Mr. Dawes of Mass, introduced bill
last week for restoring the import duty
on tea and coffee-12 cents upon the first,
and 8 cents upon the last The argument
is that on the repeal of these duties, they
were at once added to the price, aud the
consumer in consequence, derived no
benefit from the measure.

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
Your hint in this mornings HERALD in regard
to charity operate performance is in the
right vein, and should be taken into consdera-
tion by some OF our managers 1t IS for Mr.. Max
Strakosch to carry OF the palm. II he could make
arrangements for the Joint appearance OF Mines
NILSSON and Lucca, in conjunction with his supe-
ror company, 1t would be the greatest financial
success yet recorded in the annals of Italian opera
in New YORK. For instance, should he give 'DOn
juan" with Nilsson as Donna Elvira and Lucca as
Zeriina; or "ll TrOvatOre" with Nilsson as Leo
nora and Lucca as Azucena, 1t would result in
0000 to $4,000 house. Boxes and stalls should
be sold at auction, including the best taken by the
stockholders, and would bring probably larger
sums than the yearly Charity Ban.
Mines. Nilsson and Lucca are both to leave us
soon Could they not after their present engage
ments terminate give this the greatest opera per-
Torrance ever attempted In New York, which
would be highly appreciated by the musical people
