It is no fault oT the critic's that the peiiorm- onccdld not eventuate. Bor is liis critique to be despised and sneerecl at because "It cannot was." The geotleman meant well, and the paper aeantwell; the fault lies wholly with the theatre and its «ompany, who went back on the retarns, and secretly counted out "The Lady of Ltods." Mor ehould we be so hypercriti- eal, because occasionally our friends the play- ers do not agree on some unimportant tact Here is a cose in point: Recently there died in this vicinity Vr. Wlndust, whose hostelry in Tears agone was the resOrt of old-time play- goers and playactors. In telling a little story about a man who was taking a quiet metil in that rcsTAutant, John Brougham declared that it was a beefsteak the man was partaking of, when Cooper the actor, an entire stranger to the party. Insisted on his eating mustard with his Etealc, and,whenthe latter failed to do so, the actor swore that he would no longer sit ut a table with a man who refused to eat mus- tard on his tteak. John Oilbert, in telling the same little story, agrees with Hr. Brougham in every particular save one, and he declares that it woe pork-ehopn the stranger was eating. It shows how the greatest minds may be de- oeivecL With all due respect for our versatile friends, and without any desire to intrude our superior knowledge upon the public, we would verv kindly state that the little incident did Ttot transpire at Wlndust's, in this city, but at a restaurant near London; that it was no<-Mr. Cooper who sought to foroe mustard upon the stmiigcr, but the elder Hathews; that it was neither beefsteak nor pork-chops the hungry man tras partaking of, out boileaberf.' to which mustard oelongs. And after repeatedly sav- ing to thelpnr^, ushe placed before hfmthe cup: "Jltiislc^rd. sir I" tfnttUews became so en- raged nt the rufuaul of the potson to use the musuml that he exclaimed: "I'll be d—d if I remain any longer in the house with a man who refuses to eat mustard with his boiled beef!" TVe very much regret the necessity that compels u9 to take Issue with our gonial friends Brougham and Gilbert in r« the beef- steak and pork-chop story; but our respect fortruth ana boiled beef must beour excuse for interfering No, James; no man named Cole ever - played Captain Cattle, that we are aATUre of; so your proposed Joke about Oole'.i Cuttle wont 'irork I Bose Eytinge appears at the New Park, Brooklyn, this week, in "Miss Sarah Hulton." In view of the prevail- ing ideas concerning names, wouldn t It be better to call it "jfiss iio/fi> Multon.»",. Sometimes wo get tooled awfully. One day last week a man called to see us concerning the depressed state of business everywhere, and, after we had listened to him an honranda quarter, we volunteered the sage remark: '•The times are out of joint, it is true, but vou must take things as you find them." The aflllctcd one went forth, and ere long we dis- covered that he had taken our advice, and got away with a four-bladed knife and a pair of scissors, the loss of tthlch we have since deeply felt and sadly deplored, We don't care who (iails upon us now: nobody gets any more advice from tu.' Prejudiced parties who insist that show life Is not looking up, and that the amenities of circus lite are not of a more refined character than those observed in form- er years, are wrong. Among the fresh adver- tisements in this issue of The CJlippeb is one from a gentleman eonneoted with a traveling exhibition, in which "talented and refined art- ists to work on candy-stands with the Anstra- lian Circus" are <^alled for. Before the circus obtained its present position among popular amusements, such parties would have been advertised for as "candy-butchcis, side-show blowers," etc. This new departure from old rules is destined to exercise a healthy moral influence, and to uplift the hereto- fore indefinite character 01 the gentlemen entrusted with the management of the prlv- ileftes nllnded to And talking aoout "The Flying Itatehman" and other celebrities who dropped out of the metropolis last week reminds us of a musical "saloonist" we inter- viewed recently concerning the mvsterlous disappearance of Oakey Hall. He said he knew nothing about the dtstupeorance of anyone, but of appearances he declared that seven "htats to a bar" was the dally average laat Winter t Duke Alexis Is with us again, and of course we are putting him through the usual coarse of metropolitan sprouts; but, since the royal Duke was last hen:, h is momls 8ee m_tft, opoos. AimeA's singularities are singularly naughty—of that sort calculated to draw the sinner from the wise and prudent coun- sels of Brothers Uoody and Sankev, and fill hie mind with the subtle artificialities of life and taint bis soul with the,bane- tt>l thoughts of gentle woman's deprav- ity.

Fcru'Msee ,. .Which goes to show Iho simplicity of human nature: A few days ngo a gentleman from the For West visited us lor the purpose of getting some information concerning the fltting-up of a new theatre he \rns about opening. With that (lecp sense of obligation which obtains in The Clifpeb ofllce, and with that blandnees for which we are proverbial, we told him er«rj^ing, and thereby saved him much wealth. When we REsurtM him that he must introduce some hox-<n teenen, and tfU, too, upon his stage, the look that man fastened upon us froze our voung blood and made every hair stand up libo quills upon the friRhtful porcu- pine, as you may imagine. "Dozing scenes and aeta-ioT' he exclaimed in a disgustful tone of voice, while his eyes tiuivered with painful and \1rtuoa3 indignation; "be- fore I'd Introduce prize-flghtors on the stage of my theatre I'd cheerfully see it burned to the ground 1" There was innoeenco tor you I "Our Jim," with a consideration we had never given him credit for, smothered the gasping smile that rose unbidden to his lips, and made his exit as though he had been (tolled to par- I take of a free clam-chowder. Then we locKed ' the door, sat down before that innixient man from the Far West, and quietly explained tlto difference between "box-u" scenes, and "t>ox- ing scenes," and "set scenes" aid. "sets-to. His gratitude is deep and lasting—every first big pumpkin be raltses, we get; every newly- ripened deer he kills, the entire canuiss is sent to us: every new- child he pro- duces is named after us I Now, who could help loving such a man, and appreciating his fittle attentions? Ape-re-paws, as the school-girl said when a monkey in a menag- erie flow away with her hat, we ought to mention that Tony Pastor and his fuinous troupe wiU soon be on the wing. His dosing entertainments are among the best he has ever given us. One of them we recently at- tended, and it so pleased us that we sat down upon the first curbstone we came to, and pen- ciled on our thumb-nail the following clever lines: BIS BILI, OF FASE.

The hat-trick, although an old one, received ttesh vitality from the clever mimner In which It was performed and astnrtllii^ novelty at its dose. Atter taklns from the hata larce quantity ot black doth, niunerotis bonbon boxes, many handballs, a great many silver caps, three large cans ot toaiatocs, and several lighted Chlneee lanterns, Mr. HeUer flnolly drew forth a laree piece of red cloth, which, when unfolded and held up by his assistant and himself, nearly osnoealed their entue ngurea.

In the second-part Mr. Heller per- formed ui>on the pianoforte "Home, Sweet Home," with variations, and then related im interesting stoiy ot incidents which iMtell him daring a visit to the (Old T><fii«t» town of Canterbury, and finally translated the story In muslo un- der the title ot "Storm and Sunshine," which, at Its termination, 'was greeted with fervid and long-oontlnned applause. The third-port opened 'wlin a little dtamatlo sketch called "Mrs, Eoptlc,^' charmingly iwted by Miss and Mr, Hellor. Its themo was spiritualism, and during Its perform- ances exhibitions ot table-rapplng, chain tlpplng- and moving, slate-wrlUng, the blood-rod writing on the arm. and other so-called splrltuai phe- nomena were given so dettljr tnot the spi>etatots were completely mystified.
