THAT STATUE A6A15.
Whri Statue Is It at Ballejr'st A Brace
Af Disclaimer from Old Friends of
Alderman McMullen.
fTbe communications given below involve tbe
ubject of tbe Mullen or tbe McMullen statue la
fresh confusion. Oar correspondents write wltb an
earnestness and confidence tbat do them credit,
but It is not certain tbat they are good judges of
uch a muter. While we admit tbat they are
direct, practical men,we doubt if they are fitted
by taste or education to criticize a work of art.

Evening Telegraph
Sir: I was going up Chestnut st last night when
I seed a kind of crowd at a shop winder and stopped
myself natural like to look. In. There was a marble
Image of a gentleman I ara trot acquainted wIU in
the winder that was what the people were looking
at. Soon the crowd droi ped off and I was left there
alone. Jlet then a Police comes up and claps me
not so very light neither on the Bhoulder. "Come
you git out of this," he pays : "You git," he says
'We're been put np to that," he says; "You cant
play that game here, my man" he says. By this
time the Police had get me shoved pretty well across
19th st. "What game are you talking about?" I
Bays, glttlng mad; "What have you been put up
to?" "Why about breaking that winder to get at
Alderman McMullen's statue," says the Police. I
bust right out a lafln when he said that "That's
another of your games Is It?" says he; "but
It wont do" ho says; "You git" he says. "Why
look here old Sijuocslcks " says I, "You dent
mean to Ull me that yon tate tiat feller In the win
der there for Bill McMullen? Hold me, somebody ;"
am I screamed right out. I run that Police so un
merciful that after a while he didn't like It. "Well,"
he says. "It's In the paper, tnat's all I know." "Wot
paper?" T asked, as grave as I could ; and he told me.
"Tde," says f, "I used to ktow a man as was cir
rier ou that paper, and conse&ventlv I feel a sort of
acquaintance with it; I'm going to write to that edl
tor and tell htm that he's toroito.' And so youare
Blrl It's a out an out mistake. Why Lord bless
your bouI, sir, that ain't our Bill 1 Somebody's been
playing It on you, sir they have Indeed. The geuel
man, whoever he Is, Is no more like old BUI Mc
Mullen than you are like the Queen of Sheba, and
they do say that she is as black as a coal-scuttle.
Well, we do each or ns get sold now and then In
our lives, and you've caught It this time,
lours to command
Jerry T .
Mr Editor I seen a piece In your paper saying
that Alderman McMullen had his statue made and I
went up to Baileys store to see It. I dont know
whether youre making fools of people or not but
tbe pelce seemed wrote fair enough and maybe you
meant It. Anyways that Statue alnt any more the
aldermaus than It Is me. If youre on the Square
youre the worst took In man I ever seen. Tnls Is
from one which has knowed t. McMullen from a
babby and he Herein specllies that 1 know It alut the
same peiaon. There alnt any guess work about this
for he lnov$ It Who in the thunder it Is I dont
know but it alnt the Alderman. Why see here this
is all There are some necessary omissions made in
our correspondent's note. -Ed foolishness. I dont
believe you have saw the statue at all. Why see here
Its nothin like the alderman. In the first place it
alnt got enough hair. The clothes alnt the
same nor yet the boots nor the features. Then he
have a kind of ngly look on his mug which Mr. Mc
Mullen alnt. Then everybody knows the alderman
he had bis nose breke helping a friend and no dis
grace to him and the status nose alnt breke though
It ought to be If It portends to be W. McMullen. And
I alnt up to this sort of thing Mister Editor but I
know It aint him and I can lick the man which
says It.

MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC.
Mrs. Bowers as "Douna Diana."
Lively intrigue is the most marked character
lstic of Spanish comedy, and there is always a
well-defined plot and a busy flow of incidents
which make them particularly effective In repre
sentation upon the stage. There is very little
character painting in the Spanish drama,
whereas in tbe best English works character
rather than plot is considered of importance.
Bnt for stage purposes and for the entertain
ment of average audiences the Spanish pieces
have many advantages. Their construction is
generally exceedingly artistic, and the plot and
counterplot and rapid movement that distin
guish them render them vastly amusing.
Love's llaiquerade, the comedy in which Mrs.
D. F. Bowers appeared last evening at the
Walnut, Is an adaptation of one of the most
famous Spanish classic plays, the Disdain Met
uilh Disdain of Moreto. It is one of tbe most
brilliant pieces that has been given to the Eng
lish-speaking stage of late years, and it is so
exceedingly entertaining that it is remarkable
it does not attract crowded houses whenever it
is acted. Tbe idea is that of a proud lady who
scorns love as an idle passion being subdued by
an assumption of pride on the part f her lover,
and the conflict of wits between "Donna Diana"
and "Don Csrsar," who may almost be described
as Spanish counterparts of "Beatrice" and
"Benedick," give rise to a succession of brilliant
scenes which afford the representatives of the
principal characters some admirable opportuni
ties. "Diana" is one of Mrs. Bowers' finest
parts, and her delineation of the conflicting
emotions inspired in the breast of the haughty
beauty whose disdain is conquered by the dis
dain ' of her suitor is artistic in the
extreme. The role is one in which
a capable actress cannot fall to
figure to advantage, and Mrs. Bowers makes the
most of the many opportunities it presents. Mr.
McCollom, who played tbe part of "Don Ca'sar"
last night, is not capable of doing it justice. He
lacks entirely tbe light, airy grace that it re
quires, and while his performance was not with
out merit, it was not strikingly excellent. Mr.
Walcot represented "Perin," the secretary of
"Diana," and the confidant of the two lovers, by
whose assistance the thread of the plot is
woven and then unravelled again, moet admirably,
and his acting was as graceful and elegant as
Mr. McCollom's was heavy and lacking in fine
ness. The City Amutementi,
At the Academy of Music the spectacle of
27ie Black Crook will be represented this eve

General Butler, nnawed by gamblers and
Rebel rings in New Orleans, executed Mulford.
Let General Grant lay a band on the leaders in
the South, men who count their acres by thou
sands and are instigators of assassinations let
the President follow Butler's plan, and you will
never bear of Ku-klux again. (Applause.) Let
the cowards of Carolina know that the Presi
dent is terribly in earnest, and there will be an
end of the Ku-klux.
In reply to a voice asking, "What about carpet-baggers?"
he said, the South is ignorant,
poor, and ruled by departing barbarism, yet
they repel a Northerner who goes down with
everything they want, brains and money, but
sly cunning. The Northerner remains to squeeze
political power out of these pitiful babies.
(Laughter.) If the North has to take
np arms again tbey will stop at no
constitutional restrictions or State lines, but put
the South under the heel of military despotism.
On questions of labor he urged the Republicans
to adopt the labor reform into their platform.
He spoke of corruption la judges and city
officials, and the legions of cowardly
Bhylocks who dip their hands
into the private fortunes of the city are teach
ing the men with bludgeons, aud said the next
time tbe Bowery boys have a riot they may take
it into their heads not to hang negroes to lamp
posts, but to indulge in millionaires.
