knocked out everything from Bangor to

Miss Livingston appears in court the
second time asking the laws protection
for her virtue, which it seems is very
much imperiled. The last time she was
in court she sued gay young broker
for betrayal. The young lady told a
pathetic story, and the living evidence
of her indiscretion was brought into
court. The plaintiff gave the history OF
her downfall while tears streamed down
her face, and her mother while relating
the tale of her daughters ruin went into
Mysteries before the jury, and the result
was, notwithstanding the attempt to
impeach her character, and the forid
appeal of one of the ablest criminal
lawyers in New York, Miss Livingston
got a verdict for $4,000, which was
eventually compromised for 81, ,OOC
cash. She has now been betrayed
again, and comes into Court with pledge
No. ?. This time young lawyer is made
defendant, and if she can get S25, ,O0C
out of him, she can, no doubt, get along
very comfortably till she needs the laws
protection again.
Glory for Judge Barrett! he taught
the boycoLters a lesson that they will dc
well to remember. The walking dele.
gate will now so into any mans shop to
disturb his business, with the certainty
of States prison before him, and the
cowardly rascals who have paraded in
front of poor woman's shop attempt
ing to starve her into submission to
their villainous demands, will discover
that on American soil there is no foot
of space for these relics of barbarism
and brutality, and they have nc place in
our American civilization. A startling
feature of the boycottcrs' conviction last
week was, that not one of them was a
citizen of the United States, and that
the man they blackmailed and tried to
ruin, was citizen of the United States.
An instructive feature of the trial was
the discharge of the criminals when first
arrested by an ignorant and supersery-
iceable Justice of the Peace, Justice
Weld. He ought at once to be indicted
and hurled from the bench. The an
archist papers are howling over the con-
viction of the blackmailers, and are
breathing blood and slaughter. 1t may
be necessary to put a few more of the
raScals in the penitentiary or States
prison, to teach them that they are now
living under government of law and
order, and not of terrorism and brute
force--that it is emphatically, and with
Gods help will be for all time,a govern
ment "of the people, for the people, and
by the people"
Great preparations are making for a
revival of Italian Opera next winter, and
it is reported on authority that Patti is
under contract to Abbey, who was near
ly ruined by Opera two seasons ago. He
attempted to run the New Metropolitan
Opera House against Mapleson, who
had Patti and Nevada at the Academy.
New York divided on the fight. On the
metropolitan side was Vanderbilt. jaw
Gould and host of others with long
purses, and any amount of pluck. On
the Academy's side were the Astors, the
Goolets, the Gearys, and all the set that
claims old blue blood, as well as money
bags. Mapleson having nothing to lose
succeeded in putting the Academy d.
rectors into big hole, and paying Patti
$4,000 a night, left New York in dis
grace, owing everyone. Abbey lost
Sl5O,OOO, but paid all of his debts like
man, and quietly retired from operatic
management, seemingly satisfied that it
was not his forte. 1t seems strange
that he should tempt Providence again,
but the ways of your manager are in
scrutable. One thing is certain, that he
gave New York the best opera it ever
had, and if dessert will ensure success
he will be sure to win it. But we must
not forget that German Opera has got a
firm foothold here, and next winter will
see it in better form than ever before.
Our German population is wealthy. and
enthusiastic on the subject of music, so
that the success of the German Opera
is already assured. Then comes our
American Opera-Yes, good sir. our
American Opera, which is not failure,
all prognostics TO the contrary, not
withstanding. They have had some
little rows; but this seems to me one of
the most encouraging and satisfactory
assurances of success. II is in fact an
Italian characteristic, and without an
occasional row we could have no first
class opera. The English Opera ought
to be a success; just look at the list OF
namcs-Iopstaddcr, Rubenstein, Din
klehoffer, Lipstein, Klienfeldter, Lang
owtize and Bromhottz. With list of |
English names like this, England and
America may well feel proud, and with
native talent like this, we cannot fail.
llurrah for the Inglitch Obera!
