AN ENGLISHMAN'S HOME.
The English Censor of Plays licensed "An Englishman's Home" only on the condition that there was nothing in the play to connect the invaders with the Germans. the troops that played havoc with poor Brown's house and peace of mind j were referred to as those of "The Empress of the North." Care was taken that their uniforms should not be of German patterns, and no men tion was made of Germany. But no one had the slightest doubt as to what country was really referred to. One or two papers, in their notices of the play, spoke openly of the German invaders, and in a day ortwo the whole country, the Censor notwithstanding, was discussing the possibilities of a German invasion in the light of the play.
