A CORRESPONDENT of one of tho New
York papers complains that Washington sis
very dull" The REPUBLICAN this morning
is the best possible evidence that the corrc-
spondent is mistaken. If moro is wanted
visit to any of tho business houses whose
advertisements can be found in this issue
will certainly satisfy the most con-
frmed doubter. Business men do not
demand half pages or whole ones for adver.
tisemepts in dull towns. They do not come
in such numbers as to mako the publication
of enlarged papers necessary in dull times.
There is no better evidence of tho condition
of business in any city than tho advertising
columns of its principal newspaper. The en-
larged pages of The REPUBLICAN this
mo, uing present tho best kind of
evidence that Washington has plenty
of active business men and that they
have plenty to do. During the month of
March last THE REPUBLICAN published 2i1
moro new advertisements than in tho same
month in 1852, and during the present month
it has published moro new advertisements
than any other paper in Washington, q BY
new advertisements wo mean advertisements
from new advertisers not merely changes in
the form of old advertisements, which some
papers count as new. By that method of
counting the figures given would be nearly
or quito doubled.
The REPUBLICAN is conceded by every one
to be the best paper ever published at the ma
tional capital, and the best advertising me-
dium. Wo claim, without fear of contradic-
tion, that THE REPUBLICAN publishes, month
by month and year by year. moro now adver-
tisements than any other paper in Washing
ton. 1t pays more postage than any other
daily with all their editions combined, and
more than all the daily and Sunday papers
combined. 1t has a more rapidly increasing
circulation than all the other daily and Sun
day papers in Washington combined 1t pays
moro for special dispatches than all the
other papers combined. 1t prints all the
news and finds 1t pays.

Irving on Acting.

In O preface which he has written In q
pamphlet contains translation of Talma's
essay on "The Actors Artp Mrs Irving says:
"The essence of acting is its apparent sponta-
niety. Perfect illusion is ATTAINED whom
every effect seems to. be an accident. If the
defamation is too measured the sonsc of
truth is at once impaired. IT, on the other
hand, it falls snly tho shadow of shade be-
low the level of appropriate expression, the
authors sympathy is instantly checked. The
union of grandeur without pomp and nature
without triviality, is of all artistic ideals the
most difficult to attain, and with this goal be-
fore him no actor can feel that his art is a
plaything. The end of all acting Is to hold
the mirror up to nature Different actors
have different methods, but that 10 their COM
mon purpose, study, and observation. Acting,
like every other art has a mechanism. No
painter, however great his imaginative power,
can succeed in pure ignorance Of the techni-
calities Of his art and no actor can mako
much progress till he has mastered certain
mechanism which is within tho scope of pa
tient intelligence. Beyond that is the sphere
in which magnetic personality exercises q
power Of sympathy which is irresistible and
indehnable. That is great acting but though
ii is inborp and cannot be taught, 10 can be
brought forth only when the actor Is master
IL the methods of his craft. / am conscious
that no words of mine can add any weight to
the lessons which are set forth with such earn :
estness and brillianoe in Talma's pages but
venture to emphasize them by two golden
rules Let tho student remember, first, that
| every sentence expresses new thought, and,
| therefore, frequently demands change of in
tonation second, that the thought precedes
the word. The actor should have the art Of
thinking before he speaks. OF course there
are passages IN which thought and language
are borne along by the stream ofemotion, and
completely intermingled. But more often II
will be found that the most natural, the most
seemingly accidental effects are obtained
when the working of the mind is visible be-
fore the tongue gives Its words"

Prof RlIey's Opinion on Vine Cuttings

Prof RiIey's Opinion ON Vine Cuttings.
DIR. Loring, commissioner Of agriculture,
has forwarded to the secretary Of the treas.
ury the following statement submitted to
him by the entomologist of the department
who says: In reply to the letter of the assist
ant secretary of the treasury, with Enclosures
from the New York custom house respecting
an invoice of vino cuttings from Madeira, sus-
pocted Of phylloxera disease, would submit
the following: The samples submitted
upon examination furnish no sign what
ever Of phylloxera, and 1t is extremely
doubtful whether any trace of phylloxera
could be discovered upon any of the cuttings
now held in New York-frst, because phyl-
loxera is not known to be destructive in Ma
dera, and second, because IL could only be
found in the winter egg which, even in coun-
tries where phylloxera abound, is extremely
rare. Hence the chances of the introduc.
tion of the pest upon these cuttings are
so very remote as not to bo worth
considering; but even IL the cuttings came
from country badly infested with phylloxera
the danger of the introduction Of the pest
upon them would be very slight, the reason
for which conclusion / have already discussed

which gives In addition n succinct statement
OF the life habits of the insect. Even
sect no harm could result so long as
they were sent to any part Of the
United States east of tho Rocky mountains,
since the phylloxera is indenous here. On the
same supposition that the cuttings are hardly
infested, prudence would dictate that they
should not be sent to the Pacific states or
those portions of it where the phylloxora does
not exist; but, for the reason first given, / dc
not hesitate to say that there can be no dan,
ger in sending them even there, so that they
may certainly bo forwarded without fear o.
injury.
