from Mr. J. NJ. Mapleson, manager of Her
Majestys Opera Company, on Saturday last,
urging her to reconsider her determination
not to sing in the opera. He claims she is
now in her prime, and that it will be time
enough to think about retiring when anybody
appears capable of occupying any portion OF
her shoes. He urges her to sing in his COM
pany the coming season, and shall want her
to sing in London the next season, and says
if she has made concert arrangements they
can easily be dovetailed in with the operate
performances. For all Mr.. Mapleson's kind
Miss Cary will probably decline to sing in
opera

some trouble about team which Whalen
and three other sailors had hired. Whalen

has been in the navy about Is months. By
the payment of S65 to the assaulted
party, and lookup fees, Whalen was released

We present two letters on the Turner case,
from "Vindex." We are sorry to see this
case under discussion. 1t is mysterious and
obscure in its nature, and is one of those
which circumstantial evidence conspires to
render impossible Of solution, but leaves it
open to the mind for such doubts as the tenn
perament or surroundings Of persons may
influence. It is unfortunate in this respect
for Mr.. Turner; and It is also unfortunate for
those who were opposed TO him. 1t is unfor-
tunate that DR.. Turner should have made 8
charge Of conspiracy against those who op-
posed him when its nature was SO obscure
that it could not be proven but only assumed.
In this it resembles his own case, and both
sides to this controversy are apparently lab
oring under The mistake Of taking an assump
ton OF combination Of circumstances for q
fact. It is easy by inuendo and covert insin-
uation TO keep up controversy both on the
conspiracy charge and the seduction charge,
but in this case there is no evidence to prove
either charge, while there may be found con-
siderable inferential evidence to sustain both.
We would like to see the guilty convicted,
or something moreI than mere to advance
plausible theories and possibilities which
cannot be substantiated. It is not an
agreeable subject to contemplate BY outsiders,
and it certainly should not be such to those
engaged in the unseemly practice. There is
too much bad blood between the parties for
their own good, and we hope to see the sub
iect dropped or else sufficient proof shown to
convict. But Dr. Turner should not COM
plain, when he makes assertions about those
whom he considers opposed to him, if they
retort in kind.
