This WeeE's Operas.

The closing performances of the Emma
Abbott company will include Gounod's
opera of 'Romeo and Juliet" which will
be given on Monday, with Emma Abbott
in her celebrated role of Juliet, and Mr..
Castle as the romantic Romeo. In this
opera Miss Abbott has achieved a great
reputation, and the music and dramatic
situations of the work bring out her strong
est points as singer and actress. There
are many beautiful gems in the opera
among which are the exquisite waltz ''Let
Ne Dream On" and the serenade of the
page. The balcony duet, the parting be-
between the lovers, the marriage act, the
potion scene, and the dramatic end of the
work, are all set to music in Gounod's
grandest style. The love scenes are great
ly enhanced by the charming musical &C.
compartment. This will doubtless attract
a large and brilliant audience.
This is Abbott's pet opera, and she en-
tiers into its rendition con Gmore. Probably
no opera in her entire repertory affords
her such perfect opportunity for the dis
play Of her delicious vocalization and her
remarkable dramatic powers. 1t was the
great role of the lamented Nelson, and
from her Miss Abbott gathered many fine
ideas. Her love scenes in Romeo and Ju-
het are acknowledged to be the most per-
feet of any given on the operate or dra-
matte stage,and her action in these special
scenes is worthy of the closest study. 1t is
most perfect counterfeit of the genuine
passion, and shows in a remarkable degree
the wonderful power of art.
On Tuesday Auber's sparkling opera
comique Fra Diavolo' will be given with
Emma Abbott as Zerlinda, and VIM. Castle
in his famous role of Fra Diavolo, which he
has performed over 1000 times. The 9TH
er roles will be filed by Miss Annandale,
Stoddard, Gilbert and Hall.
At the matinee on Wednesday Doni-
zetti's opera elixir of Love- will be Civ
en- here for the first time and the manage
ment has reduced the prices to seventy
five cents to all parts of the house, to en-
able all to attend. The music is exceed
ingly beautiful and brilliant, and the opera
is one of the best works of the great COM
poser.
Wednesday evening will be Abbott's
farewell appearance this season and the
entire opera of La Sonnambula will be
sung with Emma Abbott in her great role
of Amina. In addition to the opera of La
Sonnambula, the celebrated Miserere
scene from Trovatore will be given with
Julie Rosewald as Leonora. This roper
tory should fill the house at every perform
ance. Good seats are now on sale at the
box Office.

FRANCE.

LONDON, March "a correspondent of
the Daily Ne,es at Paris says: At cabinet
council, Ferry, prime minister, de-
clared that revision of the constitution
was inopportune, especially as the senate
had shown conciliatory disposition by its
veto On the motion offered by General
Robert, with regard to the Orleans princes.
He said he would oppose revision when it
was moved in the chamber of deputies. He
would urge that revision could only use
fully come on when the senate would not
see in it menace to its existence.
HAvRE, March 3.-The British govern
ment has asked for the extradition of
Walsh.
PARIS, March 3.-Henri Rochefort has
written to Victor Hugo asking him to use
his influence with the government in favor
of Byrne. The authorities are being urged
to admit Byrne to bail in substantial
sum.
1t is said an agreement has been reached
to prolOng the powers of the European
commission on the Danube for 5wenty-one
years.

ST. LOUIS, March 3.-Latest advices
from Sulphur Springs, the scene OF the
riot and strike among the laborers at the
iron ore dump yesterday, are, that two or
three of the ringleaders were arrested to-

st. Louis are also quiet, and there has
been no further trouble or disturbance
among the lawless element there since yes

ing that none of their men were concerned
in the fights of Thursday night, and yes

action, and will do everything in their
power to preserve peace.

Mestdue:'s Tourists,

The Tourists in the Pullman palace car,

pressed predictions of failure from mana

prosecutions, which were alluded to briefly
by Senator Van Wyck, has become noto-
rious. The fees of the very Indifferent
counsel employed to conduct the case
amount to about $500 day. Brewster
himself pays no attention to the matter
save to order the payment of these fees
and other expenses. In every detail, small
as well as large, the government is mulcted
in extravagant amounts. The offices of the
department are furnished in a style that
casts the stories of oriental magnifcence
into the shade, and the attaches ride around
Washington in carriages drawn by horses
paid for by the government
The doings of Landaulet Williams
pale into insignifcance beside
those of Brewster, the difference being that
Williams profted personally from his lar
ceny, while Brewster does not. The gov
eminent has to foot the bills just the same
and it makes little difference to the tax
payers whether the money is stolen Of
thrown away.
The conduct Of the department of justict
by Mr. Brewster has brought more Disgrace
upon the administration of President
Arthur than anything else connected will
it. Brewster himself is man possessing
| few traits of character that fit him for thu
place. He wishes to be an aristocrat but
has the instincts of sot. He tries to APP
the manners of the foreign nobility bu
succeeds only so far as to discount then
in Incidence. His subordinates are regard
full only of the salaries they receive, ant
neglect the interests of the government
most scandalously. It is to be hoped tina
the President, out of regard to his own rep
utation, and the reputation of his admins
tration, will effect a reform in this depart
ment before greater scandals than thos
already known arise.

engagements were plentiful. AS a natural
result, the Tourists that season achieved

cially for company in the first year of its

In the profession and soon scores of imita-
tors sprang into existence to reap the
golden harvest which the Tour
lists had shown was waiting
to be gathered. Foremost of these was
the Fun on the Bristol party, we'll known
to our readers since their visit last year.
In the November following the first APP
pearance of the Tourists, and while they
were playing at Haverley's theater, Brook
Ign, to delighted audiences, George Faw-
| cett Rowe, the welI-known actor and
author, attended one of their performances.
Struck with the very novel idea OF the en-
tertainment, he Immediately reported to
Henry G. Jarrett, prominent manager
OF New York city, that ''that was the sort
of piece to make money with,'' and offered
| to write something of a similar nature
Jarrett accepted his offer and as result
Fun on the Bristol" was born early in the
December following. While there was
great similarity in the two pieces, it was
more in the idea than in detail; as, for in
stance, the Tourists have their quips and
oddities occur in a Pullman car, and relate
more especially to railroad life, while Fun
on the Bristol depicted steamboat life and
its happenings. Both companies did ex-
tremely well, but it is greatly to the credit
of the Tourists that after four years of sue
cess IN the class of entertainment which
they inaugurated, they once more have the
field alone to themselves, all their imita-
tors having lived out their life and disap-
peared from the scenes of action. From
what is said above our readers will readily
understand that those who witness the
Tour ists' performance next week may
be sure of most enjoyable evening.

ney, Guy G. Sibley, brought suit in the

THE DEPARrMENT OF JUSTICE.

The arrangement of the department of
Justice by Senator Van Wyck on Friday
evening, was not, perhaps, in good taste or
strictly in conformity with parliamentary
usage, but no one conversant with the ad-
ministration of the department under its
present head, can deny that it was well
merited. Where we have right to look
for the most exemplary purity the grossest
and most disgracful abuses have been al
lowed to creep in and to grow and flourish.
MIR. Van Wyck called attention to only a
few of these in the course of his remarks,
though they fifty illustrated the general
manner of conducting business under
Brewster. The utmost wastefulness and
extravaganza have been permitted and even
encouraged by the subordinates who run
the Office during the chiefs daily incapac-
ity for duty, caused by his indulgence in
intoxicants.

THE indications for fourishing bust

The usual arrival of spring weather was

The defeat of the river and harbor bill
through the objection of Senator Ingalls, to
its Immediate consideration when reported
by the committee on commerce, is deeply
to be regretted. This action will put a
stop to work on the improvement of the
Mississippi river at an early date in the
summers as the appropriation now avail
able for that purpose is very small. The
necessity for continuing the work is
urgent, for great loss to commerce and
industry will ensue from overfows and
other causes if the banks are unprotected
for any length of time.
