Mrs. Henrietta Cbanfrau, supported by

said To have occurred in Bi lyn, con
nected with trnst company failure. 1t is
enlivened little by the character of Jour
nalst, played effectively by Mr.. j. B. Polk,
and by the appearance Of an ancient maid
en- lady, with opinions, acted by Mrs. E B
Vandereu, There is the william who plots
and schemes, the weak man who deserts
his wife when danger comes, and there is
the heroine wife who suffers. Mrs. Chan
fran made effective the part of the wife, as
sue does nothing badly. The set scenes of
the different acts were elegant specimens
OF the stage resources of the theatre and
testified that two unseen men, II. Dressed,
scenic artist, and Robert Jones, stage man
ager, are the right men in the right place.

Nardynn and Duparc had leading parts,
and exerted themselves to give due effect
to their roles. The opera is full of action,

the soliloquies superbly, and gives due
weight to the fears, the ambitions and the
dark deeds of the usurpiug King of Scot
land. The absence of Ban9uo from the
banquet scene was departure from the
stage traditions, bu. SO effectively managed
by Mr. Sullivan, whose acting showed that
the Imagination of Macbeth conceived a re

WHEREAS. 1t is understood through As
soclated Press uiapatches that the dir.cturs
OF the Western tuion Telegraph Cumpany

cen': and
Whereas, The employees of the Southern
DIVISION have already submitted, without .
murmur, 20 reduction within the past
year therefore, be il
fesOtred, That We heartily and sincerely
trust that you will lend us YOUR kind
oitces IN procuring reconsideration of
this actlon. We are, as class, poorly com
pensated for our services, and in many u-
stances the present salaries are barely sutti.
Cit Mt for our support. Many of us have
spent the best years of our lives in the ser
vice OF the company, and hope our long
and faithful services will be favorably con.
sldered. When we consider the fact tn at
In the report of the executive COMMITTEES
they report the total profits for the past
Blk months over one and three-quarters
millions OF dollars aud DIT clare two per
cent quarterly dividend, and in view of the
TACT that the past Six months have been
more disastrous to the commercial world
than for several years, and that the pros
poets for the future are more promising Tor
an increase OF business and receipts, We,
therefore, earnestly but respectfully re
monstrate against any reduction of our
salaries, and REQUEST you to forward this
communication TO the president or execu-
tive committees through the superin tend-n's,
with such endorsement as in yolr Judgment
may seem best.

church singers, and amateurs having voices
equal to solo or chorus singing, are invited
TO join the society. Mr.. E. Grouerelt, of the
Germania Guartette, is the present con.
duetor, Mr.. o. Schreiber is accompanist,
Mr.. William E. Cooper is the financial sec
retary, and Mr. Charles c. Tracey is the
treasurer of the society. Already a large
number OF our best singers are enrolled on
the list of membership. The society meets
every Monday evening al parlors in Grune-
wald Hall, for practice, where those wish
ing to Join the organization can report them
selves. The inquiry has often been made WHY
New Orleans, with so much musical talent
and with so many fine voices, has never
had musical society capable Of rendering
the great oratorios and giving concerts in
the style of the Handel and Haydn and
similar societies popular in the Northern
cities. The want has been union of sing
ers. An organization has been needed to
bring the ladies and gentlemen of the differ
ent church choirs and other vocalists to-
gether The Philharmonic Society promises
to accomplish all that is desired in that
direction, and we shall look for gratifying
results in the future Those who object to
operatic entertainments would gladly pat.
ronize oratorio festivals, and there IL GER
tainly talent enough here to render the
sacred works of the great masters with fine
effect.

NEW YORK.


New YORK, December l3-A trunk con-
tainlng fifteen million dollars worth of
bonds was stolen from an express wagon, at
the corner of Watts and Canal streets, on
Saturday last The bonds, at the time, were
in care OF the minister from Guatemala,
were 10 be used as part of the payment due
the United States government. The minis
ter, on Saturday, intending to go to Wash
ington, packed them in his trunk.
A well known thief. named Fuller, whom
a bootback identified as one of the three
men he saw seize the trunk, has been ar
rested. The minister went to Washington
last night.
Tweed's Bondsmen In Danger.
A motion was made by the district attor-
ney in the Court of Oyer and Terminer to
1orielt the recognizances of William NJ.
Tweed in the various indictments found
against him tor conspiracy and forgery.
Dudley Field represented Mr.. Charles
Devlin, one of the bail men, and
when the latter was called on to pro-
duce Tweed, his counsel handed in an
affidavit, showing cause why recognizance
should not be forfeited, setting forth that
the plaintiffs themselves made it impossible
Tor the bondsmen 10 produce the defendant,
and after recognizances were entered into
plaintiffs took the defendant out of the
bondsmens hands on civil suit and turned
him over to the sheriff; that claim on Mr.
Devlin was thus unfounded, and should
fail. The district attorney argued that it
was the duty of the court to order a for
feiture, and Mr.. Fields points could be
argued at the general term; and also that
the bonds were merely suspended by the
of Tweed on the civil suits,
The court reserved its decision until Mon
day.

of the lungs, etc, and it was recon-
mended for nervous persons. Although
it may be serviceable in such cases, it
can hardly be considered medicinal, and
the Berlin manufacturer claims that 1t

cause it is less stimulating. In all cases
it is recommended to employ an equal
quantity Of pure coffee with the substi-

said to be exceedingly file, as well as
the flavor.
