HISSING AT THE THEATRE, Whenee sudden shouts the neighborbeod sur- rise, And thundering clasps the dreadfal hisses rise.”> Addison's Playhouse. at the performance of a play by bi f uncertain date. All the old dramat who write in our tongue seem to bave recog- nized it as a privilege of the audience, and not to be disputed or gainsaid. Ben Johnson, in his is Humor,” says: _ “ Poor worms. they hiss me, whilst [ at home, Can be contented to applaud myself.”* Here is the term distinetly brough into oppo- sition to the word “ applaud,” the idea being manifestly drawn from theatrical usage. The lines at the head of this paper show that, at a much later period in the literary history of England the same custom existed. ‘Goldsmith, still later, in Prologue to “ Zobeide,”’ al- ludes to the critics in this wise: “| hear a hissing—there are serpents here’ Milton. in the tenth book of his great poem, thus describes the reception with which Satan's boastful speech. after the fallof Adam and Eve, was received in Pandemonium: ‘So having said, white he stood, expecting ‘Their universal shout and high applanse ‘To fill his ear; when, contrary, he hears Oa all sides, from innumerable tongues, A dismal, universal hiss, the sound Of public scorn." Here, again,we find the terms “applause”’ and *‘hiss’’ used in opposition, and that, too, with an evidently dramatic reference Dr. Johnson, in his Life of Addison, says, “he wrote the opera of Rosamond, which, when ex- hibited on the stage, was either hiased or neg- lected *’ We have said that the old dramatists in our language recognized this custom as an indispu- table privilege and undoubted right of the au- dience. This they manitested es ially in their prologues and epilogues, in which they were always very deferential to the pit. For ex aunple: in the prologue to ‘* The Captain,” Fletcher prays the audience noi to damn his piece rashly; adding: “ For ye may, W ben this is hissed to ashes, have a play, And bere, to out-hiss this.” And in the epilogue to the same comedy, he conjures them tbus: «If you mislike this play utterly, For your own nobleness yet do ot hiss!*? In the prologue to the «Two Noble Kins- men.’ the same poet, scknowledging his in- debtedness for the story to Chaucer, deprecates the rash judgment of the audience by suggest- ing— “: If the first sound this child hear be a hiss, How will it strike the bones of that y And make him ery from undergroun And in the epilogue, the poet, examining the faces of bis audience to see how they like his play, and, finding among them one suspicious looking critic, says If he will, Against his conscience, let him hiss, and kill Our market We might multiply these illustrations, ad rafinitum almost, from the works of the dram- atists not only of our own but other languages, living and dead. But these must suffice for this part of the purpose of the present article. It iscustom, then, that gives this prescriptive right of hissing to the audience at a public theatre, just as it is the custom that gives them the rightto applaud Sometimes it has occur- red that the managers have been displeased at decided manifestations of disapprobation, on the part of the audience, levelled either against the author or the actor, and have endeavored to make it out a disturbance of the peace and a breach of the law. But we believe that ef- forts of this kind have commonly proved abor- tive. We do remember having heard of any legal proceedings commenced against one of a theatrical audience for a too ecstatic de- monstration of approbation of what he had wit- nessed upon the stage ; though it must be con- d, we.think, that applausive manifesta- the popular opinion are at least as $ the usual modes of condemnation. ruth is that the privileges alike of ap- plauding aud hissing must be exercised with a iue regard to the proprieties of the occasion that excites either; and it is the delicate point to be ertained when the line of propriety had been overstepped. The circumstances taust govern the case. If any author puts a play before the public, and it is found by the tribunal to which he submits it to be unworthy an approval, how is the judge appealed to toex- bis opinion’ Ie is not obliged to decide H, saysone. True! But he has certainly a right to do so, if he pleases, and, moreover, this he is in effect invited to do. We see no barm that ean arise out of permitting the gen- tle sibillation, which has checked th it tion of a good deal of bopele take its course and have its quiet way in such a case Again, suppose an actor is habitually and flagrantly imperfect or incompetent, and he is thrust before the audienee nightly. to the utter destruction of the scene pertormed ; or, being competent enough. he be careless and regard- less of the duty he is expected to discharge to the audience, cr he is indecorous in his man- ners upon the stage, violating courtesy or de- pony Shey making himself otherwise disagreea- ble, is he or his manager to be brought to asense of which is due to the public, from either or both? The audience, we think, have a right to express their opinion in such a case, in a language which is never misunderstood ; a language which the old poets we have been uoting deprecated. az at once the privilege of the author to utter, and their obligation, when uttered, to acknowledge With regard to exceptional cases we have, of course. nothing here to say“ Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.’ We have heard disorderly applause, and oftener than we have heard orderly his:ing at the theatre. The de- cision of the questions, what is orderly and what is not, may well euough be left to the common sense of the audience, in the first place, and of the legal tribunals, as the last Tesort— VO.

Purple and lavender are now not con- sidered mourning at all. “ in dress materials, gray cloths, whether Lavela, mousselines, Ma- louna, or silk tissues—and stripes, plaids, and figures of black on white ground, or white on a black ground, are the most desirable. This last, in silks, glaces, fouiard, or chinee, bas an cellent effect, as well as in the tissues espe- ly belonging to the month—grenadines, or- gandies, &e. Tireoses of plain black English erape will be made up over black sulk, with a light mantle and bonnet of the same, for a visit- ing or carriagedress. Nothing could be in better taste. Grenadine is much used in making up sets of undersleeves and collars for deeper mourning instead of blaek crape, keeping its shape and color better. In‘ second-mourning, tarleton, Swiss muslin and plain lace, or quilled illusion sets, are admissible. Light veils for second-mourning are made of Brussels net—short, or demi-veils, round at the corners, and trimmed with a ruché of erape, lightened by another of black illusion, being placed underneath. Mixed straws, gray chips, white chips, trimmed with black and white ribbons, Nea- litans, and crapes are among the favorite mnets. Ruches of ribbon or crape, encircling the bonnet on the outer edge of the brim, and carried round the cape, are much used in trimming them.”’ irls under ten wear a low corsage , over that age, a high corsage, with a basque, in plain one Pique and jaconet are favorite mate- rials. “Up to the age of seven, dresses of white peacale, or cambric muslin, ornamented with needle work, are elegant ; or white diguve may be ane if a plainer style of custome is desired. A little pardressus composed of white prgue, and trimmed with grelots, is one of the prettiest. “The most admired dresses recently pre- pred for little boys include one composed of a joose jacket, and trousers, composed of gray cashmere. The jacket is fastened from top to bottom by a row of gray buttons. The sleeves. which are loose, poh eis to the middle of the forearm, are turned up at the end in the form of revers cuff, and trimmed with passementerie. The undersleeves of white jaconet are closed at the wrist by bands fastened with an ornamented button. A plain white collar, turned down, and a green necktie, complete the costume.” - ——+2+e-—____ THE GRAVES AT SEVASTOPOL. The London Times publishes the following letter, dated London, Sone 23d, from a gentle- man who recently visited the Crimea Having recently visited the Crimea, in the course of a tour in the East, I think it will be interesting to those who have lost relatives or friends during the war there to know the con- dition of their graves and monuments. It was with great pleasure that I found these, with- out smeveee, most carefully respeeted and preserved. Not a stone, even, of the enclosing walls is loosened, and it is evident that the good feeling of the inhabitants has seconded the strict orders given by the authorities for the preservation of the memorials we have raised to our gallant dead. The anxiety man- ifested by the authorities both at Odessa and Sevastopol that we should observe the condi- tion of the burial grounds of the allied armies, proves that their good preservation is the result of genuine solicitude on the part of the local government to gratify what they know to be the earnest wish of numbers ef every class, both in this country and in France. That itis not only the result of the orders given by the Russian Government, was proved to us on visiting the battle field of the Alma, where we were much gratified by finding that even there every grave, no matter what the nationality of its tenant, is even tended and repai.ed. A lady, proprietress of the ground and of the neighboring village of Burliuk, takes a pleasure in preserving these traces of & battle in which she justly considers the honor ot her country is not slighted by the remem- brance of the gallantry of its enemies. This lady, M’me Beliavodsky, will, I am sure, be rewarded by the gratitude of English wives and mothers, for the kindness of heart which prompts her to care for the honored graves of those they have lost. Itis somewhat disgusting to one’s national pride to find one monument in the whole of the Crimea defaced, and that by the hands of Eng- lishmen. On the monument erected by the British army in front of the Redan to their fallen comrads, it seem to be the fashion for English visitors to exchange obscurity for noto- riety by cutting their names on every side. Can any barbarism equal this? —— THE REVIVAL OF ARCHERY. Of late years the graceful and healthy prac- tice of archery has been growing in favor both in this country and in England. In England, indeed, it has never been wholly out of fashion since Kobin Hood drew his long bow and “ shot swift arrows under the greenwood tree.”’ | Su- perseded for purposes of warfare, except among afew Indian tribes at the West, and among some of the wariike hordes in Asia, it has no- where been wholly out of use as an occasional pastime. After a hoop, top and ball, a bow and arrows are indispensable to the happiness of every little Tom, Dick and Harry—and the habit grows with his growth until he exchanges the bow and arrows fur a gun and bullets, and follows Nimrod in the chase The advantage of archery over other sports is this: that it is an out-door amusement—that it requires and cultivates strength, particularly in the arms, shoulders and muscles of the ehest, and gener- ally throughout the body—that the exercise is not violent —that it permits and even demands grace and agility of motion. Archery clubs of ladies and gentlemen have been established in several towns and cities of late, and it is likely to tuke the place of the violent geme of ten-pins at several of the most frequented watering places. ‘Tue best bows are made by Feltham, in Lon- don. They are of various sizes, from five feet two inches to five feet six inches long, and weigh from twenty-two to forty-eight ounces. The backing is flat and of hickory, the inside, or belly, as it is called, of palm, and round. The are sometimes constructed of one pi of wood, and then are called silps, and sometimes of two united longitudinally, then they are termed backed bows. Both are made of yew, hickory, palm or lancewood. ‘The arrows are tipped with steel at the point, and delicately feathered at the butt, weighing from three to four ounces, and measuring from twenty-two to twenty-four inches in length. The wood is pine, with rosewood inlaid at the int. Pethe target is made of rye straw woven into bands, eovered with canvass, and is thirty inches in diameter. Four circles are painted sround the centre, in gold, red. blue, black and white, outside of w! is the petticoat of green. Beside these equipments, there are needed | the guard, the shooting-glove, the belt, the tassel, and the grease-box. i+ Mr. Tucker, Secretary of State, in his anuual report in relation to the statistics of the poor for the State of New York for the year ending Deo. 1, 1357, reports that the whole number ot paupers relieved during that period otland.
