A Vacation after jThres Suc- cereive Summers in High« teen Mouths A Privato Reooption After the En tertainment. The second appearance of the Men- delasohn Quintette club of Boston, in this city, was made last evening at the opera house. The attendance was small, though perhaps as large as could have been expected, considering the untoward time of tho year and of tho city, to which, it was known, a large number of lovers of music had responded. Dospite theso facts, the truth is still evident the audi- enco was not in any de- greo suflicient to encourage the artists. Une year ago last spring the club appeared bofore an audience scarcely half the size of that one last evening on a dreary, night in the Academy of Music. The streets ran with mud, and tho number of people who hesitated braving the dangers of thorovghfare navigation did not hesi- tate in extenuation of their absence to frequently mako roference to that fact. 'I'hose who did attend tho con- cert, or at least them subscribed very liberally to something the writer printed on the morning after the performance, concerning the stays-at-home The eround was taken that, as the visits of organizations such as the Mendels- sohns must of necessity be at long in- many of casionally they attuck our pickets, but rotire direotly as we advance.

De- tails of business done wiil be ready for publication in a few days. The only matter of public interest is that Cali- fornia shippers are hereafter to be guaranteed the same rates to Idaho, tervals, our people were dcing but little to make them sufficiently en- couraging to warrant a continuance It may here be remarked that the visit of the club on this occasion was due to the accidental suggestion of one of its members. Just whon it will again favor us, even as the result of accident, it is not now possible to state. When it does, let it be hoped "I neither wind mor weather may be in antagonism to them, ®The company is now returning to ‘Boston after a trip to Australia. Its composition is the same as when it last played here. with the exception ot the vocalist, Miss Cora Miller be- ing substituted for Miss Niccolini, In this connection, it may be remarked that the organization has played dur- ing three summers, without experi- encing the pleasure of a single winter. Tt loft this country to strike summer in some other land; and in turn, left that at the commencement of winter to meet with summer in still another, The programme opened last night wish tho overture to *‘Raymond,” by Thomas,introducing the instrumental- 18ts of the club. The picce was played with that delightful finish, that stu- dious attention to the nice and min- ute features of the several parts, so characteristic of the club, and conduc- ing to a complete and most satisfac- tory perf rmance. The “‘Quintette in B flat,” Op. 87, adagio, by Mendelssohn, & passionate piece most exquisitely rendered, was characterized by several features of appealing interest. The fading of tl‘:u tones of the cello into those of the violin, tho life and feeling that were imparted them, and the general excellence of the number produced a most happy effect. The same may be said, porhaps in & lesser dogreo, of the best number of the programme, in which all the instrumentalists of the olub took part. On the programmo the piece was entitleda ‘' Kaleidoscope” of tavorite melodies; the piece, how- ever, was the “*Drinking Chorus,” bal- lad, and ‘‘La Siciliene,” from “Robert Le Diable,” by Meyerbeer. Miss Miller's firat pieco was a cava- tina from “*Travita,” by Vordi, instead of from the “‘Opera of Betty,” Her second number was Cowen'’s ‘It Was a Dream.” In response to the encore, she sang the *‘Pleasures of Life,” by Campana, Miss Miller's is not a re- markable voice. It is pure and liquid in many of its notes, of considerable strength, but of not exceeding range. It pleased without creating a very strong impression, The other soloists of the club are familiar to our people. Mr. Schade, the flutist was kindly welcomed and layed with former sweetness and griumw,c Mr. Thos. Ryan, the vet- eran manager of the club, and t whom its existence is largely due, rendered one of his own pieces on his favorite instrument, theclarionette, a “Funtasio on themes from ‘Le Postilion.’ " Added to a warm greet ing, Mr. Ryan was enthusiastically applauded, His playing was character- ized with his old time sweetness of tone, and artistic expression. The ‘‘Fantastic for the violin on chemes from ‘Faust,’ " by Wieniawski, introduced Mr. Schnitzler, in a most difficult and highly successful effort. He was generously encored as was also Mr, Giese, for his magpificent violoncello solo, ‘‘Fantastic on themes from ‘Daughter of the Regiment.’" Immediately preceding the latter 25, 1882 piece, thoolub introduced Boocherini's “Minuett,” A now familiar piece with our poople. It was intonsely enjoyed. The audience was agrecably enthu- slastic last night, and it is firmly be. lioved felt the appreciation to which they gave expreesion. It is but justice to say that the growing favor with which classic music moots is large- ly due to our own Philomatheaus, At the conclusion of the concert last night the old-timed generosity and hospitality of Mr, Julius Moyer was displayed. All the gontlomen of the club wero his guests for several hours, together with a number of the genial gontloman’s city frionds, Do lightful conversation, highly flavored with wit, heightened by Havanas, and attuned to the merry popping of corks and clicking of glasses, made the moments pass merrily and agree- ably to all, yet to none moro so than than the generous host, who delights in making his artistic frionds as happy as himself. the social attractions in a distant part | 4 i ST T “HERE'S LUCK!"

STAR ROUTE TRIAL, WasHiNGToN, August 24, —Merrick began his address to jury the to-day de- manding the conviction of Dorsey, Miner, Stephen Dorsey, Vail, Randall, and Thomas Brady. Mr. Merrick thon argued it was not necessary, as contended by the de- fense to show that a conspiracy exlsted during the time embraced in the in- dictment. If it were proven that theve had been a conspiracy before the 23d day of May, 1870, and there was fno explanation as to when it ceased to be a conspiracy, the minds of the jury could not be satisfied that it has not been continued as a con- spiracy down w that time. The prosecution had shown that a conspiracy existed in 1877 and 1878, and the presumption naturally arose that the conspiracy continued, The presumption was made conclusive when it was shown that subsequent to 1879 the conspira- tors were doing acts of mutual and parochial benefit. The couspirators’ purpose was thieving. They stole hnl?n million, eating like a canker into the heart of the country, Mr, a(m‘i:k t;“ofihld"l;”d the proposition that the filing of a pa; in an office of vhe government vm: the intent to deceive any gavmmnt the Ia officer was a crime under Court adjourned before Mr. Mer- rick concluded his address. —— The Board of Trade Excursion.

On Sunday last there was a grand jollification at Camp Canfield, on the line of the Omaha & St. Paul road, by the Winnebago Indians of that vicinity, who had just bean joined by a band of Winnebagos who had been up on a visit to Red Cloud Agency. The visitors and their hosts held what was called ‘“Brave Man’s Dance,” in which about sixty Indian braves in full war paint executed the highland fling or some other fling, to the great delight of the rest, of the tribe, about six hundred in all, The great feature of the festival was the presentation of gifts between the Indians, horses, blankets, guus, ete, being exchanged. The danca is fitly named Brave Man's dance as it requires more. bravery on the part of an Indian to give up any of his goods than to be burced at the stake, Mr, Geo.
