it is over, Mr.. Webb has good reason
to iatter himself that the victory is bis;
and Chauncey, on the other side of
the Atlantic, is no doubt thanking
heaven that the low came during HE
absence fro n home and that strikers
and spectators believe that had he
been home, there would have been no
trouble. Cornelius Vanderbilt ack-
nowledges himself well satisfied with
the management of the officers Of the
road. which has disturbed his prepara-
tions for a dinner at the Newport cot
tage only by kilograms saying that
call Is WE'LL"
The conduct Of the men has been ex-
cei.ant all through; they have done
nothiGs rough, but have behaved in
the most exemplary manner. At East
Syracuse, n. Y, the militia was called
out, but went back home again, and
although men all along the line were
ready for duty they were not needed,
Governor Hill making it plainly un-
derstood that there was a difference
between police and militia duty.
Which was clever on his part and will
win him golden opinions in the mind
of the knight when Presidentia voting
comes again. He will have that to
match against Chaunoey's good fortune
in being abroad.
The Tribune is agitating the question
already and really seems to exist for
political purposes only. The main
strength of the paper is put into the
leading editorial; the rest takes care
of itself. The antics of the editorials
remind one of the pantomime; all
gesticUlating and jumping but pothing
said. This morning the editor was
very profound aud majestic in his re-
marks on the Edmund's motion to linn
it speeches on the Tariff Bill to five
minutes each. Bah! why not 60 to
the root of the matter and limit the
bill? Better still, talk not at all-merely
consider the thing dead. There would
be some sense in that.

the Tribune could ever be brought TO
take that view of it, for that learned
sheet considers that every moment
spent in discussion of that wonderful
bill is SO much money out of the pock-
ct of the poor working man. Really
if you read the Tribune on the subject
you will find yourself requesting your
friends to sing and play dirges and
funeral marches. The effect might be
disastrous in warm weather. It Is
more entertaining to go to the theatres
where you breathe iced air and watch
Beau Brummel bow and smile or zee
Marie Tempest In bright red hussar
costume.
Beau Brummel confines red to his
hair, carefully shakes his hands in the
air until every drop of blood has left
them, and pollshes his nails and finger
tips with delicate lace handkerchief.
Richard Mansfield has played many
parts and has been satisfactory always
as an artist, but he lacks the quality
of making you suffer with him; of en-
thusing you. Even in this wonderful
Beau Brummel, where there are two
or three touching sceues, he fails to
reach the sympathy. An idea that it
is ill-bred to be strong, to let yourself
out, seems to hold him In constant
check. IF only he would once permit
himself to run the length of his impulse
he would do something great. He is
restrained; Marie Tempest is composed.
She sings the bright, catchy music
of the Red Hussar with much energy
and grace. She came over from Eng
land few weeks ago and since her ar
rival has been experimenting the re-
hearsals and att nding to all details
herself. AS the company is exception
ally dull, she has had hard work. Her
efforts have been successful, how ever,
as the opera is 'go" and herself
great success.
II is hoped she will inaugurate new
school of comic opera in which singing
and acting will be required, as we'll as
the ability to wear few clothes and
pose. ELLIS.
