I The OPERA SEAsoN--MARIE RozE.-The
sale OF reserved seats for the Kellogg opera
season begins tomorrow at Johnston's, ana
| of course there will be o great rush for, eli
| gible positions. The musical critic OF the
New York Herald refers to Mile. Marie
RoZe and her triumphs in the following
paragraph, which will give our opera-goers
an idea OF what they may expect next
week:
One Of the most signal operatic triumphs
ever achieved in this city was scored last
evening at Booths Theatre by Mile. Roze,
who comes to us from far-away foreign
shores and from the provinces with the
laurels OF fame entwined about her brows.
The opera was "L La Favorita THAT
light, sparkling thing that seems like a
glass OF Marsala held to the light. She sang
Leonora. In the first place Mile. Roze is
handsome. She dresses charmingly and she
sings diyinely. Not by any means with the
trumpet tones Of the Titiens, but with that
exquisite expression which warns the
heart, which stirs the listless audience into
ripples, and waves, and breakers OF ap-
plause, which brings scented shower OF
bouquets to the stage, and which shows that
music is delight as well as study. AS
to her voice, it is soprano with
q uieELo IcuuSHCy, dHu tS stAOusCl III
the central notes than elsewhere. She
knows how to handle it, and, with the
fnesse Of a French woman, never makes a
mistake. It's range is not expansive, but
its quality is fine. The same attribute Of
fneSSe is seen in her acting, which is per-
feet. She deserves no credit for that, for
she was born in Paris. At the close OF the
first act Mile. Roze was rapturously called
before the curtain, and all through the eve
ming she received assurances OF the con-
quest she had made. Although it has oc-
Cured before in such towns-for instance,
as Paris, France; London, Eng; Boston,
Mass. and Philadelphia, Pa.-she seemed
proud and grateful for the tribute Of so
humble metropolis as New York, n. Y.
Like an argoSy with silken sails, she was
waited through the opera by her own ge-
MUS and the breath OF approval, and when
the curtain came down on the third act the
people, the management, and the star were
satisfied.

The Tobacco Tax In Germany.

Ameeting Of delegates, representing fifty
| two commercial corporations, the different
chambers of commerce and boards OF trade
in Germany, was held at Cassels lately,
when the effects and results of the present
agitation Of the tax problem were discussed.
Resolutions were passed condemning the
monopoly and the English system OF taxa
tion. The monopoly, it was argued, would
deprive the people of one Of the most flour
iShing industries, and paralyZe many
Others which are mainly dependent on
the to5acco-manufaCturing industry. The
English system, with its prObibitiVe fea-
lures, would involve the destruction OF an
important agricultural pursuit-the cultiya-
tion of tobacco on German soil. The con-
vention also protested against the projected
statistical canvass, as the inquiry would
lead to an unprecedented interference with
the personal rights of the men engaged in
the trade. No definite opinion was ex-
pressed as to the American system of
raising the tax, although the convention
considers that tax at such high rate as is
raised on tobacco in the United States is mad.
missible. The convention nrrcc..rsrs against
any increase et the tax OH tobacco so long
Is no reformed system OF taxation equally
affecting al! branches OF industry is adopted,
because there is no reason why the tobacco
manuf...cc ..cc.uring industry alone, more Than
any others, should be resorted to as source
to supply the finances OF the German EN-
pire. A committee to watch the 1urtnef
progress OF this question was formed, ana
composed OF the representatives or the
Chambers Of Commerce OF Berlin, Bremen,
Cassels, Bingen, Dresden, Hamburg, Frank
fort, Hanau, Giessen, Heidelberg, Mlnden,
Mannheim, Magdeburg, Ofenbach, and
Nuremberg.
THE STATISTICAL CANVASS.
The bill introduced in the German Far
lament providing for statistical canvass
has been yariously amended. The inquiry
would involve an inspection OF all the DOCKS
kept by businessmen in cases Where u Is
suspected that incorrect information IS
given. It is this that renders the measure
particularly obnoxious, and there IS stronS
opposition to it in the Reichstag. There
will no doubt be close contest ID tne
House, yet Prince Bismarck adheres to the
projected monopoly, and expects to OBTAIN
| q majority for the measure.
AN OLD GERMAN PHILOSOPHERS VIEWS.
Leibnitz, one of the greatest German phi
| losophers Of the past century, once express.
| ed an opinion when Frederick the Great
] first introduced the tobacco monopoly IN
his dominion. The words Of Leibnitz on
this subject are as applicable nowadays as
then. He wrote: The statesmen only look
| to the tobacco. They do not consider the
recreation 1t gives to the workmen after o
DAYS work and toll, when they are taking
their rest among their families, preparir.
for their nights sleep. They do not con
slider the pleasure and enjoyment Wnich tht
mouldering weed affords. o., no! non,
OF them ever pause to thiGz OF this Leav'
to the poor whatever enioyments they hay'
| rot, We who are in the enjoyment OF all tht
pleasures life affords From the Tobacco

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS OFFICE,
RICHMOND. May 3, 1873.
| General Joseph T.. Johnston:
Genera|,-On the 22d day OF February
last the Louisiana division of the Army
OF Northern Virginia had celebration in
the city Of New Orleans. I enclose one
| OF the programmes.
Mr.. +. D. johnson, of Culpeper, was
present by invitation, aud participated
| During the happy, Joyous hours of the
| re Onion your name and distinguished con-
nection with the Army of Northern Vir-
ginia were remembered and cheered with
enthusiastic admiration. The gentlemen
| then present felt that one so honorably con-
nected with the glorious Army OF Northern
| Virginia, and with the heroic struggle of
the South for political equality and inde-
| pendence, should have some testimonial
Though slight OF their admiration and
afiectionate remembrance.
On motion OF Mr.. Louis Power, Of the
Executive Committee, it was unanimously
resolved that bottle Of the champagne
used on that joyous occasion should be sent
to you, and thus connect you directly with
their patriotic feast.
Mr.. +. D. johnson, their then guest and
former comrade, was made the happy bearer
of it. He took especial care OF it, not be-
cause OF its value, but because of its sig
nifcance. Circumstances have prevented
him from making personal delivery.
/ being in Culpeper on Monday last, Mr.
Johnson delivered the champagne to me,
with the request that it., should be safely
conveyed to you. This duty ! now dis
charge with great pleasure.
Will you, General, in the names Of the
brave and noble men who present, re-
ceiye it?
Would that as you quaff its sparkling
drops it could prove the elixir OF life, SO
that your youth would be renewed and
your life long protracted as an impersona-
tion Of the glorious struggle in which the
Army OF Northern Virginia bore so con-
spicuous a part, and enable you to cherish
for many years to come kind recollection
OF the men who nobly fought, and many
heroically died, for the right.
I have the honor to be, General, your
most obedlent servant,
JAMES G. FIELD.
RICHMOND, May s, 1873.
Hon. James q. Field: ="
Dear Sir,-I have Just received your letter
of this date with the bottle OF champagne
from the Louisiana division OF the Army OF
Northern Virginia that accompanied it,
One Of the greatest pleasures OF my life
is to find myself held in friendly recollec-
ton by my former military associates. So
you can well understand how much am
gratiied and pleased by the cordial remem-
brance of me on such an occasion by the
Louisiana division of the Army Of North
ern Virginia. I shall remember it always
with high pleasure and pride.
/ assure you, sir, that the qualification
this occurrence gives me is greatly increased
by the very agreeable manner in which you
have communicated it; on account OF which
l shall preserve your letter always.
l have the honor to be, very truly yours,
