For Instance, when the streets at an early hour yes

Ion aad celebration of more than ordinary Intercut
were In progress, what la the matter? wm the first
question erery one asked. Finally, one of those '
well-Informed fossils who give the tone to all the In
ferior strata below hlra, happened to hit npon the
Idea ef lis being Eradiation day. The hit was ex
tremely successful. Evacuation day It was, and
tight martially and patriotically was it observed. For
the eighty-sixth time flags were simultaneously run
np all over the city In honor of that event; the Ore
department and the military turned out. The north
west oornor of Fourteenth street and Fifth avenue
was particularly "noticeable In this connection. A
gayly-draped stand was erected there, for the accom
modation of the Mayor, who reviewed the troops.
Raws III Wild Oati.
Mr. Cornelius Vanderbllt, Jr., has been so conside
rate as to write and send to one of the dally papers
Tor publication a denial of some statements bearing
rather hard npon his character. This letter is a
model of modosty and humility. Upon reading It,
you wonder how It happens that so abamefaoed a
yonth could possibly have so far forgotten his
blushes as to rush into print. According to the tenor
Of this letter, whloh la published for the information
of the pHblio, Mr. Cornelius Vanderbllt, Jr., is made
the subject of false reports that "run like wildare
over the city." His act "aro scrutinized and vlll
- fled aa though he were some distinguished charac
ter," and he asks the "indulgence of his friends and
the pnbllo nntll be can prove to them by his notions
that he Is better than they think hlra. In fact, all
his wild oats are sown, "and he is trying to earn a
respectable living like any other private citizen."
All this is very charming, but it Is intensoly like cry
ing before ono la hurt So far from the young Mr.
Vanderbllt's aots being scrutinized and vilified, not
one reader of a newspaper la ten thousand la aware
of his existence, and would only identify him as a
living reality by the accident of his name. When
the pabllo takes a proround Interest in the question
as to whether or not he has sown his wild oats, it
will be quite time enough for him to be forthcoming
with his explanation.
Philadelphia Ntndcnt.
. Let the Philadelphia Btudents take heart. They are
not alone In the world. Bellevue Medical College
has produoed their prototypes. Some of the "boys"
there, gathering courage from the. Philadelphia ex
ample, hissed the female students at "that samo,"
and threw spltballa at them. This furnished the text
for several homilies and philippics at the Woman's
Suffrage Association. Mrs. Hallack indulged iu a
diatribe against mon generally, and Mrs. Blake and
Mrs. Somerly put In their little platitudes. Mrs. Nor
ton disdained the episode altogether, and thought
that Congress ought to assume the power of con
ferring the franchise upon women. Mrs. Wllbour
quoted the recent speech of Mr. Sumner In Worces
ter, wherein he said, In advocating the fifteenth
amendment, that Congress had power to confer suf
frage npon all citizens. She dwelt npon tho virtues
of the Dwlght Street (New Haven) Dobatlng Club, a
ocloty of leading citizens of that city, and of tho
New Haven Law School, both of whloh, In their dls-
cnsslona, had decided In favor of womun suffrage.
In oonolusion, the meeting's attention was turned to
those medical Btudents again, and a resolution was
passed against those in Philadelphia who had so
dishonored their manhood In seeking to dishonor
womanhood. It was decided that their names should
.' be obtained for the purposes of publication, besides
those of any other student, here or in Philadelphia,
misbehaving in future.
Ist fala Wl.
Messrs. Stelnway have an extremely nffiibio clerk,
whose only misfortune is the necessity which com
pels him to wear a wig. On Wednesday he came out
of the store to hand two ladles to their carriage.
Both are distinguished belles. One of them oirered
him her hand, and (the wind blowing furiously at the
time) gave a wicked wink to her companion, who
also otfered him her digits. Embarrassed for a mo
ment, he finally took their hands in his, leaving his
wig at the mercy of the wind. It was a capricious
wind to submit to, for a sudden blast, as though In
confederacy with the two ladles, in a moment
whisked It from his head and boro it off in the direc
tion ef the Aoademy. Mr. would have willingly
lost his head to oblige the ladies, but his wig is a
different matter, and he has not yet forgiven them.

MUSICAL. AJI IIIA3IATIC.
"CJnrrlck" at the (;faesnut.
The play produced last evening at tho Chesnut Is
ono of Robertson's earliest dramatlo efforts. It is an
adaptation from a French adaptation of a German
adaptation of a pretended incident In the life of tho
great English actor, so that it will be seen that the
piece la aa far removed from originality as it is from
any Just claim to its title. The main incidents of the
plot rest npon a tradition to the effect that a young
lady from the country fell in love with Gar rick ou
seeing him play "namlet," "Romeo," and other
romantic roles, and that on the solicitation of her
friends he undertook to dispel her Illusion and cure
her of her sentimental fancy for him by playing the
part of a drunkard. In the play Garrtek is made to
conceive an attachment to the young lady also from
seeing her Intently watching his acting, and
to . almost repent of bis promise to cure
her when he finds that she and his unknown admirer
are one and the same person. Ho, however, goes
through with his task, but the damsel discovers the
trick, and also that "Garrlck" is in love with her.
She therefore runs away from homo to escape a
marriage with a drunken squire that herfathor
would force npon her, and puts herself under Oar
rick'i protection. The father follows and finds her
in the actor's apartments, and overhears him advis
ing her to return home, and at the same time he
discovers the unworthlness of the other suitor, ami
the curtain comes down on a good old comedy de
iioutmenf the lovers clasped in each other's arms,
and the aged father murmuring over them "Bless
ye. me children." This piece was first produced lu
London by Sothcrn, for whom llobertson wrote it.
; 'lr. IC U Davenport and other actors have por
"T fwm it a number 6 times iu this country, hut It
Ihas not been represented so often as not to be a
novelty to most playgoers. It 14 not
by any means equal In merit to sonic
of Robertson's subsequent efforts, but it is neatly
written, the situations are effective, and It presents
,S a number of good acting characters. The heroine,
; "Ada Ingot," was creditably personated by Miss Jen
' ule Anderson, and Mr. Jack, who excels as a repre
sentative Of a solid English merchant or tradesman,
acted the part of "Simon Ingot" lnjexcellent style.
There were some very good points about tho"Oarrlck"
of Mr. Sheridan, but this gentleman Is too slow and
labored in his manner, and he would Improve greatly
if he could put a little more animation and easo Into
his acting. The other parts were reasonably well
personated, and the plecewent off with much ap
plause. The amusing little comedietta of Two Can Play at
That Game commenced the eveuiug's entertainment,
and it was admirably acted by Miss Kecne, Mr. Mor
fluunt, and Mr. MoManns. Indeed, or the two pieces
tnto was decidedly the best, and at the conclusion
the curtain was rung up In auswer to the hearty ap
plause of the audience.

From the specimens of humor before us In the shape

very amusing. Lovers of fun can saroly venture

However much opinions may vary concern
ing the theological Importance of the delibera
tions of the approaching Council at Rome, It
seems likely that they will produce at least a
philological result which, to somo profane out
siders, may appear even more interesting than
the solemn alllrmatlon of the Papal Infallibility.
Tho deliberations are to le carrlod on in Latin,
but the pronunciation of this language differs so
greatly In different countries that it was fore
seen that if each of the numerous prelates
gathered together from the four corners of the
earth were to adopt his national mode of pro
nunciation, the assembly would degenerate Into
a modern Babol. A committee has, therefore,
been appointed to fix a standard pronunciation
which each prelate will be obliged to learn and
use during tho debates. If one could hope that
their decision might eventually be adopted In all
European schools, tho problem of a nniversal
language for the educated clusses would at last
be solved. At present a German and a French
man, each Ignorant of the other's language, are
debarred from meeting on the neutral ground of
Latin, except in writing.

END OF 1ST0 FOR FOUR DOLLARS.
Thorn wit are acquainted with Mr. Col I las' inimi
table skill la weaving a plot, or in investing all his
characters with a fasolaatlon whloh renders the
reader reluctant to part with them, will not need to
be assured that this story promises to be by far the
most attractive of the year. There Is no one equal
to Mr. Collins In the power of sustaining the Interest
of any tale he nndortakes to relate. All his heroes
aad heroines live In the memory, and the forth
coming story will be even richer than any former
production of the same pea In this great feature.
X. I". Time.
WUkle Collins has scarcely a living superior In the
higher realms of Imaginative sensationalism. The
plot of his stories, though always Intricate and appa
rently Involved, is constructed with such consum
mate knowledge of dramatlo effect, that the reader's
curiosity is kept constantly on tho alert without
being wearied or perplexed. From a perusal of the
advance sheets of a portion of "Man and Wife," we
are lod to anticipate a novel second In Interest to
none of his previous works. .V. Y. Tribune,
It Is some time since the plllc appetite has en
joyed the excitement of a novel by this master.
From the opening of this ene, we should say that It
will be equal to Its predecessors In strange and Im
penetrable Interest. N. Y. Sun.
Like all of Wllkio Collins' stories, It Is luterosttug
from the start It Is evident in the Initial chapter
that the plot will turn upon that Infamous law upon
the British statute-book which Invalidates, under
certain circumstances, marriages performed by
Roman Catholic clergymen. Undoubtedly It Is the
design of Mr. Collins to make his novel the Instru
ment for breaking down this abuse just aa Dickens
has used his pen to effeot social and legal reforms In
England. Two scenes in the beginning of this new
story, written In an Intensoly dramatlo manner,
draw the interest of the reader to a few characters
boldly and sharply limned, while the promise la fairly
held out of a feast for tbe lovers of the "realistic"
in modern fiction. y. Y. World.
Wllkle Collins has, beyond question, no rival in the
art of telling an exciting and absorbing story. There
Is a positive fascination In the art with which he
compels his readers to follow him through the mazes
ef some subtle plot, in which human passions and
crafts take the place of the supernatural mechanism
or the earlier days of story-telling. Wllkle Collins'
new talo, "Man and Wife," promises, so far as one
may venture to guess, to have somewhat deeper pur
pose than most or his other works, while it will
doubtless be as interesting and absorbing as any.
y. Y, Independent,
Judging from the four opening chaptors, this story
will even surpass In effective interest all the other
works of the author, and will cause Ilarper's Weekly
to be looked for with more eagerness than ever by
Its myriads of readers. Suffice It to say, that
those peculiarities of construction thatyharactcrlze
the author, and la whloh he excels all the novelists
of the time, are here displayed In full force, and that
they indicate his Intention to command the utmost
attention of his readers. Boston Traveller.
Mr. Collins Is a writer or rare fascination. .V. Y.
Commercial Advertiser,
It is said to be the best eil'ort of the author. Bos

The novel opens very spiritedly and dramatically.
Uuquestlonolly It will rind millions or readers iu this
country. PhiUulelphia City Item.
Wllkle Collins' new serial story in Harper's Weekly
will add a special attraction to this all-popular
periodical. -V. Y. Evening Hail.
Long looked ror, come at last. For some
months to come, this tale will be a great attraction
In Harper's Weekly. J'hUadclphia lresx.
After Dickens, there Is no living noveliBt who en
Joys a popularity which approaches thut of Wllkle
Collins. Those of his novels which have been ror
some time before the public retain the favor which
they received at their first appearance, while a new
nerltil from his fertile pen insures a wide circulation
to the periodical In which It may appear. Even so
popular a publication aa Harper's Weekh has just re
ceived an Immense increase In Its circulation, sim
ply in conseqnence of the announcement thut Mr.
Collins' new novel, "Man and Wife," will appear ex
clusively In its columns. The first chapters
of his now novel promise exceedingly well, and
there Is llttlo doubt but that It will prove as Interest
ing and popular as Its predecessors. The very pecu
liarities or Mr. Collins' stylo render his novels ad
mirably adapted for publication iu serial form. The
Bteaiiy, onward movement of the story keeps the
reader In constant expectation, and the pleasure
which ho derives from reading ono Installment only
Increases the Interest with wiilch he looks for the

A Kplll In th Vlririnta Krpnhllrfta OoaventUa-
Proerwdlna-fl of the Heccder.
Richmond, Nov. 26. A mooting of tho
coders from the Republican Convention took
place to-day at tho oftlce of the Utatr Journal,
the Republican organ. Sixty members were
present, about one-half of tho original convec
tion. James II. Clemeuts, former candidate for
JLioutenont-Oovernor on the Republican ticket,
was chosen chairman. J. II. Platte, member oa
Congress elect, recited the causes of withdrawal,
which, ha said, were mainly found In a determi
nation of a party in the convention to choke oC
by fair or unfair moans a large nutabor of monk-,
bcrs presont. ,
lie thought the majority report, adopted by
force, was a direct censure on the President and
Congress, and In opposition to the Republican
party of the country. lie believod that if tho
Republican party of Virginia could bo put ia
accord with the Republican party of the count-
try, and mado so that mon of liberal viows couli
join it, it could carry the Stato. The declara
tions in tho address to Congress about tho daa
ger to Republicans in tho State were untrao
and Congress would discover the deception, t
the ultimate Injury of tho Republican party. .
John Jenkins, Chairman ot the Republic
State Central Commltloe, stated that the things. .
stated of tho people of Virginia in the addreaa
wore untrue, and that tho lifo ol a Republic
was as safe in Virginia as in New York.
O. A. nine, loader of the Republicans initio
Constitutional Convention, said this movement
was not wholly tho result of yesterday'a pro
cccdlngs, but of a growing desire among the
people that the Republican party In Virginia
should be put upou a liberal and a respectable- .
basis, by which it might bo enabled to carry the
State.
The general drift of the speaker was, that the
times had changed, and that the Republican
party of New York must be put In accord with
the Republican party of the country. Proscrip
tion and reckless denunciation of the people of
the State mu?t be dropped as an obsolete idea,
and the party must bo mado strong and respect
able enough to carry tho Stato on its owa
merits, as the party docs in other States.
All the speakers disclaimed the idea of form- -ing
another party, and only desired to reorga
nize the one now existing. A committee of
sixteen was appointed to call a Republican Con
vention, at such time as it may think proper,for
reorganization.
