SS The Play. gf John Brown. z Artemas Ward goes to see the play of “John Brown, or the Hero of Kansas.” aud what he thinks of it here follows: The drama of ‘John Brown, or the Hero of Kansas and H r’s Ferry,’ was produced at the Academy o ic last evening, to a fair audience. We don't know who wrote the play. Let him write one more as near like it as possible, and then quietly die. As the late Gen. J. Cwsar observed in regard to Mr. Cas- sius, “such men are dangerous. s First act opens in North Elba There is a wedding at John Brown's house. Amelia mar- Ties somebody and a quadrille is danced. Then Mr. Brown and his three sons leave for Kansas. Old Mrs. Brown tells them they are going on a long journey, and blesses them to slow inusic. They go to Kansas. What ‘‘upon airth”’ they went to Kansas for when they were so snug and comfortable down there in North Elba, we can’c imagine. The sons are next seen in Kansas in acavern. Mr. Blane, who don’t ap- pear to be a very pretty nice man, asks one of the Browns to dick Brown refuses—which is the first instance on record where a Brown declines such an invitation. Mr. Blane, who is a biack-bearded, ferocious man, about sev- enteen feet high, then asks him whether he is pro-slavery or anti? Young Brown says anti; whereupon Mr. Blane runs a long knife into him and laughs wildly. Another young Brown here rushes up and says, “you have killed me berruther!*’ Music. Scene changes. The wounded young Brown enters supported by his two brothers. fe seems to be pretty much played out. Says he sees his mother and dies.

Pretty soon he (married Brown) goes out and comes in dead. He is shot while out by a Border Ruf- fian. Then the Border Ruffians surround the house, set it on fire, and raise thunder goner- ally The Browns are about to give them- selves up for gone coons, when a lucky thought strikes Katurah; whose dialect would imply she was from South Readin’, that there is a trap duor te the cabins. The Browns go down eteirs and come up through the bulkhead. Their miraculous escape reminds usof that of DeJones the Sanguinary. For sixteen years was be confined in a loathsome dungeon, not tasting of food during ail that dreary period, when one day a lucky thought occurred to him. Jie opened the window and goteut Then Old Brown and his remaining son meet and swear to have revenge on the slaveholders. The battle at Ossawatomie takes place. Guns are fired. Gid Brown kills Mr. Blane, making an able and eloquent speech to him as he does it. Mr. Blane tells his comrades to remember the importance of one vote, and to be at the polls early, says he don’t see his mother sch, and shies like the son of a gentleman, wrapped up in the bar strangled spanner. Four or five other border ruffians are killed, but they don’t eay anything about seeing their mothers. It may be that we have got things mixed a little, but we hardly think we have, as we paid particular attention The last act shows us Brown’s farm at Har- er’s Ferry. His daughter Amelia asks him if e hadn't better give the thing up, and he says no. It must he put through. He then says they must pray for his success. Cook comes in disguised. He says the rural districts are all going in for freedom, and that the thing had better be done right off. The arsenal is shown us. United States soldiers come and fire at it. Brown comes out and permits him- self to be shot. Is carried across the stage on a mattress by several athletic supes. Is tried and sentenced to death by the court, which consists of one man in epaulets and a glazed eap.

[From the Cleveland Herald } A melancholy looking figure took the Lake Shore cars for home last evening. Originally, he had evidently been green enough to deceive a hungry cow into the belief that he was good to eat, but the hand of man, or woman, had iMuminated him with rainbow hues One eye had closed fur the time on terrestrial matters, the last object it had seen having heen multi- tudinous s The classic nose had expand- ed in dimens and sundry scratches orna- mented the e re. Inthe language of Colonel Macheth. his clothes were ‘« a sorry sight.”’ The story of his troubles was affecting, and made us blow our nose repevtedly. Clark Warren could se*rcely prevent himself from falling in Master Depot Robinson's arins at the time. Nothing prevented that catastrophe but the fact that neither of them was there. The oy y innocent was a benighted Ashta- bulian. He came up yesterday tne rning to make some --dicker’’ and see the sights. Heard Lola Montez was in town. Had *-hearn tell of her afore Would like to see her. Fell in with a nice young man, and told him that he should. Nice young man shook his hand cor- dially and said --Lucky man that you are, I am her private secretary. Name of Barnes. You shall see her, and that right off. Let's drink’ Took a drink. Went up town. Took two or three drinks with nice young man. Came to a saloon, and was toid Lola was “around.” Private secretary said Lola was on the ‘moral dodge,’ but that she was -‘an old rip-snorter on the sly,’ and had come to the saloon fora bitof fun. Was introduced to a dashing gal,who had a cigar in her mouth and a whisky punch in her hand. She slapped him on the back. Said he was a jolly green old buck, and asked his mother’s health. Told her she was well, and then, at the supposed Lola’s suggestion, they drank to the happiness of the maternal parient. Lola becam: friendly, and the Ashtabulian’s eyes saappet like the whisk of a fire-fiy’s tail of a dim eve- ning. Took another drink. Lola executed a pes seul ending ina polka which astonished Ashtabulian, who had never before taken the floor. Ashtabulian getting over head and ears inlove ‘Took another drivk all round. Lola plumped down in his lap, and said he looked just like her dear old King of Barvady. Put tn arms around his neck and embraced him a.

This she followed up bya sud- jen extensiun of her right arm which effected a remarkable “‘bunging up” of his left peeper Ashtabula began to think he wasn’t wanted, repared to lenve.

Re- solved to return to Ashtabula at once. We advised a consultation with the police, bat our advice was declined with a melancholy ehake of the head. I aint going to face them eusses again. I tell you. I’m going home, Lor’, if my Maria bears tell of this, I shall catch it. We asked who ‘Maria’’ was He said she was his ‘old woman.”’ We hope, for bis sake, that Maria don’t see the Herald.

Old Wemen with Juvenile Manners. A correspendent of the Cincinnati Times, who calls himself “Invisible Green,” is respon- sible for the following: It was after we had beet conveyed by steam and rail to the depot of the Baltimore road, and were impatiently waiting the signal for departure, that my attention was directed to a fair specimen of a numerous class of ladies in the Eastern States. She wasa woman of thir- ty-five or forty years of age, the mother of I don’t know how many shietren but two were with her. Her dress indicated plenty of cash. A small spaniel was crouched at her feet, and seemed more of a favorite than her children. She had joined us somewhere up the Delaware, was going beyond Philadelphia, and, as I jadged from her actions, expected to mest some one at the Philadelphia depot. She said: “‘Why don’t dey tum? lookee an’ lookee, an’ dey don’t tum. Poly, dear, (to the dog,) why don’t dey tum?”’ The dog answered with a wag of his tail, and she peered through the windows, first one and then another. Finally, she joyously exclaimed: “Oh, dar’s Harree. Poly, dear, (to the dog;) they’ve tum, they've tum.” Then, thumping the car window to attract “‘Harree’s’’ attention, she sang out, in a deli- cate, squeaking tone: ‘“‘Harree, I’m here; don’t you hear me, Har- ree?" Harry, who was a fashionably-dressed young man, did not hear, however; so she bid “Poly, dear,” to lie down, and then, with a sort of school-girl prance, tripped along to the door, and called him again and again, until she attracted his attention. Harry was glad to see her—had been looking for her—told her that Lilly was in the other car, and offered to con- duct her to Lilly, or Lilly to her. “DH tum to Lilly,” she said. “Bless the dear, is she well. You take de children, an’ I'll take Poly, dear, Harry.” Then she pranced back to her seat, affection- | THE TWENTY-SECOND OF FEBRUARY Arrangements for the Dedication of the Eques- trian Statue of General George Washington on the 22d of February, 1960, and in the eighty-fonrth year of American Independence.

Mr. Charles Packer, a dry goods clerk, invited a young lady, who isthe cousin and ward of Mr. Elliott, a carriage-maker, to attend a lecture with him. While on the way to the hall in a carriage which Mr. Packer had procured, and which the distance did not render necessary, he offered indig- nities to the young lady, which elicited such vio- lent resistance and screams that the young man found it necessary to take her immediately home. On reaching there she alighted and entered the honse without assistance. ‘This circumstance, to- gether with her short absence, attracted the atten- tion of the lady with whom she boarded, and after close questioning, she persuaded the young lady to make a statement of the facts, which was immediately communicated to her guardian. After thinking the matter over for a day or two, he de- termined to chastise the offender publicly, Pack- er’s employers on being informed of the origin of the ditiiculty, immediately dismissed him. 7 Some attention has Mere been turned to cotton growing in the Sendwich Islands. Experi- ments were made during the past season in its cultivation at Wailu-kee, Maui. Four samples are noticed inthe Honolulu Advertiser, consisting first, of the produce of native seed, which is a poor article, worth perhaps six or seven cents per pound; second, the produce of native and foreign seed mixed, which is scarcel superior to the above; third, the produce of New Orleans seed, which isa fair article, worth about Il cents per pound; and, lastly, the produce of Sea Island seed, worth about thirty-tive cents per pound.
