MUSIC and THE DRAMA.
ITALIAN OPERA-CARMEN.

Since Miss Minnie Hauk created the part of Car
men here three ars ago. this public has been IA
vorcd with nearly every imaginable coucep-
ton Of the character OF Prosper Merimees gypsy
girl from that of Miss Kellogg who represented her
as a vulgar dem rep, ranting about the stage, and
making the air thick with flying crockery, to that
of Mile. dc Belocca, who behaved like lady's maid
masguerading in Spanish dress, and was chiefly
remarkable for pettishness and intellectual vacuity
None of them however, good as the first In
Mermees story the character is merely sketched in

much was left TO be filled in by the hbrctist still
more by the artist TO whom the character was en-
trusted What there of it in the original, how
ever, was unquestiOnably disagreeablo. There
Carmen was young person of unusual beauty, but
totally devoid of moral sense who regarded cutting
a mans throat as the simplest way of disembar-
RAISING herself of him, and who was useful because
of her skill in Turing rich travellers into the tolls of
a band of brgands. In the opera she appears
in a less disagreeable light, for this side
of her nature is hardly shown at ALL She is pOr-
traycd as passionate, but tickle and Eighty in her
love affairs, while the plot is made to turn OH the

Southern grace and attractiveness, and the
stubborn resolve with which she meets the fats
which she believes tobe inevitable-these have been
all commented upon often enough in these columns,
and need no further description now. Her imper-
sonation has lost nothing of its power, and her
triumph last night was as great as it was
when she was first heard in the
part. She appeared to be in much better voice than
on Monday night which was possibly because the
music OF Carmen lies more within her compass than
that of Lisa. There was no evidence of fatigue or
straining and the quality of her voice was far
swoeter and more sympathetic.

there come similar words of approval, although A..

nominated for Senator by boilers from the Scna-
tOrial Convention, still persists III his candidacy
Great is the harmony among the Democratic
brethren Here is The ElmUG Free Press savagely
commenting on the fact that there was no mention
made Of Hancock at Albany: General Hancock
is talked of from end Of the country to the
other as the Democratic Presidential candidate in
1854. Here. however, Is a distinct notice to him

of October -. 1875, in which Sas Seymour the
present Republican candidate for State Engneer,was
charged with having been disnis ed from the service
of the Erie Railway for alleged completely with
tractors and with having been dishouCrably con-
uccted with the Erie Canal lettings of 1850. This
paragraph of The 1rgas has been ndustrously cir
culaIcd by the Democratic newspapers. Now
comes The AiblBg journal of October IS
and shows that the article was nor
an extract from fhc journal. but one copied by The
journal from The AibaHy atlas, a newspaper which

rur lTrfvpT on THF BOTHNLl.

There il thus far no adequate explanation OF
the ATTEMPT to fire the Bothnia on Sunday
rioht. No proof has been found that 1t was
the work of lrishmcn carrying out the alleged
Rossa Motley of fighting with weapons that in
volvc no personal danger to the fighter and
vet. in view of the recent uttcrances of these
men. il was natural to suspect them at once.
The one reason for not doing so il that thus far
no one of them seems to have shown any
greater personal courage than is involved
in talking dynamite to reporters and
Collecting skirmishing funds which never pay
the expenses of any diminishing. The men
,vbo visited the Bothnia were evidently pre-
nared for emergencies. Perhaps they were, as
ouc of the Bothnias officers suggested river
thieves who had scheme for causing n panic ;
rcrhaps they were the instruments OF some
crack drained fellows who think that the cause
or Ireland is to be helped in this way What
o,,er they were, it is To he hoped they, or their
ir,itotors. if they have any, may be caught
and nut to breaking stones as moral and III
tclcctual discipline they greatly need.
Meantime it is satisfactory to see that there
is no disposition on the part of the public to
attach undue importance to acts which may be
those simply of professional criminals anxious
only 10 get an extra good chance for nights
stealing. There is not the slightest symptom
of n public scare, and not the slightest reason
f,.t one. The consgnments of freight to the
European steamers are examined with such
care that it is practically impossible that ex-
plosiyes should be shipped on board, and the
effect of such attempts as that made on the
Rothnio is obviously, only to annoy the COM
pany and injure its property. There is no
reason, therefore, for solicitude upon the part
of intending passengers.

After the burning of the Brooklyn Theatre with
its terrible loss of ife the building laws of this city
were amended and new regulations enforced in the
alteration and construction of places of amusement.
WalIaek's Theatre, now rapidly approaching COM

disaster, and the salutary effect on the Building
Department is fully illustrated in this work.

JOHN KLLLY As SCApFGOt7

Mr.. John Kelly is a man to be pitied. Do
what he will, he is made the scapegoat of the
party by the CenturiOns and their organs. Last
year the Anti-Iammany factions-nOw more or
less united in the organization of the Centn-
rions-coaxcd and coddlcd him into a union
with them, 10y the terms of which they divided
the offices, admitted Tammany to seats in the
State Convention and representation in the
State Committee, and condOned the anti-Rob-
inson bit and all the past. But though Mr..
Kelly's special candidates all ran behind-which
would seem to indicate treachery on the part of
Anti-Tammany rather than OF Tammany-and
the general ticket upon which the union was
made ran far ahead, the defeat of the latter was
attributed by all the Anti-Tammany people to
John Kellys treachery. Hence the newly in
vented County Democracy to put down John
Kelly and extirpate Tammany.
And now we observe signs that they are pre-
pairing to use him again in that capacity. They
have accepted and Endorsed his candidate for
District-Attorney. But they say Kelly and
Tammany are not in earnest in dominating Mr..
McKeon and do not mean to support him that
they have put him up simply for trading pur-

The hundredth anniversary CT COrnwalliss
surrender was celebrated yesterday with cere-
monies entirely appropriate, and marked
throughout with excellent taste. The pres
ent cordial and even atfectiOnate relations
between the English people and our own made
it task of some delicacy, perhaps, to give the day
its due observance and still to say and do moth
ing that should be out Of harmony with the pecu-
liary friendly spirit of the time. The Presidents
address and his order to salute the British flag
fulfilled completely the ideal of the occasion.
The address, while it naturally began with n
reassertion of the principles whose trl-
umph the victory at Yorktown repre-
scented, quickly passed to an expression OF the
National feeling toward England, strong at all
times, but ruling every heart to-day when
the sympathy of the English people, and OF
the Queen in particular, is so fresh III
our memories. OF the order given by
the President to salute the British
flag, ain the trust and confidence OF
"peace and good will between the two
" countries for all the centuries to come, and
especially as a mark of the profound respect
entertained by the American people for the
"illushious sovereign lady and gracious lady
"who sits upon the British throne" it can
only lie said that the American people will be
thankful to the President for having given, in
their name, such adequate and truthful ex-
preston of the National good will and graft
