i me regular opera season will ha pnramonowl
on
next Monday evening at the Academy of MiihIc by tlio
M'l'euranee or the reorganized turnings comhina
'ion In Gounod's Fawt. With Mrs. Pernard and
Madame Parepn-Itosa both In the Held as active
Competitors, the English opera promlsps to as.oimia
prominence that it has never held before. If Engl'sh.
opera lsflrst class there Is no reason whv It should
not be as highly regarded as any other kind. Some
Of the most popular singers on the Italian stage arc
either Americun or llrltlsh bom, and making all due
allowances for the mora musical sound of the Italian
language, we clulru that It docs not matter the toss
,of a live cent piece whether the singers roll out
their musical numbers In Italian, French. German or
English so long as the music itself is good.
I While the Kngllsh opera managers appear to bo
making businesslike cll'crts to secure the favor of
the, public, we have nothing but the most Indefinite
Tumors about what is to be done In the way of
.Italian, German, or French opera. With one of the
largest ami most magnificent opera houses In the
hvorld, we have of late years had nothing from those
who proress to take the lead in this class of enter
tainments, but occasional brief seasons of a week
or two, the Academy for the rest of the time being
jrlvcn up to balls, lectures, acrobatic performances,
and shows of all kinds, l'ew and far between as
the operatic performances have been, they have not
always succeeded In attracting crowded houses,
although it Is safe to say that, they have generally
been patronized to the full extent
of their deserts. We have a large and
growing class of educated musicians
In this city, and the general musical culture of on
people is as high as in any other place in the coun-
I try. Concerts of all kind attract good aii'llence,
i and if opera does not always succeed, the fault
must rather lie with the managers and singers than
with the public. In a brief season of a fortnight
with a change of bill every evening, It is manifestly
impossible to give operatic performances with th;r
perfection that an educated nubile have a right to
expect. The popularity of a single singer is too
often relied upon to cover artistic defects of every
description, nnd, with a few honorable exceptions,
there lias scarcely been for years an attempt to pir
a grand opera upon the stage in reasonably good
style. The Academy of Music has a line stock
of scenery, and, with this provided for them,
the managers of the various troupes that appear
there seem to think that nothing is required of them
in the way of appointments and the various details
which arc required to make an operatic performance
a work of art. Besides, wc nre treated to the same
round of pieces Benson in aud season out, until the
public get tired of II Trnratnrr, Ernani, The Unite
mian Girl, and Croten Diamundx. There are a num
ber of superb works that are seldom or never giveu,
or If an attempt is made t produce them, it Is done
In such a burgling and Inartistic manner, that the
most discriminating opera goers wish that they had
been left alone. We cannot understand tnut there
is anv uood reason lor this. or tti.it
i a continued series of iirst-clusa operatic
3 itinrhilnmnnta vnlirlif (lnt lie rrlvi'll flf thn A f Mil li'lll '
of Music every season, to the prollt of the managers
anil the satisfaction of the public. The burlesque
French operas of Oil'enbach were produced in a
style that put to shame the usual manner or render
ing the standard works of the great masters of the
musical art, and the completeness of opera tunij'e
perform ances, at regards scenery, costumes, ap
pointments, chorus, aud orchestra, with the line
taste shown in all the details, contributed as much
to their success as did the bright, sparkling music or
Oil'enbach; and the same system of manage
ment ought to make grand opera oue of our regular
winter amusements, as much as the dramatic per
formances at the theatres are. As for opera oouff'e,
we have apparently seen the last of it, for the pre
sent at least, and yet it seems a pity that
stich a pleasant style of eutcrtulnment should be al
lowed to full into litter neglect. It is certain that
the great mass of the umuseinent-goers have a fancy
for something lighter aud more exhilarating titan the
ordinary operatic music, and opera bouffe would
seem exactly suited to ti 11 the vacancy that exists.
A theatre where pretty musical vaudevilles and
comic operas can be given that are too slight for so
large a house as the Academy would probably be a
success If it were managed with skill and discretion.
The performances of the Ualton Troupe suggested
the style of entertainment that Is desired, and it was
hoped that the popularity of Miss Susan (ialton
would induce her to make the needed improvements
in her company, and take possession of this new and
promising Held. Miss Galtou or her managers, how
ever, allowed the opportunity to slip by, but between
the opera boujfe and the performances at the Theatre
Continue the way was certainly pointed out, and it is
to be hoped some one will be shrewd enough to slep
in and win tame and fortune.
There have been some rumors that the success of
opera boui'e has induced the organization of a grand
opera troupe in Paris which proposes to show us
what French singers can do in the higher class of
musical compositions. The appearance of such a
troupe will be interesting as a novelty, and it ought
to have a stimulating eilect on the Italians and Ger
mans, exciting them to do better thau they have
been accustomed to do of late. Ttiero. docs not
appear to be anything deiluite known with regard to
the French troupe, however, aud its rumored advent
on these shoies may be without substantial founda
tion. At present the English singers have the operatic
Held to themselves, and between the two troupes
led by such popular artists as Mrs. Bernard and
Madame Itosa, there is likely to be u healthy competi
tion that will go far towards making Kngllsh op.;ra
more worthy of public patronage than It has been
hitherto. That the rivalry between the two com
panies is not exclusively artistic emulation is shown
by the extremely ill-advised card which Mrs. lier
nard has published. A private note which we have
received from her expresses the same idea in a still
stronger manner, and it seems that there Is tribula
tion In the Itlchlngs camp at the prospect of an in
trusion into what the esteemed manageress had
probably come to consider her exclusive
Held of action by right of pre-emption. Mrs. Bernard
is certainly entitled to great praise for the energy,
ability, aud untiring industry she has shown in her
endeavors to make Kngllsh opera popular, an l
although some of the leading members of her old
company are entitled to some credit, sue win uu
doubted'ly carry on" by right the chief honors. Mi.
cannot complain that the press of this city at least
lias not giveu her a generous support from the very
liu eptlou of her enterprise, appreciating the dlillcul-
ties she hud to contend with, ami considerately look
ing at the merits of her entertainments rather than
their defects, under a sincere conviction that she, at
all times, and under all circumstances, endeavored
to do her best. There is nothing, however, like
active competition, and it was decidedly apparent
Just season that. from some causo or
other, the Hicliiiigs1 combination was iL
tericrutlng. It appears to have been thougltl
much better that a separation should tak
place, snd we cotwenuently Hud that four of tlu
leading artists of the old Hlehlngs troupj have en
listed under the 'banner" of Madame liosa. This I
not a matter for regret with the public, as there Is
plintyofroom for lioth troupes, if both aro good
ai.d a little wholesome rivalry will stimulate
greater exertions. The secession of the old c
worke. -8. however, seems to be a speotal grievance
with Mrs. Bernard, aud her indiscreet appeal to the
press and public appears to be a side slap at them
for deserting her "banner." We have heard several
lenortsof the cause for the disintegration of the
original ltichings troupe, some of which are sutll
clently clrcumstuntlal and precise in detail to have
at least the appearance of truth. Mrs. iternar
appears to have considered that she ha
a monopoly of English opera, and under tills belief
the management of affairs behind the scenes was
not as pleasant to some of the members or the com
y.any as It might have been. They according took
measures to cut loose from their old connection,
and as Madame Rosa was quite willing to organize
a troupe, they enlisted in her service. Messrs.
Castle and Campbell and the Hegulns changed their
aUVglttu.ee because tlicy were dlsHutlstlod, or be-
enusc they could make better terms elsewhere. This
Is something that Is done every day In the theatrical
world, and the card published by Mrs. Bernard Is
the first time wc have seen a manager make the de
sertion of artNts a matter for public complaint, ami
we believe that Mrs. Bernard will as heartily re
grct having published her rather silly note as any of
her Lest friends now do.
With regard to the merits of the rival troupes we
are, of course, not now prepared to speak. Madame
Nona has obtained four excellent nnd popular artists
in Mr. Campbell, Mr. Castle, Mr. Heguln, and Mrs.
Scguln. In addition to these she has secured Miss
Fannie Stockton, a fair contralto singer, who lias
appeared In this city several times of lato years In
spectacular pieces, and with whose abilities the
public are therefore tolerably well acquainted. Miss
Hose Ilersee, Miss Andrews, Messrs. Lawrence,
Hull, Norilhlom, Taker, Klttes, and Howard, about
whom wu know little or nothing. Madame Parepa
Ilosa will, of course, bo prima ilonna, and with her
delicious voice she will be a host la herself.
The new Hlehlngs combination will introduce to
the public several new singers. Miss Blanche Eller
luan, who will assist Mrs. Bernard In the leading
soprano mien, Is a pupil of Ardt, and sho comes to us
from the London English Opera House with a good
reputation for voice and style. Mr. Henry Halgli,
the new leading tenor, is also from London. About
his abilities we know little or nothing. Mr. Brook
bouse Bowler Is known here as a tenor singer who
has appeared in concert with much success. It re
mains to be seen how he will answer iu the more
trying operatic entertainments. Mr. Henry Drayton,
the leading baritone, appeared here some ten or
twelve years ago with his wire in n series of pleas.mt
pallor operas, and he won a good reputa
tion ns an actor and singer of more
than usual ability. Mrs. Brookhousc Bowler,
the leading contralto, is a stranger, with whose merits
we ure unueqiialiited. Miss Anna Mlschka, and
Messrs. Pierre Bernard, James Arnold, Henry
Peiikes, and James Peakes, are well known as mem
bers of the old troupe. Mr. Warren Wnlte, the second
bnsso, performed with the Galtons last season, and
he can scarcely be considered a very valmble ac
quisition. Mr. Behrcns will continue at his old post
as li ii .'c r of t tie orchestra, and in him Mrs. Bernard
will have an invaluable colaborer.
These ale the rival troupes, and while wishing
them both success, we will endeavor to do justice t
the demerits and deficiencies of both without favor
or Impartiality. As-far as we know Mrs. Bernard has
a good troupe, which it will probably require some
little time to get into training, and for all the short
comings of the commencement of the season due
allowance of course will be made. After that the
manageress that gives the best performances will be
moHt likely to secure the largest pecuniary reward.

From the .V. ". lleruUt of yeti rilai inornini.
it would scum that there is to be no end to the
discoveries that ure buiug daily made bythu Col
lector ami ins cuict representative us to tuc pre
valence of lrauis in certain departments of the
C'uMoin House. Xo person who knows anything
at nil about the subject can be ignorant of the
tact Unit in the various departments of the C'us-
oin House there arc many "opportunities as
lie dishonest men call loose ways of doiniy busi
ness lor peculators to proht by, unit that H re-
juircs the utmost and 1111 tirin lc vin'ihmco of the
roper authorities to keep lue public crib Intact.
Although every now and tliou the clerks and
others are stirred up by n ''revelation" that .Mr.
J5o-nnd-So lias been found waut'iny; ns an honest
iiit.ii to put it mildly the ";ruut majority of
them beiii, of course, honest, are never aware
t how extensive are tlio plans and ingenious
the urtiliccs made use of by depredators to ;aiii
their unlawful ends. In ulniost every fraud that
has been detected so far this feature of a decided
alining lias been prominent, and in the latest
one that lias been brought to inmt the under
ground workings of the persons most unfavorably
concerned nive ample proof that it requires,
alter all, a certain amount of brains of a certain
kind to be an eilicieiit or, to speak more
1 ointedly, an inclllcient Custom House clerk.
A lew days a"o the "latest I rami above men
tioned was discovered, and although the autho
rities have not as yet taken action in the matter
it is Nile to say that, in a week or so, after tlicv
have accumulated the necessary evidence to
make a f-ruud disclosure, there will be a terri
ble Miuknifj; ot dry bones iu the Custom House.
1 he persons who are most implicated iu Hie !
lruiul are certain United Mates weighers, and
the manner of their connection with it is tfiven ,
us follows: They are paid a regular salary by
the (icucral Government to do their work well, 1
and are allowed Ihe expenses they incur in em-ployii)"-
the necessary number of "laborers to aid
thciu iu their work. Alter tlicv have welirhcd.
tor instance, a can;o of tea, say of JJO.OOO chests,
the merchant to whom the cargo is consigned em-
ovs u city weigher to weigh the chests, or
packages, as they are called. Of course the
merchant pays the city weigher for his work,
and out of his pay the weigher must pay
whatever help lie may require. Tlio object of
tlio consignee in employing the idtv weigher is
obviout-ly to ascertain whether the L'nitc I States
weigher has weighed ins cargo correctly and
make sure of its exact bulk. But it has been
discovered and here the fraud comes in that
the city weigher, instead of doing his work alter
being employed, goes to the United Slates
weigher who has weighed the cargo he (tlio city
elulier) is paid to weigh, and for a certiiie'd
cheek for u good amount obtains tlio United
.Slates weigher's ligures. These he, ot course,
bands to the merchant, and the latter, iiuding
i hut they correspond exactly with the figures ot
the United iStates weigher he has already been
furnished with, comes to the conclusion that all
is right and that such correctness denotes wou
derliil exactness in his duties on the part of the
city weigher. It- is said that a very largo
number of United States and city weighers aro
implicated in this kind of nefarious business,
and that the Collector is determined to bring
them up with u sharp turn. ludced, It is under
stood that the men, laborers, who depend it
meat deal upon the work that is furnished them
by the city weigher when weighing it cargo, ami
rtlio nre consequently thnnvu out of' employ
ment when the city we'igher buvs the figures of
the United Slates weigher instead of weighing
the cargo himself and mukiug out his own
ligures, have laid their grievances before the
Collector. They have besides furnished him
with some very spicy facts concerning tlio
mutual agreements that exist between the two
clastes of wdglnrs, which will no doubt give
Mr. Grinned an intisrht into a certain depart
ment of the Custom House that he and hut few
outside the ring have over been given before. It
is alleged thut many of the United States
weighers have obtained as much as 0l) and
5(KJ at one time in exchange for their figures.
'Ihcre will certainly he a stir among the
weighers soon. The honest men, hovever,
have nothing to leur, but the guilty every
thing. There really U nothing new under the sun.
The paddle-wheel for boats is seen on the Assy
rian tlabs. and iu more than one old European
fresco. The bicycle seems to have been known
in China more thau two centuries ago, and the
velocipedo was probably seen even oefore that
in Europe. Among the ancient painted glass in
and about the once noble church at Stoke Pogis
may be seen the representation of a young fel
low who is astride the mute but active horse: he
is working his wny along with the air of a rider
who has introduced a novelty, und Is being
looked at by admiring spectators. It is one of
the most curious illustrations of ancient times In
tlio painted glass windows of this luturestlug
church.
