(COWAN ON THE STAGE. | JThe engagement of Andrew Johnson (or Jackson) Rogers in the lower House terminates with the .present season, and iff order to testify to his patrons his ap preciation of their liberality, he has en-. gaged the services of Master Edgar Cowan, the Great Pennsylvania Contor tionist, to give a series of performances in the Senate, on the same magnificent scale as those with which Mr. Rogers delighted the public last winter and spring. Master Cowan made his first appearance yesterday. was some y of the awkwardness inseparable from the production of a new piece, and it was evident that Cowan would do better after another rehearsal. The piece is called “Cowan’s Crinoline; or, The P etition of the Petticoats.” Cowan played the part of the “widow’s friend,” which was originally written for Thomas B. Florence, and was well supported by Mesdames Wade, Yates, the Anthony Sisters (Susan B. and Henrietta B.), Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Frances D. Gage. The plot of the play is very sim. pie. The scene is cast in Utopia, where a number of the male inhabitants have for centuries been deprived of their pro per attire, and at last become clamorous for their rights. The “widow’s friend” (Cowan) is opposed to their claim and goes to work to ridicule their efforts to have their manhood recognized.) He raises a.demand that if these men are allowed to put on their "browsers, his female allies shall have the same privi lege. This is the whole plot. There were several “gags” introduced by Cowan with the happiest effect. In « • one place he remarked that he was in ’ favor of a change “bo as to embrace women,’’which brought down the house. XiM -®- e pteyfaffy rallies Henrietta B. An -133 ihony aa. the death of her husband, j£F with the most amusing comi- K cality. Then he falls in with K>a young fellow named Charles Sumner, WF ■ has just been married, and he pokes " ihe mupt exquisite and delicate fun at the bashful youth over “the change in his domestic relations.” He off qnite a good pun on the FreD.ch word for petticoat, jnpe, by calling tkie system which he pretended to advocate, the “Jupeterian system of legislation.” In the second act, a stupid,old,matter of-fact countryman ( Morrill ) comes in and explains to the audience that Cowan is an arch-deceiver, and that they must not believe a word he says. This hit at. the supposed credulity of the public was very favorably received, and Morrill's part, though quite a subordinate one, was as well done as anything in the piece. In the third and last act the Grand Vizier of Utopia ( Reverdy Johnson) waddles in and makes a proclamation that all women who sign “The Petition of the Petticoats,” will be allowed to put on the trowsers, but that they must also serve in the militia for seven years. This announcement constitutes the de nouement of the play, and asthecurfeain falls, the women are seen flying to their sewing machines, cradles and crochet , needles, while Cowan and Jack Rogers slowly sink into an abyss of red, white and grey fires. The next performance of Cowan has not yet been announced, but the success of his first appearance in low comedy will undoubtedly induce a rapid series of similar pieoes during the coming season. ' KOMAAtE ASB BEAIiItT. Nathaniel Hawthorne was,of all Ame rican authors, the most prone to com- plain that life in this country was “hot, arid, dusty/’ and that in order to tinge his pages with the hues of romance; to I gild them with the glories of imagina tion, it was essential either to throw the date, tone and color of a story two cen turies back, or else seek climes as distant as Crusoe’s Island, or storied Italy,or the Australian bush,or that farofFNorthern peak from whose top the sun may be descried at midnight. Hence Haw thorne revelled in narratives about the Puritans-about the regicides of Charles I, who sought .American shores; about gloomy charcoal-burners in Bohemian forests; about people half human and half animal who sportamong the vines,ruins and statue-thronged palaces of Rome and the Campagna. As a visitor to England, he never thought of the nineteenth cen tury; he mused among the hoary church yards and villages so “tottering with age that they.have forgotten the names of their founders.” To him an alms-house, founded by the Earlof Leicester, with in- W. H. DUTTON mates all decorated .with “the bear and s taff, ’.’ was more interesting than theg reat railroad station at Euston Square, Lon- don, or the vastdocks at Liverpool. In a few instances, however, Hawthorne’s eye caught the picturesque side of mo dern American life. We may instance his sketch of a Boston restaurant, in “Blithedale Romance,” stnd we could also cite a few passages from “The House of Seven Gables.” 'Still, his general tendency was toward glorifying the Past is romantic, rather than the Present. ; A few American authors have boldly confronted “the living present," and have written stories of the day, of more or less ability; but they have generally been so anxious to advance a theory, or the interests of a party, that they have sacrificed the artistic portion of the work to their one idea. Leaving Cooper, living, Dr. Bird, Kennedy and one or two others out of sight, we can think of no writer of American birth who has fairly attempted to make life on the Western Continent romantic—to give it “the light that never wason seaor land.” W. H. DUTTON. Herman Melville has, in his sea tales, mingled practicality and the supernat ural, but the life he although technically pertaining to the American marine, might as well belong to a navy in the moon. He has made Fins and Swedes,Manxmen and Lascars, Japanese and Malays,Negroes from the Roanoke, and elegant, castaway gentlemen from British Bt. Albans, mingle in a wild whirl of fancy,along with his Nantucket sailors and his, Gay-Head Indian har pooners. Melville goes clear off 1 to the Pacific for his romance,and is not satis fied unless chasing a phantom whale near the South pole, or sailing in an open boat a thousand miles from. land. In Charles Dickens’s Christmas story, “Mugby Junction,” the reader is shown that romance lies around us like, as •Wordsworth says, heaven does “in our infancy.” He grapples with the most prosaic place on earth—a great railroad junction—and by the spell of imagina tion, inspired by kindly human feeling, he transforms the dull spot to . one of what might be historic interest. He pic tures a solitary traveler, alighting there without a purpose. His life has.been one of disappointment and sordid grinding. He becomes interested in the cleaner of the lamps of the cars which pass thq sta tion. He finds that “Mr. Lamps” sings comic songs at abed-side. He finds that Mr. Lamps has a daughter, a hopeless cripple. To her the songs are sung and she sings songs to little children. The pur poseless traveler concludes to stay at or about Mugby Junction, and the result of his subsequent observations, communi. cated to “Mr. Lamps”and his daughter, is seen in a series of as romantic railroad stories as ever were heard, and yet which could be paralleled in the life of many an engineer, conductor or brakesman. The finger of genius is ail that is required to make the com monest life assume a shape worthy of the attention of the world, and just as death makes the corpse of the beggar as majestic as that of the millionaire, so that touch is all that is required to immortalize a character,high or low, if it possesses the element of individuality. Railways have not destroyed romance, They have intensified it, and from Phi ladelphia to Fort Riley or Omaha, one can pick up a thousand narratives of real life along the iron rails,as bewildering as any thing in the Arabian Nights. OMITTING} HAMIEf, The Committee on Fire and Trusts had another meeting yesterday,and pro ceeded with the consideration @f the new fire ordinance. The Chief Engineer of the Fire Department, who was pre sent, said that the firemen would not consent, under any circumstances, that they should be deprived of the power of electing their own officers. The com mittee then obligingly struck out the pro vision in the bill making the chief and assistant engineers elective by City Councils, and so the part of Hamlet was omitted from the play. This provision is really all of moment that the ordi nance contains, and that has not been j tried substantially before and found to be a flat failure, so far as any salutary results were accomplished, and City Councils had better kill the bill out right than pass it in such a wishy washy condition as the amendments of the committee would leave it in. The firemen, withmuchshow of right, insist that they should be allowed to elect their own officers; experience proves that officers thus elected will not perform their duty fearlessly and effi ciently. In this dilemma is there no municipal Alexander to cut the Gordian knot and solve all these firemen difficul ties as they have been solved in New York, Baltimore, Cincinnati and Ban Francisco? ■■-Eg.
