M iss Ada Gray, supported .by C has.
A. Watkins' troupe, will appear in this
city to-night in Camille. She is a fine
emotional and tragic actress, and is said
to have no living peer in some of her fa
vorite characters. The Cincinnati Com
mercial says:
"Last Monday evening we welcomed a
new face, a stranger to our city, an ar
tist so thorough in her delineation of
passion as to deceive her audience re
garding the identity of self. It was a
welcome relief, and we hail her advent
with unalloyed pleasure. Miss Gray is
destined to staid in the front rank of her
profession. Nature has moulded her in
her kindest moods. ' A face full of ex-,
nression. and an eye capable of emitting
at a single glance the feeligs that stir
the soul, and a presence tnat is com
manding and full of grace, added to a
voice that rises high in scenes f passion,
withers with scorn, and pleads for pity in
its wpAith of tenderness. Wo voice, un
less we accept the lower register of Mr,
Forrest, contains such a wealth of organ
tones, such range, such compass, wonder
fnl reserve nower in a vocal sense. Her
thorough and complete assumption of a
part tells what a mistress of her art Miss
Gray is. ! She has - thrown her strong
nature boldly into her personation, which
is not only grand, but a beautiful and en
during picture of art."

A Card. ,
WiunxaTOx, March 17th, 1S31.
Editor Rktiew.-
I am glad to learn from an advertise
ment in this morning's Star, "the opin
ion u general, thai the nomination of
Capfc J ohn F. Divine and CoL Wm. L;
Smith for Aldermen of the Second Ward
is the best and strongest that Can be
made."
The ideas underlying what is known
as the "development theory," are, per
haps, seldom thought of in connection
with practical polilics ; and yet, . one of
the most important and significant
branches of modern political science is
founded logically on the- much-talked-of
doctrinfrof iihe survival of thejfittest."
One of-the best hopes awakened in the
minds of .the good citizens of this city at
this time is that this doctrine of the
"survival or the fittest" is tcvbe applied
in the selection of tha officers . who are
to conduct the afiairs ot the corperation
for the next two years. It is encourag
ing in the highest degree ' to notice the
laudable disposition manifested to put
and retain tbe right men in the right
place. V
The office of Alderman has been so sat
isfactorily filled by Capt. Divine that ap
preciation of ms services nd a desire to
retain them, are only a creditable- appli
cation of this doctrine, and but a just
tribute to a most worthy citizen.
- The nomination of CoL Smith would
also be a recognition not only of the
right man in the right place, but of right
principles, and as such would be hailed
and welcomed by all the intelligent por
tion of the community. His long and
valuable experience in financial affairs
is regarded as investing him with pecu
liar qualifications for the delicate duties
of Alderman, and if- elected, the city
would then have a Board in which there
would be no lack of good Mayor tim
ber. His qualifications and natural en
dowments can but awaken anticipations
of exceptional efficiency in that office;
Let the Secend Ward nominate Capt.
Divine and CoL Smith and it will per
form an act that will elicit responses of
the warmest approval from the good citi
zens of the entire city. : ; : T.
Coaptations
: If the thousands that bow have their
rest and comfort, destroyed by complica
tion of liver and kidney complaints would
give nature's remedy, Kidney-Wort, 'a
trial they would be. speedily 'cured. It
acts im both organs "at tne same time
and therefore completely fills the bill for
a perfect remedy. If yon have a lame
back and distorted kidney use it at once.
