News for you. Mr.. James Fisk Jr., who runs
cabs, theatres, opera-houses, steamboats,, Sunday
schools, and railroads, is getting out newspa-
per. Having penetrated the mysteries of every
other excitable field of action he, burns to know
what II is to assume editorial responsibility. He
has walked the planks of steamers in a commo-
dore's outfit; he has oged and been ogled from
that glarins and obtrusive box at the Grand Opera
House; he run stock up and down like Wall
street Jupiter manufacturing and dispensing
thunderbolts; he has provided free cabs, and
talked of providing cheap steamboats,; he has
quarreled with Sabbath-school teachers aud stage
managers; the success of his 'cheek" has been
the object of the envy and detraction of all less
successful men of like propensites, and now it
is only natural that he should strive for one con-
quest more. That conquest is to be found only
in newspaperdom. He longs to penetrate the
secret of abuse, and probably we shall have
flaming editorials of invective to which those of
red-hot Brick Pomeroy will be but as frost and
ice. This is no mere cdndrd that am repeat
ing. Whether the newspaper ever appear or
not it is true that the project is now growing In
the Fiskian brain. When and where 1t will
appear, and by whom it will be edited, are
questions yet to be answered. Its title
even has not yet been decided upon.
The Daily Fizzle would probably do as
well as any other, and indicate with sufficient
accuracy the quality of its success 1t is under
stood, however, that private telegraph is to
extend from the editoral-room to the private
box at the opera-house usually occupied by the
big man. Intelligence from all parts of the
world can thus be transmitted to him any mo-
ment between and IL P. NJ, without the neces-
sity of his leaving the box, or scarcely turning
his eyes from the stage. 1t would be interesting
to learn whether the new paper (Which, for all
I know, may be one of several, all daily is to
lave colored illustrations like the Western
World. This would be useful in case of rail-
road accidents even if it were possible to decide
where the responsibility, or rather the Erie
sponsibility, rested.
Wall Street Yesterday
was in high state of excitement. The Gold
Clock, in Maiden lane, between Broadway aud
Nassau, was surrounded by about four hundred
people, eagerly watching its incessant variations.
''What's the time of gold ?" may be said to
have been the question. The hand on the face
of the indicator kept jumping about every
thirty seconds. All this was caused by the
report that Vanderbilt had ''cornered" thirty
millions. The main features however, con-
nected with the astonishing fluctuations in
gold will already have been made known to you
by telegraph.
English and French Opera.
excellent audiences. On Wednesday evening an
amusing incident occurred while Parepa-Rosa
was essaying the role of mariana" in the opera
of that name. The marquis de Torrenueva," it
will be remembered, having occasion to refer to
his difficulty in recognizing 'sMaritana explains
that his hesitation arose from her having ''grown
so' during the interval since he last saw her.
The appropriateness of the expression ''grown
so" to the 'meaty" cantatrice (who was looking
as lovely as so diminutive a creature could) was
too appropriate to be lost. The house grinned
from ear to earl should say from pit to gallery
and the reverberating smiles of the galleries
were reflected upon Parepa's own countenance.
The entire auditorium laughed and (Parepa)
grew fat. 1t was sweet and oily interchange
of geniality. May that 'grown so" never be cut
in subsequent representations.
AS to the French opera, the first presentation
on Wednesday night of La Juioe was not a sue
cess. Without being dead failure, it was
disappointment. People expected more
understand that the best soprano of the troupe,
Madllc Eupheme Bleau, will make her first
appearance to morrow evening in Les MouSque-
taires de la Refine. OF Madame Faye Fauschetti,
who has hitherto undertaken the role of
ssRachel" in La Juice, the best that can be
said is that she is a second-class singer, whose
voice has seen its best days. Before the con-
evident that it was much worn As no puffery
had preceded the arrival of the troupe, however,
the critics have been reticent, with the excep-
tion, perhaps of the censor of the World, who
precipitates his complaints into very artistic
crystals of criticism.
Yesterday morning the first rehearsal of
IscelfM Night took place at Mr.. Days theatre,
the Fifth Avenue. Mrs. Scott-Siddons was the
star. She arrived at this port few days since,
and will doubtless realize as much money from
the American publicas she did last year, when she
refused to play Miranda for Mr. Tayleure under
salary of $1,000 per week, and travelling ex-
penses paid for herself and suite. But if Olive
Logan got as much that Gas in her new book
she AYERS she sometimes did), / think Mrs. Scott
Siddons may be pardoned for running away
with our greenbacks The latter lady at any
rate has youth and beauty, and is not without q
certain promise, however poor her present re-
alizations of Shakespearan heroines may be.
On the Rampage.
The fair reoolutiontstes who contribute to Miss
Anthony's paper and constitute the pillars OF
the Woman's Suffrage Association, have found
new subject to quarrel over at their last meet
ing, This subject is talk Mrs. Wilbour thought
that too much ''talk' had been indulged in
already. She wanted the association to &c
something. Mrs. Bronson (who has only lately
become anything of shining lighD thinks thai
after all women would not be able to do mucf

the men would get the upper hand and keep 1t
