C B C .- AMUSEMENTS, A Week of Rest and Recupera- tion at the Theatres. Advent of the Union Square Com- pany at Hooley’s. The New Play of *“Ferreol »-- Comparison of Casts. War of the Rival ‘'Henry V.’s" at San Francisco. Musical News and Gossip at Home and Abroad. THE DRANA - IN CHICAGO. A DREATHING-TIME. ‘With Mrs. Oates at Hooley’s Thentre, and the fag-end of the scason reached at the Nbw Chi- cago, there has been nothing in the way of dramatic performances during the past week to attract the public, except those which have becn given at McVicker's Theatre by Messrs. O'Neil and Crane. It isa great pity that these per- formances were not better patronized. All of them, with the possible exception of the ren- dering of “Van, the Virginizn,” were well worth sceing. Bartley Campbell, it must be confessed, writes very poor stuff. His plays don’t wear well. Their sentiment {sof that ephemeral sort which finds an appropriate place in contributions to the poetical departments of the Sunday papers. But Tom Taylor does wear uncommonly well. His “Overland Route,” which was presented Monday, Tuesday, and Wednes- day nights, and Saturday afternoon, is full of amusement, which can be brought out easily by actors of average ability. The play, as we had oceaslon to remark Tuesday morning, is one of incident rather than of genuine dramatic con- struction. The dialoguc is almost. nil, and the plot quite so. The action is fragmentary and detached. It comes in successive bursts, like claps of thunder; the smiles of the audience fol- low, like lightning. There is peace during the intervals, which only serves -to heighten the contrasts. It is not worth while to discuss the dramatic’ merit of & Hlny like this; approval of it, if be- stowed at all, must be based on the solid rock of the azooic system; we must say boldly, “ This specimen Js interesting becausé there is no life in it.”” When we kay this_much, we yield all that the advocates of *‘ The Bix Bonan- z2s” and “The Overland Routes” claim for them,—we confess that the objects are interest- ing. In the philosophy of the modern stage, to be’interesting is to be successful, and to be sue- cessful is to be an artist. How often thislast maxim is flung at_ our heads! It is a hard maxim; it generallyharts the head whea it hits. Yes; the recognized artists of the American stage are actors who have been successful. This is right. Everybody is delighted to have art_successful and artists prosperous. What_the defenders of the truth maintain is, that all successful actors are not artists. We will not bend down the knece and worship your Mugzie Mitchells’ and your Lottas, and your Joe Murphys, and your Barney Williamses, and Your jig-duncers and face-painters on a_thou- sand hills. We want to see what John Ray- mond can do in another part beside Col. Sellers; we want to drag Sothern away from the re- gions of driveling idiocy, and there are a mul- titude of other favorites that we desire to see firmly attached to a higher standard thon that whieh ‘popular caprice as established. The digression, if it does nothing eclse, will serve the l}]:mr;msc: of 8 moral indictment. It will eas2 the ininds of a few people, and, as it wwill hurt nobody, it ought surcly to be regarded asinnocent. This is really the first chance for a long time we have had to take a good breath and look about us. The scason herc has no be- an{ng or ending; thereis scarcely any chance for a scold, on general principles, from one ycor's end to another. Now we make one. We declare thut tha jig business has been overdone, and rejoice to announce that it has small hopes of gaining a foothold in auy respectable theatres next season. Baker and Farron will not drool Out their dreary stupidities next Christmas week In hig city} Lotta is_going to retire, the h:,tgflifizx;; lie m])ll be élgg‘ to know; at Ver=where sible of o Healthy reaction i the direSias o the legitimate. There is rsing in the South o young actress who proinises to bring forward again the works of Dean Milman, Knowlas, and Shiel. The stage has been crying for 2 woman fit to personate this peculiar lige of characters, and thence to step upwards to the highest walks of tragedy. Such awoman, if half that has been told of heris true, is Miss Mary Anderson, of Louisville, whom, without prejudging favorably or otherwise, we hail as the promise of better days, and her first sue- cesses as the evidence of things not seen. Teevenons a nos moutons. O'Nefland Crane have gone. Their week’s cxperience of management here must have taught them, among other things, that public favor is a delicate thing to handle, and not a safe stafl to lean upon. After taking the edge of their welcome off by appear- ing at Hooley’s benefit, it was a rash thing for them to attempt a whole weck of welcome, with a benefit thrown in, on their own aecount. The public liked them none the Iess for their audacity, but it distrusted them. 1t doubted their capacity to give good plays well, with the support that could be picked up in Chicago. In justice to them, it is ‘)raper to say that~ they fulfilled honorably all the prom- ises they made. Th:i' ought to have been treat- ed with'at least equal generosity by the pcople; if they have not becn, the fault is not theirs. They have lost 1o money, and made none, but have simply given their services as a gratuity to the people of Chicago. If there were any un- settled obligations remaining between thescsev- eral parties, the debtor was certainly the public and the unpaid balance was due Messrs. ONelil and Crane, We regret that they were not pald what iwas due them with interest. THE UNION SQUARE COMPANY begins a season of several weeks at Hooley’s Theatre to-morrow night. Thereis cvery rea- son to look for a number of delight{ul perform- ances and a succession of crowded houses such 15 grected the same organization fn the remark- able run of the * Two Orpbans” last summer. The repertory of the company includes * Fer- reol,” Conscience,”” “The Two Orphans," ¢“Led Astray,” and Bret Harte's new play, & Tyo Men of Sandy Bar.” Of these plays the first two and the last are new to Chicago, and it is probable that, should the public demand 2 Ionger run of them than the time allotted, the oider plays will not be scen st all. * Ferrcol” isannounced for a first representation to-mor- row night. In order that the public maybe per- fectly satisfled of the completeness of this com- pany, and its ability to present the play ade- uately, we print herewith in parallel columns the cast of the play in New York and in Chicago: New York, Mch.21 Chicago.

Stoddart in the part utt A[lm‘- tial. This nge is, we presume, not an im- provement, but T iced not ¢ all Mnterfere with 2 perfect rendering of the play. Mr, Stoddart has engagements which keep Lim clsewhere for the prescat. Both he and Miss Claxton will be here during the season, and will assume parts in # Consclence and Bret Harte’s new pl:i'. We have been at pains to state these facts plainly in order to show how perfectly the management have kept faith with the public in announcing the Union Square Theatre Company and bring- ing it here according to announcement. THE PLOT OF * PERREOL’’ ‘has someresemblance to that of ** Rose Michel.” In both cases an innocent witness of a murder hsa strong reasoas for concezling the crime, and 13 for making it known; in both, an fnnocent mac. Is arrested, and stands in imminent danger of execution as the murdérer; and in both the catastrophe is finally averted by a timely reve- lation. Ross Afichel's mouth lsyswppedyby her fear of destroying her daughter's happiness; Feflm{hs&milarlg constrained by his regard for the honorof the woman he loves. The story of the latter play is_exceedingly simple, and may be briefly told. Ferreol de _eyran, an ofti- cer in the French army, had loved Jeoberte, now the wife of Marguise Dumartel, before her mar- riage; and, although she is bound to another by legal forms, he does not sbandon all hope of possessing her. She listens only too readily to is importunity, and appoints him a meeting in her own Lome, at night, in the absence of her husband. After the tgnpolntmcnt is made, she becomes repentant and remorseful; the sudden flIness of ope of her children recalls Ler to ber- self, and” when erreol comes he finds the door barred againsthim. Whilestanding on the balcony witliout her house he witnestes, without having the power to prevent it, the mur- der of one Bouscal, an old usurer, by a dissolute gamekeeper named Martial. Not doubting that the murderer will be npsreneuded. and fearing lest he may be summoned as a witness and the Tonor of Jiobertebe oomgrondsed. Ferreol hastily leaves the country and jolns Lis regiment in ‘Africa. There he’learns, some months "after- wurds, that an innocent man, the brother of Roberde, who was_owing some money to the murdered usurer, has_been arrested and put on trial for his life. Ferreol hastens home, but finds himself confronted by & dreadfu! chofce of evils. He attempts to induce Jfartial to confess the crime, and threatens to expose him if he does not voluntarily deliver himself up. But Mariial knows in how precarious o condition stands the honor of Iioberte, and threat- ens in his turn to tell all he knows. Ferreol fecls that, although Jioberte s innocent, ke would find it difiicult in a Court of Justice to prove her so. On the other hand, he canuot allow the innocent man to be executed. He attempts to save his honor by sacrificing his life, and, with this object in view, gives himself up as the murderer. But ke is subjected to a rigorous examination by the Magistrate, the result of which is to establish his own fnnocence and indirectly implicate Martial. The game- kecper is apprehended. During his examina- tion he is incensed at Ferreot, and is about to reveal the story of Roberte's shame, when he ac- cidentally learns that Ferreol has told nothing. In his confusion he hesitates, and is hurried off toprison. At this point.the situation, which has apparently been eleared for a happy ending of the {lnv, is um'_tdpwmdly and seriously com- plicated. Tt should have been stated earlier that the Magistrate before whom these proceed- ings take place is the husband of Roberle, the woman whose honor is involved. After Jartial has been escorted to jail, Roberte appears in the Magistrate’s room. She is informed that the real murderer has been ap- prehended.

THE TWO HENRYS I¥ SAN FRANCISCO. The rivalry of the two *Henry V.’s” inSan Francisco continued with unabated earnestuess throughont last weck. Barrett at the Cali- fornia Theatre drew the largest night audiences, having the advantage of the fast-train adver- tisement and of the support rendered by Mr. Thorne as Fluellen, and Mr. Bishop as Pistol. The scenery brought on by Messrs. Jarrett & Palmeris highly spoken of by the critics, but Is not so much thought of as the new sets painted under the orders of Mr. McCullough, in San Franciseo. At the conclusion of the run of “Henry V., “Julius Cesar ” is to be put*on the boards of the Californfa Theatre, Mr. Bar- rett enacting Cassius, and Mr. McCullough Brutus. Special pains bave been taken to make these performances as completeand magnificent in point of scenic effect as the celebrated ones at Booth’s Theatre in New York. Mr. George Riznold, who has been enacting “Henry V.” at Wade’s Opera-House, has a de- cided advanta%e over Mr. Barrett in respect of his physical fitness for the part. He has been working hard, giving nine performances a weck, including tio matinces and a Sunday night per- formance. It is a noticeable fact that thetheatre is thronged with ladics at the matinees, and standing-rooni isoften at o premium on these occasions, whilein the evening good seats can easily be obtained. It is a great pityan ar- rangement cannot, in the nature of things, be made by which Mr. Barrett might speak tite part of Henry V. while Mr. Rignold looks it. GREEN-ROOM NOTES. Mr. Jefferson will pass a portion of the sum- mer in Wates. The Lingardshave had a success with “Married in Haste® in Mlelbourne. Horace Lingard’s Gibson Greene was particularly sdmired.

A new Centennial drams, entitled ‘¢ The Minute-Man,” has been dramatized for the Bos- ton Museum by Fred Williams, formerly of Chi- 0. The Boston Globe congratulates the au- thor upon the results of his labors. The London dcademy says: *The abrupt dis- continuance of Signor Selvini’s representations has been a cause of much specalation. A prob- able reason is that the theatre is unsuited allkfi to the actor and the public to which he appeals.

Mme. Jananschek has been engaged by Col. Mapleson for an autumnal provincial tour and to.appear in London during the next scason. Her recent failure at the Haymarket, it is be- leved, was due to peculiar circumnstances for which she was in no way to blame. ‘The Philadelphia Zimes gives the company of the Chestnut Strect Thflme in :J.mpuny 2 severe scoring for Its rendering of Boucicault's “How-She Loves Him.” The, review closts with these stinging words: *“The season at the Chestuut is now rapidly drawing to a close, and &- ,:l“guld be a:l tho%s::lrlllt’l‘snllcs ‘tg uclllow thishouse, ch opened so bril ] ose in a miser- able fiuqc." y, 3 Tony Pastor was at Cincinnati last weel; Hartz, the prestidicitateur, at St. Louis; the Vokes Family and Maflit at Boston; the Bals- bury Troubadours at Buffalo: Rose Eytinge at Milwaukee; the Fifth Avenue Traveling Com- _pany at Columbus and Toledo; Sothiern at hiladelphia; Mrs. J.

AT HOME. : BVENTS OF THE PAST WEEE. ‘With the exception of the Cary concert at the Plymouth Church on Thursday evening, the past week has not been remarkable from a musical point of view. The Oates Comic Troupe has come and gone, but {ts performances are more strictly dramatic than musical. It has given *“Barbe-Bleue,” * La Jolie Parfumeuse,” “La Princesse de Trebizonde,” **Les Bavards,” “Girifle-Girofla,” “La Fille de Mme. Angot,” and Sullivan’s little sketch, *“Trial by Jury,” with substautially the same cast as last year, and without any noticeable chanze in perform- ance. The Cary concert on Thursday. evening wasa most enjoyable one. Thegreat artist herself—for she has nobly earned this adjective —never was in better voice or spirite, and she had the good fortune to be assisted by unusual- 1y excellent home singers and players. Inall Miss Cary’s numerous appearances in this city, ~we do not remember to have heard her sing better, with fuller, richer voice, or with more enthusiasm. Her numbers werevery varied, in- cluding the beautiful aria, “I dreamt I dwelt in Heaven,” from Costa’s Naaman,” which was substituted for Gounod’s * Sing, Smile, Slum- ber;" the noble arla from Gluck’s “Orpheuns” “ Che faro senza), which Miss Cary has made Monday, .| er own: and for encores “ Kathleen Mavour- ncen” and “ Comin’ thro’ the Rye.” She also sang in the duo, *La u darem,” from ‘ Don Giovanni,” with Mr. Bowen, and in the female quartctte, Tuckerman'sqt Their_sun_sball no 1more down,” with Mrs. Seymour, Mrs. Thurston, and Miss Foresman. The Costa num- ber was given with exquisite feeling and with admirable phrasing, but her finest success was made in the elegant Eurydici aria from * Orphe- us,” the classical besuty of which was never more apparent. She gave it not only in a very smooth and fiowing manner, but with great dig- nity, and with a burst of power aud lavishness. of vocal richness in its finale which astonished even her most enthusiastic admirers. The duo with Mr. Bowen showed her fine dramatic_abil- ity, and her part in the female quartette devel- oped the immense strength and depth of her lower voice, as well as its richness. Talken alto- ether. in the artistic qualitics of her two lead- ng numbers and in the sentiment of the ballads witich we have named, it was the most compre- hensive dlsgh_v of this great siuger’s resources that has yet bcen shown fn 2 concert here, and it is all the morc remarkable that it was re- served for o church concert to develop them. As we have said in the beginning of this article, she had excellent assistance. The Oricntal Quartette of malevoices (Barnes, Phillips, Hale, and Tilden) sang two numbers very m‘ytnhly. 3. Flogler played the overture to * William Tell” and a march of Mendelssohn’s, op. 22, and Mr. Creswold the Battiste Offertoire in D, the Jutter being 8 very brilliant and_shiowy render- ing, especially inits pedal work. Mr. Bowen sang his part of the Mozart duo_admirably, and the threo ladies, Mrs, Seymour, Mrs. Thurston, and Miss Foresman, did such excellent work that nin encore Igr tihdr number \:-nns‘ secured. e singing of it was surprisingly good, -con- siderlugi: that it was rf’one m‘{hout accom- paniment.. If any fault could be found wwith it it wwould be that the first soprano lazged & little, which may be owing to Mrs. Thurston’s recent indisposition. As onc of the last, if not the lnst concert of the season, it was a pleasant ending. Miss Cary, after fulfilling a few East- ern concert engagements, returns to St. Peters- burg next mouth. BENEFIT CONCERT. A musieal entertainment will be given on Taesday evening at the Union Park Congrega- tional Church for the bencfit of the Protestant Orphan Asylum. A very interesting programme has been arranged, and mo%f the musical fea- tures will be the playing of Miss Ellen McAllis- ter, whose improvising powers have - been the subject of considerable . discussion and wonderment among musical people lately. She is a pianist of marvelous exccutive skil and of a gchooling thich may well be name unique. In, fact, Miss McAllister has had no schooling in the ordinary senseof the word, and yet she appears to be competent tointerpret and express with singular power compositions of the highest classical order, and her im- provisations — for such they are—have commauded the admiration of some of the best musical teachers of the city. . She will be intro- duced to the audience by Judge Bangs, United States District Attorney, and will g!walmpmv- isations upon themes to be sclected by the audience. The rest of the programme includes readings by Jr. Moseloy and “Mr. Burbank, or- an sclections by Band, scveral solos by 3rs. ficrshcy and other interesting features. The object of the concert should be enough to call forth a large xudlfnce ABROAD. THE BAIREUTH FESTIVAL. The Wagner Festival performance at Bai- reuth will take place, according to .the adver- tised programme, in August, the first series of representations beginning on the 18th, the sec- ond on the 20th, and the third on the 27th. All the places have been sold for the first series and nearly all for the second and third; and, as the price of a ticket Is 100 thalers (373) for each series of four evenings, it may be inferred that the world takes a deep interest in the enter- prise. A correspondent writing from Bairenth says: Now that the Baireath Festival is approachin some information about theaccommodations whic! visitors may expect to find thete may be of intcrest. All the seais for the first representation are taken, and very few for tle second and_third representa- tions ore to be had. The Town of Baireuth possess- es four hotels, Zum Reichsadler, Zur Sonue, Zum Anker, Zom Schwarger Ross. The two former are the best. Perzons who would prefer.to live in rivate honses should address Police Officer Ulrich. Several new restanrants will be opened, two of them being close to the Niebelung Theatre. Bai- reuth is a_delightful, old-fashioned place, with many fine villas, and the surroundingaare as charm- | ing as can be found anywhere in Germany. The i two parks, cach distant abont half an hour's walk from the town, are little paradiscs in themselves. The Bairenth enterprisc is now fully assured. Wugner has written to the musicians, and all his agsistants in fact, that he is able to guarantee their salaries, 'The musicians will receive their railroad farc and & monthly sulary of 80 thalers. The most prominent singera give thelr services. gratis; the others demand very gmall remnncration indeed.

THE FIRST PERFORMANCE OP ROBERT THB DEVIL.” The London Athenaum says: Of the professors and smateurs who listened Iast Saturday night to the music of °* Robertle Diable,” at her Majesty's opern, in_its Italian adaptation, fow were present at the first repre- seniation of the work, at the Academic Royale de Mosique, on the 22d of November, 1831. No one, howerer, who can call 3o mind that memora- Dle night will forzct the Imteste impression pro- daced on the andfence. It was an eveninz of emotions. First, thers was an accident, which might have cost Mlle. Dorus, the Alics, her life; another one placed in peril the existence of Mile. Taglionl, the Abbess; and then. in the last act, Nourrit, who was the Robert, fcll into the trap, down which Levnaseur, the Bertrans, had descend- ed to the lower regions. Fortunately, no one was hort; but the escapes were miraculons. Madame Cinta-Damorean was the Princess [sadel. Of this great cast. Mile.

Verdi's * Aida” will be produced at the Roy- al Italian Opera, Covent Garden, on the 27th inst., with Adelina Patti in the chief role. Signor Braga, the violoncellist, who played here during the ast Df Murska season, was very ‘warmly received at a recent Loudon concert. Herr Barth, of Berlin, failed at the last con- cert of the London Philharmonic Soclety. He selected Henselt's great piano concerto, and it proved too much for him. “ Polyencte will not be produced before the opening of the French Exhibition in 1878.

Bassford’s overture to “ Cassilda® met with great favors at Gilmore’s Garden last week, when it was supcrbly played by the orchestra of 100, under the direction of Maretzek. Negotiations have been opened for a series of Strauss concerts in Paris during the Exhibition of 1378, to be given fn a concert room which is to be built, capable of accommodating 8,000 persons. Miss Minnfe Hanck, the American prima don- na, who has become so popular in Germany, sailed from New York a few days ago for Eu- rope. She is engaged at the Berlin Opera for the coming season.

The King of Holland has fonnded a Malibran prize, in the formn of a medallion, with the efligy of the famed prima donna, which will be com- ted for by the puplls of the Muslcal and ramatic_Institute, which the Dutch monarch lias established. Albert Weber, of piano_fame, has brou suit for libel against Mr. Freund of the Trade Review, claiming $10,000 damages for the statement that Mme. Pauline Lucca’s Ietter, which Mr. Weber uses in his advertiscments, was a forgery. 3 Lucy Hooper writes from Paris:_ ‘ The last representations of * Alda’ at Les Italiens are announced, and it is whispered that the enter- prise of M. Escudier, financially spesking, has ymvcd a failure. The representations of the Requiem ? are to be agivcn next weck, and then the season will be definitely closed.” Sigmor, Campanini, according to a Milanese letter toan English contemporary, has engaged himself from Junc 5 to 20 to sing Verdi's ¢ Requiem *” at the Teatro Comunale of Parma, and he will not o to England at all this season. He has also enguged himself for the autumn and winter at the Teatro Comunale of Trieste, ana r the carnival and quaresima at the Teatro Regio_of Tarin, and will, thercfore, certainly not take part in Mr. Mapleson’s provincial or projected American tours. - Aimee n%pw-cd in New York last Monday in “La Vie Parisienne,” with Offenbach at the baton.

Afmee sings just now better than she ever sang, and her act~ 1g is us subtle, as illustrative; and as responsive to the demands of librettist and musician as elthedr‘, ;:! these exacting personages could de- man MINIMS. THE OTUER SIDE. We printed a few days ago a statement from the London Atheneum which gave another color to the debut of Miss Blanche Tacker in comparison with the first someswhat rosy notices that appeared. Since that time evidence accu- mulates which goes to show that it is best not to take too much stockin first notices from admiring friends, and that the glorious account of American debuts in Europe will admit of con- siderable discount. The London Figaro makes the statement that Manager Gye has stricken the name of Mlle. Rosavella (Miss Blanche Tucker) from the bills of Covent Garden, her _success in her two appearances in opera at that house in April not having been such as to war- rant o repetition of the cxperiment. It is also noticed that no advertisement is made of futurc appearances of Miss Emma Abbott, and it is possible that the same fate has befallen her. Of Miss Von Ellsner, the young lady of Bloom- ington, whose debnt in opera Bas recently been mentioned, & London critic remarks that her volce is thin and strained in the upper notes, thongh exhibiting careful training and consid- erable facility of execution. Her debut eannot be ranked as'a success. PERSONAL. ‘Watson's Art Journal pays the following hand- some compliment to Mrs. Fannie Goodwin Lunt, formerly of this city, who recently sppeared in concert in New York: Mme. Fannie Goodwin, the talented Kflma donna, susteined hereelf most notly, aund she should be ‘better known to concert Aabilues. Her first selec- tion was the great aria, *‘Modi, ah 3lodi,” from Lucrezia Borgia, and her rendering was s fine display of dmmatic v cal power; its strong passions and emotions were aplen- didly depicted in her fine phrasing, and its ~ intricate vocal difficuities proved a mere bagatelie in her brilliant exccntion. Her voice ia rich in tone, pure in quality, sympathetic. end of exten.ive ranze, the messo voce being ex- tremely beautifal, while her fours de force are re- markable. She took the D abuve the staff with erfect ease, and held it foraninterval that scemed ncredible. In Handel's aris, *‘‘Angelseverbright and fair,”* her beautiful voice was also heard to good advantage, and her singing was marked with frue Intonation, sweet and plaintive relizious fer- vor. _Mme. Goodwin is one of the best singers of the New York concert-room, and is & thorough artiste. It isalmost unnecessary to add that she was encorsd upon each occasion, and good- naturedly responded. i A SOCIETY ITEM. Dedicated to Madame Grundy. DEBUTANTES. Lovely girls!

A ILesson to Snobs, and a Text for the Cynies. The 0ld South and the Indig- nation Meeting. Spectal Correspondence of Tha Tridune. Bosroy, Mass., June 15.—Dom Pedro, who s with us now, serves to point a moral which will adorn many a tale of the critic and the cynic who *scream at the fixed facts of the universe.” What's In a name, indeed? And Miss Penelope, on Beacon Hill, who i3 descended from the stanchest old Puritacs, and brags of it, is all ina flutter over these Brazil folk, and thinks that Aleantara with a handle to it is *so love- 1y.” Dom Pedro shirks all the attention he can, and has 2 busy time of it at that, for the Puritans are as big snobs, perbaps alittle bigger, than anybody clse. At Longfellow’s the Emperor was at his best, says the little bird who always hovers over pri- vate dinner-parties on purpose to tattle. He admires Longfellow exceedingly, and has given various proofs of this admiration before this visit. -And in this meeting the Dom must have received one of the happiest impressions of American simplicity and refinement that will probably meet him in the length and breadth of Dis travelsin the States. So Miss FPenelope, who represents the rest of the world, the nsual title-loving Miss Americaof whom Lucy Ham- flton Hooper discourses so eloquently, may gin® Lerself up in her fineries and make a goose of herself generally when a forcignerappears,—we shall not be utterly without hope, so long as SUCH HOMES AS LONGVELLOW’S can, without any brag or bustle, entertain Em- perors and all other guests like real Republic- ans. Dom Pedro is much liked. He i#are- fined and intellectual man, much happier fn the library and study than in publiclife. Some: thing'of this tendency towards the study, and discontent with the different carcers to which Fate had assigned him, breaks out In Agassiz’s amusingly pathetic opinion that Dom Pedro was a most unfortunate man, because, being an. Emperor, he could not be a scientist. And the great intcrest which this Emperor shows at every turnineverythinzthathe can glean about his " dead fricnd Agnssiz reveals the symeaux,v that existed between ces the dead man’s_opinion take on a hue of greater probability. In all things, great or small, Dom™ Pedro seemes. to evince a ‘natural Republicanism of his own, which is very pleasant to see. One of the many little things orth recording is his sending for the blind ianist Heine and his wife to come and sce him, 5 {riendly fashion, in memory of the pleasure he had received #om him and the high estimate in which he had held him when the musician had visited Brazil a few yearsago. His great inter- est in our Institutions is constantly shown, and nowhere more pleasantly so than AT THE GIRL'S HIGT SCHOOL deeper them, and mal in Mistening to the singing of Eichberg’s hymn, % To Thee, O Country.” He declared that he had never heard anything more delightfal, and dropped in a_pretty compliment to the good Tooky of the Boston girls, which in days to come will be quoted with great pride by other Boston girls who may come after these as ‘ what an Emperor said of our grandmothers.” Terhaps, though, by that time we sham’t care so much for Emperors. Perhaps even the Miss Penelope of that day won't long o ardently to have the shadow of 2 crown cast over her iife as she does now. ¥ POOR MISS PENELOPE; {t may be that we blame her too much. W& talk sbout Paritans; bat, after all, they werc 8 stuck-up set, and drew the line between rufiled shirts, velvet coats, and homespun with Y distinctness. And apropos I want to tell a little story of Miss Penelope which one of these smalt birds given to tittle-tattle told me. There was o party somewhere,—no atter where,—which included Miss Penelope and—Dom Pedro, Al- cantarn, and all the rest of the Royal people. Miss Penelope was in her holiday attire,—that is, if one may distinguish _the various glorics of so flne a young woman’s toilet by such a bour- gevie work. _ In her holiday sttire and In holiday temper, and of course a very charming object to Jook upon. She is presentcd to Dom Pedro and all the Aleantaras and suite, and finally concen~ trates herself, holiday temper and all, upon a good-looking ;;mmg ‘man whose name she did not quite catch, BUT WHOSE BEARING HAD THE ROTAL BTAMP, and whose title and rank were apparent. atsight to this Puritan-descended Republican. e young man appeared charmed with Miss Penel- ope. He devoted himself, his royal sir, his courtly bearing, and a pair of fine €yes thrown in, to the entertainment of the fair Bostonian; and they got on swimmingly. Art, ethics, an esthetics, everything that a Boston girl is sup- posed to know, this young gentleman knew; and more, too. 0! course fhey had to talk Dars win, and from Darwin and the monkeys they skipped into all the sciences, and brought up with dgussiz. Sobright of }m l:enelhopn to think of rounding of ith who was such s favorite at_the Bmfim Court. And this rounding off was just as everybody was breaking up to say %ood-bv. And it was just as falr Penelops was turning from her fine cavalicr that she said to him in” dulcet tones, “ And you must have Lknown Mr. Agassiz very well in Brazil{” *Oh, no, for the very good reason that I was never in Brazil.” “Not at that time,—Oh I understand. You were edncated in Europe, of course; I noticed how awell you spoke English.” - “No, indeed; I was educated {n Boston,” and the fine eyes sparkled. They have'been playlug at crose-purposes all the e; or perhaps not all the time. Perhaps OUlf YOSTON BOY GOT A HINT of the beacings of Miss Penclope’s mind a Jittls while befcse this denouement; but he wasn’t bound to tnterfure so long as the exigencies of the case didn’t demand it.
