Two Large Gatherings at the oper'
House Yesterday.

Two Large Gatherings at the opcrs
House Yesterday.
There was a large assemblage OF the
! fashionable theatre-goers at the opera
House, yesterday, to enjoy the matinee
Robert Mantell was the attraction. Man
tell is an actor who delights and enter
tans the general teeatre-goer. HIS hand-
some physical appearance, his manly
bearing, Licely nodded features ana
general intelligence in his work are the
chief factors In this gentleman's de-
served popularity.
In word, Mantell pins the ladies TO
the seats. Yesterday afternoon double
bill was produced, opening with one
act drama, "A Lesson in Acting" In
which the star took the part OF Maurice
Lasarge, followed by the iye-act ro-
mantle drama, THE Louisianian." The
play made an excellent impression. IL
is picturesque. The construction Is eN-
celent and the various situations are
handled In manner calculated TO bring
out the best effect. The 1eriod OF the
play lends romantic tinge, aud the va
rinus rolef were well sustained.
In the evening there was another
large HdtUtTluk w Stt NAohhN'i ~ W.
role OF O,heIlo. For this play Mr.. MAI
tell procured costumes, sce' cry and pro
pertes at the time OF the SAFE OF the Ell
fects OF the late Lawrence Barrett, and
the pablo has been familiar for many
years with the rare fidelity To time and
custom which marked the management
OF that great actor. Mantelfs concep-
tlon OF o hello will challenge comment,
II not criticism. He dresses Othello az a
Venetian and not as u Moo He do :
not blacken his face, as is g. 1erally tho
case with actors who portray this char
acter. as he regards the Moorish race OF
rather more OF tawny yellow color
than black. Mr. Mantell invests the
character with more Of courtly grace
than one is accustomed to see. at the
same time preserving the majestic bear
ing and an air OF freedom which tho
actor conceives 70 be part OF tho
Moorish character.

shows the high rate Of mortality among
public men. do not mean alone natu-
raj mortality, though the congressional
death rate is unusually high, but the
difficulty men find in keeping them
selves in power and the rapidity with
which veterans are crowded back into
retirement as new men push to the
front.
THAT was great congress which met
here twenty-five years ago. 1t was just
after the war, when the men who had
been tried in the fiery furnaces of battle,
and in the crucial test OF congressional
life throughout those stormy days, were
the men Of the hour. 1t was a period in
which the best blood and brain OF the
nation were foremost in all public az
fairs.
."Of 800 men who were in congress a
quarter OF a century ago nearly 100 bore
names which were then or have since
become household words througout the
country. I'll mention some OF them,
merely to point my moral. There were
in the senate Charles Summer. Benjamin
