In perichoIe.

The fact that LA Perichole" had never
been sung in Omaha before last night
did not prevent those who attended the
performance from enjoying most pleas
ant1eyening. Even though the piece is
unknown to most Omahans, it abUunds
in beautiful airs and choruses, all of
which were rendered by the Grau com
pany in an excellent manner, Some OF
these airs and choruses are as beautiful
as any in the realm Of lighter opera.
The acting in most Instances was very
satisfactory. Ii Omaha audiences feel that
nothing is worthy attention unless it has
previously been heard by them. there IS
little hope OF much advance being made
in the line of musical culture in this city.
The opera will be repeated tomorrow

crowded to IS utmost capacity, 5000 persons

men of the established church, officers OF the

highly privileged, publicly endowed proles-

was an anti-liberl. But from the legal and
medical professions, which were now open,
the liberals received fair share of support.
The question was whether the masses were

The second Volume OF Gen. Grants
Memoirs.

The second volume of the Personal Me.
moirs Of U. s. Grant," which WAS published
on the 18th inst, and is now being delivered
to subscribers, opens with Gen. Grants rs
sumption of the command at Chattanooga in
October, 1868, and concludes with the grand
review at Washington, and some general re.
Elections on the causes of the war and the
present condition and prospects OF the coun.
try. As in everything which the author
wrote pertaining to the war period the nara.
tive is direct In statement, simple in style,
and siDgularly free from self obtruson. There
ia evident throughout sincere endeavor to
do exact justice to the commanders upon
either side. Praise is bestowed generously
and criticism reluctantly and there is com.
bined in an unusual degree the calm Impair
tiality Of an historian who writes at a consid-
erable distance of time from the occurrences
which form the subject matter Of his history
and the vividness which pertains only to per-
sonsl experience. The description OF Lees
surrender, for example, is admirable and im.
pressive, but its impressiveness is due to lhs
almost childlike simplicity with which it is
told. Here was the closing scene in a mighty
drama OF civil war, and the commander-in.
chief Of the victorious forces might have
been expected to be flushed with triumph
But the exultAtion which he felt at the first
uOtluChtlou OI buTTenueT lmmeulhttly ly CnhngeQ
almost to sadness and depression as he thought
OF the disappointment of the men who had
fought bravely, though in a mistaken cause.
He went to meet Gen. Lee in the rusty uni.
form Of a private with only the straps to
mark his rank, and reflected afterwards upon
the contrast which he presented to the hand
somely attired and equipped commander of
the opposing forces. When they began their
talk, they soon drifted away to "reminiscences
of West Point and army life, and were so ab.
sorbed that they almost forgot the errand
which had called them together. The fa-
nous terms Of surrender, the most magnani.
nous, perhaps, ever accorded under circum
stances at all parallel, were written out hRsti-
ly, without time for deliberation. Much of
Gen. Grants character is disclosed in the
simple greatness of his bearing under these
circumstances and in his unpretentious recit-
al OF these events. The con Gliding para
graphs, in which he expresses his acknowl.
edgment of the kind words of regard aud af-
fection which came to him from all quarters
during his last sickness, are full of tender.
ness, but, except in some such instance where
direct reference is made to his physical con-
dition, the work betrays no trace OF the suf-
fering through which he was passing as he
wrote. Yet THESE memoirs will always have
a peculiar sacredness on this account
