Pin.a.Back.

The English extravaganza, Pinafore, Is
about to be subjected to that sincerest form
OF tattery, imitation. An American manager
announces in circular marked "confiden-
tiar'-a mark which means "for immediate
publication he is about to bring out an
adaptation of Pinafore ''contaiEing local al
lusions' and "adapted to the American
navy" 1t ought not to require large COM
PanY nor strong cast.
The adaptation will be called, so the circu-
lar says, "Pin-a-Back", and the manager as
sures US that there is great deal of wit in
the title. We are prepared to believe the
title as witty as the body of the work. AL
though no excerpts from the new extrava-
ganza are given, he tells us that popular
American airs are to be introduced in place
Of the original music, and that the
siibretto is to be enlivened with american
gags" So we have right to expect that
the chairman of the Naval Com mittee, the
American representative OF Sir Joseph Por-
ter, will trip the decks of the Pin-a-Back to
the tune of Johnny Morgan, that the cord
dSo Will CItdh III uulSOu Will tuc ul6'd-WoJ
strains OF My Grandfather's Clock, that the
American captain will dismiss the American
crew with the remark that he will see th em
later, and the able seaman suggest to the
official visitor that he is putting on too many
frills. In place Of the sisters and the cousins
and the aunts, we shall have an investigat-
ing committee, and the changing of children
at nurse by undesigning Little Buttercup
will be displaced by change OF contract
whereby the highest bidder gets the job.
The chorus will be the plaintive songs of
seamen pleading for their pay, aud the ha-
ha-ha's Of CoDgressmen intent upon the re-
peal of the election laws.
The piece will be funny of course. Pima
fore was; and we can beat the English every
time. One of the richest strokes of humor
will be, the manager informs us, the substi-
tuition of dollars for pounds and cents for
pence. 1t would not be surprising ii the
change tickle the popular fancy, and If peo-
pie show their appreciation OF the joke at the
ticket Office

THE Cincinnati Commercial and Gazette
both take the same view OF the significance
Of the Republican victory in that city. The
latter says: "Cincinnati has spoken, and
her voice is for the Union. The fight was
fairly and squarely made. It was an issue
between the Southern Coniederacy revived
and the United States, and there is no mis-
taking the meaning of the verdict. The
Democrats chose to plant themselves on a
platform which affirmed that the declared
purpose of the Confederate majority in Con-
gress to override the Constitution, to wipe
from the statute books all war legislation. and
to take away the safeguards of the ballot-box,
was right and that the American people ap-
proved it. On that platform the battle was
fought. Local and personal considerations
were lost sight of in the overshadowing ques-
tion of the maintenance of the nation. The
vote polled was the largest ever drawn out at
Spring election in Cincinnati, and in spite
of the most determined and inscriptions
work Of the D Democracy in the canvass and at
the polls, the Republicans have gained the
victory"

THE Free Congregational Society of Flor
ence, Massachusetts,, has been engaged for a
year past in discussing these subjects: "The
Consultations of Rationalism;" "Buddhamed
Buddhism" "The Disintegration of Soci-

out" These are topics that stir mems souls,
and make the red blood leap in their veins.

GLOUCESTER has lost 191 men since last
December. who were engaged in the fisher

1866 children are fatherless. The town is in
grievous need of aid. Portland, that can
give Mary Anderson 81 200 for a few hours
entertainment, is certainly able to give some
aid to the suffering families of Gloucester.
