Ex-Miss MorosinI Again.

New YORK, Nov B3.-Mme. Victoria Huls-
kamp sang to very large audience at the
Thalia Theater tonight, and was enthusiast
ically received. She sang without nervous
ness. Tomorrow she appears at Yonkers,
her old home.
In criticism on Mrs. Schelling's appear
ance last Thursday evening, the New York
Sun says: Mrs. Schelling is short woman
of about % years, with good figure, bright
fresh complexion, and light brown hair,
which she wears in wide and redundant
frizz over the forehead. She moves with a
gliding motion, and her manner is modest
and quiet. Her face is expressionless and
commonplace, and she seems like person
who has never had a serious or deep emotion,
or deep or original thought.
Her first selection was from the opera of
'Ernani," the grand aria, "Ernani fly with
me''-probably chosen for the purpose of
leading the minds of her auditors
back to a sentimental reflection upon the
occurrence which has made her IA
nous. She has a young. light, high
voice, with a little birdlike tremelo or
ribrato in it. 1t is of rather pleasing buali-
ty, but after very short time it becomes
exceedingly monotonous and tiresome, for
there is in it no soul and no intelligence
Neither is there any life or understanding in
the rendering of her songs. All is utterly
cold, small, and mechanical.

Millions, Caused by the Reduction
Of Letter Rates-Other facts.

year of SIS, So, GIL or $3.50 ,483 ia excess of
receipts. The decrease IN receipts from those
of the previous fiscal year, $2,l70, SIS, or
47-l0 per cent. was caused mainly by re-
duction of the letter rate of postage from
three TO two cents, which went into operation
on the first of October 1883.
The weight of second-class matter, news
papers, periodicals, etc, mailed during the
year was IL ,240 tons, the postage on which
