YOrfek,a Love.

Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Barrett bad an
audience which packed Leubrie's from top to
bottom. He presented W. d. Howeli's trans
lation and adsptation from the Spanish OF
Estebsnsz, entitled Yorick's Lopc The argu-
ment is as follows: The time OF the play
is in the days of Shakespeare; the plot is
very strong but simple one. "Yorick,"
the comedian of the Globe Theater, il mar
ried TO "Mis;ress Alice, the leading lady at
the same playhouse, and who is a very beau
tiful woman, and much bis junior. His
! foster con, Edmund" also an actor, who
, owes everything in life 10 "Yorick," falls in
love with "Alice" and she returns that sf-
lection. Walton" the leading ACTOR OF the
Glohe, discovers their love, and being jealous
of "Yorick" Professionally, concludes to ac-
quaint him with thelstate of affairs. "Msster
Haywood" the manager of the theater, also
has noticed that the two have fallen in love,
and endeavors to keep the knowledge from
| "Yorick." Master Woodford," has written
play in which the chief characters are
a slowing husband, faithless vile, and an
ungrateful ward. These characte rs are taken
by "Yorick," Mistress Alice" and "Master
Edmund" and gradually The truth is un-
folded until,the end of the play. The last
act is on the stage of the Globe Theater, and
during the scene "Wallon" hands "Yorick"
letter written by "Edmundn 10 aAlice.n
Yoriok', becomes infuriated and in the fenc-
ing scene actually kills "Edmund." This is
one Of Mr.. Barrett's best roles, The play is
interesting from beginning to end,
and the climax is thrillipgly so.
1t is hardly necessary to say that
the trsgedian gave TO the part his usual
artistic touch, aud infused il with the fire Of
his genius. Miss Wainwright was an excel.
lent mistress Alice" wife of "Yorick." The
various emotions incident 10 the part could
not have been better pictured. Mr.. James
as master Haywood Mr.. Mosley as "Mss
ter Walton" and Mr.. Skinner as "Master Ed
mund" were all as completely suited to the
parts as the finest taste could desire.

Tariff for revenue only say our legis.

Tariff for revenue only" say our legis-
lators. Wonder what they mean7 Do they
mean that all the revenue shall come from
the tariff In this case duties would have
to be advanced 500 per cent. Or do they
mean that only part of the revenue shall
come from duties and the balance from in
ternal taxes? In this case we would like to
know what part or amount of the revenue
shall come from duties and what part from
internal taxes. Another question: When
was the tariff ever applied to any other OBJ
ject except 10 revenue? "Politics make
strange bed-fellows," is an old truism. W..
r. Moore is opposed TO any reduction of
taxes on beer and tobacco; 80 is the APPEAL.
While nothing else eau be expected from
this intense American prodigy, it is ssioniaA-
ing that the wide-awake, intelligent, observ-
ing editor of the APPEAL who lets ne oppor-
tunity pass TO express his sympathies for the
poor, should not know that beer and tobacco
are of more necessity to the workiugman
than coffee and quinine. Beer is more nour-
uses tobacco be will never need quinine. We
all remember how in the dark days of 1878
the ladies in street and railroad cars Rugged
they knew by instinct that the smoke of
even nickel cigar purified the poisonous
atmosphere. The insincerity of the free trade
press wss shown the other day when Mr.
Watterson, intending to publish q good,
cheap paper in Chicago, was refused mem
bership in that most tyrannical monopoly,
the Associated Press, although he offered
500, 1000. As iusincere AZ the free traders
have been proven to be they are frequently
lust a. ignorant. For instance, they want
The duties on crockery reduced and cannot
explain why china and crockeryware 10
cheaper to-day than before the war, when
the duties were Fifty per cent. le1. They
even do not know that two trains of clay
leave Chattanooga every week for Trsn-
tsn, where il il manufactured into china
ware, and under the name of "Queen AIMEE
dinner ware, a cut of which pattern I notice
in the APPEAL, and of which Mr.. C. N.
Erich is the agent here, shipped all over the
world. The ellie OF this country prefer il to
French china, and Tennessesns actually eat
off Tennessee plate and drink out of a
Tennessee cup when they buy this ware.
II free-traders ruled the country the Chat
tanooga clay would remain undisturbed for
ages and our people be compelled to use ths
English stone chinaware, which cracks all
over and actually smells of the dishvsser
after little use. But, happily for rs, the
Senate of the United States Ia composed of
men with brains and common sense. which
they proved a few days ago when they re-
fused by . large majority (Gov. Harris in
eluded) TO reduce the tariff on erockery. and
in all probability will increase the duty on
decorated chinaEare. ANKRfcua.

RIclelfeu,

Mr.. Barrett made his farewell appearance
in his almost unrivaled character of "Riche-
heu." This part is as instinct with art as
anything that the actor does. Barrett has
evidently schooled himself well to the craft,
the intellectually and the sdblimity Of the
part. In the minntest details the actor is
never forgetfu OF his art She is bis mis-
tress only that he may become her m aster.
Mr.. Barrett's @Richelieu" is probably as
finished and as picturesque an impersona-
ton as Mr.. Booths. The costumes of the
actor were unusually rich and beautiful.
Mr.. james was the best "DeMauprat" the
writer has ever seen. He gave it a life and
insouciance seldom seen in the part. Mr..
Mosley was no less excellent as "Baradas."
Miss Wainwright made of the part of Julie"
far more than is customary, and the scene
between her and the cardinal was one to be
remembered. Miss Batchelder was a pretty
| and piquant marion" The remainder Of

WILLIAM Z. HITE.
A Card.
To the Public

To the Public:
My name having been published 10 the
papers of Thursday, charged with cruelty
working one of my mules, I wish to state
the following facts, and let the public be the
judge OF the question whether am cruel to
my stock or not. Some time ago I made
complaint to the Council OF the District that
drivers were being required to throw off
their loads in The Streets and stated that
had been compelled 10 pay for two bales of
cotton lost 10 consequences, and Mr.. Robin
son for several. The Council instructed the
president to write Mr.. Lane a note on the
subject and endeavor to arrange the matter
80 loss would NOT happen in future. This he
did, which seems to have caused Mr.. Lanes
anger to rise against me. On Wednesday
and Thursday he arrested two of my teams
and carried them before Justice J. M. Cole
man, and was fined S. and costs in each
case. On Wednesday after the arrest be said
to me: II will chow You that some one else
in this Dietrict has some power besides the
Council, and / will teach you to complain
about me to Them" This think conclu-
sively shows malice. Ny mules are all
young mules, and will leave it to any one
familiar with mules to say if it is not an i'm
possibility to work them without CALLING
them some at first. am not antagonistic to
the society, and believe it has and does .
great deal of good, but do ask that my
property be protected when / am forced to
unload in the streets and abandon it, and
that l be shown the same consideration as
others who work young mules and gall them
and are not arrested for Il. L. WALLACE.
