The Barber of Seville.

This opera which is toIbe performed next
Monday evening at Deering Hall by an Ital-
ian Troupe, is one of Rosini's best produc-
lions. When the great master wrote it he
was in the prime Of life and full Of comic hu-
NOR. 1t has been sung in all countries, and
is an universal favorite the world over. Miss
Adelaide Phillips performs the role of Rosina,
for which she is admirably qualified in all re-
spects. Miss Phillips was born in Stratford-
on-Avon, the birthplace Of WIN. Shakespeare,
and came TO this country when she was some
nine years old. Early in life she exhibited
great tact and talent for the stage, and for a
long time she attracted much attention in
KimbalPs Museum. Boston. Soon her music
al powers were developed, and her friends
sent her to Italy where she received thor
ough musical education. She has not disap-
pointed her friends, for she is now esteemed
an artist Of the first order, and her per-
formances are always up to high standard.
Bat few have ever exceled her in the charac
tiers she personates. Her reputation is firmly
established.
Brignol as Count Almaviva is deeply in love
with Rosina miss Phillipsl, and confesses his
love TO Figaro fMancusI), TITO barber sort
OF factotum Of the town and a very busybaay
and meddling fellow. These characters put
their heads together TO introduce the Count
to Rosina. But DIR. Bartolo (Susini) watches
the maiden closely; for he wishes to marry
her himself although she is his ward. In this
game Basi 10 (Loccatelli), music teacher and
q queer fellow, assists the Doctor. Rosna
returns the affection of the Count, and in
spite OF the vigilance OF her guardian, con-
veys letter to him in which she "tells her
love" and expresses her determination to escape
from her guardian. This greatly encourages
the Count, and, disguised as q drunken SOL
der, he enters Bsrtolo's house. The Count
is discovered by the guardian and is arrested.
This closes the first act.
In the second act the Count again enters
Bartolo's house, disguised as a music teacher,
pretending he has been seut by Baslio to
give music lesson. He gets an interview
and they have good time, and an escape is
determined on at midnight, and a private
marriage arranged. But Basilio appears and
the lovers are alarmed, and the Count escapes.
Bartolo has the letter written TO Rosina by
the Count, and thus exctes the jealousy of
his ward, aud che promises to marry him.
At the appointed time Figaro and the Count
appear and the lovers are reconciled. The
ma rage is celebrated and all parties are hap
py.
The roles Of Figaro and the Doctor are
very amusing, and the music sung by the
Count and Rosina is exceedingly fine. Taken
as whole, this opera is very interesting to
the lovers of rich fun and good music.

Without Grog.

We have reason to believe that the first
vessel that were cleared from this port, whose
shipping articles contained the provision that
no grog" should he allowed the seamen on
BOARD was The ship Fisher Ames, commanded
by Capt. VIM. Cammett, now an occasional
Inspector of customs. This was in 1915
perhaps year or two later 1t may be that a
similar provision had been inserted in the ar
ticies OF some vessel prior to this time; If SO,
we should be glad to learn the fact.
1t was certainly very wise provision; and
had it been generally adopted and religiously
observed. what a multitude of lives and an
immense amount of property had been saved.
and what untold agonies had been spared, no
human pen will ever be able to record nor
tongue describe.

U. s. Christian Commission.

The following testimony to the practica
working OF the Christian Commission, is from
well-known writer whose opportunities 70,
knowing are second to none. Probably nc
other agency, no matter how much earlier In
the field, or how much richer In funds, more
largely share the gratitude of our suffering
soldiers than the Christian Commission. The
Delegates are on the field, personally atten-
ding to the physical comfort of the soldier
with zeal and efficiency the world never
witnessed before.
THE CHRISTIAN COMMISSION.
wish to bear emphatic testimony 10 the
usefulness Of the Christian Commission.
There are two wagons laden with supplies
accompanying the army, with several atten-
dants. L have had opportunity to witness the
dispensatlon OF the supplies, contributed by
the churches and benevolent individuals, and
can truly say that nothing is misapplied.
Thousands OF sick and wounded will bless the
Christian Commission. In some respects il il
more efficient organization than the SAM
tary Commission. Its delegates receive no
compensation. Their work 10 wholly alabor of
love. 1t is practical Christianity. There Is
no complicated machinery In the organiza-
Immediate. The Commission was started and
has been mainly sustained by those denomi-
nations which call themselves Evangelical.
but have heard Unitarian chaplains and
Catholics praise its work. 1t is not sectarian
whoever needs-whoever suffers-soldiers for
the Union or wounded rebels - all without
any distinction, receive direct relief
On Saturday morning last was in Freder-
icksburg. A long train of ambulances came
In, hlled with the wounded of the heavy ar
tlllery, which had so CALAMITY repulsed the
attack on our rear two nights before. They
had been in the ambulances twenty-four hours
without anything to eat, jolting over the
road. l ran to the rooms of the Christian
Commission and gave notice OF their arrival.
ln five minutes the delegates were out with
prepared farina, coffee, soft bread. There
were tears OF thanksgiving from many brave
fellow. Thank you" "God bless YOU" were
the returns which the delegates received, not
for themselves, but for those who had con-
tributed for their comforts. l have written
this from sense of duty, feeling all the while
that no words of mine can adequately express
the value of the work which is performed by
the Commission. In behalf Of those who are
already in hospital, and ia behalf of those
who are ready to suffer for their country, l
ask for them that there may be no lack of
supplies. CARLETON.

TUESDAY, SEPT. 20.


I can Richmond, it is said, desired ct
Chicago platform, declaring tat honor
able propositions should be made to the
rebels for settlement on the basis of the
Uoion; bat that it they we're refused, then
that the whole power Of the Government
should be exerted to compel their obe-
dience to the Constitution. He failed TO
ob.ain these terms; and the platform
adopted, while denouncing the war, and
advocsting cessation of hostilities, is
silent as to what shall be done in the
event that the South will not hear any
propositions for peace, except on the ba.
sis of their independence. This silence
was inten ional; it was for the intention
Of deception. The position, on this point,
of their nominee for the Vice Presidency
is well known. and was we'll known to
that Convention. He made speech in
Congress on the 18th of Jauuray, 1851.
He afterwards carefully revised it, and had
1t published in the Appendix to the
Globe We quote from it the following
passages: q
My voice to-day is for Cancellation my
voice is for compromise, aud it is bat the
echo of the vuice of my constituents. l

sent the Northwest; you who with me

eresl that yop cannot or will not reconile
them, then, gentlemen. let the seeding
States depart 10 peace; let them establish
their government aud emnire, aud work
out their destley according to the wisdom
which God has given them.
Further along in the same speech be
Gays:

conciied, and il you, gentlemen, can not

mands ii they must leave the family
