rumors that he has Q sweet voice, q strong
voice. loud voice and high voice. Opinions
are divided upon all these matters. We expect
that there will be great excitement as each Of
the questions at issue Is decided on Monday
night. The arstocrats will have to keep their
eyes and ears wide open In order 10 comprs-
bend It all. Then the new soprano will have
her share Of the interest, although the tenors,
other things being equal are generally more
popular than the sopranos, both with the ladies
aud gentlemen Of the audience. The opera,
IL Trovatore, Is an old one; but 1t will be new
to many of the aristocrats. They ought not to
fail to applaud the tower scene Ia any event
If the piot-such as 1t is-were printed upon
tho programmes, as ct the theatres, q great
deal OF unnecessary speculation would be
avoided on the part Of the stock, petroleum
for the first time. To handle libretto during
the performance is vulgar, and perhaps the
best thing the nov aristocrats can do is to
read up the plot aud incidents in advance.
They can then impose upon each other by nre-
tending to understand Italian We recommend
this idea as practica, and fashionable.
Beyond question this season will be splendid
beyond precedent The people feel clated. The
great victories recently won by Grant, Sher-
man and Sheridan have made reunion inevi-
table. The fall iu gold and prices is an earnest
OF the good things to come. Both Mcclellan
and Lincola staud fairly and firmly upon the
Union platform, and there are no longer any ap-
oI fha oc kho JInu
tal election. The glorious future OF the coun.
try is now beyond a peradventure. The slavery
question, which used to dietraot and divide ms,
is dead and buried. The peace copperheads
are no more seen or heard. 1t is no wonder,
therefore, that society is inclined for jubilee.

PooR GRE ~ IA AyoruER FRIGHT Greeley
Is again alarmed at the effects Of bis own
revolutionary teachings. He has again gone
into one OF he characteristic spasms, like that
which followed the disaster at Bull run.
Alarmed at the reception which the Loya.
Leaguers received after ,uey had insultcd and
outraged Mcclellan banner, he came out
yesterday witt another Just once" confession
and Appealed 70 the clergy to protect him. We
fear that hi appeal comes too late. TIC has
for several years enleavored to inci.c mobs
against other people, aud defended them by de-
claring thai they were an uprising of the pee
pie. Now that he sees tina. the people will 90
longer endui, bis revolutionary work, aud that
it is likely 20 react upon himself, he becomes
alarmed Tho nuLlic have watched his prD
ceedings and marked him. We agaia warn
him to beware how he iufames the putiic
mind. There s a day or retrlbuion for al
such incendisrv proceedings.
