The cancus or Republican Honators hold a
meeting thin morning, from 11 to 13 o'clock, to
determine what course should be pursued hy tin
majority in the Senato with reference to th
House bill for the admiision of Georgia. Tho
caucus was very fully attended, and a gonera
discussion took place as to the advisability of
retaining the proviso known as the Bingham
amendment. Senators Morton, Drako, Thayer,
aud Cameron spoke in favor of striking it out.
and Messrs. Trumbull, Edmunds, Ferry, and
others advocated its retention.
No vote was reached, and it ia understood
that the sentiment of the caucus was not de fi
nitely shown by the debate, the speakers being
about equally divided in numbers. The caucus
seemed to be bo equally divided that both sides
vrcre indisposed to come to a vote on the main
issue, which was Mr. Bingham's amendmont to
the Georgia bill. Motions to adjourn till to
morrow and to this afternoon wore lost, and a
motion to adjourn tine die was carried. Unless
there bo further action in tho caucus, the
amendment will bo adopted by at least ten ma
jority In the Senate.

Tho House Committee on Foreign Affairs this
morning were engaged in the discussion of
Cuban affairs. They have before them all tho
facts in tho case thus far furnished by tho De
partment of State, but desire additional infor
mation before they come to a conclusion on
the Banks resolution defining the relations
between tho people of Cuba and Government
of Spain. In order to act upon it more intel
ligibly, they have authorized the Chairman to
invite tho Secretary of State to be present at
the special meeting of the committee next Mon
day. There Is reason to believe that the majo
rity of the members ore opposed to tho joint
resolution recently reported by the Senate
Committee on Foreign Relations

The Truss-Man Again.
Dr. Jacob A. Sherman, the notorious truss in
ventor who received tho memorable letter from
Henry Ward Beeeher, advising him to truss his
his own mouth up, has had Cauldwcll and Whit
ney up before Justice Shandley, at Jefferson
Market Police Court, on a charge of libel. The
libel consisted in having published Mr. Boccher's
letter, and also the letter of a victim to tho truss
signing himself "Tommy Dodd." Messrs. Cauld
well and Whitney recently lost heavily on a
libel suit, and live in an utmosphero which is
forever threatening one. This must always be
the case with a newspaper which professes to
falter at no means, provided the law bo evaded,
by which pecuniary success Is to be obtained;
but I am Inclined to think that on the present
caslon they will be let up easy.
Alra. Robert Dale Owen
has been creating a sensation in Sorasls. It is
not often that members of that association have
tho opportunity of listening to so much sense
and sentiment expressed in so brief a compass.
Her two principal points were that so long as
women have the providing of man's food thoy
can govern him as they choose, and that if it
became a general practice for married women to
support themselves their husbands would quickly
go to ruin. Mrs. Owen makes no pretensions
to being a young woman, and consequently her
remarks commended themselves by reason of the
very maternity with which they were weighted.

The New York drug clerks have two or three
little eccentricities which their patrons get used
to (when they survive them), but which strike
the stranger in Knickerbocker as being rather
singular. One of these eccentricities consists In
substituting deadly poisons for drugs whose'
action is presumed to be the reverse of- doadly,
and to have a decidedly enlivening effect. An
other may be illustrated in this wise: You
enter a fashionable drug-store without ever
having done anything that you are aware
of calculated to give any offense to any em
ploye there. .Notwithstanding this little
lact In your favor, a youth bursting from
some unknown lair applies to his lips one of
those arrangements consisting of two glass
tubes at right angles to each other, one of them
being Inserted in a bottle filled with liquid per
fume. In an instant you are enveloped in a
cloud of aconted spray, the particles of which
settle on yonr whiskers, down your neck, up
your nose. It is in vuln you resist. Ottar impedes
what you would utter; and if you boat a retreat
,ks 8w, aromatic trclwws awniu clee-
where. You may be said to die of (otur of)
rose ia aromatic pain.

In 8t. Louis a Journal of ripennlatire I'hilitfn
1'hy is bolng published. In this city Dr. (lood
inRn, a poeltlvlst of tho school of Augusle
Comto, announces that some time during the ap
proaching summer he Intends publishing a peri
odical called tlw Modern Thinker, lie Invites
the criticism of tho bigot and the ultra orthodox
by explaining that the articles published therein
with reforonco to religion and society will be
without reference to the prejudices they may
provoke, and ho promises that In it tho latent
results of human thought and modern science In
all departmonU of speculative aclirlty shall And
a place, no matter what creed or existing pro
conception they may conflict with. Ilia pecti
niary responsibility and honesty aro vouched for
by the secretaries of the Independent
Posltlvist 8ociety and of tho Liberal
Club. Aro there enough speculative
people I do not mean the kind of speculation
that exists on Wall street to supiort a periodi
cal of this peculiar kind? People here prefer
making monoy to building theories on the In
finite and the absolute, and the conditions
under which the necessities of life are won are
too painful for thetn to concern themselves
much with the "Philosophy of tho Uncondi
tioned." But since the philosophy of Augute
Comte looks more Into the laws of things than
into their essences and causes, Dr. Goodman's
enterprise may have at least a temporary suc
cess. Wallark'a Ftre-Roene.
Ixtst at flea, now being performod at Wal
lack's, is remarkable for two things tho beauty
of the scene with which the third act concludes,
representing the stoamboat-plor at the foot of
Hungerford Bridge, und the burning attic at the
conclusion of the fourth act. The last-named
scene Is so real that the insurance ofllccrs visited
the theatre and informed Mr. Moss that ho must
either withdraw the fire-scene or Hie; would
annul the insurance. To calm their fears, and
through them those of the public to whom, by
somo fearful journalists, tho danger had been
misrepresented, tho insurance officers wore In
vited to a rehearsal, taken upon tho Btago, and
informed how the thing was done. When it
was explainod, it was as easy as the Floating
Head of tho Mysterious Gold Fish, the contri
vance simply consisting in Insulating the flames
and inclosing all that portion of the scone in
which they were comprised in a movable frame
that could bo closed together and shoved out of
the way at a moment's notice. You soc wo
manage these things bettor than they do out West.

A man may mauago a theatre without being
able to manage his wife. This appears to bo
the case with the manager and proprietor of an
extremely popular and well-known theatre in
New York. That ho understands his business,
such as it is, is evident In the immense audi
ences which nightly congregate in a building as
large as the Philadelphia Academy of Music.
The wife of this manager was recently sent by
a magistrate of this city to Blaekwull's Island
for three months. Yesterday she voluntarily
put In an appearance before another magistrate,
charging a certain Broadway jeweller with hav
ing connived at a theft of $1500 worth of jewels
from her. During the examination it transpired
that the robbery had been effected in a dis
reputable house. " But this Is one of the criminal
elllorcftctitces upon which I never like to ex
pand. Ali Ba.
ffltlNll'AL. ANI I It ASIATIC
'Obcron" bv the Parepa-Itoita Troupe.
An immense audience assembled at the Aca
demy of Music last evening to witness the first
performance in this city of Weber's opera of
Oberon by the l'arepa-ltoea troupe. This was
Weber's last important work, and it was written
as an English opera to a libretto by Flanche,
founded npon W eland's poem of "Oberon." The
leading idea appears to have been taken from
the long and elaborate romance of "Camaral.a
man and Badoura," in the "Arabian Nights' En
tertainments," although the plot of the opera
differs from this story in many important par
ticulars. When first produced in London Oberon
achieved a decided success, both as a musical
composition and as a spectaclo, but unfortu
nately, the talented composer did not live to
realize the fruits of his labor. Already enfee
bled by disease, the composition of the work and
the anxieties attending Its production cxhaustod
him, and only a few weeks after' its first per
formance he was found dead in his bed.
The peculiarities of Weber's style are very
distinctly marked in Oberon, and although it
has nothing equal to some of the finer portions
of Der Freischutz, it is calculated as a whole to
please the popular taste even more than that
more celebrated work. The performance of
Oberon by the Parepa-ltosa troupe has been an
nounced as the first in America, but this is a
mistake, as it was brought out some years ago
at the Old Park Theatre in New York, whore it
was well received. To the present generation,
however, it is an entire novelty, and Madame
Rosa has done herself credit by reviving it.
The performance last evening passed off in a
very satisfactory style, and Madame Rosa as
"Iieiza" sang her share of tho music, and the
fine air in the third act particularly, in
superb style. Mrs. Seguin as "Fatlraa"
had two beantiful airs, "A lonely Arab
maid" and "Araby, dear Araby," which
she sang charmingly. . Mr. Laurance,
who personated "Sherasmin," at the beginning
of the fourth act introdnced a ballad air which
was very pretty, but not at all in the style of
Weber's music, although admirably suited for
the display of the fine qualities of the singer's
voice. This obtained a hearty encore. The part
of "Sir Huon" was apparently somewhat beyond
the powers of Mr. Castle, although he acquitted
himself with credit, and in the great air of bis
role, "O, 'tis a glorious 6lght to see," he sang
with much expression.
Our opera goers have become so accustomed
to carelessness in all matters of detail and stage
appointment, that it must have been a most
agreeable surprise to see the elegant and taste
ful manner ia which Obcron was placed npon
the stage last night. There Is an additional
satisfaction in witnessing a performance that
gives evidence of intelligence and taste in the
management of the minor details, and Mr.
Jackson, the stage manager, who has charge of
this department, is entitled to great credit for
his efforts to make the stage effects worthy of
th emuslo and the singers.
