Csu-lott Paul la Opera.
The general deilra to bare so fine a singer at
Mlsa CarlotU Tattl make an appearance in
opera was doubtless shared to a rery Urge
extent by the lady herself, for to an artist of
real ability the limitation of the concert-room
must be highly unsatisfactory. Unfortunately,
koirOTor, the only role It which Miss rattl can
appear to adrantage is that of the '"Queen of
Night" in Mozart's Magic Flute, and as a com
petent company cannot always be got together,
or the opera Itself be indefinitely repeated
without girlng the people too much of it, the
opportunities for beating Miss Tatti alnjj with
all the adranUf es of a full orchestra and other
operatic surroundings must be xery rare. The
part too which the "Queen of Night" plays is a
rery small one, she being limited to two airs,
which, howeTer, by their intricate brilliancy are
well calculated to enable a highly-trained singer
like Miss Carlotta fattl to display the most
attractlre qualities of her style.
The opera of The Magio Flute Is full of lovely
music, that raages from grave to gay over a
wider variety of themes than any other work of
the kind ever written, and for the sake of its
music it will always have a high place in the
regards of lovers of art. It is burdened, how
ever, a libretto that is so fearfully and
wnderfu ly made that even Mozart's music
cannot make it attractive, and that would long
ago have consigned to oblivion the harmonies of
a less harmonious composer. The Magic Flute
survives in spite of its libretto, and the large
audiences that it usually attracts indicate how
Ira a hold Mozart has upon the regard of a
large portion of the musical public.
The attcadance last evening was in propor
tion to the interest of the occasion, and Miss
Patti was greeted with much enthusiasm. Her
style is not sympathetic, but it is certainly bril
liant, and in her two arias she gave such exhibi
tions of vocal gymnastics that the audienco
demanded an encore on each occasion. Miss
Patti has given these arias before in concert,
but her performance last evening, with the sup
port of a full orchestra, was certainly more
pleasing, and she sang with an evident pleasure
to herself in displaying the wonderful capabili
ties of her voice.
The support was respectable, but not remark
able, and the different artists gave no new reve
lations of the capabilities of the music. Miss
Pauline Canissa, who sustained the role of "Pa
mina," and Mr. Wilhelm Formes, who appeared
as "Papageno," the bird-catcher, appeared to be
most in earnest, and the latter gave a very
amusing and very creditable performance.
Mad'lle Canissa was scarcely equal to the ade
quate interpretation of the music of her part;
but she was evidently inspired with a desire to
do her best and to make a satisfactory impres
sion. Mr. Hermanns as "Sarastro" was uneven,
and although he sang at times with good expres
sion, he scarcely made as favorable an impres
sion as he does sometimes. After all, it is under
stood that Miss Paul is the great attraction; and
experienced opera-goers do not expect that auy
effort will be made by the artists with her to
throw her anymore into the background than is
necessary, and from this point of view the per
formance may be pronounced a success.
The Cltv AogitDiiu.
At the Academy of Music Miss Pattl will ap
pear this evening as "The Queen ot Night" in The

HOW OVR CITY GJIOWS.
Yesterday must have been a proud day fr Mr.
Wanamaker. It Is scarcely ten years since he com
menced business, a mare lad so far as years go.
"With but a few hundred dollars of capital and
nothing but his own resolute will and wonderful en
terprise to back him, he opened a small clotting
House, and called it OaklHall. And now, after ten
short years, but years of as bard work as ever man
!!d, he finds himself, or ratter has made himself,
master of the largest clothing house in
America, occupying one of the finest loca
tions for biainesa in our city, doing
a million and a half of business a year, employing
more than a thousand hands, and with the prospect
of future expansion surpassing anything in the past.
He has bad everything to contend with want of
prestige, the petty jealousy of rival merchants, times
most unfavorable for business extension, and num
berless slanders designed to Injure him in reputation
ana credit. But all these things have served only to
stimulate him, and the only reply that he has ever
made to his assailants has been a redoubling of his
-efforts and a determination to outstrip them all.
He has devoted himself with untiring strength of
purpose to the work of building up a great business,
and every year has advanced him toward that end.
Ills house soon became popular, and to-day there Is
jio name more familiar to all oar readers than that
of Wanamaker A Brtfwn. He laid deep and broad
foundations, and not only attracted but retained cus
tomers. He has done more than any other man in
the trade to advance the standard of ready-made
clothing, and has by skilful management kept the
scale of prices low.
And now he has his reward. Acknowledged as a
man of rare executive ability, he stands at the
head of the clothing trade, with a business
house which Is of Itself a vast fortune for any man.
His new buildings were thrown open to the public
yesterday, and they are no less a credit to our city
than a triumph to their proprietor. Oak Hall has
been the largest clothing house in Philadelphia, but
now, doubled in size, It excels In magnitude all
other such establishments In the country, neither
New Tort ner Boston being able to boast so ex ten
alve an establishment It Is six stories high besides
basements and lofts, and covers an area of some
11,000 square feet. On Market street its. handsome
and massive iron front 1b sixty-five feet wide, and
on Sixth street It extends back to Minor, a distance
of not leas than one hundred and eighty feet. Build
ogs and ground must be worth at least four nun-
d red thousand dollars. The house Is adapted wlti
consummate skill to the purposes for which It Is
bo lit, and wears In all Its parts an aspect of busl
neps. Its salesrooms. Immense and numerous as
they new are, are always thronged with a busy
erewd, and the upper stories resound continually
with the noises of hundreds of workmen,
The lower stories are teveted almost exclusively
to selling. Custom Department, Boys' Department,
General Beady-made Department, Furnishing Ooods
Department, and all the rest are provided with most
ample and suitable accommodation, whllo the manu
facturing or garments, with tho examination of
work, Is all doae in the fourth, fifth, and sixth
Stories, tho basement and lofts serving as store
rooms. Any person having en Interest In manufacturing
Industry would be delighted to visit this estaolish
ment. "System" relns supreme, and clockwork Is
not more regular and harmonious than the opera
tion ef all departments of this Immense concern,
aid when we remember that, In addition to this
business, Mr. Wanamaker is also proprietor of one
of the finest houses on Chesnut street, we must con
fess that It takes a clear head aud strong nerves to
conduct It all so systematically and so success
fully. The people cordially appreciate this enterprise, for
not only was the building throaged yesterday, but
the crowds of customers gave the most unmistaka
ble evidence of tholr satisfaction, and divided their
admiration between the new house and the really
magnificent stock of fine clothing with which it Is
filled from basement to lofL
Oak Hall enters now oa a new career and with all
the apparatus for doing a most extensive trade, and
It Is now backed with the well wishes or the whole
conmnnity and all who delight iu the mercantile
prosperity of our city.

The McFarland Trial.
Continued from, the Thid Edition.
Miss Lizzie Sage was the next witness testified
lam Mrs. Richardson's sinter; lived with Mr. an4
Mrs. McFarland In Brooklyn In 13.53 for Bve weeks,
when their first child was bora ; 1 saw McFarland
drunk on a Saturday on which he took mo to a mati
nee at the Museum; he left me, and when he came
Daca newas quite arunn; ne tooK me by the hand
and muttered some words, of which only two were
Intelligible, namely, "love and dearest;" I was about
as mucn siaggereu as ne was ; mat was mv last visit
to them.
Defense did not go Into any cross-examination.
Judge Davis said he offered as evidence tlia depo
sition of Miss Phoebe Wood to prove when Mrs.
McFarland took up her residence In Indianapolis.
This was to disprove that Mrs. McFarland was In
New Jersey, as witnesses for the defense testified
to, when she was In reality In Indiana.
Miss Wood deposes that Mrs. McFarland
boarded with her in Indianapolis In the
early part of the summer of 1863,
and staid a year; Schuyler Colfax recom
mended Mrs. McFarland as a lady of high standing;
I met Mr. Richardson in Washington; Mrs. McFar
land was writing articles for the New York Tribune
and Jiivemidt Magazine; Schuyler Colfax called on
Mrs. McFarland; Richardson never to my know
ledge visited Mrs. McFarlaud; Bhe never spoke to
me of her husband; I have had no communication
with her since she left this city; did not know on
what business she came to live in Indianapolis.
The deposition of Mr. Sehuyler Colfax was pro
posed to be given, as Mr, Colfax's name had been
mentioned in the course of the trial.
The Court said It did not see what It would avail,
as he did not know of anything requiring Mr. Colfax
in this trial. Ruled out.
