"DoN PAsoUAIKn-This delightfully."- comic opera
was well performed by the Richings Troupe-the
artists entering into the spirit OF the respective roles
and singing and acting them with spirit and effect
Miss Richings was in splendid voice, and sang the
hord music of her part with consummate ability
and artistic finish. The part has never been as well
sung at the Academy, or as conscientiously-not
bar of the music having been omitted-a gratifying
feature which the Italians would do well TO initiate
Mr. Castles "Serenade" deliciously rendered
and enthusiastically encored. The splendid quartette
in the same act and the fine duett by Miss Rlchngs
and Mr. Castle were also honored with wel-merited
encores and repeated TO the great satistac on
of the audience The doctor Malatesta" of Mr.
campbell was admirable both vocally and hstrioni-
cally His noble voice was very effective in the con-
certed pieces and his acting and byplay were judi
cious and amusing. The poor Don found an able
opresentatye in Mr. Seguin. who acted out the mis-
sor,nnes of "Pasquale" to perfection The singing

music seeming to be too low, generally for Mr.. Sc

Protecting IRON CIads from Destruction
by Fire.
ALL the world has heard that the New
Ionsides was destroyed by fire while lying
at League Island, with scarcely the shadow
OF guard. or watch; and all the world has
since been told by the Connecticut delega-
tion that League Island, on that account, is
a very dangerous locality as a station for
iron-clad vessels-of-war. ...t'
Now, be it known that New Orleans is also
an iron-clad station in it's way. But through
some strange oversight of the gentleman
from the "Wooden-nutmeg" State, the IRON
clads at New Orleans are partially, if not
wholly, in commission. They are properly
guarded from all chance of fire or other mis-
hap by the presence of large and efficient
CORDS of naval officers and men. The cOnse-
ouence is that none of these iron-clads have
fallen prey to the incendiary. On the con-
trary, these ugly but expensive monsters
were, on the evening OF the 1st instant, the
scene OF confagration of quite different
character. On that occasion the deck of one
of them was, to quote from the New Orleans
Times of q late date, ''canvassed over, and
profusely decorated with flags of all nations,
arms OF every description, decorations with
out number, paintings, mirrors, orange trees,
and multitude of quaint and curious things,
arranged in such a manner as to give the
beholder surprise as we'll as a rare treat"
When all this had been arranged, the IRON
clad saloon was lighted up by several hundred
wax candles, by the light of which festive
throng of naval heroes and reconstructed
Southern danes tripped "the light fantastic
toe" until the break of day. We would call
the attention of the naval committees Of
Congress to this little episode, at the same
time propounding this query:-Would the
New Ironsides be the wreck she now is if she
had been favored with such cheerful and
efficient watch?

THE DAILY EvENING TEIEGRAPH- ApETiPHIA, FRm

There stands the great evil Of inSempe-
rance, with its seductions at every corner,
the great feeder of the sImshouse and the
prison. How shall we reach that9 How
shall we keep the young from temptation
which so persistently assails them in every
possible shape and form?
There Is that terrible social evil of prosti-
tuition, which ministers are afraid to preach
about, and which even the newspaper editor
hardly knows how to mention. What is to be
done with tbatP Everybody knows that it
is fearfully on the increase. It no longer
seeks concealment, but faunts itself before
the public eye. Its evil effects are striking
further and deeper every day into the very
vitals of society, and yet nothing is done to
check it. It is vast nursery of violent and
deadly crimes, yet the law seems powerless
to repress it.

matter to arbitration, and await from the
United States Government plain statement
of the points on which adjustment on that
plants desired. This, we opine, there will be
