Baltimore Letter.

4 Sweet Ss1ger-7heoricals-Masou
&c OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
Especial correspondence of the JOURNAL.
BALTIMORE, Feb. 25, 1879.
The opera season mentioned last
week was grand success, SO much so,
IN fact, that arrangements are already
being made for return. Perhaps 10
singer ever received such an ovation
in this quiet, staid city, as did Mad
anne GersLer at the matinee last Satur-
day Afternoon. She was repeatedly
called before the curtain; showers of
flowers were bestowed upon her, and
at the end of the opera was called for
by name by the people, who could
hardly be induced to let the sweet
songstress retire. This IS rather ex-
traordilary here, and especially at a
matinee, where theaudience is always
made up principally of ladies, who,
however, were, in this case, as eGthu-
siastic and demonstrative as the gem
tlemen. Gerstor has indeed a magni-
fcent voice; clear, rich and possessing
that quality which has ,een aptly Ies-
ignated as "bird like, soaring up and
up, seeming to be able to 20 still
higher with no effort whatever. More
money was realized from the opera
than anything SO far presented in the
theatres.
Last week Lawrence Barrett play
ed Hamlet; this week DenDlan Thomp-
son appears in Joshua Whitcomb and
on third of March that most charming
of all comic operas will be presented,
"Her Majesty's Ship Pinafore." This
has proved great success, and is now
being played in all the principal
cities in the country, so pleasing and
pretty it is.
In order to enlarge the fund for
the Masonic Fair to be held in six
weeks nearly every lodge has given
one or more musical and literary en-
tertainments; these have been very
pleasant, the parts being performed
by the amateur readers md singers
with which the city is Eouutifully
supplied. This has increased the
number of these concerts and tee
city has thus been gayer in this direo-
ton this year than last.
The Lenten season, the time for
sack-cloth and ashes, is now here and
will be observed in all the Episcopal
and Catholic churches: most of the
gayety has been suspended which
Easter will usher in again with re-
doubled force.
The hats this spring are to be
worn larger than usual, but nothing
can yet be definitely determined as
the stores will not begin to take in
goods for week Or two and they will
not be worn until Easter. Tho dress
goods do not seem to be materially
altered, the silk-la xed goods bidding
fair to be as popular as it was last sea-
son. PIoKENs,

Additional Locals.

REMovAL.-Mrs. Mary Walsh, late
ly of Barton, has removed to Frost
burg her former home. Her son,
Rev. John L. Walsh, member OF the
Baltimore Conference, NJ E. Church,
VIII not be re-appointed to his pres
ent station at Barton.
F1REMEN.-The second quarterly
meeting of the Frostburg Fire De-
partment will be held Tues lay even
ing next, at their room. Inside Off
GERS will be elected and ether bust
ness of importance transacted. A
full attendance is requested,
METHODIST preachers are making
ready for Conference. Rev's. Smith
son and Andrew left yesterday for
Salem, Va, where the Baltimore Con-
ference, South, meets next Wednesday.
Strong calls having been made for
botl in other localities, it is not kown
whether they will be returned to their
present charges. Rev. DR.. w. B. Ed
wards will leave next Tuesday for the
Baltimore Conference M. E. Church,
whi?h meets the same day in Baltl-
more Having served Frostburg the
the allotted term of three years, he
will be assigned to come charge else
where AL these gentlemen have
been very acceptable pastors, and
their removal will be regretted by
large numbers.
WEATHER PRoRABlL1TIEs-Rrot.
Ttce.-To day until Monday, cloudy
and threatening with rain and snow
storms at places Monday to Wednes-
day, clear or fair; Wednesday to Sat-
urday barometer will fall, tempera-
ture rise, and period end in clouding,
threatening weather, with heavy and
severe q orms in different localities.
These predictions do not apply to
places in particular, but to the United
States. Hence, failure of verihcation
at Fro thurg will be no test of their
general accuracy. The velocity and
direction Of the winds have much to
do with the weather, enough to destr y
absolute certainty In any progncstlca-
tons. But Pref. Tice claims to be
generally nearer right than wrong.

The attitude of the JOURNAL upon
the National Road toll-gate question
has not been rightly understood in
some quarters. We have not insist
ed upon the retention of the present
gates and establishment Of new ones
nolens rolens, though we have thought
such course would more surely an
swer the object Immediately desired.
Some statements recently made, of
which we were not before aware, n
cline US to think that the object re-
ferred to would be best achieved ty
a free road. The liberal disposition
evinced by the people Of Garrett is
very favorable to to this view of the
matter, and if carried out, as it should
be, the gates would be an incubus
upon the road rather than an aid
The Allegany and Garrett coma
sloners are proceeding very wisely
and We believe they will make such
disposition of the matter as will meet
public approval in both counties.
The experience of newspaper mer
goes to show that there are people il
every community afflicted with ma
mia for writing, as also for seeing
their names in print. They beset th'
paper constantly on every side, ano
are hard to shake off, like the bur
which finds it's way under COW 8 tail
In this connection somewhat W.
remark that another letter from R
F. Bishop appears elsewhere, not
withdrawing it is difficult to see VIII,
his controversy with the JoURNA:
should be prolonged. Beyond AFRO
gance and impertinence there is moth
ing in it, and these we do not iHten
to dignity by special notice.
Summed up, the whole dispute
through Mr.. Bishops tactics, drifte
beyond his control, and his persis
tence naturally developed the fac
that some people are yet exempt fror
classification among those who ough
to be noted for aristocratic pie,y
learning and manners.

The tide open the bar made moan

Love came 70 him who asked for fame.
The world has never heard his name.
With wife and children by his side,
His nefghbors think him satisfied
But By his hearth he often hears
The great worlds praises in his ears,
And wonders vaguely which were best,
The hills wide view or valleys restl
To him who asked for love and home.
Came fame. and ever he must roam
Through all the world his fame is known,
But he goes on unloved alone.
Men envy him They not know
The human heart that hunger's
For love and home. Below he sees,
with longing eyes, the valleys peace.
But up the hill he climbs alone;
He asked for bread and found a stone
oh, soreIy tangled skein Of fate;
Some time. God grant. the threads come straight
