Bragyiy 1 ACADEIY OF arUETC. Zatiars bave been rather light dur- ing'the past week, Mr. Frank Chanfrau m nopolizing the gieater portion of the public in- terest with his specialty, in'*‘ The Arkansas Traveler.” Mr. Chanfrau isan actor of long ex- perience, and Las distingaished himsolf in many roles. But it is a strango fact that an actor to- day can, if ho bo not absolutely a genis, so- curoa liold on the public oniy by.jdentifying bimself with one particular part. Jeffersomr is chatned to Rip for life. Frank Mayo is growin, into favor ss Davy Crocket daily, Fr: Chanfrau finds Ki¢ moro remunerative than a repertoire. 8o he identifics himself with Kil, lays nothing eclse, and contents himsel? oy sedulously elaborating his one crea- tion in place or creating moro characters, The consequence ie that a few characters are becoming very fiulphudlpumonaliona. and suchis r. Chanfrau’s Kif, It is not unwor.hy of the serious efforts of agood actor, such a3 Mr, Canfrau, and will live for soveral sessons yot. Alr. Jellezson could atill play. Rip for yoars to come, but the chaic gells him, and he would willingly rid bimself of it. Mr. Chanfran sees 00 such prospect before Lim, It cannot be said that nis dramais not legitimate, It is & type of real lifo, rude, rongly, aud repugnant to civiliza- tion, Butit Las its counterpart in some of the old English dramas. All that it requires is the hand of & muoster to draw tho characters, and an acior {0 proscut them properly. The leading roleiain such hands, and is in its WAy & very fire and admirable presentation of the charac- ter. It Las been wouderfully successful in drawing good housce. flie Academy has been filled every night. It will be retained through the week.” Tho excellent mounting of the piace bas done much to insure its success. . A rather more startling drama of Western lifa i8 ta bo preseuted next week, when the groat tragediau, Buffalo Bul, with his company, will present 2 mew drama, eatitled *“Tho Scouts.” The company consists of Buffalo Bill,-Texns Jack, Morlacchi, tho promiero danscuse, Frark Mordaunt, Elize Hudson, and several othiors. i1t no;n.a}'a THEATRE. _The vagaries ol e publio dofy anal; and disappoint speculation. The liwlieumbun of modern comedies die of innnition, and the flery drawmn thrives in their stead. In sheor dis- gust Mr. Hooley put ‘‘The Streets of New Yori " on the stage on Monday to & miserable house. Tuesday night business was a triflo bot- ter. It continued to improve. The Wednes- day matisece was fair; Wednesday night Letter etill. Thursday night the house was filled. _Every st sold. _ Friday night was a benefit night for Messrs, Whitaker aad Miller, 2nd again the house was crowded. Yesterday afternoon it was crowded again for another benofit, and last night it was again throoged. Dut for the benefits, which were as- tonishingly succesaful for tho attaches, the honse would have cleared with this suciext impossi- bLiiity more than it hoe done formonths. What is tho encouragement to managors to Becuro nov- eltios when the public does not want them ? To-morrow Mr, Blaisdell's farewell benefit will bo given. The bill consists of thres picces: the comedy “ Americsaa in Paris,” s wild ab- surdity eniitled * Bishop Sent to tho Armory by Giddens,” n which these two comed:aus and Georfo ‘Cooper will_participate, snd the popular Irish drama, “ Robert Emmet,” con- cluding with Emmet’s famous address fo the court, will climax the bill, Tuursday evening, tho most popular como- disn in this aty, and s favorito of overy city, Mr. C. B. Bisbop, will have a bene- fit.' The bill is not announced, but it will undoubtedly be a good one. Tuosday and Wednesday nights, the company will present & comedy. ‘Tho remainder of the week will begiven up to Aimee and Opera Boutfe. 2¢'VICKER'S THRATRE. ‘Tho company bave baen very successful dur- ing the past week in lichigan cities, playing to exceliont business st Anun Arbor, Jackson, Kala-~ mazoo, Battle Creek, and Niles, with Magge Mitchell.

The attractions were without equal since the opening of the house, This week thoy are to be greatar than eyer. The principal feeture of the week is the performance of the lovely and daring lady gymnast, Leona Dare, without exception the handsomest aud most remarkable performer in the country in her line, and equaled only by Karl Lind, the equilibrist. In addition to this attraction aro tho Kiralfy Corypliees, and 8 now_pantomine by Sig. Constantine, entitled ** The Three Dwarfs.” MYERS' OPERA-HOUSE.

Bach to Liszt; and Musical Literature, including a list of over 600 works in differont lauguages. Prof. Ritter meditates next & work on Music in America. A now opera, by Mr. J. H. Bonawitz, of Phila- delphia, was brought ont with success in that city last week. It is called “The Bride of Afcs- sius," and is fonnded on Schilier’s tragedy. ‘The Bulletin says: Asa musical compasition, we do not besitate to pronounce it to be the grand- est that has over bad its first production in America.

The work of writing oporas continnes with nn- abated industry in Burope. TIn fact it is almost impossible to keep track of them, so rapidly do they appear. Among the latest Ennouncements aro the followlng: “ Tho Sleeping Beauty,” by Henry Littolf, brought ont 1ecently in Paris with success; ‘‘Lcs Parisiennos,” a four-act opera buffo, by M. Vasseur ; ** Dio Folkunger,” by Kretechmer, produced stccessfully at Drea- den “Agnes von Hohonstauffen,” by Horr Marpurg, favorably received at Dadon; ‘*Po- trarque, fi“‘ ippolyte Duprat, prodaced ab Lyous with success; * Caligola,” by Sigaor DBrogs, & failure ; ‘‘Balvator Ross,” by Carlos Gomoy, produced in Gonoa with astonishing succesd ; and ** La Cacciata del Duca d' Atens,” by Sigoor Bucchini, received with moderate fa- vor. In nddition to these works a now oratorio, or sacred drama, *Mary Magdalen,” by Masse- not, & pupil of Ambroise Tnomss, is meeling with succeds in Paris. 2R. PEASE'S CONCERT.

A Jltmnese operetta called the ‘“Belle Bainars,” was recontly given with great success at a private entortainmentin Paris, and the Lon- don journals express the opinion that it would take 1mmensely as a first piece in that city.

The overturs was Intely brought out at the Gaioty, Dablin. It is eaid that Mlle. Bolocea is engaged for America, for the spring of 1875 ; but it i3 more than probable that she will bo retained at the Paris Italiens, where M. Strakosch will probably renew his Italisa operatic venture next De- cember. In addition to the Parcpa-Ross scholarship in the Royal Acedemy of Music, Roea has ex- pressed his intention of founding, by his will, a similar scholarship in the Ubited States, the in- come of which 14 to be expended in educating American female singers in Italy. A London critic, afcer hearivg the first effort befors an English sudicace of & new prima donns from Italy, sums up the matter by saying that “ Mlle. Lodi's eyes and hair are all that can be desired. Her figure, too, is charming, and, 1ad she but a voice, it would be really dificult to say too mach 1n her favor.” Liszt has just performed in Vienns, his first appearance in public concert since 1844.

Another Letter from Mr. Rich- ard P. Morgan, Jr. His Plan for an Elevated Railway. Brooxxaro, 1L, April 22, 1872, To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune : Bm : The necessity for some bstter means of transit between the parts of the large cities of the world occupied for businoss-purposes and those occupied for residences than any now ox- isting, is one that has long been felt, and year by year grows moro urgent. Asthe distances between the partsof the cities used for business and those occupied "By dvwellings increaso, the inconvenionco and loss of time caused thereby incroases also; so tuat, in the future, this waat will be more and more folt, until somo relief is found. Experignce has shown that the nes of animal- power, however applied, is insdequate to meet the demand made upon it; and it is conceded that some mechanical appliance must be used. While roveral metnods of propulsion have been sugzested, there 18 but ono that has demonstra- ted its utility by its use throughout the civilized world. The fact that THE LOCOMOTIVE-ENGINE has, by resson of its greater safety, officiency, and economy, superseded every other contrivance for the conveyance of both persons and property on land, is conclusive proof that to it we must 1ook for the means of transporting the vast num- ber of persons moving between the different parts of all great cities. For this reason, a light and perfectly inclosed locomotive is mdvocated (the weight of-which, it ia belioved, nood not exceed five tons), though, it it ehould be found desirable, any of the various forms of enginos could be readily applied, and sny of the proposed motors which may prove to be useful substitutes for steam would be availa- blo. In order to make the locomotive usefal, it must work upon atrack specially adspted to it ; and this cannot bo upon the surfaco of sny stroot withont greatly interforing with, and, in- déed, evon destroying its ordinary use. It fol- lows that any railway for the object desired should either b, first, below tho surface of the stroet ; or, second, in & new avenue to bo opened for the railroad ilself ; or, third, elovated sbove tho atreet. Itis probable that but little improvement conld be made in the plans already before the public for sub-surface tracks, nor to those which contemplate the opening of 8 nes avenue unsed only by the railroad. Whatever objections justly exist to either of these methods ate inherent, and cannot be obviated by any change in the de- tail of their conscruction. It is well nodorstood that many porsons are roluctant to admit the nscessity of any railroad in an imporsant street of & city s tend- ing to disfigure it. It is fully believed that tho structure proposed would roally bo ornsmontal rather than otherwise. Dut cer- tain other considerations should not bo over- looked. Cities oxist as places of business; thoy are crested as marts of commerce; and the roa- sonable claima of business men for the facilities which they need have the right to be FIRST CONSIDERED. Already any such streat will have ceased, to a great domes, to bo s street of residence; it will havo become chiofly s business-avenue, and, therefors, tho future of that strect should be considered mainly in that aspect. If an elevatod railway can b constracted of sufficient capacity, and po 8s nob practically o interfers with the presont use of the streats in any respect, nor with the light or ventilation of the adjacent Dnildings, it will possess adyantages pecaliar to itself. The plan now submitted for constructing & railivay over tho carrisge-way of tho straet, it is believed, possesses the vital merits which should sccure its sdoption, and is frco from many objections which are made against other lans. ? While the plan hereafter to be described, it is believed, would be as useful in the transporta- tion of property asany railroad notupon the surface of the ground, still that does not seem to be the problem to bo solved, nor is it the uso for which the proposed road i8 mainly intended. ) THE DESIGN 18, to st up, at suitable intorvals, say about 75 feet, wrought-iron Gothic arches, the base of each arch or rib to be on the sidewalk pear the curb- stone, s0d the apex over tho centre of tho street. At such a height above the street, 83 not to in- terfore with it use for ordinary purposes, a flet elliptical arch of iron is to bo thrown scross the streot from one to tho other of the arch or ribs before mentioned. From the middle of tnia to the apex of th outer arch, a longitudinal iron truss supports principally the tracis, sided by similar trusses on either side. Between these outer trusses, and passing across the bottom chord of tho middlo one, ar3 laid, at suitable intervals, the floor-besms, also of ifon, which support the tracks. Theso are to e connected by diagonal tension-rods, so that thoy shall act as a horizontal truss to_prevent any Iateral awaying of tho stracture. The whole to be left open, 80 48 tc prevent the accumula- tion of snow or oiher obstructions, and to avoid interforence with tho light and ventilation of the street a8 far 23 possible. THE CARS MOVE upon & trass-bridgo above tho lower, and under tho outer arch. The office of those iron archss ia the same as that of the piera of.an ordinary bridge,—to_support s series of longitudinal trasses, which Iatter carry a double track railway above and over the middle of the street. These arched ribs will rest upon suitablo foundations of masonry beneath tho surface of the stroet, ncar the curb-stone on each side, and nced not, unless-for architectural effoct, occupy an area at tho surface greater than 12 inches squarc. In- deed, tho arches {hemselves may be nsed as supporters for stroet-lamps, thus saving tke room now oceupicd by those lamp-posts. Anda system of insulation for telegraph-wires may e established npon the structure, and thua re- lieve the street of tolegraph-poles. The outer and jnner arches are connected firmiy by ten- sion-rods, 8o arranged a8 to rosist the ‘weight of the trusses, and of the carsin passing, and to direct the pressure of their weight into tho line of tho greatest strengh of material eraployed. ACCESS TO TAE CARS is proposed to bo given by })lltform_s constructed of iron and glass, loading from stations provided at suitable 1ntervals, and in which passengers can wait for the arrival of tho cms. Theso waiting-rooms ehonld be on both sides of the streot, one for up and one for down cars, 80 &3 to make it unnecessary for any passenger ever to cross, or even go upon, the track. If the plat- forms aro placed opposite the cross-streats, as it desiraple they should be, the light of baild- ings on tha streets will be unaffected. The ap- proaches to the waiting-rooms will be by stair- cases, placed in tho buildings 1o which the, ‘waiting-rooms are situated. TIHE ADVANTAOES which this plan of constructing a railroad is bs- lioved to possess are many : First—It is by far the most economical that has been suggested, having equal capacity. n Second—Another and most important consider- ation is _the slight obstraction it will be to tho streets during it construction. As all the parts will ba prepared and fitted to each other before they aro brought to their places, tho structure can be very quickly put up, aad, during the pro- cess of eraction, will accupy no more of the street tbah is now used by tbe ersction of new baildings. In soy method of coostructing an underground railroad under a strect suywhere, the interference with business whilo the process of construction 18 going o2 must bo very serious. It is obviously imposainle to take up the whole or alargo part of the surface of any street dur- ing the time required 1o excavate the neces- sary depth for the road, and to chango tho scviers, and tho gas and water maine, and all their connections, and toroof over the street sgain by suy means, 60 23 to leave beneath room for the passage of treins, witheut, during that time, pesrly or quite destroying the usefulness of the street for all ordinary pur- poses. How_much timo sach 8 work would re- qaire, it is difficult to estimate ; but that it would be very considerablo no ope can doubt. Third—Afcer ita completion, it will OT OBSTRUCT THE BURFACE of the street at all, except the small space oc- cupied by the foot of the ribs, aud this space is taken at the part of the street lesst in general use,—at the carb-stone. Fourth—The material used being entirely iron, the wholo structure will bo g0 open s Dot to darken the street or the sdjacent buildings, nor interfere with their veotilation. The view will not be mterfored with, excopt in perspective up and down the street, and will not affect the lateral view of buidiugs on either side. Be- tween the !pxopoeed arches, tho whole structure consists of open iron trusses, suspended over the middle of the strest, ocoupying a width cf abous «| by this plan to be used is now vacant and unoc- [ 28 aot at the base, and s depth of about 12 feet at the centro. Fifth—The elevition of the road, snd its open structure, secure it from obstruclion by snow and ice, or otherwise; while the material of which ‘it will be built, and its location in tho middle of tho streot, avoid all danger of injury by the barning of adjacent bulldings. izth—Tho durability of ita material, and the facility with which repairs can be made, by roa- son of the ready access to every part, and also being entirely unaffected by rain, frost, or snow, secure 3 THE PERFECTION OF THE WOBK, and thus insure the safety and regularity of the cars paseing over it, It is easily seen that such a road as this, snitably constructed, will ap~ proach more neatly to & perfect railrond than aoy road yet built ever bhas, It will havo Do switches on its line of travel to be misplaced, very slight inoquality of urface or of alignment {n 1ta track, any con. soquently tho dangers of existing railroad~ travel, alresdy lees than thoso of any other meaus of communication, and which are mainly due to thoso two canses, will be reduced to & mmimum. Tosome persons, the fact that tho road is at all points considerably elevatad above the ground may suggest & foar of danger in case of accidents by which a car might be run off the track. What 1a stated above shows the small zisk that such an accident can occar; bat, even it it should, the arrangement of tho structure is auch, that fhe effect will beno greater than & train running off & track on the level of tho carth. The iron framowork supporting the track will in such case uphold the cars ; and the sido-trusses will act as & rodl and substantial railing, so thab * IX No cAse can the czrs bo precipitated to the ground. Thess considerations also demonstrate th: creased capacity of uch s road over one of ordinary con- struction. The more mearly perfect the road, the greater the cemmtgwi(h which trainy can bo worked upon it, and the more froquently they may afely bs passed over it. ‘It is dificult to sce why traina may not follow eich other st no groaterintervals than mav bo roquired o check o speod of one, 80 a8 to insure tha safety of immediately precading it. Thess iatervals, withthe light traing proposed to be employ=d, aud their consoquont small momentum, will be 80 short that no more than & single minute of time need be intorposed, on either track, be- tween the prssaz of traios, thus insuring a do- groo of ofiiciency such a8 has not bsen in prac- tice attainod on any road yet built. Secenth—Neither duriog its.construction, nor aftor its completion, does this plan interfore with the gas, water, sewerage, or pavement of the streot, uor with any work nocessary in the repair or enlargement of either. igh o far from being an obstraction to the street, every passenger carried on this road would relieve it as effactually as if carried on some other avenus, and yet no business be di- verted from it, and the vast sums invested {n property on its line romain untonched in value, t shou]d be considered that the space proposed cupied. It furmishes ight aud air o the build- iugs on_either side, and nothing olse. This it would s:ill doalmost as perfactly if this new streat were built iu what 18 now waste space. If con~ structed in_the maaner 8 work of ssuch impor- tanco shonld be, and the whole structnre taste- fully tinished, it is belioved that it would ADD TO THE BEAUTY, 28 well as increase tha usefulaess, of tho street in which it might be constructed. Ninth—The advaniages to passongers of such aroad a8 now propossd, over any that can b built under the surface of the ground, are great and obvious. Want of light, and imparfect ven- tilation, must of necessity be encountered.in any underground railroad’; and, if locomotivhs bo usod as a motive power, 'tho Iattar dificulty will be greatly incroased by the vast quantities of deleterioua gases fienentod by the combus- tion of tho fuel emploved, whatever that may bo, and which to & sorious degres will imcoms mode, and even endanger, passengers. The roal extent of this objection is shown in the report of r.James P. Kirkwood, C. E., on .the London Uuderground Railway, made to the Senate Spo~ cial Commission of the State of New York, Nov. 10, 1868. The length of the lino of the London Underground Railtoad proposed to bo built is report, 53¢ miles were in use, of which one-fourth was open cul. Mr. Kirkwood says: * When the railwav passes behind the fenements or houses, and off the street, the way is kept open a3 much as possible. Whetever it'is practicablo to hava tho line open to the sky, the Resident Engineer remarked to me that it was usually made s0. Tho ventilation is always dificult in loug picces of tunncl, aad, where 80 many trains are running, the smoke or cake-gas inust, under certain statés of the atmosphere or winds, be- come oppressive.” Since the date of Mr. Kirkwood's report, the Underground Railroad of London has been sub~ stantially completed, and the difficulty in ven- tuating the road which Le anticipated has been tound PRACTICALLY INSUPERABLE. A correspoudent of the New Yok Ezpress, in the summer of 1872, s Some plan has yes to bs devised for purifying the air in the tunnel before the latter will be a perfect success. In mild weather the ntmosphere is suffocating, be- ing rendered moro so from tho sulpbur arising from the burning coal. Although the engines consume thoir own smoke, they have, 80 far, failed to overcome the emission of tho sulphuric gases. For those reasons the Undersround Railway is not wéll patronized, and is, financial- ly, a failure.” pon the road elsvated, as now suggested, theso difficul:ies are wholly avoided, and pas- sengors are conveyed in fall light and open air, Tenth—The access to cars upon this road wonld be quito as convenient as {0 those of any other. Whataver road is bailt must bo eithor above or bolow the present surface of the ground. If upon & new avenue, till it must pass over the cross-streets at such a height as not to obatruct their traffic, or, in other words, must be ele- vated as tho road now proposed. If the rosd shoutd be built below the surface, the depth of the excavation must be at least a3 great as tho height required for an eievated road, and the as- cent and descent in eitber case will be the sams. Comparing sn_elovated road to one under- ground, the differenco of sccess will be sub- stantially that of going down cellar, or to the second story in a building. The spproaches to thia road, boing through’ waiting-rooms, shel- tered from storms, and entirely above the car- rigge-way of tho streets, will be greatly more nagreesblo, and also safer, than those to tho ordidary surface-ronds. Tho annoyance to pas- ecugors occasioned by passing over muddy crossings to reach tse card in stormy weather, and the danger from gnnsing vehicles, are se~ . rious evils, which, by the plan proposad, ABE ENTIRELY AVOIDED. And, when reached, the cars will be mcre com- fortable than any surface-road cars can be. Their greater sizo will allow them to be warmed when necessary, and thus provent the dicomfort and exposnro of boalth now borne by all who enter the present street-cars. _ Tais plan has the merit of enabling its cost to bo estimatod in advanco of its coustruction, with very great accuracy. Its etructures are such asare already well known to engineers; aud it does not requiro either, on the one band, the acquisition of large smounts of real eststa for the opening of a new avenus, tho cost of which can hardly be estimated, though kpown to be enormons ; nor, upon the other, the execution of the most difficult and expensive of all engineering wori,—vast underground struc~ tures, tunnels, or their equivalents. In large cities, in which such works mast be construoted, where the mdgpcrfi of oxisting heavy buildings will be very duticuls and hazardous, where, in soma instances, they must be excavated in solid rock, by open cut, snd an_artificial roof built in place of the natural roof afforded in ordinary tunneling, the cost may be guessed at, but hard- 1y estimated with precision. Tue constraction of the London Underground Railway, and ite assumed success, have induced the beltef that a similar road could be construct- ed in this country with equal facility. No tun- Bel, properly o called, can be built, except ata deptg below the surface to secare a roof, sogreat that access to it becomes nearly impracticablo, and light by natural means, and ventilation, im+ possible ; henco the justice of what is said above as to the necessity of constructing such works by open cuts, afterward to Be roofed over. - It is confidently clumed, in behalf of the road hero advocated, that it will b GREATLY MORE ECONOMICAL than any that has yet been suggested, and that it will be at least fully equal in safety and effi- cioncy to any cther ; and this claim will be sus- tained by the estimate, in detail, as to its cost, capacity, aud mode of construction. The plan of road now presented has been little urged upon public attention for various reasoas. Befora tho one now offered had bcen devised, other plans to accomplish su end thea sdmitted to be most desirable, and now ehown to be vital to the growth of cities, had been brought vefore the public; and theiradoption strennously urged by their respeotiva advocates. The public dis- cussion of plaos for rapid tranait in “cities has hitherto been mainly conficed to thosa intended to supply the wanta of the City of New York; and, althongh such plans primarily referred to the condition of things in that city, they are, nevertheless, EQUALLY APPLICABLR 2 to any large city whero tho necesaity for rapid transit exists. They were, principally, tho 4 Central Undergronnd Bailway:” the **Ar- cads " plan; the * Elevated Eoad " on posts, | about 14 miles.
