TALE GLEE ASD EAXJO CLUBS COXCERT.Because the Tale University faculty has sup-

pressed the time honored plan of dragging sub-scriptions out of the freshmen for th» athleticfunds, the annual New-York concert of the TaleGlee and Banjo clubs, to be held In th- grand ball-room of the Waldorf-Astoria or. Friday evening,will this year more than ever before hava thecordial support of the local alumni and theirfriends. The receipts from the concerts in thiscity have always been one of the main sources ofsupport for the 'varsity crew. This year the R'.eeclub is trying to earn tillmore, because lass willcome from the usual sources, and the leading

graduates feel that with V.i!¦ crews once moreback in a "winning streak" their -work must notbe hampered by lack of money.

The concert will be an unusually good one. Th»clubs— glee, banjo and mandolin— have recently re-turned from their Easter trip, on which they wereenthusiastically received, and they are in goodtraining to amuse a New-York audience on thistheir only appearance of the year in this city. Th«»new plan of having: an informal dance after theconcert, which has proved so successful, will be anadded feature of the concert.

THE TENAL CODE COVERS ITS USE. AND NO NEW

LAW IS NEEDED.

To the Editor of The Tribune..Sir: In to-day's Issue of The Tribune you have a

short edltorl.il on the present effort? at Albany tosur>prf.«s the use of the word "sterling" on debasedmanufactures. We presume you refer to a billwhich passed the legislature last week, which wasentitled "An Act to Prevent Deception In the Man-ufacture of Certain Articles of Merchandise by As-sociations. Corporation? and Co-partnerships."

We think you must have been misinformed re-garding the fact.?. The bill which passed shouldhave been entitled "An Act to Permit the T'se ofthe Word •Sterling' on Fraudulent Goods."In XSSI the New-York Legislature passed "An Act

to Regulate the Bale of Goods Marked Sterling orSterling Silver, or Coin or Coin Silver." and knownas Sections 364 A and "iB of the Penal Code, andsince that time the word "sterling." when appliedto silverware, has meant that the article bearing-such mark should be 935-1000 parts pure silver.

Becaus< the word "sterling" was being improper-ly used this law was passed In New-York State.and as a result we believe it would be impossible,to find on sale in New-York City to-day any arti-cles stamped "sterling" that were not 825-1000 fine,

or approximately that; in other words, tho law Isso plain and so respected that no manufacturer orst-H'T willinglyInfringes it.

The present efforts are to enact a law whichshall relieve the seller from all responsibility. Theseller can offer for sale any goods, no matter howdebased, bearing the mark "sterling." providedonly that they are not made in New-York State.Inasmuch as a very .small percentage of the manu-facturers are in New-York State, it gives an opendoor for any foreign manufacturer wishing toplace on the market debased goods with this stampto sell the same in New-York State.

This is the gist of this act. and we believe thatyou have been misinformed as to the facts, or youwould not say that "manufacturers nave gone toofar in putting this stamp on alloys largely made upof cheap ami base materials."

The title of the act referred to was carefullydrawn, that it should not at trad attention Ithasno reference to the end sought, and. ifItbecome*¦law, would bo extremely unfortunate to everyhonest merchant and to the public at large Thepublic is fully protected by the present law. Thesurest way to stop fraud la to stop it where It .x-ists. .New-York cannot legislate for other Statesand if she offers Inducements for dlshot shewill find plenty of people that will supply her de-mands.

There is no fresh word to be said about "Dl-_;0=:acy." and the fir?* impression that was madej,yv.—an impression in no way Impaired by time.-

can only now be repeated. Bardou'a felicity in

drama construction has been often and suffi-cient::' demonstrated: his knowledge of human

mature sometimes seems restricted to the neat

Units of Paris. Some men can only see the worldthrough colored glass, and to the pip, It is saideverything looks gray. The adaptation of "Dora"

is comprised in four acts, and it introduces fif-

teen persons. Its action begins at a seaside hotelon the coast of the Mediterranean, and proceeds

and terminates In Paris. Its period of action lagbcut two months: Its time the spring of 1877. Its¦antes consists of four scenes, two of which areParisian interiors. its story revolves around thatpeculiar desire, by which many human creatures

are mysteriously animated, to seem alluringin theayes of others.— to possess Influence, and to present,

extol and indicate the ideals that they entertaineC themselves.— la i story of love, vanity andpower It twists into a single skein the threads

of two Intrigues, one amatory, the other political.

There is nothing fresh in the line of observation,

for Cupid's little dart sticks out of aIn-. all theeosvplicattotu in the history of the world. That

philosophical monarch whose favorite question

¦was. "Who is she?" showed that he had a clearappreciation at human affairs. Many a play hasgrown out of that method of inquiry. In "Diplo-

macy" two women love the same man, and are op-

posed in interest.— through his having preferred

the one before the other.— in Che feverish, mys-

terious, silky circles of European diplomatic life.The originality la m the web of the intrigue. Ajruperb situation is provided, in the second act. aris-

irs out of the disclosure to the husband by oneof his friends cf facts which seem to incriminateTh wife whom he has Just led from the altar. An-

other and stronger situation supervene* upon this,

in which the husband intimates to his wife the

odium that has clouded her image in his passion-

tossed ar.Idistracted heart.The form of the comedy is more admirable than

Its substance. That excess of rich minds, which.

In the Shakespearian epoch, was wont to overflow

sr.c irrigate formless but teeming fields of theatri-

cal fabric, baa suffered a stern repression. Authors

row bestow such strenuous care upon the mannerIn which they desire to say anything, that they

often end by leaving themselves with nothing to

say. ItIs a period of rule and line in thes mat-

ters, and every wild flower of fancy Is Instantly

cut down by the shining sickle of critical judgment.

This comedy, however, certainly culminates in fineform The art of it consists in showing how con-dur.—as It Is forced by the impulses of character.according!:.- as character is affected by experience,—leada to sharp contrasts of condition and purpose,and makes situations fraught with interest, pas-sion, and pathos. The brilliancy of the art is itslight touch, its continuity of design, and Its Instant

cessation when the points are reached. There i? alittle tedtoosnest in the preliminaries, and at thebeginning* of the acts; and there is a sort ofr>2ea for handsome feminine wickedness and grief,—

a plea which stands on a very brittle foundation.—th» curious fancy, namely, that a. girlhood ofhard-ship -'.'. deprivation is. In any way. an ex-cuse for a womanhood of iniquity and shame.Much has been said about woman as op-

pressed and miserable; but observation leads most

thinkers to conclude that woman, In this epoch,

baa everything her own way. and is commonly re-sponsible not alone for her own misery.—if she¦uaTera any.—but for the misery of many men whomshe leads to ruin. And. in general remark uponthe theme of passion and suffering, it may be saidthat human creatures would be calmer and morepatient if they could realize that man has no ob-vious

-----happiness on earth.— that nature does

not promise it ar.d seldom gives It.— that moreendurance of rate and leas personal pother wouldbe the

- - -• of wisdom. Man was made for theworld, and not •'.• world for man. "Diplomacy" isa compact. flrmH*knitted piece; ifnot novel in «üb-ttance, artfully framed to Interest, surprise anlgratify; possessing delicate exaggeration of char-Eeter. probability of incident, occasional equivokeand -, tight trenchant style. Its moment of feel-ing create an Illusion, and thus show themselves to

be genuine; and it baa the eloquence of passion.Above ail it has th» fascination of a deeply andcontinuously Interesting story, told, dramatically.with a consummate skill thai serves to make all itsimprobabilities plausible and its complete structurecongruous sad convincing.

In th*- Empire representation,— which was oh-

Mrved with interest and welcomed with frequentapplai.se. by a large audience.— the authoritative,

incisive acting la done by .Miss Jessie MUllward.Mr Charles Richman. Mr.Edwin Ftevers. and Mr.Guy Standing. Th»re if* some lack of elegance i::

the deportment of the actor, during 'he crucialaeene of OrtosTs explanation. Mr. Favershammanifested no inherent power, no predominance of

AteUnction. and no charm of grace. Theactual, be It foreign office mainer or any-thin; Hw, will slways seem common if Itbe literally copied and in no way "ideal-ize'l" Mr. Standing evinced deep feeling, nr at

l<?2.«t the winning semblance of it.and made Orloftsympathetic and true, a fine fellow and a comradeto be loved and rusted. Mr.Richman has exactlythe frank, open manner and the impulsive eager-

ness fcr Julian Beeuclerc, and be bore himselfsplendidly throughout this ordeal In the more ex-acting passage.— Julian's Inquisitorial Interview withDora,—h* lost control equal:-, of himself and thesituation: there should be no kneeling in thatstorm of passion. He revested a similar flurry Inthe delicate interview With Baron Stein, whereself-restraint and a fine tone of good breeding.—

the uiate superiority of a gentleman,— would tellwith «uch conclusive effect. Mr. Stevens was the

perfect embodiment of craft, as the Baron, butthe implacable cruelty of the man somehowfsi.»-^ to even hint of its existence beneathhi» specious exterior. The varnish shouldnever crack (it did. once, when his hand was re-:farted), but the soul of such men sometimes!locks through their eyes. Miss Anglin has not•learned either to use her voice or so to controlher feeling that she can communicate feeling to

iothers. A suffering woman who flounces up and<!own, screeching or squealing, may caul solici-

tude, but cannot excite sympathy. Dora was weaksad trivial. On the other hand. Miss Millward dis-played power In ml) movement and express. m

raiaot-traiaot-t vital way the passions of love, jealousy, and:hatred. The applause was genuine,— which la oftenBot the case at this theatre— and the curtain calls¦"'ere numerous. There can be no doubt of the mer-''>& success of this revival.

YACHT RWASIND FOCND PIRATES' (SOLD OH WEST

COAST OF AFRICA.

The schooner yacht Kwasind. which for fivemonths was out hunting for 'treasure burled a longttma ago by pirates on the west coast of Africa,returned here on Sunday from New-Orleans, andwas to be docked yesterday afternoon at Brooklyn.

Tho Kwasind. in command of Captain B. W.Henderson, sailed from this country on October 27last on an expedition which was financially backedby 1-. Bedouin, of Baltimore; E. P. Harlng. ofCincinnati, and Charles Spenny. of Columbus,Ohio.

An unsuccessful search was made in sand keysoff Venezuela and Brazil, and then the yacht pro-ceeded across the Atlantic to the west coast ofAfrica, where on a coral reef a chest containingconsiderable gold bullion was dug up. This chestwas buried by a pirate over thirty-five years "ago,and the top of the hole in which it had been placedwas sealed with cement.It is probable that a* soon a? The yacht, which

has passed through storms, is repaired and re-stocked with supplies it willmake another trip tothe African coast, where, on Nightingale Island,another treasure box 13 known to have been burledby pirates. The bullion found paid for the tripandleft considerable over as profit.
