Eames, Pieotdert of the Commereial National Bank. ¥ir. Taylor is to be recalled. FEELING OF THE JUROBS. During the examiration of the Witnesses there wag & running conversation among the Jurymen sbont the law and the evidence. The disposiiion of tho majority seemed to be to bring ont everything that was favorable to Mr. Gage, as well 28 all that went acainst bim. One of the jursmen remarked that nothing had been ronght out showiog that there was criminal in- tent on the part of Aft. Gage. There were sev- eral ¥ho asserted that, if Mr. Gavowere indicted, tles weuld bave to indict the Mayor, mem- bers of the Finance Committee, Comptroller, and Corporztion Counsel, and every one of the Lanlers who took the money, and paid interest for it, becruse they knew it belonged to the city, and that Mr. Gnga deposited it with them as City Treasurer. The suswer made to this was, thet none of the persons named had been presented to the Grand Jury, and that there could be a0 indictments found against them un- til they were. Although most of tho jurymen believe that Mr. Gage cannot be convicied, it i8 I‘flem_ry probable that a bill willbe found against There being some doubt as to whether the law onder which 3fr. Reed claimed that an indict- ment cou'd bo found was_applicable to this par- ticalar cose, the jury decided to ask Judge Rogers for his opinion, and it will probably be given some time this moraing. AMUSEMENTS. SALYINI AS BAMSON, -t criticism of Salvini's performance at Mo- Ticker's Monday. evening was crowded out by other ma.ter, but tho merite of the player were such that it deserves publication, even though 3t £0 comparatively late a day : The leading incidonts. of the play are well inown 1o all readers of the O1d Testament. The loves of Samson and Delilah zre not a8 romantic tsthoce cf Romeo aud Juliet, or Lancelot and Guinevere, but they are truer to nature, and they are copstantly -epeated. Juliet is dead berond resurrection, but Delilah lives in every s, and daily botrays with sweet kisses and filse words, Samson, like Azamemnon and otker strong men, was unfortunate in his rela- tions with women. His first flame wept and pouted till sbe stolo bis secrets, and his second Xieed and caressed till she found the source of bis girength, the heel of the Hebrew Achilles.

His gesticulation is natural cagy, unconstrained. Itis never melodramatic m1dn llfimys expressive. . In this play he showed himself the stro in tho iagic, rather than in tho pathotic sceaes. There whera ho eteps forward as the mighty man of Yarael, tho defender of his people against the iusults of the Philistines, Lo rises to his full grandour. He is no big bully, no Dowery Boy standing out as the erack figlter of his side. He is the avenger, the chosen onc, the Hebrew conscious of bis high mission, animated and in- spired by the Lord of Hosts. 'A touch of brag- gadocis. and be would bo Jost, and the sublime would sink into the ridiculous. Dut, throughout it all, he is never the *‘bully boy,” but always the warrior of Tsrael. The closing part of tho act, where bLe carries off his father on his shoulders through the yielding throng of his opponents, 88 Zneas took Anchises from tho sack or Troy, is equally grand, Sam- son’s eyes burn with light. He does not lift his band,—that hand which. could in a. moment sweep lus foes out of existence,—but tho audience can perceive the consciousness of sup- pressed power ; hus knowledge of his ability, Lis determination not to use it. . o won less applanse in thoso scenas in which he surrendered to the seductions of his charmer, possibly becauso women donot applaud Delilahs, nor men love-sick Samsons, Detiich uses ali Dber blandishments, beguiles her lover as Vivien did Merlin, and at last, after she has plucked his secret from him, he einks off into s drunken slesp. Then tho curtain falls, aad the sudience is not vompelled to see a scene drawn from a barborshop. The curtain rises and shows Samson, aaleep and shorn, with the Philistines npon him. And then it is that Salvini shows all Lis grest powers again when Le awakens from that sleep 1n which Delilah has given us tho Hebrew version of the * Rape of the Lock.” . For the moment he is ignorant of what has happened; ho believes himsclf to be still a Nazarite with unshorn hair. Confident in his old strength, he advances toward his en- emies, and they, balf afraid, half assured, draw back before him. Suddeuly s tremor passes over his vaat framo. _Ho feels that somothing is amiss, but .what it is bo does not know. He r1aises his hand to his head and discovers what the traitress hss done. Then, in rapid succes- sion, rage, despair, vengeance, self-reproach, and sorrow for his peoplo sweop across his ex— pressive countenance, and it is & relicf to the audience when the curtain falls, and the wreck of past greatness disappears from sight. The lost art, the one which contains the catastropbe, the one which shows us Samson Egoless, in Gaza, at the mill, with slaves, does not impress the audience as much asits ‘predecessors. The scenic effects are not as im- posing as_they should be, and some of the doings of Samson are not altogether pleasing to | modern play-goers. When he mourns over his blindaess, and points to the empty sockets of his eyes, be causes & feeling of disgust rather than of horror. We do not like to sco unpleasant things. Medea's children should be kilied [ behind _ the curtain, and Samson could make his blinduess Lkuown without calliag the attention of the audienco so pointedly to the fact. Still, one of his_grandest picccs of where Samson, conscious of returning strength. feels that the time has come to redress his own injuries snd ‘his ‘country’s -wrongs. His face glows with almost supernatural pndeas be stretches out hie arms against the pillars of the Temple, aud the expression of lus fentures, the passionate joy and revengo that inspire them, are envugh to show the audience that he knows that the Lord has granted him that he may be avenged of the Philistines. It would be unjust to mention Salvini alone, and to allow Signora Piamonti, who took the part of Delilah, to go uuuoticed. She played the part admirably., Her womsnly wsys, her caressing, seductive wiles formed the most per~ fect foil to the rugged, masculine forco of Sam- son. In the original, Delila 18 s mere wanton, who sells out her lover for gold. The Lords of Philistia came up to sce her, and *brought money in therr hands.” But such transactions would never do in a play, andso the diamatist givos her & more fitting motive for her treach- ery. She is informed of the slaugbter of her countrymen by Samson, armed with the jasbone of the'nss, and under an_impulse of patriotism she yields to the persuasions of the Phlistincs. The struggle between her love for her country and her asband is a beautifal piece of acting, deserving tho applause it received. This trans- formation of a Delilah into s Judith is contrary to history, but it adds grestly to the opportuni- ties of the actress. Samson and Delilah. These are the only parts which deserve special mention, the other characters contributing little or nothing to the interest of the play, but the unnoticed actors, the * and others,” are deserving of praise, for they did faithfally all tnat was allotted to them. SALVINT 45 * SULLIVAX.” Salvini's second appearznce in Chicago was in comedy, and the limited sudience to which he Rh}‘ed last evening is an evidence that the pub- i has not been educated up to the belicf thata tragedian can play in comedy with any degree of success. The public is all wrong on this subject a8 on otbers. Public indifference to the * David Garrick ” of Salvini can be well accounted for by tLe fact that even with the aid of a Libretto and & recollection of the piece played in English, by an English comedian on the provious evening, the auditor thas fortunate could not truthfully say that he was ecstatically moved. The moun who says “True art needs no language to interpret it" shuts himself wup in s fallacy, 8o far at any rate as Italian com- edy is concerned. * Saliivan " is 80 cesontially “Duvid Garrick,” that a sketch of the play given m a oice of Ar. Sothern's impersonation of the character of the great actor need not be reposted here. Thero is but one diflerence, aud that 1n point of date. “Sullivan”is a play of modern times ; ** David Garrick” of the era of its hero. The obsorver is therefore called upon rather to draw comparisons disparaging to his ancestor, than to compare the two great actors who played the ssme part, for there can be no comparison of the mon. Ope feels tho depravity of Ssm Johnson's dsy on seeing Salvin's portrayal of the drunken scene. 10 disgust a girl of those dark days, the mctor played beastly drunk; to perform the ssme charitable action in a dress suit in the present century, a single stagger is sufficient. And herein Lies the on|{ difference, 80_far as can be observed : that Salvini's Sullivan is more refined in his simulated intoxication than is Sothern's Garrick, Butto the point. The construction of “Sullivan ” is less in accord with our modern idess of a druma then “ David Garrick.” Tho action of the pidce is less lively ; the comedy isin the dialogno and the action of the players, and the Contiaental school of comedy is not plainly intelligiole to ns. 1Its mobility of feature snd rapidity of gesture is foreign to us, and, while we admire, we wonder grestly ; thus does true art require the interpretation of words to tinish it to our less volatile minds. To on Italian, or a Frenchmsn even, ignorant of Itaiian, we have no doubt thet * Sullivan,” 88 played last evening, was sn exquisite performance ; toa mixed American andience it was too evanescent to be anything but interesting, the interest oc- | casionally giving way to weariness. At the same time, Salvini's first entrance, snd the soliloquy _ immediately following’ it, gave tho audicnce to understand peremptorily that & great sctor stood before them.—an artist whose every motion, every change of facial expresgion, was a study, and who conld express by them, Fithont the use of words, the changing thoughts that flitted throngh his brain. But it is just as fair to assumo that & mixed sudicuce can under- staud every thought of the grand mester while istening to one of Beothoven’s sonatas, &8 to find tho true meaning of every shadow that the thoughts of the_player cast upon his counte- pance. To seek it in the libretto is to lose the actors interpretation; to gloso the book is to listen in bewilderment. Wo are motyet educated to superlative pastomime, and are thus Toscrs, whatever course we take in this respect. What is trae of Salvini, mast be true of the oth- er members of this brilliant company. _There is Tothing lacking in the make-up and setion of all these people to point out the full meaning of their Jines, but the difficulty lies in grasping the Lines while their meaning is illustrating. Per- haps the most intelligible Iragment of the whole performance is the ke scens above alluded to. A stagger, we bavesaid, is suflicient, and Salvini's rendering justifies the remark. There was nothing coamse in it, ex- cept as soy suggestion at dronkenness is coarse. It is not Loisterous, nor loud, it is tho drunkenness of a man who, sccastomed to drioking, has gone beyond his limit, and is en- desvoring to conceal the fact. Itis more, re- Volting, - because to us it is more reslistic than Mr. Sothern's; not because it is & more faithful pictrre, The beauties of the last act are almost Pompletely lostin the language. e canmot tell from his action, whether the player weeps from remorse over the grief he caused his mother, or whether it i& the awkward position in which he finds bimsell. that causes his tears to How.

THE ACADEMY. It seems almost hypereriticsl to express a feeling akin to disappoincmont at 3 peformance which leaves not s gingle_loop-hole for actual criticiem ; to find fault with a play in which the ing tbroughout is almost flawless ; but to an suditor who hes been convuised with laughter at 3r. Bothern's brilliant caricatures of Dundreary and Sam, and has anticipated 1n his performance of David Garrick something s su- perior to either of these characters as legitimate comedy is to mere extravaganza, there must come a feeling of - only partial satistaction. Per- baps_tbe highly piquant flavor of the farce avd ir. Sothern’s breadth of caricature has spoiled our sppetite for the more delicate bouquet of TRobertgonian comedy, just cs carry and port mar the full ebjoyment of the rare vintages of tho Rhine, Porhaps, too, ~ the marvellous performances with which Mr. Sothern bhas dalighted us have aided imagination in picturing something that no living man conld realize. 1t is true that we have seen Darid Garrick played in Chicago. We have scon Mr. Lingard play the part, also Mr. Dlaisdell, aud Lave, while enjoying the i ecting comes at the conclusion of this very act, | ieco wonderad where Mr. Sothern could make t incomparable. The very poverty of the mate- rial (for after all it does seom rather poor now) bas made us credit the actor with s power of magic, which it is unjuat to accuse him of lack- ing. Mo sum up brietly, David Garrici is s part that g dozen artists in this country can play, since it requires ouly that finished perfection of art which counterfeits nature, and whicl is more or less possessed by that number of American comedians. To draw & parallel: Edwin Adams plays Rover in *Wild Oats™ with precisaly tho #ame fidelity to nature; Johu S. Clarke is ac- tually Major De Boots. No one but Mr. Sotbern i8 Lord Dundreary, and he desceuds frowm his lofty eminence when he meets othors as oquals. W were not prepared to find him the equal, or evon only in a trifling degree the wuperior, of other actors in playing a part. We have found bim apart from. and sabove others hitherto, and are disappomnted that ho is not o always. 1t is plain that David Garrick cau be exhausted with- out the application of all Alr. Bothern's resources. And, while we must feel disappoiated, it is only just to remember that the play, not the player, 18 wanting The fact that two of the most fin- 1shed artists of modern times, Salvini and Soth- ern, last evoning played their vorsions of this drama, adds addisional intorest to the piece, and, as the plot is substantially the same, the eituations the same, and only the date of the scane different, wo shall ventaro' to give, in & few lines, & synopsis of the drama, prefacing it with the remark that Selvini plsyed the original, written by a Frenchman. from which Robort- son adapted David Garrick for Mr. Sothera: Ada Ingot, the daaghler of an Euglish mer- chant whoso ignorance of tho stage leads him to regard it with cootefpt, happoas, while on 8 visit to a relative in the city, to see Garrick nct at Drury Lane. She is delighted, goes to the play every nigit for five months, and falls desperately in love with the actor. She does not conceal this passion from ber father. "That worthy porson, determined to put an end to this romance, sends for Garrick, tells the story, and offers to settle a fortune on him if Do will quit England. Garrick rejects lus offer, | but pledges Limself to disgust tho girl, and so i quench her love for him. He sccordingly in- vites himself to dinner with the merchant, and there meeting Ada, recognizosin her the ong sympathetic uditor whom he has blindly loved for tive months withont knowing her namo. His promise given, he dctermines to redeem _tho_plodge, and, calling to his aid_his wonderful histrionic powers, plays off drunk.” The ruse is successful; Ada isdisenchanted, and promises to marry her cousin, Squire Chity. But that youog reprobate prevents tho consum- mation of thematch Ly telling to father and daugiter i a maudlin, drunken way, how Gar- rick had returned tothe club in & condition of despondency, hed narrated the whole story to { the gentlemen present without giving names, aud ind shaken aman for calliog the girlan jaiot; how the shaken man had challenged Garrick, and how Garrick intended to meet him next morniug with swords. A new lignt breaks in oo Ada,and she recalls her promise to marry Chivy. Her wedding with her cousin is set for the following morning ; but Ada Las fled to Garrick's room to prevent & duel, but is too late. While there, she is found by her fath- er, who renounces hor, wheroupon sho_faints. At this moment Garrick retwns, having dis- armed his opponent, and Mr. Ingol conceals himself. Garrick confesses his love to Ada, but, mndful of his promise, urges the girl to oboy her father and forge: him. Ingol, over- hearing the conversation, is so overcome by the honorable conduct of tae player, that he fracly gives his daughter to a man whom he Ded previously regarded ass s scoundrel, and, what is worse, in his opinion, an actor. The drama is divided into three acts. The first introduces Jngor and @arrick, and the audience is treated to a quiet little scene, full of deioty humor, during which the player is sub- jected to & running fire of ignorant personal in- Bult, quite unintentional on the part of the mer- chant, and borue by the actor with the equan- imity that good breeding necessitates, There is notbing especially fine sbont the act; it isof that quiet, subjective order to Which we are un- fortnnatoly unaccustomed here. Ar. Sothern ploys it fanltlessly, occasionally dropping in one of those trifling gestures which, liko politeness, go 80 far and cost so little. Tho act amuses and pleases merely; it does not move in any way. Tho second 'sct introduces the vulgar friecds of _ the iguorant man of wealth, and_brings the plager into the society of ill-bred, weil-to-do trades-people. Here the charm of the acting is the contrast be- tween tne plevor and tho people, who, whilo en- deavoring to patronize, secrotly worship afac off. There is & flash of emotional acting of the high- est order on Mr. Sothern's part. as hs recognizes in Ada the one sympathetic auditor to whom he Das plsyed every night, and whom be has long loved unknown. He hias promiscd her father to disgust her with him. and, terrible as tho sacm- fice is, he sets himself to work to redeem that romise. How he does it is presently revealed n the drunken scene, which being o eamplo of the “drunks™ of a day when a man's socinl standing was measared by his capacity for wine, is sulliciently disgusting to both sudienco snd lady. Mr. Sothern is careful to let the audience know that Garrick is only acting 2 part, and the distress of the unfortunate playor who is thus deliberately working out the ruin_of his own hopes in obedience fo & promise, is given with toaching fidelity. The druaken scene itsell is admirably given ; bnt it is as much beneath Alr. Sothern as JDavid Garrick, and this very sacrifice of self-respect sccures for the part tha fullest sympathy of the sudience. Tho last act differs in mood from the other. The sense of honorable self-sscrifico is more apparent and more lofty. Here, if nowhere else, Mr. Soth- ern's resources of vocal flexibility, and rapid action, are drawn upon, and the ecene becomes ono of the most intense interest. The sur- roundings sre forgotten, and the rudienco only remember tho strugglo between honor and pussion, and follow the dialoguo with breathless interest. This suspense is ar- tistically sustainod by the dubious attitnde of Ingot, who, balf concealed, overbears the con- ersation, and, by mo soand or action, betrs: the effect of the actor’s conduct upon When, therefore, Lie steps forward and_ rece Lis daughter from Garrick, and hands her back to the player, the peut-up feelings of the audi- ence burst forth in a round of spontaneous ap- plause. Tho approval of a mixec audicace is by no means a criterion of merit, becauzs mare stago trickery can call it out when true_srt can- not reach 1¢; but there is 1o trickery about this scene,—it is art, puro aod undefiled, and thare is a ring about the applause that tells how truly Mr. Sothern has wrought upon the hearts of the men and women bofore bim. And the curtain falls, lesving the andience rogrotful that tho picce atlowed only this ooe glimpse of Mr. Sothern’s exquisite art. One of the beauties of the play is the distribution of the characters. %ida Ingot is o eweet, intellectual girl, strong only 84 beauty, wit, aud virtue arestrong, and is played by Miss Walton with the grace of nature ‘hich can only be achieved by careful study. Simon Ingot was played by Ar. Bowers, who fully appreciatod the part, ronnding off into 3 nnmfpemonnge the an; r idiot we might expoct to ses represented in his place. Chicago s been especially fortunate in Ingols, tho part baving alwavs been oxceedingly well played here. Squire Chivy is not an easy part. It is the suthor's dntithesis of Garrick, and, therefore, peeds to be measurably strong in contrast. That Mr. Lytton Sothern succecded in plsying it with animation and character is greatly to the credit of & young sctor of limited experienco. Indoed, wehave seen it plared no better by s celebrated comedisn of Western fama. The minor parts by the Academy compavy are all ell taken, Mr, Everbam malting up and ployiog ‘better than msnal.

Minot J. Bavage, pastor of tho Third Umtarian Church, delivered an interesting lecture before the Christian Uvion Monday evening on the subject of * Laughter in Ear- nest.” 'The attendance Was quite lurge, espe- cially considering the attraction elsewuerc. Alr. Savage began by stating that ho had once met s man who had read the * Pickwick Pa- pers” through without laughing. It soems al- 1most impossiole, especially as laughtersnd tears are cousidered exclusively human; yet one could almost imagine some of our Darwinisn an- cestors going into convulsions over Sam Weller or Mr. Wingie. If & mon suspected of murder conld still heertily and_naturally laugh, it shonld be ad- mitted as favorable testiriony in his behalf. There wore people who never laugled, because they never saw suytbing to laugi at ; people of whom Bidney Smith once said they never could got a joko into their heads except by surgical operation. Quote to them Artemss Ward's remmk, “I bave no politics, and my other habits aro goed ;” or Mark I'wain's, “‘If fish 18 good for the brain, I have some frionds who onght to eat » whalo;” or Josh Billings whon hosaid, “If & young man,can’c be well balanced in any other wey, 1 have no ob- jection to bis parting bis bair 1’ the middle,” and thoy would either begin to argue on the sub- ject, or elte take you for & bicoklicad. But there was anotuer class of people, the very antipodes of the foregoing, whoee faces, al- ways on the broad grin, wouli serve bly a8 headpieces for Punch. Life to them was one grand farce. They looked upon men and_wom- en, life's ups and downe, pleasure and pain, joy and sorrow, only as so much grist for their great joke mill. But to gain the reputation of being one of these eminently Iunaf fellows, & man must lower himself. He would bo liked as a plaything, but when serious work was to be done be would be laid aside. A toira ciass would laugh when there was pothing serious on band, but thought that & smile was ioconsistent with carnestness, and should never be used in the service of truth and right. Mr. Savage then procaeded to show the earnostness of laughrer by a number of apt illustrations from various humorists, poets, thinkers, and statesmen, which certainly, in their effect upon the audience, gave s practical direction to the power of wit snd humorin en- tertaining people. He went on to show that for dealing with sbame and pretenses no power was 80 appropricte and successful s that of laugh- ter. Oneof the best thrusts of this kind was made by old Father Taylor, the salor preacher of Boston. A pompous noodle from Beacon street went into Father Taylor's prayer-meet- ing, sand, in 8 condescending manner, gave the sailors some fatherly counsel. When Do finished he sat down with the air of one who bad come down froma lofty height to do his Christian duty by the lowly. Father Taylor, whbo was jealous of the rights and tender of the feelings of his sailors, rose immediately and ex- claimed, * I8 there any other cld sinner from up-town who would like to say & fow ‘words 2" Ar. Savage gave s large number of amasing anecdotes, wcluding txo of Mr. Lincoln’s best stories, most of which were new to_his hearers, and which provoked them to langhter quita fre- quently. He spoke of the propriety of the use of wit, humor, sarcasm, and ridicule in the pul- pit, where they could bo effectively employed to overthrow wrong. If one eimply use them to create s laugh, or to obtaic the reputation of @ sensational preacher, they become mero buffoonery. but if used to illustrata prmciples, to sustain trath and demolish error, they were a8 uch God’s instruments as the most solemn teaching. They had been taught too much to approach God a8 o deity to_be wholly dreaded ; one Who frowned upon mirth and batod langh- ter, bat it did not seem to be natursl that His cnracter should be &0 severe. Ho probably eu- joyed our laughter and amnsement s much as any father enjoyed the prattle and joy of his children. Mr. Savage's lecture was ono which can only be dnly appreciated when heard in full, deliv- ored in his own peculiar manuer, which adds an additional charm to the matter itself. The Christian Union Course shounld be & success, if ull their selections of lecturers and lectures are equally felicitove. LECTURE BY NATHAN SHEPPARD. Prof. Sheppard, of the Chicago University, delivered s lecture yesterday afternoon, in the lactura-room of the Chicago Christian Union, on the works of Georgo Eliot. The first part of the lecture was au analytic criticism of the style of this popular author. He characterized her writ- ings us essentially novels, and not romances. Her school, which wss entirely of her own mak- ing, might be clagsified as the school of human motives. In depicting them, she surpassed all other novelists in the elaborateness with which she doscribed the hidden springs of human thought and impulse, It was not so much, With her, that one ¢id & cortain thing, but iho reason why it was done. It was Lier eager- ness after the motives of peoble which was the great charm of her books, To thoroughly appreciate_Lier writings, they foust be read with a due understanding of what were really the great beauties of her works, which lay veither in the narration of exciting iocidents, the depict— ing of society, nor the creation of & plot. For those'who read her books in the hight of stories alone, a disappointment was in storo. Inone thing George Eliot soared abova all other novel- ists, in the disdaining to use any of the many tricks of the trade which most novelists in- dulged in. Bhe avoided drawing monstrosities, and consequontly nover touched upon romance nor ssnk into burlesque. Never in our time were words made to approach 8o near to the subtloty of thought. Many of.the sentences in Der works wero 80 foll of meaning that it was only by careful study that their full purport was found out. Tho conversational parts of her works were very well managed, but they often showea a lack of management which a more ex- perienced book-maker would have avoided. But fenerally her conversations were splendid and cama a8 near to nature a8 art_could bring them. Hor faulty eentences, of which there wero not & few, were proofs of how the very teachers of English were apt at times themselves to nap and blunder. The leztnrer aid that if it were true that the tone of many of her books was sad. it mast also bo remembered that the undercurrent of most lives was ead. . And it mustpe confesred tha: thero was nothing unnatural in their rad- ness. Tho'lstter and larger part of the lectnre cousisted of ‘the reading of selections from Middlemarch and other 'of her works, inter- spersed with critical remarks. At ita conclusion, d‘:: lecturer stated shat next Tuesdsy he would Jecture on tho works of Charles Dickana. sttt . JAICHIGAN ITEAS. Special Dirpalch to The Chicngo Tribune.
