Progress or THs Soura— ‘Oneerine Sicne.—Perhaps the best evidence ‘of the sure and rapid material progress of the Bouth may be found in the fact that the price of the bonds of the different Southern States is ‘steadily rising in Wall street. The directors vof our New York gavings banks, who are pro- verbially conservative, cautious and sagacious, ‘have lately bought largely these State bonds. +The Southern people themselves are alao adding ‘eonsiderably to their investments in these ‘bonds. Other cheering signs of the energy with which the recuperative powers of the *South are awakening may be found in the ygreat cotton crop, estimated at two hundred ‘million dollars; in the plentiful rice and ‘sugar crops; in the abundant production of -everything consumed by the Southern people at home; in the report that in many parts of ‘the South labor has become even cheaper than it used to be in the days of slavery; and, Jastly, in many indications that the political «pacification which must infallibly follow the inauguration of President Grant will open at the South an era of good feeling and of unpre- cedented prosperity. An Itt Winp, &o.—Some good seems likely to come to workingwomen through the folly of the printers. The men have quit work and the employers are putting women on at full wages, which they have not hitherto done. Evidently the printers are in danger. Their only chance is to marry the women, as this, no doubt, will make the latter subject to the rules of the Union. Dzap, No Dovst.—The men whose duty it is to clean the streets or to see that some- body else cleans them are evidently all de- dunct. Broadway is pretty well under the ‘public eye, and is therefore kept clear, but ‘there are miles of space in other streets that are never touched at all. Some sidewalks even have on them ice that has been there since Christmas. os ‘ MUSICAL REVIEW. Why 1s if that the publishers do not bring out ‘something new in regatd to tions from Itallan opera and the works of the Tepresentatives of ‘French music, Auber and Thomas? The “Mignon” and ‘Hamlet’ of the latter contain @ mine of musi- ,cal treasures, each gem of which is of greater value than all the works of optra boufe combined, The (Stern a Jour de Bonheur’ is second to nope of a jber’a earlier Works and is an established favorite 4n Paris. Yet. we hear nothing of those works in ithis city, because the publishers persist in placing {before ffitir ciistomers the inevitable Offenbach,to the ‘exctasion of real works of art. The stereotyped ex- ‘use that they have to adapt their wares to the demahds of tho market will not stand. ‘The publishers should remeniber that much depends on them for the formation of public taste in music, and that very often the selection of pieces for their ‘eustomers ws left to themselves. Teachers and con- Servatorics have also much to do with the matter, and can remedy the prevailing evil by combining ‘withthe publishers to elevate the tone of music in this city. ‘Phere is another class of people who might exert a beneficial influence, if they had the ‘will or capability to doso. Not having the latter ‘we can exouse their want of the former quality. We refer to the soi-disant musical critics of many of our city journals. Some of them, who may possess a slight Acquaintance, theoretically or practically, with music, vase their knowledge only for persoaal motives, entire- ay ignoring the claims of art; while others, who constt- tute the majority, have not the remotest idea about music and consequently make the journals with which they are connected the laughing stock of every epee.

MUSICAL AND THEATRICAL NOTES. “Only a woman’s hair,” wrote the caustic Dean Swiftupon the scrap of paper which wrapped a faded tress of Stella’s hair found in the private drawer of the savage old cynic after his death. The sentence Proves conclusively that the Dean of St. Patrick, although a great churchman, was no prophet; else had he looked forward to this smiling, balmy (so far) year of our Lord 1869 he would have seen that “only @ woman’s hair’? would pull the divine Shakspeare from his lofty pedestal, upset the sentimental drama, and act generally in the most iconoclastic manner. ‘The examination to be undergone in these refined days by fair aspirants for histriontc fame consists, first:— “How are your legs?” “Is your hair golden?” “Tlave you got any brains?’ The limbs, if not satisfactory, can be padded; the light hair is indispensable, and the brains are, as Mr. Dickens’ most popular and brainless of creations observed, “not of the slight- est consequence.” ‘The strength of the existing drama, like that of Sampson, lies in its hair. Let us devoutly pray for a Delilah, in whose seductive lap this blonde giant of burlesque may rest his frivolous flaxen head to awake shorn of his strength. Tosuch an extent jg this passion for yel- low tresses carried that even the nymphs of the bal- let, and Amazons, and fairies, and transformation angels are adorned with crowns of radiant golden tresses, at thirty-five dollars an ounce. It is perhaps an undentable truth that Miss Lydia ‘Thompson, whose fame has spread over the land with the blazing rush of a prairie fire, owes her lurid pre-eminence to the tawny splendor of her yellow locks. ‘Tradition has preserved sweet remem- brances of Miss Thompson when she floated over the London stage as “Little Bopeep” in the infancy of vurletta and Miss Thompson, records that her hair was dark by the grace of God and subsequently bleached through the subtle power of chemistry by the lovely Lydia. who, il all bright ti which never die, had resolved not only to be a thi of beauty but a joy forever. The golden gous. of Mi Markham’s silken tresses, which shed their sunniest radiance ‘on those who are fortunate enough to bask beneath their beams, are confessedly artificial, te radiantly beautiful. Miss Weber’s golden strands gleam and glitter as brightly as the yellow sunlight which fell on fair Bingen, and it shakes our fatth in the beauti- ful‘and the true to learn that the tangled loveliness of her silken treases in sweet disorder flowing is the result of a wig which is datiy set upon a block and washed, scraped, combed and cleaned into the charming counterfeit which for five merry months i aid dazed the overtaxed intellect of young New York. The gentle and sympathetic Miss Moore, who de- beer until recently the sorrows of Eliza in “After ark” with such touching tenderness chat the souls of her hearers rose to their eyes and dissolved in tears, was a natural blonde of fatrest hue divine. ‘The statuesque Miss Firmin, of Brougham’s theatre, has hair of tawny red, the color of bold Macgregor’s beard, Miss Rose the new chateiaine of Wooa'’s Castle of Curiosities, is also @ pewitohing blonde, but she laws of wholesome journalism forbid more than a mere mentton untii the iady has graced the stage with her personal presence. The wig- makers must be gratified to see how much superior as @ class they have wn to Shakspeare, Gsld- smith, Racine and , all by virtue of “only a woman's hair.” wee Brougham set the stiken sails and spread the sil- ver oars of his gilded galley on Monday night amid the enthusiastic plaudits of the most intellectual Egyptians. It has floated thus far down the theatri- cal Nile with uninterrupted tranquillity and success, [ts favorable progress, however, is due more the storm of personal pularity which swells Mr. Brougham’s silken sails than to the vigor and skill of the men and maidens with whom he has manned his silver oars. ‘To drop the Nilotic metaphor, which threatens to lead us a course as sinuous as the twist- ing of that white and — river, Mr. Brougham has developed into form and life a; and glorious conception. Growth and perfection will follow in due time. His idea was at re unsurpassable in beauty and tasteful construction, bgt eo by a hae lt which should do everything to illuminate and adorn the art which Brougham as truly rever- euces ag any man living and which shouid never do ansthing to degrade it. He has the theatre. It gleams and glitters like a solitaire diamond. Thalia herseif might rest forever within its enchanted walls and warble idyls—if idyls can be warbled—as tune- fully as though on her native meads. But the com- pany are not solitaire diamonds—that ts, not all of them. Miss EMe Germon is a gem in her way; of how many carats we dare not say. Her Captain Jinks is captivating and clever. She is pretty, piquant aud not too pert. We would like to say the same of the y lady who oe the part of Manahatta in the “Dramati view.”* She is a Titianesque young lady, with as much balmy assurance as an irish dier of fortune. Sne has a good figure, but it isa pity she doesn’t cut it on the stage. It {3 sald that a convict who has once worn the balt and chain never recovers fram the shuMling gait that orna- mental appendage gives him. So it is with the concert hall or ** around” step. There is a pe- culiar, impudent, presumptive assertion about it which seems to say, “Ladies and gentlemen, try to endure the redicaious exhibition of these guys wntlt my turn comes; I'll show you how the thing should ve done.” We do not khow that Miss Firmin was ever in @ concert hatl, but the airs and graces of those refined retreats hang as thick upon her as do biue beads on the bare bosom of an Indian belle, Mr. Brougham’s néw pieces are westhetical and excellent; but we doubt if their wsthetical quality isamerit with popular audiences. The judicious and cultivated few—a feeble, fragile class, hardly numerous enough to ful Mr. Brougham’s ifttle the- atre—will appreciate ail of the author’s fine dashes of humor and keen strokes of wit; but the “many- headed mongter”’ does not care to bother its royal brains with occult allusions to classics or subtie shafts of satire. Thus any man of genius may safely abuse the “mauy-headed.’’ Chastise a donkey and he calmly continues to chew the cud in cheerful contemplation, strike © sagacious horse who knows what you'reup to and he will tnevil kick you. Dr, Holmes, in his “antocrat of the Breakfast Table,” has the correct idea of public writing and speaking. He advises ail young lecturers to strike the average of their audiences. Don't pitch the Keynote of a lecture to strike a responsive chord in the breasts of a few self-absorbed Cy oe but mm for tho gallery.” We trust . Brougham, will well-meant advice in good part. He is too famous now to fear for hts literary fame. Let him link him- seif tnseparabiy to the “Emerald Ring’ in the great “Lottery of Life,” and he will find that Mediocrity and Money Bags—those bosom friends—are friends in need, although sometimes dali companions.
