they let the old fellow off with five
million dollars of profit. Instead of

A MosT PATRIOTIC OPERA--Itw was
the pleasure Of one of the INDEPEN-
DENTS force to witness the produc-
tion OF Mr.. Adam Itzel's now famous
comic opera, i" The Tar and Tartar" "
at Albaugh's Opera House, in WASH
ington, Tuesday last, and there Is no
doubt but that American genius in
the comic opera line is unsurpassed.
The Tar and Tartar" has a COM
plste and unique scheme. the solos
and choruses are beautiful and the
comedy is pre- eminently comedy
from beginning to end. The clos
ing solos and chorus are strikingly
original, and the transcription is
brilliantly conceived. The Star
Spangled Banner, America, Yankee
Doodle and Dixie are completely
blended, by as many different Choir
uses into a grand national medley.
