LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

METROPOLITAN THEATEB, - Jaaauechak,
the eminent actress, made her first appear
ance in this city at the Metropolitan Thsater
last evening. The drama presented was that
better known as 1.-THE Woman in Red" or
"Zillsh." It would perhaps be sufficient to
say that the lady is one of those whose walk
in art Is on the upper levels, and that her
dramatic reputation Is too firmly established
to be made matter Of criticism st this time.
Still it may be said that by coinege Of art,
the quality of which the dullsgt can
not mistake, she sccomplishes the com
pletest effects. Her acting is that close
approach to reality so seldom atssi1ed & at
all but perfect reflection of Nature in art,
which constitutes its greatest triumph. Her
impsrsonati9n OF Rudija furnishes q
standard by which. in sdop ing il as test of
the merit Of her own work, no other actress
would suffer humiliation. She ia powerful in
psEsion and touching in pathos, aud there is
a singlenses OF personality and q sustained
Identification in her work that are the chief
essentials Of high msIit-those attributes
which enable the person TO be lost in the
character and which keep the actor true to
the thought and idea Of The part. JaneE-
schek has been endowed by Nature with the
great gifts, power, deep esrnessness of pur-
pose, a quick intelligence and the art of
reaching cut and drawing TO herself the SYM
pAthies IF the auditors TO an extent TO blind
them, willingly, to faults shat ths
cool criticism might point out Sac
lifts the characters she ASSUMES into the
ideal realm and lives Ia il and unfolds al the
powers and meanings of the part. Her per-
sonation os the half-maddened Jewish mother
last evening was symmetrical, aud marked by
2 completeness hat ought to satisfy the most
exaciug. Her audience was one If tina most
discriminating and enthusiastic. II called her
before the curtain az the close Of each act
with a sincerity Of applause not to be mis-
takep. Messrs. Chaplin and Stuart and
Misses Irving aud Brooks afforded chief sup
port, and we're acceptable, but were not
called upol by the demands OF the piece for
any special efforts. To night ,lanauschek
will appear IN BLEAK House. in which she
hss double part. During the engage.
meut q different play is TO be presented on
each occ8aioe, Including MARY Ssuart,"
Marie Autoine.te' and " Mother and Son."
It is reasonable 10 expect that q s;iscrimias-
ting public will show its appreciation Of drs-
matte gsnius, such as now bids fer its favor.
THE RATEN CAsE.-In rendering their de-
cision in the Raten case the Suprems Court
says: Several questions were discussed on
the srgument arising on the instructions
given By the Court below, which we are called
on 20 consiler and determine. The Court d.
rected the jury as follows: Upon trial
for murder the commission Of tie homicide
by thaN1sndant being proved, the harden of
proving circumstances Of mitigation, or that
justify or excuse it, devolves upon him, unless
the proof on the part OF the prosecution
tends TO show that the crime committed only
amounts to msnsleughter or that the defend.
ant was justiGahle or excusRbIe, and this he
may show by pTeponderance of evidence
merely l. is urged thst this direction is
erroneous, because it depTives the defendant
of the doctrine of reasonable doubt. We
have to cay in reply TO this that the jury was
fully and correctly instructed upon tas ques-
ton OF reasonable doubs, and that the in.
structiou above given was approved by this
Court ID bank In People VS.. Hong All Duck

vie wing tbe other points on the sppsaI they
