wANTED TIIE WHOLE OPERA.
The Singular Suit Of a French
man Against the Director
Of the Opera.

Galignanis Messenger in a recent
issue says A suit, in which M. Vau
corbeil, the director Of the opera is
the defendant, began before the tribu
nal Of commerce on Thursday, and
promises to be both curious and inter
esting. The plaintiff in the case is
NJ. G~randsagne, a literary man, who
had taken a box in the third tier, for
which he paid AS francs 10 centimes,
for the representation of the Favor
lite" on the Sd ult., and according to
his owR account, he was greatly inter
ested in hearing Donizetti's famous
opera in Its entirety. He complains,
however, that the opera had been cut
up and mutilated with an almost in
comprehensive vandalism, and the
grand aria in the sixth scene of the
first act, the most important from an
artistic and musical point Of view, bad
even been entirely suppressed. IN.
Vaucorbeil," adds NJ. Grandsagne,
not only rendered himself guilty Of
an outrage on the memory of
the immortal author of the "Fa-
y%orite,' but be had also acted
to my prejudice by not having given
what he had sold me for an agreed
price. If the grocer at the corner
does not provide me with the quantity
of goods | have bought Of him, he viii
be liable to punishment and will owe
me compensation. | do not see why
NJ. Vaucorbeil should be in a privi-
legged position. He is a man of bust
ness, like the other, and lies under
similar obligations. |, therefore, ask
that he should be directed, under a
penalty Of 1900 francs to give another
performance Of the Fayorite--a com
| plete one this time-and that il the
tribunal should not be of my opinion,
". Vaucorbeil may be compelled to
restore to me the sum 48 francs 10
centimes, which | handed to him for
a thing which has not been Loyalty
supplied, and to pay me 800 francs in
addition as damages and interest, to
make up for the expenses and loss OF
time which have been caused me by
that unlucky evening" On the de-
wand Of NJ, Schaye, NJ. Vaucorbeil :
ditorney, who requested time, in order
to be enabled to procure information
as to the terms on which the new d.
rector of the opera is authorized to
give partial representations of works
in the repertory, the hearing was adj
journed for a fortnight.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, FEB. ), 1880 J
Hardly a day now passes without
some excitingl.news from the East re
garding speculations in stocks or
bonds, and the order of the day seems
to be buying up railways with many
millions of money. In this market,
however, all is quiet; the money mar
ket tending toward greater ease by the
gradual accumulation of currency in
the banks. Prospects favor an active
spring trade, and a good demand for
all local securities deemed sound. The
rates of discount on choice CONNER
cial paper is steady at s per cent. with
with light offerings. Open market
rates range from 6 to 10 per cent. ac~
cOrding to the nature of the security.
Exchange is steady at to &c discount
on Eastern cotton bills, and ! off on
New Orleans. Drafts on all points
sell at par.
Recent advices from the East give
accounts of a feverish state in tire
breadstuf market, prices all of last
week being unsettled. On Thursday
last, there were sales in New York of
100000 bushels of wheat for export at
II to &c per bushel better figures than
ruled on the previous day. Referring
to this and the large number of vessels
now lying idle in the New York har-
Dor, the Philadelphia Ledger Of Fri
day last says AT present there are
So steamers, 80 ships, asa barks and 90
brigs at that port, which is the largest
feet of vessels ever known to be in
that harbor at any one time, making
an aggregate tonnage, exclusive Of the
steamers, of 100000 tons. The ship
ping interests are suffering more than
any other, not because breadstufs are
too high, but because OF the lack OF
export demand. Shippers have re
duced their freights to the lowest
point ever known, and yet it is impos-
sible for even the regular lines OF
steamers to get cargoes sufficient for
b blast. The actual export from the
seven Atlantic ports, Montreal, Port
lautI, Boston, New York, Baltimore.
Phila delphia and New Orleans, last
week, was: Wheat S3O,O95 bushels tc
the United Kingdom, and 1868
bushels to the Continent of Europe
corn, 6Og ,977 bushels to the United
Kingdom and 743, 1872 bushels to the
Continent. The high prices have ha(
the effect of drawing large quantitie!

Am Englishman's Impressions of
American MindiineSs.

As | have touched upon this point,
the kindness of the American chars
acter, | will say a little more about it..
for | think that Englishmen don't Of
ten understand it. The Americans in
this respect resemble the Scotch. The
kindly Scot is a proyerbial charac-
Ter. AL observant people who have
lived in Scotland and associated with.
all classes Of people there know that
there is always a great, broad vein of
kindliness running through a Scotch
mans character, and that if you ap-
peal to that feeling you very rarely in
deed appeal in vain. l. is just the
same here. Having lived so long in
Scotland, and gradually learned to
recognize this strong national
characteristic, | am able to de-
tect its presence very quickly in
another nation. One of the first dis
c%overies ! made in America was that
10 dealing with officials of all ranks
and kinds, if wanted anything done
for me, the best thing l could do was
tn tell them that | was a stranger in
the country. The most imposing off
cial, and | have had occasion to pence
trate into the presence Of some very
imposing ones, at once melted when
he heard that. However gruff and
nonchalent he might be at first, no
sooner did he know that | was a
stranger than he became my kind and
attentive friend. 1t is the same all
through, The Americans, like the
Scotch, may not have the external
politeness that is so agreeable in the
French character; but, like them, i. e J.,
the Scotch, are at the bottom among
the most kind hearted people in the
world.
