TUE NORTII PACIFIC ROME.
We publish t()-day an adrairabbi-written re-
," port, from a •well-lihown citizen of Philadel-
Claxtonrin reference-,
to the proposed North Pacific Railroad. Dr.
Claxton is a keen, shrewd, intelligent obServer,-
and his voluminous report is one q the most
• .readable descriptions of the'Present condition
of upper California, Oregon, Washington,Ter-'
ritory, Idaho and Montana, that has yet ap
peared. The writer of this report was one of
a select expedition, sent out by Messrs
, „
J4y Cooke &' Co,, for the purpose of ;
ititaining definite information as to, the ; feast, :
bilitY and adVantage of constructing the pin
jected railroad, which, connecting at the, East
With the. ead of Lake Superior,'has been pro
jected through the great grain-growing regions
of the far - Northwest,throtigh Dakota; LIATIO
and Montana, thr&tgh Washington Territory
and Oregon; down the magnificent Coluiribia,
to Portland and Pacific by the one branch, and
by the other up to Seattle and the splendid
road Steads of Puget's Sound. ; •
The magnificent enterprise of the Union
Pacific Railroad, so' far from exhausting Ame-:
`rican energy or the demands of, the growing,
.'West, has only indicated the necessity for fliller
vmmunication .across. the continent. The
region," traVersed by the North Pacific route is
wonderful in niany yespects. The revelations
made by such conscientious reports as the one
which we lay before our :readers, to-day, will
astonish those whose knowledge of the Far
North West is limited to vague notions
of a vast expanse. of wilderness, of in
tense cold and. eternal snows. That it
should he, in reality, a mighty grain-producing
country, with almost ' inexhaustible forests of
the finest timber; that its plains should already
'; be dotted with fruit orchards and teeming gar
;::dens, and rich dairY farms; that great business '
'enterprises, with fine mills and costly Ma- •
thinery and abundant capital, should already
be in full operation on the shores of Oregon
and Washington Territory; that the Columbia
Jiver, for hundreds, of miles from .-lts mouth,
should even now be traversed with lines of
splendid steamers; that the climate Of
this upper' region shOuld be one of
almost • Spring-like. mildness, in which the
fruits and flowers which - only fitimish on our
Atlantic coast under hot-house culture. bloom
and ripen hatutintly in the open air; all this
is as new , to the great majority of intelligent
Americans as it would be to French or English
• readers.
Dr. Claxton's report goes but little into the
engineering details of this great prOject. Mr.
W. Minor Roberts, and other accomplished
scientific men who are connected with the
same exploration, will doitbtless furnish the
fullest information on the essential points of
grades, and mountain passes ; and the prac
tical facilities and difficulties presented on the
route. But whatever be their verdict as to
the feasibility of building the North Pacific
Railroad; no one can read Dr. Claxton's re
port without the fullest conviction of its desi
. Climate, soil, productions, business
—facilities,the_growth_of .population,
• •
in - a, - common"demand for the free and full and
early opening of this great section of our coun
:_ -try
to. , trade and -travel, The -other Pacific
-railroads have each their own domain to de
velop, and these domains are broad enough
- end rich enough to engage all the energies of
the several roads that traverse and will traverse
them. The North Pacific route has its own
special inducements, andtbat they are wonder
fully abundant and - attractive, is fully demon
strated by the admirable report to which we
invite our readerS' attention to4lay.
It looks like a Herculean task to commence
the construction of another Pacific railroad so
close on the heels of the one just completed
amid so much national rejoicing and enthu
siasm. But if' it is only demonstrated that such
a railroad is needed, in 'other words, that it will
pay, then it will be found that neither energy
nor capital will be wanting to push.it through.
The experiences of the Union Pacific and the
Central; while they reveal the tremendous
difficulties of building a trans-Continental
railroad, will also be of Ines
-timable advantage to those who come
after them. Their great triumphs of engineer
ing have created a new era' in railroading. The
old iders upon the subject are utterly exploded,
. and the new ones that haVe taken their place
have been demon§rtated by experiment on the
grandest &ale: Should the construction of the
North Pacific Railroad be undertaken under
elatiSpiceirothuch - men as - Jity Cooke 66
Co., and it now, seems highly probable that it
will b?,,lt will be startedwith the same public
confidence, , and carried through with the same
indomitable . courne : and --, complete - stieeess - as
.characteriked their far greater enterprise
of raising the great national loans of the late
war. Neat haS",already been done by the Go
vernment and by the people; in connecting the
Atlantic. and Pacific shores of this broad Conti
nent, solar from being a hindrande to further
.efforts, NV ill, Qnly be regarded as a proof of What
.can. 'beldone:andan indication of how it can
bcst.and soonest be done, in meeting the yet
nnsuPpliedwaats, and opening the yet almost
imknown resources of the great Northwestern
. 't'erritor'y of the United
Two
it is reported, with Some appearauee of pro
bability, that Senor Mathias, the repre§entative
Of the Cuban revolutionists,has gone to France
for the purpose of meeting. General Prim and

iculty in the way is; Spapish.Pride. The loss of .
Cuba, even if it netted a handsome sum: to the:
treasury, would add to theunpopularity of the
, •• • •
Regency. . Everk•Spaidard would feel that the
government had been beaten , into a con*ro- r ,
raise by the rebela,and this humiliation would
be aggravated .hy' the ,knowledge of the fact;
that l iiihfis - Mg - Ciilia, - SPainhad given updrinn , .*
failing source of revenue to the government,
and of wealth to •private individuals: If Ser
ratio and Prim feel strong enough to face the
storm which will break npOn them in the event
of • the. sale being effected, they have a better
opinion of, their, hold • upon popular affection
than the rest of the world has. , 'But even, this
-atiangeMent:-wouldrnot7be'oe-idisastrous-toL
their hopes ..as loSs.of the Wand ,without , any
compensation . at,all ; and such a result seems
by. no ,means impossible in: lie view of the
exhausted condition of Spain at the present
time. , The Spaniards have to choose , between
:the Present opportunity and the futitre chance
of success: For humanity's sake, we hope
they VD close with Senor Iliiichias's oiler, if he
makes' bile, so that the cruel' Cub,a,nwir may'
have an end. '
,it is said that Commissioner Delano has or
,dered a new set of tobacco revenue stamps,
certain denominations of which are to be
adorned witia counterfeit presentment of his
,countenance; , It May be that the', Commis
sioner's face is hatidsome enough to be really
ornamental, and iOinay give such 'additional
attractiveness to the.stamps that aesthetic per
sons Will be induced to engage in the manu
facture of tobacco merely for the purpose of
having Mr. Delano's features upon their boxes.
But we think the prineiple wrong. As a Mat
ter of fact, Mr. Delano has no more right to
place his' picture upon a government stamp
than Mayor Fox, lion. O'Vaux
. or any other
• citizen has. It is an assumption of privilege
which should have ,been condemned-Srom the
beginning. Perhaps the^ face of the President
of the United States might properly enough
adorn., a stamp or a bank note, although we
ahould be sorry now to be compelled to carry
Andrew Johnson in our pockets. But when
Mr. Spinner and Mr. Delano present them
selves to the public in this way, it is time for
Congess to interfere. If we must have hu
man faces in such positions let us take those
of departed great men, not of present politi
cians; but we do not perceive the necessity for
any such adornment. It does not make coun
terfeiting more difficult, it adds nothing to the
affection of the people for the stamps, and in
the xriajority'of cases it rather detracts from
their beauty.
The• Water Department may profitably learn
one lesson from the present drouth : that it is
unwise to place entire dependance for all time
upon the turbine wheels at Fairmount. • There
should be a stationary steam engine there;
which should do duty whenever the water is
below a certain point in the river: As it is,
seven or eight gallons of water are• expended
in pumping one gallon to the reservoirs, and
there is no means of obviatinga. waste which
is 'very serious at such a time aithis. A
steam engine would do the work at a mere
fraction of the.cost in water; and would do it
as well. It would pay the city to keep an en.-
gine in order all the year' round, merely be
cause of the risk of such au emergency as this
one.
Among the musical - entertainments which
will be given in this city during the coming
season, not the least attractive will be lie
soirees of Mr. Chas. 11. Jarvis. This gent e
man has secured the services of Mr. llennig,
the violoncellest and of Mr. Guillemann, the
violinistyand-he-will-give selections from-the
works of such composers as Handel, Beethoven,
Spohr, Mendelssolm, Bach, Chopin, Schumann,
Liszt, and Taussig.. • • .
The Democratic party will not suffer from
the . droutb, and it does not complain of / it.
The members avoid the use of water as a
beverage, and it is their boast to be numbered
with the Great Unwashed. k.
Perhaps a reason for Asa Packer's unpopu
larity throughout the Lehigh region may be'
found in the proverb "No man is4,,bero to his
own valley."
DRAMATIC-
During the slimmer vacation the Walnut
Street Theatre has been furbished up very
handSomply. The sombre appearance which
distingniShed the interior in former years, has
been relieved by a judicious distribution of
crimson and blue and gold upon 'the walls,
gallery fronts and the boxes ; while the wood
and ironwork have been repainted, the cush
ions upon the Seats, polished up, the boxes
• adorned with pretty red and white curtains,
and the floors made conafCirtable with new
matting. The crimson paper has giVen a snug
and cozy appearance to the plac,e; and all the
decorations have been made with such taste
fulness that the theatre is one of the plea.santest
in appearance'inthe conntry.__The.oltlfriends_
of the Walnut were astonished at the . trans
formation,
when they entered the doors on
Saturday night last, Ind there were general
expressions of surprisii :and-pleasure - at the
eXeellenceund beauty of, the: inifitovements - ; --
, Mr. Henry Leslie's drama, Duty (the Lou
don title was The Mariner's Compass), was pro
duced fot the first :time hi thiii country. A
relation of the story is in some degree neces
sary to a proper comprehension of what we
have to sayabout it, and as no reader over un
derstood synopses of plays as they are giVen,
usually, in newspapers,we will put this one in
the form of a brief narrative:
Once upon a time, in England, there was a'
coast guard, named •SiTaii Englehart, who had
educated and cared for two orphan children,
If.etty Arnold and 'Ruby Dayrell, the latter of
whom had been rescued when an itathnt from
a wreck. Silas loved Hetty after she reached
Womanhood, but she, not knowing this, had
given, her Heart to Ruby, who, at the opening
.
of the play' was a . bold mariner, ploughing

But as Silo's "Was'pboir,:he'deterroiried to go

Pole, iCebergs and

and a letter was received "kom the captain of
_his vessel stating that SilaSiiiiiiiierished,tipon
the ice. Thereupon Ruby courted ,Iletty and
Won her.. 'While, they were in' choral, beinr ,
married, Silas came to the, door', understood
the situation; got mad, and made a disagree
able fuss. He refused tor hi?, reconciled to
Hetty, but expressed his intention to take her
Child and his and Meander over the world
witha broken heart. i etty felt ip badly that
_She jumped into the creek. Ruby dived , after.
her, and they. both floated,.toward the., wheel
ofthe,mill. Hefty clutched and was saved.
Ruby sank to rise no more. .Silas was recon
ciled and everything wound up pleasantly.
It will be observed that thereisnothing new
in this story, and very' Much that, is familiar
and hackneyed. Still , AheTlay, is a good one
for the people who love ekeiting'incident. A
drama may be lamentably bad in construction,
so that any, Intelligent man may find a thou
sand flaws in it, and yet . ..it may contain So
many striking situations, it may ,be' so Well
played and mounted, that it will'he popularly
successful. Perhaps thus, is the case with most
so-called sensational, dramas; but pull/ is, we
think, superior to many of its claSs,: because it
really does teach a moral • lesSon, of ;such an
obvious character that even a ,gallery god
would be impressed by it. ,
The deficiencies of the play, are sometimes
monstrous. It lacks altogether the principles
of unity and consecntivenesS. .There are two
or three characters which have absolutely 'nu
connection with the story proper, which in
terrupt its progress canselessly, and Which ap
pear to have been jammed into the text be
cause the author needed a comic parSonage or
two, and a method of amusing the audience
while the intricate scenery was Tieing arranged.
"Augustus Brown," for instance, is as Useless"
here as Hamlet would be; so is "Mrs. Pro-'
vost." '"Keziali" is not :IS much out of place,
but her services could be dispensed with, with
out any hurtful results; and while tMr. and
Mrs. Englehart" properly should •be leading
and important characters, they are hung
so very loosely upon the plot, that we
feel them to be impediments rather than
assistants to its progresS, The three former
persons dangle about in ail incomprehensible
manner, without anything to - do but a little
stale low comedy business, such as farcical
sparring,' dropping and, breaking plates, and
humorous love making; while the two
. .old
people improve the time quarreling with each
other, in a natural sett of a way, to be sure,
but in an utterly irrelevant and absurd way.
because they have really hardly, anything to
do with the narrative. Of course there must
be "miner characters in' such ar piece, but a
dramatist should know how to incorporate
them in the play so that they shall. be ac
tual, impOrtant parts of it—impressed with
strong individuality and absolutely necessary
to its proper development. Mr. Leslie has
simply selected a number of familiar stage
characters, and tossed them in a curious jumble
into his text.
There are other defects. No explanation is
given of the method by which the Sheriff
seizes the property. A mysterious document
of some kind is introduced, which-seems to do
the business ; but why, or by what means, or
.at whose instigation, nobody in the audience
knew. Rom coriaiiiOn Seaman,
accumulated so much cash abroad, also, is left
untold. He may have been a bold pirate for
all we know .to the contrary. Why "Mr.
Browne" fools about in the family, what "Mrs.
ProvostP does for a living i and why-" Silas" goes, -
to-sea without bidding ; good-bye to his wife,
are also mysteries. -It was the dramatist's duty
to explain these things as he proceeded. An

event and - circumstance: - If . there are such
mysteries as these the whole work semis

charge - Mr. Leslie with plagiarism, because he
used the Enoch Arden incident—bringing
‘.‘ Silas" home just after his wife's second
marriage. lint that is old enough, and common
enough, and stale enough to be the property of
any dramatist who has thelxtd taste to em
ploy it,
Duty has some strong points, however. The
a!;guage is uniformly good. There is, some
times, deep and terrible pathos in the text--
for instance in the passage where "Silas" de,;-
clares his intention to leave his home forever.
The interviews in the churchyard between
"Joe" and the child, and afterwards between
the child and "Silas" are admirable; and there
are some others equally worthy of praise.
The mountings of , the piece give interest to
the scene upon the shore in the prologue; to
the mill scene in the third act and, to the inci 7
dent of the "Silas" departure for the northern
seas. These all are very beautiful mechanical
effects, and they are creditable in the highest
degree to the scenic artist of the theatre.
The drama was played well. Mr. Wale&
tivas at home in the part of "Silas,7 which
resembles, in many respects, characters in
which he has appeared often before. He and
his Wife played with spirit and intelligence on
Saturday night. • Mr. Bailey gave an eiccel
lentbersonation of "Trafalgar .Joe," a very
unworthy part. Mr. Bailey is a good actor
with an inclination to occasional -65arseness
He B e losthis identity-in-this
character, and played with tenderness and
feeling. Mr. Fawcett's "Keziab." was very
funny, simply because it was played by an
actor who was..superior to : his opportonity .
'The , part intrinsieally is - worthiesS.'- Of 3.1,r;
Chapman's fine performance the same may
be said. Mrs. Chapman 'played the character
of Mrs. Chapman. She never. contrives to a.s
similate herself to. the conception, of the
author. Mr. Lewis Morrison, the new mem
ber •of the coMpany, made a very favorable
impression. Ho has a fine presence, a 'soft,
sweet, sympathetic, voice, a graceful manner,
and an intelligent appreciation, of the text.
We consider him a valuabWacquisitioin to the
company. Duty will be performed this even
ing, mid we recommend our readers to see it,
for its good points, its clever presentation, and
beant#ll scenery.

Philadelphia Money Market.
310.ND44, Aug. 16.—Currency is in good dernand by the
:farmers of the interior and the West, who seem to have
learnt a lesson from the folly of the last season, and are
- anxious to bring their crops into market to realize upon
: them at the current rates, This is sensible, bet it
":promises to -add greatly to the demand for money as the
, season prcgrestres. The crops are almost nuivereally
'!;heavy; and the fears of a low scale of rates
later on are natural enough. The supply of money of
the banks is decidedly short, but so tar there is no incon
venience or great difficulty in, procuring Manson good
collateral, and on call Or short time. The terms asked
by lenders this morning was Gal per cent. on demand,
• and Sale per cent. for discounts on the street. Little out
side paper is being taken by the bunks to-day.
Gold aliened rather-strop g- at 1344, but declined
daring the morning and closing before noon at 133 U.
The market in Geyer/uncut Loans is dull, and we have
to record another heavy fall in prices.
The dullness which- has prevailed iwthe.stock market •
during the past ten days has apparently. reached its cli
max to day, for rarely was there seen less spirit in the
board or more limited transactions. State
and Pity Loans met with no sales, but prices were steady
at forMki,-4/didations. Reading Railroad was without
an y new' movement. There were comparatively light
sales at 47,?6a48 tr_ Pentisyixania Railroad shares

The alarming advance of crime in our cities,

the laborers of the conniminty, are rendering
