The play of East Lynne is one of the most pathetic and emotional to be found in the modern drama, and always atttracts a good house. The College hall, therefore, was well filled last night with an audience to wit ness the play, and to see Miss Ada Gray in the leading parts of Lady Isabel Vane and Madame Vine. From the first the interest of the audience was awakened, and kept en chained until the close. Miss Gray portrayed with great effect the beau tiful, jealous and loving wife, and the repentant, heart broken woman. At the close of the second and third acts, she received a call before the curtain in appreciation of her talent, and in the fourth act, in which is portrayed the death bed scene of her little son, and in the fifth and last, in which she dies filled with remorse for the errors of her life, when she has "tried to bear the cross, but its weight has proven too heavy" for her, she received still more practical recognition of her genius by a co pious flow of tears throughout the auditorium.

Tneift was a large audience in attendance, the dress circle and gallery being crowd ed, and the parquette circle having a goodly delegation. On the whole this is one of the liveliest and merriest Humpty Dumpty entertainments Detroit has had in several seasons. In the specialty act are several ad mirable leatiues, tlie most surprising, even startling, of which, is tn per lormunce of the renowned Fire King, Kcl Mucab who lunches on red hot iron, caresses a fiercely heated shovel wit!; his bare arms and face, drinks boiling olive oil, and executes a dance mi sheet of hot iron. To night lie will vary his performance by drinking a quantity of molten lend. Mattie Antonio was a graceful Columbine, and she also danced a straight jig very artistically.

Correspondence of the Visitor. More, than a score of years have passed by since I closed my college days. It was an epoch i:i my history to myself although others have seem ed to take no note of it- It was a law of the school thai; each graduate should write r.n essay or speech, read it to the President of the college, let him criticise and correct it, and then on commencement day, the graduate must stand up before the people and deliver his speech. There were two difficulties in my way of obeying the school law. I was in the first place, inexperienced in speech andwriting, and then I was too bashful to speak it before the people. But I broke over the first, selected my subject and at it I went. I finished my speech ? and a poor thing it was, that is, I see now that it was. There were six in our class and our c ommencement came in the short nights of June. Six speeches, and all straight along without rest in the sweltering weather of J une ! It was too much the President asked some ot us to be " excused" and my timidity led me to gladly accept his proposition. All the others spoke and most of them, if not all fell lifeless on the audience. The speakers alone seemed to enjoy the fun. Friends came to me afterwards and exj ressed regret that I had not spoken they wished to hear me, for they believed that I could make a good speech. I kuew that it was a miserably poor one. The kindness of friends gave me moie credit than my speech would have brought me. I During these years, I have heard many speeches and I can say that si lence on the part of the speakers and imagination on the part of the people would have improved nine tenths ot them. And yet the boys must speak on commencement day ! An Ex-Gkaduate. Miss Helen Mitchell, says a St. Louis journal, a very handsome young lady ana elegantly attired, was recently fined $o for appearing on the public streets intoxicated. Come, come, ladies ; this will never do. If you must imitate man copy his noble virtues, not his baser ones. A dying man was found by the roadside in Camden county ; he said he was attacked by three men hired by a young lady and a mulatto maa to murder him ; when found a large knife was clutched in his hand, and h seemed to have fought bravely for his life ; his name was ascertained to be W.D. Sykes, from ElizabethCity Assassination of the Czar of Russia. A rispatch from St. Petersburg says: "As the EniPior was returning from a parade in Michdmnge, about 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon, a bomb was thrown which exploded under the Czar's carriage, which was consider able damaged.

' The Loudon Tinio3 has the- follow ing from St. Petersburg: A Dicta tor's bulletin, published at 3 o'cleck in the afternoon, states that both legs wore broken below the knee, the low er part of the body severely injured, and the left eye torn from its socket. The Grand Duko Michael was not hurt. The assassins were disguised as peasants. One report states that one of them was so roughly handled that he has sines di.d. A paper does not cost much. That is the reason why so many walk into an office help themselves and walk out. To prevent this little steal, it is veritably announced that a shrewd editor trained a parrot to watch visi tors to the office' If one picked up a paper and attempted to go off with out paying for it, the bird would sing out, with startling clearness: '"Stop thief! stop thief! Ilang it, bring that paper back, or pay for it!" By this means the editor receives nearly all the money for his papers, which gives him quite a lift.
