THE DAILY EVEMNG TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, faiiiPTEMBEU Id 186!) 8 mi lieu. aki pbamatic I,. Kirhhia Op-ra Tronn. TXe new Riohlngs KngiiM. op.ra combination con lndetbefr brief Season of twelve performances at nncartcrdyofMu-'ic this afternoon, without hav InUchSthat pecuniary success that the friend, and admlreri of the esteemed directress would have well PlcM-"1 wlth- Ai for Mr8, Bernrt' Bhe h certainly exerted herself to the utmost to make the performances attractive, and nearly evory even Unrshe has sustained the burden of tiie leading roles, singing and acting with as much spirit as If she were unannoyed by any other cares than those at tending the proper performance of nor duties on the Btage. She has been in excellent voice and never eang better. The reasons for the non-success of this first venture of the new combination are nume rous, and some of them we know will be removed as the season advances, and M the company gets Into better training. The artlBts have scarcely yet learned to work well together, and the chorus In particular needs considerable training to bring It up to a proper mt of efllcleney. Mrs. Bernard, too, commenced her season too early by several weeks. The weather L been sultry, and many of the best patrons of the mra have not yet returned from tlielr summer taunts. The absence of many faces familiar as regular opera-goers was very noticeable, and It would probably have made a number of dollars dif ference if the opening night had been fixed nearer the first of October than the first of September. BcBtdes these considerations, there are elements In the company itself that have militated in a great deifree against success. Some of the blame of fail ure has been laid upon the shoulders of Mr. Henry Bravton, the new baritone. This gentleman was accused of exhibiting a panorama In Kuglund during the Hcbellton, In which ho took a decidedly Kebel nd British view of our situation, alluding to the Northern people in scurrilous language, and other wise paving the way for an unpleasant greeting in case he should ever revisit his native shores. The charge against Mr. Draytou appears to be pretty well founded, and his rather awkward denials have only made the matter worse. Mr. Drayton has proved himself to be a competent artist, and we doubt whether this disagreeable ail'air lias in any great degree contributed to the non-success of the troupe. We think, and we btlleve, that the majority of opera-goers think that Mr. Dra . ton is not a person of sit indent, consequence to mak mich a hubbub over. Ilis political opinions are of n importance to the public J and so Jong as he attend8 to his business on the stage, there are few person" whose loyalty is of so aggravated a nature as to worry about him. We doubt, In fact, whether Mr. Prayton has any political opinions. He exhibited a Hebel panorama In England, an spiced it with anti Union sentiments and abuse of the Northern people because his auditors liked that sort of thing; and he came here and sang the "Star-Spangled Banner" and waved a tattered battle-Haft over his head at a charity concert for exactly the same reason. All this is not at all creditable to Drayton ; but, as we before remarked, his political opinions are not of the Slightest consequence. More disastrous than the disloyalty of Mr. Dray ton was the failure of Mr. Ilalgh, the leading tenor. The plea of Illness was made Iu favor of this gen tleman, but after repeated hearings we are bilged to come to the conclusion that he is unequal to the task he has undertaken, within u limited range his voice Is remarkably line, but his range is very limited, and both In low and high notes lie is deli clent to a degree that certainly unfits him for any thing more than a ballad singer. Mr. flaigh ap proaches a high note with evident effort and appre hension, aBd he lnvailubly breaks Into a peculiarly disagreeable falsetto. This has been extenuated as an English practice that could be obviated, but we floubt whether Mr. Ilaigh Is capable of singing a high note with his natural voice. Mr. Ilalgh, too, like many tenors, and particularly tenors of portly presence, Is an egrcgiously bad actor, mid he lounges about the stage In that unpleasantly lazy manner that is so objectionable In Brlgnoli. a. better artist in every way than Mr. Ilaigh is Mr. Bowler. This gentleman has a good tenor robusto voice, of considerable power and compass, but lacking sweetness tj some degree. He has it well under control, however, aad sings with spirit and expression. Mr. Bowler is rather too awaggery" if we may use the term in his aciiug, but he appears to be painstaking and enthusiastic, and he will undoubtedly improve and become one of the most valuable and reliable members of the com pany. Mi'B. Bowler, too, has also proved herself a compe tent artist, and she probably Is as acceptable a sub stitute for Mrs. Seguln as could be lound. Miss Ellermann, on the contrary, Is not a success, and Bhe probably will not be, unless she goes through a Bevere course of training. At present she has neither the voice nor culture to enable her to assume . leading roles. Her bearing on the stage is crude in the extreme, and the total lack of expression in her Binging Is a defect that will prevent her from be coming a favorite. The balance of the company is made up for the most part of members of the old organization, and the Messrs. Fcakes, MIssMisclika, and others are reasonably elllclent In the lines of business entrusted to them. Of course the troupe has appeared under numer ous disadvantages during the past two weeks, and it will take time to make them work together in perfect Harmony, witn tne exception or Mr. ixaign and Miss Ellermann.the combination appears to be a rea sonably strong one, and alter it has well settled down to its work, we do not doubt that it will be able to render any of the works In Mrs. Bernard's repertoire with good ellect.

Scarcely a day passes with out our journals being called upon to record some terrible explosion, attended with great sacrifice of liuman life, desolating many homes, and spreading gloom over entire communities. So frequent have they become that the interests of common humanity demand that those using steam should in every pos sible manner guard against them, sparing neither expense or proper care to surround tneinseiveB with saieguards. Explosions are the result of various causes, defective boilers, incompetent engineers, etc., but In the majority of cases thorough Inves tigation has determined the cause to be an undue pressure of steam, against which the only protection is a thoroughly reliable safety valve. A very interesting test has just been made at the Philadelphia Navv Yard, by order of the Govern ment, of "Taylor A Coale's Patent Automatic Lock up Safety Valve," which being a matter of grave im portance to the public, we gladly give place In our columns, Inasmuch as it has been deemed of sufll- cleut importance by the Government to order the test, to accomplish which in a thorough and satis factory manner every facility has been afforded by the Commandant, Chltf Engineer, and Master Machinist. The Chief Engineer, Mr. Lortou, has not yet made his report, but we are informed the test was thorough and satisfactory in every respect. It is not essential to enter into a description of the valve further than to state that It is a combination of two valves; cannot corrode or Btlck, and once fixed at any required pressure can be locked up beyond the possibility of being tam pered with or weighted, and should the steam rise beyond the pressure at which the valve Is set, it will instantly blow off fanter than the steam can be ac cumulated, thus providing asjainst the inattention or incompetency of engineers, We understand this valve secured the premium at the Maryland Insti tute over the valve for which an effort was made to secure the passage of an act by the last Assembly, reqvirinj itn we exelimireli. The Inven tors and owners of the valve tested at the Navy Yard desire no such legislation for tlielr valve. Through their cgent, Mr, William 8. Irwin, No. 40o Library street, they challenge competition, and a r,2i With any other valve, either of home or foreign Invention, satlBiled that no valve has yet been pro duced to equal It as a protection against explosions. This proposlton is certainly fair, and must bo pro ductive of great benefit, as Messrs. Taylor fc Coale do not claim that Improvements on their valve are impossible, and court competitive Ingenuity; but they do claim that their v alve now stands excelsior. It can be seen on the boiler or the machine shop of the Navy Yard, and should be inspected by all skilful engineers, machinists, and sclentiiio experts. Real Estatb Sales. Within the next two weeks there will be several sales by M. Thomas A Sons of valuable residences and properties located In the ..

Auctioneers. OUR NATIONAL DISEASE. What is It, and what will enre it? It In a fact that will not bo controverted that Dyspepsia ( a national disease, to be fonnd from the Presi dential mansion to the humble cottap;o along tho marshes ot the Atlantic. 5ympto?ngThere aro carcely two cases of Dyspepsia alike. Tho symptoms vary. In one case they may bo cold hands and feet, oppressive soreness and pain in the pit of the stomach, drowsiness after meals. In another, costlvcness, heartburn (so called), tormenting feelings, both mental and physical. In a third, nervousness, the spirits depressed, a foreboding of evil, the mind so depressed that in some cases there Is extreme melancholy, nnd tho suncrcr is led to commit suicide. In another, harassing bclchings, saliva or watery sub stance profusely running from the mouth, throat Irritated with a dry cough, skin dry, then cold, tho stools clay colored, restlessness at night, sleep easily disturbed, frightful dreams, at one time bowels constipated, then diarrhoea or dysen tery, cnused by foul matter in the stomach, caus ing apoplexy and other diseases beyond the power of human skill te control. What wiQ euro It? By Indigestion the food llesfu tho stomach and is decomposed by heat, etc., Into a mucus; this mucus adheres to the walls of tho 6tomach until a false rncmbrnno is formed, which para lyzes tne lunrtions of the digestive organs. To perform a cure this false membrane must bo de tached, nnd the stomach healed and brought back to natural tone; without effecting this, it impossible to effect a cure, nnd In this mode of treatment lies Dr. L. Q. C. WISIIA R f'S wonderful cures of the Dyspepsia. The Dyspepsia Pillj remove the false lining, nnd tho Pino Tree Taf Cordial heals, making a perfect cure of thil dreadful diseuse. TIIE VIRTUES OF TAU. A very ingenious "sell" upon the Roval So- ciety of Great Britain was perpetrated bv Sir Charles J I anbury Williams, a wicked wair of the age, during the furore caused by the discovery oi tne wonuenui neaimir nowora of TAR WATER Sir Charlos sent a aommnnicatlon to the President relating the circumstances of a sailor's breaking his leg ou board of the guard ship at Chatham, and its perfect nnlon and cure by an application of spun oakura soaked in tar. After tho communication had been read aud printed iu the Royal Trausaetions, he sent asecend letter, stating that ho had forgotten to stato In the former correspondence that tho log was a wooden one! Although this joke was a sore on for the society, it did not injure tho reputation of Tar as a remedy, for its legitimate cures were so wonderful that odes were writteu In iU praise, and the celebrated Eishop Bcrkely publLshed two voluminous works describing, endorsing, and registering its virtues. Prom the failure of scientific men, at that period, to extract and concentrate the curative principle from tho crude tar, its nauseousness caused it t fall into disuse, and its great healing powers were lost to mankind until Dr. L. Q. C. Wlshart succeeded in depriving the specific of its unpleasant and cruder particles, aud lu his PINE TREE TAR CORDIAL offering to the afllicted all that was valuable, while the other parts were eliminated by its careful preparation. As soon a. this was accomplished the remedy was again endorsed by the faculty, and tho cures were such as to con vert its enemies and firmly establish it as one of the greatest blessings to suffering humanity. Its success was immediate and wide-spread, and its manufacture became of great Importance and a source of wealth to its reviver. A long life was spent for the welfare of maukind by Dr. Wishart in perfecting his discovery and promulgating its usefulness, and at his decease (which took place but recently) the method of preparation an tho extension of its usefulness devolved upon his eons. It cures colds and coughs with marvellous celerity, and is the only preparation which ap proaches to a specific. It does not cover antl patch up, but eradicates diseaso by removing the cause, aud for obstinate, long-continued catarrhs, nnd consequently of the incipient stages of consumption, is the only certain remedy to the phartnacopceia. It would bo a waste of the reader's time to enumerato cases, for the remedy is so well known, its so thoroughly tested, that eulogy is superfluous and reference not requisite. Hot only as an in ternal remedy is it valuable, but externally it heals sores and irritations, and as a pleasant fumigator in the sick room stands above all others. Tar Cordial is an extrcraclv potent and valu able medicine for tho cure of throat and lung diseases. It combines, to a degree unknown in any other remedy, vigorous action with safety aud harmlessuess. DR. WISHART'S PINE TKEE TAB. CORDIAL. It is the vital principle of the Tlno Tree, ob tained by a peculiar process in Uio distillation of tho tar, by which its highest medical properties are retained. It is the only safeguard and reliable remedy which has ever been prepared from the juice of the Pine Tree. It invigorates the digestive organs aud re stores the appetite. It strengthens the debilitated system. It purifies aud enriches tho blood, and expels from the system tho corruption which scrofula breeds on the lungs. It dissolves the mucus or phlegm which stops the air passages of the lungs. Its healing principle acts upon the irritated surface of the lungs nnd throut, penetrating to each diseased part, relieving pain and subduing Inflammation. It is the result of years of study and experi ment, and it is offered to the alllicted with tho positive assurance of its power to cure the fol lowing diseases, if the patient has not too long delayed a resort to the means of cure: Conxvmption oftiieLtmga, Cough, Sore Ttiroat and Breast, Bronchitis, Liver Complaint, Blind and Bleeding Biles, Asthma, Whoqring Cough, Dqitheria, etc. CALL AT DR.
