Drunk ia the Face.

L. r. Stockwell, the comedian.
who played Carderousse. in Monte
Cristo :" is an actor who knows how
to act an artistic drunk. 1t is the
general belief that man who acts
in drunken scene has only to fall
over a few chairs. stumble around
promiscuously, and he is doing it
to the life. Stockwell manages to
do most of the acting with his face
and his mobile countenance passes
through all the stages of good ma
ture. Indifference, suspicion and ex-
citability. How many men do We
see who are drunk clear through
and rarely stumble. Stockwell keeps
his feet all the while. and when he
makes any false motions it is with
his hands, face and body, rarely
ever with his legs, and his drunk
enness is the acme of good natural
acting, without ever being coarse
or offensive. A good many actors
might pick up some useful hints
from Stockwell's stage DRINKS.

On the miniature field OF battle, the

B 1t not with such zeal we played it, but
only when evening came
We bent DER the board together, and
taught you the grand old game.
Tie moves were learned hut slowly, and
too often wore wrongly moda.
And we whispered over the c!lese-hocrf',
half forgetting the game we played :;
Then. with q blush, Grick starting, you
turned to thu hoard once more,
And checked my king with bishop

And many a e1na was Lost nv me that I
might with ease have won,
To watch the innocent pride, my love, in
your eyes when the play was done.
Do you think you could play 10 e game to-

Instead OF my king would you check
your own as you did in days gona by?

taught you the game Of chess.

long as your eyes met mine,
With the sweet, shy look that I knew

And, whether in victory or defeat, my
heart a fond hope held fast,
And fortune smiled on the game Tplayed
for captured my queen at last.

The Republican Party ia Coos:
Condition.

|
New York, November 15.-The
Sun looking over the political
field concludes that the Republi-
can party is in better condition
than before the election. 1t says
the losses it has suffered through
the withdrawal of the Independ
ents, have been made up by the &C
cession Of Irishmen and working
men who went over from the Dem
ocrat. in large numbers. There
never before was party which
gained at once such body Of ea~-
nest and valuable material from
the very bone and sinew of the
country, while there is no sense in
the idea that either of the two par
ties will be broken up at pr s
ent. The Republicans are poiiti-
cally in much the better condition
Of the two. They ara compact
union. There is no difference of
opinion Or of purpose among them,
The discordant elements have gone
out, and the army which remains
is peerless for steadiness, and was
disciplined BY the defeat of last
week rather than destroyed by it.
Considered merely az political Or
ganization, the Republican party is
in good fighting order.
