SCHLEICHER. ———t Testimony for the Defence in the Naval Investigation. oe FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT. Wasnixeroy, Jan, 9, 1879. ME. SCHLEICHER, OF TEXAS, AY THE POINT OF DEATH—CAREER OF AN ABLE MAN. Mr. Schleicher, of Texas, who lies at the point of death to-night, will be aserious loss to the House, for he was one of its ablest members. He came here first as a member of the Forty-fourth Cén- «ress, utterly unknown, but very quickly at- tracted attention as a man of a singularly clear head and sound ideas on finance and other subjects, and though he was modest und unobtrusive in the House and had against him a somewhat unwieldy body, being next to Senator Davis, of Mlinois, the heaviest man in Congress, he rapidity gained respect and influence which placed him among the leading men‘ of the House and made his opinions valued by the best men of both ‘sides. ‘He was » German by birth, a university bred man, a civil engineer by profession and had been engayed.on several European railroads before he went to Texas in the ycar 1847, He lived many years on the Texan frontier, and represented the border district in Con- gress. THE ARMY BILL—OPPOSITION INCREASING. The Army bill will not pase, thongh some of the economic features of it may be embo:ied in a separ- ate measure and become a law in that shape. The more closely the bill is studied the more formidable tho opposition to it becomes. - SENATOR THURMAN'’S LETTER TO THE OHIO ‘ DEMOCRATS, * Senator Thurman's letter to the Ohio democrats was read with curiosity and interest here to-day. The comment on it was that it would scarcely have satisfied General Jackson, whose memory it extols, but without following-his example; and a prominent democrat remarked that instead of praising oltl Jack- son, Mr. Thurman would havedone better had he » urged the Ohio democrats, in Jackson's name, to re- turn to constitutional money. INTERSTATE COMMERCE. The Reagan bill to regulate interstate commerce * cannot pass the Senate without very important amendments necded to make it useful and harmless, It is generally acknowledged that tho bill as it , passed the House contains some very mischievous features. Petitions are coming here from different partsof the country for the passage of the bill in some shape. FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. ‘Wasnixcrox, Jan. 9, 1879.

To-day was the regular meeting day of the Senate Committee on Commerce, but at the appointed hour only three members of the committec were present, and after waiting some time they adjourned until next Thursday. It is said thet there is but little probability of the New York nominations being ‘acted upon by the committes for several weeks. THE SOLDIERS’ HOME AT BAMPTON.

Evans, Maish and McCook were appointed » sab-committee to proceed to Fortress Monroe to in- qwestigato the charges of maladministration of ‘tho affairs of the Soldiers’ Home at Hampton. _GENERAL WASHINGTON DESPATCHES. Waéurxotor, Dec, 9, 1879, THE NAVAL INVESTIGATION--TESTIMONY IN DE- FENCE OF EX-SECRETARY ROBESON AND HIS BUREAU CHIEFS. Mr. John T. Gause, of the Harlan Hollingsworth Shipbuilding Company, of Wilmington, Del., wea ‘ealled before the House Naval Committee this morn. at the inatance of ex-Secretary Robeson, Wis testimony was to the effect that the contract @ade with that company for the construction @f the new iron-clad Amphitrite, in part from the old material of the condemned vessel of the same name, was to the advantage of the government. By the terms of the contract the firm gave one pound of new fron for three pounds of scrap—a very advantageous errangement for the government, being far more than it would agree to ow, and doubie what the material would have bronght had the ship been sold at public saie, In the progress of the construction of the new ship there had been five -@ontracts, the first two dependent mainiy on the dis- ‘hether mate or female, with | command of the Nay: NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, JANUARY 10, 1 posal of the old material, the last three made cou- tingent upon an appropriation by Congress for the work. It was explicitly stated in these contracts that the government should not be held responsible unless an appropriation was made by Congress. Ex-Engineer Wood real a statement, quoting recor’s of the Bureau of Steam Engineering to show that Mr. King, ex-Chief of the Burean, bad recorded himself therein preeisely to the contrary of what he had testified before the committes as to the condition of the war boilers and the-kind of boilers and machinery that should be used, Mr. Wood was examined at considerable length in retation to the propriety of disposing of material not wanted in the navy, and confirmed the testimony of previous witnesses that it was more advantageous to ispose of it promptly than to allow it to depreciate in value arid deteriorate in quality by holding it. At three P, M. the committee adjourned until to- morrow at half-past ten A. M. FUNERAL OF. MR, HARTRINGE. CEREMONIES IN THE HALL OF REPRESENTA- TIVES —DISTINGUISHED OFFICIALS PRESENT, Wasutxros, Jan. 9, 1879, When the House met this morning the desk of the late Julian Hartridge, of Georgia, was heavily draped ig black and upon it was placed a handsome basket of flowers, * Mr. Cook, of Georgia, offered a resolution provid- ing that the funeral services of the late Julian Hart- ridge should be held in the hall of the House this afternoon at three o'clock, and inviting the Senate to be present during the ceremonies, ‘The resolution was unanimously adopted, and the Honse took ‘a recess until five minutes of three P. M FUNERAL CEREMONIES, ‘The galleries. were crowded when the House as- sembled after the recess. At thrve o'clock the Sen- ‘ators entered, preceded by the Vice President and the Secretary of the Senate, and took seats in the body of the ball. The Supreme Court next entered (all the Judges clad in their robes of office) and took seats provided for them in frout of the Speaker's desk, to the left. The President aud his Cabinet were next shored in, taking seats to the Tight of the Speaker's lewk. At twenty minutes past three tho Committee on Arrangements proceeded slowly down the main aigle, all predont standing reverentially. The body .of the lute Julian Hartridge, of Georgia, enclosed in a hand- some casket adorned with wreaths and crosses of flowers, was then carried in and placed on the cata- falque in frunt of the Speaker's desk, y RELIGIOUS SERVICES, Rev. W. H. Harrison, the chaplain of the House, offered prayer, invoking consolation for the family of the deccased, and praying that while men consid- ered the death of the deceased they should be im- pressed with the solemn truth that they were but mortal and would theutsetves be very soon passing away. Atter reading selections from the fifteenth chapter of the first epistie of St. Paul to the Corinthians, Mr. Harrison procs to make a short but soleran enlogy of the character, of the deceased. He eloquently appealed to his hearers to bear in mind the certainty of death; to remember that though a man might fill the highest niche in the temple of fame, he must in the end come down and inhabit the narrow house of clay. Kev. Byron Sunderiand, chaplain of the Senate, de- livered a prayer in a fecling manner, and, after benediction by Rev. Mr. Harrison, the lid of the coffin was removed and the mem- bers ached und took a last glance at PFO! the tecture of their late colleague. ‘The lid of the coffin was then screwed on, and the casket was borne out of the hall, followed by tho President and his Cabinet, the Supreme Court, the Senate and the Georgia delegation. The Speaker accompanied the funerdl cortéye to the depot, and on his return, at five minutes to five o'clock. the House adjourned. ‘Wasurxetoy, Jan. 9, 1879. Lieutenant H. E.

Rollins, of Tensas, testified that he is a democrat, but was a candidate on the inde- pendent ticket at the late election; he resides in the northern part of the parish; saw no outrages committed; saw a body of fifteen arthed men at the poll on election day under Handborora deputy sheriff; thinks intimida- tion frightened the negroes so much that they stayed away from the polls, and that if the negroes had voted they would have had a majority of 1,000; said at the close of the election he demanded a count of votes at pofl No. 1, But it was refused, and a band of armed men took the box to St. Joseph. QUARANTINE AT ST, JOSEPH. J. D. McGill was recalled, and testified concerning the quarantine at %. Joseph. The negroes thought the quarantine was established to keep them from holding their convention, but the witness did not think this was its purpose. Lucien Biand recalled. He testified that he signed a dommunicatiag requesting the deputy sheriff not to arrest Walker and other colored men oh the ground that they had not and would not excite a rising among the negroes. NEGROES st0T. J.B. Loscey, of Tensas, testified that he was one of the posse of Sheriff Register summoned to dis- perso negroes whom, it was rumored, were massing at Boss’ place for the purpore of attacking Water- ‘proof; Register had about forty armed men; on the why we heard that the negroes had massed and that firing had commenced, between thom and our advanced guard of two men; an order was then given to advance aud fire; the firing was down in the direction of where the negroes were supposed to be massed; the negroca were in their querters, and when we fired one volley they dispersed saw no firing by negroes, but understood they Lad fired befoac we savanced; two or thres negroos were wounded; don’t think any were killed: they were not fired at when they dispersed; only one volley was fired; the Boss place ia four miles irom Waterproof; the event oceurred three or rour days after the Fair- fax affair; none of the posse were hurt, DRIVEN FROM BOME. Frank Wateon (colors?) was the next witness. He lived eight miles from Waterproof, and wes told by a democratic triend that the place was getting too hot for him; that he had better clear out; he ran away, leaving ‘his partly gathered crop to take care of it: self; that-day there were fifty or sixty armed men from Onachita in Waterproof; saw them =. a fope areund a negro boy's neck ase he would not answer a question they asked him; took to the woods, being told that the crowd wanted him; there were four negroes in the woods, hiding; hid for nine days, then went to Plaqne- mines, Witness then sai ‘Don’t intend to go back, because I don't think it would be exactly safe; as I never did anything to be driven away for, I fecl, now that I have testified against them, it would be worse than before,” Mrs. Alice Blouat, of Natchitoches (colored), corro- borate’ tho etatemente of her husband, given on the first day,as to the attack on their house and the arrest of her husband by white porsons, INTIMIDATION, , Lafayette Harp (colored) of Caddo, testifigd to the general intimidation of the negroes in his wand. The witness said ho ran away from home. Vernon Moore, Muntoe Brown, John Blackman and Henry Williams, negroes, testified that on the day of the election there was & riot in Caledonia, Caddo parish. The riot commenced after the vot- ing «was over, and three negroca were killed. These witnesses were on the steamboat Danube when « party of men boarded her at Whitehall and took off two negroes. ‘Tho witnesses testified to the general intimidation of negroes in Caddo, ENRAGED HISTRIONS. There was as mad a oct of histrions as ever trod the boards in the Gaicty Theatro, in Hartem, the other night, when it was alleged that the manager hed flown with the holiday shekels and that the financial outlook was exceedingly depressing. For several weeks tho houses have been crowded, and the attacnés felt confident that their ealarios were secure, On Saturday they assembled in force and stalked into the greenroom, radiant with ploasing expectahcy. The manager was not there, but his representative was, and shade ‘of doubt impaired the confi: dence of t gathering. There was & new turn to affairs, however, when @ young mun appeared on th 10 and proceeded to read # note from Manager Prudy, which was by no means of a cheerful charac- «° tenor of it was that he was unavoidably ‘bsent, that the pleasure of meeting his attachés wos deniod him on that oceasion, and would be for some time to come, cial omberrassments, of ticipated. This announcement fell like a wet blanket on the waiting histrions. Some of them stormed, others threatened and more rushed wildly away in quest of sympathy and advice, Some of tho attechés are utterly ponniless end will be city of Seville, thrown by this untoward occurrence into absolute destitution. Yesterday a number of them met, and Harry Lindsey, who .was the leading comedian of the house was deputed to consult the poliee au- thorities about securing relrocs. He called at the Central Office last evening with that mottve, but was advised to resort to the courts. OBITUARY. JOAQUIN BALDOMERO ESPARTERO. Joaquin Baldomero Espartero, Duke de la Victoria, Marshal and at one time Regent of Spain, whose death is announced by « cable despatch from Madrid, was born on February 27, 1792, at Granatula, in the ancient Province of La Mancha, in a district included in the Province of Ciudad Real, according to the modern topography of Spain. His father was a car- riage maker, and Joaquin was one of nine children. He was a youth of delicate constitution,’ and was given for that reason an cducation adapted to pre- pare him tor some occupation less laborious than his father's He was taught Latin by a priest of his na- tive village, and in 1806 was sent to the neighborin city of Almagro, where he studied two years in the university which then existed there. “In 1808 he went to Andalusia with an elder brother, and there, in the entored the infantry regiment of Ciudad Real as a common soldier; but in the next year he was transferred to the battalion Sagrado of the University of Toledo, which was mostly mhde up of students from the city, Upon the invasion of Andainsia by the French the Central Junta took refuge in Cadiz, gnd the Sagrado battalion went with it. Soon after a military school was es- tablished in Cadiz, into which Espattero obtained admission, There ho studied engineering, fortifica- tion and the elements of military science generally, as tifen taught, In 181¢ he was appointed sub-lieu- tenant in the infantry regiment of the Province of Soria, and at the close of the war in the Peninsula remained-with his regiment in garrison at Madrid. In 1815 Spain was in. trouble with her provinges in South America, Revolution was well nigh generalized, and vigorous leaders, of whom Bolivar was the most famous, inspired the struggle for independence, An expedition to suppress in- surrection was sent from Spain under General Morillo, and the regiment of Extremadura, to which Espartero was attached, formed part of it. Espartero’s regiment arrived at Lima in September, 1815, He was a Captain at the end of his first cam- paign, arid received a battalion in 1817 as a reward for services in seventeen actions. He was mado a colonel in 1820 and a brigadier in 1822, and served as chief of the general staff. In 1824 he was sent home with despatches and made but a short stay. His yoyago, out dn bis return to South America was stormy and long, and while he was still sea Bolivar gained the victory of Ayacucho, December 9, 1824, by which an irretrievable loss was inflicted on the royalists. With a force of over 9,000 men they were totally routed by 5,000 Peruvians, and Laserna, the Viceroy and Spanish commander, was taken prisoner, On the next day the remainder ofthe Spanish army was surrendered, and Laserna signed a eaplisdnios: by whieh the Peruvians came into pos- session of all the Spanish posts and munitions of war. This batt!é practically secured the independ- . ence of the province, and the royalist generals sailed for Spain. Ignorant of all this, Edpartero landed at Quilea in May, 1625, and fell into the hands of the Peravians, by whom he was thrown into prison. He made his escape, however, and reached Spain at the end of November in the same year. It is said that he utilized various opportunities while in Peru to secure for himself 4 considerable fortune. He was stationed at Logrofio upon his return, and while there married the daughter of a rich citizen named Santa Cruz. Espartero declared in 1832, Salic law by Ferdinand in favor of the succes- sion of the Princess Isabella, and upon the death of the King, September 20, 1833, offer to march with his regiment against the provinces which had risen for Don Carlos. He was made commander of the Bere of Biscay and Heutenant general. In 1836 he eld the chief command, in the absence of Cordova, of the army destined to cover Madrid and save the city from an attempt of the Carlists to carry it by a coup de main. For this exploit ho was created General- in-Chiet of the Army of the North, Viceroy of Navarre and Captain General of the Basque Provinces. In 1837 he sat in the Constituent Cortes and contributed to the ot the Calatiava Miuistry. In 1837 he saved Madrid for a second time, drove Don Carlos and his forces across the Ebro, carried by storm the heights of Lucana and compelled the Carlists te raixe the siege of Bilbao. In recognition of these successes he was made Count of Lucan. He re- frained from pushing further at that time his opera- tions aguinst the enemy, apparently from a percep- tion of the imminent necessity of uring what he had glready gained. He himself to the labor of establivhing discipline in ‘the army, and to maintaining order in the distritts beb: for.this was compelled to resort to very | re InGaAs ures Sat pel and Miranda. For farthet ex- ploits against the Carliste in 1830 he received the title of Duke of Victory, and was made a grandee of Spain of the first class. He concluded with Maroto the con- vention: of Bergara, by which Don Carlos was com- pelled to leave Spai the only Carlist of note who then kept the ficld was Cabrera. Espartero was at that moment practically the domi- nent man of his conntry. Ifin the present political distraction of parties at Madrid with an active enemy in the North some capable soldier should appear wt the head of the Spanixh armies who should crush the Carlists in battle after battle and hunt them from. one hiding place to another till they became con- temptible fugitives: and if this man were known to hold rationally liberal principles, but to temper always his views of political needs by the dictates ot # sound patriotism, we can see how he must inevitably stand out as the foremost Spaniard of pon the abolition of the the time, And it was in analagous cireum- stances that the preeminence of Espartero was recognized. His whim was law if he chose to assert it. His aide de camp, Linage, had publicly insulted the Secretary of War, but for him the commander axked a general's commission. It was given, and Nervaez resigned. That trial of strength was one incident of a couflict between the Ministry and the liberals, of whom Espartero was s recognized head, Another incident wasa government measure for tho restriction of certain privileges en- joyed by municipalities. Upon the pessage of that Ineasure insurrections occurred everywhere, and the Ministry was driven from power. Fspartero had just given the finishing blow to Carlism by crushin, Cabrera, and the general acclaim called him to Madri as President of anew M nistry, and the Regent rec- ognized the necessity. ‘Expartero came to power as an upholder of tho constitution of 1837, Spanish politics were then ab- solutistas, moderados, progressistas and exaltados. ‘The moderados were conservatives, the progressistas liberal, the exaltados radicals, and the absolutistas were the reactionary believers in the absolute sov- erignty by divine right. Espartero was regarded as us 4 radical, but the radical or those days would be a reactionary in presence of the radical of our own and, in fact, the name which the party has ten- y maintained in Spain is now ri ined as gnation of a party.that lags so far behind the radicalisin ot to-day that it believes in a constitu- tional monarchy. Espertero was, therefore, in the front of the liberal movement, and Queen Christina, who had governed as nt for eight years, recog: nizing that # Minister forced upon» her by 3 political ‘movement. she. Bed.” vored thinly veiled «in to restrain was # dictator constitutional drapery, resigned and left the coun tty. Espartero was in the following year (1841) ap- pointed bo during the minority of the Queen. He governed for two years, and in that period get tho example—the first thet Spain kad seen for many o long year—of # sound, vigorons and honést aitinis- tration. Intrigue and insurrection were, however, constantly on foot; but with au equal hand the Re- gent repressed the extremities of radicaliem and tho endeavors of the partisans of Queen Christina, “But the opposition parties formed a coalition and de- manded in the Cortes .an anmesty for all political offences. Expartero obstinately and injudictously refused his aeseut, and the country rose against him, as two years before it had risen in his favor.” A provisional government, com- posed of Lopez, Labollera and Serrano, de- clured Expartero’ a traitor to his cquntry 02, deprived him of all Mis dignities; and Nar: head of the riucipal body of insurgents, mare ‘h he entered without resistance in July. ne Month Espartero enibarked for England. rot the same year the Cortez declared the Queen of age and a new ministry was formed, with Narvacz as President, and tor the succeeding years palace intrigue was more powertul than political rinciple in the determination of all points of policy. rtero.resided in London until December, is, when, in consequence of the accession to power of & progressista ministry, the decree which declared him ‘a traitor was repealed and he returned to Spain, He resumed his seat in the ‘Senate, but shortly after re- tired to his home at Logrofio aud lived in absolute retirement for six years. In 1454 another insurrection broke out—an expres- sion of the general discontent of the country at bad government and ening a expenditure of the ‘Treasury and other public tments. At length o crisis was reached, in 1853, when Espartero was dis- missed, and insurrections broke out in Madrid, Bar- celona and Saragossa, In these disturbances he took no part, and ‘} 1857, resigning his position ax Sena- tor, retired to he was recalled to Madrid'by Queen Isabella and in- trusted with the formation of a Cabinet. He was then oither unable or unwilling to unite the conflicting elements with which he hid to deal, After the revolu- tion of 1864, which ended in theexpulsion of Queen Isa- belle, General Expartero gave a hearty adhesion tothe provisional government of Spain, although he took no active part in the stirring events of the period. In month ot May, 1869, during the Cortes debate o subject of the propri of establishing the moharchieal form of gover vnt, ® member of the Legislature, Sefior Garido, suggested that Espartero should be chosen King of Spain. ‘The proposal was not favorably received by the Cortes, The republi- can sentiment prevailed. It was alleged that tho aged warrior felt wounded in his pride by the event-- some persons alleged that he wag vastly dis pointea—and since that moment been searely mentioned amid the Co gg op reports whic! have reached us from Madrid. In February, 1875, he wave in his adhesion to King Alfonso XIL and retired to his Lome at Lugrofio, in the north of Spain, AMUSEMENTS. i Plunket Tristano 7 i Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather last evening Booth’s Theatre well filled with a Trilliant and appreciative audience, a fact showing that when good opera is given and good artists ap- peat the public are always reidy to respond, ‘The attraction of the present occasion was twofold. First, not a little curiosity has been manifested concerning the newly annonnegd priya donna, Mile. Litta, and second, “Martha” is one of those popular operas that rarely feils to draw a throng of musical pedple, Many years have passed since Flotow sent forth this bundle of catching melodies, but in the meantime they haye been sung and played all over the civilized world. They are every day whistled by the street arabs, hummed at the club, pounded out of pianos, sounded on hurdy-gurdys lions of people without kn: aciously perpetuating ¢ developed without a suspicion of their the studio of the quiet compo: Nilsson, Albani, Titiens, Carl Fo: lini, and scorcs of other artists have take opera, and there is no reason to doubt that wheuever it ix ‘presented as excellently as last night it will continue to draw intelligent and admiring audiences, The besuty of “Martha” largely consists in the fact that it affords truly artistic ‘able work to every artist on and off the stage, from the humblest chorus singer aud orchestral member to the chief representatives of the plot. The burden of the opera last night rested on Mile, Litta, Miss Annie Louise Cary, Mr, Westberg and Mr. L. G. Gottschalk, and it is due to «tall of these artists to say that they invested it with an intercst that made it thoronghly weleome and left little room for criticism that is not, intended to be hypercriti Mins Litta, while nervous at the outset and ¢ xhibiting th want of stage training and the absenco of con- fidence that uttaches to long experience behind the footlights, nevertheless gives promise of a great future. She has a pure, fresh, limpid yojce, that goes as straight to the built’ an one of Judge Gildersle’ moor, If Gerster had recently, and if we were not familiar with the phenomenal notes of di Mfurska, Litta would unquestionably be the subject of superiative phrases in the way of praise. But she has no reason to fear for her future. She is modest, intelligent, will eventually learn to act as well as sing and will always find an American audience everywhere promptly ‘generous to recognize the true art ot which she is one of our _ native exponents. Her rendition of the “Lust Rose of Sumner” fully exhibited the fine qualities of her voice, the song calling ror an encore, but in all parts of the opera, whether in solo, duo or quartet, the rich, penetrating quiity of her notes was everywhere discornible and a subject of favora- dle comment. Miss Louise Cary as Nancy has sung in the part so many times that it is almost like xec- ‘ond nature to her, but she owes it to herself to be careful in her ‘acting and not allow her coquettishness to be overdone. There were tinivs last evening when her rollicking fun interfered with the enjoyment of the music aud made her more central figure than Miss Cary usually assumes to be, It is not necessary to add that she sang’ besutitully. Sho always does so. There are so many gems in “Martha” that it would require much space to give description but among the most attractive were the mi dira,” by Gotts- chalk; + “Il tuostral lonciar,” by Miss Cary; “M'appari .tutt’ amor,” by. Westberg, and ‘the quintet, “Ah! che a me perdoni.” Plinkett, as personated by Mr. Gottschalk, was a fairly acted character, but the artist has had many predecessors from whom he could advantageously take lessons, The voice of Mr. Westberg is thin, but pleasing.: He sings with ease, grace and correctness, and, in a light operas, is a desirable acquisition. ‘Audience ana artists before the close of the opera warmed tothe work aud the result was not a little genuine enthusisem, which found vent in frequent recalls. ‘Taken all in all, “Martha” was admirably presented, and Mr. Strakosch hus reason to congratu- late himselt.that he has uchieved another success. ‘Owing to the continued indisposition of Miss Kel- Jogg “Lucia” will be given this evening instcad of ‘Baio in Muschera.”” ‘The friends of the prima donna, however, need not feel alarmed, as she will probably be in condition to sing next week. 8 rifle balls at Creed- not preceded “her #0 to them all; “Chi nel "PARE THEATRE—‘‘ROBINSON CRUSOE.” There was a‘good house at this theatre last night, notwithstanding the storm and the uninviting state of the weather, to witness the burlesque of “Robinson Crusoe.” The piece 18 given with » good cast—the characters sustained by the male members of the company being quite as cepably played as those represented by females—eomething unusual in: burlesque presentations. Miss Marie Williams Played the title, rile, and gave it with that spirit a 0? mischievous jollity and fun which BA an audience. Her Tausbing duet with ¥ Mile. Hosean,as ‘Mr. Maflin) was heartily encored. Potiy Hopkins, 1ooked sweetly, dressed nicely and sang fairly well. Mr.~C. H. Drew, as Tim Cox, was exceedingly funny in make-up and also in this acting, and Mr. Gill, as hints gave as good ® representation of Friday as has yet ¥ beon witnessed on the burlesque stage. The singing, dancing, comic situations, scenery and the fun which strung itself out throughout the burlesque appeared to meet with the approval of the audience. One conld scarcely imagine we were in the middle of win- ter by a visit to the Park Theatre last-evening, as the costtimes suggested a tropical atmosphere. “'Robin- son Crusoe,” however, scored a success, and the cur- tain fell before a well pleased audience, MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC NOTES, “At Last”’ will be finally presented at Wallack’s to- morrow night, “Ours” will be reproduced on Mon- day.

Florence have met with an en- thusiastic reception at the California Theatre, San Francisco, and are playing “The Mighty Dollar” to crowded honses, ‘The second grand concert of the Staten Island Phil- harmonic Solviety will take place this evening at As- sociation Hall, West Brighton. Tho, soloists ere Messrs. Edouard Reményi, the eminent violin vir- tnoso, and Mr. Richard Hoffman, pianist. The pro- gramme embraces admirably chosen numbers from Mendelssohn, Ernst, Chopin, Schumann, Beethoven, Paganini and Boccherini.» The sextet of the society’ comprises Messrs. Richard Arnold, Eugene Weiner, Emil Gramm, Charles Werner, Julius Gantzberg and Wilhelm Lowack. ‘ Mile, Marguerite Seivi, whose wonderful tenor produced such an impression at the Steinway Hall concert on Tuesday evening, is the tenor of St. Mark's Church, This strange quality of voice devel- oped itaclf several years ago, and she now uses it with all the case and grace, if not the force, of » Brig- noli or a Campanini- She has appeared in ¢he prin- cipal Italian cities, sang in Paris with Nilsson and Albani, and in London, at St. James’ Hall, with Titions. Outside of ‘New York she has been heard in only two large American citics—Baltimore and Phila- delphia—but there is little doubt that whenever she chooncs to tread the public boards, either in opera or in concert, she will make # sensation.
