"Thc Jilt," by Dion Boucicault, was the
play at the National last night, and n large
audience enjoyed it thoroughly. It has
been seen here before, but that does not
lessen its merit, for merit IL has superior
TO the great majority of modern plays. 1t
is rare bit of comedy, "as sweet as the
breath of cow as clean rs square of
blue sky, and IL is played by company
of people whose parts fit them and they
their parts, as the shell fits an egg. Mr..
Boucicault, as My'cs O'Hdrd, Of course,
led the interest, but not because the part
was written to show him off, for the play
is an even balance from end to end.
What he does he always does well. Miss
Julia Stuart, as PWis, q charming little
woman, with a fine face, an exquisite fig
ure and the born grace of all actress,
won her spurs in the most enthusiastic
style. Miss Thorndyke, as K1iy; Miss
Gordon, as Lddy MiccBt, and Miss Bar
Der, as MS. lPeHcr, held second place, and
all the others passed under tile wire SO
close that blanket would have covered
the bunch. "The Jit' is horse play
utterly devoid of horse play, and the en-
thusiasm manifested by the audience was
almost equal to that seen on real race
track. Again tonight.

tunes form the basis of performance
which packed the house to the doors last

respects much superior to the average en-
tertainment of is kind. The Miranda
sisters are very clever performers on the
trapczc; Mile. De Granville, the woman
with an iron jaw, won repeated applause,
while the I.aport sisters singing was we'll
received. The company contains an un-
usually large number Of pretty faces and
shaCcly forms. The entertainment CON
cludes with q burlesquc containing many

THE SAWYER GOLD MINE.
a Town TO be Built Near the Recent
Discoveries.

Discoveries.
Senator Sawyer has at last closed his
bargain for the gold mine recently discov.
cred near Washington, says a Tribune
special. The discovery was made by a
Georgia miner, who induced an ex-em-
plOye of Senator Sawyer to grub stake
with him. The two together purchased
options on all the property in the neigh
borhood and opened several shafts
on one farm. The quartz which
they mined produced from $40 to $40 a
ton Of actual rock. Senator Sawyer was
induced to advance So, 900 with which to
begin operations. He was thoroughly
satisfied with the result and finally
bought the farm upon which the quartz
was discovered for about 5000. He has
taken out with crude machinery about
500 pennyweights of refined gold, and
this week he purchased the interests of
the discOverers and now controls the en-
tire property.
The Senator's investments in this ven.
ture foot up TO about S60,0 thus far. He
has contracted for 100000 feet of lumber
to be delivered by way of the Chesapeake
and Ohio Canal from hls mills IN Wis.
cOnsin, and is preparing to start q town
around his property. The place is about
fifteen miles from Washington, and
every acre in the vicinity has been sold
outright orQn an option.
