DE- MUESkA LAST NIGHT.

The Opera House last evening, on the occa-
sion of Mile. De Murska last appearance
there in opera, reminded one much of those
brilliant houses, which, before the war, was
wont to be gathered to listen to the silvery-
throated prima donnas of the past. The
beauty and fashion of the city were present.
rich in the exquisiteness Of their toilettes. and
looking like one partere Of choicest flowers.
The first part of the bill offered was the
second and fourth acts of 'Robert lie Diable, :"
in which De Murska took the difficult role Of
Isabella. She seemed in the happiest Of her
moods, and electrified the audience with her
wonderful command over the severe require
ments Of the part. As softly as the echoes Of
the fantest zephyr her voice breathed out the
melodious score of Isabella in a most touching
manner, and then rising to the passion of the
character she led her hearers off into storm
Of wild and tumultuous music.
After this she appeared as the Queen of
Night in the ''Magic Flute" and sang with
wonderful power the grand aria.
She closed with Dinorah, in pardon de
Pleormel. The SHADOW Song was, as it has
always been considered, a difficult task for
the execution required changes so rapidly
and the expression is SO varied, few success
fully accomplish it. De Murska, by her art,
did all that seemed possible, and encore after
encore responded to her enhancing music at
every pause. Signor Braga, on the ceLo wa,

THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM FOR
1876.
From the New York Sun. |


The Republican party as represented by an
enormous majority in both houses of the
Forty-third Congress, and illustrated in the
acts OF Its last session, points with pride to
its past record, and rejoices in the following
declaration of its present principles:
/. Third term now, and Presidency for life
hereafter.
ii. Government by the bayonet, suspension
of habeas corpus at discretion, and drumhead
courts martial, are the true elements of polit-
ical strength.
III. Specie payments in 1879 without coin
~. Civil rights mean the white man has
no rights which the black man is bound to
respect
V. More taxes, more debt and moro ex-
penditures the true road to permanent pros
perity.
vi. Subsidies, special tariffs, Credit Mobi-
ier, Texan-Pacifc, blck-pay grabs, railroad
grants, and all sorts of monopolies blaze the
pathway of Republican legislation.
VII Nepotism is obedience to scriptural
authority, and a blessing to the reigning
family.
VIII Negro supremacy in the South to ad-
vance Christian civilization.
TX. Opposition legi ,latures ought to be sup
pressed by Federal troops as dangerous to
Grantism.
X. Returning boards are more potent than
elections, and should be appointed by the
President
II. The people have no right to complain

XII. large standing army and powerful
appropriations for the navy indispensable

officers seeking commands.
Kill Opponents OF the third term critics
of the President, champions of the Constitu-
ton, economists, and the toiling masses who
grumbe because they are poor must be-
classed as banditti, and punished accordingly.
XIV. Centralized government is national
strength, and State Governments should be
abolished excep. as dependencies.
XIV. Present salaries insufficient to main
tain the dignity of office, and ought to be
doubled Immediately, with back pay at the
pleasure of the Off cial5.
NVl Carpet-baggers and officehoders are
abused patriots who have suffered for their
country, and merit its grateful recognition.
XVII. Investig ttiono by Congress intended
to expose corruption and jobbery, and to
damage the Republican party, cannot be too
sternly condemned for trenching on private
rights.
XVIII. The President is the recognized
head Of the government, to whom Congress
and the courts owe obedience
XIX. The newspaper press is nuisance.

certain prominent lady ~ was last night
beaten out of some several hundred dollars
worth of diamonds by fond admrer of hers.
The young chap had so insinuated himself
into the lady s affection and confidence that
she thought him guilty Of no wrong. But,
alas for human hopes, when she least ex-
pected it, he discovered where her jewels
were stored away and went for them in her
absence.
The young woman was frantic. Immediately
taking carriage, she told the driver to kill
the horses but that he should catch the thief
and the betrayer of her tondest hopes. On they
drove 10 the Central Police Station, to find a
detective, but none was there Hearing that
special Walsh was at the ST. Charles Theater,

Uncle Billy Objects to Civil Rights.

| 'interviewed" Uncle Billy, a good
colored friend of mine, the other day, on
the question of civil rights.
Don't want muffin no." said Uncle Bill
ly. Got too much already fur dis nig-
gah."
How is that, Uncle Billy2 Is it not
good thing to be equal before the law 2"
Now, Marse Boss,'' grunted Billy,
plaintively, "dar's jist wRar de misery
comes in. We're ekal befo' de law, an
dar yer hit our weak pint. Befo' de law,
ef niggah stole chicken an pig, yer jerked
him up, guy him thirty nine lashes, an
let him go. But jist let culled pusson
an sens him to de penitentiary just like
what It's to be ekal fore de law!'
l suggested to Uncle Billy that this
might be obviated by being little more
honest.
"Marse Boss" interrupted Billy, "we
can't run agin natur. It's nat'ral fur mig
gah to steal pig and chicken, fryin' siz.-
\ er know 1t is, an taint no use trying TO
stop us. Now, we uns are willin' to let
you uns alone, and you all jist let US alone
on this pint. We're powerful weak on
dis pint. Marse Boss"
Just here preverse and disloyal spirit
tempted me to hint to Uncle. Billyffthat
the colored people were indebted to their
Republican friends for this change in their
status.
well, den, Marse Boss" said he, "all
is got to say is, de laws got to be changed.
Mus hab law for de white man and law
for de black man."
Strange as it may seem, some of our best
citizens echo Uncle Billy's sentiment
They are inclined to view the negro's
minor transgressions in a lenient light,
and I know that some of our Democratic
Judges impose lighter penalties upon col
ored men for small offenses than they
would do in cases where the guilty par
ties were white.
Before Uncle Billy left asked him how
he would like to sit down at the table
with white folks at the hotels.
Great Goddlemighty exclaimed the
good old man. Il allow youse tryin' to
make fun O. dis chile. Why, you knows
yourself dat no cullud pusson ebher lets a
white man see 'em eat if dey kin help it,
This is strictly true. The ordinary
Southern negro will not eat in the pres
ence of white spectator.
"Well, Uncle Billy" l said sit is very
evident that you don't want any civil
rights"
Not anything mo-, thank you," re-
piled Billy. Nearly done ruined now

Burn Kerosene the Right Way.

4 correspondent in the New York San
calls attention of all consumers of kerosene
oil to the pernicious and unhealthy prac-
tice Of using lamps filled with that article
with the wicks turned down. The gas
which should he consumed by the flames
is by this means left heavily in the air,
while the cost of the oil thus saved at
present prices would scarce be one dollar
a year for the lamps of household. His
attention was called particularly to this
custom by boarding in the country where
kerosene was the only available light. A
large family of children living in the same
house were taken i'll one night, and on 60
ing to the nursery the mother found the
room nearly sufocating, with a lamp turn
ed down, whereupon the physician forbade
the use Of a lamp at night, unless turned
at full head. He says he could quote many
cases, one of a Young girl subject to fits of
taintness, which ifnot induced, were great
ly increased by sleeping in a room with
the lamp almost turned out. Besides the
damage to health, it spoils the paper and
curtains soils the mirrors and windows,
and gives the whole house an untidy air
and an unwholesome odor.
