‘to make efficient seamen ond officer. A | few months is sufficient to create the firs, but it takes years to obtain the second. Shilful labor and handicraft and a liberal ontlyy of capital can make any number of ships, but it is.only by years of experiencs, under a thorough system of education, that we: an obtain good seamen and efficient officers. The Navy Department should therefore give ita attention to the personnel of the service, and there is a great deal to be learned from the system adopted by the maritime powers of Hurope—a system not without ils faults, perhaps, because it originated in the days when civiligation was not as advanced as it is now, but still possessing the value of long tried - experiments and experience. We observe that there is an intention of sending the Assistant Secretary of the Navy, Mr. Fox, to Europe in a United States steamer, for the double purpose of presenting the Czar - of Russia the resolutions of congratulation on his recent escape from assassination, passed “by Congress, and to study the naval system of : foreign maritime nations. We should suppose that some of our superior navy officers, such as Admiral Farragut or Admiral Porter, would be the proper persons to undertake the duty of making an examination into the naval systems of France, England and Russia. Admiral Goldsborough is now in the Mediterranean with an American squadron, and he will be in the Baltic with his fleet during the present summer. Whatever investigations are to be made into the naval systems of Europe we should think might be better entrusted to him than to Mr. Fox, who, it appears, is about to proceed to Russia in a special war vessel now awaiting him at Halifax. We do not see the object ot Mr. Fox’s mmission in the light of a national benefit, however it my accord with the Assist- ant Secretary’s private views or ambition. On the contrary, we are inclined to think that the purpose designed, as far as any advantage to the navy is concerned, could be much better accomplished by Admirals Goldsborough, Far- ragut or Porter. Byivsisa At Tae Wroxa Exp.—We notice ‘py our Washington despatches that President Johnson 13 removing from office quite a large number of subordinate officials and contem- rplates the removal of a good many more. I! spresumable that the victims have made hemsélyes obnoxious by their radical tenden- cies, if not their violentopposition to the Presi- dent’s policy. But while it is decidedly com- smendable to remove this class of persons, the question agises whether the President is not beginning at the wrong end in decapitating the subordinate officeholders. He ought to com- menee with the men in high station who are manifestly hostile to his policy, some of whom sit almost daily in his councils, Tax Trovsie at THE Orgra.—We publish in another column a full account of the recent dif- ficulty between Head Centre Grau and Maretzck in regard to the ship and tree in “The African.” It is more than probable that this dispute will as effectually kill off Maretzek as the exposures of the Daly-Bateman case did the theatrical parties concerned, That case showed the pub- lic how sham reputations were manufactured. ‘This dispute exhibits the dodges of a sham operatic manager.

The Irrepressible African Turned Up Again. Maretzek Walks Off With a Ship and a Tree. Head Centre Grau Has Another Ship In His Valise. HIGH TIMES AND HIGH WORDS. ‘This Dstablishment Does Wot Ad- vertise in the Herald, &e, ae. &. In Paris the gossip, scandal and humors of the opera occupy no small share of public attention and no incon- siderable space in the public journals, In this city owr people are busied about other and graver affairs, and the BRewspapers are occupied with more important matters, and we can only talk and write about the opera now and then as a sort of dessert to the more substantial food for thought. Occasionally, however, an incident happens among the impressarii and musicians a0 deliciously droll that the whole town rings with it and laughs at it, Of this character is the present dispute between Head Cen- tre Grau and poor Maretzek. ‘WHO CONTROLS THE CATACOMBS? In spite of all the puffery of the Bohemians Maretzek ‘was obliged to bring his seasom to a ctose before the term for which he had rented the catacombs expired. This fact speaks londer than all the assertions of the oyster stew and lager beer critics as to the success of his season, When Head Centre Grau came to town with his famous troupe Maretzek had just ceased his per- formances, and as the catacombs were vacant Grau proposed to bring out his company there. Maretzek and his Bohemians had denounced and ridi- culed this troupe until they verily believed their own Stories about it, and openly predicted in their papers that it must be a failure, It soemed to Maretzek a pretty piece of strategy to give Grau rope enough to hang himself with. If Grau's company performed here and failed the Head Centre of the opera would be de- posed, like O'Mahony, and Maretzek would not only en- Joy the diccomfiture of his rival but would be left master of the situation, his own fiasco being forgotten in Grau’s fresher failure. Reasonivg in this way, Marotack detor- mined to tet Grau have the catacombs, He was further induced to this course by the rent which Grae would be obliged to pay him whether his artists tailed of not. THE BARGAIN ABOUT THR A¥BICAN. It is customary when ene manager lets « theatre to another to allow the occupant the use ef the scenery and properties necessary to the produetion of his pieces. Head Centre Grau expected this courtesy from Marotzek, but was disappointed. When he informed Maretzk that he intended to bring out The African, and asked for the uso of the propertics for the piece, Marotzok coully informed him that he could have them for $50 a mght. Grau stared, but acceded to this de- mand, Maretzek, however, was not content. He declared that if these properties were wanted the money for two nights must be paid In advance, At this mod st request Grau was still more astouishod; but finally he closed the bargain, agreeing to pay the money when he wanted the propertics, The fact is that both Graa and Maretzek are very deeply impressed with the truth of the Hezaup's criticism that The African is a carpenter's opera, and that the ship and the mancani!la tree are its principal attractions This is, of course, tho case when the opera is so badly sung as it was by Ma- retzek’s troupe; but these two managers did not distin- guish betweew good singing and bad, and as Marotzck thought the ship and tree indispensable he persisted in his rather extortionate demand, and as Grau was firmly con- vinced that the opera could not be sung unless the ship and treo Were on ‘he stage he saw no alternative but to yield and promise to pay whatever Maretzek required. Ibis ceértainly amusing to consider the very bewildered state of mind of these two managers upon this question of high art versus carpentry. MARRTZEK ALL SERENE. Having made this good bargain with Grav, and having instructed his Bohemians how to prepare w Jet Grau down gently, Maretzek retired to his retreat at Staten Island, smoked his pipe, drank his lager beor, and thanked Providence for delivering b's enemy into his bands, Grau's company appeared aud everything worked to Maretzok's satisfaction. The Bo- hemlans treated the troupe with indifferenc). Grau was not allowed to advertize in the Henato. The audiences were not large. The Head Centre was losing money every hight. Nothing could be more friendly than the relations between Maretzek and Grau at this stage of the game. The old adage that misery loves company was Rover better exemplified, Mareizek, as he looked over the thin houses, actually condescended to praise Grau's artists and to order bis Bohemians to say a good word or two for them. As the houges, in consequence of this praise, grew slimmer, Marotzek grew more friendiy.” Hé condoled with Grau in public and laughed at binf’ {ii private. The silence of the Hxmaup tickled him wonderfully. He smoked his pips and drank his Jager beer and chuckled at poor Grax's misfortunes and his own shrewdness, Whon Grau proposed to play The African Maretzek eagerly assented. That was fifty dol- fare a night more out of the Head Centre's pocket, The ‘winks and nods and smiles of the Bohemians were as Bumerous as the auditors at the Opera were few. The house was filled with suppressed laughter and with hhothing else, Maretzek was so happy that even the com Plimentary notices of Grau’s artists which crept into some of the papers did not distress bim. He knew that searcely anybody read those papers, and what did bo care po long as the people stayed away? THUNDER FROM A CLEAR SKY. One night Maretzek went down to Staten Island beaw- ing with joy, and dreamed of seeing the Head Centre old out by the Sheriff. But, like the Turk in Halleck’s “that bright dream was his last.’’ He woke to that the Hxrstp had closed the trap upon him and his Bohemians by publishing all the notices that Gran's troupe had received and comparing them with the attacks which these very Bohemians had written before ‘the troupe appeared here. He knew what an effect this ‘would have upon the public mind. Ho felt that Grau’s ‘success was now assured. When he came up to the city it was in @ sullen, dogged, desperate mood. whom he met in the street, on the boat, ia the om- Bibos, was en rowle to the Catacombs to secure seats for the opera, or reading and laughing over the Hrnatp's x pose of the Bohemian dodges. He had exulted over | Gran's failure; he was maddened by the thought of ‘They returned without Maretze%; Dut they had beon fortunate enough to cap ‘ite & Mr. Jool, who is Maretzek’s partner, double or ae Upen him Grau eagerly seized and declared his in, eation of pro- ducing The African, at the same time te. dering bim an order vpom the opera treasury for one hu. \dred dol- lars, as por agreement. With this order Jeol pwwled to Maretzek and roturmed with a receipt, Max mot ..or'ng any way to hold out longer, Upom second thou,‘lts, however, a way was discovered. Jool was sent back 0 Grau by Maretzek to demapd the cash for the order. Here was @ dilemma. In his ecstacy in the morning Grau had forgotten his pocketbook. The money received st the ticmet office had beon de- posited im the bank. About one hundred dol- lars in small change was in the drawer; but Grau knew that Maretaok would refuse to receive (vis om the ground that the ehange was not a legal ten- der for over five dotlars, Having checkmated Maretzek by paying Joel, Grau was now checkmated in his turn. But with that chivairy so remarkable in his nature he took the receipt from his pocket and returned it to Ma- retzek’s deputy, saying, “Here ts the reevipt. Keep it Ull Bpay you the money im the morming."’ Jee? took the receip# to Maretzek, who, with a sardonic smile, took the boat fow Staten Lsland, leaving socret orders with his employes. NO SHIP, NO TRER, NO AFRTCAN. On the evening of the next day The African wap to be perforrsed, and carly in the morning Head Centre Grau might have'been seen making his way to the catacombs with one hundred one dollar tills in a broww paper par- cel under hivarm. In vain he-hovered about the ticket office all the morning, rushing out into the street at in- tervals and gasing expectantly up and down, In'vain were all the ushers, sweepers, errand boys and! minor artists of the big barn sent to scour the vicimty forMaret- zeke or Joel. wero no tidings of the lost ones. At length Joet,.who seems to be particularly unfortunate as to his Kiting places, was recaptered by Grau’s myrmidons and brought before the Head Centre, Grau now felt that he was safe; but he was never more mistaken-inhis life. He had secured Joel, but he had not secured'the indispensadie ship and tree, Joel would not take thovone hundred det lars, He declared taat he had no authority to do se, that the money mast be paid to Maretzek. Where was Maretzck ? Joel politely replied’ Maretzek was at Staten Island, What time would he come up to the city? Joel didn’t know; but he ratiter thought that Maretzek intended to stay away all dag. Grau looked at his chronometer and: turned pale. Evidently thero was no time to go to Staten Island, get am order for the Properties and return in season for the eveni per- formance. Would not Joel take the money and the responsibility and deliver up the ship amd tree? Jool decidedly would not, Grau tried a littleargumont. It was of no use, Then adittle persuasion. Joel was inex- orable, Grau flew to the property man. The property man would like to oblige, but it was as mueb as his place was worth. Grau appealed to Kingsland. Kingsland said that itwas a hard case, but could.do nothing Grau, thus rebuffed upon ail sides, was with difficulty prevented from committing violence upow himself. He would not listen to the suggestion that perhaps an intel- ligent public might be satisfied with . goed sffiging and not miss the tree and the ship, Hb. tmsisted that without the ship amd the tree The African was nothing, and vowed that sooner than bo guilty of disap- pointing the public im this way he would commit the hari-kari, or happy despatch. The scene was most painful and affecting, The spectators were bathed in tears, Grau dejectad, despairing, incoasolable; Joel frightened, trembling but resolutely obeying his orders, Kingsland nervous, agitated but powerless; the uncer. Strappers awestrucls and tearful. If ever we have ana tive +chool of art this picture will be transferred to can. vas and become historical, GRAND FINALE—VIRTUK REWARDRD—MARETZEK ON A SOUR APPLY TRER. Tho shades of night wero falling fast as Ma- rotzek disembarked from. 4, Staten, Islasd boat and stole quietly up to the catacombs to gloat over the result of bis scheme to. annibilate the Head Centre, whoso successful troupe had annihilated him. All the livelang day he had been.at the island, smoking his pipe, drinking bis lager beer,and watching the arri vals from. New York, ready to akededdie into the woods ‘at the approach of any one.who. looked like a mesenger from Gram As he turned into, Fourteenth street ho was surprised to see the catacombs Lighted up. Then there was a performance going ont What had happened? Was it possible that Joe! had turned traitor? No; the thought was maddening, Grau must have changed tho bid) and offered some other ogera im place of The Afrioam Torn by these doubts Marotaek slunk about the building striving to catch some note of the music. Yes, tb was The African, beyond @ doubt, and the singing way superd, Had Jool——? Where. was Joel? Tn the dark- wess, at the rear of the Academy, Maretzek encanatered his familiar, also stening, also astonished, also. full of surmises, A whispered colloquy ensued, and. Staretzck was reassured, He determined to enter the euacom!s, hear Grau’s apology to the public for the absence of thy ship and tree, and join in the hisses and groans which were to damn Lis rival forever, As he enterod the door no Grau waa to be seen, Clearly he was behind the scenes endeavoring to compose a little apylo- getic spooch. Maretzek had only time to gather bis Bohemians around him and = inform them of the catastrophe which was to come, when, al! at once, he heard round after round of applause He rashed into the parquet and—could he bolleve his eyes" there was aship! Not his ship; bat a better owe, A sbip that looked real and bore its strange crew aplen- didly, Maretzek harried behind the staze and seized upon one of the carpenters, He saw the ship, but he wanted to know wBother Gran hal procured a tree, The carpenter informed bim that the tree wax all right Whore did it come from? Why, it was the tree aed in La Favorite, Maretzek staggered back, “That ix not a maneanilia tree. “No; bat we have pat some extra branches on it and it will do," Maretzek was done. He tried to rally his courage. He stood at the door with his hands in bie breeches pockets, ridienling everything and asserting that the tree was the ‘sour apple tree” upon which Jo® Davis has been #0 often bung—a joke carefully printed in one of Maretzek’s Bohomian papers the next day. But some body else was bung om the gour apple tree besides Jef Davis. Maretzek's pretence of iaughter was all forced, He had played a bold game and lost. His ship was av ‘utter wreck Compared to Grau's. He was fairly treed. HOW THE MIRACLE WAS RFVRCTRD- TO WAVE IN THE HOUSE. Let us return to the Head Centre, and-we stall wee by what means poor Maretzek’s plots were thus turned to his destruction, and how, instead of spoiling Grau's season, he only deprived bimeelf of the one hundred dollars which Grau was willing to pay him, The night is darkest fast before day. Joy and sorrow are twin sinters, At tho very moment that Grau was sunk in the deepest despair a ray of light dispersed the gloom. One of Gren's servants was this ray of light, Disturbing the ‘Tre hours flew quickly by, and stil there || aaggested that tho “Pavorita’’ tree would answor for the mancanitia, or maakiller, if a fow Saghs were added, and the suggestion was at once adopted.
