BOSTON LETTER.
international Press Bureaus letter.
BOSTON, June Is, 1871

Now is the summer of our discon-l
tent, or in other words, we are under.
going q siege of very severe weather,
and the rule is open cars, soda water
and opera bouffe, and [ may add shirt
sleeves, for they are much resorted to.
However, we Of New England, and es-
pecially of Boston, are we'll accustomed
to the freaks Of the "Weatherclerk,"
and none of us would marvel if the
temperature twenty-four hours hence
were to be that of November; conse-
quently most Of us carry a carpet-bag
with a change Of clothing, even It we
are going out to the post Office.
Notwithstanding the heat the sue
cess Of Mrs. Alice Oates and her well
balanced troupe is most pronounced,
and the museum resounds each evening
with The hearty applause Of a numer-
GUS audience. The princess Of Trebi-
zonde" has held the stage all the week,
and has well deserved the popularity
it has acquired.
The bright little lady who heads the
troupe, however, is not the principal
feature Of this opera; although she
performs her part with true vivacity
and due modesty and grace, she is
rather eXcelled by Mile R0seau, whose
singing and acting pleases both the eye
and the ear. The gentlemen also are
particularly successful, Mr.. John How
son and MI. Chas. RI. Drew taking the
lead. Next week this company will
doubtless play to even greater houses
than they have the present one, as the
Museum will be the only place of
amusement open in the city. Mile
Aimee, at the Boston Theatre, has been
doing good work, but has not been re-
Warded by very large patronage, but it
must be remembered thaC what would
make good sized audience in an ordi-
nary theatre makes but little show at
the Boston. 81.
The rowing was exciting and inter-
esting, and all the mishaps Of the day
were the upsetting of boat-full of
small boys-who, by the way, were
pickedup-and the running over Of one
| man who had the misfortune to slip
under the cars on the way home. I
cannot but wonder that so many PEG
lple will make themselves uncomfofta-
| BILE by sWeltering-excuse the express
| sion-o to these baseball and rowing
matches, when all they care for is the
result, which can be read the next day
in the paper,- but of course the minute
particulars are of the greatest interest
to any patriotic individual who main
tains lively interest in "Our Nation
al Came" and then this dear. dear
public, they crave excitement and so
Of course they must have it.

principal feature was an address by
Mr.. Nathan Appleton, who dwelt elab-
orately upon the tedious points of his
subject, and the history connected with
it, and who, we trust, will look upon
the effort as his last grand finale. Mrs
