The great event Of the season will
take place at the Grand Opera House
on next Saturday afternoon and eve
ming, when we shall have the captiva-
ting comic opera Of H. NJ. S. Pipatore
by genuine colorei Opera Company
of sixty-fve first class artists. This
truly brilliant organization must not
be confounded with any kind of bur
lesqne troupe whatever. The ship
scene has been pronounced the most
beautiful and realistic ever yet presen-
ted to the public. The moonlight
view in the second act creates a posi-
tive fever of excitement at each
representation. The silent drill which
has n-ver been seen outside of Phila.
iDlphia is the most artistic and truly
wonderful exhibition ever produced on
any stage. 1t must not be forgotten
that the Artists are all colored people
making this the most extraordinary
performance in the world. The COM
pany will be supported by full and
talented orchestra conducted by the
celebrated leader Mr.. John Britner.--
There will be matinee en- Saturday
afternoon for ladies and children. The
price will be 25 cents for all parts of
the house; no extra charge for reserved

TIE BOARD of Health has turned over
new leaf. Instead Of spending the
hot sweltering nights of summer in
jabbering over some filthy cess pool Or
gutter, the work is entrusted more to
the committees, and the meetings of the
Board are merely to confirm the work
of the committees. If last nights $
meeting of the Board is sample of the
short meetings that are to be held, the
reporters at least will be 6evoutly
thankful, but we would most earnestly
impress upon the minds of the com
mitters the fact that there is danger of
the cholera visiting the city during the
summer, and some cleaning up in time
may abate its rigors if it should happen
to pay Ii visit.

THE DEMOCRATS in Congress seem de-
termined that the work of butting their
brains out against the wall that the
Constitution has erected to check recl.
less legislation shall be complete. They
are already divided in their counsels
and dare not call another caucus for
fear the breach will be made wider and
yet it is a strange paradox, that they
still insist in pushing through the civil
and executive appropriation bill with
its political riders which will most as
suredly meet with the same fate of the
Army appropriation bill and the bill to
prevent, as the Democrats term it, the
use of troops at the polls. Il the Dem
ocrats would act wisely they would
pass the appropriation bills, adjourn
Congress and 60 home or else 60 and
spend the hot sweltering months of
| summer at the seaside or mountain re-
sorts. This would save to them a rem
nant of party around which they
might rally in the future, and unless
they have the basis of party in the
north they can never retain the reins
of government very long at time ever
if the unfortunate time should com.
when they may come into power. Afte1
all it looks as if there was Providence
that overrules their actions and HI
who makes the wrath Of man to prais,
him, has turned the actions of tn
Democratic party to the advantage o
the Republicans.

The Democracy Of New Castle is Won
derfully excited. Never before were
there so many vacant Offices let loose
rolling about at one time as there have
been sine. the death of Mr.. Vandever
on Saturday. The greedy Office seeking
cormorants cannot wait until the de-
ceased is laid quietly away in his grave.
Here is Justice of the Peace, Notary
Public, Trustee of the New Castle
Commons, a Secretary and Treasurer OF
the Gas Company, and Secretary and
Treasurer of the Water Company to be
appointed. 1t is not every day that
five vacant offices are let loose upon the
New Castle people and it is not a mat
ter of surprise that they are excited.
Those who have been for long time
pushed back from the public crib are
now rushing forward even if they should
get nothing but 'nubbin." One
party of Democrats goes around with
their recommendations and has the
thing all "set up,' when another comes
swinging around the circle and knocks
'em all down again. The office of JUS
tice of the Peace, and that of Trustee
of the Commons are the most sought
after, because they are the most lucra-
tive, and then the first lasts five years
and the latter life time. In all prob

Iu,,se Packer. A Model American.


svlvania has lost true typical Ameri-
can. He began life as humble eanal
boatman, and when he died he Was not
only one of the wealthiest men in the
country, but great commercial power
and philanthropist grasping the mos'
practical method of helping his genera
.on. In his youth he was shrewd
enough to detect the great sources o.
wealth and bought them completely
under his control. Judge Packer though
really owning the Lehigh Valley rail
road which he built by his indomitable
perseverance always preserved a Won
de- fu, simplicity OF manners. he was
not ashamed nor vain Of his rise from
an humble beginning. The poverty OF
his youth like the wealth of his age,
was but an exterior circumstance to
which he attached no importance At
the celebration Of his golden wedding
in Mauch Chunk, year or two ago,
among the splendid evidences OF his re-
cent fortunes two or three brightly
secured copper pots and pans hung on
the wall: they were those with which
the newly married couple had cooked
their humble meals, when they set up
housekeeping in the cabin OF the canal
boat; and were preserved in no Bound
erby spirit of boastfulness, but simply
as mementoes of pleasant years when
they wandered up and down with youth
hope, and little money.
Judge Packer, as we have said, ,edua'
Ted himself to keep step with his rlst
IA the world. Of this effort also, he
has left memorial in the great Poly
technic School at Bethlehem, PENN
the Lehigh University, built by him al
a cost of over million of dollars, and
supported by him alone, for the benefit
of young men who wish to enter any
practical scientific career. There edu-
cation is given to them absolutely free O.
cost. Judge Packer publicly recogni,
zed, by liberal gifts to the Church, his
debt to religion, but this school ano
the lives of the young men whom it ha
fitted for usefulness in the world wcr'
probably the tittest expression OF hi
humanity, and are the noblest monu
ments which can be raised to the mem
ory of this typical Americana keen
sighted, practical, sympathetic, high
natured old man.
We shall never forget the opportunl
ty that fortune threw in our way Ie'
years ago of meeting the Judge at tn
L-high University located on one of tn
grandest and romantic spots in tn
State of Pennsylvania, and we sha
never forget the pleasure it atforde
Mr.. Packer to speak of the good he eN
pected to resul. from the free education
If all the young men of the nation VIII
chose to avail themselves of the priv
leges offered. He told US of the privatlo
of his earlier life and the struggle h
had to secure an education, and in a
ter years when fortu:e smiled auspi
ciously upon him he thought he woul
do something to help the young men
avoid the difficulties he had to conten
with. The Lehigh University alone

liberality Of Asa Packer. Woul

A letter to the New York Herald
iiom Brazil gives a frightful picture
Of the drought, famine and pestilence
raging In the northern portion OF
that country for more than a year
past. 1t Is said to be the greatest
calamity In two hundred years.
Half q million people were swept
away by starvation land kdisease.
Smallpox and black plague carried
OF their victims in appalling num-
bers, and thousands OF bodies were
rotting in the open trench 9 at Lagoa
Funda. Thousands of other corpses
were torn and devoured by wild an
imals, and the peasants ate their Own
offspring. Some places, including
the city Of Cerea, have been depop-
ulated. In the terrible struggle for
life children were abandoned and the
young souls sold for bread. Thou
sands OF living skeletons were to be
seen. Government aid was tardy.
The letter presents pictures OF woe
such IS scarcely can be paralleled Ia

wasted Europe In the fourteenth cen

The Secretary OF the Treasury has
informed Congress that it will proba-
bly, require about twenty seven mil
lion Of dollars more to pay the ex-
pelses Of the government during the
next fiscal year than he will probably
get unless the deficit Ia provided for
by an increase Of taxation or in some
her way. This Is the result cf the
reforms inaugurated by the Demo
cratic Congress which took poses
sion OF the House OF Representatives
two years ago promising retiench-
ment and reform. 1t has reduced
the revenue and wasted the peoples
money In useless Investigations, and
shown its utter inability to manage
