O ROSEBUD GARLAND OF GIRLS
BY MRS. JULIA II. @. DoRR.

o rosebud garland of girls
If the whole glad year were May;
II winds sang low in the clustering leaves,
And roses bloomed away;
Ifyyouth were all that there is of life;
II the years brought nothing of care and strife
Not even cloud to the ether blue
1t were easy to sing song for you.
Yet, o my garland of girls
Is there nothing better than May
The golden glow of haryest-time
The rest of the autumn day?
This thought give you all to keep:
Who soweth good seed shall surely reap
The year grows rich as it groweth old.
And life's latest sands are its sands of gold.

kindness of MARTIN CRoNIN, esq, Chief
Engineer of the Fire Department, that we
should acknowledge his valuable services to

Inauguration of the Opera Season at the Ma

Inauguration of the Opera Season at the Ma
tionsl-Almee In LA MaEJolaine."
Last night was indeed gala occasion at the
National Theatre. The temperance of Aimee,
with an entire new company and the first
production here of a new opera were the mag
nets that drew together one of tho largest and
most brilliant audiences that have ever assem-.
bled within the walls of the theatre. Many
members Of the foreign legations occupied
seats, as also the leaders of Washington fash
ionable society.
The reception accorded Mile. Aimee was
most cordial and enthusiastic. The bright
little lady has changed but little since her last
visit to us, and looks as pretty and alluring as
ever. Her voice has gained In power and
quality, and her talents as a comsdenns shone
forth to excellent advantage. Nearly all her
songs were encored, and in the last act she
created q perfect furore by the artistic manner
IN which she rendered the Cuckoo Song" and
the quaint and exceedingly droll manner in
which she sang the celebrated Begging
Song" in imitation of an ordinary charity
street singer. Both of these songs had to be
thrice repeated, the applause lasting for sew
eral minutes. The company supporting Mile.
Aimee is by far the best that has ever ap-
peared here, both as regards acting and sing
Ing.
Chiefly remarkable among those who ap.
peared last night was Mile. Dupsrc, a sprightiy
little drtists, who rendered the character Of
Areline in a superb manner. Although the
part is one Of comparatively slight importance,
Mile. Duparc by her exquisite manners and
artistic singing, raised the part to make 1t
nearly equal that of Nile. Aimee. Mile. Du.
pare has only two songs Of importance TO sing,
and both Of these were enoored. She Is sure TO
become favorite, and dessrvedly 50. or the
male members Of the company first mentioa
should be made Of NJ. Jouard, q baritone with
magnificent voice, which he uses to decided
advantage.
The tenor, NJ. Mollard, has a rather un-
grateful part but showed that he has q power
ful voice, and in operas more suited TO his
powers will undoubtedly make hit Megieres
played the part Of Palameds to perfection, al
though his voice was not quite equal to the
vocal requirements Of the score. Duplan was
excellent as Peierschop. The chorus Is larger
and better drilled than we have ever before
seen II, and showed many more pretter faces
The orchestra was increased to the proportions
of grand opera, and did its work admirably.
On the whole, the performance was most com
plotoly successful ever given here. The opera,
which achieved an instantaneous triumph, =,
will be repeated on Friday evening" the occa-
sion of Mile Amee's benefit.
Tonight Mile. Aimee appears as Rose Nichon,
In Ohenbach's most popular work IA Jolie
Parfumeuse," The part Is universally nc-
knowledged as the best in Aimees repertoire,
and to render 1t the more attractive she intro.

CONNECTED with the trouble, vexation, and

tinctions, we desire to mention the services Of

and Ar RICHARD JONES, our job pressman.

know and appreciate her worth. OF the other
members of the company, much must he said in
praise. All In ALL II Is the best combination
which has visited us since the lamcnted
Tictjons filled the same auditorium. Carleton,
the evor-welcomc baritone, and Mas, the
silvcr-toncd tenor, were old and tried friends,
whilo Miss Bcere and Mr.. Pratt were new
comers, who with acquaintance will no doubt
become favorites. To miss the opportunity Of
listening to this concert troupe is to lose ono
of the most delightful entertainments ever
afforded to Washington concert-go The
last concert of the series will be given by this
troupe this evening at Lincoln Hall. No sde-
quate idea Of the strength, volume, and purity
Of tho voice Of Miss Thursby can be given in a
briof notice. II must be heard in order that
its wealth of sweetness and wonderful control
may be fully appreciated,

THE facility with which Senator THUR
MAN fell into Southern Democratic tactics and
attempted their introduction to tho Senate i'm.
medately he was assured that he could com.
mand the strength to inaugurats them Is ex-
citing much remark. 1t grieves his friends
and amazes his foes. In emulation of HAMP-
TON, GORDON, and LAMAR, he first ignored all
promised guarantees and compacts and en-,
deavorcd to justify himself by a falsiAca-
tion of the Journal Unsustained in this
by his own partisans, notably Senator
BAYARD, he gave 1t up in shame and
disgust. His next move was an attempt
to override the organization of the Senate
in an unprecedented and revolutionary
style by prcjudging . question which had
been referred to one Of the standing commit
tees of the body for report. He would dis
charge the jury without hearing its verdict
Here Is this grave and reverend Senator, whi-
lom the greatest imaginable stickler for all the
forms and ceremonies-ay, even courtcsies of
legislation-nOw aping the true Southern Dem
ocratic tactics of taking the law into his own
hands, ignoring all the forms of organization
and of systematic legislation Immediately he
is satisfied that he has the power. Why do the
Democracy desire to discharge the committees
and cvade their reportsS What have the COM
mittccs of the Senate learned that is so
bad or SO good that the Senator from Ohio
daro not trust the dear people with a sight
of ii before the question to which it relates
is determined? 1t seems to us that this con.
duct on tho part of Senator THURMAN savors
very much of a determination to seize the con-
troll of the Senate try Irregular proceed gs and
to hold such control "by fair means or foul"
This is what is variously known in the South
as the shotgun policy" and the white
line" and rifle club" tactics; but the motto
is always the same, "the game must be ours
by fair means or foul" 1t is with much re.
grot, indeed with the greatest reluctance, that
We write thus of Senator THURMAN, for we
had learned to respect him as an opponent
who desired and intended to be
fair and just in his treatment
of public questions In this way he could
preserve his self-respect and command the re-
spect of others. But we are compelled, in the
light Of occurrences of the past few days, to
conclude that the senior Senator from Ohio
has taken the alarm lest his junior should out
bid him for the Southern Democratic support,
and has hastened along with the renegades Coz
OVER and PATTERSON to adopt the tactics of
the Southern modern Democracy, intimidation
and terrorism, and to train under tho motto (:
Power must be ours by fair means or foul"
The fall is great one for the senior Senator
from Ohio, and we are greatly mistaken il he
does not soon find his very sad case of that
"vnulting ambition which ovcrleaps ITSELF"
