RAILROAD TO GBORGEfoWh.
A resident Of Georgetown, FL Dorado
county, seems to think that section OF the
State one Of the beat on the coast. He ssYs
" Georgetown il again happy over her min-
ing and railroad prospects. We are going to
have 3 railroad noT before PlaesrEille gets
| one, and il won't be none Of your narrow
gauge concerns either. Ben Shepherd can
! figure the closest Of any man in town figures
won't lisl, and be calculates that the iron
horse will be steauipg mp this divide before
| the close Of 1884, and that not less than $50
stamps viii be constantly 81 work on ore in
this vicinity. Perhaps our PlscerYille neigh
bors think I'm gsssi1g, ss Cheek said when
be frzt uncovered the new Eureka lode, but
we predict that Georgetown will be the live
Hest town il the county before many
years. We've got the bottom on which
to build. Why, gentlemen, this divide
has the most accessible expanse Of fine
timber to be had in the State; the
largest amount Of the hest agricultural
land now uaoccupied to be found ia sight Of
the State Capitol; TIE bsst irrigating taciii
ties in the foothjn belt: the best and most
Fromising mining region in the State the
most extensive quarries OF the best limestone
in the world large bodies Of superior iron
ore, chrome ore, asbestus, silver and copper
ore. This divide Is most favorable TO diyerzi-
fed pursuits-dairyinP, fruit growing, hay,
grain and potato growing, FISH culture, manu-
featuring, mining, etc. And higher up in
the region cf tsunarack, lskelets. meadows aud
snJW, il q summer resort which few places
in the world can excel. Weatworth's health
restoring spring are already attracting hun
dreds Of people that way. as is also Hun
sucker sparkling and delicious soda springs
q few miles beyond. All this IS true, and
much mere could be said Of our advantages,
which, when once the iron horse speeds this
way, will induce thousands Of industrious
people to come snd plant prosperous homes.
METROPOLITAN THEATER. Madame Mod
jsska at the Metropolitan Theater lagt ever
ing in Adrienne Lecouvreur, was welcomed
By the larges. and most brilliant audience
that has assembled for any dramatic per.
Torrance in the theater since its reconstFuc-
tiQn, in fact it was an audience of the highest
character, and one that 10 numbers fully
tested tho capacity of the theater. Concern
ing Modjaska as ar actress this journal spoke
on the occasion Of her first appearance here,
SIX years ago, in terms warmly recognizing
HeE EEulLbs al1 tuc BAAt4A-A4Gy ca LEG arr, and
predicted for her che successful career at the
East which she reslizsd. She stands to-day
among the few great actresses Of the period.
Beyond increased familiarity with the English
language, there is 10 striking change in her
manner on the stage. She reads with greater
ease and clearness, and she is, perhaps, more
finished in her methods of working out tho
details Of The dramatic picture. Appearing |
in the same character, and 30 soon after
Madame Ellmenreich, comparison iorces |
itself, aud it does not detract from the i'm. !
PRESERVATION by the latter lady. The Ad- |
rienne of Ellmenreieh was stronger, ino-e |
vigorous, marked by deeper emotions and |
passions, and altogether the more forcibly |
read and striking personatioa. That of |
Modjeska was more tender, trustfui, less |
effortful and studied, and more womanlv, |
Ellmenreich moved deeply and stirred the
heart in its depths, where Modjeska awak-
ened but tender sympathy. Modjeska is
the more accomplished and self-possessed
woman on the stage, Ellmenreich the more
powerful aud not less graceful artist. The
support Of Madame Modjeska, with the
solitary exception Of Mr.. Owen as Michinnet
was disappointing, and by no means equal to
60 the demands of so finished AN artist Mr..
Barrymore, an accomplished actor did not
present Maurice de Sake as parsonage Of
impressiveness Of character or bearing, and
failed to convince the audience Of the
bravery and gsllantry of the soldier, or the |
deep sincerity Of the lover. In strong con-
trast to the nerveless character Of the re-
msinder of the support was the faithful
work of MIR. Owen as the promptor. II was
touch Of nature. Madame ModjeskA was
called before the curtain at the close Of every
act, and her reception YVES the warmest and
most generous accorded an artist here in
many years.
