Christine Nilsson.

The famous young Swedish songstress,
whose genius has stirred the hearts of all
Europe, will make her first appearance in
America on Monday evening, at Steinway
Hall. 1t Is unnecessary to predict the success
which awaits her. Facts outrlval prophecies.
The sale of tickets for the season of six con-
certs, which amounted to twenty thousand
dollars the first day, speaks more forcbly than
any words the interest which the public take in
the new conner and the determination to sup
port her. All the indications point to greater
triumph than any artistic enjoyed in this coun-
try since the enthusiastic ovation of Jenny
Lind. 1t is true that this younger Nightingale
from the Scandinavian forests is the recipient
of more calm and dignifed welcome to-dav
than was rendered to her glorious predecessor
twenty years ago; but 1t is none the less cor.
dial and affectionate for that. Already the
representatives of her own people in this city
have paid her spontaneous compliment, COM
ing from the heart, and acknowledged in the
heart of the young stranger with an emotion
that none but the stranger can feel when the
memories Of fatherand are revived by familiar
voices, as 1t were, singing at least in the
familiar tongue of childhood. Therefore while
the Swedish serenaders sang Christine Nilsson
wept. We have heard much Of the
gentleness and beauty of her womanly nature.
The first chord was struck when the womanly
tears followed the melody which carried her
thoughts home to scenes Of early days, more
dear perchance than the scenes of all her
grand triumphs
Few artists 80 young have achieved 80
much In her great art as Nilsson. Matched
with all the leading artistes of Europe-and
she has sung to the same audiences every
where-Christine Nilsson has been admitted
to possess the brilliancy of the ''bright par
ticular star" Her voice is said to abound In
many marvellous qualities, such as We have
not had any experience of heretofore. But
her crowning charms lie In those exquisite
reflections of nature which delicately tinge
her every effort, and in her power to fasci-
nate by the gift Of a natural dramatic action,
which holds her audience in spell of admi-
ration. The anxiety to hear her is best mani
tested by the excitement which precedes her
opening night She has future before her
in America which may eclipse the honors Of
her European career. The success which
seems to be already assured to Nilsson is
another proof that talent of the highest order
always finds liberal patronage in this coun-
try. We are an exacting people in matters
of art, it is true. We judge sharply, we criti-
else closely, but we never fail to acknowledge
and reward true genius when managers are
wise enough to furnish it. The career Of
Mile. Nilsson will prove no exception to this
rule.

THE SpINNERs IN MASSACHUSETTS who have
been on strike for two months have returned
to work without having gained anything what
ever by their strike, but having, on the con-
trary, lost great deal. Two months idleness
eats up any little savings that laboring men
like these can lay up in years of hard work,
while it scarcely phases the wealthy capitalist
who employs them. Whatever relief there
may be hidden somewhere from human ken
fos the ills of the laborer, it certainly is not IN
strikes.

TIE SHOVEL MANIA.-The man who was
40 rudely assaulted with shovel some time
a0o Is dead, and since then two other assaults
with tho shovel have been reported We are
,robably entering on a shovel mania, as we
formerly had the slungshot and the garrote
manias. It would probably be well for the
.,thorities to debar the use Of shovels alto
Gather hereafter, except under close restric-
tions. As they are presumed to debar the use
~ kerosene and nitro glycerine and other dan
oerous substances. This new mode Of "sho-
Yelling" off the mortal coil Is probably no
pleasanter than any other.

THoRoUaHFARE OBsTRUCTIoNs.-FOr more
than year past some of the principal cross
streets in the neighborhood of Central Park
have been impossible to vehicles and nearly
30 to pedestrians, in consequence of being
encumbered by building materials of all kinds.
1t is high time that measures be adopted to
abate this nuisance and force contractors to
have little regard for the interests and con-
venience of the public. The evil is aggravated
by the odors of disturbed sewers and leaky
gaspipes.
The New York herald., 1870-09-17

THE SHoRT AND LONG STRoKE.-The con-
test between the Tyne and the st. John crews,
at Montreal, on Thursday, was another
triumph for the advocates Of the long stroke
over the short. The belief is fast gaining
ground among oarsmen in this country that
the English or long stroke is tho superior Of
the two.

THE WATERING PLACES have never known
more brilliant and successful season than
that which has now concluded. The hotel
proprietors, benefting by experience, paid
more attention to their business and to the
wants of their customers, abated much Of their
exorbitant demands, and, consequently,
gained deserved reward.

GENERAL PRIM IN BAD WAY.-General
Prim, the Protector of Spain, is seriously en-
barrassed with the drift of events from his
nomination of Hohenzollern for the Spanish
thront His Minister at Paris, for recognizing
the French republic, has been recalled, as be-
ing little too fast; for the republican ele-
ments of Spain thereby have become so bold
as to threaten republic at Madrid, which is
not the programme of Prim. Hence, while
still casting about for candidate for the Span
ish crown, he is preparing to fight revolu-
tionary rising, and all the time his Captain
General in Cuba is calling for more troops
against those insurgents who will not be quiet.
King makers as well as crowned heads were
never in such perplexities as they e'in to-
day, and their prospects for happy deliver
ance are gloomy indeed.
The New York herald., 1870-09-17

ANOTHER ExAMPLE.-William Francis,
Buffalo burglar, who came here on 'lay,"
was caught in a residence on Fifth avenue
with burglarious intentions the ether night
and was sentenced yesterday by Judge Bed
ford to twenty years imprisonment. The
Judge also promised that all other burglars
found in the same fix should suffer like
penalty. At this rate honest people will soon
be as safe in New York as they are said to be
in Paris, where the disorderly elements have
been disposed of by measures hardly more
summary. At any rate we are not likely to
be troubled with William Francis again, or,
indeed. if there is any reliance at all to be
placed in human nature, with any other
Buffalo thieves.

THE STATUE OF LINCOLN was erected in
Union square yesterday, with no ceremony,
no eulogy of the loved President, no grand
gathering of the masses, no music, no speeches.
The only ceremony was the hosting of the
bronze to its place by the hardy workmen,
and the only speeches were the eulogistic
CALCULATIONS of the busy crowd of Broadway
as it moved on to it's business. After all, this
lack of ceremony was probably most appro-
pirate. No crowd that we could squeeze into
Union square could represent by one iota the
millions who revere the memory of Lincoln,
nor can any statue sum up the total Of their
reverence. Tradition, old mems tales, history,
the newspapers, the pictures that hang in
every house in the land, the little reminis-
cences that all who ever saw him put into
print, the grand deeds of his life, the disas-
trous manner of his death, all have built a
monument. to President Lincoln that will
endure long after bronze statues shall have
crumbled. In reality statues of metal are
out of date, and as q work of art this one just
erected in Union square is exceedingly unsatis-
factory.
