Wages In New York,

The hard times have had Il serious eff
feet on the tradcs-unions of New York
city. Instead Of employers being ut TIE
mercy of these societies, aS was the
case Il few years aSo,the societies them
selves are at the mercy of the times.
Work is so scarce that thousands OF
members Of unions have been forced to
forfeit their membership by non-pay-
meut of dues, and to seek employment
where they can get it, and or the best
terms they can make. Many societies
have dwindlcd down to a few members,
and others have been broken up entire
ly. The reduction Of wages since 1870,
in the various trades, is from 10 to 20
per cent, and even at the reduced rates
there is n great lack OF work, and thou
sands of skilled artisans are idle. In
1869 the various tradcs.uniols in the
city had 2i,l2j members, the largest
being the laborers' union, with 1000
members; the cabinet-makers', with
2,lO0; the printers, with 2,15O; and
the tailors', with 2,luO. In 1872,
there were SO organizations embracing
every class of men engaged in occupa-
tons, and having a membership of 72,-
1922; 10Y they do not number over H.
OOO. The wages Of females share the
general reduction. In 1870, burnishers,
printers, lacc-sewers, m~achino.ope-
~rators, hair-dressers and photographers
were paid 50 to ST. a week; now they
receive SO to go. DressmaEors sewing
by the day, have had their pay cut down
from 81 80 to 81 80 a day; shirt-makers
from sc 10 81 II week; upholSterers
from 81 10 So week fur-sewers from
81 to "a a week. Even the wages of
female domestics have been cut down.
In 1874 they demanded and received
$14, GIG and SlS a month; but now the
intelligence Offices are crowded with
applicants for situations who are glad
to get $40 to $l2.

wagner's Musical Triumph Mt
Bnireut1i.

The great Baireuth festival is finished.
The great world-talked-of opera house
has been dedicated and thrown open to
the public, and the mammoth under
taking Of Richard Wagner, the genius
of the musical age, the forerunner of
the music of the future, has now passed
into the hands Of the historians and
critics. 1t is a feeling of relief to know
that the people who have thought of and
awaited the event, have Witnessed its
fulfllment, and can rest in the satisfac-
ton that it was successful, or compla-
Gently admit that it was not, at least, q
failure. The reports came in fclios
from Baireuth, and are colorcd, MS COR
respondents delight in touching these
sign-board notices for careless readers
but the careful musicians have not yet
spoken, and not for several weeks can
artists know of the success or failure of
Wagner's scheme.
At seven O'Clock upon last Sunday
evening eight trumpotors blew fanfare
from the front of the new opera house,
and simultaneously the mistr within
the house commenced ard Her Wug-
ncr's long. dreamea.of hour had arrived.
The house, as the selection from one of
the reports already tclcgraphod said,
presented n splendid appearance.
Wearcrs Of regal crowns and ducal cor
onets were present; in another part Of
the auditory were seated ii'2t and
Gounod and all the leading musicians
OF Germany. The effect of the house
would have been greatly heightened
had Wagner made a sacrifice OF his art
principles and appearance and
permitted the auditory Ia
be lighted. This concession
he did not make, and, that the attcu-
ton of the audience might not be Ill.
yertcd, the reign Of darkness was com.
plcte except upon the stage. The
scenic effects all reports agree in pro.
nouncing superb, aud in TO particular
did there appear ore obstacle TO inter
fere with the easy movement Of al
parts in making Il complete whole,
Herr Wagner has been wontcrful sue
cess in the accessories OF his musical
drama, and all who have watched hi,
progress are ready TO applaud this por'
ton Of the work, rescrSirg a more
sweeping approval untilit is fully deter
