Senator John A. I.ognu hat recently
appeared In n now ivle. Tho Illustrious
rcprescntatl vu ol tho Interest of thu great
State of Illinois nt tho capital, has turned
play-wrlght, nnd In the U'e of his pen In
nn unwonted direction 1ms lound relief
and plcasnrc In the long drawn-out
days of convalescence from Illness. Lo
gan has written n llay a farce depleting
the hopes, the fears, tho embarrassments
and tho draw-backs which wait on tho
"rural member'' on his arrival In Wnh
Ington and while lie is becoming Initia
ted In nil the "Ins nnd outs" of life, po
litical, social and olliervle. nt the cap
ital. The character. In the play nre: tho new
member; the Washington landlady; ap
plicants lor otllcc; a gentleman who
wishes to secure the now member' n
distance In getting through an appropri
ation forthe'Anglo-Aiiicrlcnn-Kuropcan
Grand Tnlon Balloon company,"n mam
moth corporation with n capital of
$C,000,000 divided Into shares ot M cents
each, which asks congress to guarantee
its bond, and also, as n mere matter of
form, the Interest, on them also;" tho "in
terviewer;" the gentleman who prom
ised to furnish the new member with
ready made speeches on the llnanclal
question, nnd a few others of less import
ance. Logan's play was "put upon the
boards" at a private residence in Wash
ington City n lew nights ago, by nn am
ateur company, nnd was witnessed by a
distinguished nudience among whom
were lion. Martin I. Townsend, of Xew
York: Hon. U. L. Fort, of Illinol ; Hon.
Joseph Monroe, of Ohio; I Ion. C. B. Far-
well, of Chicago; Senator and Mrs. Alll-
oii, of Iowa; Senator .Dick Oglesby, of
Illinois; JSenator and Mrs. Cameron, of
Wisconsin", and Hon. W. A. Wheeler, ol
Xew York.
Senator Logan, who Introduced the
play, Is thus described by a Washington
letter-writer :
"As to his personal appearance, he i
of middle size, and ha of late a tendency
to corpulency. His sallow skin, long co.il
black hair ami mustache, his dark pierc
lnjr eve. zlve him a decidedly Indian as
pect, and have earned him the title of
"the Modoc." He is even swarthier than
Col. Boudlnot, the Cherokee Interpreter."
While the preparations behind the
scene were being completed, Logan en
tertained the audience by giving recita
tions of "A Frenchman's idea of skak-cs-rK-ire,"
and "Vot i de Matter Mil Dose
Koe':M In their appropriate dialects, and
of the spirited IrMi ballad, "Shainns
O'Brien.",.
The senator" larce wa imiiien-ely en
joyed by the audience, who pronounced
it true to life. "Could the capabilities or
the situations be more fully developed,"
-ays a corrc5iondent, "and the whole
struuz together on some such slight
thread of love-making as run through
'Box and Cox.' 'The Irish Tiger," or 'lei
on Varle Franeals.' so as to give it a unity
which It does not now pokes', its sub-
l.-t and other merits iul"ht make It a
farce ol national reputation."

state hi views of the lacts which led to
the failure of Ihe mutual council. It was
very Important they should know
whether or not the Plymouth church
committee was censured for nny action
they had taken In relation lo the mutual
council.
Speaking of Ihcabsrnci' ol thoncoeslty
for calling the l!ev. Div. Storrs and Bud
dlngtou unit Tllton, and Boweii, as no
questions concerning them weio to be
considered bv tho council, the Bev. Mr.
Sturtevant said he listened with a great
deal of reluctance t the reinaks made
about the Church of thu Pilgrims nnd
the Clinton Avenue Church nnd their
pastor. The mutual council failed from
sonic reason, and they wanted to know
that reason.
Dr. Wnlcott, chairman, on question

Tlie discussion of the pending question

while eries of rule-tlon were heard, said
the committee were not only willing, hut
anxious that Van Cott should appear be
