Although it may not at once be apparent TO
the thousands who nightly witness Mrs. Langtry
in her new role of Lena Despard at the Fifth
Avenue Theater, it is none the less true that her
portrayal of hatcharacter is very instructive.
and will do much to call public attention to the
danger of the now prevalent practice of the
habltual use OF narcotics, such as Chloral Md
opium to produce sleep and calm the nerves.
This feature of the play is made the more no
ticeahle by the palpable absurdity of her repre-
seutatiOn of the manner in which choral pro
duces death Dramatic, like poetic, license is
responsible for some very idiotic things, and
some very silly and untruthful ones, but none
more so than the death of Lena Despard as rem
dered by Mrs Langty. An overdose of choral
puts the victim to sleep, this quiet sleep deep
ening into coma OF absolute inconsistencies, IN
which condition the feeble flame of life dies out.
There IS no screaming, tumbhnR, dreSsrendlng
or frantic convulsive action of any kind, such us
she shows
But, presumably this glaring dramatic blum
der will do good by emphasizing the fact of
death and fixing in the public MUD the terrible
dangers of using such narcotics to calm the
nerves or produce sleep. The more so at this
day when every intelligent man and woman
should know that nature herself has given to the
world certain, yet harmless means for OBJ

The whole cause of choas and anarchy
seemed to possess each individual; and
yet, wonderful to relate, each individual
had very clear idea of what he was doing
and of what he had done and was likely
to do; he knew just what was going on,
what it all meant, at what point it might
be expected to change; he was ready be
tween the throbs of delirium, to turn aside
and exchange jest and a smile with al
acquaintance, or to retire to a corner and
have a little quiet conversation with a
business associate, and perhaps give or
receive an invitation 70 discuss a bird and
bottle after the exchange closed. Then,
of sudden, he would leap back into the
ring, and be instantly transformed into q
ferocious and chaotic maniac.

panum.

There was now a comparative lull for a
few moments, during which the whrlpools
broke up, and there was an extraordinary
running to and fro and erratic confusion, as
IT the moorings of all nature had broken
loose and each fragment was hurrying to
escape. Presently, with roar that outdid
all previous efforts, the worthless began to

CHAPTER Xxx.
PANIC.

Capt. Hamilton had a quality which, as
much perhaps as any other has been con-
ducive to human knowledge and the prog
ress of enlightment-the quality of curl
ositY He liked to inform himself as to
what other people were doing, and when
ever possible to see with his own eyes what
was going on. A city like New York af-
fords an almost inexhaustible field of OBJ
servation to the intelligent foreigner; and
among the many spectacles worth looking
at perhaps none yields in interest to that
Of Wall street when speculation is sharp,
and quotations are running up and down
like the waves Of a stormy sea.
One morning, shortly after the events
above narrated, the Captain found him
self on the lower part Of Broadway; and
as luck would have it, he suddenly
saw the broad back of Gilbert Cowran a
few PAGES in front of him on the side
walk. He quickened his steps and overlook
him.
"Oh, Hamilton, ~ said the lawyer, you
are just in time to see some fun. Have you

 ONE result of the Johnson murder trial has been the outdrawing of universal expression of commendation of the course of one of the sons of the accused. Himself occupying a position of trust and responsibility, respected by all who know him, he has stood beside his mother with filial regard tn t does him honor, sustained her in every possible way, and done all he could to mitigate the ef- feet of all necessary seventies of law. It was hard thing to do,i solely from sense of filial duty, but in this case it seems the natural act of one abundantly possessed of the best attri- butes of true manhood.
