The fast and abstinence typical Of the peni-
tential season Of Lent cannot be applied to
music in this city. At no period of the year
have We had more bounteous feast of lyric
art and the attractions are so varied and nu-
merous as to perple1 one DESTROYS of enjoying
all Nilsson at the Academy of Music. Di
Murska at the Lyceum and Lucca at
the Stadt Theatre, with q Philharmonic
rehearsal and o Thomas matinee during
tho same week, present combination of
musical features not to be found in any other
city in the world It is an incontrovertible
argument in favor Of what we have repeatedly
asserted, that New York is a thoroughly must
cal city, and that here talent and managerial
enterprise will always receive due acknowl-
edgment from the public. The enormous
houses drawn by Nine. Lucca in German
opera have had no effect upon the attractive
powers Of Nine. Nilsson on the Italian
stage, while Mile. Di Murska managed
to secure fair audience OF each Of her
performances As if the present attractions
were not sufficient, we are to have an addition
this week in the shape of opera boufe by Mile.
Aimee and her company. 1t is singular that
all these companies should manage to cometo
this city at the same time. There is, occa-
sionally, blank in the musical season. for
the reason that managers will insist upon
coming in a body, instead of making arrange
ments for one attraction to follow another.
Whether this is good policy it is not for any
one to say as long as the public supports such
enterprises It might not be advisable, how
ever, to make any further demands on the
iberality of New York opera-goers. Three
opera companies will suffice for one season.
AS fitting acknowledgment Of the favors they
have received from our public Mines. Nilsson
and Lucca and Mile. Di Murska should. before
their departure from America, give at least
one grand charity performance The noble
examples furnished them by the dramatic pro-
fession should be sufficient to draw their atten-
ton to the suffering poor of city which has
been so liberal to them. It would be grace
full tribute of gratitude and would be well APP
preciated.

AsHANTEE.-It will be welcome news to
Americans as well as to Englishmen that Sir
Garnet Wolseley has begun to send his victo-
rious army home The sickly season rapidly
approaches on the Gold Coast, and the soldiers
will be speedily withdrawn from its influence.
England will, we presume, make treaty Of
alliance with the Ashantees now that she has
burned Coomassie and shown her power. We
are glad to think the war is over, no matter
what the policy of England may be- 1t was
not pleasant to think of white men dying in
African jungles or falling before the bullets of
merciless sayages.

has attended the efforts of the temperance
advocates, and q marked falling of
II reported In the revenue receipts
This success has, however, been achieved
rather in spite Of the tactics adopted by the
enthusiasts than by their aid The conquest
over King Alcohol would be more secure were
it based ON the solid grounds of conviction
rather than temporary enthusiasm. Women
could certainly do much to discourage drink
ing habits among their gentlemen friends
in the home circle and in society.
And If tho good is to be permanent
it Is in tho homes rather than in the
barrooms that the temperance lectures must
be preached. If hightful examples were an
efficient cure for the evil of drunkenness the
columns of the daily papers would furnish
lessons enough in the follies and crimes COM
mltted by men and women under the influence
OF intoxicating liquors. A curious feature
IN connection with the temperance crusade
is the indifference, if not hostility, shown
by the churches. One Of the crusaders an
nounced that they were compelled to preach
temperance in the barrooms because the
churches were closed against them. We hope
there Is some exaggeration in this statement
The school houses attached to the various
churches might be placed at the dis
posal of the temperance advocates, SO that
the questionable habit of hymn singing in bar
rooms and saloons might be avoided. 1t is
certain that the Ohio system cannot safely be

more apt to bring temperance and hymn sing

ton among the class of men likely to be
attracted by sensational efforts in the cause Of
virtue.

GERMANY.-The Prussian government has
divided among the States Of the German En-
pire forty-two million thalers. This is another
part of the French indemnity. Somehow
Germany does not seem to have had much
good out of that money; for we hear con-
stantly of financial endorsements and threat
ened panics, while France seems to be un-
usually easy and prosperous.

SpAN.-Marshal Serrano evidently does not
feel comfortable about affairs in the North.
Don Carlos may propose to be crowned in
Bilbao but not if the soldier President can
prevent it. Serrano stamped out the Carlist
war in the time of Amadeus. But the
fires of rebellion have burned in these Basque
mountains for a generation, and they will
shoulder and burn for another, no matter
who reigns at Madrid. The adventurous, re-
bellious spirit will be no more crushed by
the victory of Serrano than it was by the vic
tory of Espartero. The only remedy for Carl
ism is education and republican institutions.
REDUCED IMPORTS AND INCREASED Ex-
PoRTs.-We have imported since the LIST of
January merchandise to the amount of
$70,6S6, S52. In the corresponding period of
last year the amount was $50, All, 621. The
difference is nearly twelve millions. The
exports this year have amounted to
SAT, 412,3 04. Last year up to the same date
they were 81 299,975. The difference is
So, liz, 329. Thus the trade in our favor this
year over that of last year amounts to
upwards of fifteen millions If we can 90 on
in this way, and improve upon it, there will
be less demand abroad for our gold, premium
may decline, and we may approximate to
specie basis. The problem of specie payments
is to be solved by the balance of trade
THE EAST COLORADO DEsERT.-We have q
report from Washington of scientific ex-
ploration of the East Colorado Desert at the
expense of Senator Jones, of Nevada. This
report must be document of rare interest,
and Senator Jones deserves much credit for
his enterprise. The conclusions are that the
desert was formerly sea- and that the Aztec
civilization of Arizona came to an end from
climatic changes caused by the evaporation of
the vast lakes in Southern California.
Senator Jones thinks these lands could
be reclaimed by irrigation, and intimates that
the government alone has resources sufficient
to redeem them. We are afraid of this last
suggestion. The government has enough to
do with its money; and, as to the desert lands,
it will take a thousand years for us to settle
our fertile lands. In 1874 A. D., let Senator
Jones bring in his irrigation bill, and the
HERALD will support it but, we are afraid, not
TIL then.

Lo. THE Pooh LOBSTER Since the
new law went irto operation regulating
the size of Holsters offered for sale, the
Nahant fishermen adopt very ingenious
method of getting over the difficulty.
Their plan is as follows: When they get
hold of lobster who does not come up to
the proper size, they lay him Oh his back,
tickle him under the ribs with straw till
he almost bursts himself laughing; and
when he is swelled up to the proper size
he is suddenly immersed in hot bath
which prevents any further shrinking, and
is then sent to market. The only sure
plan for detecting Holsters submitted to
this treatment, 1--WE publish this for the
especial benefit of the Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Dumb Animals, )is
to examine the lobster carefully between
the eyebrows and ears; and if you discover
faint traces of a rather melancholy smile
Illuminating his angelic countenance, rest
assured that this is martyr to mans in
humanity, and victim of misplaced con-
fidence.

Hydrophob:a Disarmed.

The following paragraph will be impor-
tant to persons proposing to be bitten bf
mas! dogs;
a French physician, DR.. Buisson of
LYONS, claims that he has discovered 4
remedy for hydrophobia. When a person
has been bitten by mad dog, he should
for seven successive days take Russian
vapor bath of 154 to IA degrees Fahren-
heit. This bath may be quickly prepared
by putting three or four red-hot bricks in
to Il tub of water, over which the patient
must sit in a cane-bottomcd OF willow
chair tor fifteen OF twenty minutes. After
the disease has declared itself, one yapor
bath is sufficient, but the patient must be
strictly confined to his room until the cure
is complete Dir. Buisson says that he has
applied this method of treatment to more
than eighty persons bitten by mad ami
mails. and that he never lost single case.
He discovered the remedy when taking a
vapor bath himself for the purpose of kill
ing himself by suffocation after he had
caught the hydrophoba from the saliva OF
a patient. When the bath was at about
"a Fahrenheit all the symptoms disappear
ed as if by magic and never returned.
