"A feeling of sadness and longing.
Which is not akin TO pain;
But resembles sorrow only


As the mist resembles rain
II is that higher sense Of beauty which Poe
says is inSeparably connected with sadness,
and which so few artists have tho power of
bringing forth.
The Italian Troupe closed to-day not very
successful seasono of Opera. This was partly
owing to the fact that Miss kellogg, the prina
donna, with all her grace, beauty and talent
is not u f;lyorite with the Boston public
She doesn't seem possessed OF avery amilble
temper, and is very cold and Indifferent in
her acting It is said that her life in Europe,
entirely untitled her for the American stage
Whether this is true or not, She doesn't seem
to care toput herself out much for plain Re
publican audience. Sgnor lie Franc with his
electrical high notes, and Adelaide Phillips,
who is always pleasing, only redeemed the
troupe from utter failure Within 4 few DAYS
takes place the farewell concert of Mrs
Barry, previous to her departure for Europe
the complimentary concert for Carl Icrraln
the popular and distinguished Musical nircc
tor and the annual benefit OF Mr. Peek the
treasurer. at Music Hall. These benefits So
cure the rarest and best musical talent To be
had, and tickets for them are largely sought
as soon as announced for sale.
An Art Museum for Boston has become a
settled fact, and preparations for the erection
Of . suitable building upon the Coliseum
grounds are going rapidly forward The
prospect of having this long needed want so
soon gratilied is 4 source Of much pleasure
to those interested in art matters Two con
rcrts for the benefit of the Museum have ~
ready been given.
The much talked of project Of a new and
large City Park was brought up this week to'
discussion before the house Of Representatives.
and the decision postponed one week There
is some probability that the Park plan may
be laid aside for a while, inasmuch is The
City is mourning large expenses Just at pres
cnt for street improvements II is estimated
upon good authority that it win require three
millions OF dollars at least 70 complete the
streets, and possibly some ten or twelve mil
lions 10 lay out q suitable Park.
4 police officer Of this city was arrested ON
Thursday, charged with having stolen p
watch from a young Lady in Music Hall on
the evening of January 9th. II appears
from the evidence that he afterwards sold the
watch to a regular customer of the young
ladv's brother--a gentleman doing business
on DevonShire street. Happening in Al the
store one day he displayed the watch whilst
in conversation with the merchant, who 1T
once identified it as belonging to his sister.
The case was ut once carefully worked up,
and ended in the arrest of the officer. 1t il
certainly a very singular train of circumStan-
ces, and shows how hard il is for guilt to re-
main undiscovered.
