The dearth of dramatic enteitainments which has charocterized the past three or four preced- ing weeks continued last week uninterruptedly, if wo except the performences of Mr. Jobn Dil- lon ond the company supporting him st the Academy of Blusic. Even with' his entertain- ments included, thero was little or nothing to at- tract generel atttention. ir. Dillon was playing in several exccllent pieces, rendering his par- ticular partsas usual, and amusmg larze sudi- ences. In him centered the ent responsibil- 1ty of providing the legitimato. s week tho Academy will be beraft even of him, i THE ADELPHI COMPANT at Hooley's has been plaving during the past week to crowded houses, and has more than met the anticipations of the mauagement. It Las demonstrated that Mr. Grover's success at the Adelphi was due in no extraerdinary measure to the fiee-aud easy siylo of dows things, aud that, by throwing the theatre open to ladies every oveniug 25 woll a5 o5 matinees, the smount lost Dby shuiiing down on smoking ias boen more thao regained. The Lill for the week has been a good one. It was changed it a measure in the middle of the week, nud public imtervst kept alive. The programme for this week will Le better tuan ever. In ddition o tho specialites given last weck. the great Kuropoan siars, the Carons, the best living gyunasts, togetber with their educated pets, will be the main steractions.

HOOLEY'S COXPL: Last Sundaywe publizhed alist of Mr. Tooley's new compsny, with such informucion cou- cerning them as could ba gatlered. ‘1ho prom- i50 of next yesr's scabon wmade in tho general and individub! excelicuce of. the new combina-~ uon_is confiumed by, the schewe p 3ir. Fred Williams of pieces tu bo the season.~ This will uesurelly give satisfac- tion. Mr. Wiliams has hud ten vears’ experi- ece as stage-manager of oo of the best com- panies in this country or Eugland. and Las come to thie conclusion that variely i8 needed in the conduct of & comedy theatre. e wiil therofore produce dramas of different chools, and mako the contrasts beiwoen them 8 sharp and woll-de— fined s the range of dramatio authorship will admit of. While the public 1 sull in the Lumor for it, be will give them the lutest novelties in the modcrn French school. _Aug. 31 the theatro will e opened with ir. Bouciczal's adaptation, +¢ Led Astray.” This will Le Soilowed by a piece by Seribe, prepared for the English stage by Mr. Wil s, aud entitled *The Tangled Chan.™ The reigning sensation of tho Last, *Tho Sphiux,” by Octave Feuillet, will bs brought ont, at Hooloy's simultaneously with 1t production a the Umon Square, New York, with Claza Dlorriy in the loading role. The version pliyed hero bas been transiated and Asgiicised by Mir. Williams, and will be, without doub, a great suc- “Ille manggentent will Lold in Teservo Frou-Frou,” * The New House,” Ly Sardou and several other dramas of this chool to be prodaced when tho timo comes. Having givon tho public & fuur taste of thereigning elyie, Mr. Williams will fall back’ on the strong lish society piecos like *Lady Audley's Secret,” “Mian and Wife,” aud so forth, wi'h s capitul Jist of them, iwhich we are not at liberty to disclose. Following these will' bo & season of old comedy—“7The I Jozd to Ruin,” *The Heir “Old Heads and Young Hearts,” hearts and Wives,” * Cyril's and others. Then siich piccis 88 ++The Poor Gevtiemen,” **Town and Coul \Belle's Stratagem,” “The Inconstant.” éte. There will be & season of lght operettas like i Box avd Oos,” “The Meld with the Miilking- Pail,” The Bonoy Fish-Wifo,” and 3 host of others. Then an oceasionul extravaganza, not a bazlesque, bo it understood, but souet Dining the spectacaiar and’ light comed “The Sleeping Beauty.” Saturdsy mghts are tobe given up 1o 20 en- tiroly differont cluss of enieriaiumanti—lesry Shakispearean aud clasrical piecas—* achsli, Winehard 1IL," “Hamlet “Rickchew” «Othello,” “TLo Rébbers,” *“Iagomar,” **The TLady of Lyons,” and occasionally sensational ieces, R Mr. Willinms has been saccessful in running some of the abovo-named pieces in Boston 23 long o8 six and even eighi “Dora,” wShe Stoops to Conquer,” e School for Heandal,” zud ono or two othera were notably popular. This 16 accountod for in one or fwo Patticulars, Tho picces were thoroughly re- hearsed, and the first performance was a5 per- teot as the last. Notbing was ever put on the stage before it was resdy. It was dressed and acted, in tho mannger's oycs at least, almost feultiessiy, and the. critics, s a rule, had noth- ing to find fault with in this respect. This is wbal we ave endeavored to impress upoa Mr. Hooley a8 essential for the past two scasons. Now that ho has tho intelli- Pont co-operation of thie best stage-manager in the country, there will probably be nothing to complain of. The mountivg, i point of com- plete unity in sceucry, proy\))erhes, upholstery, D other cssentials will be surpassed in no fheatro in the couatry, and in tlus azain Mr. Hooley will ba improving upon his last year's system. ; Without wishing fo take any especial credit for it, wo wish to remind thie public that it is to the ubtiring offorts of the prees that thoy are inGtbted for the clevated charactor of dramatic Tapresentation in this city. The nowspapershave never lost an opportunily of pressing upon Mr. Tlooloy tho necessity for givivg the better class of the commupity the very best that the drama could afford. We haveno fearsas to the suc~ Soss of the updertaking, but would further re- wind the public flat its failuro or BUCCEss is 1m iheir bands. Not to give Ar. Hooley the \vn.mast encouragement this season would be to acknowl- edge that as » community we 8re satisfied with medicerity. Our reputation abroad belies us as . a aity, if uch an adiission i3 tobe made. Mr. Hocfey‘d suceess will tend to foster thae dramatic art throughout the country ; bis failure will Le 2 blow to the drama, and a sourco of ridicul o to Chicago. The one will show the wotld that Dos- ton is not the only city in the country worthy of the npame of au intellectual ‘motropolis ; the other that Chicago™s ini tellectual pretensions are Ohfounded. We await the event with hope, sad without misgiving. A THE ACADEMY OF TBIC. S A week from fo-morrow & wéw combination, Lknown as Schumann's Trans-Atlantic Novelts Company, will take possessiot of tite Academy of Music. ‘This consists of o stringinz together {nto one entertainmont of & number Of interest- ing foatures of the drams, the circus, and the variety theatre, It opens with & comic panto- mime, followed by feais of jugglery by Alons. Beckmann ; velocipede exhibitions ; gymnastic and acrobatic marvels ; sleight-of-hand feats, sword-swailowing, and other features. The list of acts is long aud varied, and the success of Lo combination in the East warrants its excel- lence. . Tho press bas praised it widoly, eud there can be no doubt of its popularity in Chicago. TRAVELING WONDERS, Mr. James C. Padget, the well-known actor and manager, will start on a tour through the Northwestern States_next week with Carloita LeClereq sod 8 good comvany. Inasmuch as Mr. Blaiadell advertises that “ho will travol to Donver, San Francisco, and_Australia, Jir. Pad- get has decided to extead his route also. He will pny at all points on tho Union Pacific, at San Francisco, Honolulu, Pekin, Seringapatam, Siduoy, Melbourne, and Jorsey, roturning via Oshkodb, Kaukakeo, and Calumet. The latter route is & little more variod than that chozen by Mr. Bluisdell, but competition sccounts for almost everything. DRAIATIC KOTES. Toolo is already in New York.

When Gerrick visited Paris in 1752, and at- tended the Taeaire Francais, he prophesied that Mile. Clairon would soon excel’ all her competi- fots, although at that timo dille. Dumasnil was the reigning favorite, When he was sgain in Paris, in 1763, several persons of the first dis- tinction of both eexes, Engheh and French, met by appointment st tho Louse of a distin- guished person. Mr. and Mra. Garrick aod Hfle. Clairon wera of the compeny. The cou- versation turned for some time upon bell lettres, in which the merits of various autlors were discnesed with equal judgment and can- dor. Many critical observations were mado onthe nction and eloquence of the Yrench and English theatres aund, at the request of the company, La Clairoo and Dawid Garrick con- sented to exnibit various specimens of their theairical taleuts, which produced .much enter- tajument. < This fricudly contest lasted for 8 considersble tume with great snimation on both gides. The company loadly declared their ap- Drabationof the two exhibitions fn tho strongert Proms. Ivwas remarked.thatthe French gave tho preference to Alr.

The expenditure of the Central Commit- tee during the year was 1,739 7s. 5d., of which the greater porcon was consumed in_eloc- tion expenses snd meetings in tho rrovinees. Mr. Forayth £aid his bill originally provided that “po married woman shall be entitled to vote.” Afterward, as they all knew, it was alicred by the desire of their committee into ‘¢ Nothing contained in this sct sball eutitle any woman under coverturo to be registered to vote.” They all knew that proviso bas caused wome dissatisfaction ; but in coneidering this question be bad found that three-fourths of the argu- ments brought forward in the Houze of Com- mons wero based on a vague and indefinite idea that, if the bill passed, married women would be ablo'to vote.

Thero was great difticulty in_obtsining s night for the dis- cuesion of the measure, bot they had dons their best to secure one, and if they were not successful it would not be his fault. The pros- pects of the movemout were never brighter and Tore eucouraging than uow. The argument from intellectual inferiority was practically given up now, and they rested upon an srgu- ment which was more difficult to meet, and that was that it is unfetmnina to take part in political hfe.

Alma, One of the Liveliest Mining Towns in Colorado, Making the Ascent of Mt. Lineoln—The View from Its Summit, Mines on Mt. Lincoln and Mt. Bross. Special Correspondence of the Chicago Tribune, AL, Col., July, 1674 These mountain-regions are very beautifnl, very picturesque, very health-inspiring, and, dnring fhe greater portion of the year, very cool. To a person fresh from the turbid banks of the Arxansss, where the mercury managed to convaulse itself to the extent of a hundred de- grees or more, where the sands burn and pave- ment® blister with the heat, the change is both sudden and delightrul. Here you are in the Tocality of PEDPETUAL ENOW. The June winds, that come sweeping down the ‘mountain-gorges in the vicinity of Fairplay and Alma, have the flavor of old winter abont them , and the irrigating ditch that runs in front of the principal hash-dispensary in this goodly town has & coating of ice half an inch 1o thickness. I write this amid the fragrance of violets, ver- beoas, plum-blossoms, and wild roses; balf a mile farther up, and you will find yourself floundering and tumbling in & snow- bank. Occasionally, when the clouds get over- charged, & liberal dose is sprinkled down hero; and is not uncommon to participate ina. smow-balling festival in Joly or August. All of tho springs and streams are ice-cold. and tho matutinal cocktail is flavored with hail-stones. It is apt to rain, hail, or snow, st any moment; and Old Probabilities himeelf can never predict whon & storm is coming. At 8 a.m., this very day, the sun was shining brightly, sud not 3 cloud was visible. A 8:30 a. m., a elight mist seltled, like an old-fashioned night-cap, over the head of Ms. Bross ; at 9 o'clock, lightning plaged & zigzag waltz down tbe mountain—the thun- der rolled—the rain fell; at 10 o'clock, hail- stones, the size of chestnuts, pstiered down in tho streets, and created a stampede among tho mules and buiros; at half-past 10, wo were in the midst of & dnving snow-storm; and now, at 12 m., all is calm and serone again, with no traces whatever of the late commotion. The rarified air enlarges tho lungs to the fullost capacity, and sends the blood bounding throngh every vein. It is impossible to remain hstlezs or indifforent in such an atmosphers, snd thora aro but few yawning imbeciles or street-cornor loafers. A man can't remain lazy or sloggish, even if he wishes to; and there can be no doubt that the base of the main range is A VERY Paradise for reform-schoois and all inetitutions designed to iuculcate moral and industrious principles.

They never can have cause to regrebthe exporiment. ALMA, the lively little mining town from which I write, lies 6 miies northirest of Fairplay, in Park Coun- ty, and containsa popuiation devoted almost oxclusively to mining interests. The town is nardly 3 year old ; but it boasts of fire or six grocery and drug stores, any quantity ofsaloons, four hotels, one dance-hali, and a large number of private houses, huddied together promiscu- ously. All the honses araof frame, and my criticsl gaze failed to discover more than two chimneys in tho entiro town. All of the stove- pipes go directly through the roof, without pro- toction of any kind ; and tho inference is con- clusive, that, if a fire ever gets nnder full head- way, it will sweep _the entire town. The popu- fation i8 about 600, and incressing every day. Tho Boston & Colorado Smelting Compavies Lave establishod works hero, in connection with their other works at Central apd Geoigetown, for the reduction of the ores, and are meating with very good success, 33 the ore of the Mt.

From some cause the Company aremot now buying any ore of the minew, and business isa little dullin conse- quence ; but_they expect to resume when ths old stock is worked up, aud trade will Sovive sgein. At these’ works, ouly tho Brst stages of the reduction-process aro gorle throngh with, the finithing touches being put on at, sad the bullion sbipped from, George- fown.

While the genoral public baye no particular interest in this Tivalry, yet thero is no denying tho fact that, at the present writing, Alma is showing ber antag- onist & clenn pair of heels, and is gradually ab- Sorbing the trado and capital of thie miningre- wion, Tourigts start from this point, miers urchase their supplies Lore, and capital comes Fushiog in for investment.

Every- thing required for the consumption of the iner man wells rendily, and at good prices. Flour ro- tails st $10 per hundred; potatoes, 5 cents por pounds; ouions, 20 cents; coffee, 40; butier, 70; sugar, 4 pounds to the dollar; while board, whera Texas beef and codfish-balls are the principal luxuries, cannos be secured for less than €15 per week.

Hontgomery, which stands st tho Dorthern bage of Mt. Lincoln, is aimost sbeo- lutely deserted; and the same can be said of Quartzville. In the first rush and fever of the pold-mining _excitemont, whea the placer- Gizgings of tho Platte were yiolding fabulous amounts of the yellow metal, Quartzrillo was the FOISIEST AXD MOST AMBITIOUS BURG in the Rocky Mountsin region.

Each side of the road is deuse- Iy wooded with the common yellow pine and green mountain-fir; and the aromatic smell, combined with the cool breszo that comes sweeping down from the heights above, is do- lightful. Wo paseed groups of miners,—some toiling upward, some resting beneath the teful shade, and all bound for the mines. One was recognized in the person of an old clasemate, who, & few vears azo, was expounding the mys- teries of sines and cosives to a class in the States. He failed in business, struck West, adopted the pick and shovel, and is now a long- hou‘lad, ~veteran miner, with a decidod poochant for “ Mought,” **You bet,” and draw-poker. The first snow-bank is reached at timber-lize, 2 miles from Alma, at an altitude of 11,000 feet. Tha ' line of demarkation is complete.

Themen and toams far up on tho sides looked like pigmies, and tho cabins at the shafts of the principal mines resembied toy-houses. Up, still up, above plsin, forest, and_park, abova foot-bills and valloys, abova mining towna and squatters’ ranches, clambered the road on tho breast of the mountain,—now rushing straight up some steep embankment, and again sidling off from the edge of some vil~ Ininous-lookng ravine. By 10 o'clock 8. m. the 3oose Kfine, on tho northern slope af Mt. Bross, was reached ; and from hero the road leads over a long, narrow, rocky ssddle, which stretches from Bross to the peaks of Montgomery and Lincoln.
