first incursion into the domain OF Ger
man opera. No other Of Wagner's music
dramas possesses in so great a degree the
qualities that appeal to the music LOVING

tuner promises a sartorial exhibit which
will lend lustre to the investiture. The
wealth of detail characteristic of these
productions will again be strikingly- in
evidence. A force of supernumeraries has
been engaged to heighten the effect of
the superb tableaus and picturesque

be augmented for the occasion. The great

his constituents have given up the hope
less fight they were making against the

He was asked if Mr.. Burns or any of
his followers had resigned. but he re-

GOING TO THE CHURCH FAIR.
Come Beny. come, put on your frock
And brush your hoary hair,
We want to &c by eight o'clock

OF groceries cream,
And Yankee notions, real and mock,
And many such a scheme:
AS games of chances, raffling tricks,
And voting for 1.-THE Bestrv
They sell the ice cream by the bricks
And let you never restt
Remember, when we first were wed,
You were yet in your teens,
And at a table, lovely spread
You sold us Pork and Beans!!"
AT old st. Joseph's fair it was,
You. as a charming bride
BeWitched them all. and brother "Ras.s
Did never cav your side.
He ute ten plates Of pork and beans
Ard treated brother John"
UnZl his rather lender means
Ran out, n all was. gonel
And ev'n the Reverend Father was
Quite smitten with your grace,
Benevolent smiles, and roguish gloss,
Beamed on his goodly facet
He gave a rattle chance to you,
For a fine silver set.
And you were lucky, now it's true,
It's on our ~sideboard yeti
The folks nowadays are others though
From what they used to be,
Where pork and beans was all the go,
It's turkey, now, you seel
Where calico and linen frills
Were thought a fine attire,
It's silk and lace nowadays that thrills
The eyes that do admire!
But let that be now as 1t is,
It's fin'lly all he same,
Where charity our hearts doth bliss,
What is there in a name?
IL Protestant or Catholic,
The minds are sweet as milk,
And our hearts as WarInly tick
Meath calico or silk
ON Beny, come, put On your frock
And brush your hoary hair,
For we will go at eight O'Clock

Legislative Outlook.


Next Tuesday, at high noon, the one
hundred and twenty-third session of the
New Jersey Legislature will open at the
State House in Trenton. The decision OF
the Supreme Court, that David o. wat
kins' title to the office of Acting Gov
ernor is good, has cleared away much
mist which had gathered on the legisia-
tive sea, and the indications are that all
win be plain sailing.
AS far as the Democrats are concerned
everything is ready for taking up at once
the business of the State, but the Re-
spublicans have some highly important
essentials to arrange before the start IS
made, as, for example, the apportlonment
the ten or a dozen pages with a SAL
If 5000 per annum among the thirty
en- Republican members of the Assem-
E first week will be taken up with
krganization and arranging the nee
preliminaries for successfully
ing the session on its way. Little
matters connected with the in
lion of Governor VOORHEES, viii be
during the second week, and
homes the election of a United
ator. so that it will be close
(ary 1 when the Legislature set
IN to business.
There are many predictions of a short
-
session, but experience has shown these
predictions to be unreliable. Session after
session has started off tamely enough,
with every Indication of dull, short and
uninteresting proceedings, only to be
stirred up by some unexpected measure
which has awakened the entire State and
kept the Legislature together until the
robbins appear.
There are hints of such an occurrence
this year. The United States Pipe Line,
4 a determined rival to the Standard Oil
4 Company, is trying to get to the New
York Bay shore with its eonduits from
the oil fields of Pennsylvania. It is now
= Washington, N. J., where it is held
by the Pennsylvania and Delaware,
Laekawanna and Western Railroad Com
ypanies. Every court has decided against
1t and its only relief can be obtained from
the Legislature. It is said that the
United States Company will attempt, this
session, to have a law passed, allowing 1T
to run it's pipes under the bed of these
railroads, and a long and bitter fight
between these two great rivals is ex-
pected.
There will be a large number of bills
affecting the government of every class
LOT municipality, from the city of the first
class to the sea side borough, and, as
what is considered a benefit to one NUM-
cipality in a class is generally held to
be to all the others of that
class, there is sure to be fighting all
along the line.
Al attempt is to be made to pay the
Jerseymen, who volunteered for the war,
y FOR the time during which they were
waiting TO be mustered in and the diff
erenGe between the pay of a State
klitiaman and the regular army soldier
urfng the time they are in the Govern
Enent's service. Several other important
Measures are up the sleeves of various
members and there are plenty indications
of a lively and interesting session.

SOME Republicans are showing much
Governors salary, which they declare
comes from the Democratic party. In this
they are entirely mistaken. 1t is true that
the Trenton common scold, the ssTrue
American is yawping along in that line,
but no one takes seriously the Democracy
OF the True American or its authority
to speak for the party. It's policy, d.
rected by q nature too small to rise above
self, is so erratic and inconsistent tina no
one in the Democratic party relies on
anything it says, and there is no reason
that the Republicans should pay any at
