The holiday performances st the theatres were well patronized. Fourth of July is not generally a good day for the mansgers, but this Fear there was an exceptionto therule. Whether the result was due to the comfortable weather, or to an outburst of Centennial enthusiasm, no- ‘body seems to know; and thesubject is not, perhaps, worth discussing. Hooley’s Theatre, where the Union Square Company presented ¢ The Two Orphans,” must be accorded the eredit, if any there be, of having drawn the largest crowds. A statement of the receipts for the performances at this theatre herewith given will cause less pi Us managers to enter- tain some cnfionsrf:.%s. but these, we ho 'will be succeeded by rejoicing at so substanti =n evidence of vitality in the dramatic world. The receipts were as follows: B Total.......... % ..$2,473.00 The matinee prices were lower than the even- Ing rates, which partially accounts for the dif- ference in receipts. The ball-match, which at- Aracted 10,000 to 15,000 people to Twenty-third atreet, drew sway a good many who would stherwise have gone to the thestres in the after- .won. Wood’s “Museum and the Adelphi were romfortably filled afternoon and evening, and Aimee had ' good night-audience at McVicker’s Fheatre. Arter the Fourth, the audiences sverywhere were light, on account of the weather. “ CONSCIENCE.” The dramatic event of the present weck in -Chicago will be the production of a new play ¥ith the above title by the Union Square Com- any. The authorsof the play are A. E. Lan- saster and Jolisn Magnus, New York journal- Ists. We find in Appletons’ Journal the follow- “ne condensed and complete epitome of theplot: The scene of the story is laid in New Jersey, :pear New York, atthe home of Nathaniel Lare- wood, Wall stret stock-broker. The first act -opens with the gathering of the dramalis persoue -m tte gardens of the house in festive commemora- dion of the eighteenth birthday of the broker's dacghter.

THE OUTER WORLD. A LONDON SUCCESS. “ Les Danicheff,” a play written by a Russian otleman who has assumed the name of * Pjerre Newski,” has been brought oat at the §t. James Theatre, London, with marked suce ess. Tbe scverest critics praise it, and in these days, when a London saccess is next door to the impassible, such an eventis worthy of more than passing notice. It is understood that the aathor had valuable assistance in the revision of his play from Alexsudre Dumas. He also had the advantage to start with of having his work interpreted by the artists of the Paris Odeon, who first produced it and creited the several characters. The plot is given in con- densed form by a contempaorary, thus: Vledimir Danickef, a young Russisn officer and -3on of & widowed Countcss, has fallen in love with *Anng, 8 eerf resident in his mother's house, where e is held in high favor. \When the play opens he been ordered to join his regiment in Moscow for a years service, and before taking his departure confides the eacret of his loveio the ud Counfess.

This brief announcement covers the news of last week and this week, g0 faras entertainments are concerned, and reduces the chronicle of the two weeks to the following brief notes: - LOCAL NOTES.

Mr. Liebling has been under the best ible instroction, including Kullsk and is: “god report speaks goldenly of his protit.” Hisrecent advantages, added to his al- ready ized talents and the excellent recep- tion which he has received in Berlin as a pianist, presuppose the attainment of conspicuous artistic excellence.

Al that was said Iast year abont the Elat of Mme. Christine Nil:son might be repeated now, with even additional words of praize.

Sach on £sa and such an Ortrud would have been enough of themselves, with fair adcquate surronnding, to insare success for ** Lohengrin. ™ THE OPERA IN LONDON. ‘The operatic rivalry in London has been in- tense. notwithstanding the warm westher of this month. At Drury Lane during the week enamg on the 10th inst. there were repetitions of the *Huguenots,” *“Faust,” the * Bar- blere,” and 2 remarkable performance of “Don Giovauni,” with M. Faure gs the Don, Titiens as Donna Aima, Nilsson s Donna Elvira, Mme. Trebelli as Zerlina, Signor Stagno s Don Ottavio, and Herr Rokitansky as Lepordlo. The Times of the 12th is unreserved in its praise of the performance, rewarding the ladies of the cast with an indorsement of unusual enthnsiasm. At the Royal Italian du.ring the same week, were given * Lohengrin,” L¥Afrinine,” “Dino- Tab,” “ Tannhauser,” “ L'Elisir d'Amore,” and “L'Etoile du Nord.” Adclina Patti was the feature, well supported by Mlles. Zare Thal- berg and Bianchi, and Signori Bettinl and Ciampi. The great success of the season (also provocative of unstinted praise from the Zimes) wes the last-named opera of the repertory. Capoul was announced 1o make his first appear- suce in ““Fra Diavolo™ on the 15th inst., and *Aida ” was in preparation for production on the 224, with Mme. Pattias the heroine, sup- ported by Mlle. Ernests Gindele and Signori Graziane and Nicolini MUSICAL SOTES, Faure's Don Gioranni has set London in ecstasfes. It is stated by Figaro that the ramor of Mle. Albani's marriage to Mr. Ernest Gye is pre- matare.” A bold German composer, one Herr Eckert, has had the audacity to attempt a continuation of Weber's “Der Freischutz,” entitling ‘his work, *A New Freischutz." AL Jauner, Director of the Imperial Opera~ ‘house, Vienna, has secured the right of (orm- ing first two new works by French composers— ©La Roido Labore,” by AL Massenet, and “Dalila,” by M. Saint-Saens. Carl Rosa is accused by Figaro of intentional misrepresentation, and great ado is being made about the fact that the new and original opera which the English opers mansger lias boasted " that he ordered from the cgmposer, Mr. Cowen, turns out to be nothing mjore or less than a re- vamped version of Mr> n's Italian opers, “The Lady of Lyons,” which ke has been vain- ly trying for years to have played in that form. M. Herve, the opera bouffe composer, has leased the Theatre des Arts, Paris, 1t will be opened under its new mauagement on Sept. 1 with a new operctta, “Estelle_ct Mounin, written by 3L de Jallais, music by Herve. At the Opera National Lyrique, Paris, Weber's “Oberon’ was revived fiq the Sth ult. 4 curious addition was made to the work in an in- cidental ballet introduced into the third act, the music of which consisted of the composer's overture to “Turandot * and his * Invitation to the Waltz,” gs instrumented by Berlioz. Capoul will probably not sing at Covent Gar- den this season. He reached London o day late, and suffering from o sore throat, got intoa violent altercation with Mr. Gye, and so agegra- vated his complaint that he won’t be able to use his voice for some weeks to come. Therels likely to be a big lawsuit over the business. A revival of *‘La Belle Helene ” is to be the attretion next scason at the Paris Varicties,with Mme. Judia gs the heroine, Mile. Schneider kay- ing positively refused to listen to any overtures {rom the directors. The old and favorite opera- bouffeis to be entirely rewritten and 3 new third act will be composed by ,0ffenbach ex- pressly for this revival. In the last number of the Leipzic Husikalisches Trochenblatt is given o complete list of the voeal aund instrumental performers who will take part in the appmmm§ rformanzes at Bayreuth. The cast of prind pa?se corresponds for the most part with that alrcady given inour columns, the most important differences bnwifl; that Frl. Schefzy from Munich is annouuced to_sing the part of Sieglinde, instead of Frau Vogl, and Herr Kogl from Hamburg reptaces Herr Scaria as Hagen. The list of the urchestra, which is led by Herr Wilhelmj, comprijses many well- known names. =l The Parisian press is very severe on the last work by Verdi,—an unpublished quartet for stringed instruments, which was given in pri- vate performance at the Ventadour for the judgment of the critics. The latter decide that the work does not reach a high standard of ex- cellence. Composed of four parts, an allegro, in which the practice termed *Huitation” i3 met with at each step without any originality whatever; an audante, with some resemblance to ballet musie, with dramatic effects, borrowed from the scenicstyle; a scherzo, the subject of which reminds the auditor both of the * Tro- vatore” and the “ Africaine;” and, fieally, a presto fuged staccato after the manner of the pieces by Scallatti. This quartet may be de- seril as the work of a clever musician, but not that of an sccomplished master. Luey Hooper writes from Paris to the New York Worla: ‘ Next season we are to have, ut the Grand Opern, it is said, “Francesco da Ri- mini” of Ambroise Thomas, and the ‘*Poly- eucte® of Gounod, the latter only, however, if the management can find a prima donna capable of fultilling the composer's requirement for his Pauline. Marfe Sass {s to make her rentree fn “L’Africaine” carly in the fall. It is whispered that neither Faure nor Mlle. Krauss mean to re- turn, the latter on account of the recent scan- dalons divorce cast in London (thst of the Duchess di San Theodoro from her husband), wherewith her name was connected in most an unpleasant fashion. Mile. Belval has left al- ready. . Manoury is going, and M. Gailhard has had tcm§uug offers from St. Petersburg, so that M.

A Hot Fourth of July in the Metropolis. How Three Wives Enjoyed It With- out Their Husbands. Threatened Riot from a Small Cause. A Sad Triangular Scandal on Brooklyn Heights., An Obstinate Wife vs. a Spend- thrift Husband. Special Correspondence of Tha Tribune. NEW YOREK, July 6.—Well, weare all glad it isover! Patriotism is a good thing, and a Cen- tennial Fourth of July is not such a frequent occurrence that anybody ought to complain, but acelebration that lasted so continuously for forty-eight hours was a tax on human “ener- £¥, especially when the thermometer ranged from 90 to 93 in the shade, and anywhere below 150 in the sun. The city was filled with stran- gers, and on that never-to-be-forgotien Monday night think of an hundred thousand tired mor- tals of all ages, sexes, and conditions hastening to their homes after the small hours of morn- ing! At3a. m. there were 10,000 persons twait- ing at the Brooklyn ferry-houses for transporta- tion over the river. The rush on the horse- cars did' not cease untfl daylight, and the steam lines which ran trains to the suburbs af- ter midnight were crowded beyond belief. Our Tnion Square, where the chief celebration took place, was packed by 2 mass of people estimated from 100, 000 to 200,000 persons; probably there were at least the lowest number. ~ No mere words can convey an adequate description of the effect of 40 acres of human beings thus crowded to- f:lher. But, oh! the memory of the next morn- g! 1t is elmply overpowering—the fatigue, the dust fanned by 8 hot wind from the west, the in- creasing heat, and the noise of guns! Then there wwere regular half-hourly fre-alarme; Tortunately there were §o scrious firesr and the rushing of steam fire-engines and patrol-wagons—altogether. it was a memorable day. But everybody is glad it s all over, and when the next Centennial occura may we all be there to see it AMUSING PHASES OF THE BUNTING TRADE. . The dealers fn flags and bunting enjoyed & rich harvest. The wholesale dealers were clean- ed out early in the previous week, and found it dtfficult to replenish their stocks. A character- istic scene took place at Claflin’s on Saturday. An up-town dealer had ‘bought alot of cheap flags, and had them piled together while he went to another part of the store. While absent, another dealer come along and carried off one of the pieces to a salesman and had the goods ticketed to him- self. The frst parchaser discovered the trick be- fore thesocond had timeto get away with the picce, and then ensced a regular fsticuft fight for possession. The salesmen inter- fered, end the first parchaser of course secared the goods. There were hundreds of orders eent from the cos to the larger houses in the trade which were never filled, simply becanse it was impoasible Lo obtain the materials. Prices ad* vanced by reguler steps until flazs which on the 1st of June could have bcan%n:h&wl for 35 on_the 1st July so0ld for $15. Pjece bunting tripled in rice, and the commonest sort of calico flags were n demand at 100 per cent advance. Some of the ary-} dealers sold out all their stock, and finaliy decorated their own stores with folds of red, white. and blue fdannels. A GAY AND FESTIVE TRIO. Among all those who enjoyed the 3d and 4th there werc nonc who entered fnto the gayeties of those days with more heartiness than three ladies from the suburbs who came to the city and established themselves at a leading hotel. They are the wives of well-known citizens, but. it so happened their husbands were all absent that day,—two with the military in Philadelphia, and the third ona summer's tip in the West. ‘They Jeft their children at home, and when they arrived in the city the first question was how wonld they mansge to go the rounds without a gentleman escort. One of the three having had the European rience of couriers was equal to the eme: 5 Boly viting one. of The wain i o the American District Telegraph Company, sho stated case exactly, and requested that a thoroughly faithful, " competent, and reliable messenger of presentable appear- ance and pleasant manners be detailed to escort the three ledies to” the various places of in- terest in the city during the two days. The appli- cation was a novel one, but. after a brief delay, the required party was found and placedat the disgiosal of the femule trio. He tarned out a first-class es- cort, ard under his guidance and protection our fe- msle friends visited every portion of the city. Saw the midnight display et Union Squoare; the fire- ‘works the next nignt, and attended 2 matinee be- tween. These were 85 free as air, and whenever and wherever they wished togo the faithfc] mes- senger was on band. In Earupe this would have beenan ordinary occurence, butin America the ides of ladies enjoying themselves in this way is rather new. ALMOST A RIO? IN FRONT OF DALY'S. A rather amusing occurrence, which threat- ened serious results, took place on the evening of the Fourth in front of Daly’s Theatre. While the performances were in progress in the evening, some unruly boys persisted in putting off quantities of fire-crackers, whale packs at a time, in the street close by. It disturbed the sudience S0 much that one of the attaches of the theatre remonstrated with the boys, but with no effect. e then took the emall hoze used for water- ing the street and began playing on the pavement where the crackere were exploding. From this to gmying water on the crowd was but & brief motion, ut the effect was critical. The crowd closed in upon the man and wrenched the pipe from his hands, and would have maltrested him severely bat for the opportanc arrival of 8 policeman. ~ The Iatter drove off thosc neareat at hand, but by this time 2,000 people had gathered, una by their noisy demonstrations formed quite 8 mob. Somebody snggested a charge on the thestre, but it was not seconded. In the meantime information had been sent to the nearest palice station, and a detoll of twenty men started for the theatre on the double- quick. This oction served to ent the crowd 8 every step, so by the time they reached the gcene of the difficulty, Twenty-ninth street and Broadway, for a block cither way, was packed by a dense mass of people, one-half of whom Wwere it~ tering angry imprecations tyward the theatze. The police made short work of clearing the strects, and im a few minutes atter their arrival all danger wes averted. TOW A BELLE LOST HER WIG OVERBOARD. Mr. Trowbridge’s comical story in poetic serse, in the July number of Harper's Magazine, of o fashionable belle who lost ber wig and false teeth overboard, which were recovered in time to allow ber wedding to one of her suitors, had a counterpart in half of the story last week in the experience of a party who attended the yacht race on 8 steamboat. Thesuffercrisa well-known society belle, who has more than once graced the upper-deck of Col. Delzncy Kane's Pelham coach, and i8 cnderstood to be engaged to a Wall-street broker. She 13 only 19, and has been noted for her wealth of blonde hair. Dressingin half-mourn- ing on account of the death of a refative, the com-. bination of black with bionde has given her a dis- tingue sppearance, well known to the swells of !.\lfl:nlvnnm‘_ a—ul week on Ilhe occesion of a t race she was one of a privat Znboard 8 small propeller l:hancmdp(or the 5’:;8 sion, and, as the wind wa2 gusty, and the sea ‘made sad work with the stomachs of ‘the party ont- side of Sandy Hook, there was an utter abandon- ment of all pretense of personal appearance. Our belle suffered with the rest, when she songht reliet by removing ber hat. A sodden puft of wind the nest moment caoght her bair and stripped her head of i1s covering. In other words, her mass of blonde head-rigging was blown overboard, and the poor girl was in a rage of despair. Her lady friends rushed her into the cabin and tried to console her; but half of them were delighted with her mishap, and the other balf said to themselves that it served Lerright. However, ther managed to arrange her remaining hair so that it looked passably well, and she returned to the city, if not crestfallen, at Jeast bereft of her wealth of hair, and her reputation as a blonde beauty forever destroyed. | A NEW BROOELYN-HEIGHTS SCANDAL. Fashionable circles on Brooklyn Heights are agitated at the present time by a discovery that has thrown three families into deep sorrow. The story has been published in one of the Sun- day papers, and, although no names have beea given, they are well known to many persons, and probably will be made public within a few days. Allof the families Interested are attendants of prominent charckesin South Brooklyn. Inoneof them there is & s0n not yet 20, who has had all the advantages of a liberal education and travel that indulgent parents could bestow. Gifted with nn- usnsl graces of demeanorand deportment, e has been a favorite with young ladies everywhere, and with twoof them has been especially intimste, cscorting them to Prospect Park and upon varions £hort pleasure trips rear the city. Laatweekit was discovered that one of these young ladies,was abont to become & mother. Her parerts became was hastened by the refuesl of the girltore- yeal the name of her seducer. =~ The family ~pastor was eent for, and, after = scenc of mingled cxcitement and tenderness, the girl confeased that her betrayer was the young man sust mentioned, with whom she had been intimate for over year.' This information leaked oatto the family of the other youug lady with whom the scapegruce had been intimate, and after a stormy interview she also confessed that her ruin hed been nccomplished abont the time her friend had falien from the path of virtae. The utmost comsterna- tion ensued, and the heads of the three families have been in consaltation with two of the pastors of their respective churches. The young man who is the canse of this trouble has gone to the Adiron- dacks temporarily, and the question of marriage i3 now being discusied; but how can he marry both of hiz victims? Itisavery sad case, and in two congregutions Is exciting a depth of agitation with- out parallel in any similar experience within memory. SEVEN YLARS3 OF SUCCESSFUL IMPOSTURE. A divoree procceding in Brooklyn has recently ‘brought to light another successful imposture whicn would be incredible if our courtswere not constantly called upon to adjudicate similar cases: This suit is that of Ifannah Gotham against Elnathan Gotham. They were married in April, 1864, and in six weeks after the hus- band deserted her. After several months the woman discovered that her husband was in Lowell, Mass., living with another woman, whom he pasged off a2 his wife. So she charges him with illicit Interconrse with the pretenaed wife fora whole year. She furthermore charges that hehas been living since 1869 with s new companionin gin, one Lydia Ann Hucking, whom he has rep- resented as hie wife. The case was sent toa ref- eree to take testimony, when the principal witness was the defendant's pmother. who testified that Gotham had_repeatedly mtroduced Lydia Aan Huckins os his wife, and bad lived with her assoch, 2nd she had borne him children. Theevidence was duly reported to Judge Fratt,,and on the 2uth ult. £ decree of absolute divorce with alimsny was granted.

Marshall Lefferts on the 34 was = severe blow to.the veterans of the Seventh Regiment who were en route to Philadelphia. The funcral took place to-day, und it scems quite odd that the family should object to military honors being paid to the re- mains of one who, in his lifetime, was almost wrapped up in the military idea. It was his de- light and pleasure, but it is probable his services in the cansc of promoting military discipline and eficiency were s0 excessive as to have weaned his family from ever liking the military overwell Doubtless his services in this direction drew him from the retircment of his family more than was eatisfactory. Col. Lefferts did more probably than any one of the Seventh's commanders to bring the regiment up to the high standsrd of drill and pro- ficiency in marching in which they excel. His ef- forts were painstaking and faithfal, he was patient and persevering, and in the course of his conpec- tion with the regiment is said to have expended upwards of $25,000 of his owa fortune in promot- ing its comfort and condition. Luckily he conld aford it. . No man ever iabored with more earnest- nesson behalf of & regiment than he, and heis sincerely mourned. THE CAREER OF THE DIVORCE-LAWYER. The tragic death of Orson A. House by the hand of his wife in a New Jersey village is the fitting end of a man who experienced in his own life some of the vicissitudes and infelicitics which he had fostered in others as the ground- work of his fortunes. He was known 23 a di- vorce-lawyer,—one of those creatures who promise to procure divorces without or with cause, and insure exemption from publicity, and cven undertake such cases on the **no cure (no divorce) no pay ™ principle, if indeed such a man can be £aid to act from any principle £t all. A book might be written exposing the degraastion of the courts ms:andng divorces throngh the instramen- tality of thia men for absolutely o cause, but in- flicting the most infamous odium upon thoroughly innocent parties. The papers are filled with stories of divorces procured by House npon perjnred testi- mony, under circumstances of the basest sort. One incident, which occurred six yearsago, will serve to show what manner of man House was in his life- time, 1t created great scandal at the time, but the Bar Association of New York, of which House was 8 member. never took any motice of it, nor even proposed any steps to prevent a repetition of the offense. In’ 1863 Alexander R. 1. Nichols. of Brooklyn, a wealthy men, was married to Char- lotte B. Beers, of Newtown, Conn. He supporied ber in magnificent strle, lavished money npon her freely, and gratified every wisth. In 136S sheeloped with'a Col. Gebhard, of Gov. Fenton's stafl, to Enrope, and lived with him in open concabinsge, They secretly returned, and the woman, ugh House, actaally procared a divorce from Nichols in 1870 on the ground of infdelity. Nichols, to save his hitkerto unsullied name from odinm, ex- posed the perjury and conspiracy on which the di- vorce rested, and the decrec wassetamide. He then sued for divorce, showed up the trae charac- ter of his unfsithful wife, and obtaired a decrve. In bis expose House apy 2 theflend incarnate who advised and carried out the wholesale perjury mecessary to seccre the drst divorce, and vet, strange to s3y, was permitted to go unpunished. HOW A WIFE SPOILED A REAL-ESTATE SALE. _Last week there was a strange scenme in o Notary’s office on Nassau street in this city. A husband and wife were present to sign and swear off their title to a valuable Madison ave- nue lot which had originally cost them nearly $100,000. It was the last of a large fortune. The husband had negotiated the sale. The parties were all present to exchange papers. The buyers had a certified check for £10,000, which was the agreed cash payment on the property, ready, and the Notary had already taken the hus- band’s acknowledgment, when, to his dismay and the sarprise of all present, the wife refused to the deed. Her husband took her aside and !%’; with ber in vain. She asked the Notary if her dower could be seized for her husband’s debts, ond when the reply was in the negstive she began to move toward the door. Her Lusband barred ber progress,and ina loud tone up- braided her for her refusal. But the woman was £rm a3 a rock, and decleimed against the right of Eer hosband o reducc her to_beggary by disposing of the last foot of ground they had on earth and squandering the momey. The scene attracted groups from other afices, and lasted several min- utes. The husband offered to pay all the proceeds into his wife's hands, buz she was obstinate, and answered, **Yes, and then beg the money from me piecemeal.” They left the ofiice together, and the properiy is not yet trunsferred. A CHICAGO MANAGER IN QUOD. _On Wednesday evening, a week ago, Mr. W. H. Leake, former manager of the i Academy of Music, was arrested 2t the Union Place Hotel by 2 Sheriff, and conveyed to Lud- low Street Jzil. It seems that last fall Mr. Leake engaged a company to go to Chicago, but after the contracts were signed he began to feel dubfous as to his success. He called the com- pany together, and plsinly stated his feara, advis- ing them, at the same time, to ceck other engage- ments if they could do better. The company unanimously decided to accompany Mr. Leake to the Lake City, and share the chances with him. Your local readers are aware that the engagement was a failore, and, after three weeks' hard £truggle. the company was disbanded. Notninz more wus thonght ‘of it than that it was an unfortunate affutr all aroand. Last week, however, Mr. Leske visited the city, when one of his quondam com- any—n otility man, named Armstrong—sued m for back pay.
