THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, MAilOII 20, 18G9. 8 EUSlCAIi JLNO DKAHATIC JaaansclieU as "Elisabeth." lat evening .Frauleln Janausonelt appeared M "Queen Elizabeth," In Giaeometti's plctu vetque drama. It was la this rote lb at Hlstort asade tbe most deolded sensation on her first Visit to the United States, and with many of her admirers It was not eclipsed even by her Other great personation of "Marie Antoinette.' ftlnee Illstorl the part has been played with much success by other eminent aotressesj and Jananschek'a performance last evening, there fore, had a particular interest or those who Wrre deslrou of comparing her with Bistort in one of the liter's most original and most atrltlng rote. Janansohek pUys "Catharine the Beeond" so superbly that fti trst thought It would seem proba- tle that she would scnteve au ' success as Elizabeth." The lliiusian, now ever, wa ii imnnrlnnsness: mere w " comedy side to her charaoter and It would bo impossible to represent ner in a ..u.v. -light. Jaoanschek: has not sufficient versatility to portray the many sided charaoter of the EngllHh queen. In all the scenes where power Jul and vigorous acting were required she was excellent last evening, and her personation throughout was evidently a carefal and orlgl. al gtujJy, The love scene with "Essex," in the first act, the signing of the death warrant of Mary Btiiart, and other passages In which "Ell aabetb's" vanity, meanness, and duplicity are porlrajed, were not rendered by Janauschek Vlth the same effect as they were by either Rls tori or Mrs. Lander. This performance was interest lng as an ei perlment. but the part was evidently not well suited to Junauecliek's style, and her acting wanted much of the ease and vigor which usually distinguished it. The City Amusements. At tbc Anon Mr. F. F. Mackay will have a benefit, when he will appear lor the ttrst time as "Blr John Palstan," in Shakespeare's comedy of The Merry Wives of Windsor. The ' performance will conclude wltn tne drama of l)ick Turpin. We hope that Mr. Mackay will . nave a fuil house. .,.,., .,, On Monday Much Ado About Nothing will be performed, and on Wednesday Miss Fanny Itevenport will have a benefit. "There was, some lime ago, a genteman who was very rich; he had line town and coun try houses; his dishes and cups and saucers were all of gold and silver; his rooms were hung WKb damask curtains and most beautiful pio lures; bis cualrs and sofas were oovered with the richest silks and satins, embroidered wltn sold and silver threads; and he had carriages and horses, and camels and sUves, and every thing that could be wished for, all in the must f'rand style. His palace was unequalled by any jjooie pile,' even of the present generation. "Bui it happened that this gentiemau bad a blue beard, wnlcb made htm look so very Irikhtful and ugly, that noue of the ladles in toe country where he lived would venture to so Into his company; iu fact, tbey all dreaded nlm, for it was reported that he had killed five of his wives." Thus runs the fairy tale of oar youth. The story of the present day, aeonrdiog to Offdn baon (a popular French musical genius), with tne aid of Mr. Hubert Craig, of tne Arch, differs considerably, Mr. Craig deplots the ruonBter as the husband of Blx (vouched for) wives, aiid as a moael for ine fair sex, one whom no young lady (or even one of a doubtful period in the calendar) would say 'nay" to; and to those of our readers who have not witnessed bis Impersonation we suggest a visit on Wednesday evening next to the above-mentioned theatre, upon the occasion of the benefit of Miss Fanny Davenport, whose personation of "Boulctte," the fortunate sixth wife, most be seen to b appreciated. Mr. . li. Davenoort will also give his fine performance of "Jaek Rover," the stroll Ine actor, In O'Keeie's celebrated comedy of Wild on u. The lively farce of Mr. and Mrs. Peter While, with "Mrs. Peter" lu a. new bonnet and "Mr. Peter" in a new pair or nankeens, will also be presented.

CITY ' INTELLIGENCE. - PALM SUNDAY. V'J .:J. 'i jts History Its Manner of Celebration Slow It will be Observed In tats City To-morrow, ,:.'' On account of the number of holy days whloh axe included In the last week of Lent, tbe final even days of that season are termed "Holy wnk." To-morrow. Its first day. Is dlsttn- KUlsned as "Palm Bunday," because Ills theday on whloh li commemorated the entrance of our Bavloor Into Jerusalem Jnst previous to His crucifixion, when, as will be remembered, tne people went ion a 10 meet mm, oeariug palm leaves In their bands, and crying Hosanna! The ceremonies peoullar to the day bad their origin at an early period in the history of the Church, and although they have fallen into disuse in Protestant oountries sinoe the Refor mation, they are still maintained In tnose which adhere to tbe Roman Catholic faith. In England, prior to tbe Reformation, theday was universally observed, and wlih numerous and peculiar ceremonlec. bo general. In fact, was Its celebration at that time mat a saying came into common repute to the effect that be who did not have in his band a palm on Palm Rnndav would have his hand cut off. Alter tbe Reformation, altnough many of the ceremonials peculiar to the RotnNb. CauroQ were especially forbidden, Henry VIII did not regard that of bearing palms on Patin Bunday as objectionable. Bo in 1634 he declared tbat tne ceremony was one that was not to be con temned or dropped, and It was faithfully ob served by the oleniy until tbe reign of his sue ecssor, Edward VI.' It was ttien left to tne Inclination of the people, and soon ceased to be observed. At the present day the city of Rome on Palm Bunday Is the scene of very impressive cere enonials. Tbouvands of foreigners, many of whom are Protestants, assemble In the city to witness rthem. Tne space behind the blgb altar of BU Peter's Cathedral is carpeted and draped, the altars, pluturf s. and crncldxei like wise (wing pnt In mourning.

At this point tbe priest sprinkles the palms with holy water, and fumes them wltb iaoenne; after which another prayer is offered.

Returning to tbe church, two or four singers leave tbe procesnlon and enter, closing the door and standing with their faces towards those without. Tbey then chant two verses, whloh are repeated by the prlet and the others with out; when they again take up the strain, and It is oontinued in regular alternation. When this Is concluded, the sub-deacon knocks at tbe door with tbe fool of the cross, to signify the triumphant entry, not only into Jeiusa'om, but Into the Holy City. The door Is thereupon opened, and the procession enters, singing. ''As our Lord entered the Holy City, the Hebrew children, declaring tbe resurreciionot life with E aim-branches, cried out, Hosanna In' the igbest." The ceremony then closes with the celebra tion of the Mass, all the people holding the palms in their bands during the reading or singing of the Passion. THE STATE MILITIA.

Q. C. WISHART'B PINE TREB TAB CORDIAL t We answer 1. It cures not by stopping cough, but by loosening and assisting nature to throw off the unhealthy matter collected about, the throat and bronchial tubes, causing Irritation and oough. 2. Host Throat and Lnng Kernel teg are oompoced of anodynes, which allay the oough for awhile, but by their constringent effoota, the fibres beoome hardened, and the unhealthy fluids oosgulate and are retained in the sys tem, causing dieeaoe beyond the control of our most eminent physicians. 3. The Pice Tree Tar Cordial, with Its Assistants, are preferable, because they re move the causa of Irritation of the muooua membrane and bronchial tubes, assist tha lungs to act and throw off the unhealthy se cretions, and purify the Hood, thus scientifically making the cure perfect.

Q. C. WWU ART'S MEDICINES: Reading, Pa. Db. Wibhabt Dear Sir: I have been cured, as I believe, of Consumption by the use of your Pine Tree Tar Cordial an j I was so very low, and had been sick so long; when I oommenoed to use it, that I had but little confidence in anything. I had tried many of the advertised medioines, aa well aa the prescriptions of several eminent physi cians. ' - My symptoms were a dry, haoking cough,' which I had had for several years, with night sweats and frequent severe bleeding of the lungs. I waa so very weak that I oould attend to no business, and had pain almost constantly through my breast and shoulders. About four years ago my brother, who resides in Philadelphia, told me he believed your medicine would cure me, and I commenced its use. I was aware that my disease had gona so far that I could not erf-foot to be cured in a few days; but in a short time I felt muoh tetter so muoh so that I was able to attend to my business; and, after continuing its use for several months, I recovered my health and strength perfectly. I am convinced that this Is not a mora transient relief, but a oomplete and permanent onre, as I have been gradually growing stronger . ever sinoe, and I attribute Ft solely to your . Pine Tree Tar Cordial, for I know that I must used your great medioine. ' I wonld say to those who are similarly afflicted,' espeoially in cases like mine, where the disease has run for a long time, that although one bottle wil relieve, it will not effect a cure; but by perse vering in iu nse, I believe it will restore yon to health, if you are not beyond the power medioine. Mas. L. S. Saixadk, ' No. 658 Fenn street, Reading, Pa. DYSPEPSIA! DYSPEPSIA! ' Da.' Wibhabt: I have been a constant sufferer with dyspepsia for the Tast eighteen years, during which time I cannot say I ever enjoyed a perfeotly well day. There were times when the symptoms were more aggra vated than at others, and then it seemed it wonld be a great relief to die. . I had at all times an unpleasant feeling . in my head, but latterly my sufferings so muoh inoreased that I became almost unfit for business of any kind; my mind was continually filled with gloomy thoughts and forebodings, and if I, attempted to change their current by reading, at onoe a , sensation of ioy coldness, in oonneotion with a dead weight, as it were, rested upon my brain; also a feeling of Biokness would occur at tha stomach,' and great pain in my eyes, acoom- Jianied with which waa tha continual fear of osing my reason. I also ezperienoed great lasBituae, ueDiiity, ana nervousness, which made it difflonlt to walk by day or sleep by night. Ibeoaine averse to society, and dis posed only to seclusion, and having tried tha skill of a number of eminent physicians of various schools, finally, came to the eonolusion that for the disease at my present age (forty five years) there waa no cure In ear.isten.oe. But, through the interference of Divine Provi dence, to whom I devoutly offer my thanks, I at last found a sovereign remedy in your Dys pepsia Pills and Tar Cordial, which seem to have effectually removed almost the last trace of my long list of ailments and bad feelings, and in their place health, pleasure, and ooa tentment are my every-day companions. . j , Jambs M.
