Emma Abbott Opera Organization.

Emma AODOIt Oporh oTS0nlzH0AOA'
At the close of last season Mr.. Pratt,
manager of Emma Abbott, declared that for
the present season he intended to secure
the greatest English opera organization
that had ever supported Emma Abbott.
From all accounts he has kept his word.
It required nearly four months to get the
artists and people, but he succeeded finally
and left New York in September with q
company of seventy, and since then two or
three have been added who did not reach
New York in time. The same company
exactly that has been supporting Emma
Abbott in Detroit, Cincinnati, Cleveland,
Chicago, St. Louis, Columbus, st. Paul and
Minneapolis, will appear at the opera house
Monday and Tuesday next in "Ernani'' and
crosse of Castile''-same cast, chorus and
orchestra. Mr.. Pratt has assumed great
responsibility in taking such an organiza-
ton across the continent, but the San Fran
cisco and New Orleans special engagements
require it. So much the better. We get
larger opera by the necessities in the case.

A Prophecy OF the Near Future.

From Punch.
The children had left the school aud the
pianos were closed for the night. The Sem
ior Wrapglers who had been conducting the
lessons were divesting themselves Of their
aeademical robes, and preparing to quit the
premises to return to their palatisl homes,
the outcome of q portion of their princely
salaries. In couples they disappeared until
only one was lsfi-he was older than his col
leagues, and consequently slower In his
movements. As he was about to summon
his carriage wild looking individual sud-
denly appeared before him, and, sinking in q
chair, appealed to him with q gesture that,
fraught with weakness, was yet defiant.

Guilty In dealing with bequests like that of
Mr.. Narett. We have before us the last re-
port of the Boston "Overseers of the Poor. {"
They have several funds to administer. John
BoyIston left money for ''poor and deosyed
houssholdcrs of the town of Boston not under
fifty years of age; persons of good character,
and reduced by the acts of Providence, not
by Incidence, extravagance or other vice. u
The income of the Jeffries fund is applied
ito the purchase of tea, coffee, chocolate,
aud sugar, for the refreshments of those per-
sons who, In the providence of God are or
shall be obliged to seek refuge in the aims
house after having lived reputably; but al
ways giving preference TO the pious poor. u
The Goodnow fund was left to the City OF
Boston and its assigns, "to be invested, and
the income applied forever to and fol
the relief, assistance and support Of
the poor, sick and infrm In
said city, not supported by the said oisy in
It's almshouse, In such manner as the said
oity, or the government OF officers thereof
may deem most judioious, but without ref
srence to the religious faith or bslief Of
those who may apply for or need assistance
from this fund"
And so forth and SO on. Boston has beer
wise enough to accept all such bequests
There are twelve Overseers of the Poor, foul

The harnesses frequently drop 10 the noor,

they are securely fastened 70 the pegs. the

WANT A CHANGE.

Free trade isn't as popular in England as
it was, and If It continues to grow unpopular
at the present rate it will not be long before
the political economists who have had Eng
land to point to as the most sagacious nation
in the matter of trade will be sad. This
resolution has recently been introduced into
the British parliament: That, having regard
to the formal declaration of her msjesty's
government that the decline of arabic
agriculture in the United Kingdom has
reduced the store of the food Of the
country to about a seven weeks supply,
and that the free admission given
to foreign manufacturers preeludss any re-
monstrance being addressrd to q for
eign nation against the imposition of pro.
hibitive customs duties for the exclusion of
British productions, this house is of opinion
that, for the national security, and especially
In the interest of the masses of the popula-

trade upon fair and reOiprnoally equal terms,

A curious fashion has come into vogue in

stones to receive the cards of visitors. The
relatives of the deceased are thus enabled to
sec who among the living still cherish the
memory of their departed friends.
The Photographic society of Geneva has
been testing the theory that the long conn
panionshlp of man and wife tends to make
them look more and more like each other.
Photographs of seventy eight old couples and
of an equal number of adult brothers and

more like each other than the brothers and
sisters of the same blood.
