Reports from the stricken cities of the
South do not show any abatement Of the
yellow fever. At the same time it has made
no extraordinary inroads into healthy
localities since the last report New
Orleans had yesterday one hundred
and seven new cases, with forty
deaths. In that city 1t Is believed
that the death rate Of patients is not more
than twenty-five per cent, although one in.
quirer, who based his calculations on the
official reports OF cases to the authorities,
puts the figure up to thirty-six per cent.
For reasons stated in the dispatches this
is believed to be excessive. The
exodus continues from Memphis, and the
fleeing citizens exceptionally carry the seeds Of
the fever with them, the disease developing In
their systems by the time they have reached
cities not infected. One such case has
occurred in Chattanooga and another in St

How often we'll nigh forgotten names

tell us that their owners were alive till yes

Niblo-"Billy Niblo lis the latest dead to
the men much known to the public of
generation since, who had outlived, not his
fame, perhaps, but certainly the remem-
brance of the public generally that such
person was in existence. Only few
days since occurred the death Of
another forgotten man in whose obit.
uary was revived the history of some
fierce phases of city life that passed when
the generation of men now active in the
world were in the infant schools. How
many of the men famous in strange phases
of city life are lingering on-hidden from
the public attention by the discreet veil OF
domestic life--only to be remembered and
to be famous for a day or two again when
they reach the last event of life? Niblo's
is a name that, unlike many others Of these.
strange revivals, will stir only pleasant
thoughts for those to whom it recalls the
past they remember. His conflicts, at least,
were fair ones. His efforts were to please
and to turn an honest penny thereby.
and he succeeded happily in both. Even
in the money making schemes of the city.
as they fourished some years-ago, there was
q character that did not offend good taste.
There was less grab in them, less of the
ravenous, hungry, heartless spirit that pre-
ceeds as if it wanted to get all the money
in the world under one hat in half an hour.
Everybody thought the world would keep
on for while yet, and in that confidence
went forward with an easier gait than
the worrying rush Of to-day. Perhaps the
pleasantest remembrance that the existing
generation has of the theatrical enter
tainments of its youth was supplied
by Niblo in the ever-recurring seasons OF
those great pantomimists, the Ravels. They
are the classic names of our history in that
classic entertain ment and cherished by
wider public than cares for the tragic tri-
un phs of Forrest or even the merry glories
of the Placdes. Niblo's Garden has long
ceased to know much Of Niblo, but gener-
alton Of New Workers will always keep a
green place in their memories for that home
of delights in the days when it really was q
garden and was Niblo's. 1t was understood
some years ago that Mr.. Niblo's pictures
were some day to be added to Mr.. A. i.
Stewards for the formation Of gallery to
be given to the city when they should all
be brought together in the marble palace
in Thirty fourth street. Perhaps oil OF that
pleasant report was mythical, but we shall
soon know.

Our Filthy Streets.

On another page we this morning give
the Street Cleaning Commission some in
formation which, judging by the neglect by
that body of everything it should attend TO-
will be entirely new to it. In the face Of
this information, and Of the fact that the
appropriation for street cleaning amounts
to nearly sixty thousand dollars per month,
or abou. two hundred and fifty dollars for
every mile Of paved streets, the indignant
residents and business men of the wards
south Of Chatham square will wonder who
has pocketed tho money. 1t will be utterly
useless for the commission to try
to persuade people that the money has
been honestly applied to the purpose for
which it was appropriated. If everybody
was politician, with the politicians inbred
imbecility concerning the power of money
honestly used, such q story might gain
some credence but in tho district exam.

of business men, i'll of whom know the mul.

ing where subtraction and division have
been put to use. The commission cannot
claim that it has anticipated the monthly
proportion OF outlay, for the use Of the
money is restricted by law to one-twelftf
of the annual appropriation for each month

as the model roadways Of Paris the streets

declaration of its views.
We have no doubt that the supporters OF
Mr.. Conkling will call o convention. IL
will be composed of the most infiammaoie
materials that ever assembled in that cspa-
city. Mr.. Conkling will probably have
majority of this body. but the administra-
ton will be represented by determined and
courageous delegates. The Convention Will
be political finder box, with no lack OF
flint and steel to elicit sparks and set 1t on
fire. How can such body avoid express
ing itself on pending questions! What
will Mr.. Conkling wish it to say on the
Potter investigation? What will Mr.. Curtis
who will doubtless be member. wish it to
say on the policy of the administration and
the Custom House removals? These things
are too prominent to be ignored, and they
cannot be discussed in the Convention
without intense excitement and extreme
exasperation. Mr.. Conkling cannot leave
his defence in any weaker hands than
his own. It is a necessity of his posi-
ton that he should be member
of the Convention and stand up to
parry the blows of his advorsaries
He has q wonderful capacity for saying
things that rankle, as he showed last year in
his speech in reply to Mr.. Curtis If he
should be equally unsparing in the Conven-
ton of this year it will not be difficult for
him to exasperate the champions of the
administration to the boiling pOint. and
even to the boiling point. But a bolt would
be fatal. 1t will require all Mr.. Conkling's
skill to navigate the troubled waters OF
such q convention. He will need to exer-
else difficult command over his temper
and his tongue, and to practise degree
of self restraint of which he has hereto
fore given no example. The utmost tact
and management will be requisite to save
the party from split which would blight
all his prospects. He cannot be unaware
that the administration would prefer a
democratic Senator to his own reelection,
and that he has deeper stake than his ad-
versaries in preserving the unity OF the
party. An exasperating triumph like that
which he won in the Convention of last
year would imperil his election by making
it doubtful whether all the republicans OF
the Legislature would be bound by the
Senatorial caucus. Further developments
will be watched with lively interest.

Our Dramatic PrOspects-Wallsck 's.
A glance around the dramatic profession
in New York just now reveals an attitude
of hopeful anticipation on tho part Of
managers and actors. The Union Square
Theatre has opened its preliminary
season with an honest endeavor to teach
us the value of goodness through an
eighteenth century story of English life !;
but it promises us that we shall anon have
som ething stronger, albeit not so sweet and
rustic For tho rest We are waiting. To lift
a corner of the curtain little bit we have
been at pains to find out what Mr.. Wallack
will give us aud how he will give it. Glad
as we should have been to record
that sterling artists own utterances
on the matter We may accept with
equal pleasure what Mr. Boucicault has
to say elsewhere IN Mr.. Wallack's behalf
Ever pungcnt, the veteran author and actor
breaks through the limited subject Of the
inquiry and gives managers, actors and
critics the dressing down they deserve in
this degenerate age. The average manager
cannot gauge the merit of work because his
standard of judgment is simply the physical
one of whether play has "drawn" in
London or Paris. The actor looks at his
| part from the outside instead of from the
inside, and that sad dog, the critic, is too
| intent on writing brilliantly to write UNDER
standingly. "Is there no virtue extant ?"
we cry with Falstaff But there is. 1t shall
be taught us, and that from the NOV
ing story Of ''Clarissa Harlowe," with
which Richardson set the English dam
sells and danes, from the village to
the court, weeping century and
q quarter since, which sent Rousseau and
Diderot into ecstasies, and which our gen.
eration has sadly neglected because it
seemed prolix and tiresome by the side OF
Thackeray and Dickens, Alexandra Dumas
and Victor Hugo. 1t has been abridged for
the sake of the modern reader, but still IL

cally Lovelace it has given q type OF
elegant profigacy which survives in
French and English literature. We have
seen what Mr.. Wills did with the materials
Of The sVicar of Wakefield" in his 'Olivia !;
but We fancy that curiosity will be more
kecnly whetted to know how Mr.. Boucicaull
will treat the older, simpler, yet after all
more logical story Of the deluded but low
ing Clarissa- II is the sad story of trust

Mr.. HEwITT's COMMITTEE in its search for
useful information on the labor question Jared
~ badly yesterday with its invited witnesses as
with the voluntary ones who appeared before
It week ago. Three or four gentlemen all the
way from Boston presented Themselves to give
their views, which bore the regular Boston
stamp. Ono of them maintained that the en-
ployment statistics of his own State are all
wrong and that the only way to put all the
people to work is to limit the hours OF labor I;
another wanted to tax all the bonds which are
held in trust by the savings banks, and another
to tax tea and coffee. 1t would seem to be in
order for the worliugnan to pray to be saved
from his protested friends.

We reprint from the English papers
few extracts about Mr.. Mapleson and the
artists with whom he will revive the most
brilliant days Of Italian opera in New York.
Mr.. Mapleson has succeeded, in spite Of
determined opposition, in engaging the
most splendid singers of the London season,
including such artists as Gerster, Hauck,
Salla, Valera, Campanini, Bauermeister,
Tremelli, Del Puente, Galassi, Foil and the
best Of the chorus of Her M~jesty's Theatre.
AS we have already announced, the operas
to be given will comprise the works of the
best composers, and it is safe to say that the
record of past seasons will be completely
eclipsed, both as regards the merit and the
number of the artists engaged. Mile.
the London Week, has been the favorite
and pet of the London season. When o
prima donna is SCALED, recalled, cheered,
applauded and finally wreathed with lau-
rel' by conservative London audience
she may be considered to have passed al
most the severest possible test OF her pow
ers, not only with success, but in triumph.
We congratulate the directors Of the Acad-
envy Of Music upon their enterprise and its
results We also see good reason to con-
graduate Mr.. Mapleson and his troupe Of
artists Both the directors and the stock
holders of the Academy have shown unusual
liberality in their arrangements, and, with
the assurance which Mr. Mapleson has Of
their united support and cooperation, he
may count upon complete financial as
we'll as artistic success. The Academy of
Music is the only legitimate home of opera
in this city. II has never before been so
literally thrown open for the encouragement
of high art and it has no rival worthy the
title or in any way able to compete with it.
The names of the gentlemen composing its
direction and management are sufficient
warrant of the genuineness Of it's offers and
the certainly with which its promises will be
redeemed. We warn foreign artists who may
be tempted by the large offers of less re-
sponsible managers that they will find
themselves trusting too confdingly to the
visionary hopes of spectators and that they
are liable to be put in the awkward position
Of starring" singers without certainty OF
| the fulflment Of their contracts and with q
fair prospect of losing caste in their profes-
sion by the irregularity Of such engage
ments. Mr.. Mapleson has the assured sup.
port of the only legitimate operate manage
ment in New York, and with an apprecia-
tive public and no rivalry his season is sure
| of brilliant success.
