II resulted in oneus of most favorable promise for
him for we have never seen in the house more
brilliant or enthusiastic audience than witnessed
Parodis Lnc7e.ja upon that evening 1t had been
rumored during the day that Bettin would not
sing, nor Fitz James dance, and the dreary wealth.
er made the prospect al the more wretohed. We
were surprised therefore, to find the house crowd,
cd, and when the curtain rose Mr.. MaFetaek came
forward and said that air Bettjni had assured him
that he could sing, up to an hour When it was too
late Tor him to get out bis posters. That a, the
last moment he declared his inability to appear,
and be was consequently obliged to throw himself
upon the indulgence OF the audience, and 10 offer
them 6ignora Parodi in Lpc1tria. This little
! speech spoken evidently with great feeling, was
received with shouts of applause from the audi
ence, and the performance proceeded Certainly
Seaor Bettin owes the public some explanation OF
this double disappointment.
The circumstances of the evening gave unwont'
| ed spirit to the singers who were satisfied with
themselves and battered by their audience, while
on the other hand. the audience was in the best
possible humor withitset and the singers. There
was that electrical feeling Of sympathy and inter-
est quite peryading the house that is sure to Sc
cure success to the desert
Signora Parodi won new laures She has never
done so well, to our taste, on Saturday even
ing. Her singing and acting were both more sub
! dued, and therefore more efeotiye-for the con
trast of proper repose is necessary to the full i'm
preston Of force We think that our feeling was
shared by the house, for she was enthusiastically
applauded, and with that most Hatterpsly sincere
applause which sweeps suddenly and rresistibly
down the house from the Alnphitheater to the
foot.lights She was recalled after every act, and
reaped goodly harvest Of flowers as she passed
along the front OF the stage. The whole evening
was complete triumph for manager and artists.
AT the close OF the Opera, Mr.. Maretzek was
called out. He acknowledged with much feeling
the indulgence OF the audience sure he said,
that with the sympathy Of the public, he should
succeed against any elimination OF disasters
We are sincerely glad for him that lie has the he
rosm to struggle Oh He is creating debt on
the part of the public toward himself that re may
one day have the pleasure of seeing properly es-
timnted and paid.
We must not close our notice without award
ing due praise to Sig Lorini for his willingness to
oblige the manager and the public by filling the
role of Gennaro at moments notice Sig. Fort
was cast for this part but declined to appear and
Sig L rini although quite indisposed, with great
good nature volunteered to relieve the manager
from this new embarrassment, and sung the part
with great effect. He was greeted with frequent
and enthusiastic applause.
Parodi appears in Norma tonight.
- Mrs z. P LEsDEENIER gives select
Readings at Hope Chapel this evening. She
reads forcbly and clearly selects with good taste,
and an evening may be most proftably spent in
listening to her. Youth of both sexes may be

well by improving such opportunities, and we adj
wise parents to whom two shilliDgs is no barrier
to take the younger branches oil their families to
hear, and discuss the readings with the1a after
ward The art of blending pleasure with profit
is not fully understood yet.
