Miss Kellogg has organized is so good that
it is to be regretted that che operas are not
better mounted. The scenery at the
Academy of Music was beautiful years ago,
but the equipments of the stage, unlike
wine and wisdom, do not improve with age.
Strange things have been seen upon its
stage. marvellous o. the snow in June or
roses in December--lakes of Como in Afri-
can deserts and Grecian ruins in modern
cities. Wagner would not like to see
his operas produced under such conditions,
aud, while we do not expect the scenic per-
lection Of his theatre ut Baireuth, we desire
less anachronism and more consistency.
Music, however, paints pictures OF its OWL
like rainbows in the air, and we are for
tunate in having the works of Gounod,
Auber Flotow, Meyerbeer and Wagner SO
charmingly presented.

Comus and his rout and their fevelry in
the woods by night were not more mirthful
than King Carnival has been Of late years
in the gay city of New Orleans Our de-
scription to-day of his annual festival will
be read with more interest from the fact
that his Royal Nibs will soon appear in our
own streets with his motley court. Mardi
Gras, heard of SO often, will at last be seen
in the metropolis Our amiable con-
temporary the Evening Telegram (price
two cents, and delivered by careful carriers
to all parts of the city, deserves the honor
of introducing His Majesty to New York 1t
has urged for a long time the value to the
business community of great carnival, in
which not only our German, French, Span
ish and Italian citizens will take part, but
in which native Americans may escape from
their Puritanic habits. Colonel ST. Martins,
one of the ablest and most devoted members
of the court, has appreciated the Importance
of the Telegrums suggestion and, with
the aid of the merchants Of the
city, is now organizing a carnival
which, it is believed, will equal in gayety
and splendor even the festivities of New
Orleans. We have not holidays enough.
The Americans are a hard-working people,
who have had to conquer the forest and
establish on savage ground a civilization
of their own. During the period of work
they found no time to play, but now we
need more red letter days in the calendar
of the year. On Easter Monday, when King
Carnival lands at the Battery, we trust he
will be received by hundreds Of thousands
of his new subjects, and that from morn
till noon, from noon till dewy eve the city
will be surrendered to innocent mirth and
useful recreation.

English Opera in New York.

1t is probable that the hard times and the
anxiety caused by the political situation
have had something to do with the more
than usual interest our public has taken in
music this winter. Music is always con-
solcr. When Saul was troubled in spirit he
called for the harp of David, and when
Hamlet had proved the guilt OF Claudius
Kellogg English Opera Company came to us
at period of depression, yet it has never

sum of two hundred dollars each, a larger
sum being demanded from one of the gang
for the comparatively trifing offence of

our assertion of last week. that if bullets
and Bibles can reform the heather, they
should straightway be hurried into New
Jersey. If this outrage had occurred in the
South half the politicians and philanthro-
pists in the country would be almost frantic
over it. Reformation, like charity, should
begin at home, and self-appointed custodi-
ans of the public morality will find the
Neshanic Mountains an equally appropriate
and for more convenient field of labor than
the Southern wilds toward which they have
heretofore cast longing eyes.

Post Office Tenn ptntions.

If Mr.. Abram S. Hewitt had been a politi-
cal friend of the New York Postmaster
there might be a suspicion that the indis-
Greet charge he brought against the New
York Post Office had been artfully designed
to draw out the story of its admirable man
agement. The committee charged with the
investigation of the letter opening canard
reported yesterday, and the report pays as
high and probably as well merited tribute
to Mr. James efficiency as was ever awarded
by Congress to any public officer. Some
singular facts in relation to the carelessness
of individuals in sending valuable pack
ages through the mails came out in the
course Of the inquiry. Letters containing
large amounts Of money are often prepared
for transmission more carelessly than ordi-
nary letters, and it is remarkable that
bankers are frequently the most remiss.
Two packages Of bank bills containing over
one hundred and fifty thousand dollars sent
from California to New York bank were
received in the New York office with the
seals broken and the single thickness of
brown paper in which they were enclosed
SO worn in the passage through the mails
that the bills were exposed. This careless
ness is really reprehensible, since it holds
out temptations and causes risks that should
be avoided. The facts, however, serve to

The WEArIIER.-The depression which moved
over the lake region on Friday passed of the
coast of Nova Scotia yesterday, causing light
vnow in the Northeastern districts and cloudincss
over the eastern lake region and the northern
part of the New England States. The highest
pressure is in the Lower Mississippi Valley
where clear and partly coudy weather
prevails. A depression is moving southeastward
over Dakota, with partial cloudiness in that
region. With the above exceptions clear weather
prevails westward of the Alleghanies. The
teuinerature has risen decidedly in the Mis-
sissippi Valley and Western country that we
may look for break up OF the ice and
beavr frushets in the Missouri and the
NJ fEui rivers. Such an occurrence
1onld now he attended with danger, because
~ Lower Mississippi is steadily rising. The
t)hjo. however, continues falling very rapidly,
and a fall OF the Cumberland River OF six feet
eight inches within the last twcnty-four hours is
recorded vt Nashville, Tenn. The weather in
New York to-day will be colder and clear or
oagtiv cloudy. followed, perhaps, by rise Of

less than two million people OF the Spanish
race and upward of seven millions of the
descendants of the people the Spaniards
found in the country. And these hardy,
capable, vigorous, but over patient seven
millions labor on stolidly and permit hand
full of bombastic, vain, pugnacious Spaniards
living on them like parasites, to tear the
country to pieces in their battles with one
another. But perhaps the most notable
Characteristic of politics in Mexico is the
extremity to which the people indulge
themselves in what our British forefathers
called "the right of resistance" Every
other man feels ready at any moment to
resist on his own account, and without any
great hesitation will issue pronuncia-
mento, appoint o ministry and call out
troops. The troops do not always come;
but they do come in so many cases
that the difficulty is not simply one
of divided authority, but of authority in
finitely divided. In the present crisis the
division is marvellously simple; but this is
great exception, and probably will not
continue. Diaz dominancy will give place
to disputes and half dozen or dozen of
those who have now saved their lives by
silence will presently pronounce in as many
States. In the United States there have
been twenty-five Presidential SUGGESTIONS in
eighty-nine years, the only extraordinary
changes being in consequence of the
death of the occupant, of which. however,
one was due to assassination. In Mexico
there have been forty-eight Presidential sue
cessions in fifty years, making the average
