The Beauplan Opera Season at MeVicker’s. : Organization of the Troupe and Its Repertoire. An Interesting Recital by M. Boscowitz. A Very Loud Call for Theodore Thomas. THE OPERA, ‘The Beauplan opera-season commences at McVicker’s Theatre to-morrow evening, and willbe a novelty, inasmuch as it is the first time in our operatic history that a troupe made up entirely of French artists has given the heavy Italian operas here. The troupe, asis already known, vomes here from Cin- cinnati after along four months’ season in New Orleans, and is very thoroughly equip- ped in the way of chorus, ballet, and orchestra, as well as in the number of its soloists. These Jatter are as follows: Tenors, MM, Armandi, Garnier, Pellin, Escalo, Cor- riveau, Génin, Tournic; barytons, MM. Maugé, Uito; bassés, MM. Feitlinger, Mussy, Rossi, Delsart, Jourdan; sopranos, Mmes. Delprato, Lagye, DeVilleray, Fleury-Pilliard, Feitlinger, A. Jullien, £. Ambre; coutraitos, Mumes. de Méric, Courtade, Lablache. The orchestra numbers forty-five pieces, the chorus forty people, and a full corps de ballet also accompanies the troupe. The répertoire for the week is as follows: Monday, “Les liuguenots”; Tuesday, “La Juive”; Wednesday, “ Faust”: Thursday, “ Sida”; Friday, I] Trovatore” ; Saturday afternoon, “Traviata *; Saturday evening, ‘Robert le Diable,” Patrons should ‘specially bear int inind that, as these operas are given without cutting, performances will commence at hall past 7, instead of 8 o’cluck, THE BOSCOVITZ RECITAL. Mr. Buscovitz, the pianist, gives his first re- cital at Lyon & Healy's rooms on Wednes- day evening next, when the following pro- ram will performed; Op.

The Bach and Handel Society of the West Side are hard at work on the choruses for their first concert, and they feel confident of giving the musical public one of the best con- certs heard in Chicago this season, under their able conductor, Mr. J. Fuchs. “Judas Maccabrus” is renowned for its lamenta- ton choruses, the strong war choruses, and the triumphal songs of the Israelites. The Society takes the choicest of these, and by careful arrangement of the dramatic recita- tives and airs unites the whole su as to ap- pear a complete work, and so avoids the tire- Someness of too longa program. ‘The Soci- ety will be assisted by Mrs. Clara D. Stacy, Alessrs. C. Knorr and lividenheiner. ‘The second part of H. Berlioz’s * Holy Family,” the “Flight into Egypt,” for tenor solo, ales Tus. and orchestra, will be sung. Mrs. Stacy will sing the ‘‘Loreley,”” by Liszt, aud the orchestra will pinay an overture by Bach. A CALL FOR THOMAS. To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune. CaicaGo, Marck 19.—A call, not for Dr. Thoh- As, the ex-Methodist divine, but for Theodore Toomus, tue celebrated orchestral leader. Now is the opportune tine for Chicxzo to give the latter a prominent call, and secure, for a term of Years, the iavaluable musical talent and service Of the greatest orchestral conductor and disci- plinarian woom America bas ever produced. It 38 unnecessary to even remind the musical por- Hon of Chicazo what uu acquisition Theodore Thomus would be to any cultivated community —us his Very presence. wherever be may be, umounts to an inspiration und Kindles enthusi- asin in all the circles of art. His presence here for any considerable length of time would grent- ly reinforce the musical element, and _cuuso its influence to radiate all over the Northwest. Thomus is at present a musical orphin, New York, his foster-father, has given him the cold shoulder, and Cinciuuati, his stepmother, was so ungrateful’ as to’ almost turn’ this Prince of conductors rudely out of duo s, and now his eyes are wishtulty directed towards Chi- cago, ia hopes thut this most gencrous and cos- mopolitan of cities will adopt him and make her circle bis home for the residue of lite. ‘The opportunity to permanently secure tho grext musicinn is too suod to be neglected or Jost, and will not be, 1 hope, if pecuniary inauce- ments can secure that end, It would pay the Exposition managers well should they ‘vote Theodore ‘Thomas 2 ‘salary of $10,000 a year and un interest in the receipts from monthly goncerts gotten. up under their auspices, dui aperiod of five Wears. Thou- Sands of people would be attracted from ali por- tons of the lund to attend these concerts, und the profits of two would suflice to pay bis silary foru year. The Exposition Company, the leade ing hotels and railroad companies would alone find it for their interest to guarantee the salary ofsucbaman. But aside from these sources, there ure a dozen rich men—lovers af music and art—in oareity who might witn great propriety form a syndicate and pledge annually Buln suificient to provide Theodore Thowns with a salary adequate to his talent und service. Another advantage is not to be overlooked, in having Theodore Thomas fn Chicago, His abuli- ty a3 an orchestral discfplinarian and leader is Uuriviled. Established bere, be could give nis Ume to the founding of the first Orchestral In- stitute or College fur the instruction of bands hitnerto established in this country or Europe. The character of many, ff not most. of the brass bands of this country may be dudged by even the best which came to Chieugo during the lute Kaights Templur Conclave. ‘The proper tralne ing of bands is a department of iustrumenta- Udon too sadly neglected. With Thomas here, the bundmasters and leaders of the Northwest would have a competent and thorough fustruct- orto whom they mizbt come with great ndvan- tage and prodt. Let Mr. Thumas be invited to come bere us to his future home, und be pro- vided with funds ample not only for the pro- duction of converts on n large scale, but for the establishment in this great ‘centre ‘of an fnsti- tute whose instruction shail lead to better Orchestrits and better instrumentation in all our cities and Stutes. MOS, {Our correspondent very eloquently pleads his case, but as Mr. Thomas has already ma.e an offer to our orchestral players which they are likely to accept, as he will be here the larger part of the. summer for con- certs at the Exposition Building, and again in the spring fora great festival, it will be Seen that he gives usa generous portion of his time for a year to come. While Mr. Thomas would be a welcome acquisition to Chicago, it is questionable whether Chicago ii et ready fot him. His experiences here a Tew weeks ago were not very flatteri that direction.) ? ee TROUBLE IN THE CINCINNATI COL- LEGE. * . What is the matter with the Cin i Musica! College? It is becoming proilge ia resiznations. Only afew months ago Mrs. Kate Westendorf resigned her Dosition as teacher of elocution, ‘Then Miss Cranch, the well-known alto, followed suit, saying in’ ex- | planation: I have-resigned because T “Was not ‘fairly ‘ treated by “Mr. Geor; e Ward Nichols. When ‘Theodore Thomas was Director of the college 1 had from twenty to thirty pupils, I bave recently had only? eight, ‘The reason of this deficit Was plain. enough to me.

I have nat sent in my resignation, but it was an under- standing between the Collere Directors and’ myself that Thad withdrawn. I have been treated wrongfully by Mr. Nichols, who took articular care to send pupils who wished to Be instructed by me to other teachers,” etc, At this rate the college will soon beall schol- ars and no teachers, and Mr. Nichols “will have the whole institution to himself.

To the Editor of The Chtéago Tribune, Cutcaco, March 19.—During one of the Trish debates in the British Parliament re- cently, when the character and composition of the Land League, its principles and prac- tices, were being discussed, Mr. David Plun- kett, one of the Tory members for Dublin University, referred in scathing terms to the base ingratitude of Irish tenants generally, and of the tenants of one Irish Iandford in particular.. Ie endeavored to show how the McDonagh’s rent was raised from £4 5s, 8d. to £8 12s,, the valuation being £4 15s.- Timo- thy MeDonagh’s rent from £4 10s. was raised to £9 15s.. on a valuation of £4 15s, The Widow McDonagh’s old rént, £3 18s., was increased to £8, the valuation being £4 10s, Thotnas Keaveney, who used to pay £6 8s. 10d., was charged £18 12s, 2 year during the period of conacre and grazing, and readmit- ted at a rent of £17 10s.” Thus were the ten- ants punished for being industrious and fm- proving during the term of their leases. IMPROVING TENANTS PUNISHED. Says the commissioner: Nota shilling of the lundiord’s money had gone towards the reclamation of these wretched mountain tracts. ‘fhe whole Jabor and cost were the tenants’, and doubled rents were their re- ward. Not alone were they taxed on their improvements, but three of these men com- plain that in one case two and a halt acres, and in another case two acres, of the best -fand reclaimed by their own sweat and money were taken froin them in the reyal- uation and given to pets of the estate office, while their rents doubleg all the same on the diminished acreage remaining, E To show the proportion between Griffith’s valuation and the rental, the cominissioner prints tables of rental, ‘and yaluation for three townlands.

Now, as to the rules of the estate: Col. King-Harman preserves zame of all sorts as the Spple of his eye, and the small farmers stand helpless while thelr young oats and cabbages are eaten up by the hares, rabbits, and pheasants with which the whole mountain side is infested, and their dogs and eats are killed at. ‘their doors by the poison laid for the protection of those: interesting vermin. That system of. espionage which ‘has done more than ail the rest to make Irish landlordisin detested, and very often Irish tenants detestable,—the sys- tem under which theprice of every pig suld by a tenant, of every remittance received by hint from England or America, the quality of his food, the price of his clothes, the value of his ‘improvements, is minutely registered against him, and the tale-bearer rewarded,— has crept upon the estate with dts train of shabby vices—cringing and dissinulation on the part of one class of tenants, spying and inalign influence of the Land League had changed a simple, kindly peasantry into base ingrates; how a kindly, generous, con- siderate, soft-hearted, open-handed fandiord . had = been = rewarded for his many kindnesses to his tenantry by theirrefusal under Land League influence to pay their just debts,—exceedingly moderate rents, Had the Englist members not been the stolid Englishmen that they were, they would doubtless have been melted into tears by the eloquent presentation of the iilseries, pains, penalties, and sufferings which his un- grateful tenantry inflicted on him, according to the eloquent Mr. Plunkett, grandson of the Lrish orator and patriot. THE “GOOD” LANDLORD in question is Col. King-Harman, of Bayle, In the County of Roscommon, who sat in the last Parliament as the representative of Sligo County, but who, towards the close of his Parliamentary cayeor, “ratted” to the ‘Yories, on being ade a County Lord-Lieu- tenant. (There are always offices, titles, and dignities in. the gift of the British Minister to reward backsliding Irish repre- sentatives.) This Col. King-Harman has es: tates in Roscommon, Sligo, Queens County, and Longford. His annual rental is about $225,000. Thatisto say, $225,000 is drawn every year from the industry of the people that Col. King-Harman may live in ease and luxury, and support his dignity as Lord- Lieutenant of the County of Roscommon, in the Provinceof Connaught, and in what used covetousness on the partof another class. Now when ananimal is poisoned on the estate it is reported as +_AN AGRARLAN OUTRAGE, and Mr. Forster has made English members of Parliament believe that the Land League was responsible for the puisoning, and Ros- common has been proclaimed under the Cuercion act. Here are two eases in point: Mrs. Killalea,of Upper Deerpark, had only one cow, and has not had potatoes to eat eince last November, so that she will probably answer the description of **a poor womun.” Her ons cow wus poisoned with strychnine on the mount- ain. Sho borteif and ail her neighbors firmly believe that the poison which killed her cow Was laid for the protection of Col. King-Hur- man’s game from murauding dogs (great num- bers of whom. nave fallen victims to poison), ‘The authorities took the view that the death of ‘her cow must be an agrarian outrage (un ngra- rian outrage on the mistress of ten acres of mountain, rented at £5 15s. perannutn), and bade her proceed for the value of the cow us fora malicious injury before the Grand Jury. Now tuke “a poor mun."” If ever there was one with suifgring on his cheeks and despair in bis heart it was Thomes Mugrath, ag 1 found him buried in bis dismal enbin ut Shagoora, His rent was raised from £3 153. lud. to 26, the valuation being £3 15s, He paia just one gale of the increased rent; then sank inte arrears umounting now to five half years; his crop of potatoes is exhausted since November; he has been living since by ‘inding such remnnnt of his oat crop as Lol. <ing-Hurmun’s hares und rabbits did not de- vour; he bas no stock Icft, and is about us hope~ fess a being as darkens God's earth. Now, ‘Thomns Magrath stated that one of his pigs, too, died by poison, and many of his hens,—a matter which, in bis humbie economy, counts fora Rreat deal. PS These latter were reported as agrarian outrages, to be the Kingdom of [reland. Col. King- Harman thought, no doubt, and _ still thinks, that he isa most excellent landlord, that he confers a great favor on the people by being their Iandlord, by collecting from them $235, 000 every year. In the language: of “ Pina- fore.” “He himself has said it’ When Mr. Parnell came to this country _last year, he wrote to the New York Her- ald’ as a kindly, humane, excellent gentleman, favoring enforced’ emigration as the only remedy for Ireland's ills; he after- wards served as one of the Cominissioners for the Herald fund, and he is surprised, nay shocked, that these and other services should teet only ingratitude on the part of his tenantry who refuse to pay their full rent, and on the part of the electors of Sligo who unceremoniously “ bounced ? him from the representation of that constituency to make way for one of Mr. Parnell’s following. THE “GOOD” LANDLORD'S GRIEVANCES. ie was not slow to make the world know of his suiferings. He had a grievance, and was determined to ventilate it! Ie took up the case of his Roscommon tenantry, who re- fused to pay their full rents. He painted out that his rental on that estate was $13,500 less than the Gritliths valuation, his rental being only $105,000 per annum, while the valuation $8,500, that he was a most considerate resident landlord, a large empluyer of labor, fact, as we would say here, a sort of poor man’s friend.?* The Land-League people wereineredulous. | They did not believe Col. King-Harman’s story; they did not place full reliance on the statements of a nfin who could break his election pledges, and their leading organ, the Dublin Freemin’s Journal, sent down 2 special cominissioner made his report in due time, and it is now published in the form of a pamphict. It proves conclusively (1) that Col. King-Harman_ utterly misrepresented the true state of his retations with ‘his ten- ants, (2) That, far from beg a considerate landlord, he is a notorious rack-renter. (3) That the rules of his estate are such as would not fora day be submitted to by any People butimpoverished, rack-rented, broken- spirited trish tenants. (4) That he was the author of many of the so-called outrages on which, Mr. Forster based his demand for coeréfon, MISREPRESENTATION. The special comutissioner found the Ros- common property to consist of two great divisions, One of them ranges over miles of the most fertile plains in Connaught. The tenantry were in the old evil days extirpated from this rich inheritance, and’ driven. into the bogs and mountains. ‘It is parceled out ‘mong 2 few great graziers, The other di- sof the barren: and cheerless hills which rise behind the town of Boyle to the Curlew Mountains, Population in the rich plains there is afmost nove. A. swarm- ing population has got huddled together on the fittle plots “of mountain’ tillage. ‘The lands in the rich lowland plains are either in Col. IGng-Farman’s own’ hands— he has a magnificent demesne at Boyle—or in the hands of a few tenants whose fore- fathers obtained long leases when the Ki Hfarman’s of past xenerations—the whisky- drinking, the duel-tighting, the fox-hunting, the spendthrift—were» hard up, and sold out leases for long terms and ‘at nominal rents fora little cash in hand. The rental on these Jow pitins is almost nominal; one tenant, Judge Flanagan, himself a landlor pays three pepper-corns yearly for a tract o! over 1,000 acres, £ course the gallant Colonel of militia pays no rent to him- self for his Boyle estate, and yet.the poor tenants, the struggling, half-starved, ill- clad, ill-housed serfs on ‘the mountains’ pay Within 10 percent of the valuation of the whole property. Thus was King-Harman’s phil- anthropy and Kindness. exposed, and thus too did the special commissioner show that. there was no need for enforced emigration from King-Harman’s estate if he were the philanchropic person himself, and Mr. Plun- kett would have the world believe. Me might have permitted a migration from the: bleak mountain slopes of his Roscommon property to the fertile plains below: $ RACK-RENTING. And rack-rents have been put ‘on during the gallant Colonel's owmlandlordship. “ The townland of Western Cashel, farmed by. twelve tenants, was,” ‘Says the: ‘commis- sianer, “held unger a lease, which’ expired, vision cons in-I8t, quired to give up possession. - The place was then revalued, and. the »tenants * readunitted upon an increased rental. John M’Donagh, who was paying £7103, under the old lease, was obliged to pay £17-2s. 4d., the Poor-law valuation being £10, Patrick ‘Queenan used fo pay £458, dd. on a valuation of £4 153. He is now’ charged 48. 8s.. The rent of William ynch was raised from .£1 18s, 5d. to 1s.,-the valuation ing £2. The'rent of Martin McDonagh from £1 3s. 5d. was raised to £8, the Poor-law valuation beng £2 15s. William McDonagh Was charged an increased rent of £5 13s. on a valuation of £3 15s, James Keayeney’s old t was £4 4s, 10d.; his increased rent is ANOTHER RULE of the estate is that there can be no marriages Without the consent of the lundlord or agent. Brawny country youths, instead of addressing thomselves to the girls of ‘their hearts Itke men, must go on their knees to pup the question to theagent. Roger Killalea, of Tintagh, had the temerity, like the daring Paladin tho poor fellow is, totake a wife three yearsago without consult- ing * the office." and was chustised about the time of the birth of his first baby by having his rent raised from £7 10s. to £12 10s. ona valua- ton of £6 103. No wonder that against a class of land- lords of which Col. King-Harman is claimed to bea good specimen there isa wide-spread, deep-seated hatred in Ireland, and that coer- cion will not stitle the farmers’ outery against that class. The Land League has inspired these wretched people to speak out their wretchedness and to call on mankind to denounce the wrongs of which they are the yictims. It is well, too, that the Land League itself has had the wisdum to expose shams, scoundrels, and frauds of the King-Harman stripe, and that it has adopted the American, plau of educating the people by pamphlet lit- erature, Itis well that the vampire brood of territorial tyrants should have their villainies exposed to the world, that their apologists anid themselves should be shown to be either malicious hypocrites or mendacious libelers of the honestest portion of their uwn race.

Fanny Davenport's Mistake—Her En- ; gagement at Haverly’s, Scexing Events—The Danites, An Ara- bian Night, and a Black Boom: Miscellaneous Theatrical News— Domestic and Foreign. MISS FANNY DAVENPORT. From an artistic point of view Miss Daven- port’s engagement at Haverly’s has been almost a failure; from a financial point of view, it has been a success. The reason for her finaiicial success is due to the fact that she appeared in two parts recently played in this city by Bernhardt, and 2 curiosity was worked up to see how the American would compare syith the French woman; the reason for her artistic failure is due to the fact that In assuming these two rdles—Camille and GUberte—she attempted a line of character for which she is entirely unsuited, physically and mentally, and also owing to the wretched colpany surrounding her. Miss Day- enport. is -about as much out of place In Meithac and Halevy’s Githerte as Janauschek would be in the réle of Little Emily, Lotta in Lady Mucheth, or Aumie Pixley in the Scandinavian Brunhilde. Miss Davenport, we take it, is too sensible a won to be ignoront of this fact, and, be- lieving that she realizes this, we can only see as a motive for tacking Camille and Gilberte to her répertuire a lope of stirring up a fool- ish patriotic feeling among playgoers, and Profiting by the recent craze over the dis- tinguished Frenchwoman, With the aid of printer’s ink and a liberal outlay of money in photography, the skillful management have succeeded in doing this in somecities where Davenport and Bernhardt have ap- peared at the same time. Every playgoer of intelligence can see why the fair Fanny cannot realize the parts her manage- ment are trying to make conspicuous, and Wwe need not print truths that are perfectly plain. There are plenty of characters in the inodern drama for her to play, and to sne- -ceed in playing, without touching Margaret Gautier, Gilberte, or Pauline in * The Lady of Lyons.” She is still a good actress, and the opulence of her physical charms and the magnificence of her wardrobe wil! with the feueral public go a long way in atoning for her shortcomings in acting. In such char- acters as Funny Ten Eyck in “Divorce,” Mubel Renfrew in “Pique,” and the other heroines of the shoddy society of Augustin Daly’s dramas of “contemporaneous human interest,” she finds 2 congenial field, and also in strong character parts, such as Ruth Tredgett in Gilbert's “Charity”? and Nancy Sykes in “Oliver Twist,” she has shown fine ability. Miss Davenport’s stage expe- rience covers a numberof years, and she should have little difficulty now in selecting arépertoire to display her talents favorably. With the exception of Mr. Henry Lee, Miss Pierce, and Mr. George Morton, no inember of the company reflected credit on the perform- ance. Mr, Lee, when connected with the stock company in this city four years ago, played minor parts; since then he has de- veloped into a very acceptable lead- ing man. His Armand, Claude iMel- nott and particularly. his Sartorys in “Frou Frou,” would have enhanced the reputation of an older actor than Mr. Lee. Afr. Morton’s Beauseant was the best thing he did, and Miss Pierce distinguished herself as Louise in * Frou Frou.” This evening the engagement will termi- nate, Miss Davenport appearing as Leah.
