...Janauschek appeared as Lady Macbeth, her greatest impersonation. With the exception of a few peculiarities of pronunciation, which soon escape notice as the play proceeds, her conception and delivery of the part was beyond all criticism, and the character was represented with a force and impressiveness rarely seen. The support was unusually weak for the Globe, but may be accounted for by Mr. Sheridan's illness and the consequent changing of parts. Poor as it was, it hardly needs an apology, for it served as a dark background upon which Madame Janauschek's superb acting stood out with a vivid...
...return of Miss Maggie Mitchell, one of Boston's favorites, has been received with crowded and enthusiastic houses. The play last week was "Jane Eyre," a play which gives full scope to Miss Mitchell's superior abilities as an actress. Mr. Shewell, another old Boston favorite, furnished a fine support as Lord Rochester, while the rest of the cast was very creditable.

But not only does he raise and support armies; he creates navies. He buys a line of steamers, comprising the finest boats in the country; but their chief value to him, after all, is in adding to the many titles he already enjoys the new one of Admiral. He drives a team which he is sure cannot be excelled...
...Courant is especially vexed, and proposes to wait with Christian calmness for the hair-pulling which cannot be avoided after our second number. It also takes occasion to express the withering contempt with which the Courant, from its little pedestal, views the country colleges. "Feeling secure of the support of the only tribunal for which we have the least regard, the sympathy of the members of Yale College, we snap our fingers, as we have ever done, in the faces of Squashville and Pumpkintown, and defy them to bring on their bears." The opportunity of introducing an attack upon...
