American Musical Exporta,io,s

Until recently the American musical market
has been supplied almost entirely BY the Old
World. Onr opera troupes have heretofore had
for star singers those worn out in service abroad
and, who, rs last resort to add TO their ex-
ehequer, have crossed the seas to offer them
selves TO our audiences, endorsed only by their
previous regulations. Our native talent, has
however, of late, shown itself of such quality
that the imported stars cease TO attract and we
are even turning the tables by supplying Eu-
rope with musical talent. A glance at the list
OF artists who are, or have been in Europe, will
prove that the United States furnishes many of
the vocalisis who have achieved the highest
position. Amongst the soprani we have sent
the two PATHS, (Adelina and CarlOttaD Miss
Minnie Hsuck, Jennie Van Zandt, Miss Abbott
and Mrs Noulton, Albani, (whose success At
the Royal Italian Opera House has been i'm
mense,) and Mrs. Hall, who has just made her
debut at the Crystal Palace, Sydenham. OF the
contrslu, Adelaide Philips and her sister Ma
tide, now singing In Milan, and Miss 4 ntoinette
Sterling, whose brilliant success at Riyieres
concerts in London is a matter of current record.
have no suIeriors across the water. Our favorite
tenor, Castle. and Campbell, the baritone are
performing Er glish opera at Drury Lane.
Chas. Adams, of Boston, has been reengaged As
principal tenor at the Grand Opera House at
Vienna, and rejOices in the title of "Herr
Adams" Signor Foil, the bssso, who is lead
ing oratorio singer in England, is none other
thar 'JOhn FOley,"a native of Connecticut
Whitney, our New England basso, has been
singing with marked success at the English
musical festivals. Mr.. William Lake, of Wash

Is a native of Cincinnati. Not only in profess
sioIsl life does American talent show itself.
Many American amateur musicians, both vocal
and Instrumental, abroad have attracted great
attention and received high compliments. We
have in our own city large amount Of latent
talent, which only need- engagement and
careful training to develop first class perform
ers. The fac quality of our amateur talent h AZ
been already manifested in private musicales
given at the residences Of some of our promi-
neBt citizens.

The Philadelphia Ledger gives the particulars
OF what it styles ga manly form of cooper Att on,
just established at the Baldwin locomotive
works in the city named. This system of relief,
says that paper, is one worthy of consideration
as permanent institution in all industrial es-
adjustments that employ a large enough num-
Der Of workmeD, since it is free from the objec-
lions to charities that destroy indepe ndence of
character and self-respect. During prosperous
seasons II Is proposed to levy tax on every
mans wages, and, If necessity requires it, the
tax will be increased in dull seasons when occa-
sion demands that assistance be given to unem-
ployed men. Relief obtained by workmen from
such fund, SAYS the Ledger, would be received
by them not in the form OF charity-an objec-
tonable form for many reasons-but as the
fruits Of their own earnings and thrift, CAPT.
talized at but small sacrifice in the past, in the
interestsof kindly good fellowship.

The lawyers Of New York city were almost
unanimously in favor Of changing the system OF
electing judges in the state, to appointment by
the Governor and confirmation by the state SEN
ate. Most OF the influential journals also favored
this change, but the unterrifed voters at the
last election Overruled the press and the law
yers by voting down the proposed amendments
to the constitution by large majorities. The
amendment providing for the appointment Of
judges of the higher courts received only us 33I
