Written lor the Ecntircr Nrw York, January 27. The recent 1 si most simultaneous, production oi seyera new plays here has serred to introduce ia come, and to reintroduce in other in stances, a number of remarkably beautiful and talented actresses, in whom your readers may be induced to take at least a passing interest. They all belong to local companies, and it is only at their New York fcon&f a they axe likely soon to be seen. The plays I allude to are "The Railroad of Love" at Daly's, "Heart of Hearts" at Palmer's Madison Square, "L'Abbe Coaatantin" at Waliack's, now managed by Henry E. Abbey; "Paul Kanvar" at the Standard, and the revised opera of " Erin i nie" at the Casino. All but one of these plays, by the way, are great succeses in every sense; but I speak of them only as the vehicle which has recently brought in eo many stage beauties. Hiss Marie Borrouzhs has been attached for seme years past to the Madison Square Company, but has only recently had a fair opportunity to disp'ay her merits and her beauty at the same time. She played very cleverly a somewhat repulsive part in "Saints and Sinners." in which her "make-up" necessarily detracted irom her facial charms; but in "Heart of Hearts" ehe has the part of a sweet and simple young girl, whicb she plays in tier own cjiora and not in that Of the stae dresser. Sac is (ornething above the medium teipht, just tall enough to gracefully lay her head on the shoulder of her lover ia the play and her husband lover ia real life, Louis Massen her figure fall and rounded; her features regular, but very mobile and expressive. Sue has more unstudied pride on the atape than any jsov.vjf) hctitFS I-can recall. She Has leaned ncthicg of the awkardness ot movement which mistaken s'ags training fives to too many of our actors and actresses. Socially she ia a very lovable and attractive woman; very domestic and retiiicg, although she lives in the tnrmoil cf that big caravansary, the Ross more Hotel. She is a young Califoru-ian by birth, and married Mr. Massen some four cars ago. In the same company, but cast just now to play a special er.gagement in "Jim, the Penman." is atother very charming yoarn$ woman known to fame as Maude Harrison, tut little known outside of her sta;e csrf cr. She ia the opposite of Mis3 Kor rcugbs in complexion," being a brunette; tut rather like hr in tigure. Her features lack only the mobility of those of Mi&s Porrcnghs; but in conversation, when pleased, they are lit op with animation ird spirit. She is the "adored one" of Mr. Palmer's company, and the other in embers of tba troupe say "Maude (pronounced Mawdy) is all heart." Kvervbody about the theater calls her Maude. Jvecent y this jeart of frers went cut to a stranger, an actress who cad met with an accident, had to go to a hospital and have her leg amputated. "Maude" didn't hire a hall and give a benefit. She went about personally among her friends in society and among the various theater companies of the citv and .r raised 2,v00li3 cold cash, and she was the v largest contributor, too. When she wasn't soliciting fcr her patient she was iiUrbing the poor crca ure. This is not the general idea of Maude Harrison's

cht racte -, but it is the true one. Dalj'e company has more than three Haje beauties, but I ehall speak only of three of them. Mis; Ada Ilehan on the stage is one of the handsomest personalities in Americ; oü it she is one of the pleasantest txdies ia the world. She lives during week-days at the top of the Victoria iiocei ; but her Sundays belong to her mother, and she spends them in a modest little cottage away off in South Brooklyn. The mother and daughter are devotedly attached, and almost every Monday morning they may be seen crossing Hamilton ferry together, the actress returning to her week's labor, but keeping her mother with her as lone as possible. Miss Virginia Dreher, also of Daly's, is a Kentucky girl. I remember her lather well, many years ago. She was a Älisa Murphy, bat very early in life marrieJ, and soon after lost her husband and went on the stage for a livlihood. She is shortly to marry a Mr. Postie haite. She is a stately beauty, like Miss Ilehan, end jet not like her at all, though, by the way, I once eaw General Sherman mistake tier for Miss Peban acd oner to kiss her as such, politely declined, with a littia scream and a query, totto voce, "Does he really go about kitfciEg everybody? "Well, that's the wsy he went 'marching through Georgia,' " was the reply, also in an undertone. The new heau-y of Daly's, Miss Phoebe Kusse! 1, I know nothing about pereocally. but she is a tall blonde, with rather a thin figure, but a very fair face and charmingly natural manners; her movements are full of grace, and in the single part in which she has appeared, you can detect Mr. Daly's thorough training. All three of these beautiful women (and half a dczen others) will appear simul Unecu&ly next Tuesday night in Mr. Daly's revival of "A Midsummer Night's Dream." This will be a gorgeous displav. The costumes alone cost $20,000 in Paris and paid a duty of $3,G00. These are actual figures, and will serve to show the great risk taken in producing Shakapeare as he should be played. It probably did not cost as much to staze the modern comedy cf "The Railroad of Love" as the duties on the costumes of the "Dream." However, the former hai paid Wr. Daly a profit of probably $50,000, and he can afford to gratify his own taste for the great master's works. Undoubtedly the new piece will pay handsomely; it will Conbtlees run a hundred nights easy. The sale of the seats for the first night began on Wednesday morning, but every seat in the theatre bad been allotted to applicants by letter. Many applicants for three or more seats bad to be put off wJh two, I believe that two was the utmost sold .to any " person. r i Mrs. Abbey, now the only leading lady of Waliack's theatre, was formerly Miss Florence Gerard, and as euch sbe played a brief engagement at Stetson's Fifth Avenue theatre. She has been married only about a year. It was largily on her account that Mr. Abbey leased Waliack's toeatre and produced two of Robertson'! comedies, in flaying wbicb Mrs. Abbey had particulary excelled, ßrlght as tbey were, the comedies were found not to the present taste, somewhat nanseateJ by British melodrama, and, though brightly acted, neither "Caste" ror "School" plessed the public, lira. Abbey ia tall, with a splendid figure od rounded form. She ii a blonde of the jnost pronutud type, Mn. Tearle, nee

M nnle Conway, then Mrs. Jules Levy, also made her leapj-earance in the Wallaik compary a week ago. She ischicged mach from the petite Minnie Conway of fiftaen jtais ago; is rather inclined to embjaroint, but retains her beauty of feuures, In other words, she has grown etout, bat has not eged. "Paul Kauvar," the splendid rnelodnma which Steele Mackaye has produced at the Standard a work destined to lead to the improvement of the stage by suggesting similar fne work to authort-atonce Introduced and retired another stage beauty io Miss Annie Robe; tkat is her i arte row, but before this is printed it will be Mrs. Annie Griswold. Miss Robe has a particularly sweet face and macner. I never met or saw her without mentally paraphrasing Simple ia "The Merry Wives of Windsor," and exclaiming ' Sweet Annie Pae!" Her appearance in two different costames of the French Directoire style was extremely handsome. The style seemed to suit her face and figure equally well. She ia an English girl whom Lester Wallack induced 'o come here to meet her happy fate in marrying a jonng and rather handsome millionaire. Miai Kitty Cheatham, at the Casino, has cn'y lately appeared in the part of Frm;nie,,rwhich Miss Belle Urquart U3ed to stride majestically through with an invv,Ii- n A ,Via at rna llfrad Vi OF

part into prominence. She is not majestic like Miss Uiquart, and she played the part 1 quite diflerently; she not only acts, but strgs well She has been studying here lora long time rast, Keeping quieuy ac her work in a quiet house in Grammercy Square, atd this was her first appearance here. She not only made a hit as a singer and actress, but she is already installed in the hearts ot dudes and men, too, as a new s'fcce beauty. She is a daughter of the late Gen. Eenjamin F. Cheatham, whom I knew jn Keshville just before the war, one of a Targe and distinguished family in Tennessee. What is beauty worth on the stage? The averrge ralary for beauty alone is about $12j a week. Beauty with talent? That depends on the talent. The salaries of the ladies I have named run irom $00 to $200 a week, accordme to their talent and experience, not according to their beauty. Miss Cheatham probably gets the smallest, and Iii ss Renan the largest of these sums. Thestage is probably the worst market ia the universe to take beauty to if there is no otter ware to be sold with it. When beauty goes on the staa alono she must very scon go as "beauty unadorned," and beauty unadorned on the stag cannot drape and dress as she almcst invariably wan's to in private life on $12 a week: so beauty must eke out a livelihood in some other fashion, or at. somebody else's expense. So, beanty, don't ventnre here unattended. Wm. F. G. Shanks. AMONG THE COMMITTEES. Some of tlie Uills Considered at the Meeting Held Tuesday. Washikc.tos, January 21. The House Ctmmittee on Banking and Carrency agretd to report favorably the Anderson resolution requesting the Secretary of the Treasury to inform the House whether the full an ount of the United States notes anthorizd by the law of 1S7S was in circulation at ihit date, or what amount had been lest or ha? been lost since; the present circulation and what legislation is necessary to maintain the limit of circulation. A petition from the Knights of Labor was received, protesting against the employment of steam printing in the Bureau ot Kngraving acd Printing. The Coraiserce CoruniittPO took up the consideration cf the resolution to investigate the Reading-strike. Mr. Brumm, of Pennsylvania, made a statement in the interest of the miners. An animated discussion took place. Members of the committee held that any attempt to investigate. as proposed, was unconstitutional and not within the province of Congress, and if undertaken would be unproductive of results. Finally, Mr, Anderson, of Kansas, moved that Friday next at II o'clock be set for a vote on the resolution. Mr. Dunham, of Illinois, made the point that the hour of adjournment had arrived, and the committee arose without action. With few exceptions the members of the committee seem tobe opposed to the proposed inquiry, either for the reason that icisnoi a noper subject of inquiry by the government or because they believe the i quiry should be made by the inter-State C mm roe Commission. A sub-committee to day reported favorably to the House Foatoßice Committee Representative Anderson's bill .relating to the telegraph lines of the Pacific Railroad Company. The bill has been amended in so nie respects, so it now requires the subsidized railroad companies to maintain and operate their own telegraph lines, and ailord eual facilities to all telegraph and In receiption and transmession of telegraph business. The bill confers authority on the Inter-State Commerce Commission to enforce its provisions. Offending railroad officers, or agents, are liable to a tine of $1,000 or imprisonment for six months, while the company is held liable for civil damages. The Senate Committee on Finance listened to an argument by Senator Frye to-day, on his bill giving the consent of Congress that laws ct the several States relating to the rale of distilled and fermented liqu jrs, within the limits of each State, may apply to such liquors, when they have been imported, in tha same manner as when they have been manufactured in the United States Toe Senator represents mat the exemption of imported liquors from tb operation ef State laws is interfering wi h the temperance movement in Mine. The committee also considered briefly the undervaluation bill, and intend to brin it np for discussion at an early day in the Senate. The Ways acd Means Committee was n session but a few minutes to-day and did nothing of consequence. It was the intention of tbe committee to consider Chairman Mills' bill authorizing the Secretary of the Treasury to purchase bonds with the surplus, but tbe purpose was defeated by the fact that the bill is not yet printed. The Cora L.e Trial. Srr.iSGFiELP, Mo., January 21 Tbe Cora Lee trial was resumed at 0:3J tlis morning. County attorneys, jury and witnesses are all growing tired, yet the ground now being gone over is fought inch by inch with the same vigilance as on the opening day of the trial. The defendant, as from the beginnipg, sits near her attorneys throughout the day, calm, selfpossessed, watchfal. What emotions are awakened by tbe various stories coming from the witnesses is a problem for the key to which her countenance is studied in vein. It is generally believed that she is confident of the proof of her ionocence,and has an abiding faith in the final verdict ot not guilty. The testimony to-day was all for the defense and was regarded favorable to the prisoner. Tbe general impression here to night is that tbe verdict will be an acquittal or at most a disagreement. The case Is not expected to go to the jury before next week. Got Away With a ltlg rile. St. Pali-, January 2i. An Albert La, correspondent of the Pioneer Pres, tells how Samuel Tanner, a wealthy bachelor of Freeborn county, was confiienced out of $22,000 by a pretended detective a few days ao. The confidence man first appeared to Tanner disguised as a woman, claiming to be looking for the person who robbed Tanner of $1,000 some months ago. Ha succeeded so quickly in gaining Tanner's confidence that upon the pretext of wish ing to buy a farm he got from htm 20.000 in securities and t'i.000 in cash and dinppesrtd.

Effect of Applause Upoi Acten Its Theitre and the Pulpit Illusions of the Stage Objects of the Drama The Old Bachelor In the Oallery, Kte, Written lor the Sentinel. (Copyrighted, 1S4S. The most present word of the day is reform. Every one is convinced that his neighbor needs it, and is somewhat impressed with his own ability to administer the same. The stage, of course, has not escaped the general clamor, and managers and actors frequently receive advice and suggestion on the subject. When dissatisfied, the public should remember that tte remedy is entirely in their own hands. Managen provide precisely what they think the people will pay for, without sentiment or personal prejudice. There is no better reason to reform the stage than there is to reform any other phase of social life. II need improvement more or less, and all are more or less likely not to get it immediately. Satisfactory development in this case, aa in all others, must be gradual. If the staze were suddenly stripped of ell frivolous elements, the proceeding might, possibly, receive the formal indorsement ofsocietv: but it wffuld not receive its financial support. (Kdipus Tyrannus, in the original Greek, possesses, doubtless, many highly instructive and valuable qualities. Bat the public seem quite satisfied to concede the gocd points of (Kiipus on trnst, and it has tte people's benediction froaadistarce. Adonis Dixey, in equally original 1'nglish, must win approval through the t ersonal criticism of all classes. Result: (Kdipus runs one week to a loss, and Adonis inns indlinitely to a profit. While rot strictly classic in treatment, that Adonis imparts much useful information of a very general character is admitted by all who caw that talented Grecian after he went into the milk business, and his great success may have been somewhat determined by that circumstance; but managers may be excused if their classic enthusiasm is iniiuenced by euch facts. Society has cot reached that ideal point in its ethical culture which justifies tyrannical denunciation of its professional sis er. Whether the intellectual or moral progress of the drama be slow or rapid, it is sure to ba in harmony with its environments, for it depends not on an exclusive class, but on the mass of tbe people, and it cinnot, therefore, be greatly retarded or greatly in advance. That it certainly has kept pace with the universal progress is evident. Popular applause settles at once the tone of any performance, for the stage does not, ai a rule, mould the taste of tbe time. It rel!ec e, and is controlled by it. THE IFFF.CT OF ArTLAVSE upon artists is often quoted as due to their nervous susceptibility. The fact is overlooked that it is an unmistakable ovidence of approval, and is, as such, deBired. Artists do not relish such expressions on the same principle that our heathen visitor del ghtsin tom-tcm, or our cwn civilized email boy in the "glorious Fourth" racket. It is the direct medium of communica ioo. across the footlights. But that artists do pessees nervous susceptibilities of a most pronounced order, is very generally the caee, and is a point in their favor as indicatirgithe temperament and tastes of genius, even though it does not ensure the possession of its creative force. A highlystrung nervous organization may, and usually does, introduce into the character cf its possessor much unexpressed pathos, and is, therefore, less comfortable than a more stolid nature, but it is also more prompt and active, acd the world owes much of its stirring music to the instruments it holds at concert pitch. It is singular that in the occasional arguments against the stage, the most unique system of logic seems to prevail. It was once asserted, at a public gathering, that the theatre is a temptation that should be suppressed, and the statement illustrated by the remark that children frequently steal the money to attend it. Yet no one ever advocated, the extermination of the melon or apple crop, although the felo nious efforts of enterprising boys to appropriate the same to their own use is no torious. Moreover, the disoosition of an pies to disagree with the human race is well known and of ancient origin, yet that fmit has nourished unchallenged to the present hour. e should be more con Eistant. It would be as easy to abolish the drama as it would be to abolish ilie tears and laughter it eo freouentlv calls forth. On the other hand, efforts to confound the theatre with the pulpit, or the rostrum, or to re card it as a sort of gilt-edged seminary, teem equally ineffective and undesirable. Any difficulty in defining its position may, perhaps, originate in a misun derstanding of its limitations as well as its .A..ikn;i.. ' r u - . v. , v. v : . . 4 does cot seem to have any definite purpose concerning himself, but under the caressing hand of nature he steadily develops, and the culmination nils the air with melody, But if the music of the thrush is pleasant, that is no reason why the chicken should be'expected to manifest operatic tendeaciep. the roe ster has tried it, but he is not a sue cess, and thoughtful people, observing that example of misapplied genius, do not put the thrush in a fricassee, nor insist npon the chicken as a vocalist. ACCEPT THE THEATRE for what it is the court of the graces, whose worthy and sufficient object is to amuse. Pcetry and music, eloquence and grace, have contributed their utmost, and if some philosophers can admit happiness as the object of philosophy the aim of life sure ly the drama may accept amusement as its raison d eti e. It sweeps across the leisure hours of life and brings to light nnreseg nized emotions, dreams vague and unde fited but often beautiful. That these dreams a ay he vain illusions does not affect their value in the least. So. perhaps, are all the best thirgs of this world illusions, and the eaddest sight that life presents is the being who, having unveiled them all, stands confronted by its insignificance. It has been said that faith and love, fidel ity and friendship are illusions, and yet it Is confessed mat, nowever snort their probable duration, the value of the life that is crammed with these mistaken notions may safely be quoted at par. As all cannot travel in the intricate path of science, and find their consolations in its assured vitalitv.-it is just possible tbat a too analytical knowledge of tbe emptiness of sentimental tri ties, or of frivolous poetical pleasures, is not the best promoter of human good. Any one who can arouse a hearty, joyous laugh need cot hesitate to avow the rare accomplishment. Anyone who can reach the fountain of tears through the avenue of sympathy can benefit and enrich the race. Life seems a lenghty piece of busine a, whose tendency ia to harden and to blunt. Anything which Inclines to soften the heart or to exercise the finer impulses, is so important that it lustifiea the risk of softening the head a little, if necesaaiy, in the process. That danger ia alight as the counteracting inflaence is so strong, and co one need anticipate a mental reac

tion deve'op'rg in humanity the characteristic of numps.

I No star shines with so clear and imposing a lustre es that of accurate knowledge, but knowledge cannot bs taken all at once like a pill, and it highest point 13 an eminence beyond the reach of many struggling souls. To attempt to confine 'an ardent, but perhaps an undefended nature, within the region of demonstrated facts, is a proceeding certainly unnecessary, possibly cruel. It is always agreeable TO HEAR THE "gOPs'' enthuse when Claude Melnotte-Mourier outbids "yon sordid huckster for that priceless jewel. The delight of seeing the best man win, ana the interest in the reWard of merit, is quite human, and although a little crude, altogether decidedly fileasant. The fact that the pocketbook so iberally handled contains blank paper, and that the "priceless jewel" is, perhaps, tne wile 01 the uninterested notary, does cot diminish the beneficial effect of the sentiment. They revel in the illusion of the scene. They are not concerned with the actors except as the necessary instru ments to the cflect produced, Tbe more profoundly people believe in the possibility of the exalted standard of human vir tue often vividly portrayed on the stage, tbe rr ore likely are they to approximate that perfection. The more the goblet of ire is wreathed with the nowers of fancy. tte more nourishing acd beneficial will tr e contents be. That little OLD FELLOW IN THE GALLERY, in his worn and shabby coat has never, probably, passed feevond the line of his own narrow groove. Limited in resources, a bachelor, perhaps sewing cn his own but tons by means of a darning needie and a piece of linen thread, he is a fair illustration of a victim of the commonplace. But to-night he has wandered through the streets of Verona, feasted with the Capuets, acd joined in the dissipations of ro mantic high life without malice and with out remorse. His scope of thought is widened, and monotony is conquered for a while. The soft music, the changing ights, the beauty of tte pageant, haunt his memory for many days, and are food of a delicate and satisfying nature to his poorly-fed mind. Certainly, my luxurious friend of the Union League, you could not appreciate the enormous benent of a mud spree by proxy for a dollar, but amusements should be considered on Benthamite principles, and you, with your lavish opportunities, represent the minority. If the stage can, even for an hour, shed variety and Innocent pleasure into dreary lives, its mission is most honestly falfilled. If, in so doing, it also adds pranica lostraction, then welcome is the information sj conveyed, but snch benefits ars no; ojejtive, but are accessory, liiere 1& no u-g-?nt necessity io improve humanitv on Grad f iicd principles, ana if there i?, tbe 9'as.e Las not secured ir e contract to do it. Miny would keep the feco cf Is;s covered, if, wfcen revealed, tney gszd upon a corpie. It is difrcult in so abrupt a reference to snch a nibject to escape misconstruction It should cot appear that this assumntion of the purpose of the drama is an affront to the uignity of the art, or a deterioration of its value, Vic'or Hugo did not bluodr when he said, "The beautifal is as useful ss the nsefal, perhaps more so." "For ail that we witness of biauty, All grandeur afTectin? us most, Tass r ir.to iTercal pof fosion And can nevermore be lost." Lillian Ol ott. LA . .

He then turned on the de fenseless wife and struck her down, killing her with a single blow, which crushed the side of her face and head. He said he tied the hands and feet of each with ropes, to keep them from swinging about with the motion of the wagon. Diying nearly a mile further away, he dug a hole and put the bodies therein, covering the grave with straw. He then went back to the ranch house at Garden Grove, took off his clothes and hid them, and washed the hatchet. Then he went to Santa Ana and got Decker and drove with him back to Garden Grove, when they took possession ot the ranch acd went quickly to work. Anschlag says he murdered the Hitchcccks to get the deed to tbe ranch and to get the owners, out of the way without paying for the Eroperty.

Comatock's Latest Oolg. Philadelphia, January 21. A short time ago Anthony Comstock, as chief special agent of the New York Society for the Suppression of Vice, came to this city acd purchased from five different dealers in works of art, a number of picture? which were alleged to be obscene. Mr. Comstock entered complaint against the dealers and they were indicted by the grand jury. The trial of all the cases wa3 taken np today, and after hearing considerable evi dence on both sides, in four of the cises AEEistant District Attorney Ker declined to proceed further, saying he did cot believe the pictures obecere.
