ITALIAN OPERA-IL BARBIERE.
At the beginning of the season there were great
many new names on Mr.. Mapleson's list of artists.
and they are by no means exhausted yet The
singers are doled out one by one, with the apparent
view of thus keeping alive the interest and curiosity
of the public, and these tactics to he eminenty

crowded.

who made her first appearance rs ROsina in Rossnis

of this artist in advance that the audience hardly
knew what to expect, and therefore it cannot be
said that her performance was n disappointment

On the other hand, she sings with unusual

that the French, in whose school Allle Vachot has
been taught place style above everything else and
of her style it must be said that it is admirable

PERSONAL.

The late William Cullen Bryanfs birthday has
just been formally celebrated by literary society
in Wheeling, W. Va.
Senator John A. Logan arrived at his Chicago
home on Wednesday, and The Journal of that city
says: "Ar. Tucker, his SON in-aw, astOnished him
by calling him grandfather"
Minister West is mentioned as the possessor of the
most charming manners in the world. His little
speech on board the Indiana to the Philadelphians
who welcomed him was graceful aud gracious as
possible. He is in his ifty-trst year.

Mr.. Thomas A. Hendricks, in reviewing his Sena-
torial career, speaks of Reverdy johnson as tho
abest lawyer in the Senate during his term. Charles
Sumner succeeded in having more of his views
bodied in the laws of the country than any other
man. Buckalew, of Pennsylvania was a debater of
rare force, and produced during the stress Of his
Senatorial duties the ablest book that has been
written OF minority representation. Garrett Davis
was the most fearless debater he ever saw but not
always considerate. DoolittIe of Wisconsin, was
the finest orator Fessenlen of Maine, was the
abest Senator his State has produced; he never
left point unanswered, and was the readiest man

for action. TTumbull was eminent a lawyer and

extreme in his expressions; strength and earnest

B1NE EXAMINATIONS.

Controller Knox will undoubtedly invcsti-
gate without delay the charge made by a
stakeholder of the broken Newark bank, that
an investigation requested by him, and
ordered by the Controller, was entirely de-
feated by the conduct of the Examiner. II is
alleged that the Examiner proceeded to un-
bosom himself to the cashier, and placed in
his hands the confidential letter from the
stakeholder, in which attention was particu-
larry directed to certain accounts, and to that
of Nugent g. Co. among others. If this state
ment has any foundation, and that Examiner
is now in any public employment, he ought to
be relieved from duty without loss of time.
Controller Knox has done much to strengthen
public confidence in the National banking sys-
TEN by his own fidelity and care. He VIII
fully appreciate the mischief done by dis
closures which seem to show that investi-
cations by Government officers constitute
no adequate protection against fraud. Perhaps
he may think it best to recommend such
changes in the law as shall make these inves-
LEGATIONS more thorough, strict, and reliable.

not likely to regard the nomination OF an

A SYMPTOM OF HARMONY.


The most painful thing of the present can
vass the fact that the great Democratic purpose IN
and the platform was drawn with nothing whatever in
view but the slaughter OF Hancock and the advance
ment OF Tden. Whether this programme WISE Is
not the question now; II was adopted, and all the
friends OF Mr. Tilden should not only quietly indorse IL
but openly proclaim IT, 1t must not be assumed for
moment that It is programme TO be ashamed OF, be-
cause that would be confession OF weakness under
which party could be successful. The ticket ougnt
really TO be headed In all the Democratic newspaper
with the proposition, For President in 1884, Samuel
Tlden." That Is what II means, and oil IL means aud
is evidence OF hypocrisy of guilt OF some other u
pleasant state OF things that there should be sacn e
tire silence In this regard the part Of the regular
man and newspapers.

M. Tirard's declaration shows despite the
reports to the contrary, that the negotiations
for new Anglo French commercial treaty
ended because the French had reached the ex-
IRENE limit of concessions in regard to wool
ems and cottons. Nothing more, it seems, can
be done until NJ. Gambetta becomes Premier,
and appoints a more plant Minister OF Com
merce than NJ. Tirard. The visit of the Prince
of Wales to Paris is probably connected with
the expected compromise. He has already
helped NJ. Gambetta by affording the Republic
can leader an opportunity to deny, more con-
clusively than heretofore, that he made a
stealthy visit to Prince Bismarck.
Prince Bismarck has at length made it clear
that he is opposed to the Hebrew persecution,
and will not encourage any proposal to deprive
the Hebrews of their constitutional rights.
This declaration cannot fail to restrain some
fanatics, although it comes rather late, and
has been anticipated by the popular verdict at
the polls. While, however, Prince Bismarck
has soft words for the Hebrews, he is dis
posed to give no quarter to the Progressists,
whom he regards as hostile to the Emperor
and the Empire. He is evidently determined.
ii he can, to check the Liberal movement,

"A good specimen of the falsehoOds to which
the Democrats of this State are reduced in their
attempts to realize the majorities they have
been predicting for themselves is exposed else
where. They tried to arouse the hostility of
the numerous mutual benefit associations of
the State against Ira Davenport the Repub-
lican candidate for Controller, by alleging in
an ANONYMOUS circular that he supported last
winter in the Senate certain legislation UNI
friendly to these associations. certificate
from two prominent members of the Knights of
Honor, printed elsewhere, states that the bill
in question never reached the Senate, and that
consequently Mr.. Davenport could never have
voted for it; further, that he never even in
directly, supported it. II the Democrats have
any other charge to make, which is less of a
bull, it would be well to hasten it. The time
is short, and the chance of making a Controller
out of the maltster and small politician who
was nominated by the Democratic Convention
is not 30 good as Mr.. Maxwell probably wishes
it was.
