Pratt sends us the following statement concerning his new work: To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune. CHICAGO, Sept. 17.—In reply to the statement being generally circulated that my new opera, “Zenobdia.” would -be produced early this sea- son, permit me to say that the original intention of bringing out the work 1m concert, without action, costumes, or staze accessories, has been abandoned, there being un excellent reason for the postponement, as will be seen from the fol- jowing extract from a letter recently received from Miss Aanie Louise Cary, for whom the title-rdle was especially written. 1 am sure its unparalleled magnanimity will commend itself to the public and profession,and awaken feelings of esteem and regard for the great artist akin to weg that profoundly possess the heart of myself: : My DEAR MR, PRATT: I congratuinte you on your suevess weth Mr. Ditson, and am glad for him that be nas been kind to you. . . . I dun't see how “Zen- bbin cin be brought Out before another year, and then I will give my whole strength to it, I'm. afraid as much work as I can vet through with this season Is being inid out for me, but J will study the work with you next summer, and lend you my aid in every pos- ‘ible way gratis.’ With highest esteem, believe me, wost truly and sincerets Fours, : ‘Axsip Lovisr Cany. ‘The first sentence refers to the genérous offer of Uliver Ditson to puotish the opera, which will be done in time for the use of chorus and solo- ists in studying their parts. In accordance with Miss Cary’s wishes, the opera will be produced next scason, when Myron W. Whitney and Mile. Marie Litta, both of whom have seen their parts and indicated their willingness to do so, will as- sist in bringing it out by creating their respect- ive rdles, Respectfully yours, S.G. PRATT.

Afiss Anna Bock, the talented young pianiste, has accepted an engagement for the season in the Dengremont concerts to be siven throughout the principal cities of th nited States. ; Frav Sachse-Hofmeister will enter upon her engagement at the Berlin Opera next year under pleasant circumstances. Wagner Wwas so pleased with her impersonation of Sicglinde in the Nibelungen performances that he expressed the wish to have her study under his supervision the parts of Bisa, in “ Lohengrin,” Senta in “The Flying Duteh- man,? and other leading characters in bis works. She cordingly gone to Lay- reuth for the purpose. - - ; Pauline Lucca has_passed the snumer in Isehl and returus to Vienna uext month for the season at the Imperial Opera.” She in- tends to ereate three new. roles, in Les- che! new opera, ** The First Wrinkle? in Gluck’s * Iphigenia in Tauris,” and in the “Taming of the Shrew,” by Goetz, Merman Goet2’s posthumous opera, “ Fran- cesea da Rimini,” which was first performed in Mannheim in 1877, has just been brought outat Leipzig. In neither of these cases has it had the success of the same composer’s “Taming of the Shrew,” which ts so popular in England ana has lately been revived in Berlin. Number 4 of Goklstein’s AMusilwelt con- tains a review of some poems of Hans Merri and Fel: Dahn, constructed atter the models of Wagner’s poems, to serveas texts for operas. One of these, * Harold der Wiking,” has already been set to music and aceepted for performance this season at the Leipzig Stadt Theatre. “Patience” will be given in the New York Standard Theatre by D’Oyly Carte’s. opera troupe on the 2d inst. ‘The company will include W. ‘f.

The rehearsals will begin July 2, partly at the Villa Wahn- fried, partly at the theatre. Itis now prac- tically settled that the part of Kundry shall be intrusted to Friiulein Marianne Brandt. The New York Tribune says: “ We noticed some time ago an admirable setting by Mr. Dudley Buck, for male chorus and tenor solo, of “ The Nun of Nidaros,” from Long- fellow’s “Saga of King Olaf.” The same composer has .now published, through Schirmer, a companion-piece from the same poem, arranged for male chorus and baritone and tenor solos, with accompaniment of piano obbligato, and reed organ and string quintet ad libitum. . The passage chosen for illustration in this instance is “ King Olat’s Christmas,” a striking and forcible number ich appears to have inspired the musician th correspondingly vigorous ideas. The principal theme is very effectively delivered at the outset in canon form, and -returns in the same mode of treatment at the clase, and. the work is distinguished by a happy combination of unity of sentiment with animation of movement and variety. of dramatic expression. ‘The mel~y is elegant and fluent; the instrumental parts are full of character and suggestion; Mr. Buck is‘an accomplished master of the art of writing for the voice; and we are inclined to believe that “King Olaf ’s Christmas ” will even sur- pass the popularity of its predecessor.” AN EXCITING MELODRAMA, But the Hero Had to Rescue Uimself After the Most Dreadful Sufferings. = Cincinnati Enquirer. ‘The fifth act was lively. The stage showed the interior of. a barn. There were two apartments on the lower floor, and a hay loft above. ‘The hero came into one room, drank out of a bottle, and had delirium tremens. ‘The actor suffered dreadfully. Ile saw hide- ous beasts, he wrestled with himself in the straw, he described 2 cemetery of open graves, he told about his supposed dead laughter, and altogether he made it as un- pleasant as possible for himself and the au- dience. _ E “Merciful heavens!” he cried, when the paroxysm was over, and he fell asleep. Then the wife dashed into the other room with the daughter. She expressed emotion as the freezing, hungry, despairing mother by dashing to and fro, flinging her arms wildly about, and rattling in the. cireum- scribed space like a pen in apod. At Jenzth she took the little irl up a ladder to the loft to get warm in the hay, and was down again ina jiffy. As an.acrobatic performance it had merit. “ Merciful heavens!” she cried, and darted out into the storm to search for her husband, Then came a prayer by the little girl. There was the child praying above, uncon- scious of the besotted parent wallowing in the straw below, The hero awoke in mental and physical torture. . We wished to die. Merciful heavens!” he cried. : lis eyes fell.ona halter. He would hang himself. He tied the rope round a beam overhead, climbed on amanger, and adjusted. anoose. The horrified child implored him to stop, but he thought her voice was imag- inary, and did not heed it. He leaped from the manger, the noose seemed to tighten round his neck, he wade wry faces indica- tive of strangulation, and stifled exclamations by women in the auditorium denoted that they were thrilled. The child made an outery and racket, and atiength found an which had been feft in the loft to chop hay. She ought to have used it to cut the rope. and thus rescue her father. She hacked away vigorously, but without severing a strand. ‘The hang- ing hero made fresh - grimace: drew up his legs, straightened m out, quivered, and did all he could think of to fill out the time. But still theax didn’t ent. Lheard excited words from the author, as he suffered inthe prompter’s corner. ent ually the actor reached up and deliberately untied himself; and a roar of laughter by the audience drowned the voices of the chirac- ters as they crowded into the stable to close the play. 4 iE re GUILTY ( Inscribed to the Rev.

STELLA Brewer, ————— A Railway in the Himalayas, London, News. Tn his inaugural speech upon the occasion of the Fecent opening of the Darjceling Tramway, or “Himayulan Railway,” as Anglo-Indians prefer to call it, Sir Ashley Eden claimed for the enterprise the merit of having ‘solved problems never before solved inthe history of railway undertakings. ’* a “We know,’ he added, ‘tof no other linc which ascends 7,400 feet in fifty miles, mounts gradients of one in twenty-one, and comes round curves of seventy feet radius.” ‘The line 4s described as presenting to the eye the ap- pearance of “a snake. winding up into the clouds.” ¥ ‘The tramway, which is py es long, enables the journey from Calcutta (331 miles) to be per- formed in about twenty-four hours. Its tér- minus at Darjecling is 7,690 feet above the level of the sex. The capital of the Darjecling ‘Tramway Company is stated to have been raised entirely in India.

How’a Chicago-Cured Ham Struck a New York Party\’ ; Spectal Correspondence of ‘The Chicago Tribune, New York, Sept..15.—It is striking 1 on the Bowery, anda dark and rainy night. The naphtha lamps flare smokily over the sleepy venders. of oysters and fruit, and a few hoarse cries come from an obscure cor- ner where a party of negroes sit round a hot- corn boiler at the juncture ofthe Bowery and Chatham Square. ‘The elevated trains go swishing through the air enveloped ina mist of heat, and fog, and rain, through which their lights shine out unexpectedly, itis altogether an uneanny night, and as I turn off down Chatham Square it seems as if ‘leaving the naphtha lamps was leaving a friend. Down this avenue a few rods one comes to a dirty, obscure alley “called Mott street, given over to the lowest inhabitants of this great city. Awful crimes and great criminals have had their birth in this crooked, wretch- ed passage, and of Jate years it has become the favorit haunt of thousands of Chinamen. The miserable, tumble-down houses are closed at this hour; but oceasionally from a blind alley or slinking from a partly opened door some mysterious person is seen for an instant, and then vanishes in the darkness and the fog. Abont half-2 block down I pause before a dismal little ramshackle tene- ent whose broad cellar-door dewn.a dozen trembling steps is made of fough oaken bars through which comes a faint—a very famt— ray of light. ‘There's a knock; and thon, silence; a sec- ond knock, and a third; the ray of light « appears at the first knoek,: but at the third, from the darkness behind the bars, I heara thick voice asking, “Who there?” and make an answer according to my instructions. It is satisfactory; the door opens, and I grope down to the side of Sing Sah, as re- pulsive a Celestial as ever had his eyes put m on the bias. The cellar is far down, but the floor and the ceiling are not eight feet apart when yon get there. Jt is about fif- teen feet wide, and three times as deep. I find myself: standing in a close, small room, At the end is a low door on one side, and: a between a variety of paper spills and fantas- Under him is a small table. on which a dim oil-lamp stands, affording all the light I have seen since the oaken door was securely barred behind'me.

Several large reddish blotches suggest that in the room above there may pe some sanguinary transaction. that is leaking out. There is nota window nor an air-hole in this squalid little den, but builded about three sides of it is a platfomn raised from the dark and damp floor about three feet. This platform is covered with straw matting and furnished with odd little stools, narrow, not more than a foot long and about a foot high, with a pad upon the top. m Lying about on this Platform, as my eyes become used to the obscurity of the place, I count tyurteen figures—they are all. drawn up, lying on their sides with one of the little stools under their left ears. Each person has in front of him asmall tray on: which is a glass saucer with a sponge, 2 queer little oil lamp that has a glass petticoat coming up about the neck of the weak flame ‘and caus- ing it to burn steadily, aud a tiny clamshell in which is about a teaspoonful of some- thing like thick and black molasses. ‘The yellow streak of light falls upon the fourteen faces, andI feela sickening’ chill creep up my spinal column and stir the very hair on my head, as Lam initiated into the inysteries and miseries of an “ opium joint.” Buti betray no disgust, though the heat is stifling and the air reeking with the fumes of opiuin and the vile odors of the place. Do you suppose I wasin the presence of fourteen heathen Chinee of whom such brutishness might be expected? No; there are but two Celestials in the-crowd; the other twelve are Americans; three of them belong to the theatrical profession, and, Heaven save my sex! two of them are women. One isa wealthy woman, owning her own house on Forty-second street, who had been smoking steadily since 3 o’clock in the after- noon—the other ayoung and pretty creat- ure of five-and-twenty, whose husband is the clerk of a hotel at Coney -Island, and who, coming to town at night and missing her at her boarding-house, goes as a matter of course down to Sing Sah’s and. waits till she dresses to go home. Dresses? Yes; forallshe has on as she lies there is an under petticot, an unbut- toned dressing sacque, and her stockings. auutaloons, and socks. The young man who piloted me to this place is a well-known actor and an habitué of the “joint? Le is known in the parlance of the smokers as an “opium fiend ?’—~oue given over to- its. use. We calls to Sing Sah in the subdued tone peculiar to the inmates of this den to bring him “four bits dope.” The Chinaman appears under the ray of a curtain with a tray and kit such as the other fourteen have, and my escort pulls off ‘coat, vest, collar, and shirt, and deposits them on another row of bunks at the end’ of the room, kicks off his shoes, throws himself on the matting, and begins to “cook” his opium. He takes a large pipe, two feet Jong, which has a mouth an Ineh or more in diam-, eter; near the centre is a large circular piece of reddish clay, the surface nicely polished, and a small hole in the middle. Mr. Actor takes a‘ sort of long steel knitting-needie, dexterously flips up a portion of the molasses- like opium, and holds it over the little flame ofthe lamp. It bubbles and cooks, and, just as it is ready to drop, he twirls it. round.into a mass again, and repeats this cooking process again and again. He then danbs it over the opening in the clay of the pipe, and with the needle tucks as much of it as he ean. into the hole. This operation is repeated several times, and finally he builds up a mass over the hole as bigas-a_ pea, thrusts the needle into it, and makes an air hole into the pipe. ‘Then he composes himself on_ his side like his companions, steadies the raised clay bow! so the flame strikes the opium, and when the-stuff begins to boil up he says, “ Jere goes for the long draw,” and begins to pull with one long inspiration on the broad open end of the pipe. ji It’s an awful draw, and when he withdraws his lips acloud of smoke obscures his face and the surroundings, 2 Isit quietly by and watch. There is per- fect silence in the place. My escort occa- sionally breaks-the silence with some ques- tion. Of one man he asks: “How long have you been here?” “ Since 7.27 ‘ ‘ . “Flas Ira been here to-night?” i “Yes, he left at 12.7 & “How many pipes are you in, Matt 27 “This is my twentieth.” L noticed tue strange, sad tone of the man with partitions of dingy curtains each side. that form an alley, through which I pass. . tarnished gilded Josh sitting cross-legged- tic ornaments on a little shelf on the other.’ The men about her areall in undershirts,. addressed as Matt, and I go, over and sit.on the . platform: beside him.’ ‘f fined ha on. “nearer view-to be a sleuder young: fellow oF 25 perhaps; his cyes -are bloodshot anc glassy, and-there is a blue-white ring gnein cling fis -poor, tired looking mouth—alto- gether the face is one expression of suffer- ing.

Here he raised on his elbow, trimmed his pipe afresh, and ordered adollar’s worth of opium from the Chinese attendant, which he divided between “Matt” and himself. It was pitiful to see the cager look in the younger man’s eyes as he watched the division. ‘Then I went out to the entrance chamber and interviewed Sing Sah, who has beet thirty years in this country and speaks En- giish with great volubility.and_ indiseretion. fe was Indling ont the opium from a largish ehina jar, and Lasked “what such a quanti- ty was worth.” “Two hundied dolla.” > “And what will you get out of it selling it by the clam-shell 9” = “Blive hundled dolla.” “Pretty good profit?” - = “?Melican man makee alle same; me give pipe, good plice smloke, an take heap clare.

And sol go back to study the smokers. The Forty-second street woman is stretched out with her pipé clutched in her hand, and her face as rigid and set as if in a cataleptic fit, My_actor-escort has smoked himself into a beatific state- that frightens me. What if he should be unabie to sce me out of this place?

He says the active influence of the-drug is not felt in much less than two hours. Irefuse good naturedly, as I am desperately afraid of some of the smokers, and begin to™.think I’m ina pretty tight place. “Lean understand,” I tell him, “how in one’s own home, with pleasant surroundings und in perfect safety, this opiuw-smoking aay be very jolly.” “Oh,” he says, ‘one comes here for com- panionship.” “Doubtful companionship,” I reply as 1 point to acroton bug on his lout” a centipede vibrating on the nasty wall behind, and a loathsome Chinaman who has his awful head almost in the face of the pretty pink and while woman, “Well,” he says, “we likeit.

Of him he says: “HIe’s a heavy cotton operator and gues on feartul tears once in a while, and comes down here with thousands of dollars in his clothes and flies it right and left on wine.” “And you are never robbed ?”” “‘ Never: Sing Sah Jooks out well for us.” “And these women—isn’t there great danger for a woman in a place like this ?”? “Well,.no; 1 think not.

Just here the Forty-second street woman had aspasm of consciousness.

My head was dizzy from the fumes of the opium, and my stomach upset by various ap- palling odors; every nerve in my body thrilled with wondering, horror-stricken surprise at the depths to which men,and women of intelligence and position will sink themselves. _ There is: no jollity,,no pleasant conversa- tion; the few words spoken during the night in a.* joint” are in sad, low tones. I noticed that sadness in the voices of every one I heard. aud ; . The companion of the gambler, who was wider awake than the rest, was a well known young zetor, and my escort spoke with pride of acertain “ leading lady” here, celebrated for her. beauty and ability, who takes her smoke at Sing Sah’s joint” with him oc- casionally. 3 : ‘ «inother interesting’ smoker was a doctor, who makes the breaking of the morphia habit a. specialty. He: fitted up a “joint? on his premises up-town lately; but’I sup- pose it wasn’t nasty enough, for he goes -to Mott street for his owssmoke, and was lying there the night of my visit. . be A THEATRICAL SUCCESS AT LAST. An era of success was inaugurated last Monday night in. New York. That blessed Rip Van Winkle did Bob Acres in “The Rivals” at the Union Square. Mrs. Drew was excellentin Mrs. Maluprop, but could not obliterate the mémory of Mme. Ponisi. It was a guod play with the latest cast, and well played; but, when Charles and Rose Coghlan, Ponisi, and Jolin Gilbert presented it at Wallack’s, it was every bit as good, and no one thought of going off starring in it. Mr. Abbey. began his season at the Kk with. the ‘Voyage en Suisse,” which amounts to nothing at allas a play, but in- troduces to our b favorits—the Hanlon brothers. They were, when Thomas was alive, the best acrobats we ever had here; now,° beyond great agility, some daring leaps, and marvelous falls, they give no idea of their ability as gymnasts. Their first’ appearance ‘is on an omnibus drawn by one horse; the "bus is crowded in- side and out; the horse makes a flake in the centre of the staye, gets suddeniy loose, and exits, while at the same moment the luinber- ing vehicle tumbics over toward the audi- ence. Thus a vision of entangled passen- gers and the five JJanlons are sitting, still smoking placidly, in 2 row before the fout- lights,. and one of them quaintly reniarks, “We have arrived.” From this entrance the fun is. wild and riotous; the excessive neatness and dexteri- ty with which they do simple. things leds them acharm.- For instance, one is in a trunk, another searching for him; he throws open the lid with his head over it, and be- fore he brings his face front to look within the Hanlon inside nas launched into the air like an arrowand fallen like a snowflake on + the ground beside the trunk—only to gain his place idside it when the other man’s head. is for a moment turned. % A hundred such tricks enliven\and carry off work that would otherwise fall flat. The Hanlons, who were tittle boys when here before, are little young men now, and the young men of the olden time are as youthfulas ever. Poor ‘Tom, who was the oldest and best of the brothers on their first visit, met with so many accidents and was so severely injured that he went mad in a Western. town, was arrested aud locked ina cell of the jail, no one knowing who he was. In this cell a water-pipe ran throngh, anda nutona joint projected sev- eralinches from the floor. ‘Chey discovered the poor cre taking deadly flights through the air and striking his head every time on this murderous bit of iron. It took half a auzen men to overpower him; but too Jate. He died of his awful injuries just as they learned that their prisoner was the famous Tom Hanlon. E Ile it was who first did in this country the feat called a ‘leap for life’ On a trapeze at the highest altitude of Niblo’s. stage, he used to go through the usual performance and finish by a leap for a large rope held at the opposit side ot the stage by his brother William. One night my neck was aching from watching the aerial maneuvr ‘Tom stood upright on the trapeze—launched him- self off for the rove, his hands seeined almost to grasp it, when he went rushing past, and struck with a sickening thud on the stage. ‘The other brothers rushed on and bore him off, and there was an end of the Jeap for fife for several. weeks. . But he recovered, and one night up he went, amid tremendous cheers to his airy perch, and when he untied a dusty handkerchief which he had Knotted on the bar the night of the accident, the audience rose and nearly deafened him with their enthusiasm, ‘The whole family lived on Broome street then. ‘Chere was a father and mother, and the old lady used to ornament the neighbor- hood with colored tights she had forever out on the pulley lines. One daya high wind carried up a remarkably gay pair of tights and hitched them on the lines belong- ing to the second story. The boys were boys then, and playing in the yard. William was at home with a broken arm, but he promptly took his stand under the silken legs that were kicking the evening breeze. D on his shoulders went. Fred; Fred hauled up George; Georze grabbed the tiny one, the youngest of the family, and held him by the legs likea pairof tongs, while the child quietly detached ‘the tights, and the human column broke up and restored the property to Mrs. Hanlon, who seemed to think ita perfectly natural way to recoyer lost articles. ABOUT CHICAGO ITAMS. I think it due to Chicago to tell you an in- cident to the credit of its hams. A New York housekeeper was telling a gentleman of your city about the wonderiul Yorkshire hams she got from England by the Arizona. The gentleman defended a certain make of Illinois hams, of which he had the pick, and, to prove their goodness, when he reached Chicago he sent a2 box of them to New York to the lady. This week she had a dinner party, and a Yorkshire ham was to be the central figure of the-spread. This particular Yorkshire ham had arrived only a few days: previous; but by some mistake the foreigner was not cooked, but a Chicago ham was. e dit. ner party were loud in their praises, th AAncrieans present allowing that we did not have such hams in this country, and two English gentlemen taking on mighty airs, but modestly admitting that, for a Yorkshire’ han, this special one was more than ordi- ily good. he.lady, who had discovered the nativity of the ham atan early stage of the dinner, perinitted the admiring eaters to say all the good things they desired, and then she coolly told them their mistake. Iowever, no one withdrew a word of praise. but those two Englishmen will go back to London and. in- dorse the Chicago vigs with fervor and de- termination. I advise them, however, to keep out of Yorkshire as long as they re- member AL HF. THE CHURCHES. IVINE SERVICES WILL BE HELD today in the following churches: , MeETHODIsr. THE REV. A. GURNEY, D.
