Miss Emma c. Thursby.
1The Rallimoraan

The name and fame of this eminent
vocalist are now worldwide. During the
past twelve or eighteen months she has
been abroad, and from everywhere comes
similar report-unprecedented success.
At one time since her departure we have
heard of her triumphs in critical and ar.
tistic Paris, and her admission to the So
ciety of French artistes; at another, she
is singing at Buckingham Palace, before
the most splendid court in Europe. Next
we have tidings of her visit to Gamle
Norge, with the old violinist, Ole Bull,
and again, reports of the applause which
greets her at the great provincial musical
festivals of England. She is in request
everywhere, and everywhere she meets
with enthusiastic applause. Soon we
hope to have her in Baltimore, where she
has been so frequently heard in former
years, and always with the highest favor.
Miss Thursby is native of Brooklyn,
N. Y, and displayed her musical talents
when member of the class of the Sun
day-school attached to the church of the
Rev. DIR. Potter. After occupying for a
brief period position in the Plymouth
choir, she was engaged as leading singer
in DIR. Potters congregation, from which
she transferred her services successfully
to the churches of Dr. Chaplin and DR..
Taylor. But during the fulfllment Of
these engagements, she was not idle; she
patiently studied her art, at first under
Errani, of New York, and finally under
Madame Rudersdorf, of Boston. She
had in the interim paid visit to Italy,
but in that vaunted school of song she
derived little benefit, and not till the
year 1875, when she placed herself under
the care of Madame Rudersdorf, was her
distinguished ability recognized. Hel
first success was at Boston, when, by
Madame Rudersdorf's advice, she sang in
concert given by the Howard Musical
Association. Since then her career has
been one of uninterrupted triumph.
After her debut at Boston, in 1875,
Miss Thursby sang in all parts of the
country. In 1876 she went with P. s.
Gilmore to California, and during hel
engagement there was heard by his I'm
perial Majesty, Dom Pedro, Of Brazil.
The Emperor is well known for his mu
sical taste, and he was SO charmed witt
her manner that he made her the mos
fattering offers to come to Rio de ia
metro.
Miss Thursby steadily refuses to sins

The Musical Season.
New York Tribune.1

Tempted, perhaps, by the prospects of
an unusually gay season, the managers of
opera and concert companies have made
start, and some of them are already
prospering while fashionable society
hardly yet acknowledges itself to be in
town. 1t is assured on all sides that peo-
pie mean to spend great deal of money
this winter. The first gleam of sunshine
after the long period of gloom has had a
remarkable effect upon the spirits of the
public, and all the world seems brisk and
merry. Musical and dramatic enter.
tainments of most kinds are likely to OBJ
tain much more liberal support this
year than they have earned at any time
since the era Of initiation and extrava-
gance.
A fitting prelude to the classical con.
certs of the season will be given next
week at Steinway Hall, where Theodore
Thomas, long missed from New York
will appear again at the head of his or
chestra, and present one Of those inter
esting and symmetrical programmes
which used to be the delight of all oul
connoisseurs. The concerts of this con
ductor have not only an exceptional
merit in the execution, but they are dis
| tinguished for an excellence in the ar
rangement of the bill which is altogether
unique. We shall have repeated occa
sions this year to admire thetact and ex
tensive knowledge displayed in Thomas
selections, for he takes charge again Of
the Philharmonic Society, and will nc
doubt bring back prosperity to that re-
spectacle organization.
Already there has been an active de-
mand for boxes and season tickets, and
arrangements have been made for ample
rehearsals under Thomas personal di
rection. The New York Symphony So
ciety enters upon its second season vigor
GUS and enthusiastic, and DR.. Damrosch
has laid out some important work for it
the difficult and little-known larger com
positions Of Berlioz forming, as they did
last year, a considerable part of the
scheme. The Chickering Hall sympho
MES will go on under the same direction
as before, and the Oratorio Society prom
ises the usual variety of choral music.
There is little positive information
about the plans of Mr.. Mapleson, but il
is reasonable to infer from the catalogue
of his engagements that he will rely, a.
he did last year, chiefly upon spirited
and careful representation Of the familiar
stock operas. He brings prima donns
who has won high place in the regarG
of the American public, and who has Ger
tainly given some of the most charming
presentations of the light soprano part
that our stage has witnessed for many
years. In some quarters there is Away
clamor for novelty; but under the in
fuence of Gersters magnetic presenc,
the old works are fresh and young again,
and it will be long before our audiences
tire OF such an Amina, such Dinorah
or such Lucy of Lammermoor. Their,
are several artists in the list of the com
pany whose capabilities have yet to b,
tested, and there are rumors of the pro
duction of various new works. The mail
stay of the season, however, will un
doubtedly be Nine Gerster- Gardini.

MIR. REDPATH,S DISAPPEAR.
ANCE.
The Report that he has Been Found
In Kalamazoo Contradicted.
New York Sum-

A special dispatch to Chicago news
paper from Kalamazoo, Mich, reports
that Mr.. James Redpath has been found
alive and safe. So far as can be learned
here, that statement is wholly without
foundation. Since Sept 4th Mr.. Red
path has been missing, and from the time
when he sent to Mrs. Chorpenning the
brief despatch that his head "hurt terri
bly," and that he thought the sea air
would do him good, not the slightest clue
has been afforded that might have sug-
gested his fate. Superintendent Walling
believes that under temporary mental
alteration he wandered on board ship
bound to some distant port, and that his
condition was not perceptible to strangers
until he was too far away to send back
word of his whereabouts.
He did not have with him any consid-
cradle sum of money, not enough to have
tempted any one to make way with him
for purposes of robbery. He was not
dressed or provided with underclothing
or other necessaries for long absence
from home. His physical and mental
breakdown, under the stress of his inces-
SAINT labors, seemed to be complete. He
avowed his want of rest, and his last sane
act, so far as known, was to express the
intention of seeking that rest on the sea.
If upon shipboard he may have taken
with him nothing to establish his identi-
ty, and in that case may have died, and
been buried at sea as an unknown man."
Mr.. John v. Redpath telegraphs from
Kalamazoo:
"The reports published in the Western
papers that l had discovered the where
abouts of my brother James are unfound-
ed. Iknow nothing regarding him."
All Mr.. Redpath's business has been
given up, and his Office, in the Universe
ty building, has been abandoned.

A FALSE REPORT.
Capt. Berry of the Richards Light In.
fantry Interviewed.
THE FEELING At GARDINER.

GARDINER, December 20. On reading the
statement this morning in the Globe, that
Capt. Berry of the Richards Light Infantry
had arrangements secretly made to remove
the arms of the company from the armory
Sunday night to some place where he can
command their use; also that he openly
avows his intention to refuse to obey any
summons to turn his command out for SER
vice for the State if Governor Garcelon calls
upon him to do so, a correspondent called
upon Capt Berry to ascertain If the state
ments were true. Capt. Berry declares the
whole statement false, and without any foun-
dation. He states he has been spending
Christmas in Boston, and on his arrival by
the Pullman train Sunday morning was met
at the depot by his orderly sergeant, who
said he with few men were watching in the
armory that no unauthorized persons might
remove the guns. This was done without
any orders, the Capt. having given none to
any officer or private either before or during
the orderly, who knew the captain to be per-
sonally responsible for all State property in
his possession. The arms are still in the
armory, never having been moved. He states
furthermore that he has never expressed any
opinion whatever as to what he would or
would not do in the future, and shall not do
so until orders are received. Though repub-
lican in politics, he understands the duties of
a soldier and regrets that any such sensation
al pernicous story should have been given to
the public.
The statement that talk INDUCED in by
ministers has created more excitement in
Gardiner thon anything else, is an entire
Misrepresentation. There is hard feeling
among few. but nothing like general excite
ment. The citizens of Gardiner, as a whole,
seem to be quietly awaiting the result Of the
meeting of the Legislature next month.
