STANTON.-We can see Mr.. Stanton, almost any
day, driving or riding, little older in face than
he was, with his severe, pinched expression more
acrd than ever, wildly self conscious all the time.
"He is as great in organizing hate as victory"
Seward is reputed to have said, by way of put
ting postscript to that famous comparison of
Stanton with Carnot, which "Sewardsm" did the
fame of Stanton more good than all his own army
orders, Seward is the best nicknamer in the
country ever since he rendered his own check
for Russia America he has been called "Little
Bill" a name which General Banks is said to have
bestowed. 1t must be confessed that Seward's

Pennsylvsnisns particularly dislike him, as he is

VARIETIES THBATER - The Pdrlor Opad.-We
have been so often deceived by nomsdic opera
companies, who come to New Orleans with the
best of recommendations, that upon entering the
Varieties Theater, last evening, to judge Of the
merits of " The Parlor Opera Company !"
in Donizetti's Don Pasqualen " our mind
was prejudiced against them, but as the
curtain dropped on the last scene, our
prejBdices had entirely vanished, and
we left with the satisfaction of having
heard the opera well sung. OF Miss Nc.
Culloch, who sang the role Of Norma,
it can be said with boldness that she is one OF
the most cultivated singers that has appeared on
our boards. Without possessing much compass,
her voice is of a roundness, freshness and purity
which betokens well for the g Barber of Seville"
in which she appears tonight as Rosind. With
regard to her physique, Miss McCulloch can be
said to be very handsome. and her well shaped
head, in which are set pair Of most ooquettish
eyes, balances itself with perfsctl desia.
UOlture upon tail and graceful figure, which
lends not little to her sparkling action.
The audience was small, but tonight we will
not be surprised if the Varieties is filed from pit
to dome, for there were many fine 1ppreciators of
music present last night, who viii not fail to pro-
pagste their impressions to those who refrained
from assisting at the performance Of "Don Pas.

themselves with credit of their respective roles.

during the progress of the opera. Remember that

CANINE AND FELINE JEALoUsY.-A New York
letter contains the following:
A striking case Of Jealousy in an animal oc-
Cured last evening". We have Newfoundland
dog, who has been great favorite in the house,
and the recipient of much attention. A few days
ago we brought home a couple of "poisterr
pups, which became objects OF great attraction
with young and old. The old Newfoundland dog
at once manifested great displessure on the pups
making their appearances. Whenever the juve-
niles have petted or played with them, be has
growled and looked as savage and norose as
could be, and he has become an altogether
. changed animal since their coming. Last even
ing, while they were being caressed aud fnnded
by the Juveniles, the jealous old Newfoundland,
with ferocious glare in his eye, seized the head
of one Of them in his mouth and crushed the life
out of it in a moment. On relating the circum-
stances this morning to gentleman who has had
much experience with Newfoundland, / was sur
prsed to be informed that Of all breeds of dogs
they are the most treacherous and jealous. They
can never bear to see any other dog receive at
teptiOns and will take most bitter dislike to the
bestower or recipient of such attentions, and
cherish their dislike for a long period. At the
same time they combine with this treschery and
jealousy many splendid qualities A friend tells
me that cat which has been q great favorite
with his children, and played with them con-
stantly. suddenly refused to have anything more
TO do with them when he introduced q little ter
rer into the house, few days ago. New, on
coming home at night, the cat flies at the dog the
moment the door is opened, and. having en-
deavored to scratch or bite it. skulks away and
remains out Of sight all the evening. lr3df
