Bow- ever, It la no fault of ours that the name falls to meet the exigencies of the case. The pun Is all right, and that la as tar as our responsibility ex- tends—ED.] Although we have been bereft of Theodore Thomas, have we not gained a more Aptommaa In the genial harpist who Is to give us a musical lecture to-morrow evening? And we would add that, while you listen to the sweet and mellifluous strains he evokes from his wiry In- strument, you might Imagine that "he played on a harp ot a Ototuani strings," so many la his touch and so often his manipulations "Our Jim" wants to know the object of all those sympathy concerts he Bees advertised In the dally papers; whether they are for the benefit ot any particular class of sufferers, etc The sympathies ot our readers are asked In behalf ot this "heathen In his blindness." Dear Brother Talmage hav- ing favored us with bis experience of the "Klght- aldeof Lite lnHewYork."another8amuel woke to the necessities of the occasion, and yesterday gave us his views ot the "Day-elde o: New York Life." This concord ot sweet sounds was delivered by Bev. Samuel Coloord. The other phases ot this many-elded subject will find suitable exponents In good season. Let us be thanktul for what has so tar been vouchsafed to us... .Brother Hender- son of the Standard announces "Alaiatt a Life." We may be pardoned for saying that Fritz Em- met gave our managerial friend a new lease ot life when he commenced his present brilliant engagement at the Standard When horses runaway with actresses we think a better under.

In sooth, had -the rn trig been at all feasible, man- agers would tty ISO: means have laid themselves open to censure had they essayed to oinb people forward We are a bit worried abpuUIoody and Bankey, now that theyare separated. Will they be able to go it alone in the stand ih<wTiaVe taken, or will one be eventually called upbxt to assist the other ? The jreat storm ot * Oct. 33 showed what we an capable of la the way of natural vratex-effects. And so, emulating the outside ex- hibit on that day, Barnum's "Greatest Bhowou Earth" baa developed a real Lake, while Nlblo'a Garden Is only aattafled with a perfect "Deluge 1" To- be consistent, "Our Jim," who finds great dlfaoulty In getting above the tint round in his great ladder feat, now eatt backvxrrd —that Is. he begins at the last dish In his dinner bill ot tare, and eats his way to the top; and this, he assures us. Is the happiest and the easiest task ot a weary lite While Nlblo'a Garden seems to be revivifying under the genial rays of—genial rays—while the genial rays of—any how. while the old dramatic temple la on the up-grade once more, that other establishment farther down Broadway—and belonging to the same estate— Btewart'e wholesale drygoods store, at Chambers street—is soon to be "left," and the trade thereof, at least what Is left ot It, Is to be transferred to the uptown house. It the ground was not en- cumbered by euch a colossal structure, the elte would answer very well for a circus for a stand of a few days: but we fear that the limbs of the law will take poegeaalon of the building with the retirement of the House ot Stewart we must have Calleu-upon evil times when even the giants of our age an subjected to robbery. There was Barnum's big man, for example. He had laid np his treasures where thieves break through and steal—viz.. New Jersey—and he might have lost all his jewels and plate It the burglars had not been captured. The giant, whose everyday name IS John Bass, will not stand this sort ot thing much longer. That thought inspires us to sing: BEWT AJtS 1 Wbat reckless. Liliputlant dare To rob our mighty atant? Fee-fo-n-fum! Let all beware. For, though he seemetb pliant. If one* be gate hie dander up, Wlik no load-mouthed bravado. This Bass win be most apt to give Them all a Raaa-tlnadol ....And talking abont circuses, "Our Jim" la not very well pleased with Lotta In her new play of "La Cigale." It seems that the boy took her In on Saturday night, and he says that Charlotte Is like everybody else when they get up In the world: lor, while she was good enough to take up with the circus people when she was poor, and hadn't even a cellar-door to shelter her, and found pleasure In tbe society of the clown and Herculee, and the lightning calculator and other sympathetic show people, just so soon as she finds herself an heiress and a dukess, she fll«a her klteas high as the un- finished Brooklyn Bridge, goes back on her old show friends, and shakes the sawdust from her dainty little feet- Heretofore, Jim has been an ardent admirer of Charlotte, and has even gone so far as to send her chewing-gum and verses to match; but her conduct last Saturday night opened his eyes to her perfidy, and he shakes her like an aspen leaf. No more gum-drops for her, no more fig-paste, no more bolivars, no more tender lines of beautiful poetry. We.endeav- ored to expostulate with the vicious troy, ana explain to him that the motive of ifce play compelled her to act as she did; but he wouldn't have It, "What I seen I seen, and, it that's tbe kind ot a grasshopper r»e Is. glvu me a potater-hug fustr Should another wr_- bresk out In Europe, we shall be flooded, probably, by lyric artists and others who have been "complet- ing their studies there." Levy the cornetlst now claims to be "the greatest player on earth." VTe thought he was a player on brass. [This In- nocent little bit Is susceptible of two meanings, and, apprehensive that friend Levy may tike a wrong view of It, we hasten to disavow any Inten- tion to wound his feelings, or to "bring a blush to the cheek ot the most fastidious." Bow's that. Jimmy? "Well, it looks like as It you was a-eatln' backwards, too; but peace Is me motto, and I'd let her go at that."— Ed.1 Thanks- giving Is a-coming I Thursday, November 28, has been fixed upon, and, as It Is always good for big houses, managers of traveling troupes and owners of halls had better make their arrange- ments in time. A word to the wise thanksglvera Is sufficient One of the effects or the new play to be produced this evening at the Thea- tre Continue Is a crash and steamboat collision. That is right. We havo had nothing but real steamboat collisions and things for some time. The mimic representation will be a relief to our aorely-trled feelings The great hurdle-rider Morgan has Joined Barnum's show. We stop the press to say that, if any of our readers Imagine this Morgan to be Johnny Morgan who plays the organ, they are mistaken—his name is William, and a good enough Morgan he Is, too Elec- tion being cloaeat band, mass meetings—at which ground and lofty tumbling forms a feature of the entertainments—are now ot nightly occurrence. These tree exhibitions may slightly Interfere with legitimate amusements, but not for long. Some good stock might be taken from our stump orators and grafted upon the legitimate boards. Bomebody should be getting ready to recite that soul-earing composition "Beautiful Snow." From the great and growing West, which gets everything first now. Intelligence reaches us that snow has been falling there, and that, too, before we have had a chance to get In anything abont the melancholy days, the sere and yellow leaf, etc It may be well to remind our readers that, up to the present time, no trace of the author ot "Beautiful Snow" has been discovered; and. therefore, any- body la at liberty to use It We have received thousands of letters from all parts of the world asking It tse did not write that poem. We are not of those who. like Arbuckle and Bent, blow their own trumpet; hence we neither admit nor deny the accusation, for "silence Is golden." Far- ties who are exhibiting the phonograph through- out the country were In a high state of excitement last week over the news that Edison's latest Is a boy I What next?....Tony Pastor presents an un- usually One array of talent this week at his Broadway Palace Theatre.

It Is something to find any- thing new, and successful, in that line. In years to come, when the airs of "Carmen" shall have grown as familiar as are those of "Martha" and ■11 Trovatore," the student of music will turn back and pensively ponder over these pertinent poetlzinge [copyrighted]: "CARMEN."

AT TORT FASTOB'B, during the past week, Mur- phy and Morton, olever exponents of Irish songs- and-dances, gave "Mary Ann McLaughlin" and "Over There in Ireland;" Billy Carter, a local favorite, who has been absent from the metro- politan boards for soma time, received a cordial welcome, his banjo-eongs and Interpolated wit- ticisms meeting with much favor; and Bonnie Bunnelis appeared In hla Dutch specialties, and as Hermann Klaus In the opening sketch ot "Tickle Me Under the Chin." These were tbe fresh arrivals. Tony Pastor sang "Where was Moees When tbe Light Went Out?" a ditty de- scribing many things that Talmage did not see during his recent "tour of New York," and an- other painting the woes of the plague-strlokeu South, and lauding the munificent charity of the North, all of which were freely applauded. The specialties ot the Irwin Slaters, Horry and John Kernel!, Watson and Ellis, Harry Kennedy, Kitty 0*Nell. Billy Barry, and the sketch of "Unwel- come Vial tore" tilled out the bill, to an excellent business. ' ' Btfsntiss continued good at the Theatre Comlque last week, whon "The MulUgan-guard Picnic," with Harrtgan and Hart in the chief roles, was acted for the last times. Mollle Wilson, serio-comic, renewed her ronnersuccesses; Tred F. Levantine in equilibria tic teats with globes, a cross, a large dining-room table, and a barrel, ex- hibited much skill, which secured the approval of the audience: Moore and Ijosslnger. In a rough-and-tumble Dutch sketch called "Ulrlch's Troubles." made a fair Impression; Marie Whlt- tlogham and the yonlbrul vocalist Master New- man, whose voice Is now rapidly developing Into a baritone, scored a success In their duets, par- ticularly a fresh one entitled '■Grandmother's Clock-" Johnson and Bruno, alter an absence ot Dearly two yean, were cordially received, and their aongs-and-dances and eccentricities aroused their old-time enthusiasm; Mackim and Bryant, in neat Irish songs-and-dances, including "Ire- land's Farewell" and "The Barneys," were com- mendable. In addition to these, who were tho fresh Bppearancee, Johnny ^Bhay performed in the sketch "I will. Not Fight." Goes and Fox iu "Sweet Polly Blossom" and JohnWlld.BlllyOray, and Harry A.

Improvement js ESS} carnstantly made by Modjeaka In the. details ot^r business, and we think tbat Frou-Frou is likely to become the strongoert role in her reper- tory. AT Booth's Thbatbe Jarrett A Palmer's dram- atlo season terminated Oct. 2S. "Macbeth" waa, acted 91, 93,23, and "Jane Shore," which was re- vived 34, ran the rest ot the week, "The Honey- moon," with John H. Bird (a volunteer) as the Duke Aranxa and Miss Ward as Juliana, being added on the night of 35 for that lady's-farewell benefit, George Yandenhoff, who was oast tor Macbeth, was unable to appear owing to lllneas, a physician's certiadate to that effect being print- ed In the house-buta. Mllnes Levlck was substi- tuted. J. B. Grlsmer acted Macduff 31, but was rerlaoed by James H. Taylor 22, 28. Generlnve Ward's conception ot Lady Macbettvwas like that of the late Charlotte Onshmmh. While tbe methods she used - In depicting ttso character evinced tbat she had been a-chase erttsdont. her portrayal as a whole was not —suram. --Mllnes Leviok's Macbeth was an agreeable. Aurprlse. It was evenly snd consistently 8Mtatoen.Te.ve at the close of the tragedy, whence was evidently some- what disconcerted by the gentleman acting Mao- duff. His reading was - forcible and intelli- gent, and bore traces of thoughtful study. He excelled In delineating Macbetb's terror and sudden changes ot feeling, and particularly was this noticeable In the banquet-scene, wherein he was weHnlgh perfect. James H. Taylor's de- livery wae monotonous, and at times Indistinct, while at others he exhibited an uncertainty in the knowledge of the text which caused him to halt and stammer. J. L. Carhart is to be praised for a thoroughly good Impersonation ot King Duncan. Frank Little was hardly up to the re- quired standard as Malcolm. John Swinburne's Banquo waa creditable, and a marked Improve- ment upon aome of hla previous efforts. Bosse by Frank Kllday and Lennox by W. Betlhamer were respectably acted. Harry Rich. H. C. Her- bert and Mrs. Mattnewson were the three witches; Andrew Jacques, Sexton; B. C. Wheeler, the Wounded Officer: James Lawrence, the Physician; Little Lisle Leigh, Usance; and Mrs. J. H. Howe, Gentlewoman, all erxhlbltlng care and attontton. Netthxh TEafPxsrs nor political excitement seems to prevent crowds ot people from assem- bling nightly to enjoy the pleasing entertainments provided by the San Francisco Minstrels. Last week the only changes made in the programme were a fresh finale to the first part, comprising airs from "Evangeline." "Danring In the Barn," "Lullaby," and "TheGentlemen Coons' Parade," and In the olio a song-snd-dance styled "Troublo In de Family." performed by Johnson and Pow- ers, and "What Would Mamma Say?" and other songs by nicsardo the male soprano. "Tax- DKntyg."—Nlblo's Garden was filled In every part last week, and on several nights late- comers were unable to find accommodation. On Oct. 31 the spectacular drama of "The Deluge" was revived, under the personal supervision of the Klralfy Brothers. The scenery used was that painted by Voaajtlin when this spectacle was pro- duced in Ban Francisco, Cal., and lt Is ot the most magnificent deeurlptlon. The dresses, properties and appointments were gorgeous. During the fourth acta baUet called "The Daughters of Eve" waa danced by an efficient corps led by Mile. De Rosa, whose agile and graceful movements were frequently applauded. Tho cast as a whole may be pronounced better than that on the occasion of Its original production In this theatre. Cbarlea Pope played Satan: Frank Roche, Adam and Japhet; F. A. TannehlU, Cain and Jubal: Blanche Mortimer, Abel; Blmcoe Lee, Ohomoe and an old man; J. F. Peters, Moloch; Annlo Ward Tiffany, Eve and Naome; Louise Dickson, Ga- briel; Lottie Murray, Leonora Murt and Alice Ransom, reepectlvely tho Spirits of Pardon, Sin and Death; the numerous minor ports being In competent hands The theatre haa struck a wave of prosperity, ana' a glance at tho auditorium re- minds one of the palmy days of "The Black Crook." Emka Lakx made her first appearance In this city at Barnum's Great Show, in GUmore's Gar- den, Oct. 31, riding a manege act. Endowed by nature with a pretty lace and a trim, lithe figure, she presents a graceful picture oe she eaters the arena sitting' .upon her thoroughbred steed. Under ber skillful guidance, her horse moves through a polka and a waltz: assumes aetatueeque position by plaolng one of his forefeet upon a lit- tle pedestal, while the other rests upon the top of an upright column; leape tlirec high hurdlos placed at on, ol distant points In the arena, and then makes some wonderful successive bounds over tbe three'smaller hurdles placed In closo proximity to one another. Alter giving an exhi- bition ot rapid riding, ahe caused her hone to leap over a very wtHe "bannor," and, just before making her exit, to stand erect upon Its hind- feet and walk across the Inclosure while she maintained, her seat with apparent ease. A torrent of applause recalled her, when she repeated the feat last named amid lncreasod enthuslssm. Her success was complete. Sho Is the daughter ot the late William Lake, a well- known enroue-manager, and her mother, Agnes, was for many years before the publio aa a dash- ing and gracefui rider, in private lite she la the wile of Gli. Robinson, a son of John Robinson ot Cincinnati, O.. the oldest circus-manager In this country, being now 7-1 years of age. The only other fresh appearance was David Oastello, who In a principal equestrian act secured the approbation of' tbe spectators. Carl Antony, tne exhibitor and trainer ot tho perform- ing horses, waa unable to appear, having se- verely injured one of his eyes by cutting lt accidentally with the lash of his whip. P. T. Baraum appeared In the arena afternoon and night of Oct. M, and addressed thoso present. The programme also Included the trained stal- lions Mameluke and Pasha; tumbling by tbo company; dancing table and globes by W. o. Dale Stevens: trauexe act. and later a comical act bytheMlaco Brothers: Bevea tableau stallions; Mile. Vellclec the lady with the Iron Jaw; eee- r ponies; Linda Jeal In a hurdle-act, and Katie Stokes in a principal act, both leaping through large circles ot Are: Ernest Patrlzle In his feat ot catching a cannon-ball fired from a.fleldplece: battoute leaping by the company over elephants; theMettotSrutaecra Id suwmbatlo reals? Charles w. Ttsh 1st-yils attrartivo principal act; twelve royal stallions In a variety of feats; and tho comic mule for the wind-up. The attendance was good, though not ao large as during the opening week. "LA ClOALE" was acted for the Orat timo in this city Oct. 36, at the Park Theatre, whan Lotta began an engagement. It la an adaptation, in three acts, by Olive Logan, of a French dramatic trine by IIM. Mellhac and Halevy, and waa acted with the following cast: La Clgale, afterwards known aa Leila Do La tour, Lotta: Marlgnan, an artist, Frederick Bobloson: Mlchu, his com- panion, F. Bennett; Count De Hoppe, Jamos Dunn; Edgar, Viscount De Hoppe, Clement D. Balnbrldge: Carcasonne, Manager and Clown of the Imperial Clrcns, Ed. Marblo: BI-BI, Hercules of the Imperial Circus, H, B. Brad- ley; Flloche, Lightning-calculator of the Im- perial Circus. Frederick Percy; Mona Duclore, W. H. Wallls; Turlo, landlord, J. P. Cooko: Lege, Master Cooke: Servant to the Count- ess, Mr. Parker: Peter, Mr. Whlto; Oountesi De Latour, Mrs, Charles Poole; Adele, a Paris- tan coquette, afterwards a model. Miss Ag- nes Proctor: Ko. C, Miss Cameron; No. T, Miss Doyle. The dialogue la not particularly bril- liant or well written, and, at times, lt de- scends to coarseness. With tbe exception of La Ctgalo and Marlgnan, the characters are mere sketches. Two new scenes had been painted by George Helster—one representing the Interior of an old Inn at Fontalnebleau, which stood during the first act, and the other, Marignan's studio, which occupied the stage through the last act, both reflecting credit on the sxtisL As we pub- lished the story ot the plot shortly after the orig- inal production of the piece, lt need not now be repeated. The performance passed oft very am<iothly.the action moving with celerity and the various performers appearing at ease In their respective roles, the reason being that the piece bad been previously performed a number of titnee In adjacent towns and cities. This dram- atic sketch Is well adapted to display Lotra'a artistlo Idlosyncraclee, and she romped. Bong and danced with delicious abandon. She jumped Upon the tops ol tables,spun platee. Juggled with bolls of wonted, danced the cancan with Vis- count De Hoppe, sang a medley of opera- house and popular songs, and displayed agil- ity in grotosque dances with Carcasonne; also 'played the banjo. Marlgnan, although tbe part was unworthy of the artist, was ex- cellently well acted by Frederick Robinson. The character of Mlohu .Is not clearly de- fined by the text, and, aa Mr. Bennett failed to Invest lt with any peculiarly marked ldentlty.lt became a nonentity. James Dunn discharged the slight duties required ot him aa Count De Hoppe with gentlemanly ease. Edgar was quite creditably acted by 0. D. Balnbrldge, and we think bis performances would bave been far more effective had he refrained from Imitating E. A. Bo them at times. He gives Indications of the possession ot genuine ability, and should aim at originality. The three cirens-performera, Car- casonne (os clown), Bl-BI and Flloche, were so admirably made up and well acted by Ed. Marble, H. B. Bradley and Fred Percy respectively, that, although they were seen only at Intervals, they became ot no mean Importance. Mr. Marble had further opportunity daring the second act when he meets clgale as Leila De Latour, the wealthy heiress ot the Oonntess ot that name- to display his abllttlai as a vocalist and a dancer, which won favorable recognition from the au- dience. W. H. Wauls acted the lawyer Hons.

IMsoTaA the Countess displayed taste In her cos- tume, and in manner was ladylike and reserved. Miss Agnes Prre or did the beet ahe could with the bad part of Adele, and the other characters re- ceived satisfactory treatment On Saturday night Charles Christrup and bis entire orchestra, lately performing In Booth's Theatre, began a season's engagement here. Arthur Bent's cornet-solos during the evening proved an agreeable feat- ure. The house was crowded, and "La Clgale" seems destined to have a run, as lt will evi- dently please those who go to theatres simply tone amused. No matinees will be given during Lotta's engagement. "Old Love-letters" was re- peated until Saturday, and was followed by "Baby" Oct. 31, 21, 35, and "Champagne and Oysters" 23, 33, the cast being as follows: God- frey Oraliame, James .Lewis; Iohabod Herring.

Oot. 31, in "Messallna," a historical drama In five acts, which, was castas follows: Valeria Messallna. Von Stamwllz: Mar- cus. J. Wheelock: Colas 8111ns, O. H. Barr; Nar- cissus. M. V.

Merlghl; Arrla. Mrs. J. L. Oarbart; Julio, Mies Jessie Randolph; Qloucka, Mies Kel- logg. The work of translating the drama from the German original haa not been effect- ively accomplished. We much doubt lt any piece founded upon incidents in this noto- rious woman's career would prove suoeeestul with the general publio. and we can to mind tbat In the past Miss J. M. Davenport aoted In a similar drama entitled "Valeria," writ- ten by Epcs Bargent .of Boston, Mass., in which she Impersonated the title - role, as well as that of Lyclsca, a character the Roman Empress assumed during those hours ot her life which were devoted to questionable practices. It foiled to attain the success hoped for, although written In admirable language and abounding In effect- ive situations. The piece at the Broadway was well mounted, snd a number ot auxiliaries, male and female, had been engaged to give due effect to the pageantry, which Is no Inconsiderable fea- ture. Von Stamwllz Is ot the Veatvall and Jau- auschek schools, and possesses much of the beauty ot face and figure of the former, and no little of the Intensity in expressing various emo- tions ot the latter. Her pronunciation and emphasis of our language are faulty, and lt Is evident tbat she labors under the seri- ous drawback ot being compelled to think In one language and to give expression to those thoughts In another. She has achieved no slight success upon the German stage, and evinces tbe possession of abilities whtoh will with future study and practice no doubt secure her the fruition of her present wishes. On the open- ing night she suffered greatly from nervousness, and her acting did not appear to so much advan- tage os lt did later in the week, when she was freely applauded, and several times called be- fore the curtain. J. F. Wheelock as Marcos had so peculiar a part to Impersonate that, although we have hitherto published a synopsis of tbe story of the plot of the drama, we may be par- doned for repeating, in other language and after the style ot tbe police-court reporter, such por- tions as will describe that'eharacter. One night, when Meesallna was "cruising" in the etreets ot Borne, she meets Marcus, and, being impressed by his physical beauty, "picks blm up." Later ehe causes her confidential slave, Glouoka, to bring him by a secret passage into the palace, and she places htm at some distance rrom her while she contemplates and eulogises his manly beauty. She succeeds In leading him from the paths ot rectitude; and subsequently, while they are In soft dalliance In a pavilion In the palace styled the "Temple ot Venus," on enomy of Messallna brings Arris, the motherof Marcus, thither, with the Intention of surprising them. Although Arrla does not gain admission to the apartments, her son hears her volco, and'knows that he has been betrayed. In the gray dawn of morning, when Marcus returns to his own apart- ments, he finds his mother In bis bedchamber.

Recently a boneflt was given In the Chinese Theatre there on Saturday night, and It was announced that the show would run until two o'clock Sunday morning. About eighteen hundred Chinamen attended, and every- thing went off very well until one o'clock, when Ofllcer Brown walked Into the theatre and at- tempted to enforce the ordinance which requires that theatres shall close at that hour. The ofllcer rapped on the back ot a bench, and exclaimed In stentorian voice that "the Chinese must go," but the Chinese would not budge. He then went behind the scenes and drove the asjors and musicians from tbe stage. As bedtd tbls tho audience raised tho cry of "Tah, Klve Lah," which means "strike blm." Some of the audience mode for tbe stage, probably with the Intention of striking the officer: but the arrival of rein- forcements and the exhibition of firearms caused the advancing party to retreat. The audience then began tearing up the benches and every- thing movable In the premises, destroying the some. They also hurled missiles at the officers on the stage, and then tore down the doors, which they usod as bottering-rams to demolish the box- offlco. The proprietors of the theatre will be re- quired to e.tp-" ' 1 at least 5800 to repair tbe dam- age done, yvhue the riot was In progress some special officer--, •.a.--^- -1 up and fired soveral shots over the crowd--v?-'- ^caused It to disperse.
