" THE DRAMA. - - CLABA MORRIS AND THE REALISM OF MODERY ART. 5 A To the Editor of The Tribune. Crrc4Go, July 20.—The bistrionic idex ia all gathered Into two schools, which are commouly known as-the classic and the realistic. The classic actor is a formalist,—a school man. He attacks a character from without. He searches. history, he ransscks tradition, he acquainte him- self with the arts, he studies all the sciences, he examines every system of ethics, and physics, and philosophy. . He works on his character like the sculptor upon his clay. He carries a meas- uring-rod fn bis hand. He constructs, be builds, he 2dds a little here, he cuts away some- thing there. He traces the minute relations existing oetween cause and effect. He studies the muscles of the face; hie understands the* mechanism of tie eye. fle knowshow to dance, he recefves lessons in elocation, he employs a fencing-master. He is at the same time a logician, 8 mathematician, » philosopher, aud apatomist: He spends half his lite perfecting a character, but whdn it is Gnished heelectrotypes it, and ever after his representations ate an ex- act reproduction of his standard down to tne minutest detail. The one-thousandth repeti- tion is precisely TIKE the one-hundredth. You will find the same pose, the same gestures, the same expression of the {ace, the same modula- tion of the voice, The'character s ground out’ mechanically, 50 to speak, like sound from the phonograph. The classic actor sclects and rejects, accordinz tolaw. He can give you a score of reasons for everything he does. He produces an effect by simulating a cause. In the strict sense he does not feel anything. * Feel 167" said ove of them; «*my dear slr, the moment 1 feel anything I am lost.” The classic actor exits from the fren- Zzicd passazes of Lear or Macbeth to resume the thread of common-places benind the scenes. He is an enigma, 2 magician, & living exposition of the arts and sciences. On the other hund, our modern realists are cxempt from rules and untiammeled by prece- dent. They grasp their characters from within, euided solely by their intuition. The source of their inspirstion is not so readily traced or proven, for it lies at the hidden fouutains of human life. If they have recourse to history, it is that of the soul. If they erapple with tradi- tion, iv is to overturn it. They depend upon the tashin the eye, the. quaver in tbe voice, the fever in the blood, the response of the nerves to the tightning-stroke of the brain. The passion surging in them isthe cause of all. The muscles contract and relax, the tlesh shivers, the tears sprivg and fall, because of the human fire burn- iug atike in brain and heart. The realist feels everything, lives everything.in his own life. His endeavor enfeebles Lis body. It de- stroys his tissue and consumes his flesh, Hence bemever acts thesame character in precisely the eante 1nanner, but ever different, Wity more or less variation of situstion sad incident, with more or less power and effect, as the mystesious life-tide flows and ebbs his own bosom. The realist pro- duces both cause ‘and effect in him- self, and the shock burns him. He is conscious -of is power, prodigal of his encrisies, fearless of compurison. Io_consequence he has seasons of exaltatjons and depressions of utter prostra- tlon ana despair. ~His forces are speat, and he needs time to recuperate them. The supreme trinmiph of the realist is a species o! intelieczual diseipation. Mme. Ristori and Mr. Barrett belong to the classic scnool. 3liss Morris and Sig. Salvini are the leaders of modern realism. The imper- sonations vt Ristori are hike views of statuary beloszinr to the Florentine school of expres- sion, and which are seen’ througn the - sterco- scopic lens. ‘I'he statues await only the recep- tionof asonl. Or, again, the characters of these classic actors are hice the flzures carven on old Grees urns. Every line, every curve, every poise, is perfect, and we await upou the tiptoe of expectation. But the uplifted band never, oever sirkes, the fixed eyes never mett, the ury of despair which Jics upot toe bianched and ‘purted lips is never C uttered, It is an everlasting trance, the mimicry of sorrow, not eorrow itself. We examme these classic prodactions as we exawmine a work of art. Barr IHarebel is a frozen swo. . Ristori’s .Marie Anfoinctte is a shrick done in marble. They are magnificent oroducts of the imagination. Now. with Sal- vin's Othedo it Is differeut. We are in the pres- ence of a live man, und we seem 1o feel his ot breath upon our fuce. We do not take any note of his. surroundings; we see only him. While we re within the spell of his magnetisn we.haye no doubt about anyttung. We do not sdmire, we do not wait for nor expect the next step; we aure constantly startled, astounded, crusbed by the rapid- 1y, the vehemence, the avpailing natural- wess of his action. “And it is thus sith all realists. lostead, ‘like the classic actor, suw- gesting a socicty, or an epoch, they recall an individual commion to the human family in every land, unuer every dybasty, during every age of the world’s progress. We think of the tragedy we saw on the street the other day, or the event that happened long ago in the life of our friend; or, more frequently still, we recall some passage i tue secret history of our own soul. ‘These classic actors have the genius of art—the 1deal; their brethren of the otber “school the uenius of nature—the real. The latter part of this ninetcenth ccnlm’fl' is an aze of materialism, whica seems to reac] its highest development ere in America. Every zZencration draws mnaterfal and inspiration from the ages which have preceded it. ~ On this Con- tinent and in these times man no longer looks at the world trom a bill 1 Greece or Irom the bank of the Tiber.

Awong all the arts, that one which can best Tepresent the present life here in America is the histrioulc art. It combiues form, color, music, and hiterature. - It has the five seasus of man. " To'adequately represent this era a wom- an of sinzular scosibility and remarkable genius was fouud in Clara Morris. She nas been created, as it were, by the times iv which she lives, and in this art she has nsen. through all the gradations from obscurity to revown. She was born upon %he marein of. our great lake system in the early years of the hail ceutury. ‘This vast basiu lies iu the interior of our Conti- nent, aud the life within its confines upites the culture of the Eastern States with the evergy and force of the wold lands of the Pacific. In Miss Morris are pathered - up aud combiued ail those characteristics that mark our aud sef apart this distinctive era. She is perceptive and assimliative, sympathetle, intense, and elo- quest. Ste utters distinctly and vigorously the thouchts which we bave, all of us, held vaguely for a lifetime. She divests her charac--| Lers of custom, mauner, prejudice, and religlon, Jeaving in them only the vital essenes of their being. ‘The thourhts of this period suree pus!ienuelry in her brain, and its methods char- seterize all her enaeavors.

The Egyptian, improssed everywhere by the idea of death, built his great temples and” pyramids, and gave them, as he thought, the styie of imwmortality.

Frauce, still_strugghng for the rights of man, has a truthfulness, snd siotolicity, and sincerity which have given her the leadership in ail branches of contemoorary art. But .here in America, under the bemgu influence of an un- checked und universal liberty, aud with the re- sources and example of all nations and all times before us, we have chosen for our duminant idea the useful, the chuml, the rea’, aud wy are treating it jn that frenzied style which might be calied the electrical An the art of Miss Morris we behold the rec- ord of our iutelleciual and- material progress. She marks distinctly the direction and advance- ment of vur American aivilizauon. [u ber por- trayals of the various phuses vf human liie and psesion we perceive the dommation of the American idea. That which made the Greek art joyous, the Ttalian religious, the Germau metaonysical, has given to ner productions an intinite pathos and agony. In a word, she gives to every ides the American rendering. We look over the fuce of nature, and into the soul of man, only to mark the diflerence between the animate and the inammate creation. Surely the plaus of the Great Master ubove are in- scrutable to His eartbly children! The flowers of the fletd are woven by the wind from a web of sunshive and dew; but the flowers of art— the most precious productions of mao, those signs by which we know we are made in God’s image—they are wrougbt from thie blood of tne heart in agony and tesrs. ‘The artist who be- comes absorbed in Ins work, pouring into it all the resources of his being, keeping opothing back, he pays the uttermost pevalty. The long’ toil in vbscarity,the yearning lorrecognition and perpetual disappointment, . the thousand hopes always wilheriny like leaves before trost, the wretchea life in poverty, the dejection, the de- spaw, the bleak starvation—or, harder etill, after the first triumphs to feel the strength smkfug, the body wasting, to cndure without flinchinis the pain, thet fever, the delifium, .to near the people clumoring for more, ¥et be powerless to respoud; to d ¢ miscrably—these are some of the cquivalents which the artist gives to sociely for permission to exist.

Sbo married Mr. Robert Staples sev- cral years ago. 1u California Miss Welle wasa eroat favorite, as she also was in St. Louis, Chi- cago, Cincinpati, and the West generally. She was boruin Lincoln, England, Dee. 11, 1829, and made her debut s Hanny -Tubbs in_¢* The Occan of Life,” in the Muscum, Albany, N. Y., under the management of Mr. Meech, in1830. Five years afterward she was regularly en- gazed in Wheatly & Drew’s company in the Arch Street Theatre, Philadélphia. Tn 1856 she apoearedin Laura Keene's Olympic Theatre as Lady Deschappe.les in the ©Ludy of Lyons.” Her' areatcst character was created at this theatre—She'ah, in the *Collecn Bawn.” She was pre-eminently the best Sh¢ah. In 1862 she went to Niblo’s and remnained six years. From Niblo’s she went to Booth's L'heatre. Her ex- pericnce was varfed, but always in company with the_best in_Ler calling. She supported Burton, Booth, Kean, Jefferson, Owens, Barry Sullivan, Charlotte Cushman, Davenport, Jobn 8. Clarke, and otners. Her last engsement wraswith Shook & Palmer, in whose company shie played Fouchard iu the *Two Orphans.? Her last appcarance in New York was as Seraphina in the Union Square Theatre. Her Iast appearance on uny stage was in tlie Opera- House in Stumford, Gonn,, supporting Steele Mackaye in “ Won at Last.” A few statistics, taken from thelist of theatres destroyed by fire, contaioed fn the work of Herr Folsch, will teach us, if iustruction were needed, how Inzbly dangerous our modern stages are. Nearly every theatre in London aud YParis has been burned down in its turn, in London alone to the number of thirty-one. Duriug the last thirty years fifty-seven “fires were oflicially re- corded in London, and a great mavy fire-alarms may bave ucver come to the knowledge of the uuthoritics. Of 252 theatres, there have been burut down five before op -ning, seveaty in the first five years after opening, hirts-eieht in from SiX to ten years alter opening, forty-tive in from cleven to twenty years aiter opening, twenty- one in from twenty-one to thirsy years aiter opening, twelve fn from thiriy-one to forty years alter obening, twenty jn from forty-oue to ffty years after opening, seventecu in from fifty-oneto sixtv years arter opeaning, seven in from sixty-one to eirhty yearsaiter upen- ing, eight ia from eighty-one to 100 years alter oncning, three upwards of 100 vears after open- inee; total, 252. The above figures show that tae’ average age of those theatres de- stroyed by fire amounts to about twenty- two “and " three-fourths - years. On the av- erage about thirteen theatres are destroy- ed each year, the worst months being from Jan- uary to March, the fewest fires takiug place in July to Sentember. Most ot them have taken place in the middle of the week, the most fatal days in the montd being, straneely, the Sth, 15th, and 22d; -Fortunately, of the ‘mauy con- fazrations chronicled, only thirty-six broke out while representatious were roing on; but those have, on tbe other hand, been the most disas- trous ou record. Most -of the fires' took place 0 tho middle of tne night.—Buiider. The Tuneral of Mr. Charles Mathews took place on Saturday mornig at Keusal-zreen Cemetery, where the -remains of the veteran actor were laid to their rest in close proximity to those of the first Mrs. Cnarles Matliews (bet- ter known as Madame Vestris) and near to the spot where his mother was interred.

Wollsohn a great deal of crediti—in fact, gushes over him in 3 very remarkable manner, considering the hot weatner: The Becthoven Society also comes in.for the most unstmted praise, Which at times becomes 50 en- thusiasticas to be funny. For instauce,the corre- spondent says: [ cannot resist saying a word for this Suciety, though uecessarily \what is sald in its praise cannot but redound to Wollsobu's. If there ever were gathered together a colerie of patient, plodding, self-sacrificing musical sisters and mouxs, the solos and chorus of our Beetho- ven Sotiety contain thetn, and some 1dea of the influence and perfection of their patient, never- ceasing -study may be gained when the fact is stated that out of the 200 voices fully half that number have become superb sololsts; capable of an acceptable and pleasing rendering of the best work of the greatest composers.” [his may be 50; but, {f we have a bundred superb soloists in Chicago, why in the name of all that is musical don’t they sz sometimes? e © NEXT SEASON’S OPERA. The Dramat'c NVews says: *\We ore in receipt of information as to the Mapleson season of opera at tne Academy which 2oes to show that the London manager does, after all, seriously intend the American trip. He will open the Academy of Music bere vn Oct. 21. Siznor Arditi will be “conductor, and a full trained chorns from Her Majesty’s Opera wiil be brongnt over. ‘These are the toree facts that stick ong from a mass of stuff and nonseuse. Of the names of artists none are given as yet. We aresallowed to suppose wonderful thiugs. It is even salg that we shall have two companies of Italian opera—one in the fall and another in the spring, openioz Feb. 3, Mapleson retarning backwards aud forwards to sccure them. At ail events, he is too sensible and business-like 2 man to bring over what must surely fail. He came here dur- ing the Titiens enragement and knows just a little of what we wanot. Certain it is that, if Mapleson does brinz a good company bere, he should have the best support onr public can give him.” THE LA SCALA ORCHESTRA. The London Athenzum, speaking of the re- cent performances of the orchestra from La Scaln, of Milan, in Paris, says toat the Parisian connoissears bave been rather sbakenin their faith in the matchless orchestras of the. Conser- vatory, of the Chatclet, and ot M. Pasdcloup’s Cirque_d'Hiver, by thé performances of the Milan Scala band at the Trocadero Exhibitfon Hall. Tne prozramme of the Italian fostru- mentalists included overtures by Signor Verdi *Vepres Siciliences”) Siznor Ponchielli - (1 romessi Sposl ™) Rossini, (“Siege de Corinthe * . and uilliaume Tell”). and (Coucert Prelude in C minor). Works were also executed by Sienor Bazzini (GaFote, by Signor Catalini (**Contempluzione ” and Sherzo), and by Signor . Franco Fuccio, the conduc- tor larche Luacbre” of “Amleto”). Besides theso compositions by the Italian com- posers, the Scala orchestra’ performed Bee- tuovens’s overtures, ** Coriolanus apd . Eg- mout,” Auber’s overtare “Massanjello,” Senor Carlo Gomez's “Guarany” and Berlioz's “Carnaval Romain.” Tlic professors and amateurs were struck not only by the fiery preuision of the exccutants, bat also by tne tone of the stringed instruments. Itis stated that there were ninety strings—namely, twenty- - four firet violns, twenty second vioiins, sixteen violas, sixteen violoncellos, and fourteen doubie basses ;with three strinzs)—and that wood, brass, aud percussion instrumeits was within the customary com- plemeut in France, Germaoy, and Eangland, whercas the strings rarcly count in those countries more thau sixty to seventy players. - g MUSICAL NOTSS.

Two Southern _Defiocrntio Yiews or ¢ The Little Giant.” Zoutsyille- Courter-Journal. The unvefling of a monument to the late Stephen A. Douglas yesterday, at Chicago; re- calls the memory of that extraordinary man. It ismot so long since be quitted the staze of public action ‘but that there are thousands of people who have a distinct picture in their mind’s eye of the short, thici-set fizure, the florid, azrecabie countenance, the nefvons, earnest manner, which, whilst he lived, made him so attractive to friend and foe. They christened hun, they woo put him forward pre- maturcly as a candidate for; President, “The . Little Giant.”” 1t was in the wioter of '51°2 The o1d Demo- cratic Review had become the property of George Sanders, backed by themoney-of Arnold Harris. Sanders was a whimsical adventurer of distin- guished lineaze and curious. rasources. Harris Was a rich, clear-headed, and sagacious mau of affairs. They ot hold of a- brilliant Irishman, Devin Reilly by name, one of the 48 men, and they began the Dougfas cruside, before their hero was 40. Reilly made things red hot. He added the terms Old Foey and Young America to our political vocabulary. Cass, Buchunan, Mar and tise rest were old fogies. The Little Giunt was Young America. Under bis eagles a pro- gressive poticy was to be inauzurated and free- dom guarauteed to a down-tradden wortd, Ire. land, Itaiy, Hungary, Poland, and, in fact, all -the struggling natious, from China to Peru. The sciteme was bofd and showy,. but it could not win. After a deal of wrangling, Pierce was . nominated, aud the filibusters dispersed. Sanders was sent as Consul to London. Reilly dfed. Douglas himse!f yrew conservative. He became the main-stay ofgthe Administra- tion, which, under tie inspiration of Jeferson Davis, tucn Secietary of Wur, devised a meas- ure for the repeal of the Missouri Compromise. Away down pt the bottom of this scheme lay a plan to make a Territory west of Missouri, lost his seat, back to the Senate of the United States 1n order that he mizht® continue toe agrecable game of whist and the somewhat prosy classic discussfons which had been goini on for years between him and old Mason, of Virginia, and that particular clique of ponder- _ous respectabilities, 1t took an amount of baulinz. to drag Douglas inj but the unmited efforts of the Administrution, aud the urgency of Gen. Robert Armstrong, the owner of tho -Washington - Uuion—a man of great personal influence and popularity in those davs, and the futher-ta-law of Arnoid Harris, Dougias? chief fricnd—prevailed. Being in, the Little Giant, with Alexander H. Stephens as bis Lieutenant in the House, made a great and surcesstnl fight, layine the foundation for the War of Secesslon, and procuring bis own political ruin. The expected rewurd did not come in 1836, The Natlopal Democratic Convention nom- inated Buchanan insteed of Douglas for the Presidency: A breach soon followed the in- comg of the Administration. *I beg you to remember,” said old B:ck to Douglas in the outset of this, *‘tue fute of Talmadge and Rives.” “3ir,” said the Little Giant with naive defiance, .1 bex you to remember that Gen. Juckson is dead.” From that moment the battle raged. In 1858 Douglas hud to fight both the Republicaus and the Administration, with Lincoln lesdiog the Republicans. He carried the day, but the vie- tory was dearly bought. - The Adwinistrativn forces, nugmented by the Sccession elemeut in toe South, produced” the fatal split at Balti- more, preparing the way for a Democratic de- featand the disruption of the Union. Amia the crash Douglas went down, a disappointed, broKen-hearied man, who Lad fousht a great but unequal match, Josing all. _ He reached his home, where be died early in the sprine of 1581, flis career wasa'failure. Brief and brilliant, its mark was effaced in blood. It will live in history only as a half-told tale. A more gepial man than Donglas never iived. His capacity 1or both work and play was boand- less. An illustrative story, bearing upon this poing, is told of his seating bimself in the lap of Beverly Tucker on a certain oceasion, and ex- claiming in his impuisive way, ** Bev, old boy, I love you.” *Douglas,” savs Tucker, **will you a uays love me?’ “Yes” says Douglas, “Iwill” “But,” persisted Tucker, *will yon love me when you get to be President?” - I I. don't, ‘may I be damned!” says Douglas, *What do you want me to do for you! “Weil,” says Tucker, *when you get to be President, all I want you to do for me is to pick some public piace and put your arm aronnd my net:k’jusl as you are doing now, and call me ev. As a debater in the Senate, Douglas never had asuperior. Aiways ready, always strong in the possession ana use of facts, the chief ingredi- ents to successfal disputation, always zood- bumored and self-possessed, he was never beaten. As a stump-speaker he was copious, simple, lucid; a vein of homely bumor running through tis serious, argumentative style. His voice was commauding and melodious. His presence, notwitbstanding his stumpy figure, did not lack impressment. He held 2 crowd ex- cellently well, gauging its true inwardness with never-failing acumen and hitting it with rare tact. . In money matters he was thriftless. He had a liberal epiric and generous pature, and, thougn he made many profitable investments, be could never save, and was generally hard. pressed. Iie was not so potent = party leader as Morton, whose severity made him at times irresistible. But he was more ardeotty loved by his followers. Morton’s asceticism kept peo- ple at arm’s length. Douglas had nothing re- pellaut sbout mm. Io mis affections he was always a child. He was but48 when e died; but quite worn out. During twenty-five years there bad been no balt or rest. It was go, go, go, all the tiune with b, nigheand day, yearin ‘and year out. He was so weak and vervous when heleft Washington, though no one suspected his real coniition, that the slightest touch made him ey, He bas been in his grave now = little more than sevenieen years. Yet it scems an age since his name thundered through the land, the shiboleth of party wartare. be htcle group of {riends who surrounded bim are dead and gone.

Wigull, Green, or-Mis- souri, Briztht, Mason, and Slidell are dead. At Cbarleston in 1860 Dunglas would have been satistied with the plattorm, and 2 compro- _mise candidate in James Guthrie. It was-the fear of this that put Breckioridge into the fight on the part of the disunivnists, who meaat to be content with notbins which would not secare them a pretext for the secession on which- they liad reselved. Breckinridge saw it ana dreaded it; but he could not escape his political a3socia- iions. From tnelirst he perfectly understood that e was being sacriticed. fHe cume in time to bate Douglas, whom be pad formerly liked,” and the ¢strangement wos never made up. After the Presidential election, the two did not speak. Douglas complained to theygnd of Breckinridze's refusal to recognize bim. ~ Breck- inridge declined explanations, and always r fused to talk about the matter.

The unveiling of the Douglas monument at Chicago recalls a man whow the present genera- tion of young men are jnclined to forget because they koow so little about him. Douglas aied seventeen years ago, in the very matarity of marvelous powers and vigor, and at the very be- ginoing of a couvalsion which be, more than any otber livinz man, could bave treated. In the angry Territorial and Slavery amtstions which resulted at last in that great couvulsion, he was a conspicuous and recognized power. The last series of slavery aitations grew out of the scquisition of Mexican territory. and beian in 1849, tea years after Mr. Douglas’ entrance into the Senate. The trouble was -thought to have been-ccmposed by the passaze of Mr. Clay’s compromise ' measures in, 1850, in the. advocacy of wuich Mr. Douglas exhivited the creat: ability and the pational character which were ~recognized from that time to tlie day of his deati. But the quarrel broke out more flercely and iotolerantly than ever four years later, when thejterritorics of Kansas and Nebraskademanded adinission to the Upion as States.3Mr. Douglasiwas Chairman of the Sen- ate Committee on Territories,and the Kanzas- Nebraska bill repealing the Missouri comoro- mise settlement of 1520 and opening ‘the new State to slavery if the peoplethereof desired it, ‘was his work. -1t is easy enongh to'condemn swhich would send old David Atchison, who had - t that Mr. at Mr. Doy s before the pegp, hoeey blé canvass nrn:tf::éfg‘”““f- Abraham Lincoln, 1 1S the tw dates for Douglas® sea:ai?:u'thz :!e:anl‘ebfl:zn ; to become vacant, lie carrled the legislapa 00t ; was easlly re-elected, and that ngomrir® Be Lhe accedted-and almost laolfzes i 08t the Northwest o the day of hisdasth, puallohots Droves that Ik was 1oL condemped pr s itHl] sentiment in the West in that day, \(,.WS‘.,"""L las bud the - misfortune fo te hor O of the associated governing leaders o'(m" OWR party, [or any oue of whom fy o than a wafch, bat ull of whom conp st determined o war be could nog control. .
