[The editor of the Temperance puper callea the Citizens’ League has been quietly investigat- ing Dr. D’Unger’s remedy for the alcobolic ap- petite, and pudhishes the following article in his last issue concerning it:] Citizens' League, Feb. 8. DR. D'UNGEI'S CURE FOR DRUNKENNESS, The League refrained from expressing an opin- jon vpon Dr. D’Unger's remedy during the violent attacks that were made upon himw. A great deal of passion uud prejudice were manl- Iested by the persous opposing the Doctor, and, Bow that there is a pause, the League may prop- erly declare its views on the subject. 1f Cinchona Rubra possesses the power to cure drunkenness, it is an inestimable boon, and the discoverer is entitled to the gratitude of every lover of the race. i 1 nennere wictum of those who are prejudiced will not settle the guestion whether Cinchona Rubra will or will not cure drunkenness. There 3s too much involved in this matier to permit its beiue passed over without close investira- tion. “fhie League has no intercst in bolstering Dr. D*Unger; but it bas 3 deevand abiding interest in whatever will cure a man’s appetite for alcobiol. This is theyaestion-the League desires 10 bave ‘understood; and it _is a question_in which hamanity is very deeply interested. Be- lievine that the Leagué'is serving th:¢ cause of humanitv by doing 80, a few facts are riven in reference to this wonderful remedial agent. Wiat s Cinchona? ‘The highest medical authonties state thatitis the best of tonies; thatitis a safe cumulative medicine, and the only reliable anti-periodic. ‘The cumulative quality means that it ereaces no demund; that, Wuliké opmm, it dovs not feed upon itself. Alcohol, like opiuny, is not cumulative; it ere- ates constant und increasing demnd. Cinzhona cannot be a substiture, veither does it create a Joathing for liquor, but restores the system to its normal coudition. In tisclast and best edition (1576) of the United States Disucusatoryy it is stated that Cinchona is entitled to u place among the tonics, and is ranked at the head of this class of medicines; but, besides the mere cxcitation of the ordmary functionsot health, 1t proJucesother effects upon the system which must be considered peculiar and independent of its mere tonic operations. The power by which, when administered in the jntervals between the paroxysms of disorders, it interrupls the progress of a disease, is some- thing more thau what is usually understood by the tonic property; for no other substance be- longing to the class, however powerfal or per- manent may be the excitement which it pro- duces, exercises a control at all comparableto Cinchona. As it is probable that, in the inter- vals of an iotermittent complaint, a train of morbid_actions is goicg on, out Of our sizht, within the recesses of the nervous system, £0 it is also probabie that the bark produces in the same system anaction equally mysterious, which supersedes that of tie malady, and thus accom- plishes the restoration of the patiznt It hus been generally supposed by physiclans that the aikaloids found in Cinchona contain all its active principles, but it is not absolutely cer- tain that they alone are the only sctive Iogre- dients; but even supposing them to be so, it is equally urcertain whether they may uot. be somewbe. mudified in their proverties even by therapeatically ivert principles with which they are assucinted. In fact, there is the hizhest an- thority for saying that the full powers of the baric have been repeatedly koowa to cure inter- mittents when the alkaloids failed. ‘The varities of the Cincliona tree are num- bered by the hundreds (see ** Britannica,” article <« Cinchona), over_eizhiy of them being spoken of in the *American Dispensatory,” besides an innumerable nnmber of false and spurious barks which the *Dispensatory ™ says heve at various times been introduced into the market 2nd sold 2s closely resembling or identical with the febri- fuee of Pern, which experience has proved to afler from it materially, both in_chemical com- position and medicinal virtues. Thesebarks are Kknowu as pale, yellow, aud red. “T'he bark used by Dr. D'Unwer isa species of the pale-red spoken of by Ur. Percira in his @ _fateria Medica,” published jn 1853, as the originat or 0ld Loxa Crown bark. Dr. P.de- seribes this bark, and sags it derives its name from the circumstance that particles of it were found ou board a captured Spanish vessel re- turning from South America, put up with pecul- jar care, and marked as for the Royal® family. Tt was in slender quills, thirteen inches long, tied up in bundles about three inches in diame- ter. Similar bundles were afterwardsimported, and still occasionally come in seroons of commer- cial Crown bark. This bark is believed to have been acrived from Cinchona_Coudaminea, vari- ety vera of Weddel; but, us the tree is nearty az- [hausted, little is obtained from it at present, and what is commonly catled Loxa or Crown bark is deraved from other varieties of Cinchona Con- daminea, uor other species. Dr. 1’Unger’s remedy is manufactured from these peculiar quills, which be selects from the bark as imported; and that it accomplishes the work claimed by him is clear fromn the numerous cases testified to. The written proofs are in bis possession. ‘A number of those who declare that they are cured are residents of the city, mauy of them in hishrepute as business men, aud who shrini from- publishinz the fact that they have been slaves to stroug drink. A remarkable fact may be stated: A preat many have been treated by Ur. D'Unger, yct no case of failure to cure has come to light. ~Sure- Iy, 1f the Doctor is a pretender, if his medicine is not a remedy, how is it thatnot one of the vast number he has treated bas made com- plaint? Dr. D'Unger is caring patients at reasonable rates; this fact can be at once established. The slunders circulated as to his standing have been borpe quictly and_ with digmity, and are now fully refuted oy written evidence from some of the best citizens of Maryland and Minnesots, the particulars covering 2 period of nesrly the Doctor’s whole life. Only seven out of 700 phy- siians of Chicazo have ventured to contradict e cflicacy of his remedy, while many of those in the front rank of the “profession heartily in- dorse it. In the intcrest of the drinking men and wom- en of the land, the League desires thut this rem- edy be thoroughly tested. If iv continues the blessed work ot curing drankards, let its mis- sion not be staved. Suifering bumaniy demands that the intellizence of its power should be de- ctared to tlhe wor!d, and all mankind made eog- nizaut of its great value. —~—— ON THE. THRESHOLD.

Miniad LEATRICE DEAXE. A Giant Baby. Correspondence Clereland Leader. SEVILLE, O., Feb. 3—A few weeks awo the wife of Capt. M. V. Bates, the famous Kean- tucky eiant, who liveson a farm sbout nalfa mile east of this town, gave birth to a cbild, the second since ber union of martiage witt her busband, and in both instances the child was stili-bora. It is to be greatly re- gretted by all that life should have beea extinct from this child-body, which is notning less than & wonderful prodigy of nature for its remark- able size. - 1t the child shoula have lived and 2rown up to waturity, we would bave beheld a being beside which we would be pothine but mere dwarfs. The child, fully developed in every festure on the duy of its birth, measured thirty inches, a lengih which mony children of nornai growth have not attsioed after iwo or three years of age;.it weighed twenty-iwo pounds; its chest ineasure. was sixteen inches, and its feet six inches loug. To the sorrow of all, and more particularly its pareots, the chitd- came into the world dead, and peverfsaw the Jight of day. A s THE STAGE. THE DRAMNA. CHICAGO. TIHE CRITERION COMEDY COMPANY has grown steadily, though by slow degrees, into popular favor during their short engage- ment at Hooley’s, and their success has been legitimately earned, Had they chosen to bring out *Whims » at the start instead of *Caste™ it is more than likely that the fivancial results of the week would have been more satisfactory. We should judge so, at Jeast, from the immedi- ate recognition which this new farcical comedy met with from the audience on Fridey evening as a plece of bright, spicy, and innocent fun. It certainly answered the purpose for which it was iotended, keeping the house in roars of laughter, and at the same time bringing into play some of the best char- acteristics of the actors. ** Whims™ is an adaptation of a German comeldj;andsmay be classed among the picces which for some time past have tickled the public ear with their proad and boisterous humor. It is worthy of remark, parenthetically, that. most of the re- cent stage literature of this order is derived from philosophicul Germany, & nation that is not popularly credited with a lively apprecia- tion of humor, while the volatile French are supplying the tearful material. *Our Bache- Jors” and a host of farces of the same sort have all a German origin. The present piece was translated esome time since by a Chicago playwrizht, and was submitted to Robson and Crane, but they were not sufli- ciently impressed with its merit to venture on taking it into their repertory. Unguestionably two of the roles would bave been weil adapted to their peculiarities. Perhaps it is ou the whole better placed with the Criterions, for it con- taius oot two “star parts ”? only, but a number of effective comedy parts, which, -distributed throughout a well-orzanized combination make’ up & very complete und divertingentertainment. Like munyof the comic tritles of its kind, “Whims ? is almost devoid ot plot. It is a palpable joke—palpable from the first to the spectator, and kept up with consid- erable iogenuity to the close. The fun consists im a kind of a game of cross purposes brought about by an innocent deception on the part of a young artist who is in love with the daughter of a wealthy bauker, who is devoted to the emancipation of woman. She concei! an aflinity with Dr. Slaughter, & man stricken with vanity and de- voted to the fair sex in general, and sends him anote. The Doctor wishes to pay bis devotions ncor., and prevails upon the youne artist to change names with them, and he in torn gives the name of Slaughier to another young man who is engaged to the niece of the banker. Out of this, it is easy to sce, ariscs a bewildering series of complications, which grow more and more perplexing until the final explana- tion is made. It is nmot needful to re- hearse such a story as this, hich gmounts really to nothing more than an amus- ing practical joke. Itis more to the point to note the mauner in which the matter has been handled, first by the adapter, and, what is more jmportant, by the performers. There is good room for improvement in the treatment of gome of the situations, whnich oceasionally in- volve an anti-climax, but the faults perceptiole here are such as may easily be remedied, und it should be remembered that this was the first rehearsal of the vicee. In the cast there are four distinct characterizations, each of thew susceptible of artistic treatment. Ur. K- man Slaughter is & type of the Ilady- Liller, wnose sole ~ovcupation seems to be that of looktng out for conquests, while pis partuer, Dr. Sadeye, is afllicted With 4 par ular terror of, ana aversion to, women. The banker’s sister. Sophroiia, who has written a tragedy, Is, in common 'with all_the other women, nlove with the imaginarv Dr. Slaugh- ter, and she mistakies Sadeye for him, insists on readiug her play ro him, and puts the unhappv man into many disiressing predicaments. These scenes afford Miss Lonise Sylvester an excellent opportunity for doing the “serio-comic tragedy queen as Sophronia Soros's, and ker acting was oneof the most emphatic bits of the b formance. It is o kind appears to _ suit - her happily than that of the rollic which~ was ecrtainly not in her vein. per’s personation of Staughter was marxed by a pompous drollery that became at timés irresist- Ibly funny, and Mr. Mackay’s make-up as Sau- eye was excellent, while his' portrayal of tire terror he was thrown in by the approach of the tragic Sophronia_constituted some of the most diverting portions of the olay. The dia- logue is bright and witty occasionally, and never dull, and the situations, while alw bordering on pure buriesque, do not go very far beyond the line supposcd to be drawa between comedy and travesty. MISS ADA CAVENDISK has achieved a most flatiering success at Me- Vicker's, and one which wis hardly to be autici- peted, considering thut she opened in a play which was a comparative failure both in London and in New York. Mr. Wills rewrote *Jane Shore™ expressly for Miss Cavendisb, but it was only after carnest solicitation on the part of her fricnds that she was persuaded to play the part. Sie has no reason to resret having done so, tor while it is bighiy improbable thut this rescasei- tated foseil will ever reenin & permanent place on the modera stage, it has served to bring juto prominence in Miss Cavendisb’s acting some of her noblest traits as a tragic actress. "The por- trait she draws of. this wayward and sinful, but sufferiug und venitent, soul is full of pathos, i what we are accustomed tocall ** emotional power.” It is a fair test of the command the artist has over her audience that she compels their undivided attention from the beglnning to the close of a rather prosy and dismal play. It a zood sample of what innate power she pos- sesses, and sugeests still greaver achievements. AT THE METORFOLITAN exceptionally good business has attended the engagement of Miss Lina Tettenborn. Coming as she did, almost unknown, this lively young German soubrette proved at once that she wus an artist. Trusting but little to stage routine, ehe carried them by impulse. A genuine cbild of nature, her absolute abandon Jeaves bardiy time for & thought of criticism. ~ Playing in an utterly nonsensical piece, siie manages to secure constant attention and applause, while her songs, albeit her vocal powers are not extra- ordivary, have been heartily encorca. Her dinlect is crisp, vleasing, and thoroueiy natural. Altozether her success in Chicago las beena pronounced oue, and may be the beginning of a bright carcer. LOCAL NOTES.

His eozagement comes t0 8 close Saturday evening of this week, and, wheu the last day’s check is turned over, Messrs. Poole & Donnelly witl witl have enriched Dio- uysius to the tune of $24,000. fdon’tsuppose anybody ontside their theatre Knows exactly how much they have lost on the operation, but it must have been n considerable amonnt, for they are kicking lustily. But Boucicuult is as screne as a bowl of cool dlam-ctiowder. He has struck- o pew scheme, which be thinks is far ahead of even the Obio “idee.” Ie proposes to play a week at Booth’s Theatre, supported by Dominick Marray, John Brougham, Johu- Gilbert, Harry Beckett, Ada Dyas, und—Mrs. Boucicault! 1SXT TIAT COLOSSALY Of course, the. family relations between Dion und iis wife having been thoroughly aired in the papers, there will be a big rush to sec them again. And, as Mr. Boucicault shines in a peculiarly favorable light regarding the alleged long-standing quarrel and its final adjustment, be will be received with flattering marks of esteem By the people. I wonder if any public but an American one would stand this sort of thing? Poole & Donoelly don’t like it, anyhow. They €ay It's mean of Lim to advertisc a com:g en- gagement like this before his time is up with them, It has caused a very heavy drop in his business at the Grand Opera-House already, so they aver. But ss he gets u “certainty ” out of them, and is not at all interested in the ex- tent of their receipts, of course he don’t care. Indeed, perhaps ne's taking this meaus of get- ting back at Donnelly for bouncing bis personal friends from the stage awhile ago. Who knows? “PINAFORE " 1S STILL THE CRAZE in this part of the country. Duil’s party at the Standard are drawing such crowds that people aro turned away from the doors nightly. At the Lyceum, a queer company under. the man- agement of Bartley Campbell and * Libretto Rullman, are not doing so well, financially or otherwise. Saturday evening of this weeka third organization, under the pilotaze of J. C. Frevyer, will open in the same picee at the Fifth Avcnue. And a week later it is to be dove at Niblo’s Garden. Four theatres, ia one town, doing the same piece! 1t is also ‘““on” at the Park, io Brooklyn, and the Broad streer, in Pmiladelobia, and is to be brought out next week at the ' North Broad street house. And, speaking of “Pinafore,” Harkics wanted to produce it at the b Avepue some two or three weeks before it was performed elsewhere in New York. te would have doue it, too, had not Stephen Fiske, who was then his partner, pooh-pootied the idea. It was a4 mistake on Stephen’s part. Had they brought the opera out then, the row at the Fifth Avenuc which caused Stephen’s disposal might not have oc- curred. How sharoer than a serpent’s tooth it is to have a foollsh partner!

BYRNE, OF THE ‘' DRAMATIC NEWS," is after gore. Several weeks ngo, n weekly dramatic journal was started in this eity, in op- position to his paper. y issue hus con- tained editorials pitching into the News in a very lively manner, and reiterating the state- ment that the editor was an ex-convict, *“brand- cd by the galleys of Frauce,” and so forth. Byrne objected to such un imputation, but held his peace until the other day, when the afore- said paper came out with its regulation editorial und a lutter_from John A. Stevens saying his boa been back-capped by the Neuws, hecause he (Stevens) had refused employ- ment for a certain actress recommended by one of the editors. The letter also contained sev- eral other statements which were considered libelous. So Byrne weat und got out orders of arrest m criminal - suits_amainst the opposition eilitor and Stevens. The first person wvas ar- rested, and began ta hunt for Lall. While he was doing that another’ warrant was issued against him on & civil suit. In the meantime, Stevens had taken the alatm, and supplied him- gelf with o bail bond for §1,000 in cuse of an * Unknown " emergency. fle was to have been ar- rested to-day.

He owes thie News $330 for advertising his_play, 50 ’tis said, and an attachioent will be served upon the Sheriff as soun as the bond gzoes into his hands. At this point two or three others who bave claims acoinst Stevens will step in and “ give their sorrow words.” It looks like a {i\-ely tilt just now. Byrne means busiuess auy- how. ‘The continned success of ““THE BANRER'S DAUGHTER™ at the Union Square was not wholly expected by Mr. Palmer, but it is none the less welcome on that account.

She has received a large offer to play an engagefient at one of the leauing theatres in_San Francisco, and will most likely aceept 1t. During that sea- sou she is to produce two new pieces, one of which is 2 modern socicty melodrama.

After the parchase she ascertained that the mine was utterly worthless, and instead of a yield of $27.000 cvery three mooths, had yieldéd only 52,700, and this amount was not suflivient to pay the working expenses.

THE LEADING EVENT OF THE WEEK has been the appearance of the remarkable Ilunzarian violinist, Remenyi. e has plaved in three concerts with his own Combination, and also io the sceond of the series of Mr. Pratt’s symphliony concerts, and has met with the ereat- est popular suceess ever achieved by a violinist upon our concert staze, not s measured by the legitimate standard of artistic greatness, but because his style, in its fervor, abandop, eccen- tricity, and warmth appeals to people more quickly than the higher forms of art. We have already gone somewhat iuto the details of his playing, and have instituted a comparison be- wween him and his great predecessor, Wilheimj, whose virile, stalwart style is in striking con- trast with the smaller, more brilliant, and more fascinatiog style of the Munearian. In this in- stance, a comparison is not at all odious, as both players are great geniuses in different directions, and while we are sure that Wilh&lmj's art is the grander and more cnduring of the two, this necd not debar us from according to Remenyi 3 wonderful power of playing upon human emo- tions aud of exereising a fascination and wizard- like spell which are not the effccts of the colder, purer, more severe, and more majestic art of the other. In the Pratt symphony concert an opportuni- ty was given of hearing him with orchestra in two movements of the Mendelssobn concerto, Mr. Duicken having the baton, and wielding it witha composure thdtshows how ecasy it is when you know how. [n the slow movement he played with unusual quictness, and apparently with no inténtion to do more than to bring out the simple of beauty the score, and this he did with remarkable sympathy, and yet without exag- geration of the sentiment. His arace and ele- gance of style suited the music. The Rondo, however, more clearly brought out his quality, and was given with a dash and brilliancy that Mendelssohn himsel! hardly contemplated. In the latter part of the programme he played a “ Romance,” written for him by Dulcken, which was caleulated to display not only his sympathy and his well-balanced execution, but also his marvelous delicacy; and a waltz of his own, with a peculiarly taking theme, and every c!mrl— acteristic ornamentation. i 1t was ot Mr. Pratt’s fault, perhaps, that the rest of the programme was somewbat in the shadow of the violinist, but such was the case, and the result was that after one symphony, :: long movement {from a second, two concertos, and two or three songs, at least one-half of audience did not wait_for the slnm~h::111,§ of- the “Preludes.” Perbaps they - did not wunt the impressions of Remenyi disturbed ; s0, then they were wise in beating a retreat, for the pertors e the Preludes was noise et preterea n mn.m.%?é best w by the orchestra was in the two movements of the * Untinished Symphony " of Sebubvert, and Hr. Pratt conducted it with intel- ligence and spirit, bat even in this work the bal- ance was marred by the blare and mere noise of the brass. To a certain extent the same was true of the Andante from the Srmphony in C of Schuvert. in which tbe long drawn-out themes depend largely upon the strings for their color- ing. Miss Amy Far, a lady of rare musical culture and intellizence, contributed to the pro- gramme the B flat major Concerto of Beethoven, the first time, if we remember rightls, tbat it has been given enmtire {u thiscity. Although she bad to contend with a dull and proay accom- paniment, in which the orchestra seeméd to get no tone, and anuneven instrament, she’plaved the work with a large dewree of skill, and in a manner that was yery scholarly, 1t will be 2ood news to our musical circles that Miss Fay con- templates coming to this city 1o reside. Both a3 a musician and a lady of exceptional culture, she will be warmly welcomed. ‘Fhe remaining numbers of tue programme were songs, whica were given by Miss Kittle Ward in a pleasant mana THE APOLLO CLUE.

Mr. Wollsoha will as. sist Mr. Werrenrath with appropriate piang numbers. The series is a novelty, and will with. out doubt be very-attractive. OPERATIO PROSPECTS. The Strakosch troupe will commence a week’s season of opera at McVicker's Theatre Me.'fr‘t;- 17, while en route to San Francisco. The Mapleson troupe closed at Cincinnati Jast night. It is the intention of the management, if the New York season is successful, to return here in April and give a short season. A NOTADLE EVENT. As we have already announced, Mr. B.
