supernuous Lass, the Veteran.

Every once in a while that wretched old
reminiscence of miserable mess known as
Jefferson Davis rises from under the debris of
a happily lost cause, and in a feeble way ex-
ploits himself. His latest apparition was at
the unveiling Of the Johnston monument
at New Orleans a few days ago, when
he took occasion TO remark that "if Albert
Sidney Johnston had lived half an hour
longer he would have made Grant either
fugitive or prisoner" Excepting this ut
terance, the whole affair was in bad taste.
Johnston was a rebel, and dangerous one
n traitor, and bad one. To venerate his
memory is to pTolong his treason
down to dato, and criminate with
him all those who do ii, and who are mono
the less contemptibly disloyal to their country
because, unlike him, they are in no danger
of paying for their disloyalty with their
lives. Their post-bellum bravery is as cheap
as IL is loud but the post-bellum military
wisdom of Davis is funny. If any other
event Of history had been its own con.
trary, history would not be what il
is. For example, if Davis had
risen half hour earlier on certain morning
few years ago, he would not have been
caught with his petticoats on. Or If the Other
day at New Orleans he had been favored with
any glimmer of the fitness of things he would
have discovered that the mistake as between
himself and Johnston was not that John
ston died half hour too soon
but that Davis has lived several year
too long. If there is any good reason VIII,
he has not changed his balmOral skirts for
| winding sheet he should be made to show It

Almost an Opera House.

Washington city may yet have very
grand and beautiful opera house. Stranger
things have happened in cities not'half SO
large and in times when money and enterprise
were not half so plenty. 1t now appears that
we have lately escaped, by short turn,
actual beginning of operations with a
view to something magnificent in this
line in the vicinity of the Arlington
hotel. Max Strakosch (may he yet be our
benefactor) sayg that he secured the promise
of 100000 from parties in New York for tho
enterprise, and if those shrewd money
makers can afford to bring their wealth over
here to put in an opera house, then surely
there must be some at home that might
be used in the same way. If there is
place in the world where all the world is
waiting to so to the opera in a house COM
mensurato in size and appointments with
the other institutions and the cultivated pop
ulation, it is Washington. To see the beauti-
full plans that were made, it makes one hope
for q revival Of tho enthusiasm; and it is en-
couraging to be told that the plan is by no
means abandoned.
