Aoout tbe "biggoat ram In the pen" Jutt now, la Ueniy Ward Beecher. Ton are aware that Btory baa been to Iho Uon'a dan, which Is England.

We're not much of a hand at politics, but In regard to the ap- proaching election for Mayor, we ahould advise our friend* to caat Ihelr united votes for Blunt, Boole, Onnlher, end any other man who may be shoved forward during thecanvia. Vote the whole ticket, and thoa aecuro tho election of "good and taoneet men." Prevloua to theelecUon, however, vlalt the old Bowery Thoatre, and aee the dog alars Lalkyatto and Wonder, who put In an appoeranca thia week. In Ibe "Forest ot Bendy."

The place Is beautltully fitted up, and hia been very wall attended since the opening night The location Is one of the beat In tbe city, and there la no reason why the Menagerie should not floor- lab throughout the winter, WsllaeVa Old Theatre waa opened to the jmbllo on the leth Inst by L.

Tbe perfonnanoes on the opening night wont off in oapltal style, and the attendance throughout the week haa been very good. . DiL&M&Tll/. On Monday, Nov. 10th, Bherldan Knowlea' capital play of "The Wife, a Tale of Mantaa,''waa produced for the int time at the Park Theatr^ Brooklyn, when Mr. Qabrtal Hirrlaon made his flnt appearance on the atige of hla theatre. In the character of JuUin St Plem, Hlaa Irving enacting the part of Mtrlanne. The bUl of the evening proved to be very attractive, the altond- anoe It Induced being of a obaneter highly complimentary to the reputation of the worthy manager, for a more appieolatlve, and at the aame Ume indolgent, atialence never patronized the drama In Brooklyn, than the one that flUed the Park on this 00- oislon. Hundreds were turned sway, nnable to proeure a eight ot tbe stage, every aeat In the houee having bees engaged the week prevloua, alanding room even being at a premium. In view of the great demand tor Beats, we were pleteed to aee thst the manager refused to permit that dangerous unlasnce of pla- cing eilia seata In the alalea and passageway*, whereby all eafe egreaa from the building In ease of fln Is so completely ont off. On the appaaranee of Mr, Harrison on the stage he was received with round sfter round ot applante, and at the cloae ol nearly eioh scene in whlota he appeared Ibe audience testUled Ihelr to- .probation of bla flne acttog, and when the curtain fell in the last laal he waa enttaualastlcally called out Indeed we do not re- member aeelng an actcr more warmly greeted than he was on this occasion, ^he best of It was, his truly sdmlrable renlltton Total t8,M7 SB This manlflcent product of the genius of Mlaa Oushman, de- voted to Itae relief of our snfferlng soldier*. I* only the most striking exempUflealloB yet rnsde of woman's power and will to do her full part In the naUonsl straggle. Inspired with love and pity, American woman have been byihelr labon and aympithlae a real part of the army, and Ihelr ranks, nnderleaderalueMlss Onshmsn,wlll not bresk, while thali sons, bnthen, snd hns- bsnds an flrm and fallhfnl In the field. It Is due to Hiss Ohar- lotto Oushman to say that this eztraordlnsry gift of money, ao maglcaBy evoked by her apell, la but the leaat put of the service which, ever since our vrar began, ahe taaa beien rendering our — —, - .—. eauae in Europe.

Whiting and Melklff an the only one* that merit pralae, the former'* penonatlon of Qoazago being very crodlt- abletobtahlalrlonloabUltr, and Mr. MetkUTa Loresto waa de- cidedly the most pralsworUiypiece ot acting we taave seen Item him. Ur. Andnw* greatly dliappolnled us, espeolilly In his makenp, which waa unworthy in actor of U* eiperlence and reputation. Had ha been called upon to eot the part at a few mmutea' noUce, ho could not have been laaa erectlTO. At for tbo Individual who oasayed ttae part of the Duke, all we have to say la that be haa ovldoully mlltaken his vocation. A leas Indulgent andlence would have hissed blm off the stage. Count Horlo, too, lacks the jiermiiul nqalslte for the oharactcr be uaumad, bnt we ehould Judge he could play ttae Apotbecai7,ln namlet,>lo perfection. The aoenory waa admirable, and the stage appoint- mento pnlaawocthy. The orobeatral dopattment, a* yet, shows no algnaoflmpnvomonl; Indeed, Itanylhlng, Ilia worse. Ueliii ratborlato In atlendince en tbo evening In quoelloo, wo couli only procure alanding room near Itae door, lud In eooKnuenco we, wllb all those In the vlolnlly, wera prevented from hearing half of tbo convonatlon on tbe ataio through tho oiooUng at Ibe door, which was on ttae slide all lhe|evcnlng. This annoyance ebould bo prevented In fiilun. The producuou ot this drama Is bnt Ibe Inauguiallon ot a series ot slmUar ttandard playa at Ihla eaUbUsbmont atlnr which ttae old Olympic pngremmo I* to be reproduced On Wednoaday "The Lady of Lyoni" waa pro- duced, tho cast Including Ur. Harrlaon and Ulsa Irving, aa Claude and Pauline. From Iho compantlvely quiet acting of Harrieon In the "Wife," and tala truly creditable. UDBenonailon of SU Plem, we fully expected to aee a different rendition of tbe haokncyad part of Olaudo to tbat presented. We bed hoped to •e», at tbe hands ot Ur. Harrison, a toning down ot Ihs malo- dramaUe aoUons that ordinarily charactoriss the lotlng ot eve* leading artists la Ihls inal»dtamatlo pliy; but nil as h* per- sonated the ohander. In many ceepeots, and finely aa ha read the part, the usual alage mannerlama pnvalled to a greater ei. tent than hla pnvlotu efforta had lad ua to aspect Take It allo- 8ether. In comparison with other rspresenUtloas we have sasn leputtweseaaons, Ur. Harrison's Olsude compares favorably with Ihe beat that has been presented. Mis* Irring wu not a* much at home In ttae chaneur of Pauline aa taer ablUly led na to eipecli bntdoubtleu with different BurrooBdlnga ehe would ap- pear to greator advantage. By-ttae-wey, a "leading old lady" would be an edvanlageous scqnIslUon to Ihls eompanr, and more can In nhearalng theae ttandard pUys wonld not detract from Itaa merit of their parfonnanoea, Ot the othen. It I* acarcely neeeasary to spesk beyond slating that as a general thing they did well—Andnwa eepedally Tbe attondanca ttaionghout tho week wu eicelleni, both In etaaraotor and num. bar*. We noUeed that ttae "heads," that have been snoh llbetsl patrons ot Ihe theatre, have had Ihelr privUegea out off. II le about time, we think, that Ihe manager wu remunerated by these people tor Ills liberality to them 10 long. On Thunday night leih InsL, at tbe Aeidemy ot Unalo, Brook- lyn, Ibeie was one of Itae flnest aadlencea In ttae building that we ever eaw oollected together befon, the tme respectability of Brooklyn being for once faithfully npreeenled; for the majority ot those present were of the claaa repxesentlng tbe refinement. Intelligence, and gentility ot Brooklyn'* beat oltlzans, and not thoae whoee Inflnsnce and poilUon Is darivM flom wealth alone. The occaalon—oalenalbly for Ibe benefit ol tbe Sanitary Commit alon, tbe whole fanda received being ippioprlated IhenIo—wu aa ovation to Itae Dev. Henry Ward Beeeaar, on his arrival home tram Europe, and truly should that able and eloquent and we may truly aay patriotic citizen of Brooklyn feel highly compli- mented at the eameet and enthuslastlo gieeUog he ncelved tram such a aplendid audience. Uls address on the ocoulon will be read by millions on both sides of ttae Atlaotio, as well u on Ihe ahores of the Paelfio, and then la little doubt his words will ezert an Immense Influence for good In the cause of "peace and good will to all men."
