Patti ts coming to sing for Mapleson at the Academy. This is dead inst him. But there is something still_more uraging than this. It 1s the fact that the new opera house is building and wili be opened in 1888 This leads me to speak of the compact that 1s being formed by Mr. Gye of Covent Garden, and Mr. Mapleson. It seems to be a dort of Jumbo arrangement. A species of politician would gay it was a monopoly. 4t 1s destgned to combine the two organizations, (the Covent Garden organization and Her Maj- esty’s opera company,) and thereby gain a larger contro.

It 1s quite refreshing to hear of a new American opera that promises to rival im-interest some of the Egiish and French impoftations.

Having an eye to the money that will come to her he determined to marry her whileshe still believes. that she is only the lightkeeper’s daughter. To do this he forms a plan for earning her gratituie and placing her under obligations to hima. In a deserter, who 1s a villain of the deepest dye, he flnds an accomplice. The plot is to abduct ner and then rescue her. When the plan 1s to be car- Tied into execution the beroine 1s at the house of Paul Meridith, and when the accomplice goes on his errand he gets into the wrong room, and c rrles off Rose Meridith instead. ‘This {s the tirst complication. ‘The abductor takes the struggling Rose to “The Sea Gull’s Wing,” a tavern kept by the austere and querulous Widow Flint.

THEIR MANUFACTURE IN THIS CITY—THEIR USE FOR ORNAMENTAL PURPOSES IN BUILDING. Ornamental brick work in the construction of | Stamped, which » dwelling houses is one of the features in modern architecture, and so great has become the rage for it that the manufacturers have not been able to supply the demands. It has not been more than two years since moulded bricks were introduced into this city by the “Peerless” company of Phila- delphia, and at that time they were used quite sparingly. As the process of manufacturing has been Improved, and the varieties increased in number, ‘THE DEMAND has also increased until, in many !nstances, work on buildings has had to be discontinued until they could be manufactured. This state of things was taken advantage of two years ago by Mr. John E. Herrell, brick maker, who carries on business at. Buzzards’ point. He commenced inasmall way to supply this demand from hisown make, and finding the clay suitable, and the quality of the bricks as good as those brought from Philadelphia, he has enlarged his facilities for making them until he now claims that he makes a superior ar- cle, and as cheaply as those brought from other cities, Learning of this new industry a Stak man made acall at this place yesterday and founda large force of workmen engaged in brickmaking, one branch of the establishment being set apart for the moulded brick business, where skilled work- men are employed, with machinery for working the clay and moulding it. None but the finest terra-cotta clay is used, and has to be tempered to a particular consistency before it can be moulded by the machine into the forms required. The bricks are afterwards dressed and smoothed by hand before being laid out to dry. THE USES OF MOULDED BRICKS, ~ There are such a variety of forms and shapes, and so many delicate corners, that they have to be handled very carefully. At this establishment are made nearly a hundred different patterns, to sult all kinds of work. Moulded bricks are fast taking the places of wood and galvanized iron for cornice work. They not only possess many advantages over materials for this work, but are superior for outside ornamental panel or scroll work, belt courses, bead work, and angulars, as they aré inde structible by fire, are cheaper, a uniform color, and do not require paint or any attention after being built Into the walls. They are used in squares, circulars, volutes, and for flat or angular views, and are much used in combinations form- ing rosette or scroll work on gables, and when or- namentation {s desirable on towers and bay win- dows.

THE KENTUCKIANS SETTLE THEIR DIFFICULTY. The Blackburn-Willlams diMcuity 1s no doubt amicably, and according to the code, honorably seltled. Yesterday, when Representative Carlisle went tothe friends of Senator Williams he found that both had gone to North Carolina to attend tie Mecklenberg centennial. He told Blackburn he found nobody to consult, and that if he desired he could call upon Senator Willams. Mr. Black- burn then Went to the Senate, and had a conter- ence with the Senator in Ule democratte cloak room, when an understanding was reached.

At half-past two o'clock business in the House Was still at a standstill, ‘The democrats are firm in their determination to oppose the present con- 8\ leration of the Mackey-O’Connor election cases, and the republicans assert that the fssue hav- ing been made they will not yield until a quorum for business has been secured. Absentees on the T-publican side have been notified to return at ore to the city, and the republicans claim that by Monday they will have in attendance a quorum of their own party, and of greenbackers, who will vote with them, and that this case shall be dis. posed of before any other business is taken up.

The church property was then subdivided and placed upon the market upon 20-year leases, Mr. R. O. Holtzman was the first to embark, in a handsome improve- mept at the northeast corner of 10th and F, for office p Since then we learn that every lot has been leased and arrangements are being made to improve them all. On the south side the changes have been few, but the improvements are marked. Messrs. Milne & Proctor and Messrs. Hatch & Co., with their art treasures and antique hangings, give to that locality quite an artistic appearance. Coming westward, between 10th and 1ith, Mr. N. W.
