contract, we'll those concerning the constitu-
tionalty of which doubt has been raised only to
Justify tyrannical majority inficting wrong. Can
any provision of the Constitution be palmer than that
which requires the surrender of fugtves from labor
or, in plain language, runaway slaves! The courts
have so decided, and the common sense of mankind
recognizes the simple provision in all its force and
effect. The Constitution requires each member OF
State Legislatures and all the officers of State take
solemn oath to maintain its provisions. With this
oath upon their consciences they have enacted laws
violating this provision, and given protection to the
fugtive-denying the their State courts; for
bidding citizens to aid in the recovery, yea, making
such aid highly penal offence. This disregard oi
the sanction of oath in the passage of the law is
consummated in its execution, and popular opinion
sustans the outrage. Can more conclusive ev

Messenger complains that, although he buys the best
tea, his wife seldom gives him cup which is sat

great amateur in making tea, left the following re-

the first appearance Of the pri1nd donna, the
Aston Place Opcra-ho s taken from the New
York Star Of the 9Th instant:
"The debut Of Sgnorina Teresa Parodi at the
Italian Opera house last night in the character of
Norma, one Of the moet brilliant triumpbs
witnessed in this city. The house crowded
with the most fashionable audience we
gathered within any place of public amusement in
New York. Two-thirds of the vast assemblage
consisted of ladies in full dress. and the front
of the dress circle literally blazcd with jewels.
"These dazzling externsls were the first things
which struck us after we entered the building, but
did not see them or remember that they existed
five minutes after Parodi appeared and began to
sing. Her Norma was the most magnificent piece
of acting we ever saw, combined with the most pas
sionate singing heard. The Casta Diva
was given beautifully, but the expression OF in
tense, concentrated passion, is Parods forte. The
perfect abandon Of her love, her rage, her jealousy
is absolutely sublime. All that Collins has dc
scribed in his ode she personihes. She warns with
the progress of the drama towards its denouenent,
and in the last scencs the interest which she
atcs is painfully absorbing. Her voice is memo
soprano OF great compass and wonderful hesi-
biiity and the sfyIe of her singing cannot be
passed Thrice, during the opera, she was called
out, amidst deafcning brdrds, and pelied with
costly bouquets; and after the curtain had fallen on
the last act she three times called before the
curtain We left tho house as the audience were
demanding her presence for the fourth time.

OF copies OF complimentary ode, printed in Italian
and English, came huttering down from the gal
lery The following is translation of the efusion
"Anothcr star with welcome radiance fills
This temple sacred 10 mcodious art;
Sweet daughter of the fair Ligurian bills,
Thy voice descends upon grateful hearts
Until, transported to celestial air,
We feel what honors unto thee belong;
Her northern garland let thy sister wear,
Thine IL the wreath OF true Italian song;
For now more we feel it's glowing strain,
And own, in thee, the lyric muse again."

Of Mr.. Epes Sargeut's tragedy of "Velasco." The
leading part sustained by Miss Davenport,

excellent points of the piece with good effect
The play was dcservedly received with appla
by the audience, who, in their enthusiasm, "called
OUT the heroine at the conclusion of the fourth and
fifth acts.
"Velasco," we believe, fret brought out in
1886, at the fremont Theatre. IL has since been
played in London. We hope its success, last even
