The play will bo mounted with Mr. Davis' usual carefulness to detail that has always been a feature with him. Tho sconory having been painted and his Pittsburg house under his per sonal direction, and the Brooklyn bridge, by moonlight Is said to be a marvel of tho scenic painter's art.

That tho play has stood the test of time and caprice of the public is not to be wondered at. Evor since its conception it i as been a brilliant success. It affords Mr, Davis an op portunity to do a very clover and uni que bit Of character acting. As a fun creator in this particular line Mr. Davis lias no equal.

Tho Ktruttoi- lias BoundlSM Conceit?Tlio Woman Who Stci>H W ith Painful Accu racy?Ali, Hero ConiOH tlio Mull With Steady Trouil und iUiinly C:irrlut;o. It is Plutarch who says that "An ac tion of small note, a short saying or jest will distinguish a person's roal character nioro than tho greatest sieges or the most important battles," and Lavater, til.' father of physiognomy, declares that no man can set a glass upon a table without betraying to a certain extent his individuality. True, no doubt, but ono must have tho keen vision, tho well trained eye, in order to interpret these mystic signs. Tho indications Of char acter us exhibited iu the walk of a per son, however, uro patent to every be holder and may bo deciphered by the most untutored, the least astute. Sit by your window some fine morn ing and watch the men and women as they pass to their varied avocations. Tako, for example, tho man just ap proaching. His chin is elevated to an angle of 20 degrees, a suit important frown corrugates Iiis brow, a complacent smile plays about his mouth, he struts rather thun walks. Need I point hiin out as a man of boundless conceit, of monumental brass, of colossal gall? His amiability is imperturbable, for one who is absolutely sell* satisfied is apt to tako an indulgent view of the world at large. His faith in himself is limitless. No traitorous feeling of self distrust will over cause his failure. Ho will under tako without tho slightest misgiving What A man of ten times his ability would hesitate to attempt. His success in lifo is assured, and yet ono cannot help feel ing Unit if traced to its roots it would bo found to spring from defects rather than merits. The dress of tho woman comic.g just behind him is arranged with mathemat ical exactness. Tho placing of each pin has been a matter of special care. Her lips are compressed, her hands clasped primly before her, her steps are taken with painful accuracy; there i3 not a hail bread th's difference in the length of theui. If you follow her to her homo, you will And that tlio same scrupulous ness prevails in the disposition of every thing about her. Tho furniture is ar ranged with rectangular exactness, there is not a pin out of place in her bureau drawers, and tho jars upon her pantry shelves are marshaled like sol diers on parade. She will accomplish no great work in life, however. She is a precisionist and spends her time labori ously doing nothing. And. also, tako Oars of this woman. She is absolutely Uncompromising, and all about her must he lopped Off Or stretched out to fit tho Procrustean idoa of order which exists ill her own mind. Hut don't?you who arc in search of a wife?fall into the opposite on or of chous ing as tt life companion the girl with tlio fl'OUSy head, the Skirt Of whoso dress dips iu points, whose gait, is careless, who swings her arms as sho walks. She is generous, warm hearted, good natur ed, possessed of noble traits, but con fusion, with all its hideous train of evils, follows in her wake. Ono foresees for heran untidy, chaotic household, irreg ular, ill arranged meals and uncleanly, badly governed children. If her husband happens to ho a strong, an exceptionally strong man, ho will simply bo supremely wretched and uncomfortable. If not, his ambition will bo paralyzed, bis dis position spoiled; he will esonpo tho phys ical discomforts of bis situation byovery moans in bis power and perhaps drown tho recollection of them in drink. Tho man with the shuffling, uncertain gait, whoso steps seem to be directed by no guiding power within, is weakmitid ed. Thoro is nothing which more surely betrays feebleness of intellect than tho walk. And ho of the awkward gait, tho restless manner, the furtive glance, is tho morbidly self conscious man, who cannot for a moment divest himself of tho sense of boiug obsorved; who lives, so to speak, under a glass case. And ho of tho soft, cautious tread, who gives you tho impression of creeping upon some object us a cat creeps up upon a bird, is foliuo in bis nature. He is not to bo trusted; ho is treacherous; every faculty of his mind is poised for a spring. Lot nio commend to your confidence tho man just coining into view?tho mau with tlio earnest eye, the manly carriage, tho firm tread, who walks with eimplo, straight forward directness, as if toward some given point, Ho is "stable ill all his way*."
