10 OBITUARY. CHARLOTTE SAUNDERS CUSHMAN. ‘A great actrass is dead, one of the greatest that ever appeared in English tragedy, For more than forty years Charlotte Cushman has been at the head of her profession, and was so entirely supreme tn her own do- main that no one dared to attempt to become her rival. ‘The throne she leaves will forever remain empty; the | world can only drape it with the sable pall, and place | upon it the vacant crown and the useless laurel wreath of fame, This distinguished woman, to whom her sex owes & debt of gratitude for proving its unsurpaseed intel- Jectual capacity in dramatic art, died yesterday morn- ing, shortly after nine o'clock, at the Parker House, Boston, at the age of nearly sixty years. She was born in the city of Boston on July 23, 1816.

The closing scene was calin and peaceful, Gathered around the bedside were | friends near and dear, among them being her nephew, Charles Cushman; Miss Stebbins, an; intimate friend of the deceased; her faithfal nurse, Susie, who has been her constant at- Yendant for the past thirty-five years, and Dr. Thorn. | ton, Recently on several occasious it has happened that iHiness compelled her to give up altogether the theatrical engagement she had entered into. At other times she has appeared before the public while suffer- ing intensely, exhibiting heroic fortitude which seemed absolutely marvellous to her friends. During her last en ment at the Globe Theatre in Boston those who d with her were compelled to uso the utmost caro and tenderness, and a physician was o‘ten in attend- @nce at the theatre to alleviate her sufferings, Her funeral will take place at King’s chapel on Monday. ‘The remains will be taken to Mount Auburn for inter- ment, The long and illustrions career of Charlotte Cushman on the stage was preceded by years of toil and obscur- ity, She first appeared upon the sage April 18, 1835, fia the Tremont Street Theatre, Boston, as the Countess in “Phe Marriage of Figaro.”” At that time she had a fine contralto voice, and her career appeared to be a musical one. But, fortunately for herself and the world, she permanently injured ber voice, so far as the opera was concerned, by forcing it in soprano réles in a season of English opera at New Orieans. Still she always retained a certain wer of musical intonation, of great effect upon’ the stage, as she Froved to the end by the singing of the simple Scoteh air, “Oh, rest thee, my darling,” in the piay of “Guy Mannering. ” Giving up music forever, Miss Cush- man appeared in New Orleans as Lady Macbeth, and made asuceess. In 1836 she played at the old Bowery Theatre for one week, just before it was burned, and afterwards for two years filled utility paris at the Park Theatre. Here she studied her protession and laid the foundation of her subsequent triumpha It was only Dy accident that she created her great character of eg Merrilies. The actress who was to have played the character at the Park was taken suddenly iM, and Miss Cushman was required to per- form it, Mr, Curtis says:—''She went early to the theatre on the evening of the play, hastily selected or contrived some suitabie Ry oo and, finding a deserted quarter behind the scenes, began a rapid study of Meg. The thought suddenly came to her, ‘It Bertram, the bursling of the old gypsy, is now a krown man, surely | Meg will not be the hale, erect woman they al) make her out to be. I must certainly put more trath into my Meg.’ When the moment of her entrance came Braham stood expecting the usual conventional Meg | Merril but the first words of the old gypsy caused | him to start in veritable, unacted surprise, He turned | see a weird being, wrinkled, bent, hollow-eyed, a staff clutched in her skeieton hand, a wondertul cos-" tume of tatters and faded colors, yet withal a presence of power and grandeur, ‘a dignity and command in speech’and voice, No wonder it roused the great tenor to new efforts. After the curtain had | faileu on the first act, Miss Cushman burried to ber dressing room tocon the remainder of the park A knock came to her door, apd her maid announced Mr. Braham. ‘0 heaven!’ ‘thought the daring yet timid actress; ‘has he come to overwhelm me with his anger at whaj I bave done?’ But a kind hand presses bers, and wirm thanks from the great singer for having given him the most delighted surprise, the most pleas- urable sensation, were asweet reward to the new and henceforth the ouly Meg Merrilies of the stage. ‘Oh!’ gaid Braham ; ‘had you dove to night’s work on a Lon- don stage your fortune would be made.’ ” This personauon alone stamped Miss Cushman as a remarkable artist; but her real greatness was not even then understood. She visited England in 1544 and had great difficulty in obtaining such an engagement as hor ambition longed for, Helen Faucit was then the great Koglish actress, Charlotte, Cushman was an un- Known American. There was an atmosphere of in- trigue and rivalry then about the London stage; but it is to the credit of Miss Cushman that she declined to be made the instrument even of the enemies of her only rival She would not take Miss Faucit’s place to please a theatrical cabal. Therefore she remained im obscurity, and actually !n poverty, and abidéd her time, She lad resolved to stake her whole reputation upon her success as a tragédienne in London. Colonel rd this story {rom Charlotte Cushman t together at midnight a few years ago ata railway station waitipg for their respective trains, can relate the secret history of that eventiul time better than we can, As be can tell it, and as he doubtless will tell it when be retarns in a few days to America, itis like a romance, whieh we feel it would be a pity to spoil by’ an imperfect recital It was @ critical point in Charlotte Cusbman’s life. But she did not wait in vain. On the 13th of February, 1845, she made her first appearance in London at the Princess’ Theatre as Bianca in ‘‘Fazio.’’ Is was not vill the third act of this extremely disagreeable play vbat Miss Cushman mado any im- jon, The applause that attended her delivery of ‘the lines in that act was the Gret she had in Eugland; and when she retired to hér reom at the end of the act Busie, filled with joy, exclaimed, “You've got Jem, missus, you've got ’em.” A writer in Appleton’s Journal says :—'The passionate imtengity of the Bianca electrified, too, the inert stocks with which she was surrounded, and they were ivvoluniarily swept, by the magnetic power that seemed to radiate trom | her, into something like rapport iu their own acting. But in the fourth act Miss Cushman carried everything | befor ‘The mighty passion and agony of the jast great scene was 80 overpowering that the actress fainted away at its close, and she had to be supported in front of the curtain to acknowledge the contnaed and tumultuous thunders of applause with which that English audience welcomed the rise of avother great Light on their dramatic borizon.’ Charlotte Cusbman remained for several years in Londov. She sent for her sister Susan, who played Juliet toher own Romeo. In 1:49, she returned to America, and made her first appearance at the Broad way Theatre, October 8, as Mrs Haller. In 1851 she Dade a farewell to the stage and-visited Europe, making her residence in Rome; but she was too earnest to re- main in idlenesa In 1857 she again appeared upon the American stage, and in 1898 upon the Koghisn. During the war she played frequeatiy, aud ber services were Hiberally given in aid of tue Sanitary Commission, the total amount o} her benedits for that charity being almost $10,000.

To raw Epiton or THe HeraLp:— i Charlotte Cushman is dead. Before vhe shock of | this news has passed away it cannot be improper to | recall to her professional brethren the great loss we sustain by this sudden departure. After a long life of toil, laden with years and honors, she sleeps at last. ‘That crown which she bas worn for so many years un- disputed now lies upon a coffin beside which a whole nation will mourn, The world contained no greater spirit, po nobler woman. Her genius filled the world with admiration, and the profession which she adorned and ruled must long await her suc- cessor, This is mot the place nor is mine the pen to write her history; larger space and abler bands will see that duty performed. These lines are traced by one who loved ber living aud weeps for her now dead. Her career is an incentive and an example to all the workers in our noble art, A woman of genius, industrious and religious, her best education was obtained within the circle of her calling. Almost masculine in manner, there was yet a gentle- ness in her which only her intimates could know. The voice which crooned the lullaby of the Bertrams so touchingly came from a heart as gentle as infancy. To all who labor in the realms of art, and to my profes sion most especially, the loss of this day will bea severe one, Bigotry itself must stand abashed before the life of our dead queen, whose every thought and act were given for years to un art which ignorance and envy bave battled against in vain for centuries. To her, our queen, we say, ‘Peace and farewell!” We shall not look upon her like again. Your servant, LA WRENCE BARRETT. New York, Feb, 18, 1876. A. GC. RUSSELL, OF MASSACHUSETTS.

ACADEMY OF MUSIO—ITALIAN OPERA—DEBUT OF MIS# MATILDA PHILLIPPS. the Academy. Italian opera of late years has pro- sented so few features of interest that such circum- stances and such a grand triumph as those which characterized the début of Miss Matilda Phil- lipps, the sister of one of the cleverest, if Pot the best, of American opera singers, must call for | special recognition. The opera selected for the début of Miss Matilda Phillips was “La Cenerentola,” written by Rossini and brought out in the same year with “La Gazza Ladra,” “Il Barblere di Seviglia”” and “Otello.” Although sixty years bave passed since the first repre- sentation of this opera, and although it has been rarely given on the Italian opera stage in this country, yet ita seductive melodies and taking instrumentation should have more ample recognition, The cast last night was as follows nerentoll Miss Matilda Philipps .Signorina Lambert: Clorinds.

WASHINGTON’S BIRTHDAY. EXTENSIVE PREPARATIONS FOR THE FORTHCOM~ ING CELEBRATION—A LONG LIST OF BALLS, PARTIES, PARADES AND OTHER AMUSEMENTS. Not only here in the United States are the virtues of George Washington, “the Father of His Country,” looked up to with veneration and respect, but in every land on the face of the globe where Jovers of civil and religious liberty are to be found 18 his great name pro- nounced with sentiments of admiration fer his genius and love for the purity of bis career in public as in pri- vate life. Not only in New York will there be celebra~ tions in honor of his birthday, but also in the great cap!- tals of Europea. Among those who sigh for and those who -already enjoy the blessings of liberty the 22d of Feb- ruary will be remembered and looked upon as the an- niversary ofa day auspicious in the history of our kind—the day on which Wasbington first saw the light, In bright and fascinating Paris the birthday of Lafay- ette’s firm friend and revered commander will be ob- served with feastings and rejoicing. In that modern Babel where “GEORGE THR THIRD WAS KING’? oP ap o “dinings and winings’’ that the triumphs of his rebellious subjects will plauded and approved in, will take place in honor of the arch rebel’s birthday. In the birth place of Richard Montgomery, the land of Burke, Grattan, O'Connell and Emmett, enthust- astic hearts will swell with gratitude as the people’s eyes are turned westward to our celebrations in honor of the great Washington. Our northern neigh- bors will mark the day with due respect, and America’s southern friends, even far away over many rising republics to the Straits of Magellan, as they remember the struggles and sufferings of their Hidalgos, Bolivars, O'Higgins and other sterling patriots who dearly pur- chased South American freedom with many trals and sacrifices, will,in their far away homes, unite in spirit with the people of New York and of Philadelphia, Boston, San Francisco, New Orleans, Chicago, Wash- ington, with all Americans, to worthily celebrate, In this centennial year, this great national holiday, A Herauo reporter called yesterday upon a well known citizen whose good works all appreciate, and the sentiments recorded above are about the substance of what Ne said when speaking of the celebrations in honor of Wasbington that are to take place on Tuesday next, The sentiments are enthusiastic, but their en- thusiasm has the ring of a genuine love for the froo tn in- stitutions which but for Washington might not havo been ours, at least for many weary years after they were achieved by the armies under bis direction. New York and vicinity, in common with other parts of the Union, bas adopted a varied programme of amusements, feastings and rajoicings for Tuesday next that will render the celebration of Washington’s Birth- day in this centennial year of American independence one of the most brilliant—as naturaily it should be— celebratiovs that have marked the 22d of February tor many years back.
