 Vocal Instruction and French Litera-
 ture.
 We print the following from a recent num- Der of ''The Home Journal"
 M. Paul Wialliard, the we'll known French vocalist and elocutionist, has come to New York with the intention of residing here per manently and pursuing his profession. He is warmly welcomed by all who have had the opportunity to know his merits both as gentleman and artist. The guests at New port last summer recall vlth pleasure his readings in the drawing rooms of Mrs. J. J. Astor and other leaders of fashionable so- ciety. On leaving Montreal, where he has been living, he was rendered a farewell ban quet which was presided over by the Mayor and was attended by great number of distinguished persons.
 M. Wialliard gave private musicale and recitation in this .city few days since and delighted cultivated audience with an ex- hibition of his talent. His singing at once established him as thorou gh and conseien- tious artist, every detail being the result of an excellent method and showing perfect finish The distinctness and beauty of his articulation was in itself a complete lesson to that too numerous body of singers who sacrifice everything to sound.
 The recitatiorin French which followed was revelation of the infnity of shades and infections contained in the Gallic tongue as we'll as an exhibition of fine histrionic ability.
 It is understood that M. Wialliard has in contemplation plan for opening studio in this city for the purpose of giving vocal in- struction and of forming class 1n French literature and conversation.
 Any information desired as to particulars may be had by addressing M. Wialliard, box 975, this city.

 The Madison Square theater success "Young Mrs. Winthrop" will be produced at this opera house on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings of next week. "Young Mrs. Win throp" is more essentially American than any play yet produced at the Madison Square theater. It was written by an American au- thor, expressly for American theater; and every scene is laid in America; and it's pro- duction is a fitting example of the success of the strictly American policy pursued by the Madison Square theater.

Burglar.
 BRIDGEPORT, Feb. 26.-Mr. John Wheeler of Easton, farmer and an sx-member of the legislature, living alone, was awakened early Thursday morning by noise in his house and was confronted by man with dark lantern.

 NEW HAVEN OPERA HOUSE.
 "Foggs Ferry" is indeed picturesque comedy drama and everyone who saw it enjoyed it. It has quite plot, but no one seemed to take any notice of it as long as Miss Evans as ''Chip," the ferry girl, kept up her singing, dancing and singing the very latest slang. Miss Evans is very clev CT soubrette, and though stranger to her auditors, she at once won their favor and applause If she will visit us often she cannot fail to become a great favorite. The supporting company is a very good one-a rare treat which the entire audi ence seemed to appreciate. MT. Steve Corey as s'Still Bill" made lots of fun by his mono syllable utterances. MT. Henry Scharf as siZeb Fogg" and Miss Li1lie Shields as stMrs Fogg" deserve special mention for their con- ical makeup. The play will be repeated this afternoon and evening. Every lady pur- chasing reserved seat for the matinee will receive cabinet photograph of Miss Evans.

the public.

we are not able to speak from any special
knowledge upon the subject: but there
is one general consideration which in our
Judgment overbaances all the specific
and detailed accusations which Gen. Me-
Clellan alleges. Mr.. Stanton was man
of intense purpose and ardent passion.
and he had preiudices and animoSities {:
but his great and constant wish was TO
finish the war and save the Union To
this end he was seeking continually for
"A general who could cope with Lee and
break down and conquer the great army
of the confederacy-the army of North
ern Virginia; and in this search Mr..
Lincoln went with him at every step. so

not entirely approve. After they had
tried Met lellan and convinced themselves
that he was not equal to the job. they
next tried Burnside, and next Hooker
and when they were both found made

lutely and Just as relentlessly as McClel-
Ian had been. Finally they took Grant.
and he did the business which none of
his predecessors had been able to accom-
pli>h. These facts, we think, dispose of
the whole of Gen. McClellan'S long COM
plant. OF course it was not pleasing to
him to be set aside, nor was it pleasing to
his friends, and the number of these was
great: but the secretary of war could
not consider either their disappointment
or McClellan's own modification. What
he was after was Il general who could
beat Lee and wind up the rebellion; and
at last he found him. That is the whole
story"

SAD-EYeC SUFFERERS IN A CHILL
DReN'S HOSPITAL.

The Pine and the Maple-"Of That Fair
Kingdom None Can Enter in, without
Becoming First a Little ChiId"-Cha-
rade-"Incurable."
In the large cities the hospitals for sick poor
have wards set apart for children alone
Some of the little ones have never had a kind
word, clean bed or a taste of nice food in
their wretched lives until they got them in
the hospital Therefore the hospital, cruel as
the treatment must sometimes be, is like a
glimpse of paradise TO them. Mrs. NJ. L.
Rayne writes of childs hospital that she
visited:
If you have never been in the chidren's
ward of great hospital go there and learn
from these little ones how to suffer and be
strong
All day long they lie there, weeks, nay
months, at a time, suffering from painful dis
ease or fractured limbs, yet they will greet
you with smile, though no wave of color
will suffuse tr deadly whitene.s of cheek and
brow, and the tiny form quivers in the grasp
of cruel pain. They lie there in the cool,
clean ward on sweet, white cots, with no yes
terdays to remember and no to-morrows to
welcome. They live only day by day, and
their happest hour is that in which "He
giveth His beloved sleep"
