MUSIC.
OPERA IN ENGLISH.

Martha more than pretty opera. more
than prettily performed the Metropolitan Opera
House last night. Singular. some people might say
IN view OF the many changes which have come
over opera since Martha, singular that the
charm of Flotow's opera has suffered such slight
decay; but II Is not singular. II once a rep
resentative German opera-Liszt began his operatic
career as conductor at Weimar, the cradle of the

Patti, some ten years later celebrated her twenty
fifth anniversary at the old Academy of Music she
could think OF nothing better to sing than the
music Of the Lady Enrichetta in Marta" What

This we fear. is sentiment yet it is to the credit
of Mr. Savage's opera company that last nights

GOOD GROUND NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
AND THE INFATUATED INHABITANTS
THINK THAT BAYHAMPToN IS BETTER.

THINK THAT BAYHAMPTON IS BETTER.
The insanity of changing the names of places is
still prevalent Long Island, Just lockjaw is
said TO be. 1t has fallen upon Good Ground now,
and they are going to change the name to Bay
hampton. AS Is almost universally the when
the name of place is changed, name which has
distinction is to be given up for which has
There is probably other place in the
world called Good Ground. The name is original
agreeable distinctive, unique. There may be no
other place in the world called Bayhampton but
the sounds essentially commonplace and
If there might be a dozen others The reason of
the change is said to be that some Of the inhabi-
tants did not believe that the name suggested life
enough for place that depended largely upon the
summer patronage of New-Yorkers" Just how
"Bayhampton" is any more suggestive of life than
Good Ground is puzzle.
It is most reprehensible habit. this of changing
long standing names, but probably 1t Will on
long silly people prefer that which is cheap
and which they regard as snowy to what Is digni-
fed and picturesque and established. The best
names in this country the Indian names which
belonged to the soil from the first and which are
different from anything else in the world. Next
to these the names which were given by early
settlers and were in some way descriptive Of the
places. Probably Good Ground of these.
Next in value the many which were named IN
affectionate remembrance of homes left behind.
Almost the worst those which named in
servle Imitation of other places not in aectionate
remembrance of them, and worst of all are those
which are named after prominent investors with
''villes' and ''burgs" added Now and then the
New-York Board of Aldermen takes dislike to
some name which has stood for centuries. and
then maps and title deeds and recollectons are
confused and some Tammany heller is glorifed by
the change of the name of a street. The whole
ha bit is useless meddlesome and thoroughly repre-
hensibe.
