an address on the topic, "why We need a
Young Mems Christian Association in
Memphis" but owing to the lateness Of
the hour excused himself. The audience
then sang, 'Blest Be the Tie That Binds"
and the benediction was pronounced
by the Rev. Eugene Daniel. The
audience was in the act OF
leaving, but Capt. Lee stated that he could
not let the occasion pass without speaking
his qualification, not only at the exercises
he had just listened to, but also Of the
work the association was doing, and the
duty Of every citizen to support it with
liberal means. Capt. Lee spoke quite
earnestly for five or ten minutes in this
strain, and the delighted people went to
their homes wishing the Y. NJ. O. A. God
speed.

REFORM 1T ALTOGETHER.


II was learned for the first time yester-
day, that John Jones had escaped from
the Work-house more than week ago.
This man was convicted OF murder last
fall, but, owing to one OF those peculiar
freaks which sometimes mark the opera
ton OF the law, TO the great mysti6cation
and distress OF tho public, he received
only sentence OF eleven months and
some days in tho Work-house. Now, one
would have supposed that Work-house
superintendent would at least see
that the miscarriage OF justice was not ag-
gravatcd by lenioncy on his part. But
what do we find that Superintendent
Mason has done? lie actually made this
criminal "trusty," thereby permitting
him, months in advance Of the expiration
Of his term, TO roam about the community.
This "trusty' has now escaped, and the
fact Of the escape Is concealed from

THEATRICAL TEARS,
Their Physiology Discussed by . FAmol
Medical Periodical.

Their Physiology Discussed by . Famous
Medical Periodical.
The question of theatrical tears, and
whether they be produced by the actor
Independently of real emotion, has
lately been discussed. The question
is not without interest, and has been
answered in various ways by different
actors, some contending that the high
est art in this direction is only seen
when the artist feels his part; while
others state that emotional conditions
in the actor are fatal to the highest
form of theatrical art. To how large
an extent our emotions are under con-
troll is patent to everybody, for much
of our early education is devoted en-
tirely to the formation of habits of
control in this direction. Emotions
are mainly reflex phenomena, and are
produced as the result of thoughts,
sounds or sights. 1t is very doubtful
whether an actor can stir up in his aud
fence the higher emotions unless he
abandon himself to the situation of the
play, and himself feels to some extent
the sorrows or terrors of the scene.
An actor who can only manage to stir
the emotions of the most easily moved
of his audience, whether to laughter
or tears, has gone a good way toward
success; for emotional states are so in
fictitious that the sound or sight of tears
or laughter is sure to cause the pre-
vailing emotion to spread. The really
great actor, however. must be capable
of doing something more than merely
touch the biggest fool of the audience
he must make his audience abso-
lutely forgetfui of itself. and be
himself the direct, and not tho indi-
rect, cause of the emotional state into
which it is thrown. To do this the
actor must be himself q person Of In.
tense feeling. and must for the time
experience the emotion he is seeking
to portray. Really great acting is .
matter of feeling rather than of rea-
soning intelligence, and we doubt
whether an actor who studies and puz-
zles too much over the snbtleties of the
author is not in danger of checking the
manifestations of his histrionic genius,
1t is well known fact that Master
Betty, the ''iIifant Roscius," could, as
a boy, stir the higher emotions of the
audience by his portrayal of Shake.
speare's masterpieces (the subtleties OF
which he most certainly could not un.
derstand), bat that his power was. SO
to say, knocked out of him by uni.
versity education, which probably
brought home to him the shortcomings
of his performances, and, by teaching
him to reason about his character, pre-
vented the feeling portrayal of the pre-
vailing emotions. Two of the greatest
actors of the present age-Salvini and
Ristori--both belong to the emotional
italian race, and it is impossible to be-
ieve that during the portrayal Of their
most successful parts they are not en-
tirely forgetful of themselves and en-.
crossed by the emotions Of the scene.
