Roberts os an Actor. Last night we were summoned to witness a private exhibition of Rolliu Roberts' powers as an actor. AVe have several times been asked why we did not reply to Roberts' chal- enge to editors, and until recently we did not know what was meant by the question. Mr. Roberts, in his circular programme, is claiming to be the most gifted, if nt the most skillful, elocu- tiouest, mimic and ventriloquist of the United States, if not the world. His circular is entirely too long for us to publish in full, and comment ou each portion. He expresses a belief that there is a combination of leading actors, whom his advancement would most effect, contributing towards a corruption fund which is being used to keep him out of his profession. We can only state that we have seen no evidence of any such thing. AV'e are not prepared to either in dorse or deny his claim. lie began his performance with what is general ly termed lightning changes, and kept up one continual change to the closo. He is claiming to be the master of nineteen distinct human voices, with at least twelve of them complete in song all in the aame key if required. We made no note of the number of voices, and we are not sufllciently up in sound to distinguish and mark the differeuco between complete chancre and subchmige of voice, etc. He resolved himself from one charac ter into another so readily and so suc cessively that were he to claim to be tho master of fifty voices we could not demy it, wo know so little about the business. :Vs a ventriloquist he handled his little wooden men, or puppetts with a skill which we would not attempt to criticise. Everything was real: the puppetts talked, the voice was in the box, the man was down below, and counted the stairs as he came up, nine teen in all. It was simply the best that we have sa:.'u, we can say no more. It may or may not bi the best before the public, we are not prepared to de cide. The selection in elocution was en titled "Shamus O'Brien," which Was also beyond our criticism. AV'e con sidered the rendition simply grand but from not having seen enough of the celebrites to educate us up to the mark, we will be ob.iged to alse pasa this matter without an opinion as to the real extent of merit. On the whole, we consider Mr. Rob erts an adept in his profession, and al though we do not credit his being pre vented by a combination of actors, we do not understand why he is not filling a high position in his profession in stead f being obliged to appeal for an opening at any price. His proposition is liberal enough, but were there two fortunes embodied in this one oppor tunity, we are so situated that we could not at present embrace it. Fur thermore it is out of our line, but were we able aiM desirous of speculating in the theatrical business, we would ak nothing better than is offered by Mr. Roberts, and we do not believe that many theatrical managers would ex amine his merits without giving him a lift. We incline to th belief that Mr. Roberts' own diffidence is the barrier of his success. AVe have been acquaint ed with him for nearly three years and to this day he has not presented us with one of his circular programmes , although he appeals to the press for indorsement. AVe wish him every success in the future. Church Services Tomorrow. EPISCOPAL.

Roggen went out to Ildst- iug4 yesterday to atteud a meeting of the reunion committee which is held there today, for the purpose of making ar rangements for the grand army reunion. The principal matter that will be con sidered will be the miestion of tents or other protection. It Denver ijets ihj 1,000 tents she luu applied for to be used duriuff the grand national encanln- ment there, it is thought that they can bo secured on their way back, for U3d at Hastings. If this can not be done it is possible that no applica tion will be made for tents, but that barracks will be built. Mr. Roggen informs us that the state of Mississippi has extended an invitation to the Nebraska National guards to participate iu a grand prize drill, to ho held at Xovv Orleans some time next summer. The first prize will be 1,09 and the second $1,000.' It promises to be a magnificent affair. State Journal. Renry Roeck -' Has an elegant line of baby carriages for fcale very cheap.
