AnOperalIc Criticism.

No wonder Garlotta Patti skipped the
country tn hurry and went to Australia
after this criticism OF her singing by the San
Francisco Post
OF Garlotta Patti herself we regret we can
say very little in praise. Her first number, q
symphony in B-gorra, by dear old jim Bee
thoyen, was given with much apparent ner-
vonsness. In fact, this we'll known soprano
eve think she Is Il sOprano) seemed to realize
that she stood In the presence of one OF those
cultured and critical San Francisco audiences
we read about, many OF whom have walked
in from Hayes Valley and Laguna street
purpose. The result was her knees knocked
together with such force as to throw the ac-
compartment out several times. Her voice had
several paramount faults, and we will en-
deavOr to render our meaning clear to our
unprofesslonal readers by using as few mu-
steal phrases as possible. In the first place,
her technique Is bad, besides being too small.
When brand-new technique can now be
had for SD, and good secondhand one hold
Ing over two quarts, for 81 Is. there is no ex-
cllsa for this. or course we all know-all we
criticS-that there are no tears In Mrs. de
Munekey's voice. which Is the reason for her
having to wet her whistle so early and often.
There is a marked deficiency In breadth and
depth and thickness In the upper regis
ter. which does not admit the air
freely In consequence. and a far
off nearness, a sort of inanimate after
TASTE so to speak, in the diminuendo of her
flats, particularly her French fiat. Her sim
guar mannerism of holding her chin lopslded
during hero ups Is in bad form, and the first
thing she knows one OF her sharps will come
out edgeways and cut her throat. Then she
opens her mouth too much and too often
when she Sings which makes her chest notes
mouthy and her mou notes chesty. It would
BIZ much better, to say nothing OF more artis-
tie, ii she were to open only one side OF her
mouth at a time This would save wear and
tear of her teeth, and at the same time give
the other corner time to rest and brace up
She exerts herself too much Ia her tril.s, and
it would save both breath and expense il she
had them hereafter done behind the scenes by
a boy with dog whistle or something.

Loose rails were the terror of those who
travelled In railroad cars before the invention
Of what Is known as the "T' rail. 1t was a
common thing to see a sharp piece of iron
tearing Its way through the bottom of a car
Since rolled iron and steel rails have come
into fashion this form of accident has not
been heard OF. However, the old fashioned
rails are still used on some horse car lines,
In New York, gentleman was literally
plnioned to his seat by piece of iron thrust
Ing itself through the bottom of the car and
into the muscular part of the thigh. The car
had to be cut to pieces before the unfortunate
man could be relieved from his painful posi-
ton.

1t Is stated that new applications for PEN

indicate that nearly one-half the men enlisted

On TIE eve Of a general election, it may be
said that about every head teens with politics.
Every other man 1--WE speak Of the natives)Son-
siders himselfa statesman, and has c~ontrived a
scheme Of government and a code Of laws for the
benefit Of his fellow-subjects, whereby if they
but elect him they will be safe, content and hap
py. The utter absurdity, not to say mischievous
character Of a published manifesto Of one of these
aspirants to legislative hCnors, was sufficiently ex-
posed in our last. But it is reported that more
Of the same sort is to come, and from the same
source. That source, or at least the apparent
source, is an officer Of the Palace troops. This
fact, it is needless to say, is calculated to impart
a certain character of Importance, whether justly
or not. to the utterances. of the otherwise insight
fcant persons who 90 TO make up the rank and
file Of those troops. We do not look among such
material for any independence of principle, and
not unfrequently we may find them ready to lend
themselves to the performance of unworthy tasks
by mean compliance. The annals Of royal as
we'll as Of ordinary human nature bear testimony
to this. And when those who are known 10 be
the personal dependents Of the Sovereign are
brought forward as candidates for the represent
alton of the people IN the Legislature. it is not at
all strange that the people should look upon such

candidates with suspicion, as being in effect, the
nominees Of the Crown itself. The Crown, II Is
at tie zane time remembered, appoints the NObles
and the Ministers, and has q constitutional neg

When Judges may first be appointed as such

by the use Of all the various public and private

to secure the election of such judges as Represen-

grumblers-become Of the fundamental principle

The existence Of such a feeling and the posi-
billity Of such talk among the people is more
than uniOrtunate-it is damaging to the welfare
Of the State. Ii constitutes a condition of affairs
Of which Ministers must be cognizant, and for
which by the nature of their positions, under the

the Chief Justice, sitting in Admiralty, who gave
Adhesion on the oath of November, declaring the
vessel couiscated to the government. An appeal
was taken to the Court IN 6ancO. Meantime ap-
~plication was made for the release Of the vessel
under bond, in order that she might resume her
trips as a regular packet between this port and
San Francisco. The amount Of the bond was fix
ed at 81 500, which being considered too high by
the agents, the vessel remained in duress. Dur
ing the past week, the Chief Justice and Mr..
Justice McCully delivered their opinions in the
case, (Which had been reheard, with new evil
dence) and as those opinions differed, tie matter
remains as yet undecided, and will have to be
deferred until the return Of Mr.. Justice Judd,
who is now absent on a visit to the United States.

the amount formerly demanded.
