AMUSEMENTS.

ia MAscoTTE" AT ALBAUGH's.-"L
Mascotte," as given by Theo and Graus
Opera Company, is rather disappointing.
Tbeo has not the voice TO carry the part,
and notwithstanding the fact that a gon-
eTous audience insisted on the repetition
of the "GObble Song" it was evident that
it was demanded moro as o compliment
to the merry singer than as an express
sion Of delight at the music. Theo's
Bettind is weak. There are several Ameri-
can opera singers who render the part
moro acceptably. Theo neither sings nor
acts tho part in manner that can COM
pare with Emma Howson's portrayal of
tho little farm girl. Fidmettd was pleas
ipgly taken by Mile. Lefort; NJ. Mezieres
was capital as Laurent XVII; M. Duplan
made very fair Rocco. His makeup diff
fcred from the one accustomed to be seen
in connection with the part. M. Gaillard
did not infuse into the part of Pipo as
much spirit as could be desired but on the
whole was commendable. NJ. Larg as
Fritellini gave the greatest satisfaction.
The chorus dragged at times. The male
chorus of soldiers was strong, full and
spirited. The audience was much smaller
than the one on Monday evening.

.Ihe Romnny RYe.r

This great spectacular melo.drama will
be the attraction at Albaugh's Graud
Opera House for the week commencing
Monday next, March 23. "The Romany
Rye" is popular success, always having
been most favorably received by the public.
The play is of the scenic, romantic spectacu-
lar order. The story is one of English life,
dealing largely with gypsies-a race with
which Americans are not personally IA
miliar, but which always has great
charm for us. The plot Is quite complica-
ted, growing out Of the love of gypsy girl,
Laura Lee, for Philip ROyston, who has en-
ticed her away from Der people, and the
love of Jack Hedwe, "the Romany Rye"
for Gettie Heckett, u granddaughter of Joe
Hecket, thief Gcrtie afterwards proves
to be cousin of Philip Royston, and jack
Heaine turns out to be a RoystoR by his
fathers marriage to a gypsy girl, and is
heir to the estates in possession Of Philip
Royston The piece is, beyond question,
the most perfect production of the kind
ever attempted in this country.

States under the treaty Of 1861 with Mica

undoubted interest IN SO aiding the Gem

Voluntarily together under republican
forms of government, but It must refuse to
countenanco any measure subverslve ofthe
free autonomy Of any Of tho several statcs.
Secretary Bayard told tho Mexican Minister
that such was the position OF this Govern
ment. That position is probably shO wn
moro clearly by Mr.. Bayard's Telegram to
Mr.. Costellou Of tho Nicarsguaa Govern
mcnt. In that telegram he says;
This Government believes q voluntary aud
harmonious unity desirable among tho i've
states. but Shows no eympathy toward 60.
ercive measures, ana stands ready b exert
influence In interest OF peace.
The wisdom OF the position taken by tho
Government cannot be questioned. 10 Is
conservative, aud yet for all purposes
sufficiently firm. In other words, wo do
not attempt to dictate in Central America,
but we are opposed to any free State on tho
continent being coerced.
Secretary Whitney has instructed Com
mander Mahan of the Wachusett, now at
Panama, TO proceed, in case Of hostilities
ensuing, to Central American ports and pro-
tect American interests. Commander
Mehan is also instructed to protect if, as OK
pected, tho emissaries of Barrios attempt to
interfere with the submarine cables Of the
Central and South American Telegraph
Company.
Our readers will probably remember that
We have limited that Barrios had cheek. In
confirmation of that view is the following
telegram which he sent to President Cleve-
land on the 9TH instant:
have tho honor to congratulate Your Excel.
iency and to inform you that, for tho purpose
OF bringing about 9,union between the States
OF Central America, and making them one
republic, l have, with tho approval OF the
Assembly, assumed the titlo OF supreme milt.

Of this republic Will soon leave here for
Washington.
The Senate in executive session yester-
day adopted the Edmunds resolution, de-
clariug IL to be the sense of the Senate that
Barrios should be prevented from carrying
out his scheme. Thus one branch Of the
National Legislature not only sustain5 tho
Administration, but goes still further.
