But what was my establishment on going
upon the stage at Music Hall, to find an au-
dience composed principally OF people whose
puritanc prejudices were traced in their faces

for it, and who esteemed one branch of 1.-THE

G. A. r. CoNCERT.-City Hall was filled
last night with an audience that in point of
numbers almost rivalled that of the previous
evening, aud would have fully done so if it
had not been that Miss Kellogg was the ac-
knowledged "prima donna" of America and
had never before been heard in this city.
1t was fine concert. The music was not of
a highly classical order, embracing, as it did, a
great many ballads and songs, but it gave
great satisfaction to the large audience. One
fault it possessed, which we know is consid-
cred good fault by many, and that was the
length of the programme. 1t was too long by
about four selections. Mile. Urso was particu-
larly good in the Witches Dance" whose
quaint, fantastic and weird music she gave as
only mistress Tor mastery of the instrument
could have done. The 'Pastorale Fantasia"
was also finely executed, and in response to an
encore she gave "Home, Sweet Home" All!
what an intense inconsistencies the violin can
breathe forth in that pathetic melody, which
no other instrument, not even the human
voice, can express, but-alas! that we should
have to say it-what a descent from the beau
tiful music that had just preceded, stiA lnger
ing on the ear, to "When Johnny comes
marching home" We hope never again to
hear such a fall from the sublime to the ridic-
ulous.
We like Miss Whittens voice. 1t is sweet
yet powerful and filled the hall easily She
enunciates her words also very distinctly, a
too rare gift of public singers nowadays, and
all the best qualities of her voice were dis
played in the Cavatina "Regnava bel Silenzio,"
which she executed eapitally. Mrs. Barry
has a sweet and quite flexible contralto Mac
donald rendered Archer's beautiful song SAL
ice" excellently, though the audience preferred
that played Tout song Of Perring's, Beware
played-out because it has been sung to death
and called him out, when he gave another bal
lad, very pretty, and not so familiar. Barna-
bee pleased us most in the duo with Macdon-
aid, entitled the Fishermen" and rendered
his legend of "Blue Beard" in his intensely
comic manner, which of course created an en-
| thusiasm only to be quelled by the Gals of
| Niagara" Mr.. Dow accompanied very ac-
| ceptably, and we could only wish that there
| had been one piano solo to display the merits
of the fine "Chickering" from Bailey & Noyes',
kindly furnished for the occasion.
| A marked improvement in the hall should
be noticed between Wednesday night and
Thursday night, in the carpeting the passage
ways and keeping the door from slamming. A
| good feature also was the little newspaper, cir
culated after the style of theatre papers IN
| other cities.

AMONG the suggestions made by the Super
intendent of Public Buildings in his annual
report is one that leach State build and furnish
houses for its Senators and Representatives;
thai grounds be purchased and a great public
park be made in the suburbs of the city on the
north, and that measures be taken to put all
the government reservations in good condi-
ton" This seems proper supplement- for the
suggestions previously made that a new Presi-
Dental mansion be built and that the Presi-
dents salary be raised to $1OO OO0 But it is
half way measure. What really ought to be
done is to raise every Congressman's salary to
$IO,OOO and give him not only a house in
Washington but a horse and carriage, a pleas
ure yacht,a grand piano, an immense New
foundland dog, a gold watch, pair of linen
shirts, silk hat, season ticket to all the the
aires, pair of patent leather boots and bas-
ket OF champagne, with two silk dresses. a

salary, mileage, ranking privilege and Pills

little known by the public generally of the
suffering for the necessares of life that exists
in Congressional circles. Let us make these
gentlemen comfortable, and go on with our re-

SUDDEN DEATH Coroner Hall was called
yesterday morning to view the body of Edward
Maley, a laboring man about 40 years of age,
residing in Spring Lane, who came to his death
under the following circumstances: His wife
says that he came home about 10 o'clock We'd
nesday night slightly intoxicated. The snow
on his boots caused him to slip and fall on the
floor. His wife asked him to get up, but he
said 'he guessed he'd lay there a spell" and
she put pillow under his head and went to
bed. About midnight she woke up and saw
him in the same position. He again refused
to get up: and she, thinking it better to let him
sleep off the effects of the rum where he was,
went to sleep again. Early Thursday morn
ing when she woke, he was lying in the same
position. She asked him why he did not get
up. He made no reply but raised his hand
and rubbed his face and rolled over, but did
not attempt to rise. An hour afterwards the
wife discovered that he was dead, having
breathed his last without struggle Coroner
Hall, after carefully investigating the circum-
stances, deemed an inquest unnecessary. 1t is
probable that the mans death was caused by
congestion of the brain, the effect of intemper-
ate habits. Deceased was man of considera-

The Democratic papers sneeringly allude to
the election riots in some of the Southern
States as proofs OF the incapacity of negroes
for sslf-government. Recent events in con.
nection with the elections in England indicate
that their logic is likely to prove too much.
Our English cousins have of late been indug-
ing somewhat largely in the luxury of mobs
and riots. The immaculate perfection of
white mans government" does not save them
from disorder
We do not mean to imply that the blacks
are the principal offenders at the South. We
only wish to remind the defamers of the negro
that human nature is very much the same
whatever be the color of the skin, and that if
riotinR proves black men unfit for self-govern-
ment, the same conclusion must be accepted in
the case of white men,
