THE IDEALS.
The Stockbridge course will be opened to-
night by the Ideals with Auber's charming
opera OF Fra Diayolo," with very strong
cast. The hero. Fra Diavolo. is brigand,
who is discovered in the first scene personat-
ing the Marquis of San Marco, in which dis
guise he has been tracking the course Of an
Engilsh traveller aud his lady, Lord Rocburg
ana Lady Pamela lord and Lady Allcash), on
q tasleful blending of business and pleasure,
MS OBJECT being TO rob both parties Of their
casn ana valuables, and to take my lords
place in the affections of my lady This Lord
Allcash is intended to convey the conti-
mental conventional idea of the travelling
brlton, and, as dressed and acted by
Ronconl,sis fair satire on the ass of English
men seen on board the Rhine steamers, and In
.ne highways and byways of Europe, and yet
is as little like the true English gentleman as
rh1noceros is like greyhound Lady ALI

THE European Diapers bring some "details


The European papers bring some details
OF the preparations for the coronation of the
car which did not get into the cablegrams,
as for instance, the facts that the Moscow
town council has voted 100000 rubles for
the fetes of the occasion; that million
handkerchiefs will be distributed, with the
figure of the goddess of abundance"
printed thereon; that the Kremlin will be
Illuminated by electricity; that the corona
ton throne is of black oak with antique
Slavonic ornaments carved thereon, costing
10000 rubles, or about $4,000; that the
capony over the throne is to be decorated
with imperial eagles and the escutcheons of
the SO Russian provinces, and that the i'm
perial seats are upholstered in velvet with
heavy hangings OF gold. In order to placate
the people by giving them good chance to
get booty, there will be 16 fountains, each
spouting 10000 bottles of beer, without the
bottles. What more can the nihilists ask
than that?

THE Argus questions Mr.. Reeds state
ment that "the Democratic plan was to de-
feat both the Senate and House bills by
talk.' The statement is true. The Demo
Gratis earnestly sought to defeat revision Of
the tariff by the Forty-Seventh Congress.
They were opposed to both the Senate and
House bills. When the Senate bill came
down to the lower body in the last hours Of
the session they opposed its reference to a
conference committee because they wanted
to load it with amendments that the Senate
would have neither time nor inclination to
adopt. Their plan was to discuss it item by
item, to waste as many days as possible, and
then to send it back to the Senate too late
for that body to consider the changes made.
That was the Democratic scheme. Because
it was foiled by Mr.. Reed they are angrily
striking at him.

SECRETARY FoLGER is memorable. He
has issued the mandate that to future i'm
pressions of the new five cent coin the word
cents" mast be added, and not all the per-
suasive eloquence and logic of the mint Off
cials were effectual in turning him from his
decision. The matter is one whose settle
ment rests entirely with Secretary Folger,
and when he has reached determination
in regard to it there is of course no more to
be said. Nor can it be disputed that it is
better for each coin to bear full descrip-
ton OF its denomination, there being people
in this world whose ignorance and whose
capacity for laundering amount to kind Of
genius. At the same time, it will be the
opinion of the sensible public that any one
who would take the new five cent piece for
anything else than what it was would de-
serve to be'the loser from his mistaken con-
fdence

THE New York World endeavors to show
that Virgins borrowed largely from the his
tory of the past in making his prediction of
great storm for this week. 1t says that
an inspection of newspaper files for ten
years past shows storm on every 9th OF
March: Thus on March 8, 1872, there was
rain and snow over the lake region, Middle
States and New England, with a "goodly
sized" storm Oh Lake Huron in addition.
The next years storm on the same day of
the month is described as Every severe"
over the same region. Another severe storm
was credited to the same date and area for
1874. In 1876 there was storm, but a
eight one. There was none in 1876 east
of the Mississippi, but on March 10 there
was severe one in the upper valley of that
river. The storm of March 0, 1877, herea-
bouts is recorded as "violent." The next
year on that day brought "severe" storm
with tornadoes throughout the Southwest
only. In 1870 March turned up calm and
uuclouded everywhere. The year 1880, as a
concomitant of political primaries held about
March 9, brought light storm with snow.
In 1881 there was a severe storm in Kansas
and westward, which reached the lake on
the succeeding days, March 10 and IL.
Last year, as many will remember, ''Wig-
gins day" celebrated what Gen. Hazen calls
"a severe storm over the lake region and
Middle States from the Lower Missouri
| Valley"

This seems to be a remarkably unlucky
year for distinguished men. Although we
are only in its third month, the obituary list
is already abnormally long, and scarcely a
day passes without its being further ex-

There are few English historians whose
writings are at once so luminous, so COM
prehensive, so accurate, SO thorough and so
entertaining as those of Mr.. Green. He
combined the erudition, research and philo-
sophie impartiaIity of the modern historic
skill with more than ordinary power of lu-
cid and interesting expression, and his
death at comparatively early age, and ap-
parently with many years of usefulness be-
fore him, is a serious loss to Anglo-Saxon
literature.

WORD reaches England from Florence
that the Ponte Vechio-the ancient bridge
over the Arno-is shortly to be pulled down
because unsafe. It is said to be in danger Of
being carried away by the Arnoin flood time.

Morris of the Society for the Protection of
Ancient Buildings, "the unrivalled histori
cal interest and artistic beauty of this world
famed bridge, with its three graceful arches
crowned by picturesque group of houses,
over which is carried the long passage con-
Meeting the Pitt and Uffizi palaces. Not
only the arches of the bridge, but portions of
some of the houses, are still preserved ex-
actly as designed by Taddeo Gaddi, and
built in A. D. 1362-an object of the great
est beauty both when seen close at hand
and as one of the chief features in the glori-

is required to save the bridge the founda

THAT police bill is favorito topic with

Tho Smallest Locomotive.
Railwdu World.

The smallest locomotive ever built In the
United States for regular work was turned
out by N. NJ. Buck a. Co., Of St. Louis, re-.
Gently, and shipped to the Edmee plantation,
1t: Charles parish, La. This little engine
o was designed by and built under the SUPER
vision OF Mr.. Jay Noble, and Is as perfect a
piece OF mechanism as one would wish 10
see. Its dlmlnuLiveness may be understood
from the following facts respecting 1t: Twen.
ty-one and one-half inches gauge; diameter
of cylinder, six and one.quarter inches;
stroke, ten inches; four wheels, diameter Of
driving wheels, twenty-four inches; height
of engine to top Of boiler, four feet seven
inches; weight, without water, $3.50 pounds.
The engine has link motion, and Is made of
the best materials throughout. The boiler
Is made Of one-quarter inch iron, and il thir-
ty inches In diameter In the barrel. IL Is
provided with an orm patent pop-valye, has
q steel firebox, and is fed by two inspirators.
The tank Is made Of No. 10 iron, has four
wheels OF diameter Of sixteen inches, a
capacity Of $50 gallons, and weighs, without
water, I,400 pounds. In experimenting with
the engine before IL was shipped, IL was
found to act very obedlently under the hand
Of the engineer.
