Frem Our Own Correspondent. New YORE, March 22.—It has been the fate of the tenors engaged by Mr. Fryer for his Wagner Jest to send light ripples of irrepressible laugh- ter through the audiences at the Academy on at least two occasions. There was nothing dis- respectful about the amusement. It was spon- tancous and natural, caused in once case by the neglect of the “duster,” in the other by the nervousness ot the artist himself. Mr. Werren- rath, the painstaking tenor of Plymouth choir, had been strucgling with Lokengrin, a burden too beavy for his vocal and dramatic power alike. He did creditably, however, for an amateur in sotrying a place, and the listeners were dis- posed to be sympathetic rather than harsh- Iy critical. They would never have been so discourteous asto laughat his singing; they couldn’t help laughing at bis unexpectdd dust- Taising. It came in the tragic scenc of thelast act, where Elsa sees the murderous Frederick coming upon her weaponless lord, rushes to the sofa for his sword, and presents it exactly in scason for Lokengrin to thrust it under the left arm of his assailant. This was effected, Frod- erick died, 2nd Elsa lay in a swoon at her hus- band’s feet. He, unhappy man, instead of drop- ping hus reeking sword, so tospcak, on the floor, gave it a scornful toss on the sofa. The cloud of dust that resulted completely hid the partics for a moment, and—evervbody smiled aloud. Nor could a sccond round be avoided when the white-robed Else was deposited on the same sofa. Itisto be hoped that the sofa, tozether with some responsible party, received & thorough brushing up next day. What could ‘be more shockicg than to have farce thus break in upon tragedy, especially when a grand orches- tra continues playing music not a single bar of which you are contented to lose. TANNHAUSER KEEPING TIME. ‘The second instance was furnished, 1 am sorry to say, by Mr. Bischoff, who has ncither Jost a particle of his nervousness nor improved in his stage appearance since his participation in Masa- riello at McVicker's. To sing Tannhauser was s large thing to undertake, and Mr. Bischoff was aware of it. Had he been lcss so be might have improved upon himself, though it was not in him to act the tender lover or the impassioned minnesinger, be he nervous or col- lected. He was in excellent voice, and got along fairly till the besutiful double quartets, where the minnesingers purposc to kill their degraded companion, while Elizabeth acts as a Pocahontas and wins over her father, the Landgrave, lo vezce. The flow and whirl of the passionate music carried the poor tenor zway, and as he s2ng his score of repentance bie kept time both with hands and body to tac music. The passage wrs ope of the finest and most impressive in the opera, but there wasno belp for it,—the andience had to smile. - Solofsts andehoruswere all husy, the orchestra was working up a tre- mendous climax, and there the hero who had cume from Venus' court was bobbing awsay like 2 jumping-jack worked by machinery. No after- restrzint eould remove the ludicronsness of this sceue, and it is fesred Mr. Bischofl has effectu- uliy disposed of himseclf as an operaticartist. A REDEENING ORCHESTRA- Tanubauser was not so well rendeced. on the vhole, as its predecessors in the series. The chorus was vnustally bad, and Venus arrayed herself o absurdly that she was ex- cused from appearinz in the last act, to the general relief. Yet there were some markedly excellent features, as Mme. Pappen- heim’s Zlizabeth and Mr. Preusser’s Landyrave, while the orchestra would have redecmed any- thing. The overture alone was worth the eveu- ing, and Mr. Neuendorfl fairly outdid himself. Heexpends more _energy in one performance than a~v dir- tor I bave seen, not excepting the excitabl - .- inast Strausc. It really becomes a wonder to you that the violent little man does uot dislocate his neck and paralyze his arms. But he briugs the music out of his or- chestra with an accuracy which Thomas could not afford to smeer at, and with a fecling which Thomas might well cultivate. As a thorough lover of the Wagner musle said last nigbt, in regard to Mr. Neuen- dorfl’s leadership, he is Thomas, with o soul added. He works under two advantages, which are not inconsiderable—the. one of having had part in the Bayrenth Festival, the other of hav- inz under his control some -sixty of the very best musicians in this country. Many of them arc from Mr. Thomas' Wagnerian teaching- school, and all are from socicties which bave long stood beside that Jeader in devotion to the German composer. Yet aunother point in his favor. Mr. Neucndorfl received copies of the score for “Dic Walkure,” together with special instructions as to its reproduction in America, from Wagner himsell. DESERVED GOOD PORTUNE. The highest fortune of this opera season, however, fails to Madame Pappenheim, who has pleased equally well and dove equally well whether as Senfa, as Elsa, or as Elizabeth. 'This result is not less deserved than gratifying to those who Loow the cloud the really great prima donna has been under, through no fault of her own, during most of her residence in this city. She won success in the Italian opera last scason, iLis true, but mot till mow hare musfeal people known her power and resources. 1 was amused recently at the enthusiasm of a weltknown comnofsscur, who las kept cose tracc of the opera bhere and in Boston for the past fifteen years, and not inissed » scason or 4 mew artist. ‘This gentleman, whose profession or business lias Jed him to a constant study of tone and tune, satd he hiad attended every performance, and with a spocial view to comparison. “The fact is, I went to find defects. And T have yet to detect the artist in a single false note. Why, sir,” he continued. **when you re- something over four years ago, under repre- scutations of the most flattering kind. That these were not realized is taid to the charge of Herr Wachtel. That jealous and tyrannical tenor, it is said, refused to share the honors of his season with an artist who was likely indeed to get her full proportion of them. He wanted to shine by contrast to everybody about him, as the soprano of this Wagner season has shone, for tuie reason that no tenor or contralto could be found to worthily support ier. So the young stranger Jost her engagement, and received aseri- ous blow professionally. No other opportunity- was open Lo hier, and she was compelled to bide her time for recognition. In addition to these ill circumstances her husband became temporar- ily insane, largely on.account of her unfair treatment. It is not surprising, therefore, that those knowing the facts and sympathizing with the lady should be glad of her presert triumpl. Mme. Pappenheim is 23, large of stature, and nefther pretty nor bandsome. But sne isa thorough artist. She dresses tastefully, isapt at concealing her size where that is possible, and acts with a graccand paturainess which render her attractive. She was placed under in- struction at the age of 12 in Vieana, where che was bern, andat 17 made her debut as Valentine in the “Hugucnots,” at Linz, Aus- triz. She was successful from the first, and sang in Berlin, Leipsic. Brunswick, Carlsrube, Hamburg, and other cities, Mr. Neuendorff found herin Hamburg, and a favor- jte. Inl1Smshe sang Senta in the “Fiving Dutchman™ at Mannheim, when Wagner at- tended the performance. The composer gave her, through the press, this compliment: “The fair-haired Senta of Mme. Pappenheim was delightful. She was the northern girl of my fmagination: softand clegiac in bearicy and voice, deeply impressive in ber devotion to the phantom sailor.” The last of the series, “Die Walkure.” coutd not be prepared for Friday night, aud has been postponed till next week. What with the re- quirements of the music on the voices, and the necessity for daily rehearsals, the marve! is, not that the fourth opera is necessarily delayed, but that the singers are not all laid away for re- pairs. 1 should have spoken of the debut in ¢ Lohengrin? of Miss Emma Cranch, in whom Cincinnati takes parental interest, but for the significant fact that, having given. her trial in Brooklyn, the director did not not deem it pru- dent to present her as Orfrude in New York. A HUMORIST ON HIS OWN BOOK. Mr. Alden, the purc humorist of the Times, who has been induced to father a book, converses very much in the vein of his writings. Itisno study with him to be.humorous; he can’t help it. It is his mental comstitution that things should appear to him iz 2 happy and ludicrous light, and in most absurd relations. This makes the charm and freshness of the humor, which has no particle of the caustic or sarcastic about it. Not long sioce I had a chat with Mr. Alden which was quite as entertaining as one of his column cditoriats. He said very earnestly that he had mo wish to print a book. He never would have done it if he had been let alone. But the publishers came after him, and his fricnds told him it would be sheer obstinacy to hold out arainst so generous proposals. They didn’t seem to think it mattered much that he should be ruined by putting his name ou a title page. He still would have remained obstinate Dut for the advice of Mr. Croly, of the Graphic, in whose judgment he confided most fully. 1t was a great nuisance, he continued, to print a book. No wonder authors got tired of them- gelves. Hchad been obliged to read all the first proofs, and now I could see on his table a great pile of “revises ” to be gone through. It was punishment cuough to have written so mnuch, without having it thus thrust beforc your face as a bard reality. Besides, ke didu’t shink much of the book, though he hoped readers would differ with him. Mention being made of the fact that a special correspondent had written something about him to Tne Triscxe a few weeks since, Mr. Alden said he had been presented with a lip of it. He was, of course, oblized for the very com- plimentary language, and hoped the writer be- lieved it. But there were one or two little points of no importance to which be could not agree. The correspondent had made him a brother of Dr. Alden, of Harpers, which was correet with the exception thathe held no relation—not even that of third cousin—to Dr. Alden, and that the latter gentleman was nota “Dr. This busi- ness of titles he never conld comprehend. Nearly all the literateurs connected with the Harpers were culled *Doctors,” possibly be- cause they weren't. He could think of no bet- terreason. 1 may add that the correspondent. said Mr. Alden was a pronounced blonde, which lie is not, being rather a brunette. As Iwas departing. Mr. Alden sald, with a {winze of melancholy in his voice, that he hoped to sur- vive his book, but he had his doubts all the same. His only consolation would be that he had done bis best to ruin onc publishing house. There was something in that. LEISURE-UOUR ARTISTS. The night-receiving and delivery-clerks in the oflice of the Western Union—those poor fellows who begin service at midnight and leave it in time for a 10-0’clock breakfast—devise various ways to drive dull care away during the hours when most of thie world lies slecping. They Thave among themselves a dramatic association named the Enterprise, which makes a public ap- pearance twice or thrice a year in a little hall on Fourth street. The performance is varied, and the preparation for it occupies muchof the leisure found at the oflice.. 1f you enter with a message after *2 of the morning, you will be quite likely to hear a familiar ballador ditty, cung to the accompaniment of a banjo. Or perhaps ome of the nimbletooted will be trying a pew step in s “elog™ progress. Be not surprised, cither, if the light-mustached clerk who takes your message liave on his desk a copy of A Decided Casc,” or some other light drama in which he has arole to appropriate. Nouc of this enter- tainment, however, interferes with raphd and faithful work. The clerks siug while they arc casting up accounts, but the' accounts are cast correatly. The banjo-blayer twangs the strings and the dancer shuffles over the tile floor only when there isa lull. The recciver imagines ‘himself 2 hero in tarpaulin jacket rescuing a rock-bound maiden from the wild sca waves only whenwaiting foramessage. The Company loses notling, the night-workers lcep them- sclvesin lumor and awake, and when the play comes on it is to the delight of 200 or 300 rela- tives and friends whose pride in “their boys * “is cqualed onlv by the good nature and jollity of the boys themselves. THE CHILDREN'S CARNIVAL. ‘The marked social cvents of the scason were all joined to charity, and the aiter-Lent revival of dancing at'the Academy is not to be an ex- ception. - The Children’s Carnival, the novelty arranged for April5, s to resuit for the benefit of the invalid poor of the city. Whatever pru- dent parents may think of putting the little people futo favcy.dresses and so prominent a rard the character of the music, the most try- ing in the world to the memary, the accuracy ot Mine. Pappenbeim is simply astonishing. That ‘was the point paturally which first struck me. But she is no Jess capable in tone. There Is not & harsh or unplensant note in her register, and what 3 power of voice she has! Miss Keilogeg would not be heard at sll against such an or- chestra. Nothing scems able to exhaust Mme. Pappenbeim. I know of no one who has viven me equal enjoyment, except Lucca. She 18 in Italian what Mme. Pappenheim is in Ger- man opera, and in certain regards the tatter ranks the former decidedly. Nilsson could not compare with her. ‘This woman is not only a singer; sheis alive to the spirit of the music: cbeisan actress; she sings as if she hada heart.” 1 quote thix gentleman becausc he represents & class hard to wring cnthuslasm out of, and be- cause he fairly represents it in this instance. When an artist wins one of these critics over, it meaus eomething. It means, for instauce, that Mme. Pappenheim can have crowded houses next scason, asshe has had this. It meshs the reputation which makes stage snccess every- where. ~ 'WACHTEL AND HIS SOPEANO. * . Mme. . Pappenheim: came . to.- Now York positivn, there is no more doubt that the floor will present a fuiry-like scene than there is that society will be there to sceit. The programinc opens with a tableau of Columbia presenting Prince Carnival to the different nations. It in- { cludes, further, a grand march, with minuet; { the catry of Cinderella in ker golden coach, drawn by four goats, and followed by her court, who will dance the Tarautelia; the Queen of England and her court in procession, English national dance; a procession of Trrol- ese, introducing their music of the cithara and dancing their famous waltz; the Chivesena with bell music and dance by cighty Loy Kk dance; and a flower waltz, during which the Flower Queen and her suite will distribute bou- quets to the audience. Vhen the small folk have had their evening, the after-ball will begin with the favorite minuet, in wkhich thirty-two couples will participate. - Some new * German * figures are promised as another feature of this gay spring opening. Y BRIG-A-BRAC AT AUCFION. If it has been the fashion since the Centen- nial to buy the wares of Chioa and Japan, it has been no less the practice to offer them at auc- tion. . Never has there proved a more thorough suction scason, extending over pletures and books as well as brica-brac.

WORNDERS OF MODERN SCIENCE. The perfeet accuracy with which scientists are enabled to deduce the most minute particulars in their several departnents appears almost ‘miraculous if we view it n the lizht of the early ages. Take for example the electro-maguetic telegraph—the greatest invention of the age. Ts it not 1 murvelous degree of accuracy which cnables an operiter to exactly locate a fracture in a submarine cable nearly 3,000 miles long? Our vencrable *clerk of the weather ™ has become - so thoroughly familiar with those most wayward clements of maturc that he can accurately predict their move- ments. Tecan eit in Washington and foretell what the weather will be to-morrow in Florida or New York, as well as if several hundred miles did not intervenc between him and the places named. And so iu all departments of modern science, what is required is the knowl- edge of certain signs. From thesc the scientists deduce accurate conclusions, regardless of dis- tance. A few fossils sent to the expert geolo- gist cnables him to accurately determine the rock-formation from which they were taken. He can deseribe it to you as perfectly asif a dleft of it were Iying on his table. So also the chemist can determine the constitution of the sun as accurately as if that luminary were not 95,- 000,000 miles from his laboratory. The sun gends certain signs over the *‘intinitude -of space” and the clhemist classifies them by pass- ing them the spectroscone. Only the presence of certain substances could prodace these solar signs. So also, in medical science, diseases have certain unmistakable s1zns or symptoms, and by reason of this fact Dr. Pierce, of the World's Dispenszry. has been enabled to originate and verfeet .a system of determining, with the greatest aceuracy, the nature of chronic diseases without sceing and personally ex- amining his paticnts. He has sparcd neither pains nor expense to associate with himsclf, as the Faculty of the World's Dispensar, a larze number of medical gentlemen of rare attain- ments and skill,—sraduates from some of the most famous Medical Colleges and Universities of botl Europe and America. By aid of Dr. Picrce's system of diagnosis, these physicians ana surgeous aunually treai, with the most gratifying success, many thousands of invallds without cver seeing: them in person. - In revog- nizing discases without a persuual cxamination of the patient they clalm to possess no miracu- lous puwers. They attain their knowledge of the paticnt’s disease by the practical application of well-cstablished principles of modern science to the practice of medicine. And it is to the accuracy with which this eystem has endowed them that they owe their almost world-wide reputation for the skillful treatment of all lingering or chronic affections. This sys- tem of practice, and the marvelons success whichhias been attained through it, demonstrate the fact that diseases display certain phenom- Because it ena, which, being subjected to scientific analysis or synthesis, furnish abundant and unmis- takable data to guide the jndgment of the skillful practitioner aright in determin- ing tho naturc of diseascd conditions. The amplest resources for treating lingering or chronfc diseases, and the greatest skill, arg thus placed within . the easy reach of every invalid, however distant he or she may reside from the plysicians making the treatment of such affee- tions a speclalty. The peculiarities of _Hus scientifle system of practice are fully cxplained in the sppendix of * The People’s Common Sense Medical Adviser,”—a book of over 90 large pages, which is so popular as to have reachied a sale of almost 100,000 capies within a few imonths of its first publication.
