An OPERATIC WAR IN THE YANKEE ATHENS
The time seems to be . particularly belligerent
one. Although the country is nominally at
peace with itself and all the world, including
the rest of mankind, there Is still most disa-
greeable amount of quarrelling, fighting and
squabbling over certain political, social, moral
and religious questions. Thus we have seen
grand row going on at Washington during eight
weeks Grave Senators have lost their tempers,
and gray-headed Representatives have called
each other bad names. The journalists have
not been behindhand in this matter, but have
warred right merrily among themselves. Even
that immaculate body, the Common Council Of
New York, which generally confines itself to
the business of the spoils, has had an intestine
difficulty of the most comical kind, growing
out Of dispute as to the best method of re-
pairing the injury done to Its public virtue by
an irreverent press. There is no such thing as
quiet life in this part Of the world. People
enjoy row with true Hibernian gusto; every
one seems to be walking about challenging
everybody else to tread on the tail of his coat.
With all these rumpuses going on in Con-
gress, among the Aldermen, the editors, the
parsons, and politicians, of high and low de.
gree, we are not at all surprised to hear
that warlike spirit has appeared in the
coulisses of the Opera, and that the
managers and some of the singers, who are,
like the affairs of their beloved Italy, always
in some kind of mess, have been giving cause
for much gossip to the guild nuncs of the Yam
kee Athens-no doubt . godsend to the Bos-
tonians, who, in the winter, ara almost - triste
Is thu wanderers in Goldzmith's Deserted VII
lage." . yss.,.
As for the facts in the case, they are envelop-
ed In as much mystery as the plot of q high
pressure French melo-drama or the views of
clever politician. In such cases there are
generally no facts to speak Of, and what there
are dignity nothing. It appears, however, that
q war Of a pecuniary nature broke out between
Madame Gazzaniga and the managers, Ullman
and Strakosch; that some Of the Boston papers
took the matter up on the side of Gazzaniga;
that q personal rencontre occurred between
Strakosch and one Of the editors-but no bones
were broken. There have also been some
smaller skirmishes between the singers, and
marked differences Of opinion between the
generals in command Of the forces
The whole affair Is . good deal like Napoleon's
campaign in Russia. When he found things get
ting too hot for him, he made all haste towards
Paris, leaving Ney to bring up the rear, and
stand oil the cold weather, short commons and
ugly Cossacks. So Napoleon Ullman fed back
npon the metropolis, leaving Marshal Ney
Ssrakosch ut the mercy Of Infatuated prime
dome and the palladins of the press. And,
between the singers in the front, the editors
charging ON his TANKS, right and left, and the
lawyers worrying bis rear, Marshal Ney Strs-

PROGRESS OF AMERICAN ART.-There has been
among the wealthy classes of the metropolis
upon the subject of art. The recent chef
d'euures of American art exhibited here, the
statuary of Palmer, Barbee and others, and the
pictures of Church, Page and Rossiter, have
stimulated the connoisseurs and encouraged the
artists. As practical proof of this we notice
that at an auction sale of paintings this week the
following prices were realized Murray's De-
fence of federation, by P. F. Rothermel, $500;
New England Scenery, by F. E. Church, $1,000;
Coast Scenes by Achenbach, $1,000; Land
scape by A. B. Durand, 1920; Indian Rende<,
vous, by J. F. Kensett, 1925; Game and Reality
by G. De Groux, $3.50; Washington and Gene
rails, by w. S. Mason, $4oo; Gypsy Gossip, BY
W. Slayer, ST., $500; Boy and Rabbits, by j. T.
Peele, $500; Elm Tree, by A. F. Bellows, s225;
Landscape, by J.W. Casilaer, 1852; Winter and
Summer, by Gignoux, $500; Picaboo, by Schles-
singer, s4o5; Sheep Feeding, by T. S. Cooper,
sl0o; Interior, by Mayer, s275.
We hear that our artists, both at home and
abroad, are all hard at work, and have many
things In canvas or marble which promise we'll.
Palmer is at work upon another statue, which
is to be fully draped; heretofore he had done
only nude figures. ARTISTS Receptions" and
cart Conversaziones" are getting to be all the
rage in what are called the first circles There
is good deal Of nonsense talked at these re-
unions and 1t may be stated with TRUTH that, after
all, the only customers conversation which
has the smallest possible interest, or is of any
value to the painter, is an animated colloquy
between an auctioneer and an enthusiastic bid
der, when one Of the artists works is under the
hammer. That sort Of art talk might 20 on in
terminably without boring him. The small
talk of connoisseurs makes him laugh in his
sleeve or 90 to sleep. The true way to en-
courage art is to buy good works and pay
good price for them. We hope our merchant
princes, bankers, and 80 on, will bear that in
mind.

kosoh has had rather rough time Of II. he
WIN cress the Connecticut frontier with the
remnant Of his forces and the Daughter of the
Regiment, Corporal Patti, sadder and wiser
manager. The little Napoleon of Irving place
has arranged the plan of q new campaign,
which Is to commence ct our Academy on Mon
day next; and 1t Is expected that the fashion
able world will turn out en- masse to greet the
return Of little Patti, who comes back crowned
with Athenian laurels, presumed to be in that
district the finest article of the kind to be
found in the world.
But the Bostonian war may not be settled by
the retreat of Strakosch. The allies may pur-
sue him across the frontier, and quarter them
selves about the Washington statue in Union
square. There are rumors of fresh COM
binations terminated in the mighty brain
of the little Napoleon, and having for
their ultimate object an alliance with Maretzek,
who has been sort Of Garibald among the
impresarii, and rather likes it. He is at the
Havana, making, they say, great deal of
money, and he very naturally turns up his nose
at the idea of any entangling alliances with the
autocrats of Irving place, who only escaped
Waterloo defeat by miracle in the shape
of little Patti. In a short time Maretzek will
return from Havana with his new tenor, who is
said to be very fine artist, and then we may
expect to see some fun in Irving Place.
Meantime the public will enjoy the Opera,
without caring much for the squabbles among
the managers or the artists. They are gene
rally so absurd, and the parties engaged are
SO delightfully."- serious while they are going on,
as to be the most deliciously piquant, comical
and at the same time harmless things in the
world.

The FATE OF MAYOR WooD's NOMINEES
The nomination of Mr.. Gideon J. Tucker,
whose name Mayor Wood sent before the Board
of Aldermen, as President of the Croton Board.
received quietus at the last meeting of that
body, Mr.. Tucker being rejected BY vote Of
ten to six. The name of DR.. Bradford as Health
Officer, wasreferred to a committee for inquiry
as to his qualifications, but it is quite pro-
bable that he will be similarly dealt with when
the question comes to vote. It is evident that
the friends of Mr.. Tucker do not know how to
handle the ropes. II they had raised five thou
sand dollars, and put it in the hands of the
Corporation lobby, the matter might have
been decided differently. Meantime Mayor
Wood will, doubtless, make another nomina-
ton to fill the vacancy in the Croton Board,
and It is to be hoped that the friends of the
next nominee will take hint from the negii-
gence Of Mr. fuckers friends. r -.
The vote on fuckers nomination shows that
the Aldermen Of the Tammauy democracy and
the black republicans voted together Against
him, while the Mozart Han democrats voted fox
him. It seems evident that Mayor Wooa's noni-
nees are to be opposed By his comhination Of
Tammany democracy and black republicanism,
unless some convenient arrangement can b
made with the Corporation lobby. < r., '.' 4

MORE CALAMIrIEs FROM BOILER EXPLOSIONS
Within few months past we have been called
upon to record several explosions of steam
boilers in this city and its viciaity, which re-
suited in loss of life, and we have repeatedly
commented upon the negligence of parties using
steam in crowded metropolis like this, which
daily exposed the lives and limbs of unsus-
pecting citizens, quietly pursuing their avoca-
tons through our streets, unconscious that they
walked almost within the shadow of the valley
Of death. ~s
Within the past two days two more catas-
trophies arising from this cause have oc-,
curred-one in a sdistillery on North Fifth
street, Williemshurg, on Thursdsy, and smother
IN hat factory near Myrtle avenue, Brooklyn,
yesterday. In tAs first instance two men were
instantly killed and five wounded-not one of
whom was employed In the building, all being
engaged at work in neighboring shops and sta
bles. In the second case the building was
blown to pieces by terrific explosion, and six
men were ascertained to be killed, and some
nine or more men and women wounded in
frightful manner. In both these cases we trust
that scrupulous investigation into the cause of
the disasters will be entered upon. 1t has been
said that the boilers in the distillery were old
and eaten away with rust, and it would appear
from the violence of the explosion, and the fact
that the injured parties were a considerable
distance, in different directions, from the build
ing, that there must have been an immense
pressure Of steam on when the accident took
place. The explosion in Ames & Moulton's hat
factory yesterday is attributed to the fact that
the water pipes were frozen, and, large fire
being built under the boilers, steam was
generated too rapidly. It will be for the Coro-
ner's jury to ascertain why large fire was built
until it was made certain that the water pipes
were not frozen, and to decide who is to blame
in the matter.
Il il now several weeks since resolution
was adopted by the Common Council OF New
York providing for bureau of steam boiler

REPUBLICAN RECKLEssxEss or AssKRTIox.-At
the complimentary serenade to Governor PEN
nington the other night Mr.. Sherman took it
upon himself to congratulate the assemblage
that, although republican Speaker had been
elected no indications of public alarm had
been manifested. Cotton was eleven cents q
pound and upwards; slave property had re-
manned the same In value, and stocks had ad-
vanced." The honorable gentleman spoke
rather wildly when he delivered himself after
this jubilant fashion. We are not disposed to
criticise too severely postprandial oraticns;
but we are compelled to call to his attention
the fact that the first effect Of the announc e.
ment of the election Of republican Speaker. in
this city was to cause decline In securitieA of
all kinds. Nothing can be more natural than
this result Conservative men cannot but see
in this event The foresbadowing Of the election

AN APPROPRIATE ADDITION TO THE TAX
LEvr-The tax levy, having passed the Boards
of the Common Council and received the
Mayors approval, now goes to the Legislature
for final action. The appropriation for clean.
ing The streets is 100000, and. as it is GUS
tomary for the Legislature to amend the tax
levy by additions and curtailments, they ought
to add an appropriation to the amount for
cleaning the streets of Q sum suitable for clean
ing the tongues of the members Of the Corpora
ton and keeping their mouths sweet. We CON-
mend this suggestion to our Albany Legislators.
