Matlack-Van Z,le COMPANY

Albany Union: Last evening Mr.. Ben
nett Matlack appeared for the first time in
Albany at the Academy of Music, in the
character of the melancholy Dane. We
cannot but accord Mr.. Matlack with high
praise. In appearance he hears striking
resemblance to Keene and is not unlike him
in many of his readings. In his scene with
Ophelia he is especially good. The closet
scene was eXcellently done, and the same
may be said of the scene in the graveyard.
He has the decided advantage of looking
the character which with his musical, SYM
pathetic voice leaves but little to be desired
A more smoothly running and thoroughly
harmonious representation of Hamlet has
seldom been witnessed i'm Albany. Opera
House, Friday and Saturday, Nov. II and

Whether you drive single horse or a
team the principles are the same; but In
driving pair, see to 1t that each horse
does his share of the work and no more.
A pair of horses, moreover, unless well
driven. are sure TO get in the hsbit of wan
dering over the road. To drive well You
must keep your eye. and your mind on the
horse. Watch his ears. They will be
pricked forward when he Is about to shy,
droop when he is tired, fy back just be-
fore he breaks" Onto q gsllopl, and be-
fore he kicks. Before kicking, too, @
horse usually tucks in his tail and hunch-
es his back a little. When you observe
any of these indications, speak to him
sharply and pull up his head. You must
watch the road also. Turn out for stones
SO that the horse shall not stumble nor the
wheels Jolt over them; avoid the mud holes
and places where the going Is bad; let the
horse slacken speed when the road becomes
heavy, and If You want to make up slime
do Il where the ground slightly descends.
It is q common mistake TO think that
q horse can haul q carriage easily on the
level On such q road he has to be pull
ing every moment. There Is no rest.
Whereas, where the road now rises, and
now falls, the weight is taken of hin si
times, and he has chance to recover
his wind aud to rest his muscles. Az
between O level road In q valley and an
up and. down road over the hills, the lat
ter is by far the easier for q horse to
travel. When you come to q long level
stretch let your horse walk Q bit In the
middle eff Ii. Almost everybody knows
that for the frst few miles, after coming
out of the stable, a horse should be driv-
en- slowly, and especially IL he has Just
been fed. On journey 1t is of the ut
most Importance to observe this rule.
Be careful. however, not to check
young mag too quickly when he comes
fresh ont of the stable; give him his
head, talk to him soothingly, and pres-
entity he will come down TO a moderate
pace. If you pull him up at once you
vex him extremely, 90 much 60 that he
is not unlikely to kick.

GENIUS AND INSANITY.


It was long ago said that great wits are
near allied to madness, and the poet's In
sight has been corroborated by the soien-
lists Investigations. Professor Lombroso's
recent work on Genius and Insanity IN full
of intensely interesting facts and theories
concerning this matter, and now comes DR..
Mcdonald, and in the Arena makes nota-
BILE contribution to the discussion. He as
serts that in some cases IL is impossible to
discriminate between the two classes of
mental phenomena, SO impsrceptibls and
varying is the line that divides them; and
he ssserts that ''more people of great gen.
ius exhibit manifestations of insanity than
do persons with ordinary mental faculties. :"
DIR. Mcdonald fortifes his conclusions not
only by quotations from the highest med
ical and scientific authorities but by the
observations of celebrated men. Aris-
totle declared that persons often become
poets, prophets and sibyls under the infu-
ence of q congestion of the head. Dsmoori-
tus held that insanity is an essential con-
dition of poetry. Pascal maintained that
'extr eme mind is close to extreme insan-
ity." Mirabeau affirmed that common
sense is the absence of unc ommon passion.
Socrates believed that he held conver.
sations with his familiar demon. Cesar
and Peter the Great were epileptics.
Raphael was tempted to suicide. De-
mosthenes, Newton and Voltaire were
feeble children. Richelieu had fits
of insanity. Goethe, Descartes and
Cromwell were pursued by strange phsn-
toms. Among others of eminenee, who
have shown symptoms of mental derange-
ment, were Loyols, Luther, Mohammed,
Moliere, Mozart, Nine. De Stael, Swift,
johnson, Goldsmith, Shelley, Byron, Lamb,
Burns, Bach, Handel and Beethoven. tits
somewhat singular that DR.. Mcdonald does
not mention Chatterton, whose suicide CO.
CURED while he was yet a youth.
And much more to the same effect. But
1t will not be reasonable for those who
have queer notions to come to the conclu-
sion that they are also possessed of genius.
Genius may be near allied to madness. but
1t doen't follow that madness is near allied
to genius.

FASHION NOTES.
For Large Women TO Avoi

The very big woman who rigs herself in
wide shoulder cape and with big sleeves
beneath is an impressive spectacle. Such
a woman is called a fine figure of wo-
man, is broad hipped and deep chestsd,
and is the sort of a person who would
look impressively classic in Greek draper
les of the severer type. But get her into
a Napoleon hat and an 1880 cape and the
wonder is that the csr-eonductors do not
charge her double. By the way, no one
with any sense of humor can wear one of
those Napoleon cooked hats and long
cloth cape without strong desire stirring
