think there must be some other business for which
he is better qualified than the management Of Emf

MUSICAL INTELLIGENCE.
ITALIAN OPERA-NIRLO,S

The public feeling in favor of the opera is increasing
as was witnessed by a very good house last night.
Madame Gazzaniga gained additional reputation by
her performance Of Lncre-ia Borgia She vocalized
better than usual. In portions of her acting we were
reminded that the feminine soness of her nature and
expression interered somewhat with the impetuous
fury the character demanded either in fact or accord
ing TO the traditions of the stage. In the wel-known
and admirable tho she left nothing to be desired In.
deed we never heard it dramatically executed as
whole, by all the artists. Madame Gszzsniga was
perbly atred and acted in imperial style. Mr. Bgnoli
was very excellent in his portion of the trio and gave ii
with fullness Of voice the want of which re-
markable in Maro's rendering ofthe same scene. Mr..
Amodo had not quite recovered his voice. but exhibit
ed Improvement in dramatic expression. In the duet
following with Mr. Brignoi, Madame Gazzaniga rose
to such point of dramatic vgor that tempest of sp
pause followed and she universally cheered ON
appearing before the curtain.
Miss Phillips has fine contralto voice. aud not only
in the agile use of it but in declamatory force and in
tegence displays marked improvement over her pre-
yious efforts.

THE MONEY QUESTION" AT LAURA
KFFNFrS THFATFR

Last evening was produced for the first time in
America fve-act play translated from French piece
by the younger Dumas and entitled The Money Ques
ton." The information is kindly vouchsafed by the
bills that the representation of this piece produced
great sensation in Paris. and that the Emperor and
the Empress interested in the performances
that they attended on several occasions. If we admit
that these noble personages have in dramatic matters
good taste and reliable judgment, it only remains for
us to assert that the translator has wofuly tanned
down the spirit of the original play. As il is presented
to usn its English dress We must judge of it, and we
feel compunctions in declaring 1t the most stupid
fve-act play Of the season As the plot is so COM
plex and intricate that we found it difficult to
unravel it ourselves, mercifully spare our
readers the ac,iOn of details. Suffice it to say, there
are five acts of dreary, pontless dialogue; five acts
Of meaningless talk about money which nobody under
stands; five acts Of "upper-crust' sermonizng upon
the vugarity Of money five acts of cOntumely and
contempt heaped by set of snobbsh wOuld-be aristo-
Gratis upon the only reputable peron in the piece FIVE
acts of nspd conversation through the whole of which
the audience perpetually looking for something to
hsppen-which something never does happen; hye
acts Of conversation without incident, Of preaching
without sense, and of situations without probability
or reason. II is play without catastrophe
and it might be as appropriately ended at the
conclusion of the first act anywhere, the parts
might be trans posed and the piece played fifth act
first without any injury to the general effect. We
have no remarks to make about the acting; people
cannot act when they have nothing comprehensive to
do. There have been some new scenes painted which
are done with the usual fine taste displayed by the
artists of this heater Had not been for the excel
lent music between the acts, the Money Question
would never have been permitted to come TO con-
clu.on. but would have stood unanswered nterro-
CATION TO the end of time but the public are very
patient with bad pieces.

the counties not heard from will probably give small
Democratic majorities.'
The same paper says:
"There is no longer any doubt but that the Repub-

The run between Turner and Fenton, in the With
District is very close and seems to be narrowed down
to the result in TuscOla County. We have conversed
with gentleman from that county and while 1t will
be seen that Mr.. Turner has behind the Judicial
ticket we feel pretty confident that he will have fifty
majority in that county, which will mako his majority
over Fenton somewhere between 20 and 30--a close
