PERSECUTION OF WHITTAKER Some Plain and Pointed Talk. Dr. Uilland tn Scribner for Sity. ‘There are certain qualities and characteristics which always distinguish the gentleman. He is always kindly in spirit, courteous in manner, and gallant in the detense of the weak, and es- veciully of those—whether men or women—who have no power to defend themselves. Describe uDy wan, anywhere, in these words, and there would be no hesitation in any socicty in pro- nouncine him a gentleman. Great surprise bas been manifested among people in different parts of the country that a system of offensive and persistent discourfesy has been practiced toward the cadet Whittaker at West Point on account of the fact that he bad a tincture of African blood in his veins. Itwas supposed that the typical West Point cadet wasa gentieman, and that such treutment as had been bestowed upon Whittaker would be impossibie there. Now, there is a very simple explanation of the social treatment of Whittaker, ana there isreally no otcasion for surprise jn the matter. For, con- sider how the sckool is made up, Nothing inore miscelluncous than the components of the West Point schoul can possibly be imagined. A larze nuimber scck appolutments here because they cunnot afford to pay tor a first-class education themselves. They are often the sons of helpless wWiuows,—perhaps sometimes of. pusbing and thrifty adesmen. Indced, we suppose that the most of those who goto West Point are in cir- cumstances which render it desirable to get an education for nothing. What sort of an assem- blage sould ihie condition naturally uring to- wothory Won: yatoralis briegthase who have been well bred,—those who have had the cutture ‘of polite society, and of high-toned Christian homes? Is it reasonable to ex- pect that the average cadet will be a gentleman? Is it not asking too much that be shall make equal progress. in muthematics und polite ideus? The smart boy ot a Congressional district may have been re- urded with pride in the little community he je from, but he could not reasonably vé ex- pected to blosom at once into a gentleman when ingrafted upon a community whose roots strike into the same soil trom which he has hithcrto dra‘rn nl! bis nourishment. Now, the difference between West Point and Harvard, 50 far ns the manners of the students are concerned, {s the difference between the parentage and home and socini culture of the students. There are other colleges which sbare with Hurvard the patronage of those whom we call our beat people,—those who stund highest in the sociul scale,—but Harvard is. without ques- tion, the institution which boids the largest number of students from the beat homes and highest society of the Nation. Well, how does Harvard treat the African when brought. into direct association with him as a student? Prof. Greener, who appeared at West Point in the trial of the Whittuker case, wa3 a man of African blood, and a Harvard map. While in Harvard, he roomed with a white man.—that is, they had their purlor together, Jike the other students, with separate beds in alcoves or rooms opening into the purlor—and he was treated in alt'fespects asif he had een a white manent ing at the table with white students. Indeed, the testimony seems to be that he was much tore of a favorit than many of the white stu- dents. and particular pains were taken that he ebould never feel that he was at any sort of dis- count on account of his color. In other words, they treated him as menef good breeding al- ways treat those with whom circumstances bring them into association, provided they them- selves are well-behaved aud inoffensive. They unswered our description of gentlemen. They were kindly in spimt; they were courteous in manner; and, knowing the history of the rican in’ tis ‘country. they took Special pains that their African associute should nut fe while among them, any social disadvantage which that history had subjected him. to in the minds of rude or snobbish men. There cun hardly be more tbun one opinion among our. readers in regard to the nature of the treatment of Greener and Whittaker in the institutions to which they belonged. Greener was treated like with rude and disdainful discourtesy by men who were not gentlemen. And here lies the pity of it: the West Point boys have conceived themselves to be gentlemen, and have looked upon and treated Whittaker as their social in- terior, and by so doing have proved themselves not to be gentlemen ut all, They bave mage a great mistake. What they have done has proved | them 10 be ill-bred boors. Jt has also testitied Ww an uncomfortable consciousness on their part of weakness in their pohte associations. Menof xvod families and an assured position in society have no fear of compromising their position by being polite toa nerro. On the contrary, they are gentlemen enough to know that they would compromise their position very much by giving a negro any slight whatever on avcount of his color. Whittaker, before the law and ut the bal- Jot-box, is any man’s equal. The Government wives him an equal place in the West Point in- stitution, and the shgbts put upon him and all the bitterness of race coutempt that has been deult out to him there is an insult to the Goy- ernment whose bread be has eaten in common witb those who have persistently shunned or abused him, There must be some among the cadets, of gvod families and ood instincts, whose impulses would vaturally be to treat Whittaker in a gentlemanly way. We are sorry for these, for they have been morally overborne br the haser elements in the institution. They have not bad the backbone to stand by the poor African, and take the proscription that would come of it. They must settle it with themselves as to whether this bending to public opinion is an | evidence of bravery or cowardice, and as to whether they can afford to have their sense of justice sophisticated and their character for Christian courtesy sacrificed by yielding defer- ence to a collection of il!-bred snobs. ‘The West Point Academy may be a very use- ful iustitution in an educational and military aspect, but until an African can have as good a chance there as white man, through the social respect and kindness of all who come into con- tact with him, it can Iay no valid claim to being acollecuon of gentlemen.

A Notable Event in Our Musical His- tory—Twwo Cantatas by Local Composers, The One Hundred and Twen- ty-first Psalm by Mr. P. A. Otis. “Dornroeschen"” by John A. West —Their Performance a Great Success. “Fatinitza” at McVicker’s. The Commencement concert of the Hershey School of Musical Art, which took place on Fri- day evening Jact, was an event of unusual im- portance, and‘marked an era in the progress of musical education in this city, inasmuch as two original compositions were brought out by grad- uates of this institution. The first was a sacred cantata, written on the verses of the Wist Psalm, for chorus and four solo voices, with organ accompaniment, by Phito A. Otis, who bas been for-the past four years a pupil of Mr. H.Ciarence Eddy. Thesec- | ond work isa secular cantata, entitled “Dom- réschen,” or “Little Rosebud,” adapted from the German iegend of the “Sleeping Beauty.” This isseored for solo voices and chorus, with orchestral accompaniment, by John A. West, who has studied with Mr. Frederic Grant Gleason for about three years. Each work was conducted by its own composer. Mr. Otis’ cantata opens with a chorus of Indies’ voices, which is preceded by-an introduction of twenty-four measures in three-quarter rhythm. This isfollowed, after a short interlude and a chunge of rhythm, by a positive and character- istic theme given out by the bassos. This is worked out in imitative style, and a climax is reached by full. massive chords, which is re~ markabiy effective. By a clever management of the movement, the three-quarter rbytym is again taken up without disturbing the m¢ludic form, and the theme of the first part is treated for mixed voices in a most pleasing manner. ‘The second number, a contralto solo, was sung by Mrs. Oliyer K. Johnson with great breadth of style and beauty of expression. It begins quasi recitativo, and introduces a number of charming bits of melodic and harmonic effects. Tho Principal theme of this number is given to the words, “Behold, He that keepeth thee shall neither slumber nor sleep.” Itis a high type of melody, aud the accompaniment is admirably adapted. The design is orchestral, and the blending of the flute, reed, and string quatities was successfully given by the organ. Taken altogether, this !s one of the most beauti- ful numbers of the cantata. The third number commences in 2 vigorous and brilliant manner, the words of the chorus being: The Lord is thy keeper, the Lord fs thy shade at thy right band. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved.” ‘This was brought out with great animation; but the splendid climax which was reached onthe words “ The sun shall not smite thee by. ‘da: was thrilling, and showed that the composer was master of his subject and of the means of ex- pression. A fine -contrast was given on the words, “* Northe moon by night.” where every- ihing” was subdued ana peaceful. Tho | Hute obligato ii the accompaniment at this | place is exceedingly beautiful, the movement | #iven out in this passage is taken up by the | other parts, and a second climax is brought out with telling effect. From this point there is a gradual dimfnucndo, and the movement dies away to the faintest Sounds of the orgun. No. £ is @ quartet, written in canon form, which is technicaliy of the greatest difficulty. Mr. Otis has not only succeeded in adhering to the strict form of writing, but has produced a musical composition of rare beauty aud interest, 1t was delightfully sung by Mrs. J. A. Farwell, Mrs. 0. KK. Johnson, Messrs. C. A. Knorr, and J. M. Hub- rd. The lust chorus, with its “Amen.” served. to display the gencral musicalability of the com- poser in the broadest seuse. In this he has om- ployed free four-part writing, the choral, simple aml—~duublte counterpoint; as well as- fumue form. It maybe pronounced a success not only trom a techinal standpoint, but from an object- ive point of view. The style is grand and mns- sive, and the variety always well contrasted. The theme of the fugue which is introduced by the altos, is characteristic, and never fails to assert itself during the development of the same. ‘The counterpoint is stuooth and fluwing, and the modulations well defined. The effect of the choral. which appears as an episode, is peculiarly pleasing. The accompantment to this Is an ex- position of the fugue theme, and to those who could distinguish the inner workings this was. probably the most fascinating feuture of the whole tata. The work is brought to a hichly satisfactory close with the full powers of the ! cherus and organ. Mr. Otis isto be congratu- lated on producing a work of this magnitude, and of such sterling qualities. His bilities as 2 conductor are also to be commended. He | possesses a Jurge degree of personal magnetism, andthe grace with which he wielded the baton showed that be is unusually talented in this direction. ‘THE CANTATA OF “DORNROSCHEN,” orthe “Sleeping Beauty,” is a setting of the beautiful German myth ‘of that name. 18 is divided into three scenes, the first being pre- ecded by n hunting chorus of spirited expres- sion. The first scene proper is laid in the en- chunted forest und begins with a recltative for the Prince, in which he speaks of the mysterious stillness which pervades the forest. Here the color of the orchestral accompaniment is dark and ‘sombre and tinged with an air of mys- terious melancholy. ‘The legend follows, re- lated by a baritone voice. telling of the castle and enchantment and of the golden-haired maiden who sleeps in her chamber awaiting a deliyerer. At this-point enters the “love motive,” a tender and pussionate strain, which aids Jargely in the dramatic working out of the subject. The Prince determines toundertake the adventure, but is warned of the terrible fate which bas overtaken those who have essayed it. The whole of this warning is conceived in a very original and dramatic form and works up to a climax that is powerfully de- strings ugninst.a rush of chromatic scales in the high register of the tlutes, while the harmonies are sustained and colored by clarionet and bas- soon, But the Prince's determination does not waver, and, after singing an exquisit prayer for help aud guidance, in which occurs a beautiful accompanying melody for tlute and oboe, the chorus closes the scene. The second scene is in the enchanted castle, and opens with a charming fairy chorus, an- nouncing tbe termination of.the hundred years of the duration of the magic spell, and the clos of their vigil. At last the Prince makes his ap- earance, and awakens the fair sleeper with a kiss, the love motive of the first scence again oc- curring, worked up into many new and beautiful forms, and finally blending with a beautiful and pussionate love duet, sung by the Prince and Roxcbud, . The third scene is devoted to the festivities and rejoicings of the now awakened court, who thunk their deliverer, to whom the King presents bis daughter in murriage. Again the fairies make their appearance with their benedictions. These fairy choruses ure of the most delicate construction, und are ushered in and accom- panied by beautitul orchestral effects. The finale “consists of full choruses and sem!-choruses of men and maidens conceived in a very uncon- ventional vetn, and finely expressive of the hap- pines of the occasion. The work is full of eantiful melodie and barmonic effects, and the scormg displays a fine knowledge of the eolor to be derived from the various instru- mental combinations. Sir. West is to be con- gmtulated upon this his first work, which is one of the greatest promise for the future as well ax a present success. He has been a faithful and diligent student, and bas a fine knowledye of the various devices of the science of counter- point. which he uses with it facility. The soloists all sang with moeh finish the dilli- cult parts allotted to them. Miss Ettie But- ler who impersonated the part of Rosebud, sing exquisitly the intensely passionate musi¢ given tu this character. She was ably sec- onded by Mr. J. L. Jobnston as the Prince, wha ig the pos: r of a remarkably beautiful and sympathetic voice, and sang with the greatest steudiness and precision. contributing largely to the successful fssue of the performance. Mr. James Gill, asthe King, sang with much fire and dramatic powér. and received many tokens of approbation from the audience. The orchestra, it is to be regretted, was out of tune and more than once out of time, so that full justice was not done to the work; and yet, while it was not heard to its best adyant the impression created by it was very favorable. Chicago may certainly boast two amateur composers of no ordinary ability. We hope to hear from them again, | + FATINITZA. “Boccaccio” has finished its two weeks’ run at McVicker's, and this k.** Fatinitza” will be revived with the following cast: - Hise Winston ‘The Conservatory of Music at Evanston opens” Sept. =.

On the occasion of the ninth annual business meeting of the Apollo Musical Club, which was held in Apollo Hall, June 2s, the following named gentlemen were unanimously elected xs officers for the forthcoming season of 1880-81: J. Van lnwagen.President; William Sprague, Vice-Pres- ident; J. S. Hamilton, Secretary; William Cox, Treasurer: Board of Management—J. Van In- wagen, William Sprague, J.S. Hamilton, E. A. Otis, and G. N. Stone; H. Brown, Librarian. The above named zentlemen have been prominentiy connected with the Apollo Club for the past cight years. and, with the codperation of about 150 active members, it is determined to make the forthvoming season one that will reflect great credit upon the musical interest of Chi- cago. + “ MUSICALLY MAD.” The London Times, in criticising a recent per- formance of *Iucia,” very sensibly siys: * Owing toa curious perverseness of fate, the age which hus produced perhaps the finest *‘gbt’ soprani ever heard tis by no moans pro- jitle in operas adapted for their special gifts. ‘The modern German school on principle abhors rowlades and fiorilure, but even in modern French and Italian operas the chief task {s rarely in- trusted to the quality of voice just referred to. ‘The Queen.in the ‘ Huguenots,’ Filina in ‘Mig- non,’ such are the parts with which light soprani have to be satisfied; even Marguerite in ‘ Faust’ does not properly belong to thelr domain, al- though {t approaches the border-line. . The con- sequenceis that they have to fall back upon the earlier Itulian repertoiro; and many a good old- Fashioned opera owes its survival to the cireum~ stance. We do not say that this is alto- gether the case with Donizetti's ‘ Lucia.’ No unprefudiced critic can deny its merits. The Septet in the. seennd act is a masterpiece, and the entire finale of that act full of dramatic power of the highest order. The duets of Lucy with her tover and her crue! brotheralso are not without beauty of their special kind. On the other hand, there are shallow places innumera- ble, and the mad scene in the third act is from a dramatic point of view rrotesquely absurd. In a curious volume entitled ‘Pills to Purge Mel- ancholy.’ by Tom D'Urfey (published in 1719), that prolific poet and playwright distinguishes five Vurictics of ‘the Indy distracted with love. We have the Indy ‘sullenly mad,’ ‘mirtbfully mad,’ ‘melancholy mad.’ ‘ fantastically mad,’ and ‘stark mad,’ Had Tom D'Urfey lived. in our days, Donizetti, M. Gounod, and other composers would’ have taught him that there js still another species,—the lady ‘musically mad.” A person thus aflicted would, according to Donizetti’s notion, seem to be inclined and able to sing the most diflicult and tlorid music conceivable, to venture without hesitation upon scale passages and foriture and shakes, at which a prudent singer might cer- tainly well stand aghast. To speak pluinly, the composer, like many other writers of his school, Torgeta in the scene we are speaking of his dramatic mission entirely. He wishes to write a show piece of musical execution, and in this task, at least, be has not failed. The singer very naturally follows the composer's example. Sho also forgets her identity with the untortunate Lucy Ashton, and merrily warbles away at the audience regardless of the sympathetic chorus behind her back, which, ag in duty bound, puts in an oceasfonal ‘Gran Dio’ or ‘Di lei, signor, ple MUSICAL NOTES.

The voice is a true soprano, of con- siderable compass, and, although she'sings oc- casionally out ot tune, and bus that harsh qual- ity of voice in the middle end lower registers which is trequently met with amung modern German sopranos, she bas won the hearts of her audience by her artistic instincts and bearing, and by her complete abnegution of self to the needs of her part.

These are the spoiled children of the world, whose fate Is to get the bost of everything with- out regard to their deserts. Others may be warm, may shiver with cold, may be weary, may be ill, but they must not complain. The burden of lamentation comes from those who wero never too warm or too cold, never weary or ill, but who tremble lest in some cruel way they should be forced to suffer, and thus provide against it beforehand, ‘o these spoiled children the system of things in general hus no other de- sign than to give them comfort in particular. And by some subtle law of attraction the good things of the world are almost certain naturally to gravitate toward them. They sleep well; thoy dine well; they are petted by everybody; ‘they have no despnirs; thoy never suffer from’ other people's mishaps. A womun who marries one of these spoiled children may be sure of an opportunity to prac- tice all the feminine virtues: Sho is certiin to have been very much in Jove with him, for he was handsome, could dance and flirt to perfec- tou, and wus the very ideal of a charming lover. The little dash of seifishness in bis aute-nuptial imperiousness and tender tyrauny pleased her, for it seemed to be the sxpression of 2 more ardent love than that of every-day mon. It de- pends very much upon her gencrosity und large- hess of heart whether she s00n wakes up to the fact that she has murried a being destitute of sympathy, wholly careless and ignorant of others’ needs and requirements, full of caprices, allowing every Impulse to carry’ him away, and thoroughly bent on having his own will and bend- ing everybody about hin to his own purposes. Self-renuncistion and absolute devotion and self-sacrifice are natural to women of a certain quality of intellect and heart, and possess the most powerful charm to their imagination, Vided they can have a dash of romance or a Kindling of sentiment. Henco this form of martyrdom offera the female sex the pose in which it has sit for its portrait all the centuries since civilization begau, and tho::picture stands out impressively uguinst a background we ull can recornize. As a school for heroism nothing can equal marriage with a spoiled child. But, ulthouzh ‘probably quite a3 many in- stances may be found in one sex us in the other, the characteristics of a spoiled child are dis- tinetly feminine, and in no measure belong to robust masculinity. Thus, for a study, let us take a girl who from her cradle hus foundevery- thing subordinate to ber princess-like whinis, inclinations, and caprices, and bas had her way by siniles and cajoleries, or sobs and tears, as the case may be. She tinds out at an early nge that it, ie plcusaater and more profitable to bo petted and pumpered than to be forced to shift for herself. She learns that an engy little pitiful curve of her coral lips and upward glance of hor baby orbs is nuswered by certuin manifestations of tenderness and concern: thus she “makes eyes,” flirts, as it were, before she can talk, and studics the art of successfultyranny. Thenurs- —in fact, the entire house—rejoices when sho rejoices and trembles when she weeps. Sho wants everything she sees, and sulks at any su- perlority of circumstances in another; but then she sulks bewitchingly. Wherever she gocs she carries an imperioussway, and keeps her foot well on the necks of her admirers. ‘The spoiled’ child blossoms into perfection as young lady. Thatisher destiny, and to the proper fulfillment of it her family and friends stand ready to devote themselves. It may bo thoy are a trifle weary of her incalculable tem- per, that her fuseinations have palled a little upon them, and thst her mysterious inability to put up with the lotof every-day mortals and cur disagreeables contentedly has worn out their pationce. They want her to marry, and, without wasting any empty wishing upon a re- sult so certain to cone, she wants to marry her- self. She is not Lkely to have unattulnable ideals; what she d¢mands fs 2 continuation of her petted existence,—s lifelong adorer to min- ister to her vanities and desires, to find her al- ways beautiful, always precious, and to smooth away the rough plates of life for her. Nothing.cun be more bewitching than she is ou her entrance into society. Nothing could seem more desiratie to an admirer than tho posession of the beautiful creature who. with per ulteruations of,.gwoetness and imperious. tenderness agd cruelty, stimulates big ardor, and apperrs tote like & spirit of fire and’ dew than a real wombn. “It seems to him the most delightful thing in the world when she confesses that she never likos what she has, but always craves what she bas‘ not,—that sho hates everything useful and prosaid, and likes every- thing which peuple declare she ought to re- nounce. She is unreasonable, and he loves her unreason,—it bewitches him; she is obstinate, and he lovesto feel the strength of ber tiny’ will, as if it were the manifestation of some phenomenal force in her nature. Her scorn for common things, ber fastidiousness, her indiffer- ence to the little obligations which compel less dainty and spirited creatures,—all act as chains and rivet his attachment to her. A few months later, when she has become his wife, and be is forced to look at her tempers and her caprices, at her fastidiousness and expen- sivencss, from an altered standpoiut, her whole character scoms to-be iluminated with new light. He no longer finds ber charming when she bas an incurable restlesness and inelan- choly; her pretty negations of the facts fife present to her begin toseem to him the product of a mind undiscipifned by any actual knowl- edge that she ig“ humav creature, subject to the same luws a3 other human creatures.” Ho has hitherto considered that her scorn for the common and usual indicated an appreciation of the rarest and*loftiest, but she seems tohave no appreciation for unything save enjoyment. She hus no idea of the true purposes of life; she likes everything dwarfed to suit her own stat- ure. Itis not by compliance that her h can give her more than temporary pleasure. If she wants to see Europe, Europe will not satisfy her. “Sense will support itself handsomely in most countrics,” says Carlyle, “on 18 pence a duy, but for fantasy planets and solar systems will not suilice.” L.

A Brief Review of the Mlalf-Year. Boston Advertiser, July 2. The close of the half-year is a suitable occa- sion for a brief review of the financial and commercial events, and for a forecastof what may be expected inthe near future. The year 1880 began during a period of remarkable and brilllant business activity and promise. During the six months that havesince elapsed the coun- try has passed through a season of sharp reac- tion in all departments of business; but the re- action now seems tohave spent itself, anda seasonof vigorous recovery bas setiv. Prices of goods, which were advancing in January ana continued to advance fora month or two after- ward, have hada rapid and prolonged . decline. Toastrong demand for consumption and by speculators succeeded an almost complete ces- sation of inquiries for and purchases of goods, with exceptions in favor of some classes of merchandise of steady consumption. The stock market, which is usually an excellent indicator of the condition of gencral business, proved to beso in this ease. A sharp and cana faten decline took piace, nat only in the shares @hich have only a future and speculntive value. Ulit in the most solid investment securities below the grade of Government bonds, The money mar- kot has tluctuated wildly and widely. At the be- eglnning of the year it was working into a stato of comparative ease, and after a few. weeks wns extremely ensy. Then it suddenly grew tight, and for a short time the rate of interest was un- precedentedly hich. During the last two months money hus been growing more and more abun- dant, and can now be had at extremely low rates, Meanwhile the other conditions have been re- versing themselves. The stock market has grown active, and all securities are nguin ad- vaneing; the demand for goods has revived not a little, and the tendency of general prices is to harden, if not to advanco. The summer season is not favorable to very active trade, but there is now a promise of more thun usuul business duriug the warm weather, and of an early and profitable autumn. trade. Let us consider the conditions which determine generally the business situation. The crops bid fair to bo excellent, as good or better, on the whole, as last year. ‘Iney ure not beyond the reach of drought, or flood, or insect, but it would be borrowing needless trouble to count upon a disaster. Chexp food is thus assured. What the foreign market for our surplus produce may be cannot be known at present, but we may be sure that if the demand for food should be light, that for cotton will -bo, by that very circumstance, improved, Then we hive, in the returns of rail- rond earnings, 2 fine test of the ability of the people to consume goods; andan examinanon of these figures shows that never before was there so general prosperity as now prevails. ‘The de- mand forstaple manufactared goods is once more steadily good and improving. Ynere is nowhere a lack of employmeut for Jabor, and the rate of wages pald is a guarantee against want in any quarter, while ft also cuts off to a grent extent the necessity for a wrste of public money in relieving those who might, under other circumstances, haye been on the pauper roll. ‘The events of the Inst few weeks have reassured. those who feared a disturbance of our monetary machinery from a drain of gold to Europe. On the first of the present month, when exchango was advancing, and most of the floanciul prophets were Preparing the people for gold ex- ports, we gave rensons for believing that if any gold should he tnken from us tho amount would be very small. It 1s now almost certain that none will go, On the contrary, the price of exchange is at the present time in such a werk and de- clining state that ‘nobody will be surprised if moucy were to be sent tous within six weeks. Butatallevents we are safo froma drain of gold, large or small, and no enterprise need‘ be abandoned by reason of any apprehension of money stringency. re A STUDY IN FIRE-INSURANCE NECROLOGY. The New York Bulletin gives it readers the results of a somewhat enreful study which it bas made, with the assistance of the Insurance De- partments of the several States, into the mor- tality among fire-insurance companies. Glimpses of the ruin wrought among these companies are obtained ia the figures of the New York Depart- ment, which show that, of 107 New York fire companics active in 1865, forty-three have dis- ‘apbenred, and of thirty-cight othor companies organized in the interim twenty-one bare with- drawn; and in the figures of the Massachusetts Department, which show that only seventy-two companies remain of the 199 companies of alt kinds chartered in the State during the last hundred years. A more extended survey reveals asimilar condition of things. “Taking in only the brief perlod of ten years, the Bulletin made inquiries of the sevcral State Insurance Depart- mentsxs to the withdrawals from business of ; Jocal joint stock fire companies, tunl compantes, since ‘Jan. 1, 18’ obtained represent twenty-six St: that during ten yeurs the withdra x vals from business have reached the large nutaber of 300 companies, with resets aggregating about $87,- 000,000.

The withdrawal of most of the other companies is not to be explained by any exceptional disaster, but by the futile attempt to do business on xn unprofitable basis. Ono result of the long-continued business de- pression has been a large curtailment in the Rmount of insuranee curried. With this diminished volume of business the companies have had only three alternatives to choose from,—to reduce their expenses to accord with the reduced income, to raise the rates, or to. withdraw. To a certain extent an’ en- deayor 1 accomplish the first result has been mnde. Expenses huve been reduced, and some ot the ornumental accompaniments of the busi- ness have been dispensed with; but with the younger and weuker ' companies tho ‘expense account bas continued heavicr- than the income account could carry. Competition and an utter faiture to ar- rive atand maintain an agreement buve kept the companies from raising their rates; and the strife for such business as remuined has been so sharp that,with losses already cating {uto reserve funds, more business has been struggled for at rates so low us to insure fresh luss. Hence, one by one, the companies have withdrawn from their losing enterprise, making such arrange- ments as circumstances permitted, and their stockholders have added to their store of experi- ence at the cust of some shrinkage in their capital. The Bulltin uses its figures to point a moral against Micawberism in the insurance business,—the policy of taking the chances, trusting to luck, and boping that something ma; turn up to put the balance back on the right side of the account.

Lyman ‘Trambull, candidate for Governor of Hiinois, spoke ut the Democratic ratification mecting Inst Suturday night, and in the course of his reinarks stated“ that he would no more think of forgiving the Republican party for their treatment uf poor Horace Gree- ey than he would forgive the Jews for erucify- ing Christ.” What possible motive the honorn- bie gentieman could e had for dragging the Jews into this controversy we cannot divine, unless it was an inordinate desire on his part to pander to low and vulgur taste, in which be was must successful.

Glance at the Dramatic Prospects for Next Season. Expected Novelties in the Way of Stars and Combinations. Robert Collyer Gives Church-Go- ing People Advice. Local Events, Past and Prospective— Current Gossip. NEXT SEASON’S OUTLOOK. There seemsto be every indication that at Jeast tha opening of the dramatic season will be especially bright. Nearly 150 companies have been already organized, before September many more will bein the field, and the beginning of winter will find few men or women who can act atall outof employment. Now, nearly all the minor people are engaged; those who have won some professional value are holding off in the hope of receiving larger money than they can now obtain. There is plenty of small fish, but owing to the, absence of schools—stock companies—capable people are becoming scarcer and scarcer every year, and those who have had the educational advantages offered under the old system, and have profited by those advantages, fully understand this fact, and aro naturally anxious to take advantage of it. From these combinations, already fully organ- ized, our local managers have been enabled to ; select their attractions for the greater part of the coming season. und, from what we hear, the Strong and the weak troupes will be pretty even- ly distributed among the four leading houses on this side of the river. This, of course, will in- vitecompetitionand makethingslively. Among the novelties will be George Conquest atti his troupe, who are to England what the Ravels used to be to this country. Their en- tertainment is of the pantomime-vaude- ville character. Very likely we will have Charles Warner, the Coupcau of London, whose performance was allowed by French crit iesto be better than that by Gil Perez atthe Paris Ambigu. The much-talked-of. Bernhardt will also be here, but nothing like an authentic agunouncement regarding the engagement can be made until the arrival of Henry E. Abbey, who is expected in New York in a week or two. All the gossip concerning the engagement, the répertoire, etc., now flying about the country, is mere guesswork. Henry J. Jarrett will come with a European musical combination. He grandiloquently styles it “The American Pha- lanx.” He has also secured the right to produce thespectucle of “Cinderella,” which we will most ikely see before the season is out. The Soldene party will again be with us; and a new burlesque company, in which Marte Williams will be the particular luminary, will bo scen under the management of Latham. Among the new stars the most prominent will be Thomas W. Keene, who will bid ron popu favor in ‘ Othello,” “The Merchant of Verice,” “Hamlet,” “Julius Cesar,” “The Wife,” “Damon and Pythias,” and “Richard [11.” As we have already stated, his season will open at the Grand Opera-House (Hamlin’s) in this city, on Oct.4. Sol Smith Russell and Nat Goodwin will travel in new pleces, and Mrs. Scott-Siddons will once more be out with company as a dramatic star, while Miss Belgarde, Cavendish, Louise Pomeroy, Lotta, Maggie Mitchell, Januuschek, Fanay Davenport, Annie Pixley, Sothern, Florence, Robson and Crane (in something new), and, It is pals Modjeska, will be among the players at our jouses. i THEOLOGICAL LIBERALITY. The liberal clergyman, Robert Collyer, must have astonished some of his hearers by the fol- lowing refreshing and kindly specch, made upon the occasion of the admission of Miss Ada Monk into tellowship at the Unitarian Church of the Messiah in New York City: “Lam very glad that our dear sister has seen fit to unite with us to- day. She has always been a good woman, and hereafter the sphere of her usefulness will be greatly enlarzed. She is an actress [a slight but perceptible start of surprise on the part of the congregation and renewed looks of curiosity]; and asanactressIam gind she has come into ourehurch. Ihope hereafter that the barrier between church and theatre will be entircly broken down, and that actors and actresses may mingle with us, that we may lose our disduin for them, and ‘they, in turn, thelr disdain for us. Many of them doanoble work of good inthe high ideals and examples which they so grandly interpret. While living in Chica- go it was my pleasure to know intimately many players, and I held them in tho highest esteem as true men and women. I hope that we shalt all go to the theatre that the churches may be improved, and trust that those whose profession is the stage may be improved, for I am sure that mutual benetit is to be ob- tained fromsuch a course.” Robert Collyer’s sentiments will be frowaed upon bs those who havo not yet reached his polat of liverality, put those clergymen who, like the reverend gentle- man, havo attended tho theatre and have known “intimately many players,” will recognize the Justice and the sense of his remarks, LOCAL NOTEs.

Forthe coming week the Olympic Tmmannge- ment will present Miss Adz Gray, an emotional Actress tolerably well Known throughout the Northwest. Augustin Daly has reason to be satisfied with bis week's business at Hayerly’s. “ An Arabian Night" will receive its last presentation to-mor- row evening.

But how is anybody going to learn his trade when there ate no stock companies?” ‘How in. decd!” says the New York Post. “ Here isg brief and painfully suggestive commentary on the present condition and prospects of the drama.” An English actress, a Miss Agnes Leonard, has formed a company in New York for the produc. tion of her own play, entitled *- Woman's Faith,” in this country next season. She is said to be rich; she bas engaged Frank Weston as leading man, and she has deposited $10,000 as security for the payment of salaries. Let us trust that the title of the picce will not indicate sum and substance of the veature. The London Daily News says the Lord Cham- berlain has declined to license for representa- tion on the English stage “Le Mari de la Débutante,” by MM. Meilbac and Halévy; “Les Provinciales,” by MM. Najac and Moreau, and “Les Joerisses de Amour,” by M. Lambert Thiboust. They were to have been represented by the Palais Royal company during their forth- coming engagement at the London Gaiety. Agnes Robertson's (Mrs. Boucicault) season will begin at the Walnut Street Theatre, Phila- delphia, on Sept. 13. The company already en- gaged are: Florence May Noble, jeading lady; Susie Singer, soubret; Henry Daiton, leading man; Luke Martin, and Mr. Leason and wife. ‘The repertoire will embrace “ Arrah-na-Pogue,” “Andy Btake,” “Jessie Brown,” “Jennie Deans,” “Colleen Bawn,”’ and two new plays. In the Philadelphia Times an apparently honest and able eritic writes, after seeing Sarah Bern- hardt act.in London, that she “has a beautiful yoice, {sas graceful'a creature as ever walked the boards, and, so far as technical proficiency goes, is well equipped for no matter how exact- ing a task.” But he thinks it is absurd to com- pare her with Ristorl, and that to name her with Clara Morris, so faras the sacred fire 13 con- cerned, would be equally removed from jiistice. The inconsistency of the Lord Chamberlain of England, the dramatic censor, has often been curiously IHustrated. A license for production in London for the play of “Camille” has always been refused, and yet such pieces as * The Pink Dominoes" have flourisbed, and such places as Cremorne, the Oxford, the Canterbury, the Ar gyle Romes have existed. “Camille” was tabooed on the ground of its immorality, but an English author has bethought himseif to call the play “ Heartsense.” the censor passed it, and the play is now running with great success at the Court Theatre. ‘The Germania Theatre Assocfation {s the name of u New York corporation just organized, the object of which {s to construct a new and unique editice, combining within its walis a theatre, concert-rooim, summer-garden, restaurant, bill- iurd-rooms, aud stores.
