THE MozART.---A pleasant musicale was
given last evening, and the hall was well
filled. 81. '.#
The solo "Die Hienmath," sung by Mrs.
Euker, with bassoon obligato by MIR.
Krause, was lovely. She also sang Gunod's
"Sing, Smile, Slumber." .....-s ..... .
Professors Thilow and Reinhardt gave a
finished Interpretation OF piano duo, by
Fesca. Their playing was expressive and
beautifully shaded.
Mr. Kessnich's difficult violin solo was
well given.
The. orchestra played four selections.
Their rendition Of Suppe's overture "Morn.

did last evening.

Suffering Poor.

Suffering POOr.
Editors of the Dispatch:
A large class OF our citizens-the humble
and the poor-whose precarious resources
force them to be reliant upon obtaining their
daily supplies of bread from the bakers are
anxiousy awaiting the petition promised
by our bread manufacturers to be made to the
CITY Council for standard weights and fixed
prices of loaves, and necessary action by
that body for the protection OF their inter
ests against the sordid and the unscrupu-
lous.
The bread OF several bakers did some
week or more ago vary from one to two
ounces in weight, and the same state OF
things is believed to exist now. II the
large cities OF the Observation-Disclosures,
New York, Boston, Baltimore, and New
Oreans-arc protected by law, and false
weights and inferior quality OF bread con-
demned by the police and forfeited to charl'
table purposes, it becomes our city father:
to afford similar protection to our poor. Ii
is to be hoped that the prominent baker:
mentioned in your local OF the 1st instan
will prove their consistency and the Counci
its efficiency by speedy action.
