Adams Benefit tho Now Vork San The audience was peculiarly a eal one and for this reason was unusually interesting and picturesque The ushers for onco all had not only gooi clothes but good and urbanity anc it was a pleasure to be shown to the seats By them Every masculine spectator in the a nosegay in lis button hole and a rich aroma of tuberosus ascend ed from the superbly decorated parquette for Miss Nellie Mortimer and Miss stood at the entrance doors of the foyer playing tho part of flower girls aud no to pasa them without a purchase Tha programme was up of no less than fifteen pieces or and of these there were an cn act of Tlie for Scandal an act of Cumille an act of Struck Oil aud au act of Othello In addition Miss Regina Dace n now coin or recited Mr Mills the piano Tony Pator sang Mr Backus imitated Messrs Harridan Hart fooled Mr Gus Williams lee Aimee gave a and Bryants Minstrels came on at the last with drawingroom It may be said that tho special features of this am ple were Camilla and Othello In one Clara Morris appeared and in the other those two wellknown aud at this moment very comedians Mr Sothern Mr Florence assumed serious roles The passed oft brilliantly enough the stage being filled by all the actors who could get upon it and by not a few ot the gentlemanly ushers reminding ono somewhat of those palmy days when the stage was a favorite resort of the audi ence during a performance Despite the of Miss Morris acting aud the interest of Mr McKee Hankins Armand Duval the audience busied themselves their lorgnettes picking out the dis and even making a lit tle cackle when they discovered Mile Aimce standing round with the rest to tho stage and add distinction to the scene as the put it About 4 oclock the Othello was reached and the stragglers came back to the boxes aud great was tho of the assemblage liven the flower girls and the distinguished gentlemen who satin programmes in tho lobby forced their way in forthe great event and when tho curtain went up there was an audible stir of expectation iu the houso Ib was the third act aud Michael strode elegantly on in the person of Mr II Never before had society seen Mr Crisps legs they bad been se so to comody Now they went once across the stage in Jill their beauty and out at tho entrance right the people in the front seats had recovered from the dazzle Then came on in full evening a train yards long It was Lolta and she was followed by the Drew and lago No sooner had Mr Florence reached the middle of the stage than he was grested with a loud and hearty laugh from the house Lotta to think it was fun and pricked up her ears Another laugh followed She gave her train a kick tossed her head and appeared to like it Ingo frowned reprovingly The audience gavi another laugh To make natters worse Othello who now came on was met with the hilarity and it was instantly apparent that the people ex u burlesque a moment the situation was a peculiar one Both Mr Sothern and are experts at and might then and there have turned the act into a roaring farce and split not only tho ears bnt the throats of groundlings But they staunchly re fused to do it They had made up their minds to be serious for once in their lives Lotta that ingenuous oud sportive child of nature was accustomed to do whatever an audience wanted done So she spoke her lines trippingly indeed faces and got two or three guffaws by kicking out her burlesque train The consequence was n singularly 1ml f performance not wholly fish and hardly llesh or fowl When came to the lines I lo not like llin office Hut I inn entered iu tins cause so fur lot by foolish and love I will go there a sound of approbation as if Mr Florences attempts to look foolishly honest had made a hit Too much com cannot be given to these excel lent actors for their wellmeant attempt to play tragedy solemnly and charity for Lotta will remain in the hearts of all who saw that her stock of burlesque consisted of a kick At the close of the act Mr Sothern was recalled and announced that the benefit would realize nearly a very handsome sum most handsomely A Million a From York Herald The disposition of the

we are told in tho au tumn the frost will change the color of the leaves whereas tho frost has noth ing to do with the change in deed in New England that the foliage has changed as if by magic in a single night so that by look ing of the window in the morning tlie eye was surprised with tho spectacle of the world well nigh on fire aud since this transformation togk place in connec tion with the at ow point tho wholo affair is referred to the agency of Jack Frost But why not refer to this prestidigitator the tints of the uppla the rich crimson of the velvet poach and tke of the plum Many years ago this error was pointed out by au eminent botanist who showed that the gorgeous color of the autumn leaf came in the process of ripening and though botany is generally studied in schools the old notion comes back with ho beavers every year showing that rror iu common with truth especially when supported by tho vox will rise again however deservedly crushed o earth Leaves find their parallel in man as al ready and like the human spe cies they may ripon suddenly If how ver anyone to make a mystery of the intensity of the autumnal colors there should be 110 great difficulty in ax plaining tha variety Indeed the apparent superiority over the strength of color in the foliage on the Continent of Europa nay be attributed chiefly to this variety n Great Britain the climate is evidently unfavorable to the production of bright crest tone bnt in parts of Germany the of certain kinds of leaves is quite equal to that of the corresponding in North America At the same ime the
