Prof. Johnson, the great agricultural scientist, delivered an entertaining and instructive address, in the course of which he Various topics for consideration, ee —— Amusements. NATIONAL Taearen.—A delegation of uniformed Knights of Pythias gave something of amilitary aspect to the orchestral section at the Nattonal ‘Theater last night, and theirenthusiastic lause of the efforts of their brother, Frederick Warde, doubtless inspired that gentieman and his sup- porcine company with a new ardor for the workzof interpreting John Banim’s weil-known pay, ‘ot “Damon and Pythias.” This drama belor to an epoch With which the taste of the present cap have little sympathy, and the work of enacting it is an ungrateful task. Its underlying sentiment ts, to be sure, of primitive character, which should find response in every unspoiled heart; but the literary raiment in which it 1s presented offends the truer critical taste of to-day, which condones no fault less Feadily than the‘overwrougnt, and affected style which marked much of the playwriting of the eariler part of the century. literary style does fail to impress itself on the work of the actors who attempt the interpretation of these dramas, as might in the nature of things’ be expected. Mr, Warde’s com. ny give a performance of much merit, fairly well thought out and developed to acon- siderable ree of homogeneousness and com- pleteness, Mr. Warde nitnself makes @ Damon of Abundant force and tenderness, and is frequently carried by the essentially declamatory character of the part into a hysterical boisterousness which he should seek above all things to avoid, In the less passionate scenes he was grace. ful, well-poised and forcible, At the end of the fourth act he was recalled and presented with a foral triangle by the knights He made a brief speech in response. MF. Handysides as Fythias Was entirely Worthy to be mated with Mr. Warde, Miss Blair was a pleasing Calanthe, and Mrs, Fos- ter'’s Hermione Was salistactory, This evening “Virginius” will be Ge en. ALBbAUGH's Orga Hovse.—Miss Kate Castleton, ver; tty and engaging, but rather more “bash- ful” than there is any spparent, call for, Was weil received in “Crazy Patch” at Albaugh’s last night. ‘The piece 1s simply a racy jumble of Eycaee onstuse, but it adjords Miss Castleton, Eddy Fog, James P. Kelly, Harry Rathbury, and Arthur ‘no end of opportunity for assaults on the risibles of the audience, During the second and third acts: the laughter was almost continuous, Mr. Fog 1s especially amusing in # grotesque and tndesc ble way. The fun of the piece, wiile not exactly elegant, ts not at all coarse, there being a certain suggestion of artistic reserve about 1 which ts very acceptable. Hares’ Buou THEATER—An audience that tested the capacity of the house: witnessed the erformance Of “Passion’s Slave” at Harris’ Bijou ‘eater last night. The play contains many ef- fective situations, and they recelve competent treatment at the’ hands of Mr, T. H.
