Genuine opera still rules at the German theatre,

The peculiarly sensuous character Of its music, so

tale and action calling up associations OF the vOluptu-

the striking historical period Of Spanish domination
at Naples at once captivated both the ear
and the imagination OF our audiences,
and "Masanello" has ever since held an
eminent place IN the parlor, In the
concert hall and on the stage OF this country. Last
evening the audience az the Stadt theater was not
equal to the merits Of the noble composition so ably
offered to 1t; but, we have before remarked, tho

The Coming Solar Eciipse-Uniied states
Scientific Expedition to the Meditcrra-
mean.
Letters were received at the Coast Survey
office at Washington on Monday announcing
the arrival at Lisbon, en- route for Sicily, OF
the scientific party sent by the United States
government to observe the solar eclipse on the
will accrue to the observations Of this party
ON account of the fact that the Franco Prussian
war has iaterfsred with the preparations Of
several European governments for sending
similar parties to the Mediterranean. Fortu-
natey the American scientific expedition is
composed of several Of cur most distinguished
astronomers. 1t is also supplied with more
complete set of instruments than was ever pos
sessed by any previous expedition. Some of
the most perfect and important Of these instru-
ments, as, for instance, that invented by
Thomas Hill, Of Waltham, Mass, and which
marks out on chart of the sky the Moons
apparent motions as seen from any part of the
Earth's surface, enabling the observer to ascer-
tain beforehand the right moment to be on the
watch, are due to American inventive genius.
The spectroscope used at Shelbyville, in Ken
lucky, during the total eclipse Of August z,
1869, revealed in the Sun eleven lines, three
of which were lines of magnesium-and had
not previously been observed-and in Sicily,
on December %, 1t will, perhaps, reveal other
interesting indications of the metals to be
found in the Sun. The photograph will ena-
BILE Old Sol to paint better portrait of himself
than he has ever before exhibited. If clouds
do not prevent the observations for which the
American astronomers are amply prepared, no
previous phenomenon of the kind will have
afforded better means of testing our calcula-
lions of the Moons motions and of determin-
ing the longitudes of places on the Earth, as
well as Of studying variety of physical phe-
nomena and the emotions of animals during
the totally of the solar eclipse.
