The Opera of Esther at brandon.

Queen" was given at Brandon, Tues
day night. before n good audience. II
was rendered under the direction oil
Mr.. G. II. :. Pierce: was successfully
placed upon the Stage and carried
through to a successful end. The cos
tunes were quite elaborate, the ar
rangcmcnts appropriate and the music
iirst-class. The cantata is very de-
lighiful entertainment for amateur tai.
ent, and in this case il was rendered III
very delightful manner. The solos
were admirably given, and the majority
of the choruscs were equally as well
done. Mr.. Pierce made several limo.
vaiions upon established methods in lis
presentation, and these added materially
10 the general good effect. A a whole,
the opera was given in manner scarce
~ inferior TO its very successful rendi-
ton in Rutland few weeks ago. All
the principal characters did well, and
in selecting few names from the list,
for mention, we do ii more because OF
the prominence of their parts than for
any very noticeable superiority to the
other principal characters in their act
ing. 1t will dctract nothing from the
well earned laurcls of the others if we
say that Mrs. c. II. Bliss, as Queen,
Mrs. G. II. Forbes, as Zcrcsh, Mrs.
Winslow, Miss Lizzie NJ. Weeks, and
Messrs. Engels and Lewis. carried theii
respective parts admirably. The can
taia was presented again al Brandon.

The Cost of EurOpe's Standing Armie,

\ short essay, entitled ''The Question
of Money" has recently appeared in
Paris from the pen of NJ. de Girardin,
in which il is made TO appear that all
existing governments, excepting those
Of England and America, are fast has

is caused mainly by the elaborate ar
mics and fleets which q mutual suspi-
Zion eompels all the powers OF Europe
10 maintain as standing threat TO all

result Is that Europe is ono vast camp,
the soldiers of England, France, Ger
many, Austria, Italy and Russia costing
those governments about $500, 000, 000
annually. England's army of 100000
men costs S53, 256, 1G0: Frances 100000
men, Sll2,9l3,29S; Russia's $4,000
