Music AND THE DRAMA.
voYAGERs IN SOUTHERN SEAS.

VOYAGERS IN SOUTHERN SEAS.
Alta few minutes after ; o'clock last night Captain
Grant and one Of his three children were abandoned
upon q desert island in tho Southern seas--to the
general satisfaction Of large assembage at Booths
Theatre About $50 the public regret became general
that the whole Grant family had not been left there
on the same suspicious occasion. AZ 9:l5 when
most Of the dramatis persOu@ fell into earthquake
abyss hopes were monentary entertained that
this relief would be afforded: but these rosy antic
nations were thwartcd by Patagonian savage
A. $50 Mr. Dan Magnness and Slr. Charles Leslie
Allen had begun to rescue the drama, If
not the Grant fanily-tho one by his
comic acting of an Irish biddy the other by his apt
and drol ecccntrclty as an absent-mnded French
philosopher. little later Miss Rachel Noah and
Mr.. NJ j. Jordan had completed this good work, by
deeply sincere and passionate expression of delirum

that Captain Grant would be rescued about mid

therefore greeted with rapture.

illumination at Valparaiso is really q

was the flight of the sylph-like Mile. Ariel-a very

pIIRITANI.

The ndispostion of signor Del Puente compelled
the substitution of l Purtani for the Magic Flute
at the Academy last evening There were audible
gruiables in the lobby whom the posters announcing
the change were read, and one disappointed
seeker for something fresh in the way of an
opera was beard to say: "We get more disappoint-
ments than anything else this year." But the ex-
ceptonally strong cast, Gerster, Campanin Galassi
and Monti, quoted most of the grumblers. All
those artists were in excellent voice. Madame
Gerster especially sang with almost unwonted
brilliancy, and was recalled again and again. OF
course the always popular duet Suomi la 1romba.'
by Signor Galassi and Signor Mont, had 10 be re-
peatcd, and it deserved to be. Yet when due credit
has been given to the work done by tho admirable
leading artists of Mr.. Maplesou's company. IL must
be said that tho audience received the opera more.
in q spirit of resignation than in any other way.

is great deal in the proceedings oil THESE
people that, when set in cold type in the COL

shock the feeling of humanity in most minus

the spread of such sentiments or to dIeau tn0

officer in command of the party which took MN

EUROPEAN CONTRASTS.

The career of Alexander III. marks the
changes wrought by quarter-century of
diplomacy and warfare. His reign opened at
the transition point from Europe which
had been at rest for forty years to Europe
of wars, court intrigues, national arma-
ments and ceaseless unrest The fortunes of
soyereigns are not to be confounded with the
work of the chancellors and Of that crowned
usurper whose ntrigues ended at Chiselhurst
IL the map of Europe has been repeatedly
recast since the siege of Sebastopol, if Aus
tria has been driven out OF Italy and shOn
of prestige in Germany, il tbs Sandman
dynasty has given up the cradle Of
its race, If Denmark has been despoiled,
if the Fatherland has been made the strongest
Power on the Continent, and if France has
lain PROSTATE, bleeding and helpless at the
feet of Germany, while England. Russia and
Austria have been impassive witnesses of her
humiliation, the kings diplOmatists, rather
than the kings themselves, have been respon-
sible for the coalitions, the treaty-breaking,
the double-dealing and the battle-felds. But
the fortunes of sovercigns may rightfully be
associated with national impulses which they
have had neither the Will nor the power to
resist Ii the Italian States have been bound
together in political system, If Germany has
been united under the leadership Of Prussia

A ella of lawyers and agents exist in the
United o.sltes who make it their business to
encourage the foolish and extravagant notions
already too prevalent of hugo unclaimed for
tunes awaiting heirs In England and other
old countries. One of these people is dis
missed employee Of the Bank of England who
has settled in st. Louis. His performances
have been made the subject Of q special
letter from the Bank of England to our Con-
sular representative in London, which is now
given out by the State Department. This
action ought to suppress at least one of these
humbugs.
One Of Secretary Kirkwood's first expert
ences in his new post is an attempt on the
part of the innocent Utes to outwit the Gov

claim that they understood that the valleys of
their reservation were to be left to them under
the treaty until they had secured con-
siderable part Of the money due them. There
seems to be no doubt that the provisions Of
the treaty were well understood by the tribe.
AT all events, they were carefully explained,
and reexplained, and the Indian mind has

AN OBSTINATE OFFICIAL,

The disaster on the Mexican railway,
by which nearly ono hundred and fifty
people wero killed and sixty'nine
wounded, was occasioned by tho stupid
obstinacy OF the officers Of the troops,
who were bring CONVEX ed to the city OF
Mexico. /, vas q o'clock in the even.
ing when tho locomotive engineer said
TO the Northumberland; "The route is
new and the roalbed may be washed out
and the bridges unsafe; We had better
wait until tho morning" The ollicer
told him to so on; he had received or.
ders to report at the city OF Mexico tho
next morning. The engineer proceeded
slowly and cautiously until he reached
q new bridge spanning n ravine. Here
he stopped for the purpose OF exam'n-
ing tho bridge. The officer and two
subordihatcs sprang upon the engine,
and with pistols at his head and the
heads OF the ilremen, ordered him to
proceed. Some OF the soldiers, under.
standing what was passing, jumped OIL
and escaped; the Others, crying forpro'
lection, covered in the cars. Two
piers had been carried away by the
freshet, leaving the rails still standing.
Tho train plunged into the abyss, the
cars mangling and crushing the in
mates; great quantities OF lime fell upon
them; eighty barrels of alcohol took
fire from the Goals Of the engine, and
the whole writhing mass of human be.
ings were envelopcd in the flames
There being no means of communica.
tion with tile distant stations for long
hours, no aid came. mongthose saved
were the engineer and, as some will
almost regret to read, the officer who
was the immediate cause OF the catas'
trophe. A few moments examination,
as urged by the engineer, would have
prevented the horror.
