gained enviable laurels in opera in New York,
and her name would add very much to the
company. Here we have five prime donne,
all of recognized talent and capable of singing
creditably in any role in opera.
We are equally strong in the contralto line.
Prominent among our artists in this particular
We may mention Madame Gazzaniga, Miss
Adelaide Phillips, Miss Cary, Miss Nettie
Sterling, Mile. Clara Perl (who has made
genuine success during the wachtel SEASON.
and Mile. Frida de Gebele The tenor de-
partment is richer still in materials. The
greatest Of all living tenors is Wachtel, who
has been the chief attraction at the Stadt Thea
ter for thirty nights, and whose transcendent
abilities caused even Prov idence critic to in
dulge in the high-fown criticism which we pub
lished yesterday. Capoul has already proved
himself very acceptable aud highly cultivated
artist and q genuine favorite with the ladies.
What more is needed for q light tenor in
opera? Brignoli's silvery voice has never
failed to please, and he has long held posi-
ton second to no Italian tenor in popularity.
First among baritones we must mention
Santey, whose triumphs in London recalled
to opera-goers the days Of Tamburini. Then
come such artists as Campbell, Randolf, Barre
and Cook, all of whom may be relied upon as
conscientious artists. We have no more La
blaches or Formeses, but janet and Her
manns NAV be considered a. adeonase

The whole number of the blind IN
the country is about 1900, and in
Pennsylvania about 1900, or one in
every $500 of the whole population.
In the Pennsylvania Institution for
the Blind in Philadelphia, there are
I81 pupils, and besides receiving fn-
struction during the past year in most
of the branches taught in the grammar
and high schools, and of such a mu-
steal character as will fit many of
them to become church Organists and
piano instructors and tuners, many Of
them have acquired much mechanical
knOWledgeand skill. The earnings OF
the pupils during the past year, prin-
cipally in making brushesan brOOms,
and in weaving carpets and Gaming
chairs, amounted to S16,S80.
The Jeaoish Times, after remarking
that the majority Of Israelites are now
refOrmers, deplores the great diversity
of views and acts which have followed
the abandonment OF the old orthodox
ground. The synagogue, formerly
crowded three times a day by devoted
wOrshiDers, is deserted even on the
Sabbath days; the Jews no longer re-
fuse to share the table of their Gentle
brethren; they disregard the dietary
laws, and they retain but little more
than the memory of ceremonies and
obseryances practiced in their pateTnal
home. Moreover, both doctrine and
ceremony are left to the rabbis, who
differ greatly among themselves. The
result is a chaos which bodies serious
injury unless some master mind shall
speedily appear to bring order from
confusion.
The New York Sun says: "a cen
siderable source of profits to banks is
the wearing out, destruction or loss by
the holder of bills issued as currency.
This is shown by the fact that Of the
circulation of the banks doing bust
ness seven years ago under the bank
ing law of this State, and which, since
the law was passed by Congress taxing
it, has been as far as possible called
in, 81, go, 900 is yet outstanding. Some
part of this amount may possibly be
boarded by ignorant persons in old
stockings and money chests, but the
presumption is that the greater pOr-
ton of it is beyond the possibility of
presentation for redemption, and that
accordingly the banks, which received
value for it, will be relieved from
their obligations to take it up"

compromise and agree upon a rotary
whirl so that each can have an alter
nate grin. Should a corrupt Radical
Jury acduit Bowen, he viii be imme-
diateIy nabbed on the charge of muir
der. Already the harpies Of the law
are pursuing their victim, eager to
bring him to justice for the commits
sion Of other crimes. The Atlanta
IateUigencer thus exposes new vii
lainies on the part of Bowen;
1t wiz be remembered that during
the warm 1S64-ColOnel William
Parker White, of the -th Georgia,
was killed in South Carolina, while
sitting in his headquarters. A young
man of the name of Eli G.. Grimes,
one of Colonel Whites command, was
arrested for the Odense, who then con-
fessed that he was instigated to COM
nit the act by Q. G. Bowen, a captain
in the Confederate service. Before the
day of trial, by q military court which
was ordered by General Beauregard,
Grimes made his escape. Bowen was
not tried, there being no evidence
against him, except Grimes testi-
mOny, which could not be got.
Bowen was afterWard made under
the Federal authorities, clerk of the
provost court, counsel for the freed
men, and finally was elected to Con-
gress. The Charleston Courier, of the
9Th, contains the information that the
son of Colonel White has, at last, cap
tured the assassin of his father, in
Georgia, and taken him to Charleston
and committed him to Jail. The Cour-
Ter contains an affidavit OF Grimes,
giving the full particulars Of the hOr-
rid deed, and duplicating Bowen as
accessory before the fact. Grimes was
then quite a youth, under twenty-One
years, and says that Bowen threat
ened him with death, unless he killed
Colonel White, and laid the plans to
accomplish the hellish purpose. We
sincerely hope that the guiltier party
will soon receive his just reWard-the
gsllOWs.

THERE is a fearful story told some
where of the Imprisonment Of an IN
happy convict, where he could watch
the gradual but steady closing Of the
walls about him, minute by minute,
until they collapsed, to crush him at
last. Just such a place Of torture is
now occupied by US. Grant, President
of the United States. The iron walls
of his chamber are gradually closing in
upon him. Christopher North, who
detested smoking, characterized a
cigar as a thing with FIRE at one end,
a fool at the other. This is not true
in all cases, but it is prominently
in regard to the Great Smoker at
the White House. Even Grants
own party represent him as a stupen-
dous humbug, a magnificent failure.
Atouetime. he was considered merely
Is a little man with small ideas, but
still unambitious and incOrrUptible.
Now he is regarded as a knave, eaten

ton, and contempdbly avaricious.
Washington, Jefferson, Monroe,
Jackson and Polk left the White
House poorer than when they
entered it; but Grants wealth
Is already reputed at six mill
lions, and he is daily adding to his
.pIeth0ric Golfers and filling the peck
cts ofhis poor kin. If Grant succeeds
in his put-up San Domingo job hewin

twenty or thirty millions Of dollars.
The exposure of CresweHs villainies,
Grants Postmaster General, the con-
duct Of his worthless son at West
Point, and the Developments of each
day, have convinced the President that
the walls of the chambers are gradU-
ally but surely closing upon him, 1t
is to be hoped it viii not be long be-
fore the President will be taken out
as fiat as the rat which is sometimes
found under a huge mash-trap.

THE Democratic press, from Florida
to California, and from Maine to Tex
as, have exhausted the language Of
praise in commencing the recentmes-
sages Of Governor Holman, of New
York, and Governor Geary, OF Penn
sylvania, in which they denOunce the
administration for sending Federal
soldiers into several States to interfere
in elections. We have joined in this
praise, because we felt that the ener-
getic protests Of the Governors OF two
of the largest States in the Union
presaged a return OF those days
when Constitutional law and the wise
checks and balances between the
States and the Federal Government
were scrupulously observed by the
people. But, whilepraising Governor
Hoffman and Governor Geary, we
have felt that they should have gone
further. Good intentions are worth
nothing without good deeds. Great
men make great occasions; and when
Grant forced his troops into New
York, in violation of the law Of that
State, for the purpose Of Overawing
a free people in the exercise OF
their Constitutional rights, if Gov
ernor Hoffman had boldly met
the issue by driving the usurp-
ers from The State, he would
have won the affections and conf
dence of a people weary Of despotism
and ready to kill tyrants with bullets
and tyranny with constitutional ideas.
The people are weary Of the buffet
Jugs and insults Of military satraps.
Hoffman and Geary may fire paper
bullets at the invaders Of the Hber-
ties Of the people till the sky falls,
without moving the tyrants. The
quiet submission to the right Of the
Federal government to interfere with
the elective franchise, established a
precedent destructive Of the very
foundation Of our system Of govern
ment. Against u~nwarranted and IN
constitutional military Usurpations Of.
the Federal government, we know of
no other power Of opposition than
Constitutional military State power.
Such power Governor Hoffmanand the
Radical Governor Of Pennsylvania
commanded but they had not the cOur-
age to use it for the protection Of the
sovereignty Of the States whose chief
officers they are. The Constitution
guarantees the people and the States
the right OF free elections; but the
Radical usurpers, with an audacity
almost unparalleled 10 history, have
cOnspired to break down this guarau-
tee-One Of Che most important in the
Federal cOmp8ct-snd control the
results Of elections by bayonets in the
pay Of the corrupt factions Of the Rad |
ical party. Governor Hoffman had at /
his command an excellent and well
organized militia; he is sworn 10 pre-
serve and protect the rights Of his peo-
pie; and II the foolish Washington
despots insisted upon precipitating
a collision by attempting to enforce
the o~diousacts Of the rump caucus in
reference TO elections, New York
should have resisted the bayonet bv
the bullet. Governor Hoffman lost
his opportunity to achieve greatness,
and now the audacity and annoyance
OF the shOddy Upstairs and imbeciIes
who run the Washington government.
must be met and thWarted by the peo-
pie at the polls, or there is an end to
popular liberty and Constitutional
law.

Indigestion or Dyspepsia,

Is weakness or want OF power of the digestive
Juices IN the stomach to convert our iOoo and
drink into healthy matter for the nonrithment
OF the whole g stem. 1t is csueed by every
thing that tends to weaken the body, and more
particularly the stomach. Nearly, If moi quite
one lf OF the diseases, to which we are liable,
proceed from 1t. Indigestion produces a great
variety OF unpleass ant feelings. Among tie
most prominent OF it's miserable effects Hre,
want of, or an inordinAte appetite, Eomstlmes
attended with q constant craving for dIlnkJ sour
stomach, grinding pains in the stomach, otpres-
sion of spirits gloom of mind, ffetfu!Dess, Wsst-
ing of flesh, loss Of energy and strength, very
irritable, heart burn, unpleafant taste in the
mouth and IumblIng in the bowels. In some
cases Of depTayed indigestion, there is eom-
plete disrelish for food, st other times person
so afflicted can eat heartily without much graft
doation. a long train OF nervous symptoms are
also frequent attendants, general debility grea!
angudness and iueapScity for ezertion. The
minds Of persons 90 afflicted frequently become
irritable and defponding, and great anxiety is
observable in the cOuntenance; they appear
thoughtful, melancholy, and detected, under
| great apprehension Of come imaginary danger,
will start at sny unexpected noise or occurrence,
/ and much sgitated. le: for all this the mind
! is exhilersted without much difficulty, pleasing
events and society will FOX q time diSsipate all
| appearance of disease. Other symptoms are, vi
oent pslpattiion, sestlessneHs with sense OF
weight and Oppression upon the chest, night
mare, etc. Il i. almost impossible to nsme all
the symptoms Of this invader upon the constitu-
tion. as in almost every case Of indigestion,
there will probably he something peculiar 70
each, but be what they may, they sre sl oees-
stoned by the food becoming a burden, rather
than q support TO the stomach, and in all its sta
ges the medicine most wanted is that which
will afford speed ~ assistance 70 the digestive or
game an give energy and strength to the ner-
vous and muscular system, ana new life to
the ole body, and nothing csn be, and there
Is nothing that will give qack relief as Iay
