Our Jubilee.
We are going to have Il grand musical jubilee,
to which that of Boston shall be as nothing. y
number of cnterprisng gentlemen have orga-
nized themselves into the New York Amuse-
ment Company, which has been regularly char
tered under the laws of the State for the pur-
pose Of inauguIating monster musical festival
in this city during the month of May. The idea
is TO build an immense structure capable of
containing one hundred thousand people, in a
central portion of the city. Agents have already
been despatched 10 the Old World to make
every feasible arrangement with opera and
concert-sngers, and with every variety of
musical body that give eclat to the
undertaking. Compared to this Metropolitan
blast, the effort of Boston is to be but feeble
wall. The New York Amusement Company in
tends having number of specalties. 1t intends
to distribute prizes for n series of the best ORR
gnal compositions representative of the Four
Seasons. 1t intends to have oratoro and choral
societies, orchestras bell chmers, military
bands boy-choirs, and every addenda that can
be conceived of calculated to crack the tympa-
mum of heaven and cause the antipodes to cry
out, THAT comes from New York !" 1t intends
| to number among its audiences everybody of
| note in the world, including Louis Napoleon
| Of he be still aliyo), and not forgetting the
| Prince Of Wales. 1t intends to tear the fir
mamcnt in twain, like rotten shirt rent asunder
| by the snewy hands of sound to show what
| Gotham can do in the way of Glory Hallelujah
Those "Eor,d" EditoriaIcts.
Doany Of the readers of THE EVENING TELE-
GRAPH, ] wonder, ever read any of the small edi-
| torials-the editorialets-of the World? Some
deliciously satrlcal ones occasionally appear,
those, for instance, for the past fortnight on Mr..
| Beecher, and one especially few weeks ago on
| the played-out evening newspapers of New
York. They are worth cutting out and keeping
on account of their intrinsic wit; and of how
many editorials, the world over, can this be
said? They are mostly written by the bevy of
young men who do the literary gimping for the
columns of the World, and are allowed to say
pretty much what they please. All that the
| World needs to make these stabs more poig-
PANTY telling is just about three times its present
circulation. Poor thing! It's got no future
before it-nor behind it either!
The lee Question.
Do YOU call this winter? What are we going
to do for ice, wonder, when the summer sea-
son shall commence indeed? AS for the skat-
ing rinks the credulous wights who opened them
are rightly punished for placing any faith in the
perldious many-mooded climate of America II
we go on in this way, we may expect to see ice
selling next summer at price that will place il
far beyond the means of even many of the pre-
sumably moneyed ones who live in brownstones
Possibly the intense competition between the
various ice companies may tend to keep the
price down. As it is, / defy you to get colo
either walking against the wind along Broad
way or breasting the full gale outside the cabir
on the ferry-boats. The difiicultyis not to keeI
| warm hut to CniOy seasOnable GOODNESS,
Amuscments.
We are promised something very wonderful
indeed in the way of a legendary spectacle enter
tainment. The place is to be the Grand OperI
House, the spectacle is to be Mr. Fosters Tt0elo
TemptdtionS-I don't mean those of Foster tn
medium, for the temptation he generally pre-
sents is that of paying five dollars for the privi
: lege of having q communication, that neve
comes, from the angel-world. No. The TtoelU
Temptations l refer to is the residuum of tn
, Black Crook and While Fd,on after they hay
been boiled down and carefully strained, an
had few additional spangles and calcium light
, thrown in. Not being lightning calculator,
! am unable to say how many thousands of dollar
, have already been expended upon it, but If I al
to believe all that the agents tell me, every sea
is taken for the opening night, although it is nc
I yet positively determined when the opening nigh
will be. The evening of either next Saturday G
Sunday, however, is to be devoted to full dres
rehearsal to which about six hundred persons
q including all the principal members of TIE Ne
York press, are to be invited. In the handsom
I vestbule of the Opera House tables are to b
laid, and an extensive lunch is to be served
. Sunday night is considerably affected by Ne
