What li the reason that the expression of thanks
and the gratification of a Rood appetite always fro
together? Why la It not as easy to fast and be grate
ful as to be feast and be frrateful? Whenco comes
It that we never open our mouths In praise, upon
ct occasions, without the condition that they are to
toe Immediately filled with good things being under
stood? Who ever fasts on Thanksgiving Day, I
should like to know? So that you read the Presi
dential and Gubernatorial proclamations, and go to
church and listen to a sermon a little longer and
more statistical than usual, you can settle yourself
lown to your Thanksgiving ducks and currant
Jelly with a quiet conscience. That gratitude is an
affecting sense of future favors Is never more
unmistakably proved than on Thanksgiving Day.
What do we give thanks for? For the rich harvest
we have gathered In? For our commercial success
as a nation? For the peace In which we have been
permitted to sit under our own vines and llg-trees?
Not mnch I Our national gratitude, I fear, takes the
form of self-complaccucy that we are cute and
plucky, and that all the good things we want we are
able to provide for ourselves. The future favors ire
look for are the services we do ourselves, and for
these we are abundantly grateful.
Lord Dick Had ford Herbert I.e Hoy Alrmlr-y
and his wife have been gracing the theatres with
their presence since their return to this city. Of
what has Mr. Radford to be ashamed ? That is the
question. lie has done no more In real life than that
oetic Impostor "Claude Melnotte" is applauded for
doing on the stage borrows a patrician but fictitious
name aud obtains a II rat-clans bride on the strength
f it. A bogus Prince of Como in Gotham Is no
worse than the same character in Lyons; and if Miss
Martin continues to "like the picture," no one has
.right to blame her for fighting her way out of the
atrugg'e between love and pride to such a termina
tion. Whenever couple docs put in an anpear
ance among the orchestra seats, you may bo Silre the
.lorgnettes . of all the knowing ones In tho house are
levelled at them. Cheek Is tho genius of the nine
teenth century, and the man who travels on It lms a
througU ticket that carries him anywhere.
Those Broadway Drivers.
It sometimes happens that an unlucky Individual
discovers upon getting Into a Broadway Btage and
you will find stages scarce anywhere else that be
has no change about him. The necessary postage
decimals are not forthcoming, the conductor of the
coach begins to get impatient, and what between the
bell-sounding of the fractious driver and the ludis
coverabillty of the fractional currency, the passenger
loses himself In profound depths of perplexity, and
finally fishes up a one-dollur bill, and looks his
neighbors askant In the face, mutely appealing to
them to change it. Occasionally some quiet-looking
man, one of Nature's Chesterfields, takes a ten-cent
note out of his own pocket and insists upon the em
barrassed passenger's accepting it. As a rule,
however, the proceedings are not characterized
by Buch a graceful amenity as this, and the
one dollar bill Is finally handed up to the grumbling
Jehu without, the passenger resuming his seat, pop
ping his eyes constantly up in the direction of the
money-hole, and holding himself In readiness to re
ceive the change. Clock after block Is passed ; pas
sengers get In and out; other fare Is handed up and
other change returned ; but that belonging to the
one-dollar bill remains unheard from. At length the
angry passenger applies his month to the money-hole
and indignantly requests "that ninety cents." lie Is
told that they have been handed to him, and the
1 driver drives on. " Most of the passengers, per
haps all who were in at the time the note
was handed up, have since got out; and
the question becomes one of veracity between the
driver and the claimant of the ninety cents. Oue of
these cases has Just come up before Judge Dowling,
the driver swearing that the money was refunded,
the passenger being equally positive that it was not.
The Tombs sphinx made short work of the diffi
culty.' He refrained from imprisoning the driver, on
account of his family whom he supported, but ad
ministered a reprimand that will not bo without a
wholesome effect upon the Broadway drivers. My
Thanksgiving advice to every reader of The Tele
graph who finds himself in a Broadway stage Is,
don't hand up a dollar note If you don't wish to run
the risk of being dragged into court, or not getting
back the change. .
The Dollar Htores.
We all know those of us at least who have read
our Bibles that the way or a ship at sea, the way of
a serpent on the rock, the way of an eagle in the
air, and the way of a man with a maid, are very won
derful things. There Is another equally wonderful,
and It Is the way of our country cousins with the
Broadway dollar stores. What credulity! what
simple-mindedness 1 How blindly they believe they
are going to get fifty times their money's worth !
How they answer by return of post the circulars of
swindling agents 1 How confidently they expect to
' be In the receipt of patent enamelled watches for
the sum of one do'larl how they treasure the printed
lists of valuables, as though they were magic rings
which one only has to rub to evoke a genus ! It's no
use talking to such people. Yon point
out the snare thai is spread for
them, but they walk right Into It never
theless. Broadway Is lined with these dollar-store
swindles, all of which appear to be doing a pros
perous trade. When our country cousin does come
to town, and find himself Inside one of these palaces,
particularly if it la in the evening, I suppose the
mixture of gas and glass Is bewildering, and he
trembles with indecision when he finds himself
confronted with a saucy-spoken saleswoman, who
looks him through and through as perforatlngly as
though she had as many eyes as the potatoes he has
Inst come from digging. Holders of tickets which
promise enamelled watches will be interested la
learning that these invaluable chronometers consist
of a circular slip of paper, upon which the hours are
' indicated, and around which the hands never move,
but constantly point to one hour. These hands, being
quite Immovable, may be said to "keep" time in a
double sense. The circular slip of paper Is enclosed
In a galvanized tin cover, aud precisely the same
stile of elegant trinket la sold by street peddlers for
twelve-and-a-half cents apiece. Borne public show
of indlguatlon is periodically got up against the
swindle, but it soon dies out, and the dollar Btores
remain standing, glaring demonstrations of the coun
try public's gullibility.
Aniuaninenle.
I have two Interesting items of news, "never be
fore made public." In the first place, the New Or
leans French Opera Troupe commence an engage
ment at the French Theatre in this city, next March.
Two months later, in May, the celebrated Italian
tragedian. Ernesto Rossi, with a full Italian com
pany, fulfils an engagement at one of the theatres In
this city (which one Is not yet determined), under the
management of one of our most successful impres
sarii. It is in the tragedies of Alflerl and Shake
speare that Signer Rossi Is most celebrated, and in
one of these he win mane nis aeoui. am uaha.

tiTh. Wnrltlnsr Men" at the Cbeannt.
a. nw Jersey clergyman has Just published a work
against popular amusements In general and the thea
, tres in particular, in which,- amoug other rather re
markable statements.he says that "no manager would
tn nrHimt a olar which should brand vice as
infamous and exalt virtue and honor; if he did, his
,..iimi,' would ao out in the midst of the perform-
- n.... .nirriiv muttering that when they want a ser-
uum they will go to the church for it." It la, JuBt
auch litnorant bigotry as thlB that deprives the usual
nninit utterances asalnst the theatres of any
weight whatever. Every theatre-goer knows that such
. a sUtemi nt as the above Is false in every pui umu,
and that it could oulv emanate from a person wno un
dertakes to discuss and condemn what ho knows
nothinir at all alout. If this reverend gentlemau
could have been lnduoed to visit the t'hesuut Btreet
Theatre last evening, and to sit out the performance,
It Is likely that some of his Ideas would have under
gone a radical change. He would have seen the
' bouse crowded to its utmost capacity, aud giving
their undivided attention, with constant evidences of
hearty sympathy, , to a play the chief merit of which
is that it does exalt vlrtne and honor, and brands an
Infamous vice by depicting Its influences and effects
in the strongest possible colors.
Ths Workingmen of tfew York;' or, The dime of
Strong Drink Is a direct and forcible appeal in favor
of temperance, and lor practical effect as an exposi
tion of the evils of drunkenness It is of more value
than any temperance lecture or sermon that could
be delivered. Tho piece la well known, as It has
frequently been performed; and if not one of the
best, It Is one of the most popular of its class. It Is
usual to localize it in whatever city or town
It may be performed, and two or three seasons ago
It was brought out In good style at the Chesnut,
until the title Of Tht Workingmen of Philadelphia,
It is not a matter of much consequence, but Miss
Keene would not have done amiss to have
made this alteration In the title, and
to have Introduced the necessary localisms
to adapt it to this city. This piny, It is true, de
pends In a great decree for Us success on Its dra
matic effects, but its popularity is due quite as much
to Its moral and the appeals that It makes to popu
lar sympathies and tastes. It is certainly not a very
good pluy from a literary or art standpoint, an I as
a nrotest against the vice of drunkenness it Is In
ferior to such pieces as Janet Pride and Madeline.
It is good of Its kind, however, and much better
than many of tho so-called "sensation" pieces of
the day, and its influence cannot be otherwise th in
beneilclal upon the class of persons that will chlelly
be attracted by it.
Tho performance last night went oif with spirit,
and the actors went through their parts with an
energy appropriate to the subject, aud acquitted
themselves to the satis. action of the large audleuce
in attendance.
"The ftlngle Flute" nnd "Fidello" by the Ger
man Troupe.
On Wednesday evening Mozart's opera of the
Magic flute was performed by the German troupe at
the Academy of Music, and last night Beethoven's
Fidelio wafl given, Bath of these, worn are of such,
a hlgU order or moM that it fe a hiatter of regret
with lovers or music that they are not often per
formed, and yet they present such dlillculty iu the
execution that, unless executed In very superior
style by artists of first-rate ability, It Is much butter
that they should not be attempted.
The Magie Flute Is based upon one of those "wonder"
stories which were at one time, and perhaps still are,
extremely popular on the German stage,but which are
bo devoid of merit or real interest that It Is a matter
for regret that such a composer as Mozart did not
choose something better as the subjeot of one or his
most charming compositions. In spite or the Intri
cacies or a peculiarly stupid and uninteresting plot,
however, the music of the Magie Flute will always
obtain for It a high place In the list of standard
operas, and ir worthily sung it will always command
appreciative applause. But little, however, can
be said In avor or the performance or Wednesday
evening, as the music was so entirely beyond
the range of the singers that the performance was
almost as much of a burlesque as the performance of
one of Shakespeare's tragedies by the Walnut Street
Theatre company, when they are trembling beneath
the frowns or Mr. Forrest. Madame Frlederlcl,
Madame Hotter, and Messrs. Illmmer and Formes
are to be commended for conscientious efforts to do
their best, but otherwise there was little worthy of
pralBe in the efforts of the evening, the orchestra
and chorus in particular being very inefficient.
Fidelio, which was given last evening, is undoubt
edly the finest opera ever written. A simple and pa
thetlo subject is Illustrated with the skill of a master,
and this noble composition can only be characterized
by stating that It Is Shakespearian in every sense of
the term. No one who has ever heard this great
work can ever forget the magnificent quartette in
the first act, "Mir 1st so wouderbar." the prisoner's
chorus, the solo by "Florestan" In the second act,
the grave-digging scene, or the recognition of the
husband and wife. Not only are the characters all
Individualized, but each Bhade of emotion in the
drama is expressed with a grandeur, a pathos, and a
depth of reeling that are as wonderful as they are
admirable.
This work has a peculiar charm, of which it can
not be deprived even by an unworthy performance,
but it is not agreeable to listen to such an effort as
that ot last evening. Madame Johannsen la the only
"Leonora" on the stage, aud she certainly enters Into
the spirit of the part with line appreciation of its
dramatic requirements. Her voice, however, Is in
adequate to the interpretation of the music, and her
personation Is therefore far from satisfactory. It is
but Justice to say that the other artists endeavored
to do their best, but that best tell far short of a rea
sonable standard of excellence. In Fidelio much
depends upon the chorus, and much more upon the
orchestra, and It was In these particulars that the
deficiencies of the performance were most palpably
felt.

Wf. Livk im Thrfe Climati:s.-Ih this country wa
have, at different seasons of tho year, tho temperature tl
tlr9 climates. Out springs tnt,ttmns have a -tnw
and mildness that lb!Sng otly to the temporate zones :
our midsummers are torrid, and our midwinters almost
arctic in their frigidity. These changes. Involving a varia
tion of from ninety to one hundred degrees of Fahrenhoit
during the year, are, upon the whole, conducive to health
and long life, but they tend to entail upon ns some dis
tressing cotnpUtinU which cn only be escaped by the
exercise of due care and the use of a proper antidote
when the system is prediHposed to contract them. Tho
chief and most annoying of these disorders' is dyspepsia,
onco supposed to bo incurable, but which, since the intro
duction of Hostetter'h Stomach Hitters, now about
twenty years ago, has proved to be a perfectly manageable
disease
In the spring and fall, but more especially in the fall, the
symptoms of dyspepsia are generally aggravated. The
profuse expenditure of the animal fluids under the burn
ing sun of summer is apt to leave the stomaoh weak and
indoUnt, and inoompetent to the task of perfect diges
tion. It requires a tonic which will rouse it from its
lethargy, and brace and invigorate without Irritating or
inflaming it. This tonio has been provided in the won
derful vegotable preparation which has replaced, in a great
measure, all the old palliatives formerly prescribed by
physicians, under the false idea that the disorder could
not be radically cured. The success of Hostetter's
Bitters in all the varietios of dyspepsia, acute or chronic,
has effectually exploded this fallaoy. and it is now recom
mended as a specific for indigestion by some of tho most
eminent members of the medical profession.
Sooner or Later a neglected Cold will develop a con
stant Cough, Shortness of Breath, Failing Strength, and
Wasting of Flesh the avant coureurs of Consumption. In
soma instances tho same cause will produce Bronchitis, a
disease of the branches of the windpipe. In all affections
of the Pulmonary Organs, as well as in Bronohial Aff ec
tions, Jayne's Expectorant is both a palliative and a
curative, as the testimony of thousands and its world
wide reputation attest while in Coughs and Colds it acts
speedily, and, when taken according to direotions.promptly
removes them. Why not give this standard remedy an
immediate trial? Sold by all Druggists.
