A CUR CHRISTENED RISMARCK, eDr. Tusch relates the following {ncident, xbich £hows how contemptible and unmanly Freach warriora could be in veutlng thelr impo~ tent ragce upon Bismarck: During the first part of the cnmpaign some French culrossiers 1o Ciermont_cclebrated thelr anticlpated victory over the Gertnans by dressine up a great cur §n s woman's clothes, cnlling hin Bismarck, pinch- me his tail, and then, when he barked and wbinl, calllog_out, *‘Ihat's Dismacckls Jan- twee’ The cuirassiers danced with the dog, sad then Jed him In festive procession through the place, amid roars of laughter and shouts of syplause.

S MOTHER AND BON.» It 1s told of Mr. Boucicault that while looking at the first production of one of his dramas, nnd listening calmly to the applause which the firat act evoked, a triend came up and congratulated him upon the great succcss he had made, “You are quite mistaken, my friend.” sald the playwright; *‘thls Is golug to be a signal failure. Do you know why! The first act {s altogether too good. I've mado n great mistake.” And he was quite right: the plece fell flat, There I8, perhaps, somne uscful sug- =estlon fo this, and the desia now being repre- eented at Haverly's Theatre (s an apt illustra- tion of the method cmployed by the most successful of our contemporary dramatic writers. The preluda I8 unpretentious; these parlor coufabs are . commonplace; one grows weary of them until .le begins to pereeive something fn them that forebodes & mystery, an intricate web that fs belog woven around the favorite personng and then some astounding clarh. The last three acts of this play derive much of thelr effective- nens from the audden awskening out of tere hum-drum _ drawing-room gossip, and the petty futrlzues of .petty people, into living concerns of tha heart that arouse deep human sympathies. There is the clement of surprisc in the gradual unfolding of the atory. We wade through scveral chapters of dissertntion and gossip, and are suddenly confronted with o fine dramatic sccue, All this 13 arifully dono by the dramatist, and skill- fully expressed by his interpreters. 3Much depends upon the rending of such a play, and n the case of * Mother and 8on," as rendered by the Unfon Bquare Company, there s very fittle to fioa {fault with. i 1o speaking of such a well-bslanced company 1t might bo well, perhapes, to note shinply the general effect. Wo cannot omit to speelfy, Lowever, a few of the individual excellences cx- lifbited by the principal actors jo this interest- fng play. nd omong the first to be remombered and the Iast to ba forgotten fs the actioz of Mrs. Marle Wilklos,—not that she occupies the most consoicuous place In tho cast, but becauso she plavs It with an‘ unctuousn: a thorough {dentifcation of bersclf with the character, that is morc complpte and satis- factory than anv of tho others, and also becauss b the most smusing creation in tho Bhie portrags the vulgar village-gor 0 has a past, history—with b amazing fldelty, presonting a type ot character famlllar and odlous, with a true sensc of {ts hu- mor, Her scene with the Counglilor about the lewacy, where she begins to \lnc?nlflnu'lymvml the multitude of her old loversyls o fine exam- wee whioh lkas . never been etter exemplifled than fn this character, Mr. Georye Clarke, being the heroof the story, naturally claims particular ‘attenton. His acting a8 Fabricels, on the whole, s noble, manly delineation, By his eany, zentlemanly bearing in tho carlier scenes he readily Ineratlates him- self into the aflections of the' svectator, ana he rises into ths impassioned Intensity of the subscquent ncta apparently with- out etfort, and certalnly with immediate effcct. It is & delineation full of gonuine human Intercst, and, finced with fine touches of bistrionic art. Many here would have lked to sce Thorne in this character, but wecan hurdl( regret his absence with such a talénted substitute o view, The feminine charnctera in the play have been admirably distrivuted in the presenicast. Miss Yauny Morant, Miss Linda Dictz, and Miss* fda Vernon are, each worthy of 8l the houors showercd wupon “thewn nightly by the audienc Miss Morant vresents o noble, dignitied picture of the Harvn- e, Sheis n queenly woman, whosa oresence commands respeet, and her portrayal of the proud lady, whose heart revolts at the sup- posed dishonor done to another, {nspires nd- miration and sympathy. Tho character of the awmbitious, Intrfzulng woman of soclety, the wile of the Mayor, fs admlrably luterpreted by Miss Ida Vernon, who in this, as {n most parts allot- ted to hery aliows the finish and discretion of an Mirs Linda Dictz ls given the role of Mar- celle, which 18 ous of tho stroneest In the drama, and her linpersonstion throughout s truly excellent, taking bold asit dors of tho d t symupathics of the oudience, Miss Dietz plays .Marcels with a subdued pathos and a power of emottonal expresslun that vus would hardly have auticipated from that pale, quiet face, © Her acting makes one of the most strik- fuie triumphs in the piece, Miss Varlan makes u very protty bride, and, In the only sccoo whera she finds u reol opportunlty for activg, shows hersetl to be fully equal to the occasfon, Of the remainivg parts in this drama It Is not neceasary to say much, except that they aro general ell represcuted. There is the jovial old uncle Zirochat by Mr. Bradshaw, wio does it weil, nltbough iu'{s certululy susceptible of better treatment ; the foolish, henoecked Muyor, who furnishies sone of the cuniedy; the young plutoule lover, and the youug wite whose hua- band never appears; nud the gentloman who s deseribed fo the vrogramnie as belng “dead brake,”—all these. nre,relvmcnlml with sufllclent care to make & symumeirical performance of w highly futerestiog drama.
