Careaco, Jan. 13, 1874, . “ Roughing It sn Chicago. Jothe Edttor of i Clacago Tribune: “gm: Roughing it in the manner that Mark Twain did in California was indeed pleasant compired to tho way in which I have had to ex- perience it in Chicago for the,past two monthe. 0Op adsrk, cold, and miserablo night, eight wecks agp, Lstepped out of g railway-car from New York 1nto this great city, the emporium of {heWest. It was 9 o'clock at night. I know got where or Low to go. Following the stream of passeagers that issued from the depot, I found myself in State street. L was weak with bunger, not having tasted food for thirty-six hours. I drew out my scanty pusse. Two dollars wero left. ONLY TWO DOLLARS to fight with hunger, thirst, and cold, until I got work. In s stravge city, in a strange country ; ot & friend, not a relative, to welcome me into the bosom of their families, Through the kindness of & policeman I was directed to & * Cheap Lodging™ down on West Madison street, Isoon found it out, psid, my 25 conte, and was shown to my room. What a den! " Alarge, square ropm, with fourteen beds jnit. ‘Men, women, and children, * higgledy- piggleds,” like o 1ot of hogs in a railway-car. I hsd no choice ; s0 I took the only vacant bed left, lsid myse!f on it, and. being so fatigned, I was soon in the arms of slumber. | he following morning I was up early ; and had g better view of my fellow-siumberers. I pover neard such a confasion of tongues in_my life. It was indescribable; and I hope I shall Rever visit saca & pandemo nium again. The two dollars kept me in some shape or an- other soven days, 1 used to pay 25 ceuts for a bod, and 5 centa for a glass of beer, whon I did pot forzet to make o good meal at the free- Junch tables, which had to secve me for brealifast, anner and supper. " At the end of the week . ALY CENTS WERE FINISHED. 1 ‘shall never forget that morning, I was famishing with kunger. I was tempted bitterly $o comumut some illegal act, tast I might have but 3 crust to eat aud aroof to shelter we. Fora, week did I search the back-yards * of restanrants aud pick up the dried and frozen crustsand eat them, and thanked Heaven for such s bleszing. At pights I used to sleep in the waitiog-rooms of railway-depots, and cau- tiously creep into an idle railway-car. At the end of the two weeks I met a conntry- msn (s Welchman) with whom I was acquainted in the Old Country, and who had worked for my faber. 1 told him my position and pitiful cir- caumstances, and 1 need aot tell you tuat he was but too happy . T0 BE OF SERVICE to hisold master's sop. I am with him now, and am welcome to remain untit I have found something to do, which I hope will be soon. Reader, it may seem strange, 8s it does to_me, that for two months'I ‘cannot get something to do. Morning after’morning I used to try and meet a newsboy in some quiet cornmer, and beg of him to allow me to scan the advertiscments. Bowetimes ho would look upat me, retrsce s few steps,and, with all the impertinence of a strect- gamin, would shont out, * You're & mightily nice {eliow, dressed up like s dandy, without & cent in your pocket.” I could not retaliate, but bore the- humbiating sbuse in silence, and bent my steps in search of a more generous boy. After regding the ndvertisements, I used to go in eearch of the advertiser. Atter much trouble —to me 3 stranger—to find the address, the an- ewer 1 slways gotwas (apply early 8s I msy) “We arb suted” The places, advertised were, in nine cases out of ten, - A PERFECT HUMBUG ; for fnstance, the following out of a number : WANTED-=Ybhug men in the city out of employ- ment 10 call at —, Where permunent employment cim Le liad with fuir wages.

A week of comparative dullness followed the brilliant dramatic season of Salvini and Sothern the opera engrossing all the serious attontion of the week. The attendance at the theatres, how- ever, has improved, and managers are beginning to oxpect better days than they have had so fu:. There have been no very startling novelties during the weok, the only drams deserving that namo bewng one which ran for threa pights snd one matinee only at Hooley's. Other pieces, which have become moro or less ' familiar to the ‘public, have been played elsewhere. HOOLEY'S THEATRE. B The week opened at this theatre with ¢ Not Gulty,” a drama which was fairly recommended by Eastern critics, but which failed to produce much improssion in this city. Thiy was not the fawt of the management of the theatre, for the parts were played by some of the best members of the originally large company, while the mount- ing was in every particular worthy of the house. The fact is, however, that the drama is common-place in incident, and rather & serious Btrain upon one's credulity. That the identity of o commanding officer should be as- sumed by a person utterly ignorant of the first priuciples of military service, eave such ashe learned in a penal settlement ; that the counter- feit shouid be succesefully passed upon those who only 8 few hours previously counted the original character among their most intimate ac- quaintances ; and that this decoption shogld be sustained for a length of time, scems rather of the sensational than the realistic order. The author of the drama deserves credit for the dia-~ logue of the piecs, if for nothing else : but the clatter and smoko of the military drama con- demn it to those whoss nerves are not made of platinom. _* Not Guilty ” was followed by Mrs. Anua CoraMowatt's socioty drams of & quarter of 8 contury ago. This neat little bit of - pleasant satire was acted evenly and effectively through- out, and proved to be more attrective than its predecessor. Mondsy the popalar comedian, Mr. Charles B. Diwhop, bas a benefit, when tirco capital farces will be given,—* Tho “The, Happiest Day " and Mr. Bishop's specialty, ‘nesday, will be given, with nearly the same cast 85 before. This is & drama which had a good rum, and was re- smm very bigbly at the time of its first pro- nction Lere. 1t was plaved with spirit, and was a very even and delightful performance. Its repetition will doubtless prove acceptuble to the public at large. TIE ACADEMY OF MUSIC. John Dillon's brief season’ at the Academy of Music has been ap astonishing success, which demoustrates two facts: that Dillon has an_ex- traordinary hold upon public favor, and that his sins are freely forgivon whenever his contrition is expressed by his appearance on thestage. His benetit Fridsy nigbt was almost sn ovation, while the receipts for the week, in spite of the chilling influences of tho weather, Lave boen gratifyingly large. Mr. Gardiner hasshown once more b1 sstuteness.as a manager, and in his success in the country as well ua in the city he has tne additional satisfaction of knowing that Le has worked for it. Dillon opened with his favorite character, *“ A party by the nsme of Johnson,” in **The Lancashira Lass,” ¢ Blow for Blow " following, Thureday, while, at his benefit, ** Paul Pry ™ was put on. The present week o comedian whose name has become famil- iar to almost every theatre-goer, John E. Ow- ena. will play Solon Shingle, and Joshua Butlerby in Tom Taylor's comedy, * The Victims.” Those who remember Mr. Owens need no information regarding bis ability as an sctor ; those who do not, need only to be reminded of ‘his Toodles to recollect the amuscment he has given them in the past. THE GLODE THEATRE, ¢ Hompty Dumpty,” with Tony Denier and bis pantomime company, have been making the walls of tue Globe Theatrs echo with langh- ter for the past week. Lverybody likes pantomime, - just 88 evervbody likes the circus. . Nearly everybody says: ¢« Had to go; the children wanted ~to see ¢ Humpty Dumpty,’ and I had to take them.” DBusiness has been better at the Globe than it has for some time, and things are begin- ning to brighten here as elsewhere. Peaple must be smused, aud somebody must amuse them. When managers recognizo this fact, and cater sonsibly to the popular taste with a shrewd idea of what, the popular tasto is, they gener- ally succeed in scaring the dollars from their biding-places, to find their way into the cash- box. ~This week a change is made_from panto- .mime to negro minstrelsy, the burnt-corkers being Sharpley, Shendan & 'Mack's well-known company. The combination is now stronger than ever. the old favorites remaining and new attractions being added. Among other features of the entertainment is Willis Cobb's entire troupa of dogs, goats, and monkeys, and other performing_ auimals. Tho. famous gymnasts, M. Leopold and Mlle. Geraldine, tho Misses Alfcis Jourdan, Annie McAvoy, Ads Boshell, and vocalists, characterists, dancers, violinists, ban- joists, and comic actors contribute their share to Inaking the entertsinment a brillisat ono. MYERS' OPERA-HOTSE. ¢« Simple Simon " bas served many s good turn in his life. Patomimized, however, he has achioved the end aud aim of his existenco, having run through tho holdsy season and sur- vived public eat:ety, to o wonderful extent. But now Sinton is on the shelf azain. Where he will break ous mext, it would bo difficult to guess. Meantime the ever-busy laureate, scribe, author, plagiarist, burlesquer, or whatever he msy bo, of* the Arlington, Cotton & Kemble -Minatrel Company has wrestled successfully with current literatnre, sud produced another piece of non- sense Wl s deatined to popularity, under the seasonable title “ A Slippery Day.” Besides this, that wonderful tragedy, ** Ham-u-let,” anda powerfal military drama, ** Martiai Orders,” by Sarridge, Rice, Kayne, Kemole, Cottou, and Newcomb, and tho usual features of the enter- tainment, will Lelp out the evening.

Fuauconi, the Parigian circus man, has ‘brought action for 10,000 francs damages against tha prop- ietor of a cafe concert for annouucing the exhibition of & double-headed, four-legzed, bibrachiste woman, The phenomenon proved to be two women strapped together.

The Vokes Family and the comodian Leffng- woll are playing in farce at Niblo's, and this ex- cess of comio genius impels the Herald to say that “It may be the great hulking romantic loafer of the first piece idolizing his Matilda Jane Chummy, or it may be the boneless Vokes of the second 'apostrophizing a tinpot moon, it is all the same which—one is as idiotic as the other—both are Comedy with its head shaved and gnoning through the bars of Bedlam, A large audience fairly shrieked its way,through two hours anda Lalf of this passion in Bystérica, Boba in chuckles, songs in shrieks, and dances in contortions.” Mlle. Desclee, the distinguished French sc- tress,—whose racent successes have placed her in the front rank of dramatic artists,—has been attacked by a painful disease, which threatens to banish her from the stage. In a leiter, pub- Lshed in the Temps, she says: ¢ Beside my sufferings, which are constant and insupport- able, I have the dreadful prospect of baving to ‘bear them for a long while to come. No physi- cian can promise me an end to my torments. ‘These may last for years. tey say. A whole life of patience, of courage, of labor, aud of strug- gle; at length I reach ihe goal ; sod—I sink 1n the harbor.” Daring the celebrated intorviow between the critic of Wilkes' Spiritand Matilda Heron, the following episode i gaid to have evlivened the conversation : Critic—Do you think John Brongham could write s 001 o comeds ns * London Assurance,” which is called oucicault’s greatest play 77 Miss H.—(Having just been engaged in fixing the fire, turned nercely upon Critic, menacing him, poker inBand.

Others may claim i¢. _Contelnporaries know tho author and posterity will proclaim him. Boucicault wrote only the smallest part of * London Assurauce,” and he has never yet had the manliness to give John Brougham credit for any part of it. .Ovwing to the sbuse in Cinciunati places of .amusement of the secured-seat feature, that city has enacted a law that managers of places of amusement cannot reserve seas after the com- mencement of s performance, but that any one purchasing a ticket after the hour for the cur- tain to rise, or the entertainment to begin, will Do entitled to any seat he may find unocoupied in that portion of the house to which his ticket odmits him. The Cinciunati Commercial says the ordinaace grew out of the flagrant abuse by the managens of the practice of reserving scats. During & recent performanco of *Hamlet at Sydney, an accident bebind tho scenes caused somo alarm. _*Whilst Polonius was dolivering bis sublime admonition to his son-(ays the Syd= ney Morning Herald of Nov. 3), there sas a loud explosion a8 of a blast in a mne, followed by a concnssion of tho air that extnguisbed every Iight in the house, which was of course plunged- in darkness. Great was the consternation that eusaed. Prolonged seresming procoeded from the feminine portion of the auditorium, aund there was a general_rush for the doors, This would have resulted in serions accidents, but, with grest presence of mind, the stage-manager caused the footlights to be lit, and hastening “with Miss Green nad others upoa the stage, as- sured the terrified people that there was no dan- ger. Mr. Fairclough also :‘fpunied to them to retain their seata. This had tho desirel effect, and after the house had been reilluminated and a short interval allowed to permiv the smoko that had gathered upon the stago tc clear away, the play proceeded. Tho report, which was dis- tinctly heard all over the neighborhood, resulted from the accidental explosion of some gas; but, fortunately, no damage was done.” A Paris letter contains the following: “ AL Sardon has just brought out_zoother most scan- dalous piece. *Les Marveilleuses' is a start- ling piece of immoralicy. There is one charac- ter who comes upon tue stage draped in gauze, and, although the woman is probaoly clothed in tights, ooture has been 8o well imitated in every minute detail that every one believes her nbso- lutelynaked. There is & suppreased cry of *Oh!’ and a startled look of conjusion wheuever she appears upon the stage, Thesim of the piece is 1o show the follies of the Directory, and it is no excnse that this picco of apparent nudity is driven awsy and ducked in the fountain. M. Sardou pretends to picture the costume of the time with fidelity, but he hasa dozen different styles of ladics' Lats. Theso ladies were not gided by fashion at that time. The picce is a piece of folly, and, to my miud, more pornicious than the *Liquour d'Or,’ just suppresscd. Let mo baston to say that this was not suppressed for the obscenity in 1t, but because tho actors made use of obacenities which had been cut out by the censor.” 5 music, The first week of the opera season has closed with great success, and the record of * Lucrezis Boigia,” ** Martha,” ¢ The Huguenots,” *‘Aida,"” and Faust," is something to be remembored with pleasuro by opera-goers. In looking back upon the week's work, the performance of ** The Huguenots” was perhaps tho most striking of: sll in some respects. The lateness of thehour &t which the performance closed on Wednesday night rendered it impossible at that tims to re- cord apything more thau the fact of the great success which Madamie Nitsson achieved. Thero were fealurcs of the performance, however, which deserve more than & mere casual notice. V" The Huguenots " is & tost opera; the rcles of Valentin and Raoul are test roles; and tho grond dao of the fourth act is a test duo. This characteristic might in resli- ty apply also to nearly overy other Tole. . Fragmentary_sud disconnected as the firet throe acts are, in a musical point of view, they yet make s demand of a very pressing nature upon singers, and, for an adequate repre- sentation, the{‘ should have great artists. In this respect the cast was weak. Signor Nau- netti, alihongh somo allowances must ba made for sh indisposition'under which ho was_suffer- ing. did not Tige to_the phveical grandeur af the storn old Huguenot saldier, who fought with pealm and aword, nor to ite exalted spiritual in- spuation. The rugged inflexibility of purpose. the cool defisnco of danger, the reliance upon & higher will aod power, and the proud, aithongh homely, dignity of bearing of theold soldier, were but feebly Tepresented at beat. im- prossiveness, power, and depth of voice, also, ‘hich should characterize this part, bothin the choral music sud recitative, he:was" also want- ing. The parts of De Bris, DeNevers, and Tavannes were also lacking in power to sl out the coucerted parts, sod give them the proper effoct, #ud the .chorus and orchestrs "t times wese sadly mixed up.

Maresi's art ol’llurgue‘rile is a slight oue, but she filled } with dignity, snd seng it as well a8 her paturally light voice would permit. - - The musical climax of the opers i3 in the grand uo of the fourth act, between Raoul and Valen- tin, » number requiring the most intenee passion and dramatio sirength. Thore much l silly talk of tho coldness of Nilsson, and of the imposaibility that this Swedish singef of tho North conid ever hope to attain greatness in roles which demanded pasaionand overwhelming intensity, The performance of this £coneisa sufficient answer to such twaddle. From the commencement to the close, Nilsson's persona- tion, both in # dramatic sod yocal sense, was & perfect crescendo of power. Although there are characters in which we can - conceive that Lucca must be her superior, the latter has never given us & histrionic picture comparable to this intense and passionate strog- gle of Valentin toeave Raoul. The impetuos- Ity with which she forces him into concealment, the horror wath which she listans to the details of the massacre as they are arranged, the re- strained delight she expreeses as De Nerers breaks his sword rather than stain’his good pame with murder, the confession of love to Raoul, and then, 2 the signals for the massacre to commence are heard, the sbsolute freezing horror which shows itaelf in her blanched fuce 88 she looks out of the window, and the fearful struggle with Raoul to prevent him from going out and exposing himself to certain death, make up the most consummste Tevelation of arlistic power which has yet been ghown to an sudience in this city. In & dramatio point of view, it is worthy a place by the side of some of the great scenes of Ristori. And when to this is to_be added her beautifal and thrilling voice, trained in the most perfect mothod, with every _ note in it partaking of & smootn and sweot quality, which are peca- liarly Nilssonish, and make it impos:iblo of com- parison with any other charactcr, we have a completeness of representation and an artistic perfection which aro not_often. vonchsafed (o opera-goers. The admirablo manner in which Campanini took Lis part of the duet, trying as it must have boen to & singer who was not in his best voice, 8 worthy of all praise. We do not know what the rest of the season msy have in store for us, but it certainly canaot have any- thiug superior to the fourth act of the ** Huguo- nots.” That petformance is & souvenir to bo laid away with the choicest of musical memo- ic3. There have been many other featurea of more thanordinaryinterest inthe week's performauces, among them the reprosentations of Mignon " and the new opera of * Aida.” The former was ono of the most perfect representations ever given upon our lyric stage, and the latter cer- tainly the most brilliaot and georgeous in its mise en scene. A8 both these operas will be re- ented this week, we earnestly advise those who ave not seen them to improve the otponunif_v.

The great hall was crowded with a brilliant sudi- ence, sad At the close toere was an unpusual ex- pression of satisfaction, not only coucerning the ‘ments of the concert, but the unusually pleasant and social entertamnment which the Club pro- vidod for its guests. Tho musical features of the evening were the following songs for the Club: Zoeliner's ** Health tothe Fairest ;" Girsch- ner's “ Beware;” Darnby's “Sweet aud Low ;" Mangold’s * Forest;” BSchumaon's “ Dreamy Lake;"” Mendelssohn's “ Love and War;” Muel- ler's “Sercuade;” Stern's ‘‘Soldier's Depar- ture;” Seiferss “Alwaya Aore;” Nen- delssohn’s * Huntsman's Farewell;” Durner's “Spring Song.” and Trubn's “Three Morry Chafers.” In sddition to this attractive and varied eelection, Mr. Reuling, one of the new members of the Club, who bas an_excellent tenor baritone voice, sang two numbers, Mr. Foltz and Mr. Bowen had solos, and Mrs. 0. L. Fox took the soprauo solo in Kuecken's ** Hio thee, Shallop.” A novel innovation was made by the Club upon the previous style of giving its concerts, which met with complete success. Tha lower floorof the hall was set with tables, and light rofreshments were served. 'This gave the mem- bers of the Club an opportunity to make up little parties, and as the intcrmissions were lengthoned Littls social cslls were made from tabie' to table. Tho result was a most delightfully-social evening. The ice once broken , the tables were speedily filled, and the only regret was that the hall would not hold more. As this feature, which was new to an American audience, was €0 eutirely success- ful, it will be repeated at future concerts. After the concert, the floor was cleared for the dauce, and over 100 couples remsained until a late hour. Tne Club is entitled to great credit for the su cess with whicl it carried out its bold experi- ment, and the elegant manner in which it gave its entertainment—facts which will make its concerts hereafter more popular than ever. TOE BEETHOVEN SOCIETY'S CONCERT. The newly-organized Baethoven Sacioty, un- der the direction of Mr. Carl Wolfsohn, madeits firut subhc appearance on Thursday cvening at Standard Hall, in the fi1st of a series of four re- coptions which it proposes to give during the season to its associate members, with an exceed- ingly tasteful programmo, which inciuded “The Heavens Proclaim” and * God is My Song "— two devotionsl songs by Beetboven; ** The Wa- ter Lily," by Godo; * The Wanderer's Song,” by Schumann;" the Loheogrin *¢ Bridal Cho- rus,” by Wagner; the ** Hallelujsh Chorus,” by Boethoven; and the “ Blanche do Provence” of Cherubini, for female voices—besides a quatuor for pisno, violin, viola, and violoncello of Bee- thoven, by Mesers. Wolrsohn, Lewis, Allen, sod Diem; ‘“Tema e Variazicni” for piano and ¢ollo, 'by Mendelssohn, (Messra. Wolfssohn and Diom) and_rondo for iwo_pianos, performed by Mrs. B. F. Hadduck acd Mr. Wolfsohn. The choral numbers wero executad in & very intelligent and eatisfactory manner, nad, consid= ering the limited time of rehearsal, showed that tho Society hos bad excollent drilling, and that thers is An earnestness of purpose amoug its ‘members sufficient to guaranteo still more fin- ished results hereafter, Tho parts are not yet nicely ndjusted. as might be expected of 8o young an organization, but they aro sulliciently o to insure an enjoyable performance, and will doubtless have rccessions to the weaker places, which will still further improve the favor- ablo * result of their first appearance. ‘'hie instrumental numbers were admirably done, and formod & very prominent feature of the en- tertaibment. “Tho Society numbers in its astive membership many of the best amateur musicians of the city, and wo underatand that one of its objects will bo to foster such talent. By its first concert the Beethoven Society bas undoubtedly earned s covstore,” with Nilson a3 Leomora. W > 11, Recitation—* God Blesa You”, pL Qnanew;"n,g;}xcwgmnéj fem - e olcen ™. .

It is stated that Madamo Monbelli will xccom- pany Dr. von Bulow in his American tour. Madame Schumann played s new concerto by Herr Brahms at the seventh Gewandhaus coucert in Leipzig. Patti was called forward aixty times at a racent performance of “ Faust™ in Moscow, and efter the third act received a eplendid brooch com- posed of diamonds and pearls. “ Tannbauser * was lately remounted at th= Theatre de la Monnaie, Brussols, but_the Brt ellois daletianti declined to goand seo it. Unless they left tha city they must have heard it. The wife of Presideut Mac)Mahon has sent for Strauss, the well-known chef-d'orchestre, to arrange with him for the receptions which are to take place at tho Elysce, ke _ Miss Keilogg's English Opera Company (which is now in Waslungton) will begiu a short seann at the New York Academy of Ausic on Wednus- day, the 21st mst. New York's Iutest organization in rivalry of the Handel and Haydu Society is the Oratorio Society, under the lead of Dr. Leopold Dem- rosch. £ Mr..Carl Rosa's opora company have just con- cluded & montu’s successful engagement a’ the Teatro Royal, Dubliu, and are now perfoixing at the Thentre Royal, Cork. M. Gounod's sacred work, *Tho Ammancia- tion,” the text compiled from the Scripti:es by Mrs, Weldon, has been dedicated by thu com- poser to the Queen, by special permiesion. A movement has ‘been set’on foot ir Edin- burgh to enable musical degrees to ba caaferred by oiher British universivies tban Oxfard and Cambridge, Dr. Oakeley, the Piofesror of Musicin Edinburgh Univeraity, bas siguified his approval of the proposal. 3 Rouconi hags mado a great. hit in the Havans Opers in * Linda di Chamounix” snd ** La Figlix del Reggimento.” The managemert tele- graphed to Tambeilix to return on his ovn terms, but ha had left for Earope. Offenbach_bas_gone to Nice in search _of repose. It is believed, however, that he hos taken with him the score of *‘ Orphee aux l3n- fers,” intending to make some considerable nug- meatations and additions to it. He will havo to reach a still warmer latitute before perfectinysit; James G. Spenight, the bright and vivacious® whose phenomenal powers as s mu-- littlo boy sician have formed such an attractive featuro of. the representations of the * Nuiad Queen " at the Boston Theatra, died recently, very suddunly, of heart diseasé. ' Mile. Schneider, the opera bouffo prima don- ns, bus, it 18 stated. purchased a plot of ground in the Avenue de I'lmperatrice, for whict: she has paid nearly £50,000. The residence which the Grand Duchess intends to build on her new property will cost when completed up- wards of 1,000,000 francs (£200,000). The most remackable recent musical composi- tion appearing 1n England is an oratorio by iac- farren, the blind composer, chiefly known in this conntry by Lis dainty sougs. Tle theme is St. John the Daptist, and the libretto, written, it said, with a"felicitons simplicity, follows strict- ly the Gospel narrative. Mlle, Donadio, s Parisian prima domna, is spoken of as a sort of diluted mixture of Nilsson aad Patti, the physiquo of the first, the vocalism of the second ; but weakened in either case, bien enfendu. 1t is nof to be expected we should get a Patti and a Nilsson rolled mto one. Her voice is pure, well timbree, sud carrics far and clearly. She has the prevalent curae of the vibrato, but | that is to be expected. Those who saw Blondin make his perilons trip across Niagara River, a number of years g0, walking on a tight-rope and carrying & man on back, will. if their regollection of faces i8 zood, recogmize in the genial and courteons gentleman who takes tickets st tho Itnlian opera the daring individual who was the sole passencer over the raging torront at Nisgara on that occasion. Years ago, when Gounod was poor and up- known, he sold the copyright, for Englsud, of lus Faust for $800. Now, since the world-wide fame of this opera and its immense snccess in England, the composer feels sore over the bar- Foin he mads, and vents his discontent in the Pall Mall Gazetle that he reaps no benefit from the frequent represen$ations of the picce in that country. v The tenor, Arturo Gentilo, who loft the Roman Catholic Church for ti:e stagd, bos returned to his first vocation and been admitted as a novice in & Domipican movastery. . It is said that dur- ing o professional toar in'Germany. a short time since, ho had to sing in some of Herr R. Wag- nor's operss. His mind became afterwards slightly deranged, and ho resolved to retite from the world. Gregorian chant will bo the * music of the faturs” for hira. While the adoption of a uniform pitch is still a vexed question in many parts of Europe, tho Civic Council of Rome has solved the problem, 83 far as that city is concerned, by voting & sum of 50,000 lire for the expente of lowering the placo among the mstitutions of the city deserv- ing of a hearty support, aud will fill a very im- portant placo in the musical fild of Chicago, which cannot but greatly advance its ar! culture. The second reception of the Society will occur on Thursday evening, Feb. 26. MUSICAL CONVENTION. The first musical convention ever held at Kid- der,.Mo., took place last week in Thayer College, locazed in that city, under tho direction of Prof. . 8.

Thero will be, mo doubt, an intlux ut both honses of novices, the impresarios hoping to introduce some singers to break down the pernicious influence of “ stara,” whoro tyranny s as fiancially ruinous asit is tatal for the intorests of the lyric drama. A correrponilent in Havana, writes under date of Dec. 26, thrt on tho first night of the opers the future of Jarrett’s enterprise was doubtful. The eeason commenced on the 18th of Decem- ber, with “T.a Sonambals,” Murska as Amina, and a tenor named Verati as Elcino. He hasa fair voico and sings with good taste, but could not pleaso the severe critics in the galleries, who hooted, and howled, and hissed, till he was g0 frightanéd that ho nearly broke down, and had not the courage to appear again for scme days, but be was then well received. Luces and Murska have made great successes, but Vizzani has to sing every night, sud were he to ill- tbo opers would have to stop. Jarrett has, I believe, lcleEnphed to Jlexico for some tenor, name unknown. The subscription iu about £80,000, as when Tamberlik came snd announced that ho_was not to sng with the company some $25,000 were withdraw: **Scoambula,” ““ Fanst,” “Linda,” *Favorita " have'been performed, and ** Martha” and “ La Figha” aro announced. Audiences here are very critical and do not hesitate to show their diupleasure rather more plainly than theartistes always admire, though, perhaps, tbe discipline is salatary after the indiscriminate applause they are sccustomed to. The contralto is a Mmoe. Mazzuca, who has a respectablo voice. iow the people can put up with two such howl- ©ors a8 Mari and Rosi-Galli I caunot understand, but they are well known here, and perhaps tol- erated from old associations. The company re- mains abont six_weeks longer, and then, I be- lieve, starts for Mexico. The Zartford Post of Fridsy last gives the | tollowing curious veof tho adventures of abelated concert company and thé exemplary patience of an audience: * Theodore Thomas was announced to give a concert in Waterbury last mght. The ccmpany. about seventy in number, left New York on the noon train.. Ou arriving at Bridgeport they found that, owing to the washing away of several bridges by the flood on the Nangatuck Railroad, they would be unable to reach \§nerbnry by that route. They dined and talked over the situation, and then took the train via New Havento Berlin; thenco they went by branch road to New Britain. Here they obtained, through the Lindness of Supern- tendent ' McManus, o epecial train for Water- bury. All went well uontil the train reached T ille. There . it was found that o heavily-laden train bad got off the track. Five cars, loaded with iron, and the engine, were piled up in hopeless confusion. It was evident that the prospect of reaching Waterbury in time for the concert had vanished. The ageats tele- graphed the state of affairs, 2nd #aid the troupe wonld arrive ‘as soon as possible.’ A special train came ont from Waterbury to find them; and eventually the company arrived in Water- buryat a time when the corcert should have been over. Proceeding tothe hall,—whers there was yet a patientaad goodly audience,—the com- paoy, withswallow-tailed costs and white cravata, marchod upon the stage, took their placos, and at 11 o'clock Theodore Thomas, as pleasant aud smiling as ever, liftad bis baton, and the concert began. It was 'a fine one, and was onjoyed by all. It lasted for two hours; the first timo Waterbury ever had the sensation of & past mid- night concert.” MY LESSON.
