ADJUSTMENTS.



Sig. Muzio, who has returned To New Y oTk,
says that Italy has now the best prospects for
revival Of her golden age Of art. There are many
new composers Of merit, notably Marchetti,
Comes and Cobalt, whose works have attained
high popularity. SIgnor MuZio speaks enthu-
sastically ofhis visit to his old friend and raster,
Verdi, and he predicts o grand success Tor the
Manzoni Messl Requiem. The blind obstinacy Of
the French Government in encouraging no lyric
works unless Of native growth is likely to exer-
else baleful influence on art in Paris. The con-
ditIons imposed upon NJ. Batter. the imprssario
Of italian opera in that city for the next season.

THE THEATRE COMIQUE.
This afternoon and evening close the excellent
programme Of the week at the Theatre COmique.
Little LUttas songs, particularly her sentimental
ones remind the listener Of "the positive hypO-
chondTia in her father and grandfather, and in
certain moods OF reaction the world becomes
black to her, and she sees very dIspairingly." In
such moods she sings "Good Bye, Sweet Heart
Good Bye" as though every note camo from a.

THE OLD-TIME MINSTRELS.
We are pleased IN being able to make the an-
nouncement that Mr. Sam S. Sanford has deter
mined to remain another week at Odd Fellows
hall Ensemble, his audiences are fashionable
yet old people preponderato in number. The
performance is Of artistic excellence, and the
darkey songs Of ye olden time in their revival
/ have an air Of absolute freshness. The hall 1:
crowded every night, and its fine acoustic prop

corner Of Seventh and P streets northwest, limo
Gently enjoying themselves, and disturbing no
one. the man aboYe-named rushed out Of his place
Of business and struck one of the little fellows
named John W Hines, almost knocking him down.
A brother of the boy, approaching at the time and
witnessing the unproyOked assault, went to his
assistance, when Mcclure stepped back into the
store, seized whip and applied tquite vigorously
to the person Of the elder brother. At this juno
ture Of affairs Officer Charles W. Proctor, doing
duty at the Executive Mansion, came upon the
scene and endeaVored to arrest Mcclure, when
he rushed back into the store and selIing loaded
revolver pointed It towards the ofacer and threat
sned to present him with its contents unless he

RREAKrna ~ ON RAR SHIP.

A force Of WoTkmen have been engaged for the
past two days breaking up the old United States
steamer Nipsic, now lying at the navy yaTd. Her
masts are all oBt the bulHsrkS are nearly all cut
away, and her quarterback is removed. What 1t
took days to put together is now torn away in q
few hours. When the Horkmen have removed
everything that can be taken out while the
vessel is in the water, she will DO placed on the
marine railway, and there the work Of demolition
will be finished. The greater portion Of the tim
bers taken out Of the vessel are rotten, and they
show plainly that she could not stand the wind
and waves much longer.

PnnTPLAnR7R REHEvnE

The New York Tribune Of yesterday relates the
following: zone Of the clerks In an uptown hotel
who blacks boots for the guests. Thursday morn
inp the clerk went down stairs a. usual TO have
bis boots polished. This done, he proceeded to
take HIS customary stroll on Broadway, and no.
ticed that people looked at his feet in peculiar
manner. At length he glanced down with some
curiosity to see what attracted the eyes Of the
passers, and was horror stricken to observe pc,
euliar blush shine upon the leather. The clerk
did not return to the hotel BY the way Of Broad
way, but Eneaked along side street and entered
by the back door. The porter protested his inao
eenee, but the unhappy clerk persists in the be
lief that his boots were blaekened with stow
polish"

TIE COUPON TICKET BUSINESS.

1t was mentioned some days ago that the ex-
change Of coupons for through travel bet ween
Washington and New York, so far as the rival
lines between Baltimore and Washington are
concerned, had stopped on account of the circular
order Of the Baltimore and Potomac road an
nouneing the determination not to receive any
more coupons OF the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
according to previous arrangement. This order
has been somewhat modified in the interest OF
through travel from New York, but not from
Washington. Coupons on tickets from the North
are recognised on either road between Baltimore
and Washington, but the Baltimore and Potomac
Company still decline the mutual acceptance Of
coupons Of tickets bought by parties starting
from Washington. Thus the inconVenlenee to
the travelling public coming north from Washing
ton Is still imposed. --BGlfimors Sun.
