Pastoral Dramn.

AS typiied by Sedley Browns "a Long Lane,
or Pine Meadow" Is getting in its work nicely at
the Bush-street. The play is full of telling stu
atiOns and clever dialogue. The story on which
It is founded is not all fiction but related to
Mr.. Brown a narrative OF facts in sight OF the
one occasion when lie had gone TO New England
10 eat his Thanksgiving dinner. In constructing
the piece he has put city and rural lie in sharp
contrast-the happiness and contentment Of the
heroine on the Pine Meadow farm, before The
spoer came. and the long lane Of suffering
through which she passed when she wandered
away from it TO the great metropolis. The
scenic artists contribution TO the general inter-
est is ample; the pictures are well painted aud
well illustrate The different scenes. AT The end
OF the present week the piece Will be Withdrawn.

Plttsburg paper, Eduard Strauss has written
letter from Cleveland in which lie has this to
say: "Ihe orchestra which | now have with me
Is my permanent orchestra, which | have taken
upon most of Ely European trips. Some mem
Ders have been with me ten years and over, and
one man twenty eight years. There is naturally
a change of one more instruments every sea

becomes a regular member OF the Strauss Or

held rebeaTsals every day on shipboard Is a
foolish falsehUod The Instruments could none

the marriage proved unhappy and the
courts declared the union Illegal. The
actress played after this in ST. Petersburg,
where she met Schevitsch, who became
enamored of her. Schevitseh belonged TO
an old Russian family and his grandfather
was Russian General in The Napoleonic
war. He was educated in German uni

brother, who was Governor of province,
was appointed Secretary of the Russian
Senate. Resigning this office he followed
