THE 'CHlCAGOv.TRIBUNE: SUNDAY, DECEMBER 1, 18378—SIXTEEN PAGES 10 in proportion to the labor performed. There is Teast pay whero there ls wmost work, and vic versa. “Ye seck me not because yesaw the miracles which I did, but_becausc ye did eat of 1he laaves and were filted.” Tue many fricnds of the Rev. John Gordon, of Montreal (former pastor of the Western Av. cnue Baptist Ghurch), will be pleased to learn that he is on aYisit to this city, and will preach this morning ot the Fifst Baptist Church, and in the evening at the Taberpacie Church, corner of Indicna and Morgan sireets. The Rev. William Parry, of Worcester, Mass., comes out of an investization badly damaged in renntation. One witness testified “that ihe rev- erend gentleman was for several days on a frolic ju Bristol, R. 1., where he slept in s bar-room, putting a bottle full of whisky under his head before he went to sleep ona bencb, and taking it oul emnpty in the morning. He dia not pay bis liguor bill unti threatened with exposure. Joachim IIL., Archbishop of Coustantinople and Ecumenical Patriarch, the acw head of the orthodox Greek Cliurch, was formeriy Metro- politan of Salosica. Me is a man of 45, a aradnate of Strusburg, and of marked liveral tendencies, and his leanings are not in favor of the Russians, who sre therefore’ not over well pleased with his election. The Sultan did not éxervise his right of rejecting any of the candi- dates. Bishop Perry recently held a special ordina- tion in the Cathedral at Davenport, at which he ordained ‘o the priesthood the Rev. C. Comp- ton Burnett, a_graduate of. New . College, St. Jobw's Wood, London, and for a number of years an “Independent™ or Congregationalist winister in Eugland and America. The Rey. Air. Burnett's diaconate has been spent in Fairfield, Ja. 11e has been ealled to a parish in the Diocese of Sonthern Obio. The Rev. K. Meredith, late of Temple Street M. Churel, was ivstalled pastor of the Plllips Cburch, South Boston. Nov. 13. Sermon by the Kev: J. L. Withrow, D. D.: fn- staliing praver by the Tev. Richard Meredith, of East Hartford, bivther of the candidate; other parts by the Revs. E. A. Rand, Renen Thomas, 8. E.derrick, cod W. B. Wricht. The reason Mr. Meredith gave for his change of denomiun- tional refstions was the constant change-from plsce to_place in the Methodist ministry. His doctrinal views were mainly in accord with Con- gregationalisan HUMOROUS PIETY. When - the contribution-box comes round, if you dou’t give & cent you should nod, and nod- ding is assent. It is stated that since Col. Tngersoll began to purchase idols, heathen gods, and cognate fauna, the pricé of basswood Indians for to- bacco sigus has gone up 25 per cent. “Where shall we find rest” asks a religions weekly. My dear sir, the very best place to find rest aud plenty of it is to become clerk in a dry-goods store that dow’t advertise.—Jhilade’- k@ Eronikle-Heraid. Whot was the matter with Jonah that_ the whale conldw’s direst him?—Inguirer. It is probable that he was homesick, as nothing will make one more uuappreciative of hospitality thun that.— Yonkers Gazetle. A young man with a terrific cold in his head, sitting by the side of his best wir] in a crowded chureh, never fully reaiizes the awful responsi- Dilities of lifc until he strugples with all the force of bis eutire befng to keep back an insid- ious suecze. A little boy fna Sunday-school put a poser to his teacber. ' The lady was telling her class how God punished the Egzyptians by causing the first-born of cach houséhoid to be slein.. The lirtle boy listened attentfvelv. At the proper {nterval he mildly inquire What would God have done if there bud been twins?? Neal Dow, the great temperance reformer of Maize, had a nerrow ezcape the otber day. For o whole generation he has been reearded as a cousistent, tectofaller. But a tramp solemnly gwore that he and Neal Dow stood at the same counter and imbibed brandy asd water. Things lookea a little serious for a while, and the temn- perance folk in that far-of rewion felt that even he greatest of us wiil once in a while havea fell.” The ramu. however, on tha cross-exami- nation explamed thet be drank the branay and Neal Dow the water, and the whole State of Naiae breathed freely once more. Judge Alexunder Rives, of Virginia, when a young man. sa% a zood old preacler riding down the Monticello road (then a sinzle track). A boy, with a crose-cut st Iving cross-ways on bis Lorse, was alse coming down the same nar- row road. rome distance in rear of tfie preacher, The boy's hiorse ran away, and as he was ap- proaching the pious diviae. the latter sprang from his horse and scrambled up a precipice. Whereapon the Judge cxclaimed: * Bless my life, Mr. —, you bhave told me that you were ready, willing, and anxious to die; why then struggle so to et o1t of the wi horse and saw?” ¢ Well, Mr. Rives, ] ihe good n replicd, ““1am anxious to die, but do not wish to be sawed to death.” Tt.is hard to divest one’s self of early influ- eaves. Here is a case in toint: William Somers Lowry, a whilom actor of Cincinnati, is now a clergymau, and he was recentlv met by an old theatrical chum, who, noticine the clerical cut of his ancient friend’s zarments, saluted him ith, +* Hetlo, Bit! what's up? You bavew't Jjoincd the church, have you?” “Yes,” was ke response; 1 nolonger welk in the ways of tbe wicked, but now pursue the paths of peace.” “ Really got religion?” ced 1 have, ™ was the answer. ie real old thing 27 ¢ Tnereal thing,” responded Mr. Lowry. “ Then 1hope vou'll stick to it ssid the friena. “ Well, you can bet your sweet life I will, cockey ! replied the néw-made clergyman, un- thinkingly relapsing into his oid-time forms'of speech. The disiay of the poor man can bet- 1cr be fnagined than described. CHURCIH SERVICES. TRESBYTERIAN. The Rev. J. H.

Some people grumble at it. and some get mad at their Creator for having shoved them into it, but the majorisy accept it as on the whole an excecd- ingly pleasant kind of an entertalnment.

The *rabble” Is never to be despiscd, so long as it has cents and quarters in its pocket, and then the Few are geaerally led in to see what the rabble wonders at. laughs at, or weeps at. A review’of the past week of theatrical amusements fn Chicago would amount to little more than a mere reiteration of cvents that have been noted already, and with which every- body who cares to know has been made ac- quainted with through the efforts of the great bill-writers of the Northwest.

New Youx, Nov. 27.—Have you ever run against the chronic first-nighter? 1 have. He was out in great force at thie Park Theatre on Monday eveninz. Robsou aud Crane made their first avpearance here in *‘The Comedy of Errors * upon that occasfon,—or, as a learned Sunday paper puts it, * their new comedy of ‘Errors.’ ¥ Did you ever hear of such a mona- mental ass as the one who put that on paper? A man must be a genius who could make such a blunder as that. Avybudy conld have distorted Shakspeare’s title in almost any other way, but it requires more thau ordicary talent to call it * their new comedy of ¢ Errors.’ But to gret back to the two Dromios and their first-nighters. Of ccurse the other two theatres where novelties were produced had some of * the mang,” but Robson and Crane had.the pick of the crowd. The chronic ones went to sce them. And they were chronie,—the first- nighters, not the players. The man was on hand who sits in the frout row where all the actors can see hiw, andrazes at the pliy with an ex- pression which is as immovablo as that worn by the Cardiff gixnt, There is nothing so fuspirlag, a3, to 2 L.kt Kt orQ to K d with care 1 think Black shouid win. 1see no nse n administering whipped crenm to Iadics nioro than to geutiomen In st matter of prajea, “Tuking this game on {ts own merits, T consider L much ahove "tlie_average of those which come under my notice.— IFestminster Pupers. ik **INTER NOS.” Could we have known—ie whosc lives are buricd Beneatn the ehadows of enduring wo— Would we have lived regardless of the teachings Of lips whose.wisdom all too Iate we know?

Beacansflleld’s Latest Mt at Gladstono, g Zondon Torid, - Here is the latest mot attributed to the Premier: Hearing that Mr. Gladstone was staying at Wrest Park, the scat of Lady Cow- per, he said: I suppose lic thinks that I—the wicked—will vense from troubling now that ho— the weary—Is at rest.”? » sosweetly joyous,to an actor as toseeabout twen- iy people staring at bim as if they were reading an {nscription upon the door of arcceiving vault. It makes him feel sure that he is appreciated. Then there was the man who comes stumbling down the centre aisle making more noise than o steam lathe just after the curtain bas been up three minutes and a quarter on each act. There was also the chap who repeats all the best ‘‘lines” right after they are eaid on the stage, 50 us to besure that his companions, and, in fact, everybody for fifty feet arouund, ehan’s miss them. Besides theso there was THE FELLOW WHO ATPLAUDS, solitary and’ vociferous, all the specches and situatfons which arc not applauded by anybody clse. This is the first-nighter whom everybody is glad to have occupy a seat near by. When he roars with laughter at somcthing supernatural- 1y solemn, or hammers a hole throuzh the floor with the hitebing-post he carrics for a cane, at some line that is conspieuously commonplace, it makes you feel so comfortadle and bappy to have everybody in the theatre look in your di- | rection and wonder if it was you! 0, they were all there! And before the cur- tain was fairly down on the first act'wvery mother’s gon of thein was on his way to the gin- milt next door, to rake to play over the coals. ‘They are.s nice crowd, these chronic first- nighters. They browbeat the management into miving them deadbead secats, and then they blackeuard the play, the actors, -the managers, and the theatre. On the particular night in auestion, in the aforesaid gin-mill, this was what heard: rirst party—* Well, 1 may stay throueh an- other act (sawning).

In the first vlace, there wasn’t any burlesque about it Mr. Cranc’s performange was entirely Jeeltimate in every way. And s to Mr. Rob- son’s “squeak,” tiiat had been toned down as much as a pecullarity of that kind can be toned down. nd yet these consummate white-neck- , \who don’t kuow a Shnkspearean com- edy when they sce it, sail into a first-rate per- formance as if_ they owned the theatre and paid the salaries. It's Sickening | But besides the first-nighters there was an immense crowd of neovle out to welcome the favorite comediavs. The Park hasn’t seen such 4 rush for many a dav. Boxes, seats, and stand- ing-room were all filled, and whken the twin {romios came on, cach was recelved with a burst of appluause which ought to have made hit= feel as happy as that proverbinl clam at iz The production of Shakspeare’s only comedy wos an event In the dramétle season, and v called out nzood mauy rather wmore pruminent people than one usually sees at the theatre in one evening. 1 noticed” among the audience ex-Gov.

Amony the Jadies Miss Monk and Miss Robson were most cflective. BUT THE PRINCIPAL INTEREST, of course, centered Iu the two comedians. They were dressed aliice, made up atike, and spoke alike. Crane imitated Robson’s ceventriclty ol squenk aud action very cleverly, and it was rath- er a difliculs matter to distinzuish them, one from the other. They had worked upou their faces for along time with all the applinnees known to actors, and after that Mr. Rhineburt, ¢ famous_ portrait-pafnter, stepped in and fine ished the job. It was a success, and mnde lots of fun for the audfence. Before the first night, eople had a vague sort of tdea—~though [ don’t E‘uuw where they got jt—that Robson and Crane were golng to I)m'les?uc Shakspeare's comedy. Just think of that! [magine n burlesque wpan a burlesque, 1f you can, and then you will htt pretty close to what the performance wouid have been. For ** A Comedy of Errors ”* comes a8 near beinz 8 mazniflcent burlesque s it ts nossible to come and not get there. The two comedinns have it the spirit of it exactly, and they will make heaps of coin outol it before the season is over. When 1asked Robson, yesterday, whatever pit him up to this selection, he responaed, with a zood deal of feeling: * Well, we've shown the people what we can do with modern comedy, aud now we intend to show them what there is in the ancient. Tho fact is, we have alwass im agined that we were alittle better than mere fun-nakers, to be lanzhed at merely because we were funny, without resward to onrarl. Be- sides that, we wanted to popularize lezitimate comedy. We wanted to give it a show, afier the siege of flimsy trash to” which the stave has 50 long been subjected. We have dooe it, and %o far it has been a success. Whether it will Iast or not, depeuds entirely unvn the public, of course. But it looks well at present.” And {t docs. 1F THE DILL I3 CHANGED during the mouth of their engagement, it will be beeause there fs a viz call to see *“ Our Bach- clors," which i still a strong uttraction, and not because the people don't lke the Dromios. ‘The saine night “ Yulic ™ was brouztit out by the Williamsous at the Grand Opern House. 1t was in five acts, each one of which made a sepa- rate hit with the West-Siders. But the West- Siders are not dilicult to please. Let the cur- tain fail every time to slow music_and red fire, and it is nll they want. They afe like the man who lived on rancid ham so long that whea he came 1o cat auything respectable his stomach wouldn’t stand it. They want tire and slow musie, and thev're zolng to have 1t or nothing. The first act of * Yulie” is laid with geoeraph- ical aveur: g in Youngstown, O. Tke onginal idea was, I believe, to onen the drama upon the S. W. quarter of Sce. 411, eizhtand o quarter miles, twenty-eight feet, and three inches north- cast by nort of ' Kalamazoo. But Youngstown was substituted. illiamson is married and luves his wife, who. however, is thick with an- other chap. Williamson and a friend are look- ing througn his (Willinmson's) drug store in Younestown, O., when an infant scion of the Williamson famlly is brought in. Here the other chap, who loves Mr. Willinmson's ivife, appears and secretes 2 note to Mrs. W. in the cIDth ing of the infant. Then the other chapleaves, no doubt thinking ne ougnt to dust. after doing such a brilliant thing as that. The note, of course, falls out, and’ the husband orders his wife to read it aloud. She declines, and there isa row. Mr: Willinmeon is about to bouncoe Mrs. W. from the house, when the other chap appears and hoots him. CURTAIN, SLOW MUSIC, AND FIRE. The next act, with astounding vugueness, is loid simply “in a_mining-camp in~ Nevady,”? Years bave elapsed. The other chap has Mr. Williamson’s wife and child, and Mr. Williain- son is hunting for them. The other chap 1o ree- ognized, bt escapes aain, to music and fire. In the third act, Mr. Willinmson discovers his child through the azency of a lotket which con- tains the viciurc of his runaway wite. , The suid wile attempts to claim ler child, and’ the cur- tain follows with its wusual accompaniments. In the Jast act, the wife and the other chap try to abduct the daughier. A row follows, fi which the other chap is slain. That settles it, and everybody is happy. The plot is a little thin, but the scenes are frequently good. Magrle Moore plags tho dnughter with vivacity and songs, both of which are very taking with the audience. Mr. Will- {amson has good opportunities to introduce his best licks in the way of comedy and patho: On the whole, the picce I3 likely to be suc Tul. But I have an Idea that thie suscesa is duc 8 zood deal more to the acting than the author's work. This busincss of writing dramnas to fit the capabilities of stars, at so much a square foot, isn’t often atriumph of art. Mr. Marsden does it as well as anybody, but even he ean’t al- ways squeeze out a “ Hamlet ” to order. “Thie third novelty of Monday night was Marle Gordon’s *Lase o’ Lowric’s,” at Booth's The- atre.

It is siznificant certainly of very vital changes I the general rigidity ani interpretation of social ethics here in Puritan Boston that theatrical representations, both amateur and professionat, are by far the most popular entertainments with the majority of peovle. The scason of amateur draniatic clubs is one of the reatest proofs of this tendency. or, touse a stronger and truer word, this enthusiasin for the mimic staze, In Boston proper there are—1 should not dare to guess how many of these clubs; and every out- Iying town owns one or more of them.

Every- where there is this itching for the play, and I'll venture to say that at the present time there areno people so somsht after ns actors and actresses, not only in society in Boston, but in the various parts of New England. Of course, 1mean by this the hizh and shining lights of the profession, the stars of the first maguitude, like Modjeska. i always think of George Car- tis’ remark about ‘Tupper of the old, vid days,— **HOW WE DID GO IT,” —when I recall the furore over Modjeska. For hot the Boston youth did o it, especially the youth femivine, over Modjeska. For the last week Boston's little neighbor Providence has been taken by storm and: through the storm, literally, by Miss Genevieve Ward, who catne, and suw, and_conquered the Khode Islanders most thoronghly, not only by her representa- tions, but by her social graces. Kettle-drums, tea-partles, and an endless succession of enlls {from youth, and maid, and matron between the charmed hours of rehearsal and performance, must have pretty well taken up Miss- Ward’s time, while it showed bher tht state of the general publicmind. Like Modjeska, MIBS WARD BECAME TiIE PASIION. The reason is two-fold: the lady is a finished actress, and a woman of winnine and impressive presence. Janausciek was n great actress, but she lacked the twwo-fold attraction. Miss Ward’s impersonations in_Providence were Queen Kath- erine and Jane Shore. It has been snid that Bligs Ward is the only actress that has cver beeii. b able to take the port of Queen Katherine without provoking adverse eriticism by contrast to Charlotte Cushman. Whatever Charlotte Cushman’s power of preseace and speech in the best of her days, there is onc_thing self-evident,. —she was neyer a beautifnl or an clegant woman..
