wrath of the Celestials, Mr.. Fox next,
and very speedily achieved his own dis
appearance.

"LittIe Lord FauntIeroy.n

1t seems thata chapter in the dramatic
book OF life is to open here, which will
address itself to the tender side of human
nature. This chapter is entitled Little
Lord Fduntleroy. 1t is already familiar
to many in the form of Mrs. Burnett's
charming book. The interest will, of
course, center in the child character of
the Little Lord" although it is an
nouneed that the company is a we'll
chosen and capable one throughout.
The demand for seats has been re-
markable, and the indications point to
successful season by the Grand Opera

thoroughly interesting plays appear to
have taken wonderful hold on the

it also pays is made evident by the fact
that nearly half million dollars will

TWO KINDS OF METHODS.

The first day of the conflict between the
Producers Association and the middle
men in the milk trade does not seem to have
crowned the policy of shutting off the sup
ply with any glittering success. The milk
dealers profess to have been able to obtain
supplies for their trade; and, so far as can
be perceived from the outside, the principal
losers are those producers who, by the edict
of the association, have cut down their
shipments IS per cent.
Claims are made that the grip of the asso-
citation will be demonstrated in day or
two; but the fact that the milk supply is
easily increased makes it doubtful if the
actual result may not be the other way.
But another project of the association,
namely, that of directly supplying retailers
and consumers promises more of an out
come. That is a legitimate way of de-
creasing the cost of taking the product from
the producer to the consumer. There is
little doubt that the middlemen's charges
have been large, and an organization which
reduces that margin by controlling large
trade will be likely to confer equal ad-
vantages upon the farmer and the city con-
sumer.
The sooner the Producers Association
enters upon that legitimate effort to control
the milk trade, and abandons the illegiti-
mate attempt to create artificial scarcity,
the sooner will it aid the farmer by increased
competition and increased consumption for
its product

MUSIC FOE a SNAKE DANCE.
A Serpent Orchestra Plays Grand March
for n Reptilfau Ball.


1t does me good to read so many solemn
truths about snakes, writes Beecher City, H..
correspondent Of the st. Louis Repuottc. l
would like to shake hands with those who have
been relating them. 1t makes me feel young
once more, and brings to my mind the days
when was barefoot boy with one suspender
and sore toe. I like to read the old-fash1oneo
truths.
1recollect once, when l was q boy, found
two tin cans that had been used for holding
baking powder. poured some shot into the
cans and carried them around to rattle. was
in the orchard one evening, and, seeing some
apples that wanted, laid my cans down and
Skinned up the tree. On coming down Was
Mortified to see two large snakes by the cans.
In my excitement 1 picked up stick and
struck the snakes a vicious blow, when, Jump
ing Jerusalem! them snakes flew right into
pieces, and, before recovered from my aston
ishment, had coupled onto the cans and were
streaking it for the woods Run? well should
say they did run. Every time the cans hit any
thing the would rattle and scare the snakes.
But the strangest part happened the next
day.
1 had to hunt the cows, and while going along
the bottom l heard a tremendous rattling in
the brush. slipped around to see what 1t was,
and what do you think it was? 1t was genu-
inc old-fashioned dance. Actual fact. There
were 40 snakes on the floor, besides several
spectators, who also had charge of the lemon

and we're hopping around Aon the stubby end.

cans, furnished music for the congregation by
lying across a log and raising the cans a little

GRIND Opera House.

1t is Impossible to bury the genius of MissMin-
ME Maddern out ofsight even IL bad play and
poor company are used as clods in the grave.
Miss Maddern's genius is as clear in How
ard P. Taylor's so-called picture of to-
day-it should have been called phan-
tasy of to-morrow-"Caprice," as it would be
in drama of power and sustained
interest. She is the same intensely human,
unconventional, perplexing, almost exasper-
ating, little package of nerves and brains that
has been wandering without compass in the
dramatic heavens ever since she left school.
Some day she will get into port and the whole
country will fall at her feet. But very few will
understand or grasp the real potency SO long as
she laughs and cries in such jungle of lmpos-
sibilities and small talk as Caprice"
But it was in Caprice that she braved her
first New York audience some five years ago,
and made the critics scratch their heads and
say nice and nasty things about her-beeause
they could not catalogue her easily, because
she was abnormal and not deferential to the
rules of the stage grandmothers. She's faith
full to the old rag baby still. and because she is
a genius she makes its poor old battered nose
look like live babys, puts a dimple in its
chin, sets fire to its eyes, and, in a word, sue
eeeds in making the public doubtful whether
it is so bad libel on the genuine article after
all.
Here is the story of Caprice" in a nutshell:
The heroine is a country girl. uncouth and un-
educated. A swell artist marries her; tire of
her, because of her lack of culture, In six
months; she leaves him after he has used harsh
words to her; in an impossible way gains an
education without anyone's knowledge; con-
ceals her identity all the while, and finally
wins back her husband as young woman of
fashionable accomplishments. The story is
absurd, and it is poorly told. But the heroine
in Miss Madderns hands is warm-hearted
little woman, full of kittenish charm and
girlshness. A thoroughly sweet child. in fact
At the parting from her cad of a husband Miss
Maddern's control of pathos is grandly shown.
In dashes and splashes here and there she
wins the audience to laughter and tears. Be-
side her there is no one in the cast who can act.
Mr. John Jennings is capital as her unsophis-
also fairly good. The rest of the company
seems to lack the experience that years bring
They are too young and innocent. The play
except in the first act, was not staged At all
well. The waits between the acts were very
disagreeably long.

PITTsBURG, TUESDAY, APR. 9, 1859.
PTTTsBURG,s BATTLE.

The reports from business circles show
the mercantile and manufacturing interests
to be getting fully awake to the Importance
of the agitation on the question of railway
rates. The recognition is almost universal
that in this matter are bound up the future
of Pittsburg and the question whether our
city shall gain the full benefit of its natural
advantages or have its growth limited and
restrained by adverse railway charges.
The very vital fact is pointed out by one
wholesale merchant, that we have in the
Constitution very complete system of regu-
lation for State railways, which has re-
mained dead letter for fifteen years because
railroad influence prevented its enforce
menL This is a fact to which The DIS
PATCH has often adverted, and it is made
the more cogent because these very pro-
visions Of the fundamental law are evaded
in the compact by which the South Penn
road was strangled. However it may be
necessary to support the Constitution with
provisions requiring a more reasonable pro-
portion between State and Interstate rates,
it is certainly good platform for the start
to insist on enforcing the constitutional
provisions that we have.
To add TO the force of awakening public
opinion Mr.. Carnegie gave the members of
the Legislature last night a very lively
statement of the needs and wishes of our in
dustrial interests. If Mr.. Carnegie sue
ceeds in waking up the Legislature as he
has aroused Pittsburg, he can congratulate
himself on a great success.

harris Theater.

For some time past the performances at this
house have been of high character, but none
were more enjoyable than the bill of the pres
ent week. A capable company is giving Hood
man Blind, F" with good scenery and effects, and
as result the standing room of the theater
will doubtless be filed all the week. As an
emotional drama, "Hoodmau Blind is a sue
cess The plot is clear cut and well told, and
in no portion of the play is it allowed to drag.
Pretty pictures of rural English life alternate
with sQualld scenes in London slums in strik-
ing contrast, and the honest heart that beats
beneath the village blacksmith's jacket is ex-
posed in high relief side by side with the sordid,
grasping nature of brute in the form of
smooth-tongued land agent who stops not even
at murder to gain his treacherous ends. The
dual roles of Nance and Jess, sisters, are ex-
cellently portrayed by Miss Eva Mountford,
who several times rises far above even the re-
quirements of the play. Especially is this
true In the ''spinny" scene and on the Thames
embankment where, driven to desperation by
being cast OF by the lover to whom she was so
true, she attempts to suicide and is rescued by
Jack YeuLett (Hamilton Harris), character,
by the way, that is assumed in a very manly,
careful way. Others in the cast deserving es-
pecial praise are Elmer Grandin as Mark Lez-
card his partner, Thomas Fitzgerald, Tony
Eddinger, typical country tavernKeeper, Miss
Carrie Elberts as crippled waif ]. E. Nc
Gregor as Tom LdtttkeT, Harry Rogers as the
blacksmith, who can also sing and dance quite
blacksmith's bonny bride, and little Miss Bella
McGregor as Kit, Jacks child. All the others
in the long cast fill their places acceptably.
The play runs with that smoothness that comes
of a long acquaintance in good hands, and is
consequently pleasing to both eye and mind.

THE WORRY OF PATRONAGE.

The editorial deduction of the New York
Tribune from the visible effects of the worry
and strain to which the President has been
subjected of late, is rather striking proof
of the logic of events. The Tribune among
the ranks of the civil service reformers is
almost as refreshing a novelty as Saul
among the prophets; yet that journal very
plainly declares that the greatest tax upon
General Harrison's strength has been from
the Office seekers during the past month. 1t
then proceeds to drive the nail home by in
dorsing ex-Secretary Endicott's assertion
that "civil service reform is a necessity, in
order to protect the health and life of a
President"
However conclusive this may seem to the
public mind, it will fall short of the occa-
sion by utterly failing to convince the Sena-
tors who have lately been finging up their
h1ndquarters over the Presidents exercise of
his appointing power. They are heroically
ready to stand in the breach and relieve the
President of all trouble. They will jointly
and severally undertake to bear the worry
of selecting the appointees from their re-
spective States. Their theory of govern
ment has been announced to the effect that
the members of the Legislature should WELD
the nominating power and bear the response
bility With the Offices parceled out to the
Senators and Congressman, they think that
the strain upon Presidential strength might
be wholly taken away, and any damage in
the past could be wholly recuperated by let
ting the President 60 fishing.
This plan seems admirably adapted for
relieving the President, alike of trouble, re-
sponsibility and authority. The Senators
seem confident of their ability to stand the
strain; but after few years of that sort of
appointments the people might worry them
a good deal.
