From the Boston Herald.

"MavOurneen" was the talisman
which served to pack the Bowdoin
Square Treatre last evening to over
flowing, and Chauncey Olcott was
the stellar attraction. 1t is a
comedy-drama of superior merit,
and is about evenly blended with
pathos and humor, and is well sup
piled with bright Irish wit. The
scenery is of the best, the costumes
of the 18th century are elegant and
appropriate, and the company one
of the best to present piece made
up for the most part of Irish char
acters and depicting scenes in Ire
land a hundred years ago.
There are no colleens with
tucked up skirts and red riding
hood cloaks, no impossible Irish
man wandering about with guitars
on their backs, silk stockings and
velvet coats. All the situations
are eminently natural and the dia-
logue clever. In short, it is a
pretty domestic story, well told
and charmingly acted.
There is not dull moment in
the play, and Mr.. Olcott has been
surrounded by an excellent COM
pany of players, including many
we'll known to Boston.

for new line between America and
Australasia are on the stocks in an Eng

Don't Know President Cnrnot.

It will be very difficult for NJ. Carnot
to manage constituent elements of the
force to be controlled, and he certainly
is not managing them successfully now.
They are growing impatient of the me-
diocre men he favors, perhaps little
ashamed of them, and there is dispo-
sition in consequence to fasten RESPONSE
bility on him personally in manner
quite new. If hepersists in his plan, we
may see surprises as NJ. de Blowitz
recently said, which will tax to the ut
most the presidents popularity and fur
nish u final test of character still ex-
ceedingly obscure.
NJ. Carnot has reigned for six years
and is not well known yet. And when
that happens in such place as Paris to
a man in such position there are usual
ly only two explanations of the fact that
are worth consideration. Either the
character is abnormally reserved-in
fact, deliberately concealed one, a very
rare occurrence in France. where silence
is resented-or there is no particular
character TO be detected by observation.
Nobody is quite so hard to read as man
in high place who has nothing in him,
and that, after all, may be the explana-
ton of President Carnot.-London Spec

Besides, the thing would have to have a

Britain's Bitter Political Struggle.

The final passage of the home rule bill
by the commons now seems to be in
sight. The committee stage may be
vexatious and slow, but the bill will go
through within a reasonable time and be
sent to its death in the house of lords.
That the dead bill will in the end prove
a weapon with which the house of peers
itself will be struck down is confidently
predicted by the Liberal leaders. Before
that day comes, however, Britain must
pass through the bitterest political strug-
gle of her modern history, and strug-
gle which will involve issues far greater
