DRAMATIC.
Spectaealtur Drama as the Chestnut.
Eh gant comedy and other legitimate drama
a having faded at this theatre to awaken the en
thusiasm deeired, Miss Keene and her friends
have vacated awhile in favor of another kind
of exhibition. Miss Laura has, entered into a
combination with Prof. Risley, the importer
of the Spanish ballet, the Fretich trapeze-lady,
the German poseurs-plastiquis, and the English
pantomimists; a part of the Risley combina
tion opened the game last evening, at the
Chestnut, being the Lauri family of panto
mime artists, and the . German Bloptastio
troupe, in groupsi " composed" by Madame
Schmidt. The fatter are quite original,
very striking, and not inartistic. Four
very large tableaux were formed, in the
intervals of the gymnastic exercises of
the German turners. The manner -of those
compositions is not at all new, but in group
ing, lighting and color they are in advance of
anything we have had. For each tableau, the
scenery opens to the depths of the stage, re
vealing a kind of mountan apparently built of
human figures,basking in a flood of lime light,
while the orchestra executes a species of musi
cal swoon or falling-sickness, and plays in a
time indicative of the last degree of dejectiou
and lassitude. The groups are formed of round
armed German lasses, whose naturally ample
forms are still further solidified by padding,
tight shirts and sweeping drapery. One enor
mous model, a male, whose figure is that of a
Japanese wrestler, generally crowns the com
position, either with his ponderous arms folded
for a "Reposing Hercules," or dangling a slain
youth by the heel, as an imaginary recreation
of " The Iron Age." Several of these compo
sitions betray genuine pictorial taste in the
blending of colors and arrangement of lines
while the lighing-up is silvery and splendid:
the human mountain revolves twice,the models
remaining breathlessly still, and then the
scenes in trontclose slowlly upon it,and the or
chestra recovers its spirits. This gorgeous en
tertainment is calculated to give some import
ant ideas of art, and we hope it will
attract the feminine as well as the masculine
part of our community ; we would mention
that, though somewhat predisposed to a mis
application of drapery, these artists are per
fectly simple and serious in their statuesque
attitudes, and are perfectly free from the sug
gestiveness of the British .blonde ballet Or of
the French bouffe ; a pleasing Germanesque
sincerity attaches to all they do. Of the Lou
-.don pantomimists, who come to us with an
unapproachable diploma in their kind, it is
enough to say that they are bewilderingly -
funny, and that their play fits together in a
way that shows immense training and
practice. John Lauri can dance the most
• dazzling hornpipe, Charles Lauri can leap the
greatest number of feet perpendicular with an
unchanged countenance, Edward Lauri can
creep about as a dwarf in the most confusing
manner, and Henri Lauri can- encompass the
stage t with the longest steps, of any practi
• Miners we have seen. Their animal spirits
are immense, and their comedy, of an entirely
different sort from the old Ravel humor, is in
*Ur opinion more hearty and mirthful than
that, and fit to attract in 'America audiences
comparable to those who have enjoyed it in
London. Some very clever gymnastic feats
are distributed through the entertainment,
which is alogether a brilliant and diverting
one. It will be repeated every evening, and
on Saturday at 2 P. M.

The reason that so many people never rise
iu the,world, or become' partners with their
employers, is tlyt so many people are atraid
that they'll do toe much. The clerk that gets
his name painted on the same sign with the
name of his employer is the young gentleman
who is always anxious, not that he shall do too
little, but that he shan't do enough. If we
were even a waiter at a hotel we'd try and be
a trifle the best waiter that the landlord had
in his employ. Young men should bear in
mind this axiom : Don't he afraid of doing too
much. For further particulars inquire of the
first millionaire you meet.
The force at the Navy Yard will, to-morrow;
be cut down to the extent of five hundred
men. Employment at the yard is eminently
calculated to unsettle a man's mind.- - It ia'all

tion for perhaps two months afterwards. The
consequence is that long habitubs of the navy
yard become so accustomed to spasmodic in
dustry as to be disqualified for uninterrupted
work.
A few days more, and water will be turned
into the public drinking-fountains. This will
be good news to horses and other
.people.
Several new ones will be put - summer.
Among others there is to be a very large one
.at the junction of Fourth street and Old York
road. Its basin will be sufficiently large for a
dozen animals to drink together. It is to be
,of stone, turned in the steam lathes of J.
Eastburn Mitchell, Esq. By 'the aid and co
..operation of a .twenty-horse engine, this
fountain can he as easily shaped as a, bass
wood bedpost. • The lathe peels around the

as it Weald peel a dollar cheese. These.drink

things, there can't be too many of them.

; Spring suits, both for ladies and gentlemen,
are the order of the day. The trimming busi

in the inexorability of fashion the dresses of .
the ladies will be mainly trimmed with the
material of which they are made. Every tex
tile that we have thus far seen this season is
free from starch or sizing. Grenadines are
now literally mulls, while lawns come to us with
all the softness of nainsook. This is because
the trimmings will consist of ruffling. The'
idea is a good one. The raiment of a lady
should be as soft as the velvet of her hand and.

The "Alpine hat" doesu't seem to "take" in
Chestnut street as it does in Broadway. In
following the fashions Philadelphia ladies are
never outre. The Alpine hat is nothing more
than an elongation of the pattern,known as
the "bandit . " We saw but three specimens
this morning. They were sported by ladies of
that style of stature that makes their hus
bands round-shouldered from stooping over to
kiss them. To a tall woman the Alpine gives
a degree of elongation very, much the reverse
of desirable. The appearance of a tall lady
wearing one of them would be shockingly
suggestive of the appearance of a giraffe.
A. merry party of ladies and gentlemen, rid
ing from Spring Garden downward, had an
unexpected walk last midnight. One of the
horses in the car conveying them homeward
was seized at Fourth and Vine streets with an
attack of bilious choke. In.order to study the
matter he laid down, and kicked the harness
from him in about two minutes. The passen
gers kindly assisted the conductor in pushing
the car from the track. They then walked to
their Southwark homes. We get this item
from a young gentleman who had been anx
ious to prolong as far as possible the existing
interview with the young lady companion to
whose eyebrow he indites daily sonnets. The
only regret he claims to have experienced was
that the animal hadn't collapsed at Fourthand
Green, instead of Fourth and Vine streets.
The young gentleman has evidently taken it
in the natural way.
A QUEER ROBBERY.—Some people have
queer propensities. Graves are often robbed
by persons who dispose of the bodies thus ob
tained to medical colleges for dissecting pur
poses, but stealing gravestones is an entirely
new and novel kind of a robbery. Mr. Jacob
Kohler bas an extensive marble-yard at No.
1005 North Third street. He has a very tine
display of monuments and tombstones. A po
liceman passed the plate a little after twelve
o'clock last night. He noticed an individ*al
leaning over the fence, gazing intently upon'a
stone having upon it beautifully carved em
blems Which would indicate that it was in
tended for the grave of a musician. As it
seemed totally improbable that anybody
would attempt to carry off a tombstone, the
policeman paid very little attention to the
man. A short time afterwards the same indi
vidual was observed with a wheelbarrow.
Upon the latter he bad a couple of marble
slabs. One was for the head and the other for
the foot of a grave. These, it was soon ascer
tained, bad NO stolen from the yard of Mr.
Kohler. The thief showed pretty good taste,
for be took about the prettiest decorations for
a child's grave that he could find. - flow he
managed to get them over the fence is a mys
tery which be refuses to disclose. He gave his
name as. Daniel Fassett, and said that he lived
on Shippen street. When asked how he came
to commit such an unusual robbery, he re
plied: " I don't know, but I--thought that I
would just like to have such a thing." He
was sent to Moyamensing. Mr. Kohler left
the Alderman's office wondering whether
somebody won't try to carry off his engine
and steam-working saws next.
TEE HARBOR POLICE FORCE.—Ths station-:
house of the Delaware Harbor • at
Front and Noble streets, has been renovated
and refitted, and is now iu pretty good condi
tion. Two new boats are now being built,
and will be ready for use about the middle of
next week, when operations will be commen
ced on the river. During the winter the force
has been patroling Delaware avenue, and has
been instrumental in saving from drowning
many persons who would have walked over
board, in consequence of the scarcity of light
to enable them to see their way properly.
Early yesterday morning a man walked into
the river just above Market street, and al
though some of the Harbor Police went
promptly to his rescue, he was actually
drowned before his bat got wet. Until more
lamps are put up along Delaware avenue
these cases of drowning will continue to oc
cur nightly, notwithstanding the vigilance and
efficiency of the Harbor Police.
ANOTHER OLD LANDMARK DISAPPEARING,
—The old and well-known structure at the
lower end of Germantown, formerly the
" Buttonwood Hotel," is now being demol
ished, to make room for a more modern build
ing. For many yearajt was a favorite and
aristocratic resort for Philadelphians, who
would Make the Old Buttonwood the terminus
of their afternoon drives. Formerly two
sycamore trees stood before the building.
They were placed there about the year 1765 by
...a resident of Germantowp, who dug them up
on'the'banks of the - - Schuylkill, "and... - carried
them upon his shoulder to Germantown. But
one now remains. This is about twenty-five
feet in circumference at the trunk, over a
hundred feet in height, and is still in a flour
ishing condition.

A WONDERFUL ESCAPE.
A Strange Story of the Sen.
The New York Post says:
Ina letter Prom C. A. Ranlett, jr., master of -
their ship Surprise, dated at Shanghai ' China,
February 11th, and just received by Messrs.
A. A. Low & Brother, in this city, occurs a
story of escape froth apparently certain death
at sea, scarcely less strange than the boldest of
Captain Marryatt's or of Charles B.eade'a in
ventions. The Surprise sailed from New
York October 9th, 1809, for Shanghai, and on
February at noon, one hundred and
twelve days out. had sailed 10,859 miles ; being
then in the Pacific Ocean, in latitude 20 deg.
)() min. north. and longitude 120 deg. east. The
Captain writes:
.• AL half-past twelve, midnight, of Jan. 29,
the second mate with his watch were aloft
reefing the mizzen topsail, when Wm. A. Joy,
a small boy belonging to Nantucket, felt front
the Weather quarter of the yard overboard,
just clearing the weather mizzen channels, but
striking heavily on one of the boat davit chains.
"1 saw him fall, but did not have the re
motest idea that we could save him, not only
for the' reason that the night was very dark
and stormy, with a heavy sea running, but
because 1 supposed he was severely injured by
his fall, and, encumbered by his clothing, he
would smitimmediately.
" However, I called all . hands, shortened
sail, wore ship round on the port tack, and
stood on for about fifteen minutes, when some
of the men forward thought they heard a cry.
Shortly I wore ship again on to the starboard
tack, as we were ,when 'he went overboard,
and, as the ship came up to the wind, we all
heard him crying out on our weather-bows.
Coming to, with everything aback, brought
him right under the weather•quarter, when he
was hauled in with a bowline thrown over him,
apparently uninjured.
• He was naked, having undressed himself,
—no small feat of itself for a boy less than
fourteen, and small of his age. Hit; left arm
was badly injured, but he had not felt it, in the
water..
u I consider this one of the most miraculous
escapes from drowning I ever heard of. not
only that the youngster should keep himself
up for forty-live minutes, but that we should
fiud him in such a dark night."
The practical business style in which such
an occurrence is recorded in a ship's log will
belnteresting to many readers. The follow
ing is the entire entry in the page for " Re
marks" in the log of the Surprise for January
29th :
" Middle and end very squally, heavy rain
and head sea, 12 hours 30 min. midnight, Boy
W. A. Joy fell overboard from mizzen top
sail yard; picked him up 45 min. afterwards, a
most wonderful thing."
The study of such documents as the log of
the Surprise may be recommended to all
aspiring landsmen who write marine - novels.
Perhaps such suggestive entries as " Decem
ber 20, Thick fog and bard luck" • " December
23, Ship exceedingly wet"; "December 24
Cloudy, moderate and rainy, wind hauled
round backwards 2d time, very curious" ; "De
cember 25, Light airs and much calm, ship
rolling like an old tub, miserable luck . ' ; and
ninny more, might be effectively translated
into thrilling descriptions of sea life.
