New-York tribune., 1882-03-09

Mr. Mapleson says that the time has come for
the public to make up its mind what kind OF
opera 1t will have and what it is willing TO pay
for it, He can supply goOd-all-rOund opera,
star opera with one great singer unsupported,
or constellation opera in which the stage shall
be studded with stars as the sky Is at night. If
the public is willing to pay enough money 1t
can take its choice, but the London manager is
getting sick of So opera. Still, he must admit
that such opera as he has been giving much of
the time is not cheap at SO or even "a lower
price. What might do for Omaha is not good
enough for Gotham. If Mr.. Maplesen cannot
give us what we want, someone else will.
The political kettle In Brooklyn is boiling.
Politicians over there do not have to wait for
campaigns in order to get stirred up. There
beems TO be a good deal of distress In both
parties because Mayor Low and the Commits
bioners whom he has appointed persist in turn
Ing deaf ear to partisan Oracles. In every big
city there Is a class of men who think the whole
municipal structure must tumble to pieces If
they do not lend their aid to hold 1t up Brook

New-York tribune., 1882-03-09

The credulity of the London journals is in
creasng. The rumOrs concerning conven-
ton between Germany and France for the an
nexation of Luxembourg were so watery that
they burst in air as soon rs they bubbled up in
the frothy columns of The ST. JdmeS'S Gazette;
and now the so-called leading journal, envious
of an industry which recently enabled some OF
its contemporaries to conclude an offensive
aud defensive alliance between the Slavs and
the Celts, explains with an air of preternatural
sagacity why General Skobelelf has been talk
ing so wildly in two European capitals 1t is
because the Russian Minister Of the Interior IS
anxious to become Minister of Foreign
Affairs, and accordingly has induced his friend
Skobeletf to make things so lively throughout
the Continent that the Gar will he forced to
call upon his main adviser to set the diplomacy
of the Court to rights. Precisely how the ap-
pointment of the most brilliant diplomatlst OF
Panslavism will allay the cOmmotion caused
by the taunts and boasting of its greatest
soldier we are not informed. more natural
explanation of SkObelef1's heated harangues
would be-unlimited champagne.
New-York tribune., 1882-03-09

Substantial progress was made in the Legls-
lature yesterday on one of the most important
subjects which will come up during the pres
ent session. At joint meeting OF the Canal
Committees of the two Houses after long
discussion, a resolution was adopted In
structing the two committees to report
the free canal amendment favorably to the
Senate and Assembly respectively. The
amendment, having thus been commended
by the standing committees to the Com
mittees of the Whole, is in a fair way
of being speedily adopted. In case it is
adopted by this Legislature it will be sub
mitted to the people for ratification at the
general November election this year. The gist
of the amendment is in these words: No
tolls shall hereafter be imposed on persons or
property transported on the canals. =.
"The Legislature shall annually by equitable
"taxes make provision for the expenses of the
superintendence and repairs of the canals"

A charming trait is related of the German
Crown Prince. He and the Crown Princess
often visit the village schools Of Bornstedt and
Eiche, near POtsdam. On Wednesday last he
unexpectedly made his appearance at the Born
stedt school. and entered the room occupied by
the third class for the purpose of seeing a
newly appointed master, of whose method of
teaching his Imperial Highness wished to Judge
III person. He then prOce eded into the next
room Tor the purpose of inspecting the first
class. and hardly entered it when messenger
arrived with a telegram summoning the master
(Mr- Matnias) to come to his mother, then dy-
Ing in village near Spandau. The Crown
Prince insisted that the master should in
stantly depart in obedience to the last request
OF his mother. But how can | leave the
children!" objected the master. Never mind.

Len Pollard, the Middle Park scout and pros
pector. has been having a new and novel expe-
rience with bear. The Grand Lake Proprietor
tells the story. It appears that while out alone
on the range Leonard struck some bear tracks.
Not being troubled with any desires to interview
his bearship. he turned and went in another d.
rection. but he suddenly came on to bruin, who
advanced to meet him. Len sprang quickly
into tree, and was Mortified to see Mr. Bear
climbing after him. What to do he knew not,
but suddenly bright idea popped into his head
He had lately been reading Robinson Crusoe,
and Fridays adventure with the bear came to
his mind. To act likewise was Lens plan. so
he crawled out to the extremity of a large
limb. and when the bear started to follow. he
teetered the limb, and was pleased to see the
bear cling as if fearful of falling. The expert
ment had worked SO well thus far that he con-
Guided to continue the experiment. So like
Friday. he crawled to the extremity of the
limb and dropped to the ground. and then sta
toning himself at the foot of the tree he awaited
the bear. The bear backed to the trunk of the
tree, and in the same manner slowly descended
to the ground. When the creature was almost
down Len gave utterance to terrific YELL
which frightened the poor animal SO badly that

A One-Lcgged Wild Man.

From the South Australian Chronicle.
wild man of fierce aspect and peculiar shape
has been discovered by travellers in forest sixty
miles west of Onka paringa. The trunk of his
body terminates in single leg, which is more
than twice the thickness of an ordinary leg. The
heel of single foot projects some five or six
inches behind the ankle bones, while the foot
itself is broad and flat and of extraordinary
length. So quick is the man in his actions that
he can get over the ground with much greater
rapidity than a man can run blessed with two
stout legs. He moves in series of long hops.
and he has been seen to hop across streams
twelve and fifteen feet wide. The attempts of
travellers to effect the mans capture proved in
ef1ectual.
