The First Opera by a Colored Man.

The First opera by Colored Man.
| A oolored man has at last written an
opera. 1t purports to tell IN song and verse
the story Of Uncle Toms Cabin This
effort marks the advent of the negro into
the field Of higher music. The composer
has had the advantage OF a musical educa-
ton in Germany. and is said to be vio-
linist Of exceptional ability. His opera has
been heard in New York, and it is proposed
that it shall be produced In Chicago during
the worlds fair.
Unfortunately for the colored aspirant
for fame In music, his libretto merits the
condemnation Of every lover OF truth,
whatever may be said of his score For
the libretto is a libel on the whole great
country.
In Mrs. Stoves story old Tom is allowed
to die very commonplace death. But in
the opera he is lynched and burned at the
stakel
The purpose Of this lynching scene is
| plainly to reflect discredit, odium, contempt
| upon the south. There have been two
burnings at the stake in the south within a
| comparatively short time, and it was from
these instances that the suggestion for the
opera effect was taken. Each of the
fiends who suffered at the stake had com-
| United the blacklist crime In the calendar.
| There has not been a burning
in the south for any other crime.
To burn man at the stake on the stage, in
scene laid in the south, for any other
reason than that he had committed the
crime for which the wretohes in Texas were
| lynched is an acted falsshood 1t creates
the impression that burnings for other
reasons have been 30 common as to make
the desire to oremate negroes alive a char
acteristlc OF the people Of the section in
which the scene is laid, which Is false. Until
the composer and his financial hackers are
prepared TO exhibit cause and effect 10 the
same play upon the stage they had better
\ omit the stake-burning scene. 1t is a horri-
bio libel upon American civilization.
| The libel does not affect the south alone.
| The opera, as has been stated is to be pre-
sented at the worlds fair grounds during
the continuance Of the exposition. How are
| foreigners. ignorant OF sectional lines and
feelings, to distinguish bstwsen one part of
the country and another as represented on
the stagel The burning OF old Tom at the
stake would be more apt TO strike the for
eigner as having taken place in Boston than
in Texas, for the foreigner has
ottener heard of Boston than Texas.
He may, indeed, have an idea that
they are contiguous election boroughs, with
customs identically the same.
| Some of our northern friends, who con-
continually pirate about their sorrow that
sectional lines have not been long ago wiped
out, are hackers. morally If not financially,
Of this libel set to music. They 90 to hear
and applaud the old misrepresentation of
the south in Mrs. Stoves book, which are
believed to have done much toward bring
ing about the war, rehsshed and made more
| offensive than ever.
1t is to be regretted that the first black
opera writer made such a serious
blunder in selecting his theme, and dis
! played such race hatred in working it out.

SHERIDAN's PoINT.-During the past
four or five years negotiations have
been going on between the government
and Mr.. Julius Pelton for the purchase
of the Sheridan's Point property, below
this city, in Fairfax county This
point is almost directly opposite Fort
Washington, and the channel of the
Potomac being narrow there, with the
proper Notifications placed there AL
exandria aud Washington would be eff
fectually protected from hostile YES
sells should war with any other coun-
try take place in the future. Mr.. Pei
ton fixed the price of the tract at 500
per acre, but the government demur"
red, claiming that the price was exhorb-
liant. Appraisers were appointed at
different times, and they at first placed
a valuation of $40 per acre upon the
land. The government still held back,
claiming the price was too steep.
Other appraisers were appointed, and
the last report made on the property
put price of $50 per acre on it.
The government has finally closed the
bargain and paid Mr.. Pelton the latter
price, and the old point with its high
bluff is to be strongly fortified in o
short time. The place is on the line of
the Mount Vernon Electric Railroad,
and its ratification will stimulate
private enterprise in that section Of the
county. When the Notifications shall
have been built Sheridan's Point Cor
