CINCINNATI.
The Big Musical Event Of the Week
@ButterfIies On a Bed OF Roses"


sBuiterfIies On a Bed OF Roses"
CINCINNATI, May 13.-The appearance
of that part Of the festival hall occupied by
the performers this evening drew exclama-
tions of delight and pleasure from the
audience. That portion of the terraced
stage occupied by the chorus was filled
with children from the public schools, who
not only crowded the entire space provided
for them, but OverflOwed into the galleries
on either side. Their bright, cheerful
faces and the holiday attire Of the young
misses, which was Of white with pink or
blue ribbons, gave an aspect to that portion
of the house Of a most pleasing character.
The fiUttering Of fans among them appear
ed like butterflies on a bed Of roses. The
ChOruses were Of an easier character than
those Of the preceding concerts, but were
sung by the children with great precision.
They manifested no trepidatiOn or
hesitancy, but rendered their parts
with surprising exactness, and were
responsive to the slightest motions Of
theiI conductor, Mr.. Thomas. For the
evening was reserved the grand occasion of
the week. Seats were at a premium early
in the evening, and the out pouring of the
people at night was too mich for the limit
ed capacity of the hall. All the seats be-
ing filed, the crowd took possession Of
portion Of the aisles. The lObbies were
packed, and before o'clock it became ne
cessary to stop the sale Of admission tick
cts at the entrances.
Competent critics pronounce the even
ing's performance far superior to anything
heretofore given in America. Miss Cary,
at the close, expressed herself in a similar
manner, and other soloists reaffirmed her
opinion.
Tomorrow the matinee comprises Sc
lectiUns from Beethoven, Mozart, Mendels-
sOhn, Gluck, Wagner, Weber, Handel and
Verdi, and the festival closes tomorrow
evening with Schubert's grand symphony
in G, Wagner's Walkure, and PrOmetheus.

The wheat Prospect Across the Ohio
Putting in More Corn.
TOLEDO, o., May 13.-The Blade pub
fishes this morning an elaborate crop re-
port carefully compiled from statements by
competent parties at $50 points in Ohio,
Illinois, Missouri and Iowa. These state
ments indicate that there has been from
one-fOurth to One-third of the wheat crop
of the winter killed, but that this has been
nearly offset by the increased number Of
acres sOwed, and the quantity Of sprng
wheat put IN will, if everything is favor
able, bring the whole production up to that
of ap average crop. One-fOurth of last
years crops sill remains in the farmers
hands. No considerable quantity Of wheat
ground is reported as having been PlOWed.
The amount of corn being put in this year
greatly exceeds that of last year.

AICrItieal Situation.

LONDON, May IA, $50 A. M.-The
Tines Of this morning says there could
hardly be a more critical situation than ex-
listed in Berlin on the arrival Of the EN-
peror Of Russia. The German Government
may be able to declare that hostile move
ment was never officially entertained, but a
few days since, there was serious danger
that warlike cOunsels would prevail. In
spite Of England's attitude Of reserve, we
believe the Government thought it a na-
tional duty in the recent crisis to express
its opinion very decisively in regard to the
maintenance Of peace.

GIOF1fyIng Over the whisky Seizures.
Special to the Cincinnati Commercial
The Secret Service Bureau Of the Treas
ury Department are highly elated at the
success in working up the whisky fraud
case. They have been in bad OdOr for
some time, and, notwithstanding their
stereotyped arrests of cOunterfeiters, they
have felt that The organization was in danger
Of being disbanded as utterly useless. The
recent whisky affair was, therefore, a
Godsend to them. They are too greedy,
however, and have attempted TO magnify
themselves in the matter at Commissioner
Douglass expense, and have been active in
alleging that he knew nothing Of the inves-
tigation while it was in progress. 1t is no
ticeable that come Of those outside the Sc
cret service, who were loudest in complain
ing that Douglass was asleep, retracted to-
day on the proofs before the public, and ac-
knOWledged that they were mistaken.

The latest Cabinet rumOr is, that ex-
Senator Pratt, after acting short time as

siOner.
