THEODORE THOMAS, CONCERTS.

Yesterday afternoon Theodore Thomas gave hls
third grand concert at the Scnuetzen Park Union
HUI. Hoboken, to large and appreciative audi
euce. The programme, which was admirably va
ricd in its character contained, among other Sc
iections, the overtures TO der Frclschutz" and
''Tannhaeuser,n Mendelssohn's Wedding March
from the "Midsummer Nights Dream" Andante
from Beetnoven's Piitn symphony and selections
rom "Willlan Tel" besides compositions by
strauss, LlsZt, Gounod and AMBROSE Thomas. IL
Is almost unnecessary to say that the execution OF
the various numbers was marked by that wonder
fu precision OF movement and correctness OF eX.
preston for which Theodore Thomas orchestra
mas obtained such wei-earned reputation These
concerts are evidently appreciated by our neigh
bors in Jersey, and many New Workers avail them
selves OF the opportunity they furnish OF enjoying

From the AthenGum.1

II
The author, with excellent good sense, relrains
from repeating the threadbare arguments which
are used on one side and the other about the Cen
tral Asian question, which chiefly exists in the
Imagination OF lew people, whose interest it is
TO set US by the ears and to see that the quarrel
does not die out, judiciously rubbing the with
a pamphlet whenever it seems IN fair way Of
healing up. 1t Is not in Central Asia that we shall
ever come in contact with the power with which
we have lately been exchanging cOurtesies which
seem likely to emoitter our relations rather than
to render them more friendly. Mr.. MacGahan's
book is so good that 1t could arord to nave poll
tics in it; having none, 1t Is better. book more
freshly written. and with more interesting mat
ter, both general and personal, is seldom to De

which women have been placed in that Territory
in office, in the jury-box, at the polls-they
have discharged these new and Arduous duties
with credit to themselves and usefulness to the
community. Those, who three years ago made
an effort to repeal the law have spent = good

II there is now any considerable hostility to
woman suffrage in the Territory, it will be
found only in the ranks of men Engaged in those
pursuits and occupations which are are always
