THE PYsE AND HARRISON TRoUPE.-The eBoheman
Gil will be performed to- night for the last time this
season, as the management have judciousy deter.
mined to keep up the public interest ia their success by
the more frequent production OF novelties This IL
policy, and would like to 1t stretched little
further than the compass OF their present pans by its
embracing few Iepresen atons Of the works OF the
early Engish composer, some Of which might BIO rem
dered popular by combining with them fine scenic and
choral effects. When "Acis and Gaateau was BRO.
ducsd few years ago at Drury Lane, II had run OF
several weeks and brought large receipts to the rea
sury This result owing less to the musical merits
Of the piece than to its resuststsd novelty and the
splendid manner in which it put upon the stage
It would be werth while to make the experiment and
to give the public the opportunity Of contrasting the
music which delighted forefathsrs in the days of
Puicel and Arne with the scientific and elaborate
compositions Of the modern English and Italian schools
Wbetker the management think 1t worth while to act
upon this suggestion or not, trust that they will con-
dne Themselves as much as possible to pure English
OPERA ADglicisd ver sioss Of the Italian lyrical drama
have rarely succeeded in receiving the natural
expression OF the originals from artists who we're not

character which enables them 10 maintain 30 successful

night, tbs occasion being the first performance of

last night for the present, OF the Lagtanss
troupe. Nine. Lagrangs's Norma was so good
ss TO surprise every one, and was, musically con-
sidered, a much finer perform ncs than Crisis.
The "Casta Diva" was very well done. The ia.
vocation was distinguished by the olesrsst ntonasion
and the most delicate phrasag. The succeeding eria
we have never heard better given, and the vigorous
style In which Nine. Lagrange denounced the Polio Of
the night fne thing in its way we ever en-
joyed. Sgnora Costini, who the Adalgisa, has
good appearance and good method. Her voice was
not always equal to the requirements Of her role but
her performance was fair, nevertheless Sisnor Nitrate

York has been disgraced during the past week
by most beastly exhibition, called bs,oy
show, and gotten up by the notorious Balnum.
We might laugh at some of his other faats--we
might consider the mermaid good joke-the
woolly horse small and comparatively harm
less swndle-the 90 nonization Of Jenny Lind
as piece OF absur dity-bat in thisscase the
hero OF ranistan,. the patron of Joce Heth,
and the agent OF the FIRE annihilators, has in
hcted a last st in upon the fair fame of the
city-afiixed lasting stigma upon the names
OF many limo cent children, deluded their con-
hding moth ars, and placed before the public
an exhibit IN the details Of which are too dis
gushing for publication.
we No We given our readers some of the facts
connect ed with this affair; but it is impossible
to des cribe the loathing-the feeling of utter
disev st, which is the controlling feeling in the
miU Of every decent visiter to this exhibition.
People 60, we presume, for the same reason
lat they pay high prices for good places to see
a notorious criminal executed In the one case
it is morbid appetite for the horrible-in the
other 1t is an intense craving for what is indie
cent and disgusting
We pity the respectable matrons if any
such there be, who have from avaricious
or other motives allowed their infants to be
examined, handled and tossed about by half
the thieves, prostitutes, and pickpockets about
town. They will one day hang their heads for
shame at the disgrace they have brought upon
their children, upon whom the sins of the pa
rents will be visited tenfold. The case stands
thus:-h the hope of gaining ten or fifteen
dollars, you, Mrs. B., have shown up your child
the hottest of the secret mysteries of nature
have been laid open 20 a gaping crowd-the
health of your offspring has been endangered
your own character, in the eyes of all good
men and women, hopelessly ruined-and all this
has resulted in nothing but evil to you, while
it has put many dollars into the pockets Of a
man who is proud to call himself the greatest
swindler in his way in the United States-who
is bereath criticism, and insensible to shame.
1t seems, too, that Barnum does not keep
faith with his victims. An indignant mother
writes to the HERALD to say that he refused to
pay the expenses of bringing the children here,
unless the mothers consent that the fatigued
and worn out infants remain on exhibition four
weeks longer! How long will it be before PEG.
pie come to know that they cannot touch pitch
and remain uDdefled?
If the fathers or mothers or guardians of the
unhappy children who now form the n,ateriel
of the disgusting exhibition at the corner of
Ann street and Broadway, have any sense of
decency left, they will remove their children at
once. Their lives are in danger. It is mon
strOus that such outrages on the ,proprietes of
life are allowed,in city which is supposed to
be inhabited by civilized, Christianized men and
women. Such thing as this baby show
would not be tolerated in Timbuctoo; but it is
supported in the refined metropolis of the
progressive Western World.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1855-06-09

The Great Exhibitor wishes the baby show to continue
four weeks longer, but it seems that the mothers Of
some Of the children will not be hired to put
money in his pocket there is great Partially in dis
buting the prizes The beautiful fat girl of BCooklyn,
prize has been turned off with nothing except S16 for
expenses, which is only half that has paid for
her dress, DC. Barnum declines paying expenses,
per agreement unless the out and fatgued child
viii remain four weeks longer. This baby show 10 o
