NILE. RnEA AS 4 BOv.
She Makes n sprightIy and Handsome
Roman Youth.

nile. Rhea appeared before hne audi-
ence at the theatre last night III the
somedy THE Power Of Love-" a transia-
tan OF Victorien Sardou's "Piccolino,"
which had great success at the Paris
Gymnase years ago, and has since Jnen
furnished the text for two operas. The
story OF the piece Is romance OF the love
of a ; Eiss girl for a Partisan artist. The
artist is as tickle as he IS clever, and after
I VoWfug all kinds of things TO the noun
tain beauty he leaves her, goes tQ(Rome,
where he falls 10 love with a Countess
and forgets her. Martina the peasant
! girl, cannot, however, forget her lover,
and so sets out to find himT and, disEuis-
! ing herself in boys attipo, secures a situ-
/ alton in his studio, where she watches
over him.
Finding that her lover neglects his work
on account of his love for the countess,
she completes statue of Hope, sends 10
10 the exhibition in the name Of the artist,
and so secures for him the first prize. 10
the end, Of course, the Tecreant lover sees
clearly that 1T is the maid Of the noun
tains that be loves, and 80 when Martha"
once more appears before him in her own
attire as maiden he avows his love, is
accepted, and all ends happily after the
most approved comedy method.
The first act affords Mile. Rhea but little
opportunity, but the lack of interesting
material in the opening scenes of the com
edy is amply at0ned for later when
Mile. Rhea has assumed the
name and garb OF the boy "PIccolinO."
The role Is new one for Rbea, but it was
charmIugly acted. In dOnning the dress
and character OF boy, her well-prOpOr-
toned figure lends Itself gracefully TO the
outlines OF male habiliments, Her con-
ception OF the character OF ''Picc0lino" is
delicate and at the same time mastery,
and the artist was repeatedly applauded.
At the end OF the third act she was enthu-
siastically recalled, Her support is
good. Mr.. George Learock, as the artist.
Is the leading man OF the company.
Miss Adelaide Fitzallen, as the countess,
is a pleasing actress and was we'll
received.
This afternoon Rhea will appear as
Peggy" in the charming comedy, "The
Country Girl.' The play was originally
1.-THE Country Wife, by Wycherly, and
had a latitude that suited the taste Of the
age OF Charles H., hutn that of to-day.
1t was altered by David Garrick, and is
still further mOdernized by Augustin
DAILY, by whom 1t was presented to Mile.
Rhea. Tonight she will appear In an
other of Sardou's plays, "A Dangerous
Game" 1t is not necessary to speak of
the play in detail, since ga Dangerous
Game" is only another name for "Ar-
cadia," which Mile. Rhea has produced
with such great success. The sale of re-
served seats for the matinee began yes
.erday morning, and full houses are as
sufed at both this afternoon and to-nights
performances. These will be Rhea's fare
well performances, as she sails for France
in Nav.

WOMAN FOUNb GUILTY.
Trial in the City Court Revives a
Christmas Eve Array.

Trial in the City Court Revives a
Christmas Eve Array.
A young woman who answered to the
name, Edith Anderson, was the prosecu-
trix in an assault and battery case against
Mrs. Henrietta Rudolph in the City Court
yesterday. Considerable evidence was
introduced, which proved that the bat
-Sry occurred on last Christmas eve. The
testimony bearing on the assault was less
positive and direct. According to the
prOsecutrix an assault was committed
on the sidewalk at Bay and Montgomery
streets. The defendant denied that an
assault occurred, but admitted that she
ordered the young woman out of her bar
room and of OF the premises. A
smooth faced young man who saw the
row testified hesltatingly and obviously
about the facts. He described the ARRAY
as a fight between the two women. The
case was heard before the court and
Judge Harden decided that the accused
Was guilty. As she has a large family of
children the Judge was lenient and sus-
pended sentence.

Editor N0ralnq Ne1oS; 1t was with no
great surprise that / read this morning
Senator Browns wholly condescending
and half contemptuous remarks in pre-
senting to the Senate the Savannah petit
ton IN favor Of discOntinuance OF the
coinage OF the &c. silver dollar.
When Mr.. Brown said that certainly
nine-tenths OF the people OF Georgia were
opposed to the request contained IN the
Savannah petition. / cannot think ne De-
lieved himself 10 be speaking the truth.
Perhaps nine-tenths know little or nothing
OF the merts of the question. and the aDle
Senator counts on being able to carry them
his way by force of brilliant rhetoric and
shallow logic. OF that class of the voters
in Georgia who may reasonably be sup
posed TO have some little information on
the subject, ] will venture to say that at
least three-fOurths are persuaded that the
continuance OF the coinage OF the blanu
silver dollar is almost an unmixed evil.
To attempt to enforce the circulation OIL
an undesirable currency is sure way TO
depreclate il In public estimation and con
tidence. AS a matter OF fact we see silver
quoted in London to-day at 463<d, about
cd below the usual average, and this in
the very face of our governments pater-
nally protective schedule.
a decline in silver hurts the South by
depressing the value of cotton; the pres
enL low price OF the former is largely re-
spoDslble for the present disastriously I'M
profitable price OF our chief staple. 1t
affects wheat also III the same way, and
hence Indirectly all our great products.
Whenever silver goes down prices are
lowered on offers of East Indian cotton
and wheat as telegraphed TO Europe.
| doubt not that almost without eXcep-
fiOD OlIr qOffOu mon local faQfora and fQr-
eign exporters would agree that it silver
were to recover the cd. decline per ounce
cotton would quickly respond with
scarcely less than a half cent advance,
about $4,000, 900 on our crop.
Mr.. Browns argument about silver's
having done so much good in averting
panics, etc, is not worth a breath; what
he says in behalf of silver coinage could
with equal or greater force be employed
III the deieuse of the most atrocIOus green
back heresies.
But ] did not intend to enter into dis
cussion of the merits of the silver ques-
ton. ] only wished, as one of the siguers
OF the petitiOn-one OF the "most intelli-
gent and respectablev-tO express a little
OF the indignation which | find nearly all
our people feel at this exhibition Of dema-
gOgism.
We are disposed to raise at least fee
BILE voice OF protest when Senator Brown
arrogates to himself all the sense OF the
state of Georgia, notwithstanding the
fact that he is very able man. Itwould
be a great deal better for our people
were they represented in Washington by
men Of less ability, possibly, but greater
willingness to accede TO the clearly indi-
Gated bias and desires of the "most in
telligent and respectable OF their con.
stituents. DEMoCRITUs.
