These poople 200 “E:cnted a most imposing appearance as oDE T ce above cach other tier upon the paching with all the colors of ' rainbow, the psle fashionable blue predominatins. Quite a_singular cffect was produced by the opening of the song-books, Whose backs were 3 bright gleaming red. The waves of color and the undulating motions of the restless crowd formed a picturc kalcido- £copic in its variety and bewildering to a degree with its sca of unrccognizable faces. Mr. Carl Zerrahn, the leader of the never-to- be forrotten Boston Jubiiee, had been brought out by Mr. Sumner Bugbee, the promoter snd mafu spirit of the enterprise, to guide tiis muiltitnde through a tortuous wilderness of quavers snd semi-quavers. o Te expected to find the art of music in 2 very chaotic state in Californiz, and dperhaps would ot bave been astonished 1o find us ail roaming about like the people in the * Danites,” with our wardrobes bristling with weapous of war- fare, and our music confined to picking the ‘banjo, with a “ Good-Bye, Liza Jane,” accom- paninient. i P"He professes bimself to be ngrceably disap- pointed beyond his wildest fights of fancy. He ought tobe. San Francisco is an infirmary for 2 large body_of brokeu-down_artlsts, mauy of whom (Carl Formes for one) bave held a world captive in their palmy days. They all give lessons in vocal music, and thero isnotagul in all the town with the faintesy vocal development who does not take lessons if she can pay for them. The prices are not swall. Five dollars ver hour isasked by the more liberally patronized, whiletheothers range by _zentle gradations down to §2 per bour. “This little item alone suows that, notwith- standing the cry of hard times, the Kearney agjtations, the Chinese iuvasion, aud all our other troubles, we are yeta_weil-to-do peopte. The success of the Musical Festival goes to show the same fact. There was not a person in those vast audiences who was not comparaiively well & ‘The adw n fee was 32 Busi- ness was, in 3 measure, suspended for it. This nlso showed 2 keen taste for music, something clse which the Boston leader bardly expected to find. He certainly spared no praise of what he did find. aud on the last dav paid the chorus a most delicate compliment. Ons of their_numbers—Mendelssobn’s * Farewell to the Forest *—beinz enthusiastically encorea, hie laid down his baton ard_permitted them to sing without leadership. 1ie kissed his hands to them wizh fervent admiration at tbe close, 2nd cven the phlegmatic orchestra applauded. Mr, Zerrahn himscif washonored with a pretty compliment. which showed the esprit de corps | to be something remarkable amons musical people. When he appeared on the platform va the last éay the chorus rose. to their feet with almost wild appiausc, and flung hundreds upon hundreds of tiny bouquets at the popular leader. . l {i¢ may come again come time, unless ho setiles down. it is the meneral custom of musical srtists who are well received lere to settle down. Beside all the broken-down bassos, and so- pranos, and a few baritones. in comparatively frood condition, we have no less than threo phe- nomenal amateur tenors. We bave becn leading up to this musical ¢l max for some time. A serles of orchestral con- certs have been the delight of the ladies for two or tirec winters past, and we bave just rec ered after a series of chamber concerts, at which large crowds silently submitied to a course of the severest classical mus! TIIE BOSS OF THE BIG DRUM. Her ovly rival has been the individual who presided over the big drum. This mammoth article—the drum, Dot the man—was set, like a huge medatlion, high above the heads of the chorus, so that the figure of tue drummer was cast into bold relfef. There gre few who could becomingly fill such a place. At the time of the big Cawilla Urso concert, some years ago, it was discovered, whea every- thiaz else was in order for rchearsal, that mo one could be found who was willing to beat the biz drum. Long search seemed useless, and it was feared that the big drum, which had been manutactured with so much care for the oceas sion, would stang idle and unresponsive. After long and anxfous trial the gentleman was discovered who presided on this occasion. He has reduced monster drumming toa ling The inspiriog anvil chorus, the .boom of ar- tillery, the clink of the blacksmith’s hammers, —nothinz could distract the attention of the thousands who filled the pavilion from the towering form of the big drummer. He had studid attitude, and stood between the pauses of his occupation like oue of the giant statesmen with Lis favorite document 1o his hand posing for the steel enwravi The littie drumstick, a small ailair of ten pounds or so, he used with a_fanctful flourish for the few opening notes. This, huwever, was 2 mere appagiatura. To the bie twenty-four-pound drumstick hie devoted the might of Lis strengthand the graces of his style. It was a picture to_see him take the measure of the distance, pose for the attack, swing the bl drumstick like n great tomshawk tbree times to give it fmpetus, apd come 3n on ike fourth swing witn a rreat crash of sound. He delivered his blows with the srrength of a mizhty Vulcan, fast und furlous, and came to positfon again breathless but self-possessed, and rrazed with superb nonchalance upon the epplauding crowd, as if he was mouarch of all Lesurveyad. S0 ne was for the ponce,-and not one of the 15,000 but paid bis meed of admiration, It is not given to every oue to nakeso muchof a brief twenty mifnutes. But1or three days he managed to make himeelf the lion of the hour by the beazing of a drnm. People laughed heartily at the performance, but they gave the bountiful applause which jia vinor and spirit demanded. A PRAYER. A reverend gentleman in our community, who st present is holding the eguivocal pos tion for # D. D. of Custom-House officer, has oczupied his off-time latterly by promulgating tke doctrine of the efficacy of prayer. e relates numerous instances of his own achlevements in this jine. Many of them are rather smail affairs, but two of them are pretty toush storics, even for a minister. He tells that he was once -afflicted with a cancer of the breath, the pain of whi something beyond descrintion. ‘T m{:?ul‘:cag seores of physicians, and -tried every known remedy. Finally, one dag while turning the corner of 1wo streers—the reverend gentleman ras particuiar about naming the strevts, 10 con- Srm the truth of the stors—the acony became unendurable. In the emerzency it occurred to Bhim 1o appeal to Heaven for aid. Strauge idea tocross o clergyman's mind!

Tuins, his pack-mule slipped off the narrow path, and was about to be plunged into an abyss of iafiuite depth. Once more the zood clerfry- man cried, “Lord help! ” and lo! heseized the muie by the tail and pulled him up as easily as if e were a rabbit. The parson acknowledges that he fs some- times moved to try to scramble along without providentisl aid, but it is not long before he is compelled 10 cry out *“Lord belo! ” Tt is tobe observed that he docs not waste words. His prayer is terse and comprehensive, and as such is to be recommended. If he had given only the cancer miracle to the publie, or a iew stories of that kind, he might by this time have ;had_quite a band of followers; but the story of the mule’s tail is not exactly the style which is best adapted to the dispensation of the Gospel. The Headboard of the Socialistic Platform. Utter Rottenness of the Planks of Which It Is Compassd. Hrs. Swisshelm in Fartber Reply to . the Hani- festo of *“The Agitation Committce.” To the Editor of The Trilune. h SWISSVALE, a., June 5.—I find- that I have done injustice to the Socialistic Plattorm in saying that its headboard consists ot-three sec- tious, when it has four, the first of which reads thus: Labor being the source of all wealth and civiliza- tron. and useful Iabos beins possible only by and throngh the sesociated efforta of the people, tne results of lubor shonld, therefore, in all justice, Deloug to'saciety. The system under which wocicty ie now organized is (mycrfal and hostile to the general welfare through it the directors of labor, neceesarily a 1l minority, are enabled, in the competitive strugele. to practically monopo- nze all the means of labor,—nll -opportunities to produce for and snpyly the wants of the people, — and the masses are, therefore, maintained ia po erty and dependence. It {s thirty-tive years since I began warning the people of the United States that their tim- ber-supply would soon run out if they did vot stop wasting ft; butIhad no ideait would be exhaustod iG my day, so that any set of men woula have to take such a bit of stuff as that to work up intoa National Platform! Astumpy passwood board, cut from a worm-caten log, out of u wind-shaken trce. 1t is warped, un- sound, and streaked with sapwood; is not fit for a pot-bench, much less a platform. As a literary composition, it is of the pom- poustype; basa surplus of participles, and great paucity of verbs. ‘The words arcall in a tangle, and it sounds like anything but the utterance of au earnest, honest man. In reading it, one cannot forget that the writer informs those whom he addresses that they ere ignorant, or avoid fecling that he presumes on that igno- rance. That man must be strangely devoid of knowl~ edge who couid believe tiat Iabor is the source of sll wealth., Oue might as weil say that buckets are the source of all water; and, as to “useful labor being impossible without asso- clation,” the statement sounds more like the ravings of a maniac than the deliberate state- ment of any man pretending to be a public cducator. Why did not these Solons tell us that wheat 15 uscless withiout a four-horse reaping- machine? The sun is the source of ail wealtn, so for as is known, and had filled this world with it long before there wasa man on it,~miilions of years before *The Agitation Committee” set up a claim to its ownership; and all that labor does for wealth is to brinz it to the con- sumer as buckets brin® water; for the THE LORING CLUB. ‘Then there is the Loring Club! 1t is fashioned upon the model of similar clubs in New York and Boston. It is composed entirely of male voices, aud the singing 15 aiven without accompaniment. But the charm of their concerts is in the audience, which is the very creme de la creme. It requires some astute diplomacy for one who is at all far down on the rungs of the soclal ladder to obtain a card. And it is so enjoyable to listen to musfc in company with peaple of whose bauk account you feel perfectly well assured. The bright particular star of the May Festivat has been Miss Anua Drasdil, the contralto solo- ist, whose fame appears to oe chicily English. She is = delightful sinzer, und her success in San Francisco has becn of the most pronounced character. She is said to have had a positive dread of this pubtic, not on accouut of its mu- sical cultsee, DUt for its terrible reputation for heiwyr cadricious and hard to please. She Is nefther handsome nor young, being upparently ot on the hitner side of 40; but ehe is charm- ing, and that suflices. TRE LAST NEVADA SENSATION. ‘The Tuscarora marriago is the pame of the latest Nevada sensation. Not many months ago a8 handsome young man called Pollard flashed upon the denizens of the Town of Tuscarors, in Nevada. He was falrly popular with the male element, but the women with one accord fell at his feet and worshiped. He was so young, so dapper, so well-dressed, so zood-looking. He ended by marrying Miss Marancy Iugh the belle of all the belles, and settling down to the staid routine of married life. But they did not, like people fn the story- books, live happy ever after. For a short three months the course of true love ran smooth, rhen one fine day Marancy in 4 storm of tears contided to the better portion of the population —to each one separately, of course, after the manner of her sex—the strange story that lher lusband was a WomAn. By the time the story was pretty well cireun- latéd Pollard had disappeared. ~Officers went in search of bim, though why or wherefore no one koows, for some few weeks after Pollard calmly walked back Into the town, and was per- mitted to remuin & free man, or wowman, or whatever he may be. He was pursued by a curfous mob when he went forth, but no effort was made to punish him, or her, for violating the laws of the State. On one oceasion, when bound for a restaurant to appease the pangs of hunzer. he met the fair but injured Marancy coming up the street. To the dismay of the crowd, she rushed up to him, flunz herseld upon his breast, threw her arms around bis neck. and & reconcilfation was effected then and there. She went to the res- taurant to supper with him, and they went home together und went to housekeeping as vefore. Every one in Tuscarora fs in a state of violent excitenens, excepting Maraney and r Lus- Vand, they being the only ones who Lnow the truth of the mystery. Some affect to have known Poliard in_the past s o woman. They say his nawme was Saliy Pollard, that be wasa bailet girl and variety artist in one of the low-class theatres some- where in the Territorics, that his dress was always eccentric, aud his habits masculive. Bug Pollard disclaims the acquaintance. Here is chance for the people who are alwars asking, What will we do with our girls? If we can marry them to each other, the weaker to the stronger, a vesed question is solved. J4ssARTIL e—— FLORENCE M'CARTHY. To the Editor of The Trivune. Cnicaco, June S.—Your article of to-day, in which you referto the attack made on mein the jail bv the inan Wheeler, does me great in- Justice. Inever was YWheeler's attorney, and I never asked to be. He called me to him and begged me to defend him some wecka ago, and I refused brcause he haa no money. Incver offered to defend him for $5. and Inever urzed him to give me his clothes, or pawn or sell his clothes, but, on the contrary, forbade him when ba offered to do so. 1 have not sourht an intervicw with him for ten days. 1never advised his wite to get a divorce, but only advised her that she could get one if Lo was convicted: aud that on being asked by heror her mother. I never offered to geta aivorce for her either with or witkout a consid- cration. Wheeler never knocked me down, and zever gave me = blow except a very slightore on the left temple, and could not have done that if he had not asked e to sit down by his side ina friciidly way, sud then jumped on me. ‘Now, Mr. Editor, is it not a hardship that you should publish all those disgusting statemeuts about meand my business on the representa- tious of an inmate of ine County Jail. What Bave Tever done to you, or to anyoody, that you should mate this deliberate attack on my personal dignity and respectability¢ Am 1 not industrious, and quiet, and inoffensive, and at- tentive to my own business?

Howe'er fhat be, it cin never agree With the feminine gender. and fashioning them to suit human faucies, is not worth mention beside toc value of the raw material. As for no labor belng useful without the Cowmune, let usleok atit: A man takes a stick, diga up a piece of ground with it, plants somc corn und pumpkin sceds, works them and weeds them, and then lives on his corn and purapkins all winter. Was his labor uscless be- cause he did not et up a society, hold a con- vention, pass resolutious, and pay a President and Seeretary, and half-a-dozen other idiers, tor talking about his rights and wrongs, and the ownership ot that stick? Some years ago, a set of women got it into their heads that they had o right to' go {nto all the trades, and, instead of exercising that rizht, they spent their time talkine about it, and the right is in abeyance even to this day; and now men have been smitten with the talk- iog mauis, and proclaim that they caunot do avy usefal labor without n eociety, while a set. of men who do npothing but talk tell them that the procecds of their labor is to belong, not to the laborer, but to society, which means that *The Agitation Com- mittee™ are to be keptin good clotues, good lodgings, and plenty of beer and tobacro, by 10- cent monthly dues wheedled out of working- men, who are plainly told by said Committee that they are too ignorant (0 know what {sgood for them, and wbich Committce provose to cure at fenorance by teaching that **Production belongs to the producer,” and that *“The re- sulta of labior belong to socicty.™ Now, what is ** production” if it is not * the results of labor ¢ And if the one belongs to the producer snd the other belongs to society, what are we goinz to do about it?

Like many American {nventions, it meets with great- er favor there than in the land ot its origin. In London and in the leading cities ol Great Dritain, spiritual seances arc said to be a sort of eufertainment as common us kettie-drums and dinner-parties. They are very fashionable, and everybody who is apybody attends them. Pict- ures’ of mediums and niaterialized epirits, as they appear in open circle, are published in English spiritual journals. Slade, whose tric were exposed here, has received magnificent presents of watches. jewelry, and diamonds in Bertin. His seances have heen attended in Germany and Russia by the highest nobility.
