Leon- ard, and aocepted by him. Mr. Leonard has been the agont of the State Treasurer for tho past eight years, and is spoken of as amply qual- ified to administer the Insurance Dopartment of the Btate. The proceedings in the Franklin Bank bank- ruptoy case, reported olsewhore, will be found intoresting. They would have boen still more in- toresting, especially to depositors, if the Vice- Presidont aud Cashier could have been found, and if the President had possessed any definita in- formation about the agseta of the institution and its management. From_ present appearances, tho balloon scems to have been snlling along without any one in it, when the storm over- took 1t. ‘Tlie Railroad and Warchonso Commissioners wore at Quincy yostorday, and listonod to tho griovances of members of the Corn Exohange of that city, which wore in substance that the now Railrosd low wes discriminating disastrously sgaingt thom, inasmuch as nine-tenths of tho wheat which came down tho river now went past Quincy to avold trans-shipment, and the rail- ronds were now charging §52.22 per car to Chi- cago, whereas boforo the passage of the law the charge was but §40, The great battle betweon honesty and corrup- tion {8 now being fought with desperats vigor in the Dominion Parliament. Thus far the Oppo- sition has mado docided progress and has prossed tho attack so hotly that the Promier is preparing imself for & dosporate dofomso. Of the new momboers from Prince Edward’s Island, four havo expressed thomselves in Bympathy with the Opposition. The lattor party is full of hope, and I3 making it decidedly hot for the Govorn- ment, The discussion is creating great excite~ ment in Canada, and crowds are flocking to Ottawa from all parts of tho Dominion, The principal item of interest in the foreign newa this morning is the rather sharp corre- spondence which recently passed between the Emperor of Germany sund the Pope on the ecolesinstical policy of the Empire, The Pope in his lotter made the serious mistake of mssuming that . the Emperor did not countenance the moasures of Lis Government toward his Ultramontano sub- jects. In his reply, the Emperor courteously but pointedly corrects the Pope on this point, and not only informs him that he approves them, but also that he is responsiblo for them, and shall continue thom so long &8 the Ultira- moutanes are hostile to the Government. Tho arrest of Regnler, as snnounced in yos- torday's forelgn nows, was occasioned by his writing an impudont and imprudent letter to the Duo d'Aumnle, the Prosi- dont of the Bazaine Court, dictating what ques- tions should bo nsked of him as & witness, and threatening to leavo France if-his roquest was not granted, Reguier is an old man, who is looked upon by his frienda as a sort of harmless lunatic, and who, during the slege of Metz, waa used 8 & tool by Bismarck. Aftor playing spy ‘upon Bazaine for the Germans, ho la now & wit- ness against him for the French, or will be if he manages to escape from the ponalties of bis im- pudenca.

A liut of ovordinfls by dopos- itors in tho Union Trust Company {spublished, in which tho Lalo Shoro Road figures to the smonnt of over $300,000. Tho latter Company, how- ever, olaind to have made good the dofleit in thoir rocont loan sottlomont.

The usoful Mr, Reed did not pormit this uncoremo- nious treatment to alato his dovotion to the couse, conscious that kis time would come. He now claims the roward of the righteous in s soat in the Council Chumber. Instead of collooting taxen, ho now desires to oxpend.thom. The public could Letter afford to take him In tho former capacity'than in tho latts — Thig ia tho lost day in which votors can ba registorod. Tho clection is ono of tho most im- portant thut has ever. taken placein this city. There Lias boen no provious occasion when the publio pesce, order, and decency, and tho Clty Treasury have beon #o dircotly threatoned by an actual and open combiuation of tho worst elo- menta of society. Itis tho duty, therefore, of every citizen to mako overy effort to put a veto upon this attompted conquest of Chicago. Tbis city has psssed through pestilence, and firo, and panic, and triumphed over all; but thera are more destructive things evon than fire, aud one of these is the Qlivery of the city to 1ho orgauized banditti undor the lead of Hesing. Every citizen, thore- fore, who has any intercat In protecting the financial charactor of the city, who docs’not ‘want to see the saloan-kaspers mado the munici-" pal governors, and who desire to preserve pub- lic order aud decenoyon Bunday and all other days, should see that his nome is on the rogle- try-list, 8o that ho may vote without delay or hindrance. Tho little smusement which Bt. Louis laid out for herself yesterday, in the shapo of a prize- fight, came to & sorry conclusion, owing very largoly to Gov. Boveridge’s prompt uction in the premiscs. The steamer Continental, upun which the most of the brutes took passnge, was blown asbore, and was immediately invaded by tho East Bt. Louis police, who made s choico soloction of prisoncrs, including tho managers and the officers of tho boat, and took them to B8t, Louis, where they were at onco committed for trlal. Ono or two of thom, through the connivance of the Bt. Louls datectives, suc- ceeded in escaping, Some of them have been taken to this- Btato “for - trial upon indictments growing out of the Allen- MeCoolo fight abont a month ago. Meanwhilo, inliou of .the fight, the roughs damaged the stoamer a8 much aa posgible, and East 8t. Louls Lad o disastrous flre. Taken altogether, it was a bad day for 8t, Louis, resuliing in sorious dis- appointment to tho plessure-seokers of that city. Itwill be a useful lesson to them, how- ever, the next time they have a prize-fight, to keop away from Tllinols with it, Tho principsla in tho fight are at liberty, not having beon on board the Continental, — Bomo nino wooks ago, the Board of Railroad and Warehouse Commisaionera established two new grades of wheat for this markot, known as *Northweatern No. 1" and * Northwestern No, 2," to bo applied to the superlor grain grown in Minuosota and Northern Towa, aud wheat of these grades is ntoreg soparatoly from other kinds of wheat in tho Northwestern Elevator, For nomo timo prior to tho establishment of this grade by offlcial action it had boen bought and sold in this markot as * Hard No. 1" snd * Hard No.3," and had been stored separately. The Ohicago Timws of yestorday, with its usual promptness in discovering important commer- cial intolligence, has an article urging that this Minnesota and Towa wheat be stored nop‘amlely, and graded in tho Chicago market sccording to its merita. Failuro to do go, the Times assures us, Is tho reason why whont golls at 2 to 5 coms botter prices in Milwaulkeo than in Chicago. Turning to the market reports of yostordny, we find * Northwostern No. 1" selling in Ohicago at $1.09@1.00%, gnd “ Northwestorn No. 2" at $1.07, whilo at Milwaukee tho best No. 1 whoat was quoted st $1.08)4, and No, 2 at £1.05%, There is at prosent in atore horo 253,411 bushels of * Northwostern" wheat, againat 236,037 bush- els of common wheat, v A morning nowspaper discourses on some in~ dividual connected with tho press, whom it rev- erontly dosignates as D, D. Now tho only por- son connected with the daily press who has any claim to be considerod & Dootor of Divinity is Wilbur F, Storey. The efforts of Mr, Btorey to reform the ohurchos of Ohicago, to oxpol horesy, to provont gohism, to establish theology on & firm’ basls, and generally to promote the cause of pure aud' undefiled religlon, attracted great admiration and won the enthuaiastlo approval of tho Rev. Mr. Sullivan, There wero some who thought that Dr. Btoroy was too dogmatic and inquisitorlal, and that his efliolency as a colporteur would bave been in- creasod by a more Lberal Intorpretation of the texta which he ohoso for tho occaslon, But all admitted the forvenoy of Lis zeal and admired Lus atalwart dofonse of the Nicono Oreed, So contpionous did he become as an opposer of Babellianiemm, Gnoaticikm, Arianism, and othor heretical tendenoles, that the Loulsville Courler-Journal recently proposed him for-pre- siding officer of the Evaugolical Alllance, It doos goem to us that a person of such promi- nonco In eccloninnticnl affaira should rost con: tent with the honors ho has achioved in that walle of lifo, and not bo hanke ring aftor politien profermont.

The elvonmstances of the trial and acquittal of Puffouberger are well undorstood. The Chicago & Alton Railrond Compauy virtually undortook to prosecuts the enginoor, and make him besr the guilt of an no- cident for whioh tho Company itself wasg, In the ostimation of tho jury, responsible. Tho thing wag ovordono. Bofore the trial had progressed long, ovory ono saw thatlt wasn fight botwoon the Railrond Company ‘mnd Puffonberger; as the Interforonco of tho Company was further dovelopod, It becamo an even thing whotlior the Jury ought to conviet Puffenbergor or the Rail- rond Company ; and it actually rosulted in the unanimous agroomont of tho jury that Puften- bergor was not guilty and that tho Company was, Aftor tho reliromont of tho jury, the Court—not willing to romain, perhaps, half the night to receive tho verdiot—adjourned, giving tho jury pormission, if thoy agroed, to seal up thelr verdict to be road and rocorded at tho -opening of the court in the morning, Tho jury agroed on their verdiot ovor night. In the morning, at the opening of the court, the verdict wag opoued and nnnouuced. It rond as follows : PrrIT JUnY Roox, Cittoago, Oct, 24, 1873,—Wo, tho Jury, find the prisoner not gullty, a8 chorged in tho fadictment, and severely consuro the Chicago & Alton Tialiroad Company for employing incompetent mon fn connection with the busincss of the road, (Signed), Johu Wright, foreman; H, A, Forsyth, Thomss F. Indowell, G, M, Groosbeck, G. F, Olark, J. IL Wheat, Josoph Pearson, Olarles J, Walter, Robert Waddell, George Y, Ridley. . The reading was recelved with applauso by the multitudo present, and the Court, with groat promptness, had some of the applauding by- standers arrosted for tho indecorum. Aftor the very propor zeal of the Court had beon expended, tho considorntion of the verdict iteel? was ro- sumed. The Btate's Attorney domanded that the jury bo polled, and forthwith tho Olerk called the roll, and it was found that one of tho jury ind, in tho interval between signing tho vordict and, coming into court, changed hia opinion. This circumstance would have been sufficiont to attract attontion, but the sequel gave to it a now significanco, The jury again rotired, and soon aftor roturned with a verdiot of not guilty as to Puffenbeiger, and omitting all rofererco to the Talfirond Company, Tho dissenting juror hed become botter informed as to the responsibility of the Railrond Compauy for Lhe slaughter aftor mngling with the outer world. A cago accurrad In the Oriminal Conrt horo o fow yeara ago, in which & man was triod for -tho robbery of §6,000 of money, The money, or the groater part of it, was found on the sceused. The jury wore authorized by the Court, if they agreed on a verdict, to seal it and thon soparato. ‘This was doue ; the jury agroed on & verdict of guilty, which they signed snd wont home. In the morning, as in the Puffenbergor case, ono of the jurors . repudiated the verdiot, and theroaftor refusing to agreo with the othor Jurors there was no conviction, and the money was 8till withheld from the lawful owner. In this case it--was impossible to resist the inforenco that after the jury soparated at night the juror had been *‘soen ;" that he communicated the character of the verdict, and atlowed himself to bo convineed that the man ought not to be convicted. In that case, if wo remember correctly, tho Court soverely ropri~ manded the juror, and expressed its opinion that such & man was unfit to sorve on any jury whore the life, liberty, or property of any citizen was at stake. We havo not heard that tho Court in the Puffenborgor case has in any way consured the juror for his conduct, The only question which tho jury bad to try was tho guilt or’ funocanco of Puffenbergor. What was there, after ho had signod the verdiot avd left the jury-room, to fn- duco him to go back noxt morning aund insist that all that part of the verdiot rolating to the Railroad Compeny should bo excluded ? Cortain- 1y, it waa not out of consideration for Puffenber_ gor norwas it out of considoration for the pros- ecution, Who, then, was interested in that part of the verdict, and whose feelings woro spared by the awakened conscionce of the juror ? Wo call the nttontion of the Legislature to this subjoct, and to tho necessity of making somo provision to provent abuses of the jury systom. Tho practice of sealed verdicts ia resorted to for the convenience of tho Court and of tho jury. Out of this has grown the com- paratively modorn practice of permitting jurors to scparato after the cago is closed and bofore the verdict ia rondored, The Courts are uniwil- ling to sit up all night to await tho verdios of & Jury, and thereforo adjourn, As the jury may agree, and otlerwise must remsin prisonors until tho meoting of the Court next day, the Courts have grauted thom permission, if thoy agreo, to sign and meal tholr verdict, which is opened next day, the jurors in the meane timo soparating. No practico is more lisble to abuse, whon any ono of the twelve jurors may mnoxt morning repudi- ato the vordict. In the twelve or fourteen hours that may intervene between the separation ‘over night and the meoting of tho Court next day, any juror so disposed may recewve a bribe, It in = criminal caso, ho may offer to defent an_ acquittal or & conviction for a conmdoration. Ho may even agroo to a soaled vordiot, In order ,that he may go to the intorosted parties, inform them of tho vordiot, and offer thom tho only moans of escape left, One, or balf-a-dozen Jurors, after signing their sealod vordiot, may, togother or soparately, soll themselves for a conslderation to tho person Interestodin defeat ing such a verdict. The publio can readily un~ derstand how thia practico msy ho abusod, and Low tho separation of jurors beforo their ver- dict is recorded opons the door to the oloarest and most palpablo corruption, The jury systom, ab best, is linble to many abusos ; but this practice of recolving sealod vordiots, and permitting the jurors to soparate before their vordiot ia recorded, is n license to brlbory fn its most direful form, for, if we caunot depend upon tho purity of jury trinls, what can wo depend upon? Itis evidently necoseary that the Logis~ Iatare ehould rogulate this matter by law, and should protoot suitors against being sold out by weak or corrupt jurors, who, agreclug to a ver~ dlet over night, and thereby escaping the tedium of the jury-room, may seok or racolve arguments outside suflicient to change their opinlon bofore the meeting next day, The trials of a roliglous daily are frequont end fearful. Thore fa & Wilness to this in Now York, Tho journal of that name strives honeste 1y to koep Ita advertising columus pure and une deflled from an orthodox polut of view, It re« contly rofusod to admit an anuonncomont of DBradlaugh's lecture, bocause it undoratood that thio locturor had onoo beon acoused of ntholsm, It likowiso refused to advortiso Barnum's Mouag- erlo, Leeauso people might thereby be tempted tovisit tho olveus at tho snmo timo, But ro- contly the wicked sounting-toom people took nu alvortisoment for ** hinported uluars ™ in vory Inrgo type, with the addendum “samplo-room intho roar,” in very small typo. This passed tho attontion of the editor for somo days, until a friond rominded bim that esmplo-room was somothing very llko & bar-room, whoroat his pioty rovolted, aud the obnoxions advortisoment was ordorod out. Tho religlous editor on duty ‘In o daily newspapor, with s porverso countiug- room to coutond with, muat be sorely tormented. MR, LESTER L, BOND, It was gonorally folt that any porson asauming the romponsibility of Acting-Mayor upon Mr. Medill's doparturo for Europo would moot with pumerous and sorlous ombarrassments. Tho cholco was nooessarily conflued to the Board of Aldermon, and ¢ fortunately roaulted, with the aesfslanco of Mr. Modill's porsonal offort, in the sclootlon of Mr. L. L, Bond. It waa fraely prodioted at ' the tima Mr. Medill went away that Mr, Dond would not bo able 1o carry out tho line of policy which Mr, Modill hiad adopted undor the authority of tho Mayor's bill without offending a large clasn of poople, sud soriously Joopardizing his prospects, al- roady rocogmized, for being nominated for Mayor. Wo recall this for the purpose of show- ing that Mr, Bond was placed fn a poouliarly try- ing position, and likewiso for tho purpose of polating out that he hes proved compotent to ovorcomo all the obstaclos that woro naturally in his way, During ‘his ad- inferim administration, he lhes succooded in following the courao clearly outlined by Mayor Modill. Ho has euforcod the lawa. At thosame timo ho has présorved o Larmonious City Gov-~ ernment, and givon no causo for offonsa to any man who is jntorosted In the preservation of or- der and in the decorum of the Clty Governmont. Ho hae dons his duty quietly snd unostonta- tiously, and has nover put himsclf forward un- necossarlly in any way, nor committed himaelf by elthor words ‘or action that would noedlessly offoud tho oxtremists on oither sldo. He has cortainly dono nothing to conoliate tho offico-bummers, but has shown that thoy would find no comfort under his ad- ministratlon for their poculiar-ldeas of oflice- holding. Ho bas kopt them at a distance with- out parado or buncombe, Thero is probably no Louest man in Chicago who doos not fool and know that Mr. Bond has dizchnrged the dutics of the Mayor thoroughly and becomingly. It sooms to us that, other cousideration, Mr. Bond’s sadmin- istration during Mayor DMedil's absenco showld bo sufticlent to commend hia eloction. Tt a raroly thot a city like Chicago has an oppor- tunity of trying the qualities of a man bofore it passes by vote upon his fitness, unless ho has proviously sorved in the offics. Mr. Bond's case is au excoption, and his succoss undor peculiarly embarrassing circumstaucos is o warrant of bis capacity and adaptibilty. Aside from this, Mr. Bond has been beforo tho public in one wmy or another about fiftecn yoars. Without haviug beon, in auy sonse of tho word, an offlce-necker, he has beon called upon by the. peoplo to roprosent them fin varlous capncitics. During his service m the Legistaturo and the Commion Couucil, he hne nover at any tune been nssociated with a disreputablo transaction, aud hos not even beon suspected of such agsociation. It i a dififculc mutter for & man to cscupe Kuspicion or imputa- tion even from political opponents in so ex- tonded s public ecrvico, Mr. Bond is well suited, by oducation and habits of lifo, to be the Mayor of a greet and Important city lke Chicago, He will bo able to ropresent Chicago onall publio oceasions with dignity, and he is ontively famillar with city affalrs and with the routine of the officlal businoss, and tho needs of our people. In addition to his porsonal qualifi- cations, ko londs in this campaign the respectabel people as opposed to the saloon-keopers, gam- blors, and roughs, and thorp is an urgont noces- sity for Chicago to demonstrate now and at all times that ehe is not under the control of bum- mers, cithor directly or by proxy. Thoso con- sidorations shiould be kept prominently in mind with & view to the election next Tuesdny. For the businoss mon, the tax-payers, and the re- spectablo residents of Chicago generally, the elaction of Nr. Bond, as distinctly idontified with their intorests, is a mattor of moro impor- tance than would ordinarily be involved in a Btate or National election. — THE ECLEOTIC CONVENTION, In tho yoar 1792, —about the time that France was torn up with revolutionary theories of all kinds,—sn infant was born_ to o Paria clook- maker, a disciple of Jean Jacques Rousseau, and & florce rovolutionist. At this timo the mew- comer croated littlo sobeation outside of the clockmaker's family, and it is not probable that the fond parcnts thomselves dreamed that their son's syatem of philosophy would one day at- tratt .8 much attention as the political dia- quisitions of evon Jean Jacques himeelf. This ohild of the clockmaker was tho parent of Eclooticlem,—Victor Cousin, After exploring tho roalms of philosophic thought, Oousin de- veloped the theory thatthere had been just four systems of philosophy, each of which had in turn monopolized the public mind, but that ovory ono of these systoms contained serious perverslons of trath, Thon it was that ho founded tho modorn Eclectio scliool, selooting from tho various systoms tho clomenta of truth In each, and therowith constituting a composite philosophy, He discovered on all sldes of him exaggeratod phases of sonstlonalism, idealtsm skoptioism, and mysticlim; ho picked grains of truth from each a8 he found them, and gatherod thom togothior In & rich harvost of thought and research. Cousin was an eloquent man, and his sytom was adopted as the * oflicial plulosopby.” He had brilllant opportunities for makiug politics a spoclalty, but he folt that ho was not equal to the undortaking. .Iu his loos ture# Lo hiavorsed the flold of Doity, Naturo, humanity, philosophy, hiatory, religion, destiuy, socloty, industry, character, eto.,, but he loft Ecleotio politica to'tho development of the future. The montle which Oousin laid aside some yenra ago Lias now been takon up by the man of all others whom he would bave chosen for its political application,—Wilbur F', Storoy. ‘The man who appied a great principle to s new and practloal purpose ia froquontly = groater banefaotor to tho human race than he whe originated the principlo itsolf, Cousin, with all his oulture, research, originality, and systera, never attalned any practioal reforms with the FEcleotlo principlo; but pow comes aside from overy Mr. ‘Btorey, who bns heon & closo stu- dent of Cousin'a TFragments Philosophiques, and who now proposes to rovolutionizo Ghieago by oa application of Cousin's admirable prineiplos to munfoipsl oléotionsy Ionco the olegant and brilliant Fraginents Politiques tur- nished fu datly insos of the Olieago Times; and henco, also, Mr., Storey's wlilingnoss to sacrifico his pordonal Intorouts fo bo o caudidato for Mayor on the Eeleotio plan, Hero {s something moro than devotion to abstract principles, Tho Eoleatio system of philosophy, as develop- od by Cousin, {8 of small ‘congoguonco 88 compared: with tho Eclectic systom of politics, ns dovelopod by Btoroy, Asa mera contonmiplativo disciple of Cousin, his capacity for usofulness might have boon lost. Butin bis brilliant application of the Eolectlo theory to municipal affalrs, and hia porsonal willingners to tost Its soundnoss na a candidate for Mayor, Mr. Btorey has falrly ecclipsod his toacher in tho work of merging sonentionalism, idenlism, skopticlsm, and mysticlsm, and will bo well qualified, attor tho oloction of noxtTucs- day, to bocomo a rogular and valued contributor to tho transactions of tho Freuch Acadomy. Mr. Btorey’s first Ecloctiu Convention, hold in Kingsbury Hall night before last, was not on- tirely succensful, it is truo ; but gront roform- ers, and ospecially Eclootlo reformers, must ex- pect to éncounter discouragements, Ono troublo with tho firat Ectectio Convention was that it waen't largo onough o onablo Mr. Btorey to Eclectiolsoe very oxtousively, though too largo to insure thorough harmony among Eolcotics, ench of whom wants to make the clioico for himsolf, Another trouble waa that the majority of those in attondanco went there, not in tho cnpacity of Holoctics, but sg lookora-on,—porsons wanting to sso and hoar some now thing, The inquiry everywhoro was ¢ * Whero are the Eclectics ? Whoro are Btoroy, and Matteson, and Ashton ?" As theso gentle- mon did not come forward, the epectators found thomsolvos constrained to make up & Convention of themsclves if thoy were to have any. Mr. Conkeholl Roynolds was on hand with that rare old spoech of his, which has brought tears to tho oyes of sl who aro in tho Labit of attonding tho Women's Rights Conventions. It was with difficulty that a Chair- mon was found, and the Convention would havo beon without that indispensablo functionary if Dr. Wickersham, & looker-on, had not accopted it with the understanding that ho was not to bo responsible for anything that was done. Roy- nolds spoke, 8o did Long John, Bodid n few other porsons whom the public has nover hoard of, and whom naughe but Eclocticlsm of & per- sonal kind could ovor bave brought forwaid, But, as whon the braine aro out the man must dio, o did this Cottvention. M. Btoroy, the champlon of Eclecticism in municipal politics, was not thero, and the Convention adjourncd without advancing tho cause onoe jot. ‘Wo slucorely hope that this experieuco will ot discournge Mr, Btorey in his noblo purpose of sacrificing himself to the people of Chicago as the Eclectio caudidate for Mayor, Thero is yot time, In Eclectic politics, tho smallor the more harmonious tho sentiment. Mr, Storoy would therefora do well to conflne his Couven- tlon to Mr. Matteson, Bam Ashton, Buffalo Millor, aud bhimself. With those three, the great principlo of political Ecloctielsm is safo, and Mr, Btorey need bhavo no fear but that he will then bo the uuanimous cholco of his followers to stop into tho shoes of Victor Cousin, which will sorve bhim as tho thousand-league boots in his giant strides toward the Mayoralty. Aside from tue gront porsonal dignity, the moral worth, tho Cbristian zeal, tho abounding geuorosity, the rare forbeurance, the amisble character, tho sympathy with the German and Irish race, tho fellow-fooling for tho outeast, the confidence of the businoss community, and all the ocber ad- mirable qualitios poesossed by Mr. Storoy which we have herotofore summarized, Chicago must not lose the opportunity of Laving for Mayor tho groat roprosontative of tha modorn School of Ecloctio Polities.

Tt is o mattor of rogret that ono waok of Miss Carlotts LeCloreq's engagomont at the Acadomy of Music should have beeu devoted to & drama which placod hor in a false light, and possessod in itolf nuthing to attract tho Indy’s many ad- mirers, who may justly feal aggrievedat tho slight put upon them, Tho offeats of this course wero plainly observable in tho' slenderness of tho audienco, which only partially filled the protty thentro last ovening. Thoso who were prosont, however, will have roenson tobe glad that thoy took tho opportunity of secing a good aociety drama well played throughout. *Fate ia o pleco which, it will be romem- bored, was among last season's Buc- cossful entortaiuments at Hooley's, It 18 undoubtedly the best acting drams of Mr, Campboll's production, and, though not espe- cinlly abundant in true dramatio effect, nor en- tirely froo from what may bo eallod dramatio trickery, desorves considerabls praise for in- genious construction nnd sustained intorest. Tho charactors aro brought genorally into good contrast, atd are nicely shaded. In fact, * Fato" ia & drama cn, ablo of lenving & strong impros- sion when judiclously haudled. It treats upona subjoct possossivg points of universal intereat, and insuras the attontive sympathy of » mixed nudience. The strongest character, the “acte ing part," is that of Juno Temple, a sinistor por~ #onage upon whoso intrigue and baloful influ- ence tho plot mainly doponds. The role is ono worthy of study, and, in the hands of on actresa of Misa Le Olereq's capacity, could be casily mado & very striking and forci- blo part. 'he star, however, profors to take that of Helen Faraday, in every respect tha re- verse of Juno Temple. ~ Helen 18'n woman in tho truo senso of tho word, affectionate, tender, and \vumnnlg, ond the mncidents of the drama bring out & depth of pathos requiring more than ordiuary strength in tho actross, As played by Miss Lo Clereq, Helen receives a touch of color which gives ndditional pathos to the part, With- out dotracting from the sorrowful interest in- soporable from her condition as a victim, the ar- tist blends with it a superior dignily of con- 80ious 1nnoconco, Tather intensifying than do- stroying sympathy with misfortune. The charnctor becomos strongly Idoul, and worthier of rospoctful consideration. Iu genersl, tho star displayed thoso evidouces of finigh apd cul- ture—thouo trifles of stages gesturs and intona- tion noquired only by tho most careful study— which mark the gua nrtist, and are generally in such un]flsnsnut contrast with the crudities of the star’s support. In the more trying emotional scones thero iy an occasional weskness, although littlo can bo found to cavilat. In tho fourth act, Bliss LeCloreq strengthons her disguise with » Fronch _accont,—a dovico of a 1ather perilous sort with most performers, but inthis case, where tho language is apparemly thor- ougbly undorstood, vory effectivo. Mies Fletcher scarcoly appreciuted the possibilitics of Juno Temple, and the star was tho sufforer .thereby. Misa Flotcher is n very fair lnndmf Iady, but uoither in physiquo nor dramatic abllity is she enpablo of doing 8o strong » part qualified jus- tice. This unfortunate luadequacy ia deplorable in the prosent instanco, for the romainder of tha cast was oven and well-balanced, Xuis true that Mr. Marble burlosqued the part of Blaize, bo- cause he tried to make superlatively funny that which wonld lhave been funnier had it been loss actod. Mrs, Hill's costumo as Jfiss Dycer was rather too outre evon for & Bloomer, nor was thoro much forco to her imporsonation. Mr. Wood, as Frank Faraday, gave s much moro accaptable improsaion than duriug the porform- suco of tho drame last weok. Tho rest of tho charactors wore _batter than tho avorago, and Meusrs. Doon, Barrott, Everhiam, and Robinson, and Miss MoTenry ali desorve morderato praise for their contribution to |, a nicely-played drama, ** Fato will be continuad until Priday ovening, wwhon, on the occasion of her bonolit, Miss Lo Clercq will appear as Rosa- tind, This will bo ropeated at tho Saturday matinee, and tho fortmight will conclude with #* Masks and Faces.” THE GLODE THEATRE, “Erin A-Ohorra,” the lrish drama at Mr, Lawlor's theatro, i drawing good houscs, all disadvantagos being considored, _The iutroduc- tion of tho oharacter of Ggorge Francis Train into what is in itaelf a Blel‘linfi sonsational Irigh plece, full of highly-scasoned iucident, of the opular. order, 1 cathior 8 mistalie.’ Thero Lok appaar to bo ovon tho most romote con- nection between the nnshty personage intro- ducod and the plot or incidants of tho play. Mr, Wallace, in playing tho part, drossos in tho con- vontional brags-buttoned coat affected by Ar.
