nora Palmieri who played tho part Of Leonora, con-

voice Is no longer in It's PRIME but sho knows how TO

satisfaction as Azucena acting tho part, but her
voice rather sounds harsh on her upper
notes. by the by, we win just mention that by no
effort OF the imagination arrive at tho concu
SION that Ulrica, In sUn Ballo," and Azucena, IN
'Irovatore," are twin sisters and had TO share tho

al Luna though energetic singer, uses the trcmolo
too much to DO pleasant one. In the well known

THE TWEED ROMANCE.

THE RECENT STORY OF THE BOSS ESCAPE AND
FLIGHT DIscREDITED-A THEORY WROUGHT
OUT OF HIS DIARY AND PAPERS,
[BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD
WASHINGTON, April Q, 1877.
Tho illustrated adventures OF William NJ. Tweed,
published In Hapcr's Weekly tho other day. aro Is
hero believed, inaccurate, and persons who think
they know the true story that tho Mcssrs Harper
wcro vctimzed, and that tho tao they published is
probably intended put the public ana the police or
and prevent the discovery OF those who
helped Tweed to escape.
rwKED's DIARY AND PAPERR
1t will be remembered that Twced's diary and other
papers given up by tho Spanish authorities tho
captain OF the ship which brought him home. He OF
course, sent them to tho Navy Department Tho
papers were all examined hore in Washington, and
they led to a theory that Tweed In Florida
hunter refugee lighthouse, as the Illus
pretend aud previous rumors re-
ported; that he really sailed for Cuba from some
Northern port; that no was expected by friends in
Cuba, ana that his escape and concealment were
ranged and managed In manner very different from
that related In the article.
THE THEORY ESCAPE
It is thought here that there such organized
band to take charge of him Is described In the ac-
count, but that the escape the concenment and the
departure LOT Cuua were all managed Dy Two or three
discreet friends Of Tweed, who did trouble them
s,vcs TO take him fur away, but rather kept hun from
the FIRST in carefully prepared hiding place and
amused themselves with the numerous false trails on
which the police of. 1t Is believed that Tweed
sailed from some Northern port in snip bound to the
Brazils Demarara which landed him ncar Santiago
on tho rocks, by previous agreement, and then
sailed to her port and doubt is felt that his
arrival expected by persons OF conscq
and authority In Cuba who had engaged to care for
him, and who did give the government somo trouble
