Pearls of Thought.

The hours perish and are laid to
our charge.
How white are the fair robes of
charity.
That charity comes too late that
comes for the asking.
The reward Of doing ones duty is
the power to reform another.
A noble part of every true life is to
learn to undo what has been wrongly
done.
Envy is vice, which kecps.no holl-
day, but is always on the wheel work
ing its own disquiet.
1t is better to wear poor vest with
royal heart beneath it then to Wear
a royal vest and a beggar heart inside.
Men are frequently like tea-the
real strength and goodness are not pro-
perry drawn out until they have been
put in hot water.
We talk about men Of genius, Tut
are they more thar men of earnest
thought and action? Is not genius

and individuals seems to be the only
criterion by which the word distin-
guishes right from wrong.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
NELSON'S NEXT SEASON.

Madame Christine Nilsson, who arrived in
the city Tuesday evening, yesterday signed
contracts with Henry Il. Abbey to sing in
grand opera next season under his manage
ment. The other artists engaged for the
company are Sofia Scalchi contralto; VAL
leria, soprano; Campanini, tenor; Kaschman,
baritone;. and negotiations are pend
ing between Mr.. Abbey's agent in
Europe and several other of the
most distinguished artists now upon
the lyric stage, including q great conductor.
The intention is to import an entire Or
chestra, with new chorus and such II ballet
as that which is feature of grand operatic
representations in Paris. Mr.. Abbey's inten-
tion is to offer grand opera in the principal
cities of America upon the same scale as the
European cities have it. The season will
open on the twenty-second of October in the
New Metropolitan opera house, at Broadway
and Thirty-ninth streets, New York, when
Faust" will be sung, with Nilsson as Mar
guerite.
Dscredit has been thrown upon the state
ment that Mr.. Abbey would really carry out
his promise to present Nilsson in opera next
season; but it appears that he was aware OF
his ground all the time. 81 had assured Mr.,
Abbey carly in the season" said Madame
Nilsson yesterday, 'as early as our California
trip, that would sing for him next year il
he secured the arrangement Of the new house
aud neither of us thought it necessary to have
contracts signed to that effect, each trusting
in the other and would not now but for the
malicious attacks of Mr. Mapleson in the
New York papers layinga all sorts of mean and
cowardly matters at Mr.. Abbey's door, ant
especially the fact that he had no contract
with me. Both Mr. Abbey and myself nov
take pleasure in showing our signatures Il
the document, which settles the mattel
beyond all questions"
Nine Nilsson expresses herself in yer.
plain LANGUAGE as to Mr.. Mapleson.
81 don't what Mr. Mapleson wants OF
me-" she said. 81 don't want him, nor do
think the American people want him. The

his name is identified Tho time has como
for the republicans Of tho north to inquire
why it is that Mr.. Blaine and his organs arc
found endeavoring to restore bourbon rule in
Virginia That state is tho first to enforce the
rights of men under the amended constitu-
tion without federal interference Mr..
Blaine opposed the "lorcc bill" of
1870. Was it because he did not
want the bourbons hurt in the south9
If not why does he now oppose coali-
tion which only hurts that element2 If he
sticks at the debt question, where were his
conscientious scruples when he aided Massey,
ashameless and avowod rcpudiator, as against
John 8. Wise for congressman at large? What
responsibility rests upon him or any other
citizen of Maine or Washington for the man
ner IN which Virginia shall construe her own
obligations2 Those who would turn Vir-
ginia back to the rule of caste and class would
invite disasters for the future which can
only TO be measured by tho harm which
would come through it's rccapture of the ma
tion. The north cannot unaided prevent
bourbon restoration. What sort of n republic
can is he who openly labors to make the south
again solid2 The issue cannot be lodged.
Even Mr.. Blaine will find it impossible to
play the double character of republican in
the north and bourbon in Virginia. We are
aware that the truth is very unconventional
nowadays in the discussion ofpolitics. But fit
is consistent with propriety for the New York
organ of Mr.. Blaine to scatter broadcast all
sorts Of ofinjurious untruths concerning the Vir-
ginia campaign in the interest of the bourbon
democratic party, it cannot be so very much
out of order to send out little truth to keep
it company.
The bourbons cannot carry Virginia. But
those who try to restore them to power there
cannot be trusted to give honest counsel
against them elsewhere. Forewarned is fore
armed.

THE country may take a holiday. Mr.,
Gould has assured somebody that he Clocks
for easier money" If money IS going to be
made any easier by him than heretofore some
of the rest may have n chance. lie also
thinks there is going TO be an improvement
in "the better class" of securities. Hedoubt-
less refers to reform securities, for the better
class Of our people would have no other. The
reasons why Mr. Gould banks heavily on
good times are " that the balance of trade is in
our favor, railroad earnings are large and
constantly increasing, aud everything points
toward prosperity" The increase of railroad
earnings will help fifteen or twenty men, and
may boom the stock market; but as to its pro-
noting the general prosperity there may be
an honest doubt

A Curious Atrocity.

OF all the barbarities visited upon eastern
women nothing compares with the inhuman-
ity exhibited toward number of Turkish
and Egyptian ladies recently at Cairo. Lady
Dufferin gave ball Ia the opera house, and
one of the galleries was reserved for the vcled
beauties. A thin gauze curtain was stretched
across. The ball was q fast and furious affair,
and for the first time the eastern women had
a chance to sec how the western barbarians
of both sexes conducted themselves when to-
gether. When the dancing began the eastern
ladies went almost wild in their excitement ;
the curtain was torn full of holes, and when
they saw the quadrilles and waltzes shrieks
of Inshallah," "Allah kerimm were heard
from the gallery. There is world ofsympathy
between women of all nationalities, and when
the Turkish ladies saw what an uncommonly
hilarious time their western sisters were
having they too wanted to be emancipated
just little. Fancy woman observing a
first ball without being allowed to take part
in it-and talk about Bulgarian atrocities
after that.
Lady DufIerin is making Cairo very gay.
Lord DufEerin is an inimitable story teller,
and this is one of his favorites. When he came
home from India to be married. in arriving
at the little railway station in Ireland, where
he was to get off, there was no carriage to
meet him. He got into a common jaunting
car however, and going along asked the
driver if there was any news. "Not u bit"
he responded, Except that pretty Kate
Hamilton is to marry that one-eyed Duffern." :"

Interview with senator Kellogg.

Ex-senator Kellogg said to reporter
last night that in few days he ex-
pectcd to be able TO make a statement
which would be complete denial of the
allegations concerning him set forth in the
Price affidavit. He would show from the
records in the Postofiice department that he
never indorsed an application for expedition
of service on any mail route, except for one
steamboat route on Red river in 1876 or 1877.
He would also. show what was the arrange
ment made by the prosecution with Price,
who, he said, had been promised immunity
for his services in this matter.
Mr.. Kellogg said furthermore that the pro-
ceeding against him was not begun with the
consent of the attorney general. Messrs. Mer-
rick and Kcr had he said taken advantage OF
the absence of Mr.. Brewster from the city to
go before the grand jury, and counsel for the
prosecution had admitted that this step was
rendered necessary by the testimony of Gen
Brady. He added that if an indictment were
found against him, he should ask to have the
case tried Immediately after the conclusion OF
the pending cases.
