TIIE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH Pin LADE LV ill A WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 22. 1871. 5 A New Way ! Put OI4 Debt." nt the Chrnonl. Masslnijr-r's play of A Xew Way to Pay OH Debt, which keeps the stage almost solely for the sake of the strongly-drawn character of 'Sir Oi'es Overreach," was admirably performed at the Chesnut last evening. It Is a sutllclent j compliment to the company of the theatre to say that the play itself was made exceedingly inte resting: apart from the powerful personation of "Sir Giles Overreach" by Mr. Daven port, anl how muah a really able actor Rains by a thoroughly efficient support apparent In Ihe profound Impres sion which Mr. Davenport's performance made upon the audience. "Sir Gile Overreach," like "Iajo" and "Richard III," Is a perfect villain, and so totally deficient is the character in any kindly traits that we can readily believe the story that the dramatist took this roelhoi of revengi'ie himelf npon one who had injured him. "Sir Giles Overreach" is a hard, grasping usurer. whoe ambition is not only to accumu late riches for bimpelf, but to do it by the ruin of his neighbors. He takes a fiendish pleasure In torturing his victims while he is destroying them, and yet he is willing; to bestow all his i'l-otten wealth upon the man who will make his daughter a right houorablo." This is Rn admirable touch of nattite. for '-Sir Giles" has no love for his daughter. nl if human nature were consistent .which it ttcldom Is it would seem that the usuier onld wish to purchase honors for him self, where Ik is content to remain in his own station ami io shine by the rellecled light of the noble bu-'-a;iJ whom he proposes for his daugh ter. As represented by Mi. Davenportt, ''dir Giles Ovrncacli" Is a monom-iniac, and when all bi il'fp-laid plana suddenly come to nothing, there is at ouce a total mental and jli?iel collapse, and he becemes in a moment a furious madman. Mr. Davenport's acting in the concluding scene of the play Ian night was as pitiful as it was terri ble, and the enthusiastic applause of the audi ence wheu the curtain fell was but a poor tribute to what all who taw it were forced to acknow ledge was a great work of dramatic art. Mr. Davenport has done nothing better than this during his present season at the Chesnut, and his "Sir Giles Overreach" must take its place beside bis 'Hamlet" at the head of his extended repertoire a a performance that no actor upon the American stage can equal. 'Wellborn'" is a sort of "talking-gentleman part, and not particularly interesting in itself. Mr. Thorne Ust evening, however, marie it a prominent feature of the performance by the exceed'me'y artistic manner in which he played it. Mr. Thorue has maJe a very marked ad vance in the liner elements of his art since he has been at the Chesnut, ami he is fast becoming not niertly a forcible but au exceedingly elegant and expressive actor. Mrs. Davenport aa "Lady Alhvorth," Mr. Phillips as Justice Greedy," Mr. Lennox as "Mirrall," and Miss Lily Davenport as '"Margaret Overreach," were all excellent, and the play was altogether given in very superior style. Th Cltv Ainimcmenta. At the Alton there wlil bo a matinee to-day. This evening Mr. Stuart Uobson will appear in Craig' burlesque of Hamlet, in the farce of Jones' Baby, and in the burlesque of Black Eyed Susan. AT TBI Walnut a matinee will be given to day.

Te-morrow Mr. Charles It Thorne, Jr., will have a benetit, when the drama of The Marble Herat and The Bay After Hie Wedding will bo represented. Mr. Thorne, durinir the short time he has been playing in this city, has thoroughly established himself in popular favor, and it will" doubless be a pleasure to many ladies and gentlemen to crowd the theatre to-morrow evening on the occasion of his tirst benefit. Mr. Thorne is an actor of much ability, and he fully deserves tbe compliment of as large an audience as the theatre will hold. At tiie Museum, Ninth and Arch streets, dramatic performances will bo given this after noon and evening. At the American, an entertaining variety performance is annouucod for this evening.

To the Commercial Editor of the Independent: Having a few thousand dollars that I shall not need In my business, and being: naturally desirous of ob taining an investment which will produce the great est Uwouie consistent wltti entire safety, I am led to ask you the following questions, which 1 shall be glaa to nave you auawor, cimc ijhh.-ij ui vuuugu iim rnlnmna nf the Iiuleveiuient: I. Do you think that, as a rule, first mortgage railroad bonds are a desirable Investment? In what do they differ irom a nrsi mongsg ; uu urumar; rem estate? a. I notice you recommend Northern PaclfJo seven-thirties to Investors. Why do you regard them as unusually secure? a. Is the Oovernment pledged to the payment of these Northern Pacific bonds? 4. I notice they are selling at par. Isnt this too ))iKh? Cannot good railroad securities be bought cheaper t . ,, a. i hold a few five-twenties; do you believe the Government will soon call ror their surrender? 6. What asiturance have Investors that Northern Pacific seven-thirties will not hereafter depreciate below th price at which they are now sold, com pelling those who wish to realize on them to do so ttt a loss ? To the above the Independent answers: I. Thus far, the first mortgage bonds of Aue ritan railways have proved to be among the very safest securities, in proportion to amount, they have probably shown a smaller percentage of loss of interest and principal than any other Investment that has been accessible to the people. Bueh has been the history of railway securities. Of course there have been excep tional cases of mismanagement and loss; but far ftener have imperfect titles, lapsed insu rance policies, and shrinkages of value ren dered real etate mortgages a bad investment. There is a living principle underlying a rail war bond, which applies to very few If any other securities. This: i. I mall v the solvency of a railroad depends mainly upon its tratlic; and, aa a rule, that traffic steadily Increases as the road grows older and the population along its route becomes Tlcher and denser. In a word, the income of a raliroad (and hence Its debt-paying ability) will . ordinarily keep pace with the growth, of popu- aa.A railroad, once built, rapidly creaks t hich Is to render It profitable, it de f-airvlnfr trade which did uot before exist and which grows much faster than the t Ibutarr population increases in numbers. o a ;flrjl uauallv has back of It a strong ' eornoratlon of capitalists and shred, energetic buiness men, wuoe yruuw, remitatiou. and bflicial positions de pend upon the solvenc aud success of the ro'id iriih which tuev are Identified. 'Ihis powerful combination of private Interests constitutes a lhing power whone efforts tend constantly to In crease tbe profitableness and soundness of the enterprise in whose Interest they are enlisted. 4. Finally, after a railroad is built, every dol lar expended in making Improvements and ex tensions, adding new facilities for doing busi ness, and in securing valuable alliances with connecting lines, adds to tbe security of its first mortgage bonds, by augmenting the productive ness and value of the property on which those bonds are based. It Is in this way thnt a eerond mortgage may increase the safety of the yir'. With mortgages which rest upon improved real estate in our midst the security steadily dete riorates with time, as the Improvements become less valuable, liailroad grow belter and more prosperous xnith age, and furnish a constantly increasing seevrit ii for the debt created in their construction. It is for these reasons that first mortgage bonds are among tbe very soundest securities that can rc had. II. The Northern Pacific Kallroadhas a three fold solidity, which renders it financially Im pregnable. 1. It has for Its broad and firm foun dation a real estate endowment of more than Twenty-two Thousand Acres of fertile Ltd t ) each mile of track or an unencumbered farm of 500 acres (In addition to the ordinary and ample security of the road and Its trafllc) to secure each 1 1000 bond bought by the public. 2. It has awaiting it a business which we believe is certain to render it self-sustaining from the first, and to elve It a large surplus at an early dev. S. It is in the hands of men of known and acknowledged integrity, whose financial stand ing, whose business sagacity and thorough ex perience, furnish a complete guarantee that eco tomy, energy, and fidelity will characterize its monitgemetit. III. Government does not in form guarantee the payment of Northern Pacific seven-thirties; but it indirectly insures their payment by donat ing unreservedly to the company sutlicient pro ductive lands to pay them twice over. The belt of country In which this superb domain is situ ated admirably combines the three elements Chsential to s ucce'tful farming, viz , a naturally rich soil, a mild climate (tbe latitude being about two degrees below Paris, and six below London), and sufllcient rainfall. IV. When there Is no difference inp-lntof safety, tbe comparative market value of various securities is mainly determined by their profita bleness. In this view Northern Pacific gold seven-thirties, selling at par in currency, are by far tbe cheapest investment of which we have knowledge. Regarded as a source of Income, they are cheaper at par than a six per cent, gold bond at 8a, and cheaper than a six per cent, currency bond at 74 In other words, one hundred dollars invested in Northern Pacifies at par will produce a larger income than the same amount invested in a six per cent, gold security at 83. V. We regard it as highly probable that a large proportion of the present holders of Gov ernment bonds will be compelled to give them up within a comparatively short timo, and accept therefor cash payment or a new five per cent, bond. Everything now indicates that tha Gov ernment will soon be able to fund the bulk of its five-twenties at a lower rate of interest. Hence, we have uniformly advised our subscribers to convert their Government bonds Into some first class railroad security, having equal safety and greater permanence and productiveness. VI. Of course, all securities, even thoe of tbe United States, are liable to occasional slight fluctuations in current price tbe result of out side circumstances, and not of any change in real value. But the same causes which now lender Northern Pacific seven-thirties an excep tionally strong and desirable security will natu rally sustain them in the market so that those who wish to convert their bonds into cash can do so at anv time without loss. Indeed, with their superabundant security, their high rate of interest, and tbe provision that they will always be received at ten per cent, premium In payment for tbe company's lands, 7 3-10 per cent. North ern Pacific Bonds are far more likely to go above par m price man to laii below. C1YF 1TB31S.

The pine tree has long been known to pos sess valuable medical properties. For pal monary diseases it is doubtful whether any remedy has as yet been discovered equal to it. It seems to change and renew the Tory structure on which it aots,' and to inf use into tbe system an indescribable power equal to the natnral power before disease had eren taken hold of the body, so as to make, as it were, an entirely new tissue, and to give a newness of life and energy which one who has been sick a long time knows the value of nt cannot fully describe. The great objec tion, however, to all tar preparations has been their unpleasant taste, and consequent lia bility to sickness and nauseate the stomach. We have before us, however, a preparation of the kind referred to, which obviates all these objections, and is as agreeable to the palate as it is valuable in the cure of disease. We mean "Dr. "Wishart s Tine Tree Tar Cordial," a real, genuine, bona fide medicinal cordial, distilled from the pine tree by a prooeas known only to the Doctor himself, the sale and popularity of which are only equalled by the amount of suffering it has relieved, and the number of diseases it is so well calculated to effectually cure. In the Tine Tree Tar Cordial the invalid may be snro he has a remedy of very extraordinary poworfor throat and lung affections, and when taken in con junction with the "Great American Dyspepsia Pills," an infallible cure for dyspepsia, liver complaint, sick headache, and the many ail ments arising from a disordered state of the liver and digestive organs. In our sphere as publishers we feel gome degree of cautiousness in what we recommend to our readers, but when we know of any thing of value to the publio we shall not hesi tate to make it known throngh our columns. We advise those of our readers who are suffer ing from dyspepsia, eto., to give Dr. Wishart' celebrated remedies a trial. A medical expert, holding honorable oolle giate diplomas, devotes hi3 entire time to the examination of patients at the offloe parlors. Associated with him are three consulting phy sicians of acknowledged eminence, whose ser vices are given to the publio free of charge. This opportunity is offered by no other ia stitution in the country. Thousands of certificates of absolute cure (when all else failed to afford relief), as wall as recommendatory letters without number, have been received by Dr. Wishart, the pro prietor, attesting the uniform success with which they have been employed. Many of said letters are from the highest sources, in cluding eminent statesmen, Governors, State judges, clergymen, etc. men blow to be con vinced, prejudiced perhaps at first, but feel ing themselves under a sense of duty bound to tell the Doctor what they had done for them and to recommend them to others. The Great American Dyspepsia Fills and Fine Tree Tar Cordial are sold by all druggists throughout the world. They can also be obtained at Dr. WISnARTS GREAT FAMILY MEDICINE STORE, No. 232 North SiiCOND Street, Philadelphia, where a successful praolising physician can be consulted each day, free of charge.
