Hau been a student at the American Academy of Dramatic Art, and has lakin ])art in many amateur per formances, as well as directing sev eral. These plays for the last two years and likewise the one this year have been distinguished by having music comi)osed exclusively for them. Dean Charles G. Vardcll, Jr., of the School of Music, has created settings for the choruses which suggest the spirit of the classical world and have great deal of individuality. These clioruses are sung by picked voices from the College Glee Club, and are trained by Mr. Ernest I-. Schofield, of the Voice Department. The Characters are as follows: Orestes—Gertrude Schwalbe. Guardian of Oreste.s—Jane Rond- thalcr. Electra—Margaret Hauser. Chrysotlicmis—Elois Padrick. Ch'temncstra—Patrica MacMullan. Egithus—Babe Silversteen. Pyladcs—Cortlandt Preston. Ladies of Mycenae—Betty Stough Nancy McNeely, I.ucy James, Sunny Kirby, Virginia Thomp son, Mary Mills. Could it be a fashion show that I IS seeing? Hardly!! I was stretch- on the grass in front of the pus door of Alice Clewell Building watching ’em go by: First came Ga rett and Burroughs Co. Eacli had blanket under one arm and a pillo under the other. They toured on ov toward Main Hall making a most horrible noise which some people ognize as a liog call. Next came Carrol and Preston fussing loudly about which would get the most something. They had equipment as Maria Jean and followed the same path. Before they had got out of sight along came Dorabelle Graves a Mary Sample. Dorabelle seemed be worrying about freckles and May' was trying to assure her that the more the better because more frec kles, less face to look at. They struggled on, with their blankets and pillows, along the same path the others had taken. Next came Thorpe and Siewers— they seemed to be ashamed of where they were going with their pillows and blankets for they kept looking furtively around as though afraid of I was dying with curiosity—what could it all be about? I fell asleep only to be awakened an hour and a half later by moans and groans. The fashion show was coming back. This time there were only two groups— The first was composed of Mary Sample and Jean. They were car- 11 the blankets and pillows— tiie big suck-ins. The other group made up of Katie, Mary C., a, Rachel, Cokey and Dorabelle. 1 the pitiful sounds which were l)eing created by these girls I gath ered that there must have been an- otlier civil war and that these were the wounded. day this same group came trouping out equipped as before. This day however there were several additions to the group — Hooks, Hemp Edgerton, Ji liams, Claudia Foy, Grace Pollock, Annie Shuford, Mary B. and Wan- Curiosity got the best of me so I decided to follow them. If there to be another war I was determined to liave a front seat. One gla me I was mistaken. There was to be no war. Now everything was clear as day. Stretched out here, yon der and everywhere were girls get ting sunburned. Everyone else who is as far behind as I was, take a hint from now the season for sunburn—get vour pillows and blankets and join the happy party and let’s all get a new coat! (It’s been a long since I had one). Macauley Makes Prophesies Regarding Destiny of Our Nation To ILnry S. Randall, Holly Lodge S. Kensington, London, May 23, 1857.. Dear Sir; You are surprised to learn tliat I have not a high opinion of Mi Jefferson—and I am a little sui prised at your surprise. I am cej tain that I never wrote a line, and that never in Parliament, in ( versation, or in the hustings, - place where it is the fashion court the populace — uttered a indicating an ojiinion that the preme authority in a state ought to be intrusted to the majority of citizens told by the head; in other words, to the poorest and norant part of society. I have long been convinced that institution: purely democratic must, sooner o: :er, destroy liberty, or civiliza m, or t)oth. In Europe, where the population dense, the effect of such institu- )ns would be almost instantan- us. What happened lately in -ance is an example. In 1818 a pure dimocracy was established there. During a short time there was reason to expect a general spoilation, a national bankruptcy, a new ])artition of the soil, a maxi mum of prices, a ruinous load of taxation on the rich for the purpose of supporting the poor in idleness. Such a system would in twenty years have made France as poor and bar- tiarous as the France of the Carlo- vignian’s. Happily the danger w'as averted; and onw there is despotism, a silent tribune, an enslaved press. Liberty is gone; but civilian has been saved that, if we had a purely demo cratic government here, the effect would be the same. Either the poor would plunder the rich, and civiliza tion w’ould perish; or order and prop erty would be saved by a strong mili tary govenrment, and liberty would perish. You may think your country en joys an exemption from these evils. I wil frankly own to you that I am of a different opinion. Your fate I believe to be certain, though it is de ferred by a psysical cause. As long as you have a boundless extent of fertile and unoccupied lands, yoi laboring population will be far mo atvcase than the laboring populatit of the old world, and while that the ease, the Jefferson policy m; continue to exist without causing any fatal calamity. But the time will come when New England will be as thickly peopled as old England. Wages will be low; and wil fluctuate with you as much as with us. You ill have your Manchesters and Bi inghams, hundreds of thousands of artisians will surely be out of work. Then your institutions will be fairly brought to the test. Distress every where makes the labor mutinous and discontented, and incli ten with eagerness to agitators who that one man should have a million tell him that it is a monstrous iniquity while another cannot get a full meal. In bad years, there is a plenty of grumbling here, and sometimes a lit tle rioting. But it matters little; for here the sufferers are not the rulers. The supreme power is in the hands of a class nhmerous indeed, but select; of an educated class, of a class which is and knows itself to be, deeply interested in the security of property, and the maintenance of order. Accordingly the malcontents are firmly but gently restrained. The bad time is got over without robbing the wealthy to relieve the indigent. The springs of national prosperity begin to flow again; work is plen tiful wages rise, and all is tranquility and cheerfulness. I have seen Eng- landpass three or four times through such critical seasons as I have de scribed. Througji such timtes the U. S. will have to pass, in the course of the next century, if not m this. How will you pass through them? I heartily wish you a good deliverance. But my reason and my wishes at war,’ and I cannot help forboding the worst. It is quite plain th.at government ilutely at its mercy. The day will ime when in the State of New York, multitude of people, none of whom has had more than half a breakfast, :pects to have more than hrif a dinner, will chose a legislator. Is it possible to doubt what sort of legisla ture will be chosen? On one hand is a statesman preaching patient re spect for vested rights, strict ob servance of public faith. On the other is a demagogue, ranting about the tyranny of capitalists and usercrs and asking why anybody should be permitted to drink cham pagne, and to ride in a carriage while thousands of honest folks are in want of necessities. Which of the two candidates is likely to be prefer red by a workingman who heard his children cry for more bread? I ser iously apprehend that in some such season of adversity as I have de scribed you will do things which will prevent prosperity from returning; that you will act like people who should, in a year a scarcity, devour the seed corn, and thus make the t year not a year of scarcity but of absilute famine. 'I'here will be, spoliation. The spoliation rease the distress will pro duce fresh spoilation. 'I'here is noth ing to stop you. Your Constitution all sail and no anchor. As I said before, when a society has entered this d')wnward progress, either lization or liberty' must perish. Either some Caesar or Napoleon will seize the reins of government with a strong hand, or your republic will be as fearfully plundered and laid waste by the barbarians in the twentieth itury as the Roman Empire was in the fifth—with this difference, that the Huns and Vandals who ravaged the Roman Empire came from with out, and that your Huns and Vandals 'lave been engendered within own country, by your own insti tutions. 'I'hinking thus, I cannot reckon Jefferson among the benefactors of mankind. I readily admit that his in tentions were good, and his abilities considerable. Odious stories ' have been circulated aboute his pri\Ve life; but I do not know on what evi dence; these stories re.st; and I think that it is probable that they are false monstrously exaggerated. I have doubt that I shall derive both easure and information from your I have the honor to be, dear sir. Your faithful servant, T. B. MACAULEY. —From The Pointer.
