Russia for twenty-scv days. II was OF double

Around his neck was slung flask Of brandy.
Blowing up his suit for q minute before he
launched himself and for minute aiterward
he called for his little standard Of Stars and
Stripes. and stuck II In n socket In his heel.
Then striking his double-bladed paddle In the
water he. said: Good-by,. boys" and struck

q few OF the Captains friends followed him.
Opposite Fulton Ferry were five huge boats.
and tho Captain tossed on the waves, but
no padded along steadily In the centre Of the
channel. pausing now and then 10 dip his flag
IN response 70 whistles. The steamboat Har.
lem passed him and the passengers cheored
him with hats in hand. Capt, Boyton grabbed
bead while no stood upright in the water. Then

He had kept in midsircam but there the cur
rent carried him very near the Williamsburgh

When opposite the west centre a boat fhot out

exacting official.
Returning to the water, he landed ut Hunter 5

and the Captain stuck the tail OF IL In the water
while he lighted the fuse with his cigar. II rose
and exploded and attracted a throng 81 sight

IMUSElfENIS.
Arthur suIlI,an,. comic Opera.

or Arthur Sullivan's nautical comic opera,
/" Her MaIcsty's shin PinAfore." brought out
last evening at the Standard Theatre. we have
barely time at present to note tho fact that il
was papabe success. and that II bids fair 10
attain that same measure Of popularity here
that has attended it in London where it has
run SO many nights, and in Boston.
1t is altogether a capital work. both in It's text,
which Is Humorous and witty in the finest
sense. and not mere ridiculous extravaganza,
and in its music, which is no paraphrase from
French sources, but honest original work, COM
ing from n mastery hand.
Sullivan has succeeded well in all tho drcc-
tions in which he has exercised his talent. from
oratorio to comic opera. and not less in the
latter than In tho former. The play is tastefully
though n feeble orchestra. and the characters
are sustained 10y good singers ana motors. II
thcre is to bee discrimination in praise, which
fairly belongs TO all, II should hc made
in favor Of Mr.. Thomas Whiifen who has "A fine
mastery OF tho subtle art OF hurlesquo. and
makes his points with quiet finish and humor
that are irrce istlble. Mr.. Davdgc gives. also an
bling mHn-of- wars man, and the three ladies,
Miss Mills Miss Gallon. and Mile. Jarbcgu, are
each deserving OF hearty praise.
Though tho color Of the piece Is English, its
hits and illusions English. and its satire on tina
FirstL ord of the Admiralty best appreciated in
that country, il. nevertheless will take hero al
most as well. and prove n thousand times better
that lose all their flavor in the process OF trans
formation.
