AMIVSSIMM Tim ARCIL—The Arch Sire hestre was com pletelyfUlett lard, evening, it well selected ;indicate; eiteeMbled to Avt: t the first repro eentatiou of, a drama e Light at Lae; or the Shadow on the Caseme 'raj good natured critics have antiipated tit- getout upon this play, and, pleasantly summing that it,was one of the very best of modern comedies, have praised it with an , enthusiasm ,born of , something else than a desire to do simple justice to the produc tion as &literary and artistic work. We have' re , frsined from hey allusion ,to it, because prema ture comateudation is , worthless, and, also, be canee the excellence of this special drama was by no means to be taken for granted. In some sesPeets, perhaps, it would have been better, desillte the manifest absurdity of the thing, to, ave eulogized Light at! Last yesterday. In that event, preservation of the lustre of the jewel Consistency, 'weak' have compelled, us to a course which would-have been more pleasing to the dramatist, to the theatrical; folk, and to our selves. „,Nov, alaal a rigorous and unalterable rule, Wig ago establitthed, forbids anything but an honest and exact statement of fact. , It is un pleasant to be severe; even where severity is de manded by justice to ourself, the community and the requirements. 'of art. Therefore, a tender compassion induces us to seek the only, avenue of escape from a moat disagreeable duty, which is to decline to criticize the drama at all. And this course seems beet, for the reason that there is a certain amount of absurdity involved i n s eriously dissecting a play of this character. If a critio might reasonably ask to be excused from discussing at length the merits of Irish dramas, such, for instance, as those in which Barney Willlemie appears, how much better right has he to decline to criticise a drams, which is a mildly ingenious courbination of the familiar incidents of all of Ahem? Besides, there are certain things beyond criticism, being above and beneath it - oftener beneath it—and these cannot be treated simply with justice, because, in the case of the first, it is impossible to award the proper raced of praise, and in the latter too much dignity is , given to contemptible things, while the unhappy, writer becomes liable to the charge of malevo lence and the indulgence of personal spite. We have concluded, therefore, to give simply a synopsis of the events of the drama, and We indulge this disposition partly out of compli ment to the management, who really • deserve credit for the excellent manner in which they havplaced the drama upon the stage. This le about the way it rums: Scene Ist.—Hotel near the lake of Killarney, landlorded Over by a rotund and ruby-faced 'Boldface. Enter an American actor with hie wife and one small trunk. Trunk carried by a Fe l:den, who drops it upon the floor so roughly,that the delicate treatment It has received on board of the steamer is rendered entirely useless, and it breaks open, displaying a scanty theatricalward -robe. loud cheers from the audience, who ima gine that the American actor confines himself en tirely to representations of "Mazeppa." Ameri can actor expresses his wrath classically in ele gant extracts from Shakespeare, but tails to im press the audience with any idea. , of the vast learning of the dramatist, because he uses only phrases with which all are familiar. Enter rotund landlord, apparently for the purpose of giving the American actor a chance to introduce more Shakespearean glue. The plays of Shakespeare not having become the subject of careful study on the part of the Irish peasantry, the rotund landlord is naturally bewildered, and, with apparently good reason, indulges, the belief that the American actor and his wife are raving maniacs, he never having seen, as every body else has, AMOTICAII actors and their wives stamp around hotel parlors like Mr. Forrest in the Mediator, mouthing shreds and patches of bait-forgottrin parts. Scene 11.—Irleh Squire, with a fiery nose and the gout, drinking sour wine with the American actor, who •naturally has, at once stepped into the beet society. ' Actor's wife on the sofa 'with Squire s wife r, who sit without ad dreaming a word totheire visitor, but amuse them selves in the customarylnanner, stirring up the Irish Squire's bile with sarcastic remarks wind ing upby treading on his gouty toe. Evidently a quarrel In the family. Audience has its nerves strung to the highest tenelon. Can hardly sit still, while awaiting the evidently terrific devel opment.. Scene in another room—sister meets the Squire and demands that he shall deliver up to noble Mr. King, the owner, certain cash which he has Inadvertently absorbed. Squire says_ she is in lOve.with him . She walks to the footlights and asks the audience, "Can he suspect?" Audi ence think he can. They tee it all. So does the Squire,. who works himself up to a frenzy and goes old S. O. Reaming at the month. Barnyard Beene. Enter Dennis; Wild Irish man and villain of the piece. He explains to the au dience that a thirst for lucre rages in his soul,and that he knows a thing or two whereby he can do plete the squire's pocket-book. He then alludes to the fact that he would just as leave drink hot blood as not, after Which he goes to bed under the haystack, as Irish villains always do when they feel especially sangeinary. Enter Squire's wife far the pleasant stroll which squires' wives take regularly in the barnyards. Enter noble Mr. King. It is developed that he loved her when she was a child, and that she was compelled to nanny the Squire. Very improper amount of Nweetnesa occurs, and noble Mr. King intimates, 1n a blood-curdling whisper, that the Squire may die, and then he can , marry her. The matter is discussed at some length, considering that they are both shuddering at the thought, and she goes out through the stable, 'while noble Mr. King presses his hands to •his aching brow, and leans against the haystack in the most uncomfortable 'anner, evidently to give the Irish villain be neath a chance to cut part of his coat tail off. Tis must be to identify him, and the audience hold their breaths while the curtain descends to impressive music. Act 11. Enter Squire's wife in a state boi dering on distraction. Says her prayers to slow i music. Actor's wife projects her night-capped bead from the door and enlarges upon the in iquity of the AMericau actor in staying out late. [Loud laughter from the .guilty males in the 'par quet. j Robust landlord enters and explains. Ame rican actor's wife retires with a jovial remark. Enter landlord'a spouse, and,whlle he follows the well-known example of all landlords, and sits on chair in the entry,' drinking large quantities of whisky - from a very small bottle, she disgorges a fine Fenian sentiment. [Applause, limited strictly to the galleries.] I.lnfeellng audience fail to express sympathy. Scene 111. Room in hotel. Noble Mr. King saunters in through the window 'at midnight, and meanders around. Enter the Squirein night ehirt and socks. Can't sleep. (lot the mania. Must have brandy. Brief, but impressive, tem perance discourse from an awful example, who illustrates by absorbing five fingers ofunadul terated,fire-water. Noble Mr. King introduces llimself. The Shadow appears on the Casement! ! ! Gigantic man with a Brobdignagian high hat, and smoking a cigar as long, as a flehin,g pole. Noble Mr. King wants his embezzled cash. Squire asps he shan't have it. Noble Mr. King says he will. Squire produces one of those large revolvers which Irish Squires invariably wear attached to their night shirts, and aims at the mob/0 Mr. King. Audience in an agony of terror. Noble Mr. King will certainly be killed. Provi dential attack of paralyals seizes the Squire jest as he pulls the trigger. Bullet enters his breast. Shows the gore on his linen to the audi ence. Shadow on casement disappears. Noble Mr. King breaks for the window. Squire dies in awful agony to wail on the A string of the drat violin. Act 11L—American actor is caught by his wife 5.n the act of kissing the chambeemaid. Shocked at his bad taste, she weeps. Re Months Shake peare. Little love spat; concludes amicably just as rotund landlord announces supper. Scene lid, INuire's widow reading the will. Enter noble Mr. King. Wants to hide.

'Work in the rock.cuttings on the western slope will continue through the winter, and there is now no reason to doubt that the entire grand line to the Pa• cid° will be open for business in IBM The means provided for the construction of this Great National Work are ample. Tho United States grants its Mx Per Cent. Bonds at the rate of from $lO,OOO to illtB,ooo per mile, for which it takes a asermd lien as security, and receives payment to a large if not the full extent of its claim in services. These Bends e issued •as each twenty-mile section is finished, an after it has been ex amined by United States Commissioners and pronounced to be in all respects a first-class road, thoroughly supplied with depot'', repair•shops, stations, and all the necessary rolling stock and other equipments. The United• States also makes a donation of 12,800 acres of land to the mile, which will be a source oC• large re venue to the Company. Much of this land in the Platte Valley Is among the most fertile in the world, and other large portions are covered with heavy pine forests and abound in coal of the beet quality. The Company is also authorized to Issue its own First Mortgage Bonds to an amount equal to the issue of the Government andano more. Hon. E. D. Morgan and Hon. Oakes Ames are Trustees for the Bondholdere,and deliver the Bonds to the Company only as the work pro gresses, go •that they always represent an actual and pro ductive value. The authorized capital of the Company is One Hundred Million• Dollen, of which over five millions have been paid in upon the work already done. EARNINGS OF THE COMPANY. At present, the profits of the Company are derived only from its local traffic, but this is already much more than sufficient to pay the interest on aU the Bonds the Company can issue. if not another mile were built It is not doubted that when the road is completed the through traffic of the only lino connecting the Atlantic and Paci fic States will be largo beyond precedentand as there will be no competition, it can always bo done. at profitable rates. twill be noticed that the Union Pacific Railroad is, in fact, a Government Work, built under the 'supervision of Government officers, and to a large extent with Go vernment money, and that its bonds are issued under Government direction. It is believed that no similar security is so carefully guarded, and certainly soother is based upon a larger or more valuable property. As the Company's FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS are offered for the present at 90 CENTS ON :THE DOL. LAE, they aro the cheapest security in the market; being more than %per cent. lower than United States Stock. They pay SIX PER CENT. IN GOLD , or'over NINE PER CENT. upon the investment.
