by large and enthusiastic audience. The light aud
engaging character Of tho music renders the opera
one TO be received with placid enjoyment But
the main relish in the performance camo
from the fact that Madame Gerster

capabilities as IN actress fairly adapted, and

perfection of her v0calizatiOn. The well-knOwn

song from Mireille," by GounOd The tempestuous
applause that followed broo&ed no refusal
and she responded with her customary

A Michigan farmer watched three
card -monte game, as played by the
camp follower of a circus, and soon
saw, of course, that the card with tho
bent corner was never the picture one
when a genuine bet was made on it.
By a simple process of reasoning he
concluded that by excluding the card
which the dealer intended the victim
should select, and choosing one of the
two Others instead, an even chance OF
winning could be obtained. He
wagered 500 on this theory, and won.
But he had to whip the gambler and
the stool pigeon in order to get away
with the money, as they fought hard
against losing.

WASHINGTON, July 1S.-The vote
on the Tariff bill is as yet uncertain.
Since the debate began and pros
pect for long session developed, some
difference of opinion has been mani
tested among the Republican Sena-
tors as to the propriety of passing
bill with amendments at the present
session. Yesterday notice was served
by Messrs. Hale and Ingalls,, in the
Senate, upon Mr.. Morrill,, who has
charge of the Revenue bill, that they
would oppose its consideration with
the Naval Appropriation bills. This
lack Of harmony led to the calling of
the caucus, this morning-at which
it was substantially agreed that the
Internal Revenue bill should have
precedence of all other business-for
the present, at least.
After the executive session, Sena-
tors Garland, Voorhees,, and others
on the Democratic side, intimated
that they proposed to continue the
discussion for an indefinite length of
time.
Mr.. Garland gave notice that the
resolution exten ding the appropria-
tions of last year until the 3lst of
July should, at tue proper time, be
amended SO as to extend until Oc-
tober /.
One of the best-informed Repub IL
can Senators said this evening that
if the debate on the Revenue bill
should continue for ten days, or two
weeks longer, he believed the bill
would be set aside, the appropriation
bills passed, and the whole matter o.
a reduction of taxation dropped un
til next session.
There has been a great deal ol
talk here, during the last two days,
about reduction of the tax on to.
bacco, the prevailing opinion being
that it is not improbable that this
tax will be reduced from l6 to l2c
or possibly to lOc pound.
Senators Malone, Cameron, of Penn
sylvania, and Ingalls,, on the Repub
lican side, are known to be in favol
of reduction of this tax. Should
the Democrats vote solidly for it, i
would of course be carried.
Senator Plumb, of Kansas, said thi
evening that if the amendments re
ducing the tax on tobacco should b.
Incorporated in the bill in full
} would be ultimately defeated, an
that the adoption Of such an amend
ment would open the way to tn
F, adoption of amendments of every de
scription, and that in the end the bi
would fail to become law. A stron
effort will be made to keep all RI
publicans in line upon the bill as PR
: pared by the party caucus, and if
the end it is defeated, to throw Il
responsibility upon the minority.

could place epitaphs on tombs with

of a parish in England, to-day, can
require the removal of an epitaph

such case arose some time ago, and
the desirability of his having discre-

Useful Statistics.

The Worcester times contains the following
statistics, which would never have seen the
light but for labor bureaus:
Colonel Wright, of the state labor bureau,
says in his report that the advance in the
price Of the following articles are contrasted
with the price of the samo articles in 1878, is
as follows:
Groceries have advanced in price 81 per
cent.
Provisions have advanced in price POI per
cent.
Fuel has advanced in price 31.1 per cent.
Dry goods have advanced in price per
ceut.
Boots have fallen in price 1.6 per cent.
Rents have advanced 35.1 per cent.
Board has advanced 1877 per cent.
On all these items of expense entering into
the cost of living, the average increase was
212 per cent.
Wages have not increased in the same ratio
as the necessaries of life. In some trades
there has been falling off since 1878 in the
boot and shoe trade Colonel Wright says
wages have decreased "A per cent; III cabinet
making the decrease has been IL per cent );
carpetings, 7.8 per cent; carriage making, 4
per cent; straw goods makers work, 81 per
cent less than they did in 1878. But on the
whole there has been an increase averaging
per cent. That is, the cost Of living is
2l.2 per cent more than it was in 1878, while
the advance in wages has only been per
cent.
