ES Their.
A Musical Awakening Here and
Elsewhere.

Much interest is manifested in musical
ciicles in regard to the production of the can
tata esther in this city. The first public per-
folmance will take place Tuesday evening,
December q, as arrangements for the hall can
not be perfected before that date. Helena
also intends r~eviving its scriptural lore while
gratifying its musical taste, as we learn from
the Her0Id shat ''the ladies and gentlemen Of
the Church..o of the Sacred Heart have decided
10 reproduce the beautiful cantata tf Esther,
which proved so pleasant a feature of last
season." The proceeds of the representation
in Helena, which will take place Christians
week, will be devoted to the Sisters orphan
asylum.
Not alone in Montana is the musical world
agog. Patti, ''the divine Patti, )" is overcom-
ing adverse criticism, social prejudice and
the disadvantage Of seats at $40 apiece, and is
enrapturing New York. For all who have
ever heard her she will continue undisputed
mistress of the lyric stage, and now, in the
prime Of her magnificent powers, she disarms
by her beautiful singing the hostility which
society has seen proper to feel towards her
since she ceased to he Marchioness of Caux,
and became the friend of he tenor Nicolni.
A New York critic says of her: "When she
appeared, dressed with charming Taste in light
blue satin trimmed with lace ana pearls, a
band of four strings of pearls around her
neck, an immense solitaire diamond depend
ing from each ear, and her black hair I'm.
dorned, tie applause was most cordial" We
read this night before last after return
ing from the rehearsal of Esther at Caplice's
Hall, and what with appreciation ofthe canta
ia and admiring recollections of Patti,-wen
home and dreamed the most remarkable
medley imaginable; Patti and Esther were
singing against each other in the new Episco
pal church for a diamond necklace, the on
that could strike the highest C" to take thu
prize. There was u large and excited audi

GouId's Blackmai1er in the To,nl

GouId's BIackma1ler in the Tolnbs.
 NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-Colonel J. Howard Welles, who is confined in the Tombs on charge of attempting to blackmail Jay Gould, passed sleepless night. In his cell to-day he refused to converse with anyone. The greater part of last night and up to noon to- day he sat on rude bench in the cell with his face buried in his hands At other times he appeared nervous and excited and paced his cell communing with himself. He ate sparingly and his whole demeanor seemed to indicate that hewas suffering from mental alteration. Justice-elect Mcneil, his nephew and counsel, called to see him to-day and re- mained half an hour. He refused to speak in relation to the case. From the manner in which Welles has conducted himself since his
 incarceration there is ample reason for be- lieving that he was not in his right mind when he wrote the letter to MT. Gould. The Tombs physician spent little over an hour to day in examining him in order to ascertain his mental condition. At times Welles seemed rational enough, but at others his answers seemed slightly incoherent. There was reason for believing however, that his attempt to blackmail MT. Gould was the re- suit of temporary alteration of mind. He seems to realize vaguely the position he is in and is apparently bewildered rather than troubled by his imprisonment. The examin- ing physician refuses to disclose the result of his investigation, stating that he would place his conclusions in the form of report and send it to Justice Bixby.

A su1tASaInst Pr1ma Donna Patti.

NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-It was reported to- day that suit for large amount had been commenced against AdeliHa Patti in the Su- preme Court for alleged breach of contract. Her attorney stated this afternoon that they had been served with papers. The com- plainant was Max Maretzek, but the attorney did not feel justified in giving any of the con tents to the papers until Mime. Patti had seen them farther than to state that 1t was for claim twenty years old. Maretzek's lawyer also refused to give any details. From other sources it was learned that the suit was for alleged breach of contract to sing in Mexico in 1861. It is said she was engaged for @ cer- tain stipulated sum and that Maretzek pre- pared routes, engaged the rest of the compa- nv, purchased wardrobes, made contracts for theaters, etc, ec. A short time before the date of the start it is alleged Patti refused to go to Mexico because of some trouble which had taken place in that vicinity and broke her contract to sing. It is alleged that Mar etzek expended upward of $1O,OOO, and claims to have lost nearly three times that amount in addition by reason of the alleged breach of contract, for both of which amounts he has brought suit. Maretzek has been in Cincinnati for some time past, but came here few days ago.
