What cfiort of genius was required to accomplish this success for him and his daughter? Lotuseee. The play ol Li ah in the German was a very excellent plaj tor the G- rmaus; so aro French plays very excel. ent pluys lor tho French; but for English and American audiences a play to bo successful must be specially prepared for them adapted to their tastes moulded to the pecu liarities natural to the Eng.ish and Amorican man ners and feelingB. Mr. Daly found a translation of "Deborah," a oead, soulless translation, into which lie breathed the breath ot life, lie saw in it the germ which he cultivated into a native and original drama; be adapted it to Miss Bateman 's powers, such a choy are; he softened its power so as to tit Ler powers; be trimmed its breadth to suit her capacity : wheio her lisping utterance might tell against her, he arranged it to conceal her lisp ; where her voice might not be equal to ita demauds, be n.oderated it to suit her harsh voice; where her "favorite postures aud gestures, her hands crossed on her breast, her studied motions might be mudo elective, be adapted it to II nd occasions tor them. So with ail adapters. 1 hey find a foreign, play, like a picco of cloth, thoy cut it to tit tue actiess or actor tor whom it is intended. It is a bumble comparison, but it is an aut one, to compare tins adaptation of a piay to the cutting ot a cout. Where the garment is to be a doub et lor a mut-aue-rade, it is cut doublet-fashion; where it is to be a coat, it is cuuke a coat, ihe tailings and the eccou tricit es of an actress or actor are to bo Btudiod ; the piece is wiitten to tho abilities of the company ; per haps one actor is of a broadl humorous stylo, and the proposed play has a refined humor lunuiug through it, then the humor must be broadened; perhaps the actor is of a de.icate and chaster sty.o of comedy, then the broadness of tho character must bo refined to hi standard : so wit must bo lowered to bumor or humor heightened to wit. This requires a genius not second to originating a play .Shakespeare's play 8 were but adaptations; Bouolcault's plays a'e mostly adaptations. 1 hey nnd the rough gem, and they set it lor the special wearer. This is the cose with Mr. Daly's play and Miss Bateman. Suchta ent as she possessed he brought out in the best light and to the best advantage in "Leah," and bo she is the perfeet representative of the part, lie cn:d tit it to another autnss. and then the would be as great nd as effective, fo prove this, see Miss Ha emun in "Lean," and men see nor in, say "ju.ia," in the llunrlibat k. 1 be lormer she can always be great in, but the lait'r, which was written lor an actress of aiiBS nemnie s stamp, tans, in suss liatemau's bauds, short of "Leah." Ji you had seen her in "Julia" a lew evenings siuce, you would have seen the theatre was but barely fillea : but let her put on "Leah," and mark the olflerence, Yet Shylock Bateman tells you that without his daughter Lrah wou d be no success! Why is it, gentlemen, that actresses are so seldom admitted to good society t It is not because they are not good enough, but because when they are taken away Irom the foot-lights, the tinsel and the mechanical bursts and eesturen. thev are sim ply stupid. You remember the hero oi Thackeray's novel, "fendennis." The boy falls in love with iliesFotheringay, the famous actress: ho was fasci nated bv the brilliant renins aho evinced on the stage, lie went to see ber, aud iound her c eauing her satin shoes with bread crumbs; but be believed in her still believed in ber until he saw ber rehearsing ner gieai cnaraciers in tuo urauia saw the chalked line which she toed at certain passages the nrac- tlred postures before the looking glass and found that all her genius was in the teaching of the clover Captain Costiguu . Why, the dramatist, who sets down the woids and writes down the miuute iu- atiuctions lor the acting makes tho actress, makes the success, makes everything but the money which Shylock Bateman takes care to keep. Miss l.ucil.e Western is famous in hast Luiinv, but the character of "Lady Isabel" is the creation of tho noveliBt, and Miss western, who is more generous than those who have reaped prollt lrom ' Lean,' will tell you so. Mr. Forrest is celebrated in "Spar tacus" aud "Metamora," but theso are the creation ol the I'hiladelphia dramatist. Let us take a French vaudeville; here, sometimes in a play lasting a whole evening, you will see but a single scene the whole interest Is centred in the dialogue- clean, cutting, witty talk; but translate auch a p ay and put it, a bare translation, on the American stage, ana the audience win go to Sleep over it. This is, because iu America, wit and repartee oi the best kind are daily heard in the streets, in the count-ing-rooniB, in the parlors; the Americans demand something hotter adapted to their theatrical tastes; they desire humor, but it is the humor ot plot; they love wit, but it must be the wit ot action and inci dent. One ot the most lamous pieoes on the stage is j ss btrangtr. fioueiue wrote It originally in the (iertnan : Sheridan dircoveied it. saw ita eftect- tvenessif presented In a uroner shape for English audiences, and hence bin effort and the success ot Th Hiratiger in Fngland and America; yet all that we aoinlre that nlav la the result of the genius of Uicbard Brinsley sberidaa. It is tho adapter and the author, poony paid and imposed rn as he Is, that makes tho groatiiess with which these res s Is c.ostd. Sometim the actress is her self a genius; then she is courted tor that gen u in oiI.it circcs than proiecsional I MIm Ku i b n, Miss t tithnan, h Bowes are evidences of this. It is ot In r wipe wnh actresses when tho iilo caiiht Irem the Dramatist's genius is cxtinns-hed for the night snd then tho cold, stupid pupil and puppet alone rema lis.

The perer of which collars are made Is epecially maiitilectr.rtd lor the purpose; it must, havo ttrength, elasticity, and whiteness. Tno sheets are nbout 16 by 24 inches in size. The tirst pro cess Is to put 'these sheets through the cutting machine. This machine consists of a set of steel rolieis with knives attached. As the sheets go through they are cut into nine strips, each ol which is the exact widtii ot a collar. The ma chine is led by a girl, who in nine hours can cut about 60,0d0 collars. As the collars are cut they slide into a wooden tray, troni which they are cairn d to the shaping rouchine. The shaping machine is an upright press, the Knives ot which, us they descend en the paralielogtaniic strips of paper,' cut their ends into tho form of a collar nmking the narrow baud in which the but- on-holes are cut aud the slanting piece which tans over. About seventv-hve strips are put info this machine and cut at a single stroke. The raner has now tlie form ol a collar. but It has neither button-holes nor stitches. It Is now carried to the button-hole machine. Six of the strips arc pnt under a small machine very like a sewing machine and the nutton-lu les are laptaiy oriiieri in mem. one machine Is expected to drill (iii.ddO collars daily. The stitching machine is different Irom the others, it is a sort ot roouia a wo'jden mould the two halves of which are hinged torether. meet ing at the handle, which the girl holds. It is of the form ol a collar, with small teeth. This mculd is then put under a machine, which presses it down, thereby bringing the double row ot teeth on both sides of the collar, and eivirg an equal prefsnre to all pitrt of the hem. When ihe mould Is opened the collar is Iound to be r'.utly tlitched. Two girls sit a eaeli ma chine . "Mitch, stitch, stitch-" ne nil da : but never slneintr the son" of tho shirt !

The turning-over process is done very rapidly by hand. It is then placed around a block oi the form oi a neck, which expands gently, and thereby moulds the collar out evenly and gives it a good set. As fast as the collars are thus moulded, another girl picks them up and puts them mto boxes. They are then ready for sale. Ladies' culls are more easily made. The sheets are simply passed through the cutting machine, and made into the narrow slips, and these are ouickly passed through two nairow indented roller. They are then boxed, That is all. Boston Advertiser. A Romantic Story. The arrival at Paris of Ihe Cerman poet, philosopher, and patriot, liotttried ivvokcl, lias reminded a correspondent there of an adventure of the stormy times ot '4 in Germany, in which Kirkel and Carl Schurz, wellkuown in this country as soldier, politi cian, and journalist, were encrased. When the revolution broke out, Kinkel was professor, and ?cnurz, then not twenty years old, a student a. Bonn. Colli took prominent parts in the struggle, both were captured, tried, and sentenced, the professor to imprisonment and hard labor for lite, nnd the student to be shut. Schurz escaped across tno rrencn ironner, out could not leave his liiend and teacher in his dreary contine- ineuT. ne disguised ntmseit in rags, and re turned to Prussia as an organ-grinder, begeing his bread by day, and visiting the friends ot liberty at night, and thus travelled many hun dred miles, only to find that Kiukci's prison hud been chanced, and that he was confined in the for tret s at Spandau. Schuiz now changed his tactics, and had re course to stratngetu. Late one night a carriage, supported D.y lour oragoons, arovo through Spandau to the toi tress, ana an officer in the uniform oi a colonel ol the Royal Guard de livered to the Director a letter bearing the offi cial seal of the Minister of the Interior at Ber lin. It ordered him to send the prisoner Kin- Kei at once, in charge ot the bearer ot the letter, to the citadel ot Maedcbourer. Kinkel was awakened, Eecurely iroucd, and placed in the carriage. It travelled rapidly all nhrht, the escort of dragoons and th magic words "the King's service," insuring prompt relays ol hors:es evetyw here. In Hip morning the prisoner w as taken out, and Iound himself not at another prison, but on the seashore, close under the guns ot an Kng- lish tes.-tl, to w hich he was immediately trans ferred. On ber decs: he found his wife and children, and in the Colonel who had borne him away, he recognized hi friend Carl Schurz in a new disguise. The draeoons, it is needless to say, vere also confederates in the plot. Kinkel has since resided in England and France, unable to revisit his own country: but Carl beburz nas since then been back at leisure and without disguise to his birthplace unmolested by any one: lor, though a condemned iclon, he was a diplomatic representative of one of the most poweriul of nations, and bore, as his sale guard, a commission signed by Abraham Lin coln.
