Both of the great parties-all parties in
taet-are alike in one respect. All their
efforts to win people to their way of think.
ing are confined TO the few months that
intervene between tho nomination Of cam
didates and the election. As soon as their
conventions havo been held, platforms de-
clared and candidates named, thoro is an
instant concentration of every resource
possible that is deemed likely TO bring ro
cruits to their party ranks and contribute
to the desired victory.
But it may be doubted if worse
time to make converts could we'll be
chosen. In the excitement of campaign
in which every device is put to the front
that tends 10 hold men TO the faith
which custom, conviction, and assOcia-
tion havo made second nature 20 them,
the tendency is not to take up new be
licfs. On tho contrary, men VINO in the
interim between campaigns avepartially
concluded to leave their old parties aro
very likely TO bo carried of their feet
and swept back into tho ranks by the
magnetism Of old associations viyldly
arraycd before them by the rush and
hurrah of the campaign.
The true time to mako converts 10 in
the quiet times between ca mpaigns, when
men can think. If a party has anything
10 present that has merit enough to cap
turo tho Judgment tho proper moment
TO bring it to tho attention of individuals
is Mt that time when arguments can be
calmly considered.
I There is no medium by which party
Ngoins can so surely bo gained as that af-
fordcd by good newspaper. 1t is safe
70 say that hardly any average man can
read ono day by day without having his
opinions nodded and influenced by it.
ssAud there is no work that would so surely
"riug now converts to the ranks Of q

A Leader of Several Forlorn Hopes.


Permit me to inquire by what right Gen.
Geo, b. Mcclellan styles himself "IIe who
led the forlorn hope twenty years ago"
The army of the Potomac, when commanded
by Gen. Mcclellan, was II magnificent force,
composed of the flower of the loyal people of
the great north and west. 1t Is true that un-
der the leadership of "the young Napoleon"
as in sharp irony, this leader was called, this
splendid army was kept in action around
Washington city, while, In the words of n
stern writer of that day, "a traitor govern
ment gained solidty In reposc." II is true
that under his leadership this splendid army
was defeated again and again by inferior
forces better commanded that 1t was deci,
mated by sickness, paralyzed by delay, and
frightfully crippled before the command was
taken from Gen. Mcclellan, and his "forlorn
hope" MS he dares to call the great army of
the republic passed from one incompetent
commander 20 another, until finally II was led
to glorious victory by the calm and resolute
Grant.
surely there was never claim so absurd, SO
impudent, and SO bombastlc as that of Gen.
George b. Mcclellan in his tulsomc congratu'
latOry dispatch to Cleveland. Reading 1t, we
recall the days when this big schoolboy was
posing ut the hend Of the great war engine
which he could hardly move and could never
guide, and we smile to see that the twenty
ye9rs TO which he alludes seem to have lett
him rs young and rs ostentatious as ever.

ADJUSTMENTS.


lnOugn there was muCh larger attendance
ut the National thcater last evening than at
any other performance of the Milan Italian
Opera company, the audience was by no
moansso great as the merits Of the troupe JUS
titled. Washington has heretofore been con
sidorcd tho second city In this country IN its
appreciation and support OF opera, Boston
taking the first rank. Italian opera has
always been well patronizcd here, and during
tho Maplcson engagement here last winter
the National was crowded, even the standing
room being all occupied on tho Patti nights,
ut 81 per scat Tor orchestra chairs
This Milan company Is complete in every
department The principals are all artists
both in a vocal aud dramatic sense; the chorus
Is large, well trained and thoroughly efficient,
and the orchestra is full and under good CON
troll. The operas thus far presented have been
given with a completeness and harmony never
before witnessed, aud the enjoyment of their
audiences has been attended by an cnthusi.
asm rs genuine as II Is uncommon.
Last night Bcllinrs tragic opera Of "Nouna'
was presented, the cast including slgnora
Damarini rs Norma, signora Orlnndi MS Adal.
glsa, Signora Cayalina as ClUtilde, Slgnor
Giannini rs POllIOnc, aud Signor Serboini rs
OrOycso. Norma" is one of the heaviest in
the list of the grand operas aud owing to the
severity OF the task imposed upon both So
prano and tenor, the dllicuity of obtaining u
mGz2o soprano whose voice will thoroughly
harmonlze with that of the one who
sings the leading role, and tho amount
of dramatic action called for in
the opera, It's representation is very rare.
Last night every requirement was fulfilled.
Signorn Dam0rini. was even greater In the
Druidcss than as Aida, and hor every effort
was greeted with tho most pronounced APP
platse. The Casta Diva she sang with fcrvor,
purity. and an effect which called forth the
most emphatic encore, and the brilliancy of
her execution in the allegro movement "Ah
Bello, II me ritorua,' shortly afterwards, was
similarly greeted. In fact In every number she
was compelled toCOme forward again and again
to acknowledge the plRudlts of the delighted
Audience. Signom Orlandi made her first ap-
pcarnnco here In the part of Adalgisa, and dis
played melzO soprano of good volume and
superior cultivation, which harmoniled so
perfectly with that Of Signora Damarini, that
the Duets "Ah, 81, Far Core" In the second
and the familiar mira, o Norma" in the third
act, were delivered with an exquisite blend
ing of the two voices even in the most intricate
passages that one can hardly hope to hear
surpassed
Although signor Gianinni had sung at every
performance since Tuesday night, his voice
was rs fresh and vigorous rs at his first ap-
pcarance, and even the trying role of Pollione
was sung with force and fire that only added
to the high reputation he had already earned.
From his first solo, me Protcgge," to the
grand finale he was all that could be desired.
Too much praise cannot be bestowed upon his
efforts. Signor Serbolini was a dignifed and

PATTI is divorced at last, but tho di-
vorco was granted to her worthless OK
husband, the Marquis De Caux. The
fair singer will hardly grumblo at the
lack of gallantry shown by the French
tribunal, however. A remarriage with
Nicolini will now no doubt follow, and
perhaps the social world that has so long
held aloof from the great singer will re-
lent. Observance Of outward form goes
great way in matters of this kind, as Patti
has found to her cost. Brilliant as have
been her triumphs in tho lyric field, it is
very doubtful If any have been as sweet
to her as would be the moment when she
could find the long-closed doors of society
opened to welcome her.

The party that first has tho sagacity to
