"la Old Madrid."
The Toledo Commercial aaya of this
play, which will be seen here Dec. 24,
beginning at » p. m. ; "In Old Madrid"
came into town last night and moved up
to the People's Theatre, where the usua 1
Bunda ......
The 1
e piece wàs well received and
made'the audience laugh long, healthy
laughs—not laughs that one i* ashamed
of. The piece proved a distinctjiovelty,
nothing like it ever having been seen in
Toledo before. The costumes were Very
pretty ; and the bit of Spanish interior
shown upon the stage was appropriate
and effective. The little comedy Itself
while farcical in nature is treated by tl
cast in a strictly legitimate way. It
as clean, as bright, and as
tertainment as one would care to wit
ness. It is totally and absolutely devoid
of eveh the remotest suggestion of broad
ness and vulgarity, ana for that very
particular, if fôr no other, it should be
praised. All the comedians in the oast
are pleasing singers, and the musical
numbers offered last night were thor
oughly appreciated. Mr. Jones is a
very genial little chap, and his hand
some, manly face and
presence were a great aid to the per
formance. Mr. Gerald, as the nacle,
did a very effective bit of legitimate
comedy, and the remaining members of
the cast were equally as satisfactory.
If "The Old Madrid*' does not proven
success throughout the oountry the rea
son will be that it is too clean and too
decent.

To accept or not to accept the resig
nation, that is the question; whether it
were better to
ry favor with another. To please roue
I must of a necessity displease others,
and by displeasing may ruse opposition
and a world of trouble which nay end
in death, political.
Aye, to suffer political death—how
awful to contemplate—perahaace to
sleep—and dream—of oAoe with honor
and emoluments, that my soul would
Î earn for, but would be unattainable.
o make appointments to suit myself
alone, and yet, no man's displeasure,
fear is a consummation devoutly to be
Wished. ,
Aye, but there is where the friction
comes. Where shall I be when I have
shuffled off
It makes me pause and pant for breath,
to think, that perchance I may never
another office hold, and may hereafter,
in deep and dark oblivion dwell. Hpw
may I ever hear to behold other mortals
enjoying the honors of office that now
are mine and those of my own name
and blood whom I have elected to share
my honors with me. Buch a thing,, me
thinks, would make calamity of a long
life. The pangs of being out of office,
and perchance to grant and sweat under
a weary private life—the dread of the
undiscovered country, through which
Salt river forever ffowsr-from whose
dark shores I might never hope to return
rather prompts me to take care andf not
endanger all by one rash act. Thus
you see how fear of evil consequences
doth make cowards of us demagogue»
I once thought, perchance to reappoint
the chief jnstioe, but a change haaoome
over my intention. Ha! now I have it
and my purpose fixed shall not the name
of action lose. The tendered resigna
