There is not a sterner pean criticism^ — we f&uhd’a peeked opponent to tli^ Bas^i Bftttttkg l^s. tem than Suleiman P-istn, but th.se audience of New York’^ most critcal and cultivated play-goers. When u Medea” entered. we were spell- hortnd. Not the grand physique, the uiifguiliceut j>ose of every situation, the deeply clear, incisive utterance, nor even the wonderful them I play of a countenance that shed emotion as a cloud sheet ligliMiing; not these, but a nameless something, born of them, which I can only name magnetism, held me as 1 had never been held before. 1 had £?«•» “ Medea” played before, I had seen the little and the litile-great strut in the robes of the Kenneth. Turks Sacking a Town. lt»!ii>lijzoak* Pillaging and Xnrctrrliig to tha Long lain Strrrt of Elens. (From tha London Times’ Elens Letter. | We are in Elen# after a sharp day’s fighting, characterized, I aln glad to say, by fifty of those acts of ferocity, Turkish and Circassian free lances have been raised by the central gov ernment into a situation quiteb -yoiid control, and any attempt at suppres sion would transform them into even less controllable brigands. We are in Elena, and the sack of thc pla<-e is now in full -wing. From the window of the house in which I have sought a few iniiniies of quiet to jot down these notes, and which overlooks the long main street of this little town, 1 see the ruin progressing last. To through the chest, lying as befell, and a little further, laid out stiff and straight under the protecting fruit of a cook’s shop, was the body of a Russian, clad in shirt and draf ers, clean and tine of texture, apparently the remains of some civil fniioiiontriy.

Thus, if I in the real flesh and lay before my eyes the struggling motherhood and madness, last, ambition and weakness, that made her hell in her own heart. From that|night, I believed Janan- sclick the greatest, actress I had ever seen, I have seen her compared with Jean Davenport, Heron, and their strong sisterhood, with Ri-tori and Seebnch, and with the ballad-girl of the line de Ildder—Rachel, the meteordike Jewess, who thrilled the world with her wondrous power of shrewd appreciation, toned by wild ambition and tempered by almost fierce self-culture. With all these have I seen Janauschck compared, and yet, I sit before her magnetic power, and it draws me, like the handles of some resistless battery, back to the belief that came resist* lessly the night I first felt its sway. Of the other actresses I have seen, the one who, in my opinion, came nearest equaling her, was Mrs. Landers, who played to us here in the winter of 1874, and who now j t * l,c them to participate in the loot; lives in an attractive home in Wash- j hut in the excitement of the victory [of the incidents is lost, say that the Bashi-Bazotiks and Cir* oaRsians are battering doors and shut ters with the butt ends of their mus* kets, slashing window frames to pieces with their yantaghans, blowing oft locks with their revolvers, throw ing the contents of houses and shops into the streets, still it is only two or three houses that the reader pictures to himself, while what I want to describe is going on on both sides of the way all down the main s’reet of Elena, which * 3 a good deal more than a mile long. In the byways, too, so far as they lend themselves to such work, the depredators are at work howling and hooting, drunk with the joys of 8|>olintion, and red hot with the excitement of destruc tion.

Later, JannuFohck made a tour of the country, from crit ical Boston to phlegmatic St Louis. Everywhere, the ovation was the same; and she conquered republican America as she had the crowned heads of Europe, when they lavished on her the ricli jewels she still hears with her. Then, the ambition seized her to conquer the language of Shakspcnrc; and genius, untiring industry’ and sympathy, in an inetedibly short time, gave the writer the privilege of seeing her in Schiller’s great play of “ Mary Smart,” and as “ Deborah,” in Dr. Mr,scnt!ial’n great play, more familiarly known to us as “Leah, the Forsaken.” Such is Janauscliek; horn in Fragile, flashing from court to court; now crowned with diamonds by the Czar at St. Petersburg; now driving the Schutzcnfest of Frankfort to a pitch that made them rush upon the stage and hear her in triumph through the stree ts. Such she would be, did she play in a bam with ragged strollers; and such, Augusta will have the privilege of seeing her on two nights next week—Monday night in “ Brnnshild,” a German tragedy, and Tuesday night in “Catherine of Russia, M supported on each occasion by Mr. James H.

I was in so soon after the troops that when I went up the street, it was comparatively emp ty. On a little bridge over a rivulet which crosses one end of the ton’ll lay three Russians dead, and the way was almost barred by a dead horse lying still harnessed to a. broken fourgon; but as I went on the Banins came rushing past, and soon the street was filled. Shop after shop was hurst open. Now a grocer’s from which skins and bladders filled with cheese and Russian butter were thrown into the street; here sugar was the at traction, and the Bashis tliru-t the white sugar jumps by* handfuls into their breasts and into the folds of their turbans, and when they were stuffed, scattered the rest 'about the street. It must have been a ; Bulgarian feast day ycsteiday, for in all the grocers’ and bakers’ shops there was holi-lay cake, u| on which the Bashis pounced with childish delight. Now a draper’s shop was tapped, and the yari s ana rougher goods were thrown out to be trampled under foot, while the long yards of calico and cloth were dragged forth, the pillagers chopping oft* with their yataghans such lengths as they could securej • From the vintners the casks of win© It is a universal rule, which, asifar as I know, has no exception, tliat great men always resemble their mothers, \yho impress their mental and physical mark upon their sons.*— Michelet. A woman frequently resists the love she feels, but cannot resist the love she inspires. — Madame Fee. Love in a Woman’s life is a histjgjy; in a pian’s, an episode.—Madame de Stud. There exists among women a se cret tie, like that among priests of the same faith. They hate each otfuir, yet protect each other’s Interests.— Dhterot. No woman, even the most intel lectual, believes herself to be decid edly homely.—Stahl. Great ami rare heart-offerings 'are found almost exclusively nmafug women ; nearly all the happiness a»d most blessed moments in love are of t heir creating; and so also in friend ship, especially when it follows love.— Dados. Providence has so ordained it that only two women have a true interest in the happiness of a man his own mother and the mother of his chil dren Besides these two legitimate kinds of love, there is nothing be tween the two creatures except vain ['excitement, painful ami idle delusion.

Most of their faults women owe to us, whilst we are indebted to them for most of our better qualities.— Laaeste. —The receipts for duties for the year ending June 30ih, 1877, in all districts of the United States, were *130,050,493 07; for customs tees and penalties, 81,044,712 84; from internal revenue, -ill 18,630,407 83 ; from tax on circulation and deposits in national hanks, 87,078,550 96. —Speaking of fire insurance, the Jhdietiu says, in 1874, a dollar of loss represented $239 of insurance; in 1875, 8227 91, and in 1876, only 8222 49. The statistics of losses by fire in 1877, show an increase of loss over 1876, and it is not unreasonable to suppose that a dollar of preniium will not carry so large a risk in 1878 as it did las* year or the year before. —There are over thirty uuwedded diplomats at Washington, including the German Minister and his Secre tary of Legation, the reprcsent4tive3 of Italy, Venezuela, Belgium, (josta Rica, Turkey, Chili and the Nether lands, besides seven unmarried clerks and attaches in the Spanish Em bassy, four at the British, four at the French, three at the Japanese, and two each the Russian, Anstriau and Italian. —The sugar dealers in Havana are in trouble, and failures have become the order of the day.
