Kellogg in the “Traviata” was confirme and strengthened by her subsequent performances in “Linda de Chamouni” and “Martha,” and that her future efforts were looked forward to with much less anxiety than pleasure. In short, Mile. Kellogg dia quite enough duru the brief period of her stay at her Majesty's theathre to establish her claim to be acknowledged as an artist of no ordinary powers and of still less ordinary promise, Verdi’s new opera, “Giovanni d’Arco,” produced at the Theitre des Italiens, is in no sense a success. Great liberties have been taken with the legend of the Maid of Orleans. Joan is represented as in love with Charles VIL, and waging against her passions a fight tenfoid more desperate than that she maintains against the English, Her father is so disgusted with her unconcealed atfection for her royal suitor he plots to betray her into the hands of the English. ‘The author of this plot might be Voltaire redivivus, Joan's death occurs ina fight against the English, Crnde and unsatisfactory a3 is the plot, the music is not much better, It 18 brilliant in a few places, but ia noisy beyond Verdi's wont, and altogecier deficient in melody.

TS 1gRRSTING EXERCISES AT PUBLIC SCHOOL No. 37.— ‘There were unusually interesting exercises yesterday forenoon at public school No. 33, in Yorkville. What served to give the exercises this unwonted interest were the graduation of the highest class in the fe- male department, the retirement of Miss Harriet A. Duacan from the position as getecipal, which she has held for several years, the parting public pre- sentations made to her by the ward school officers and the varied speeches which the occasion called forth. The programme of preliminary exercises was quite lengthy, including singing in chorus, soles, duets and quartets, reading compositto recitations, calesthente exercises, distribution semi-annual certificates and presentation of cioictes to the graduating class. The pupils acquitted themselves most admirably, and the compositions, for purity and exeelience of style, are rarely equalled in schools of grade. The names of the juating class receiving diplomas are:—Ellen Buckman, Lizzie Gardner, Amelia J. Jordan, Harriet Longman, Isa- bella McCabe, Emily Crawford, Jessie L. Morgan, Mary E. Cook and Annie J.

They were on their way to King Wiiliam’: ‘own from Grahamstown, where, during the pl yous week, they had been playing in ‘The Colleen Bawa’'—Mrs. Cooper as Elly and Mr. Ray a4 Dannymen, having drawn great applause in the drowning scene.

ANEW SECRET ORGANIZATION—OATH BOUND LAWYERS, New YORK, April 22, 1808. To THE Epiron or THe HERALD i The noise which is now made concerning the Ku Klux Klan is undoubtedly greater thau any reason- able person would think such an insignificant thing could cause. AS @ secret society having a terri object in view, it may for 4 moment ex the and cause those to tremble who are conser having made themselves amenable to its dictates, But the Klan itself, with all its terror, becomes a mere shadow beside another organization now exist- in our midst and stretching throughout the whole North. It is increasing in strength from day to day, and although it is diferent in form from that in the South, its end and Gre are more deadly to the lib. erties of the country, It consists mostly of young law- yers and students and is oath bound, As it sees thc those who study law are most likely to control we poe ot the country bg nw) been seived upow yy some ambitious and ning persons as the proper instruments for bringing about a result for which all those who respect our constitution nay be big 4 un |. 1 do not know what the object is, but Lam aware of its existence from observations mace by parties who are cognizant of its \etal}s. sary carefully to balance himself to maintain the equipoise of the thing under him; “No mark, gentie- men—belonged to the Wandering Jew—contains im- portant relics—what is your bid, gentlemen?” “One shilling for No-mark,” as if the words had been the. name of somebody. “Two shillings for No-mark, who died and leit no sign.” “Three shillings for No- mark’s valise!? The bidders were in a jocular mood, and nobody could blame them for bidding (ocularty. “No-mark” was a@ suggestive phrase, hough in this case it obviously suggested something fanny. Who “No-mark” was, what his business had been, a daily journal of his doings and undoings— these were ibiy the contents of Mr. No-mark’s valise, for the valise was corpulent with something, and what should it be, unless valuable papers re- lating to the gentieman’s personal history? “No, 335," dingy “pair of saddiebags.”. *No-mark” again; itinerant doctor, perhaps, for there was a sort of smell of dried her aud & and ceas as the leprous sadidiebags were heid up. panacea-ped- ler, — possi but not even the panaceas of ‘the doctor proved any panacea for his impecuniosity, and he went off and left no sign but his saddiel | Which went off years after him for three shillings.

Thus went on the sale of lot after lot, not to be removed until Monday, and, therefore, not to opened for a day or two yet. What was in them must for the day remain a mystery—though ‘haps he who kept the key of the baggage room knew, but knew enough not to divulge; aud as the sale ended, it was easy to conjure in imagimation that motley crew with motley baggage wending out of that saine hall on Monday, each with the effects of another onder his arm. Jt was ersy, moreover, to imagine the open- ing: leprous coats long worn and odorous with staie perspiration ; leprous articles of toilet with mildew on them not to be erased with washing; strange, ghastly, leprous things, which it might be as danger- ous as disagreeable to ban effects, the owners of which perhaps mouldered fret, leaving their baggage to moulder after them or tell the story of thew personal higtory. EASTERN STAR HALL ASSOCIATION, The Orst annual reunion of this body, composed chiefly of members of Eastern Star Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons (No, 227), was held last evening at the hall, corner of Third avenue and Seventh street, The exercises consisted of singing, oratory and a ball, the last of which was enjoyed especially by the ladies, and especially those who belong to the (female) degree known as the Eastern Star , Which has been established for the purpose of giving wives, sisters, daughters and widows of Masona 4 status among the fraternity by which they can make them- selves Known as such. Previous to the concert an address of welcome was @elivered by Past Grand Master Holmes, which was followed by an ming ode and prayer the Rev. Samuel D. Burchard, D.

Anderson Mas! relit on (o the antiquity and bea ing that the former operatively commenced wi Adato, who had to build himself a habttation, and that the latter Was shown in ail its works, and espe- claily in its charity.
