker Of the next House Of
Representatives, in Congress was a
happy thought. 1t has been taken up
all over the country and Mr.. Carlisle
is mentioned as often by the press as
Mr.. Randall or any other possible
candidate for the Speakership. Mr..
Carlisle is a member Of the Congress
sional Committee appointed to report
upon the improvements necessary
to be made upon the Missis-
sippi river and now making the
trip on the steamer Guiding Star
from Cincirrati to New Orleans. He
was born in Campbell county (now
Kenton), KY. in 1895, and is therefore
iorty-seven Jears Of age and in the
very prime Of life. He studied law
with j. W. Stevenson and W. B.
Kinkead and was admitted to the bar
in 1853 and has prscticed since.
He served in the Legislature before
and after the war; was = member Of
the National Democratic Convention
at New York in 1868; was elected
Lieutenant Governor Of Kentucky in
August, 1871, and served until Sep
TENDER, 1875; was alternate Presi-
dental elector in 1876; was elected to
the Forty-ffth Congress, and has
been re elected at each election since.
By his conservatism, broad views and
manly bearing be has won a command
ing position in the House, and he
looms up as a prominent candidate
Tor the Speakership and Other
honors without his own asking
or hardly his own consent. In the
generosity Of his nature he has beer
disposed to give way to others. but
having been selected by his friends
they claim the right to forward hi
claims and to test his strength.
