The Revival or Opera Boufre.

On the evening of September %, 1867, Mr.
Bateman introduced to the New York public
style Of entertainment that instantly became
popular and for long time held prominent
position in the musical world. Night after
night the Theatre Franeais, in Fourteenth
street, was crowded, while empty benches
gave an ominous appearance to the Academy
and the strains of '.La Grande Duchesse' were
heard in salon, concert and on the street. The
''Sabre de Mon Pere" became more potent
than 'Spirito Gentir' and the mock trio of
Boum, Puck and Paul more attractive than the
"Benediction des Poignards' or the quintet
of ''Ernani." Thus opera boufe was launched
on the full tide of prosperity, and it foated
along with its strange cargo Of diablerie and
c.1scan until another captain took command.
Then for a time it had a prosperous voyage,
especially when "Genevieve de Brabant' was
on deck but it soon got into ugly places and
finally was wrecked on the shores of 1--WE may
call it) bankruptcy. The subsequent efforts
of its directors, either at the Theatre Francais,
Niblo's, Grand Opera House or Fifth Avenue
Theatre, were not sufficient to keep opera boufe
in its originally successful course. For time
it was all the rage. limitations and burlesques
sprung up on all sides, but the public at
length were drawn away from it by the attrac-
tions of other entertainments
Mile. Aimee, the best of the half dozen
prime donne who made this description of
music a speciality confident in the attractive
power of opera boufe when given in theatre
commensurate with its light, sparkling charac-
ter, now proposes revival Of it at the Olym-
pic, with an entirely new company and with
many new novelties in the repertoire. There is
no reason why such revival should not be
successful The failure of opera boufs before
may be traced to various sources. It was
''run into the ground by every manager at
tempting it. The same round of Offenbach's
operas was given until the public grew weary,
and for long time its home was on vast
stage, better adapted for Meyerbeer's grand
works than the delicate, brilliant scenes of
musical farce. Mile. Aimee is recognized
favorite in New York, and with good com-
pany and judicious management her season
here should be successful one. The charm
with which Ofenbach once held the public
mind is not wholly departed, and there are
many who will hail this revival with pleasure

SALT LAKE CITY, Oct. 0, 1872.
The Mormon Conference Is still In session, and
the attendance is large. Brigham Young, Jr.,
spoke this morning against the saints following the
fashions OF the day, and deprecated the growing
bad habits OF the young men, which, he said would
eventually result In their leaving the Church.
Apostle Smith made an idress endorsing "Cees-
tal marriage" Brigham Young was reelected
Prophet, Seer, &c. unanimously. The other oil.
GERS of the Church were generally reelected. Thlr
teen missionaries were appointed for Europe.
Brigham Young urged the necessity Of the payment
OF tithing, declaring that the Lord would chasten
the people II they failed In that duty.
The Grand Lodge OF Masons has not yet ad-
journed.
The Mormon Semi-annua Conference has ad-
journed until April 8, 1873. The attendance
throughout was large. The necessity of paying
tithng was the burden Of the discourses Brigham
Young announces that he will establish city ac-

The government has within the past Sum-
mer planted signal station for physical and
meteorological observations on the Island of
ST. Paul, in Behring Sea. The observer sent
thither by the Weather Bureau is charged
with the duty of extensive research and fire.
quent reports as to the entire Alaskan and
Aleutian territory, and much valuable and in
teresting matter is expected from him. This
outpost of science in the North Pacific will be
Of special value in studying the climatology of
the whole northwestern coast of America, and
will connect its Investigations with the oceanic
explorations soon to be undertaken by the
navy in the waters south of the Aleutian
Islands.
The latest advices from the st. Paul OBJ
server give interesting data Of earthquakes,
auroral displays and of the Summer gales
which are generated in the North Pacific and
thence sweep eastward over the United States.
The Signal Service, it is said, will shortly oc-
cupy station in the Sandwich Ispnds, and
when the latter is connected with San Fran
cisco by the Pacific cable the weather reports
will extend over nearly hundred degrees of
longitude.
The reports from the Island of st. Paul and
the Sandwich Islands will enable scientific
men to link the physical geography and eli
matte conditions Of the great Japan Stream or
Pacific Gulf Stream, known as the Kuro
siwo, and the warm wind systems of our Pa
cifc States and Territories with the phenome-
nal mild Winter belt of our far Northwest.

The Trotting Horse.

Prior to 1920 Boston Blue was the only trot-
ting horse that had beaten three minutes
but since that time, by selective breeding from
thoroughbred stock and judicious training, we
have many horses at the present day that can
trot under two minutes and twenty seconds.
Our high-bred trotters resemble the thorough
bred racer so much in appearance that the
gait alone is the distinguishing difference be-
tween them. Many of our very fastest trot-
ters are three-quarters or seven-eighths pure
blood, and are the most beautiful animals on
earth. The value of the trotting horse has in
creased immensely within the last thirty years.
When the famous trotter Dutchman, whose
three mile record stood at the head of the list
for thirty-three years, was purchased by Mr..
Hammel, of Philadelphia, just prior to his
great performance of three miles in 1921, the
price paid for him was three thousand dollars,
whereas since that time many horses that
could not have performed the feat that he did
have been sold for from twenty thousand to
thirty thousand dollars. The cause of the
great advance in the rate of the trotting
horse was the great rivalry that existed
among our old merchants and wealthy citi-
zens for the possession Of speed, and their
inclination to make matches on their respec-
tive favorites, and trotting tracks were laid out
oil over the country to encourage this laudable
pride in improving the trotting horse by cul-
tivating his action. The country became much
enriched by the increasing value of the i'm
proved system of breeding, until at this time
the value Of the horses at present in America
may be estimated ut the enormous figure of
three thousand million dollars.
But the question arises, will this increase in
the value of horses continue or will it fall off?
Is there not an element working its way into
the trotting turf that will in time make this
popular amusement with oil classes Of our
people unpopular 1t is but few years since
gentlemen owners of fast trotters were fond of
making matches on their pets and many
happy days were spent on old Centreville,
Union, Huntington, Beacon, Cambridge and
other trotting courses in the neighborhood of
this and our sister Cities Do We find these

points Of the information they have derived
from their visit are published in another
column Of the HERALD. The means intended

be of as little avail as it will be expensive.
In only one way can it be made to near its
purpose by allowing our cavalry to
pursue the cattle-thieves ON Mexican soil
which is at present an Arcadia for them. With
Mexico powerless TO prevent these incursions
on United States territory. and our soldiers
obliged to follow the marauders back to their
Mexican lairs, it seems to US short distance
to the only real cure for the trouble, and that
is annexation.

We think our northern neighbors slow So
they are if we contrast their history with ours
for the past century. Still, the statistics show
that during the last decade Canada has received
by immigration an addition of more than
forty per cent to her population, and during
the last thirty-three years more than twice
doubled her number Of inhabitants, count
ing now two and half millions. against half
q million third Of century ago. AS our
population exceeds that Of the Canadian Do
minion by more than tenfold it is natural for
us to look upon her growth as insignificant
Yet since the breaking out of our late war she
has gained at more rapid proportionate rate
than we have. our increment OF population
having been thirty-6ve per cent. As Canada
has three hundred and fifty thousand square
miles of territory. being equal in extent to
Great Britain, France and Prussia, or Six
times the size Of England and Wales,
she has as yet only ten persons for
each six hundred and forty acres OF
land. Consequently she has abundance
of room for all who may come to find homes
upon her fertile soil or to win fortune from
the abundant facilities she offers for profitable
commercial or industrial enterprise. Should
she continue to grow at her present rate till
the end Of this century she will then have
population Of twenty millions, or about half
our present number. Though events do not
move with o rush so rapid beyond our northern
frontier as on this side of it, Canada has vast
enterprises which mark her population as en-
bracing the same elements Of thrift which are
so rapidly developing our own greatness. Her
great rivers and excellent harbors, her canals
and railways, when completed, will offer to the
products of her fields, forests and mines easy
means of export, while her rapidly growing
and prosperous population will furnish abun-
dant consumers for the fabrics with which
Europe balances the traffic. It cannot be
doubted that for British subjects who wish to
escape the overcrowding and excessive COM
petition in all industrial and commercial
pursuits sat home" and who hesitate
about trying our experiment Of self
government, Canada offers abundant hope for
an improved condition, and it is fair to be-
lieve that for several decades she will receive
constant and liberal flow of immigration, and
that the two English speaking nations must
control the destinies of North America. If in
time Canada wishes to take her place in the
constellation of stars upon our banner Of free
dom we hold ourselves ready to comply with
the dictates Of manifest destiny" Should
she prefer to stay out of the Union we shall
still be true friends, generous rivals and good
neighbors. Her prosperity will only stimu-
late ours
