...Worse than that, worse than that," groaned Jack. "It's the first of the month, and my accounts are not begun yet; the governor came down on me last month, says he 's had enough of $5 charity, $5 sundries, &c., and that in future I must keep my accounts exact. O Al, if matches were made in heaven, accounts certainly were made somewhere else; say, you 're accustomed to manufacture something out of nothing on the Crimson, help me to manufacture $50 worth of accounts from nothing...

Many of the troupe, as Duplan and Mezieres, are old favorites, always excellent and always welcome. Mlle. Marie comes to us with the perfect musical and dramatic education of her elder sisters, and with the additional attraction of youth. Her acting is a nightly surprise, and her singing is worthy of serious opera. Her Clairette, Duchesse, and Boulotte are marked by a cleverness...
