It is less than eight weeks to the
Democratic National Convention at
St Louis and some interest in the
approaching Presidential election is

UNDER ALL THE circumstances, per
Traps, it would be well enough for the
Government to take the Washington
sword at the price named, although
we see no particular good to be sub
served by the purchase, excepting to
the seller. 1t is a rather delicate sub
ject OF controversy, and we trust
there will be no prolonged debate
over il. But we shall insist that the

"The patrons of the Park thea re last night witnessed for the first time James A.
 Herne's domestic drama, Drifting Apart, D
 which had its initial Brooklyn presenta- ton at the Lee Avenue Academy of Music fortnight ago. Inesmuch as the merits of the play and of its interpretation were passed upon in these columns so recently, it is only necessary to speak of its recep- tion last night. The audience of the Park theatre gave every evidence of liking the piece, and extended its favors iberally to Katherine Herne, James A. Herne, Kate Foley and Walter Perkins. The two latter, in their specalties, were heartily encored. The picturesque scenery was shown to advantage on the stage of the Park theatre and the choruses introduced
 were a pleasant feature. "-New York World. At the opera house tomorrow
