It will bo re- membored tuat shortly after that, goutloman aesmod the civic chalr, the Times watched his private lifo so closoly as to be ablo to report to tho publio any carclessncss he displayed in gottliog hia board bill. 'Thoy let up, how- ovor, and from that time until now, with an occasional exception, the privato life of our ohiof municipal ofticer has not been made the nubject of any spocial attention until yosterdny morning whon he waa accused of tho torrible crime of going tu & varioty show, of gaz- ing with open oyes at tho twinkling fdetof n bevy of can-can dancers, aud of subsequently, together with ono or two other gontiemen, in- viting soveral of tho most bewitching of tho daocors to au adjoining restaurant, whore ho squandered upon n singlo repast with champagno accompantment the princely sum of 370, In order to find out what offact it any such terriblo accusations lind had upon tho biayorand tho trath they contained, a TiisuNe 1oporter callod at his oilico yesterday morning.

It opened Mon- day night to n slendor houso, the audionce last night belng but slightly Inrger thau on the provious night, ‘Tho drama iteelf ia tragic enough in its denouement to eatisfy tho most ploomy of suditors, being ono of an infinite number of variations played upon tho apparontly engrosslng themo of wife-seduction, 1t 18 & singulnr fact, often before noticod, that tho average nuthor sees mno other way to the heart of the average play-goor but to roprescnt the youug and wealthy fraction of tho world’s population, whellier German, En- glish, Fronch, American, or Jupanese, toiling with more or less of success to acoomplish thoe ruin of tho wives, mothers, and daughters of ‘anothor very important [raction, mamely, the laboiing, snd therofors undoubted- ly inoferior, one. Ir this is roally the esde fo lifo—nnd from conatant dinoing of tho themo, faintly disgnisod, into his cars, tho constant play-goer must begin to apprehond that it 18,—one-balf of the world surely does not know how the other half lives. 1t is's quostion whother enl'ghtcnmont upon that topiv is At all dewirable, but it sooms nn inovitable accompanimoent of theatrical relaxation. 1t is no uso tourgean objection. One cavnot ey to a managor, “Thank you, you aro too good, but I liave no de- siro to choko fmy meditations on haman life, snd its prosent and ite poswiblo, vaguely defined Late- after, with n constant dread that my best friends are socrotly without othor ob- ject in_lifo than the ~ pursuit of carual objeots.” If one does tho maunger will tell him to go whers Lo thiuks ho cnh get o sight of somothing clso ; ironically too, far ho knows from oxperienco that nothing clac is to bo bad. 1t is not unnatural thut with such a spectacla constantly botore him as thia he drops into the spitit of the Lbing, and, hating to be out of fash- ion, fulla {0 roxarling _socicty o8 Tus opportunity, and to cast aside » higher phil- osophy a8 a priggieh excoption unworthy of modern civilization, It is of no consoquonca that tho playswright throws in caiastrophio and n # conncquonice, If all women 8ro unchasto, as tho pla. wright begs to {nform you they aro, aud tho conscquences ih expericnce are fow, why wo know whag becomes of thoconsequences, Thoy go whero such things usually fo. linman passion is hardly restramnabls by the dirost consoquences whon roused to nctivity. * Lot iu London " heing but o variation with somo gonious complications of incidont and dwlogie, and wome opportumities for good acting, it s quite wvnnccesasry to glve tho plot, further than to say the wilo of an honest man is corruptod by a young and good-looking ono ; i8 restored to her bomo by bor hasband, and dies forgiven, with s hint to the audionce for tho tho tag that, thourh **lost (by hor husvaud) in London, sho will be found up thero,"—indicated by tho fingor of scorn, strangely enough,— “and that will be all right” Woll, tho public buys t; blessnd bo the public.

Nobody doubted its truth ; but wo Lave had an overdose of that sort of thing, and, though it may be neccesary to the nvorage Brooklyn newspaper reador to wallow round all tho time in such mattors, it was amatter of locul {nterest only. In tact, it waa alrendy forgotten when Miss Neilson choso the oppor- tunity of referring to it in the way of donial in » Chicago newspapor.
