enF or, at whose efforts the audience is in
clined to snicker, was educated for Italian
opera. If he were making tonight as much
of hit as the soprano is achieving, he
wouldn't be much happier than he is now.
Why? Because she is undoubtedly saying
to herself, I ought to be in grand opera in
stead of here. If I can get SO much applause
for my singing in this comic trash, could do
the same at the Academy of Music That's
the way with them all. The comic opera
people are unhappy because they're not in
grand opera, and the comedians invariably
aspire to tragedy" Over at the biggest
theatre in the Bowery-as to seating
capacity the biggest in America-I
found last evening set of actors who had
good reason to feel professionally oppressed.
They were performing sNobody's Claim a
western border drama, and from the two
stars to the numerous supers all were subor-
dinated to beasts and the elements. A dog
had the. climax of one act to himself in the
biting of the villain, q horse commanded the
situation at another fall Of the curtain, and
fire distracted all attention from the acting
in the crowning episode. Nowhere in the
play was there much dependence upon the
human voice for producing an exciting eff
feet. The orchestra made more noise than
the speakers during the thrilling passages,
and firearms beat the mouths of the most
vigorous declaimers It has been demon
strated, however, that the Bowery has ap-H
probation for better dramatic things Two
large theatres have been newly opened this
season in that street and it's northern extern
sion. Third avenue, making three legitimate
houses, and the engagements made by the
managers of these places include the entire
range of dramatic combinations, with no
preference for the rude or mechanical. It
was long a mistaken conclusion that the east

Odd Things the Dear and Dumb

A very curious thing about deaf nautes is
the rapidity with which they learn the mean
ing and the use Of slang words and phrases
The ordinary street language Of the day
seems to be every bit as familiar to them as
it is to people whose organs Of hearing are
not impaired, and they will say, in their own
way, You bet your bootsl" !" or, " You bet
your sweet ifel' with as much ease and grace
as If they had had it at their tongues end all
their lives One Of the afflicted young men
whom I asked for an explanation of this re-
markable fact said the deaf mutes got their
knowledge Of slang from the newspapers,
that they were great readers of the papers,
and snapped up q new phrase or word just
the moment it made it appearance They
not only use slang In writing, but also in
their sign language.

FOUL MURDER.

A Zura Burns Affair Discovered in
Chicago.
CHICAGO, Jan. 16-The dead body Of
Amelia Olsen a plump, stout, fair-haired,
and good-looking Norwegian girl, aged 10,
was discovered in lot near the corner of
Chicago avenue and Leavast street by
Charles Flint, of $40 Ashland avenue,
who Immediately turned in an alarm,
and the corpse was removed by the
West Chicago avenue patrol wagon to
the home of the girls parents, at
$50 Thomas street Miss Olsen was seam
stress, and worked for Mrs Emma Carlson,
dressmaker at 239 West Indiana street.
There is about one hundred acres of open
prarie in the locality where the body was
found, and it is supposed that while going
home, in the evening, she was seized by
some men, dragged to an out-of-the-way
place, strangled, outraged and abandoned.
There were no marks of violence on
the body except at the throat, around
which her veil was tightly drawn. There
were no marks of a struggle at the spot
where the body was discovered, but an efapty
iquor-fask was near by, which had evil
IDENTIFY been broken on a stone. The girls
clothes were drawn up about her waist,
Leaving her lower limbs exposed, but there
we've no evidences of rough treatment on her
person. From the position of the body it
was evident that she had been dragged con-
siderable distance by her arms end the
tightly tied vsil aboBt her neck.
AS yet the police have no clew as to who
perpetrated the foul outrage. They say that
a number. of hard characters live about the

no signs of struggle having taken place
where the body was found, yet there are marks

had lover, but no suspicion attaches
to him.
CHICAGO, Jan. Tz.--There is no clew yet to
the identity of the perpetrator of the horrible
murder of Arnelie Olsen. The county physi-
clan cannot state positively that the girl was
outraged, and the police do not believe she
was. A large force of detectives is working
on the case. and it is hoped that their efforts

We take our costliest gems and reset them to

There are two of our finest sets at Swampscott

possible by the last dispatches to hold out q

The Irish Franchise.

LONDON, Jan. 1s.-The English surrender
to the Irish claim for the extension of the
franchise is completed by the advocacy Of
The Whig Edinburg Review and The Tory
Quarterly Review. The first declares that
Ireland must be included, because otherwise
the bill could not pass; and the second says
that a refusal of the same reform
to Ireland as to England is no longer de-
fensible 1t seems certain, however, that
the Tories will bitterly oppose the bill while
it is passing through the house of commons
and that the lords will reject it. Earl
Spencer's complete submission to the Orange
landlords has much damaged him, and he is
denounced by the English Radical organs.

In the Revelation on Celestial Marriage,
given to Joseph Smith, Nauvoo, July 10,

verify, say unto you, if any man have a
wife who holds the key of this power, and he
teaches unto her the law of my priesthood,
then shall she believe and administer unto
him, or she shall be destroyed, saith the Lord
your God, for viii destroy her. This con-
stantly repeated sentence is the iron out of
which many marriage rings are made in
Utah; they bind the Mormon woman, but
she does not pretend to love her fetter. In
the breast of every woman in that territory
there is an enemy or potential traitor to the
system of polygamy, and when, as must
sometime be the case, the struggle with
polygamy becomes recognized war for the
ieliverance of woman, the end of the
Deseret dispensation will be swiftly-it is to
be feared violently As Goethe

France and China.

LONDON, Jan. 1S-A leading member of
the Chinese legation at London has been in
terviewed He stated that China had not
declared war against France, although her
memorandum to Premier Ferry, declaring
an assault on Sontay, Hung Hoa, or Bac
Mini to be casus belli, would be carried
out to the letter. When Sontay was cap
tured, the Marquis Tseng withdrew from
France to England to await Instructions from
the Chinese government. These instructions
Tseng has since received, but their
tenor could not be divulged The
attack upon Sontay was in vio-
lation of the friendly re, ions between the
two countries but Tseng would not therefore
have made formal declaration of war
against France France attacked both Hue
and Sontay without declaring war
against China, and now. threatened to
attack Bac Mini, where there were large
bodies of Chinese troops, which would meet
the French forces and protect Bac Mini with
all their power The attache most positively
declared that China would never entertain
the proposal to evacuat Bac Mini as basis
of negotiations for the settlement of the Ton
ulin question.
