ADJUSTMENTS.
ITALIAN OPERA FAUST.


Gounod's favorte opera given for the third
time this season. but with last night, Sgnor
Del Puente singing Mephistophecs for the first time
here and Senor Gaassi Valentine. The efforts Of both
baritonos We're highly successful, and the emulation,
friendly, but evident enough, existing between these
artists added keener zest to their performances
Signor Del Puente's Mephistopheles is dramatically
modelled after the original in that role in America
signor Biachi. The performance unquestionably
the most artistic the baritone has given here His
Escamilio i'll Carmen" is much liked, but the
part sings and acts itself with a good
voice and figure behind il. In Mephistophees
the difficulties immeasurably greater. but
the artist easily vanquished all of any importance
Valentine is not long part, but it more than
dinarily significant in Sgnor Galassi's hands. Miss
Hauk was i'll perfect voice. and. at her second ap-
pearance in the role, gave remarkably natural and
impressive Interpretation of Margherita. Mme
Pisani in better voice. too, than before. Her
singing OF the "Qlanto o lieto' never rendered cx
cept by her in this opera here, OF the gems of
the performances. Sgnor Campanni again charmed
his hearers in Faust and his principal solo received
hearty encore. He in nsing his voice unspaf
ingly. He win regret 1t some day.

might do graceful act now by joining Her Majestys
forces and the Canadian people in welcoming to Hall

opportunity is afforded for the Americans to dis
play their good will to Canada and the mother

naval display to be made by the British feet the
occasion Of the arrival Of the Marquis Of Lone and
the Princess Louise. What could be more proper
than for the United States to send
two vessels of their navy to join in the welcome

honor upon the American flag than refusing to pay

THE LIVERPOOL PRESS.

The Liverpool newspaper press feels very
jolly over the event. The Post says =
"Nothing can more fitly occupy the time
and abilities and develop the social capabili-
ties of the royal family than in such gov
ernments as those of Canada, Australia and
other colonies where fit representation of
the Crown and a natural leadership in
society is the position offered. 1t is for
the Marquis OF Lorne to act as o mediator
between political leaders, to be watchful
in the supervision of departmental ad-
ministration and to encourage by phil
anthropy and educational efforts employ
ment.
TO SOME USE.
"As Governors it will afford English
princes a natural function, and it is to
be hoped that this may be the beginning
of the practice of employing men,
bers of the royal house as personal
representatives of the Queen in the
colonies. ID is always necessary for
princes and princesses TO keep out of politi-
cal strife. but in fulfilment of their vice.
regal duties they will find opportunities
sufficient for serving the nation by in
augurating firmer establishment of con-
stitutional usages."
FEW LINES.
The Post Courier thinks, "after giving o
survey Of the present condition Of Canada,
that the Dominion 'over which Lorne is
called to reign in the name of his Royal
Mistress Is important, besides giving
promise of future greatness that will reflect
new lustrs on the British Empire" Then

GREENBACKS NDORsED.

At last Congress has got a measure
before Mr.. Hayes to stop John Sher,
mans policy of forced contraction, in re-
firing greenbacks. The Democrats in
both Houses have been working tor this
for we'll on to year, but the Republicans
have managed to defeat and delay them
in the Senate. The bill that went
through the Senate on Tuesday, by a
vote of ayes Al, nays I8. is as follows ::
That from and after the passage Of
this act it shall not be lawful for the Sec.
retary OF the Treasury, or other officer
under him to cancel or retire any more
of the United States legal tender notes :;
and when any of said notes may be res
deemed; or be received into the TreasS
ury, under any law, from any source
whatever, and shall belong to the Uni~
ted States, they shall not be retired, can
celled or destroyed, but they shall be re-
issued and paid out again and kept in
circulation. Provided that nothing
herein shall prohibit the cancellation
and destruction of mutilated notes, and
the issue of other notes of like denomi-
nation in their stead, as now provided
by law. All acts and parts of acts in
conflict herewith are hereby repealed.
1t is to be presumed Mr.. Hayes will
signit, unless Sherman's influence should
be too powerful. Sherman has done a
great deal of mischief by the mulishness
with which he has contracted the curren-
cy of the nation, but after the passage of
this bill his power in that direction will
be so curtailed as to be no longer for
midable. The only thing to be fearedis
that he will find some way of evading
the law after the bill has been signed.
AS people know, he is statesman of
very slippery sort, and is possessed of
quite remarkable ability for getting
himself out Of tight place. An attempt
will, no doubt, be made to persuade Mr.
Hayes to veto the measure, but after his
experience with the Silver bill, Mr..
Hayes will think a great many more
times than twice before he so commits
himself

FORTUNE TELLER's ALMANAC

FORTUNE TELLER'S ALMANAC.
To dream of a mill stone about your
neck is sign of what you may expect if
you marry an extravagant wife.
1t is very lucky to dream you pay for
a thing twice; since, afterward, you will
probably take care to have all your bills
receipted.
For a person in unembarrassed cir
cumstances to dream he is arrested is
very fortunate; for it is warning to him
on no account to accept bill.
To dream of fire is a sign that if you
are wise you will see that all the lights in
your house are out before you go to bed.
To dream your nose is red at the tip is
an intimatiOn that you had better leave
off brandy and water,
To dream of having a great number of
servants is-madness.
To dream of bear betOkens mischief,
which your vision shows you is Bruin.
When fashionable young lady dreams
of a filbert, it is sign that her thoughts
are running upon the colonel.
If you dream of clothes, it is a sure
warning not to go to law; for by the rule
of Contraries, you will be sure of nom
suit.
When a young lady dreams of coffin,
it betokens that she should instantly
discontinue tight stays, and always go
warmly and thiCkly shoG in wet weather.

THE INDIAN TROUBLES.

H. Purdy and Chris. Slender were killed

possession of the field no bodies were

morning
A Boise City dispatch says, the citi-
zens here are raised to a high state of
exultation this p. M, by the receipt of
telegram to the effect that the "Presi
dent" has appointed John P. Hoyt, Gov
ernor of Idaho. 1t is almost the univer-
sal wish that the Senate will act prompt
ly in confirming this appointment, and
that Governor Hoyt will come forward
at once. In an affair near South Noun
tain, Owyhee county, four citizens were
killed, one wounded and one missing,
who is believed to have been killed
RelnforCements were sent forward from
Silver City, and another fight was ex.
,pected to take place to-day, A consider
ahle body of Indians were seeunear Cold
Spring Station, sixty-6ye miles out of
this place, last night.
Ali accounts agree in the statement that
the Indians are continually passing the
stage road and across the Snake River,
between big Camas Prairie and the scene
of the hostile in Owyhee county. Gen
eral Howard is expected here Tuesday.
A column of troops from the West will
probably make their first stand in the
Juniper mountain region, but it is evil
dent that only portion of their fighting
force is there and that they will also re.
main in the Lava Beds until dislodged
or forced to surrender.

Bannocks appearing in the vicinity of
Salmon river, and the people are fleeing

POWER OF THE WAVES.

Those who have never lived on the
stormy coast nor been to sea, can form an
adequate idea of the effect that can be
produced by the impact Of a succession
of waves or of a single wave, What has
happened at Wick, on the extreme nor.
thern coast of Scotland, where a break
water has been building for some years
past, may give an idea of what is meant
by wave.power 1t was found that stones
of ten tons weight were as pebbles to the
waves, which have been measured to be
forty-two feet from crest to the bottom Of
the trough. The outer end Of the break.
water, whore the storms beat most vio-
lent, was built of three courses Of one
hundred ton stones laid on the rubble
foundations; next above these were three
courses of large, fiat stones, and upon
these a mass of concrete built on the
spot of cement and rubble, The end of
the break-water was thought to be inn
movable as the natural rock, yet the res
ident engineer saw it yield to the force of
the waves, and swing around into the
less troubled water inside the peer, 1t
gave away, not into fragments, but in
one mass, as if it was a monOlith. The
displaced mass is estimated to weigh
about 1850 tons.

SUPPOSE,

Suppose it should be shown that Joseph
P. Bradley, having been foisted on the
Supreme Bench by the railroad COM
panies to serve their own purposes, en-
tered into an arrangement with various
interested persons to wreck the Mem
phis, El Paso, and Pacific Railroad,
which was then a solvent concern. sup
pose it should be shown that he assumed
jurisdiction of suits brought for that pur-
pose outside of his district, and by Ger
tain irregular and illegal proceedings
transferred the property of the Memphis
Ell Paso, through the hands OF a ques
tionable receiver, to the Texas Pacific.
Suppose it should be shown that when
Joseph P. Bradley came to give the de
cisive vote in the unconstitutional tIecN
toral commission, he wrote out an elab>
crate opinion in favor OF the Illden cleo
tors in Florida, and that, under severe
pressure from the Texas Pacific obbers,
who had previously used him as above,
he changed the conclusion of that opln'
ion in a single night, and thus consumN
mated the Fraud in the teeth OF his
known convictions.
Suppose these facts to be proved.
what would the country think ofa judg
ment obtained in that way2 We know
tnat the returns from Louisiana and
Florida were false and fabricated. We
know that the men who manipulated
them were conscious knaves, and CONS
mitted the crime with their eyes wide
open. But was the judgment of the
commission itselfcorrupt as well as false ?
In this view of the case, it would appear
that the Judiciary Committee of the
House may have a duty to perform,
little, if any, less important than that of
the Potter Committee.-M Y Sun.
