MUSIC.
THE OPERA-MfGNON.


Whatever its merits and its faults. there does not
seem to be any question about the popularity with
our public of Ambrose Thomsss "Mgnon." which
was given last night by Mr.. Mapleson's artists.
Except for some performances in French by
Paola Marie and Capoul. the opera has
not been heard here much of late years. but the

cially the latter excellent in the title role still
fingers pleasantly doubtless, In the minds OF those
who saw these admirable artists in Thomas's work,
for the house was crowded and the audience showed
an interest and an enthusiasm which were hardly
to be accounted for either by the beauty Of the
music itself or the character of the performance.
Madame Marie Roze whose first appearance it
was gave an excellent performance OF the title part

brilliancy, and displayed capacity for

4 c0TR1GEOUS STA TESMAM.

The eliminating point of Lord Beaconsfield's
administration was his return fIOm Berlin,
when London opened its gates and honored him
with civic triumph. Until the frenzy spent its
force, he was more than king or conquerOr; he
was a national hero, who had restored the in-
fluence of his country in a European council.
Englishmen forgot for the moment that lie had
uniformly resisted the liberal measures by
which their society had been regenerated, and
that he had achieved his brilliant diplomatic
successes only by resorting to secret compacts,
intrigue and uble-dealing. Enthusiasm was
infectious he seemed to have touched the pop
ular heart the pulses Of the nation were beat
ing fast. Yet at time when black specks
were floating before the eyes OF his countrymen,
there was one man whose vision was clear aud

auired strange fondness. 1t must I've observed,
however, for the vindicatiOn OF Dickenss ac-
curacy as a reporter that this prisoner from
choice began his career far from willingly, ana
at the time of the visit described was probably
| in the hopeless mood pictured in the Ameri-
can Notes"
| General Grants resignation as president OF
| the Worlds Fair Commission was characters
tically brief, and was accepted by the Execu-
tive Committee upon the Rev. Dr. Newman
| assurance that General Grant would not recon-
slider his decision. The name OF President
Jewett, of the Erie Railroad, came prominently
forward in the discussion of the best choice to be
made IN place of General Grant. The selection
of Mr. Jcwott would unquestionably mean
vigorous pushing of the Fair enterprise, ana
would go as far to make success as any name
can.
The Democrats of Rhode Island who seem
to have even more than the party average ol
effervescent foolishness, have been adopting
tributes to Mr. Ben Hill, and denOuncng the
unmanly, dishonest and treacherous course
Of Senator Malone. 1t would be waste OF Ian
guage to attempt to state i'll apprecable ng-
u1es or dimensions the stuDidIty of eulOglzlng
Mr.. Hill, when nearly every Democratic paper
of Importance in his own section has as much
as told him that be was fool for his PANS
But the allusion to Senator Malone is in
vein which Democrats and Democratic news
papers have grown so fond of that it may be
worth while to show them how utterly illogical 1t
is. In charging Senator Malone so loosely with
dishonesty" and treachery," they entirely
forget-or ignOre-the fact that not one
of his supporters, so far as the puo-
lie knows, has expressed the belief that
he has been trickcd or betrayed. When
Senator or Representative is accused
of betraying his party, the first question Is
What does his party sayg The answer III
Mr.. Mahone's case is that his course has been
warmly and enthusiastically approved by the
men VINO made him Senator Talk about
treachery" III the face of this fact Is mere
silllness, such as full grown men should not
indulge in. With Senator MahOnes relations
to the Democratic party and his hnahclai
opinions the Republican party has no concern
He is responsible for both, and can be lett 10
deal with both. But the charge that he has
betrayed anybody should be dropped from
current politics as something Tcry dead, es-
pecally as the Readjuster State Committee
met yesterday and warmly indOrsed Mr.
Nlahoncs action.

Again the wife-beater. A New Yorker this
time, who has just emerged from six months
secluslon in the Workhouse for brutaiy beat
ing his daughter. He goes back now for three
months for bestowing similar cOurtesies upon
her mother.
The Assembly yesterday, on motion of
Mr.. Duguid, took the bill providing for a
Railroad Commission from the hands 'of the
Committee, and brought it before the House.
The vote was 70 to 20. This indicates a
strong kentiment in favor Of the bill.
Here is another interesting comparison upon
the salary question. If the bill agreed upon
yesterday becomes a law, the man whom the
city of New-York employs to keep the DIRT
out of the streets will be paid 5000 a year
or ~, 600 year more than the United States
Government pays its Judge for this great
District. And no one will claim that the
Superiptendent's salary Is too high.

Prisoner Shot.

DETROIT, April -Four convicts
made a desperate attempt to escape
from the State Prison at Jackson at
o'clock this morning. They were
employed on the agricultural imple-
ment contract of Wellington,
Cooley d Co., being in room near
the north wall with their keeper.
Suddenly one of them, 4 desperate
character named Lynch, sprang
upon the keeper, Knocked him
down and proposed to kill him. but
was prevented from doing so by one
of the other convicts, who said he
would watch the keeper while prep
erations were being made for their
escape and would kill him with a
large pair of tongs if he endeavored
to get up or give the alarm. The
other convicts tied three ladders
together and then all rushed through
the back door for the wall, against
which they placed the ladder. Lynch
was the first to ascend, and he had
reached the top of the wall and was
just going over when the alarm was
raised and the guards and others
were quickly on hand. One of the
wall guards shot Lynch three times,
when he fell dead. The other con-
victs made a slight resistance but
were soon overpowered. The arm
of one of the keepers was quite Sc
verely injured in the melee, and
two or three of the conviets, who as
sisted the authorities, also received
slight injuries.

Starved Herself To Death.

New YoaK, April 6.-An Tn der
taker to-day sent to the Bureau oi
Vital Statistics certificate signed
by a physician to the effect that
Mrs. Magdalena Mills, aged 81, had
died at 442 West Fifty-fourth street
from voluntary inanition.' The
Assistant Register returned the cer-
titicate with the request that the
physician furnish further informal
ton. Troubles and misfortune in
the family, together with the loss o.
$1,000, stolen from her, as is alleged
by an adopted daughter, caused Mrs
Mills to become Respondent and
finally insane. Her nephew, Petel
Wolf, took her to his home, 442
West Fifty-fourth street, and cared
for her. Suddenly, about three
weeks ago, she ceased to partake Of
any food. Every effort, short of vio-
lence, was made to induce her to eat
but she refused to swallow anything
except water. Nine days ago she
she refused water also, and from
that time she tasted. No effort was
madde to administer food by force
or to have her sent to the hospital
but she was allowed to starve herself
to death, according to the statement
made by Mr.. VOLTS family this
evening. The Coroner will make an
investigation.

The Effect of the War in Peru.

New York, April 5.-The latest
intelligence from Peru, to the 10th
of March. is to the effect that the
Chilians still occupy the country.
Pierola had coayoked the constitu-
ent assembly and before it he de-
| clared he will resign his dictatorship
in order to enable it TO make terms
with the Chilians. '!'he Chiiinns
declare they will hold nointercoursc
with him, and that they consider
the government OF DIR. Garcia Cal
deron the only one which is legally
established. He is now Provisional
President, and is busily occupied in
the preliminary labers of organizing
the Government.
Monterco succeeded in collecting
a million dollars from custom houses
in the North, and also made forced
loan in Mizillo, from which city
he led as soon rs he learned that
Colonel Martinez, with a strong ex-
petition was after him. He armed
all prisoners and took them with
him, but they deserted him before
he was half way to Cozamarca.
A war of races has broken out in
the Valley of Conete and thousands
of Chinese have been murdered.
The spirit of destruction has ex-
tended to property as well as life,
and the cane fields, sugar houses
and machinery of those who en-
ployed the Chinese have been ruin
ed. All foreigners have fed the
valley, which was one of the most
fertile and productive in Peru.
1t is feared that the adjacent val
ley of Chencha viii go next. The
Chilians refuse TO send troops to
quell the disturbances. A list of
fifty property owners has been issued
by the Chilians from each of whom
they demand the war contribution
in the sum of $4,000. Thus
81 100000 will be raised which is
the quota for the first month. The
Chilian government has determined
to collect a million per month for
the expense OF the army.
News from the republic of Colum-
bia is to the effect that on the 23d
of February a conspiracy was dis
covered in Bogota, the object of
which was to destroy the existing
order of things. -Four or five gen
erals are said to be compromised in
the enterprise. An attack was to be
made on the arsenal through the
assistance or conniyance of the Off
GERS of an artillery battalion. The
government took the precautions
and measures necessary and the
affair was crushed in the bud.

Held for Embezzlement.

PorTsTTLLE, April L. County
Commissioners Bower DEM and
Shortall (Greenbacker) swore out a
warrant against Commissioner Sam
uel Garrett (Greenbacker and Re-
former on the charge of embezzle-
ment. The facts were only discov-
cred on Friday night by Commiss-
ioner Boyer, and are as follows
On April /, 1879, Garrett issued
three county bonds to David Nor
gan, of st. Clair, for 500 each, and
this money was never accounted for.
An officer arrested Garrett at the
Stanhope Furnace this afternoon
and brought him to Pottsville, where
he waived hearing and filed 81 900
bail. 1t was Carrots son who several
days ago was put under bonds for
embezzlements while actingas Com
missioners' Clerk. Garrett can plead
the statue of limitation in this case,
but from his statements tonight he
will not do so. Heprofesses to have
an explanation to make, but gave
no intimation of its nature. The
charge falls with special severity
on him, as he was chiefly instru-
mental in bringing to justice the
embezzling Commissioners several
years ago, thereby establishing a
reputation for vigilance and honesty
which is now shattered.

Nearly Killed by His Insane wife

NEwcoMERsTowN, April 5.-Mrs
Silas Lappin, living near Leesburg
was hopelessly insane a short time
since, and has given her friends q
great deal of trouble by her actions.
One day last week she attempted
suicide by suspending herself with
a sheet to the bed-post, and was
discovered by hec friends and cut
down, just in time To gave her, as
life was almost extinct, and she re-
inained unconscious for long time.
On Saturday she suddenly disap-
peared. and it was feared that she
had accomplished her self-destfuc.
ton. The grief stricken husband
in his search for the partner of his
joys entered the smoke-house, when,
TO bis terror and his surprise, his
maddened wife sprang from be-
hind the door where she was con-
eealed. and rushing upon him with
all the fury Of O maniac, she dsala
him a furious blow On the head with
a mattock which she held lii her
hand, crushing his skull and telling
him to the ground. He now lies at
deaths door, and may never recover.
The case is very sad and singular
one, and attracts wide attention.
She will probably be removed to the
asylum.
