thelr addresses in any part of the city before nine o'clock are not distributed, even below Grand street, until after noonday, As for the rest of the country, Heaven save the mark! They get out of the little Dutch church when they may. This matter should not be delayed any longer either by official red tape or intriguing job- bers. Ithas been decided to erect a metro- politan post office in this metropolis, and it is the duty of the Postmaster General to put the affair in the way. of consummation at an early day. We do not care whether it be erected in the City Hall Park or anywhere else, but we wish that the jobbing contractors be sent about their business and the work put inhand. Before the building can be in any way completed so that it can be used we are in danger of out- growing the plans which have been adopted. Let the new building be made as ample as the ground selected will permit, with the clear conviction that by the time the mails shall be well nestled in it our city will be approach- ing a census of five millions and the country the sum of one hundred millions of people. City Armories—Mr. Kiernan’s Bill, An ill-disciplined, disorganized militia is as ‘much an evil in a State as a highly-trained and effective force of volunteer soldiery is a safe- guard against domestic tumult and invasion. Taxpayers who feel the weight of national and local burdens count every uniform pe ae , and volume4f scorn and censure heaped by Pics on the gaudy gawks who parade cdays. The money expended o1 on st such ganization is uselessly squandered, ahd fd the @ which allows its existence is exposed to jed ridicule. How far our National merits similar criticism is best Known anced officers in it; but knowledge, mhust entertain a very poor epinion of the discipline and training of our local regiments, There is not a battalion in the First division which, if called into active service to-morrow, could do any better than Tun away, and even that it could not doin a military manner. Automatons in tactics there are enough, but a company or regiment of soldiers there is not in the city. This is a serious charge, but it is trae. The fault, how- ever, lies not with the members of the National Guard. Very many of the officers are capa- ble and excellent, and the material of the regiments could not be better. The blame lies with the State government and the Legislature, fal haVe syitetiatically iteglected to pass such measures as were nécessary to increase the efficiency of the militia, while they eagerly im- pose heavy burdens on the people in its name in the interests of “‘rings” and cliques of ras- cally politicians. We are exceedingly glad to psn, how- oF chance is offered the Legislature to atone for past neglect in this regard. Mr. Lawrence D, Kiernan has introduced a bill in the Assembly for the erection of a large and commodious armory in a central part of the oity, which will render the present expen- sive and useless cribs used by our city regi- ments unnecessary, and in which our militia men can have room for practical instruction, Tho building is urgently needed by the First division. The Elm street arsenal, which it is proposed to sell, is a useless encumbrance; the Ninth regiment armory is in such a condition that the lives of the men who drill there are imperilled, and the costly State arsenal in Seventh avenue is tumbling to pieces. With the exception of those used by the Seventh and Twenty-second regiments every armory in the oity is totally unfit for the purpose to which it is applied. The proposed armory will not interfere with private or public interests ; after two or three years it will save two hundred thousand dollars annually to the city, and it will give our regiments an opportunity of ac- quiring a proper knowledge of tactics and the duties of the soldier. | The bill will be heartily supported by those members who desire to see the National Guard made more efficient. Mr. Kiernan’s able advocacy of the measure will doubtless insure its passage. Coroners’ inquests are are very funny affairs as a goneral thiag, nor are they always so “inteliigent” aa they might be, is tt because of this fact that some of the coroners always have with them a sort of “man Friday,’’ who acts aq a juror in every import- ant inquest? It is said tsar is wader salary. What for? People who live on Staten Isiand complain that the sidewalks in Whitehall and State streets, in this city, are crowded with all sorts of licensed obstruc- tions; but, of course, all the owners of the obstruc- tions are making an honest living. So are the folks in the Street Comm tssioner’s office. Mr. Macgregor, the gentleman who is called the In- aspector of Unsafe Buildings, some time ago threat. ened to prosecute every theatrical manager who dared, in deiance of law, to block up the aisles with camp stools or to allow people to stand therein. Mr. M. has not patronized the theatres much of late, or there would Le a good many prosecutions going on just now. ‘There is an old city ordinance that allows all own- ers of carts, wagons, &c., to Keep them in the streets in front of their residences or stables, greatly to the annoyance of neighbors and passing vehicles, Js this old ordinance so strong an electioneering bait that it caunot be repealed?

Boorn’s THRATRR—EDWIN ADAMS AS NAROISS2.— “after me, the deluge!” It would be difficult to find within the entire range of the modern drama ‘a tragedy so full of concentrated passion and thril- ling interest as that of “Narciase.”” It teads us through the glittering halls of Versailles in those days when the Pompadour ruled France; introduces usto the scofing encyclopedists whose wit and neers, mightier than the armies and navies of Europe, undermined the throne of the Bourbons; gives us a glimpse behind the dark scenes of court tutrigue; lays open, as with @ surgeon’s knife, the inmost soul of the haughty woman whom all France jeared and hated, and brings before us the wrecked, desolate yet noble heart which she destroyed. The character of Narcisse is an ungrateful one, even to an actor of high abiify. It is necessarily sombre, and it isthereiore diMcult to avoid monotony and pa in tt representation. Dawison, "—~ rhaps his highest honors as “Narcisse,’’ Tove 18 sombre character by a dash of rookies gayety which made the vein of insanity running through it more marked. Mr. Adams threw into the part all his well known fire and passion, 7. in some of the scenes he left eg oe bam desired. in others, however, for instance in the dialogue with the pa- goda and ajso when in Quinault’s chamber he con- jures up his imagination his own home and lost wife, the picture ia each case was too gloomy and the expression of it monotonous. ‘The last scene, in which he hurls a fearful curse on the soul of the dying Pompadgur and revels m visions of blood, ruin and despair, was superb. Misa Fanny Morant's Pompadour was one of those finished and carefully studied representations, with the stamp of nature engraved on it, which ts always Viewed ‘with pleasure. Miss E, Johnson deserves a word of appro tion for her clever study of the character of b! le, Quinault, The rest of the cast was compietely mi if not nulll- fled by the utter inefiiciency of the Duke de Choiseul (Mr, Fenno). This part, whicn almost ranks in im- rtance with that of tne Pompadour, or even ‘arcisse, was made the medium of displaying a re- mark: strong pair of lungs and a corr: ‘want of ial expression or dramatic action. ‘The mouniing of the piece, although it is not of a nature to demand much in mise en scene, was excellent, We would suggest to the orchestra some more con- genial music quadrilles between the acts of a New Yor« Tugaree.—Notwithstanding the Shaks- pearean attractions elsewhere last eveuing there was avery respectable house at this theatre.
