FRANCESCA DA R1M1N1

The audience which heard Mr. Barrett at CarIl's Opera House last evening was a grand one in numbers and marked for it's intelli. pence many of our notable citizens being present. As the play in which MT. Barrett appeared, Francesca dR Rimini," has been somewhat severely criticised in many in stances, such grand attendance vas hardly to be expected. Every desirable, in fact every available, seat was occupied, and to draw an audience which will test the great limits of the Carll Opera House is testimon- ial to one's fame that one may justly be proud of. Francesca da Rimini is Q play in no way apt to delight the senses of reader Of modern novels and the close is notS sweetened by the customary happy
 denouement. On the contrary, the bloody
 hand of revenge triumphs until the promi- :nent members of the cast are carefully re- moved, the death of the star himself winding
 up the play. The whole tragedy was carried out in manner which did l justice H to the story of medieval times. An audience of the same period
 would have had no cause for complaint. MT. Barrett's rendering of the character of ssLanciotto," the hunchback, was masterly thing, and the many times he was called for and appeared showed how highly his efforts were appreciated. While there are but few portions in which he has the opportunity of which he can rise in portrayinR the human passions, they stand out
 the more prominent for this reason. Like hero suffering under the misfortune of having deformed body he depicted a no- bility and gentleness of characterin forcibles and artistic manner worthy of the highest
 praise The support Was excellent through
 out, Mir. Louis James doing fine piece of
 acting as the court fool, meriting large
 share of the honors which fell to him..
 Mir. Otis Skinner as tsCount Paoloh
 was all that could be desired in
 the character. Miss Marie WainUright sus-
 taired the character Of .sFrancesca" with art,
 intelligence, grace and prep0ssessing appear
 anae, and Miss Addie PIunkett that of Rift
 ta, the maid. with 8 peculiar brightness that
 was very pleasing The costumes were rich
 and elegant Tragedy as rule has had but feR followers in this city, but an occasional
 performance of such excellence Rs that of
 last evening is worthy of the most liberal patronage.

AMERICAN THFATER

large audience was present at this cosy little amusement resort last evening and in the warm and comfortable quarters enjoyed a fine exhibition of variety talent. The en- tertainment opened with 8 laughable farce entitled ''Soph1e's Supper" in which Billy Williams. late of Williams and Sully, took the principal part in his well known happy style. Mir. Williams by the way is to remain perma- nently at the American, and there is little doabt that the great popularity he has won in his short engagements will continue to render him fsvorite with the hsbitues of the American. The Winstanley Bros, Joe and Annie Burgess and Little Todd, the German wonder. were very good in their specialties. Emerson and West gave an excellent exhibi- ton of German comedy, and Monsieur Leon- zo's juggling won applause. Kelly and Mar tin, in their original creation ''Trifings," made themselves special favorites with the audience. The afterpiecs, s'Our Boarders," :" was very funny and dismissed an audience that was thoroughly well pleased. Matinees will be given Wednesdays and Saturdays, and this weeks bill is deserving of good patron ao

THE CONCEPT AT THE ATHENEUM,

An attendant at the concert at the Athe. neum last evening writes: It is safe to say that of all the amateur or semi-professional entertainments held in this city for the past few years, the concert given last evening by subscription under the conductorship of MT. Chandler has been the chief. A delicacy of touch and an air of virtuosoism character ized the performance. It commended itself to connoisseurs entirely. The trio, op. No. 8, 0 minor, for piano, violin and cello. was beautifully given. The instrumentation of Mir. Hall was ali that could be required for a parlor, but he seemed to lack force for concert room. Mir. Herman's violin was more prominent and the cello was less dis tinguished. As 8 whole it was a beau tifnlIy rendered piece and had more v1gor been put into it it would have warranted an opera house Mrs. Belle Cole has beauti- ful mezzo soprano voice and is worthy of higher effort than the programme laid out for her. An amateur would have admired MT. HartdeRen's cello, but he failed to put into it the life of an enthusiast. The trio in G major was beautifully produced, doing credit to all. The Fisher song, while excit- ing applause, is so unworthy of the efforts of Mrs Cole as to hardly attract attention. Mr.
 Halls ''Etude de Concert" was thoroughly given. His Chopin" was 8 success to the majority, but disappointment to the ini- fiatad

Tariff on Works Of Art.
TDIl MIL nG4

The barbarously high tariff charged on
works of art introduced in the United
States is attracting more and more atten-
ton from the American press. 1t is stated
that Mr.. Herkomer, on arriving in New
York, was mulcted of about $500, or e1OO
before he could be permitted to land few
portraits in oil and etchings which he had
brought with him. Mr.. Seymour Haden,
who had made arrangements to lecture in
New York, had been obliged to modify his
intended course, and to issue a notice
stating that in order to properly
illustrate and elucidate his lectures on art
to American audiences he finds that he
would be obliged to pay $4,000 in cash to
the custom house officers of the United
States government. 1t must be understood
that Mr.. Herkomer pays and Mr.. Haden
refuses to pay these sums for works which
they do not propose to sell, but merely to
let the American public look at. The
abuse touches the Americans, therefore, at
the point where they are most sensitive
their indisputable hospitality. The tariff
on works of art is one of the most indie
feasible of American protective duties.
The tariff commission openly declares that
it is raised for the protection of native
art, and we shall be much surprised if the
American artists tolerate much longer so
unpleasant piece of official patronage

FINANCE & COMMERCE.

Sr. PAUL, Feb. 81, 1SS3.-An depart
ments of trade here still feel the effects of
the late storms, and will not probably re-
cover fully for several weeks. Trade, how
ever, though slowly, is surely picking up.
Collections, like business. have been be-
hind, but are now showing signs OF i'm
proving. Wheat, during the week, he's
been rather firm and somewhat improving.
Other grains have been in moderate de-
mand on a quiet market. Barley has been
Gull. Rye without much change. Florida
oranges are out of market. Apples have
advanced to S350a4. Dressed hogs are
offered freely. with lower tendency.
Veal is higher. Cattle are in better sup
ply. and choice steers are higher. In pro-
visions there are good many changes.
Butter is dull. Dressed hogs have lower
tendency. Live hogs are coming in more
freely. Sheep are scarce. Mess pork is
improving. Boots, shoes, lImber, furs,
lrv goods finished iron and steel and
leather are without change. Steel goods,
which means forks, hoes and rakes, which
have been a good deal demoralized for
three or four weeks by the savage cuts
made here and in st. Louis have now
oracej up, and are being held firm at from
80 to per cent. to 60, of list.
Potatoes are still quoted at Coo but this
Is nominal. In groceries quite a number
of changes have been made IN the figures.
Several articles under the head of dried
fruit have advanced. Canned oysters have
also slightly advanced. Half, and one inch
cordage has gone up &c. Indrugs, paints
ana oils business IS improving slowly.
Lumber and furs are firm
and steady. Dry goods are
rather quiet, and without change. Eggs,
turkeys and chickens have advanced. In
money mates there is a slight improve
saaa{. Counter business is a little more
active ana the movement of money into |
Che interior to move wheat with has COM
nenced again and the amount is daily in
7ceasing. The receipt of wheat from the
;iferens wheat centers of the state are |
largely incr eased.
