MELoDEoS.- popular institution draws
together large audiences nightly, and holds
them together till late hour. No better
evidence of its popularity could be desired.
The performances are varied and highly en-
tertaining. Mr.. Cannon deserves great credit
for the enterprise he has displayed in getting
together SO good company.
Rather is a capital stage manager, and as
for fun-he could give old Momus odds, and
beat him. Edmonds is perfect master of the
violin, and Hamilton is invaluable as middle
Man." Sheppard, Mabbett, Burlin Sterling
and Master Tommy are excellent in their ap-
propriate characters. The young ladies. of
themselves, are sufficient attraction to draw
full houses. Miss Emma Howard sings very
sweetly. Miss Rosa is charming "danseuse, +"
while the beautiful face and figure, and lady
like manners Of Miss Clara Dean are quite
captivating. The Misses Isabella and Ara
bella Sager are two of the jolliest dancers in
the world, and Miss Adella is regular iu-
venile "Prima Dona." Those who have not
visited the Melcdeon will find it a great place
for amusement. Those who have been will
be sure to go again.

A New Plan.

Some of the journals in the South are ask
ing, if the experiment of Republican form
of Government is not a failure and if it
would not be we'll to frame a Southern Con-
federacy on plan altogether different from
that of the present Federal Constitution. To
those who say that the interests of the fifteen
Southern States are Homogeneous, they re-
ply that, ct the time the Union was formed,
twelve out of the thirteen of the States were
slaveholding; and, had it not been for the
cotton gin, there would not, they say, in all
probability, have been at this day an African
slave in all North America.
Certain of the secession jaurnals tmow out
feelers among the people, by way of such as
sertions as these, that some very intelligent
citizens" think it would be wise to establish
hereditary constitutional monarchy.
Suggestions are also made that, perhaps,
it would be good idea to have a republic
whose Executive should be elected for ife--a
government in which free suffrage should be
greatly restricted Senators elected for life,
and Assemblymen elected for long period
This, Of course, would be but stepping
stone to monarchy, but we are not surprised
to see it advocated by those who hold the ex-
isting Government to be so arcca thing
as a mere league between independent SOW
ereignties.
The Confederacy of the Gulf States if in
deed it be formed, will not long remain a
Confederacy. 1t must soon be consolidated
into power which can concentrate its forces
for conquest. 1t must have area else slavery
will be stifled to death within its borders,
and, it can make no series of conquest with
out that unity of opinion and instantaneous
ness which never occur, where various equal
and Independent sovereigns are to be con-
suited, or, indeed, where the voice of imme.
date representatives, elected upon pending
issues, is to be considered.
1t is proof positive to our mind, when We
see such movements as are now going on
among the radicals Of the South, that there
is deep rooted dissatisfaction with Republi
cansm itself-we don't mean in the present
partisan sense-aEd that the Secessionists per
Sc are at heart oligarchiss or monarchists

GETTING EvEN-A good looking bachelor,
who for some years has been 'scuddiug under
bare poles" has lately been courting a widow
at Red Dog the latter having beautiful set
of teeth, manufactured by the dentist. 1t
appears. says the Nevada Democrat, that the
twain had a misunderstanding a day or two
ago, and as the bachelor was about to alb
ruptly take his leave, the widow told him
there was n dead mule on his road, and ad-
vised him to take along a pair of shears and
cut off enough of the name to make a cover
ing for his bald pate. He told her he would
do So and at the same time would take a
mallet and punch and knock out new set of
teeth for her.

AFRAID TO ANswER.-Having hemmed the
Express up, on the Secession question, and
pinned it down to a spot, (Which we shall be
able to find hereafter) we were about to nail
it as to its position regarding Pacific Re
public, but 1t lodges the point-blank ques-
tion which we put to it, and manifests such
decided trepidation in answering it, that, in
a spirit of commisseration we desist 1t has
said already, that. in certain contingency,
it is decidedly in favor of Pacific Republic +;
and there We will leave the matter until fur
ther developments We think the people
understand pretty we'll where the Express

ORIENTAL AND WESTERN SIBERIA.-We have
received from Badgers Auction House, on d
street, very delightful work, entitled "Ori-
entail and Western Siberia A Narrative of
eeveu years explorations and adventures in
Siberia. Mongolia, the Kighis Steppes, Chi
nese Tartary. and part of Central Asia" BY
Thos William Atkinson. The book is finely
illustrated, and written in al attractive style.
Oriental and Western Siberia and Chinese
Tartary comprise region less known than
any other portion of the world though as
often named perhaps as any region of promi-
nence on the map. This book gives us bet
ter idea than we could otherwise have of
these peculiar lands. The travels and ex-
plorations were made in the latter part OF
the reign of the Emperor Nicholas. and with
the advantage of such observation as the
liberal kindness of that ruler Afforded.
The sale of such books as this and every
other class of miscellaneous as well as stand
ard works, is going on every day and every
evening, at the Auction House of G. w

THIEvING ExrRAoRDrNARY-Some black

TnE LEcruRE.-The Presbyterian Church,
last evening, was crowded with the intellect,
beauty and fashion of the city, to hear the
lecture of Rev. Thos Starr King, on Socrates
1t was genial and most beautiful tribute to
the character of that great philosopher and
conveyed by the lecturer. that the grand old
Interrogator of Athens seemed almost liv-
ing presence in the midst. There was much
in the lecture that was amusing and various
passages sparkled with wit and humor. 1t
was highly provocative of laughter, for in
stance. to hear the old splay-footed, pug
nosed, scraggy limbed philosopher described
as an embodied joke" and the more relish
sble it was for the reverential sentiment
which mingled with the jest
The closing portion of the lecture was ex-
cee6fTgly fine. teeming with thought and
glowing with pathos that touched the high
er and holer nature of every listener. In so
hastily written and SO brief notice ne this,
We cannot, of course, pretend to give an ad-
equate idea of the beauty and power of such
a discourse. We can only say that those
who have not heard it should embrace the
earliest opportunity to do so, if they have to
travel some distance for the purpose.
Mr.. King will lecture again, on Friday
evening his subject being the Character OF
Washington. He had intended to deliver
his most admirable lecture on Books and
Reading" and we are almost inclined to re-
gret the change in his purpose, but so many
persons desired to hear him upon Washing
ton. that he very kindly deferred to their
will and, doubtless, it is by no means dis
agreeable task to Mr.. King, at time like
this, to pay the tribute of his genius to the
memory of the Father OF his Country. 1t
will certainly be tribute fully equal to the
theme and the occasion.
