AT THE THEATERS.

Criticism must retire and hide it's face
behind the face of fact '"The Rain
Makers" personified by Messrs. Dom
nelly and Girard, appeared at the Met.
ropolitan opera house and substanti-
ated their claim to the title Shortly
after O'Clock these two omnipotent
comedians touched off thsir explosives,
and 10! the rain came down. 1t not
only spattered on the stage, but dropped
upon the sidewalk in front of the Met
ropolitan opera house. Incidentally it
wet other sidewalks in ST. Paul. Who
shall say that these rainmakers are not
ION the square?" 1t would be folly
to doubt them. They inspired the first
drops that have fallen here in six
weeks.
But all consideration of rainmakers
aside-for it was long ago established
that the title of farce comedy never
has the remotest connection with the
piece itself-Donnelly and Girard, with
the assistance of Frank Dumont, the
author of 1.-THE Rainmakers," have
concocted, devised and put into work.
ing order, one of the most entertaining
farce comedies witnessed for several
seasons past. The concoction itself is
good, and for that the author deserves
credit; the specialties are performed by
artists, and for that, we conceive, DON
nelly and Girard must be credited.
Specialties, as they are termed, are
sometimes laborious and tedious. Again
they are i'll timed. They are neither in
''The Rainmakers." They are all ex-
ceedingly clever. Moreover, they are
unusually effective, inasmuch as they
are grouped jim the last act, which lasts
full hour or more. Unlike the farce
comedies which are known so well and
relish so stately, the specialties are not
permitted to interrupt the action Of
1.-The Rainmakers." They are all pre-
sented in succession. This is not exact
ly true of Eddie Girard, however, who is
living speciality, sui generis, every
moment he is on the stage. His every
move provokes a laugh. His voice is
indescribable, his dialect would stagger
the Oldest patron of farce comedy. He
should be heard not to be understood.
The company supporting Messrs.
Donnelly and Girard is beyond criti-
cism. There are no entertainers on the
stage who approach Charles Ross and
Mabel Fenton in their irresistible ira
vesties on the legitimate drama. Their
burlesaue of the crucial scene between
Fedora and Loris and the forum scene
of "Virginius" are the cleverest pieces
of work now before the public. The
Rogers brothers excel in their German
specialties, always winning many and
many an encore. Imro Fox is an un-
deniably amusing conjurer and slight
of hand man. and Belle Black sings
Paradise Alley and the kindred songs
of the day effectively.
AS for Mr. Donnelly, who has been
saved for the last, he is one of those
hearty, active, unctious comedians.
who makes the blues look ashamed OF
themselves the instant he appears on
the stage.
Those female footballists are pretty
girls, but their costumes are too llperal.
Beauty is sacrificed for a close mt.

How the r1oney Goes

Much comment is being made in Paris
and at the fashionable French watering
places over the extravaganza of young
Count Boni de Castellane, who, since tax
ing up his residence in the French capital
after his marriage with Miss Anna Gould,
has already spent no less than 100000
francs in the purchase of bric-a-brac
alone, says the Boston Transcript.
This does not include the lavish
subscriptions to all those popular funds
soi-disant in behalf Of charity, but which
the Partisan newspapers organize for the
purpose of advertising and booming their
circulation, nor yet the sums which he
has dropped at cards and on the race
course. When, in addition to this, 1t is
taken into consideration that he has pur-
chased, without even making an attempt
to discuss terms, several plats Of land IN
the most valuable quarter of Paris, and
that he is about to erect thereon, regard :
less of expense, modern reproduction OF
Queen Antoinette's Trianon, it must be
confessed that the young French noble
man is making the Gould dollars fly atf!a,
rate which would have considerably start
led the thrifty creator Of the immense
Goutd fortune.

cry was invented and in use in England
and on the Continent of Wexford, tanners
were content with the old out-of-date
mode and by degrees were put off the
market by the foreigners, who were ena-
bled by the improved machinery they
used to manufacture and sell their leather
far and away cheaper than the Wexford
men Had the latter replaced their old
machinery by the later and better kind
the tanning trade would be as fiourishing
today in County Wexford as it is in Eng
land.
Again let US take the kindred trade
boot making. Here in Ireland boots are
manufactured by hand In England and
elsewhere there are extensive factories
whose boots are made by machinery. 1t
stands to reason that hand manufactures
cannot compete with large factories, the
product of which may be sold at IS or IS
per pair while handmade boots must
fetch from rs to las to be remunerative.
Hence the handmade boot trade has al
most disappeared, the English machine
made boots being cheaper, have replaced
it. If, when machinery had superseded
hand labor in boos manufacture, some en-
terprising persons had opened boot fac
tories in this county in place of depending
upon hand labor, the trade would now be
fourishing, affording employment to nu-
merous hands, and Wexfordnlen would
be wearing the Wcxford-lnade boots in
place Of the English made ones. It is
similar with nail-making All nails at
present in use are imported from English
and other factories where they are manu-
factured by machinery, and those Of
course have annihilated the Irish hand
made trade.
And so on with everything else we use
in Ireland. 1t is disgrace to us that al
most every single requisite of everyday
life which we use is manufactured in
other countries, in many instances by
Irish hands in the factories of English
capitalists. These might all be manufac-
tured at home if our moneyed men had
only the enterprise and patriotism to in
vest their capital in Ireland. Then we
might press fors technical education
which would be of such enormous impor-
tance to operatives; but at present there
is comparatively little need for it.

SOUGHT TO BE A SOLDIER
Charles Summer Came Near Being
Lost as a statesman.


There is remarkable document on file
at the war department, the existence of
which was unknown until short time
ago, when it was accidentally discovered.
1t is q letter written by Charles Pinckney
Sumner to Hon. Philip Barbour, OF Vir-
ginia, secretary of war under John Quin-
cy Adams, asking for the appointment of
his eldest son, Charles Sumner, to the
rsi1itary academy at West Point. The
application was ignored. Charles Sum
ner went to Harvard University instead,
and died a senator of the United States,
and not disgruntled major Of infantry,
writes Beverly Crump.
The letter is written on page of fine
texture, yellow with age; the penman~
ship is fine and nsat, and very much re-
sembles the manuscript of the senator
forty years after.
The Endorsement on the back is:
"a.
achusetts-Sumner.
Appn. in ais behalf by his
Father c. P. Summer.
The letter is as follows:
Boston, % November, 1825-Sir: My
eldest son, Charles Sumner, is desirous of
being admitted as a 1nember of the Mill
tary Academy at West Point. He will be
is years old in January next. He is of
good constitution & in good health, altho'
unusually studious. He is well acquaint-
ed with Latin and Greek, is somewhat ac-
quainted with Arithmetic & Algebra &
French He is exceedingly we'll acquaint-
ed with history and Geography, both an
cient and modern. He knows the scenes
of many of the distinguished battles of
ancient and modern times. & the charac-
tiers of the Heroes who figured in them.
He has q. strong sense Of patriotic pride;
and devotion to the welfare and glory
of his country. He is now, at the Latin
School in Boston, & in August next will
be qualified to enter the university at
Cambridge.
fle prefers the academy at West
Point He is the oldest grandson Of the
decea sed Major JOB Sumner who served
with reputation in The army Of the Revo-
luton Whose only child ] am.
1t is not proper for me to devote him
like Hannibal to military life, and at his
present age l will not attempt it; but l
have the most respectful opinion of the
education that is generally bestowed upon
the Selected Sons of the Republic, wheth-
er a young man is destined to military
or civil life.
1 have not merit of my own If my
boys character and qualifications give
him any claim to Your good will, nope
he will receive it, I can produce but few
certificates in his favor I venture to
recommend him myself. as it may posi-
bly, be that no other recommendation is
necessary. Mr. Webster and Judge Story,
if questioned can say whether or'not I
would recommend any BODY son or no
son, whom did not believe to be per-
son OF merit. And the President Himself
may possible not be an utter stranger to
my name.

am not liable to any painful disappoint-
ment, whatever may be the result of this
application.

Tho Touch of Gods Hand.

All things work together fOr gOOQ LC
them that love God. The tears are not
all wiped away, the sorrows are not all
ended. the tribulations are not all over
but, because we know that God is love
and because we are living under His
roof and with Him, we know that the
sorrows and the tears are themselves
Gods nlinistering servants. We ne
|Ylonger think Of pain as penalty. and
when grief has come into OUR homes
wonder why God has set the seal Of his
wrath upon us. In the blindness Of ou1
grief it is hard to realize that the pains
and the troubles and the sorrow that
come upon us are those that belong to
+he Fathers house. He Himself-that is
the very meaning of the Incarnation
He Himself takes all the sorrows and
troubles He allows us to take. Do we
know what it is to wrestle with tempta-
tion? SO did He. DE we know what ii
is to have our veins throb with anguish
So did He, Do we know what 1t is to be
despised Of men? So did He. Do we
know what it is to follow our loved ones
|,to the grave? So did He.
There is no experience Of pain or suf-
fering that He did not know. No tea1
g,istens in your eye that has not first
gljstened in His There is no heart thrOt
in your heart that has not first throbbed
in His. .a s,z,s
Fhe pains and sl1fferings Of life do
not understand them, but we know that
they are the ministries of love, and we nc
longer either treat them as the penalty
OF living nor think Of them as the self
inflicted natural consequences Of our
own folly and misconduct. So we are
able to believe, with Browning, that "all
pain is gain.

Secretary Of War. f
A Check for Custer.

A rather curious thing happened the
other day at Bismarck, N. D. A man
named Micha ell Francis forwarded to the
widow Of Gen Custer a treasury check
for s1,5o0, payable to the order OF the
general, which he says he found in the
street last February, and has since held,
not knowing what ito dD with it. The
check is dated June 25, 1876, and is
signed by B. =. Smith, the then assistant
pay ymaster Of the army. The check is
torn and soi1ed. but Is perfectly clear in
the essential parts. 1t bears no evidence
OF ever having been paid. It is thought
70 be a remi mittance on account Of salary
from the war department to- Cen Custer.
