rBSSSl'LVASIA MEDICAL SOCIETT.
Yewtertlay Afternoon' Nesslon.
The society met yesterday afternoon at 4
o'clock. A resolution to the following effect
was presented and adopted:
That while all that relates to the general
management of hospitals, the accommoda
tion, board, comfort, etc., of the patients ap
pertains, legitimately, to the managers of
these institutions, the subject of medical in
struction is, properly, neither within their
province nor within that of the contributors,
but, in right and in courtesy, belongs, with
oil its accidents, exclusively to tho medical
staff.
By permission of the society Dr. Gross ex
plained that in his speech of the morning he
had stated that Drs. Hartshorne, Stille, Mor
ton, and Weir Mitchell held consulting pro
fessorships in the Woman's Medical College,
n ud were also members of the County Medi
cal Society. He had since been informed
that this was not true of Drs. Morton and
Mitchell, one of whom had never been a
member of the County Society, and tho other
Laving resigned before joining the Woman's
College. He regretted his mistake, and with
great pleasure made this correction.
After the passage of resolutions of thanks,
the society adjourned to meet in Williams
port, Ta., on the second Wednesday in June,
1871..
nUSlCAL AI1D 1 It ASIATIC.
"I.urline" by the Ktrhlngs Troupe.
The performance of Wallace's opera of Lur
line last evening, for the benefit of Mrs. Bernard,
attracted a very good audience notwithstanding
the extremely disagreeable state of the weather.
The libretto is based upon the same theme as the
once favorite spectacular drama of The Naiad
queen almost the only spectacular piece, by
the way, produced of late years, that has the
merit of being at all poetical in subject or treat
ment bnt it is by no means as good an arrange
ment. The Naiad Queen would make a very
good opera book almost as it stands, and it is to
t.e regretted that the composer did not use it
instead of attempting to procure a new versiou
of the story. Lurline is intended for a spectacular
opera, and the entire absence of any spectacular
ettects last evenicg was one of the chief draw
backs to the enjoyment of the audience. The
music is marked by all the characteristics of
Wallace's style, and with its sweet, plaintive,
and graceful melodies it is well calculated to
please the public taste, and if brought out with
good etage effects the opera ought to be a valu
able addition to the repertoire of any troupe.
The performance last eveuing was scarcely up
to the Ligbeet mark of excellence, and with the
exception of Mrs. Jernard. who sang the role of
"Lurline" with fine expression, and Mr. Dray-
lou, wno made a capital representative ot
'Rhinebere," there was very little to commend.
This afternoon the Reason will close with a
performance of Martha.
AT thh walnut Air. Jeflerson will appear
tliis atternoon ana evening as "Kip Van Winkle."
At the Akch the Bryant treupe will give an
attractive minstrel performance this eveninz.
At thb Chebnut variety entertainments will
be given this afternoon and eveuing, when the
present troupe will conclude its engagement.
We hear that Miss Laura Keeue is eDcra&red in
writing a book on the stage, which will doubtless
contain many rich, rare, and racy items, lier
experiences as ruanager of the Chesuut Street
Theatre will furnish the materials for some
curious and edifying chapters. We shall look
for Miss Keene's book with impatience.

From Our Own Corrtmxmarnu
Nkw York, Juno 11, 187P.
The Appronrhlna Jubilee.
Terhaps j'ou would be interested in a few
items with regard to what has been done in
preparation for the Beethoven Centennial whosc
celebration commences on Monday. This has
been a very busy week at the building variously
known as the Enqdre Skating Rink and the
American Institute, at tho corner of Sixty-fifth
stree t and Third avenue. The stage is almost
finished. It is 180 feet wide and 05 deep, and will
accommodate 4000 persons. Tne stage rises
gradually from tho centre towards the sides,
in sixteen rows of seats. Each row accommo
dates 120 persons. The orchestra occupies tho
centre. In the rear of the orchestra nine rows
of seats arise, of the same capacity as that of
the others. The organ is to be at the back of
the stage, facing the middle, and forming tho
centre-piece. From either side statues of
Beethoven and Mozart, and busts of Handel,
Haydn, and Mendelssohn, Weber and Meyerbeer,
contemplate tlic scene. The escutcheons of tho
several States decorate the walls. Plain orna
ments only are aimed at. It Is claimed that the
over-ornamentation of the Boston Jubi
lee in the way of flass and
banners only impeded tho sound. The audi
torium is almost completely provided with
sofas and forms. The gallery flooring is nearly
finished, and, in itself, is as capacious as the
floor of Stclnway Hall. The rink is illuminated
by sixteen calcium lights, a sunlight in the
dome, and rows of jets in all the multitudinous
arches. The stage has been made extremely
strong, the auditorium rests on the ground.
Two large doors of exit are on each 6ide of the
building, those of entrance upon Third ave
nue. The Handel and Haydn Society of Boston
contributes five hundred voices. Besides this
there will be societies from Springfield, Mass..
Newark, Waterbury, Bridgeport, New Haven,
and Hartford. The entire number of instru
mentalists will amount to five hundred of ac
companists, 200. Fifty anvils and two batteries
of artillery will swell' tho chorus. The anvils
are to be manned by a company from one of our
most prominent city regiments. The artillery
will be touched off by electricity and fired in a
vacant lot east of the rink, the cartridges
being fired into an embankment raised for the
purpose so as to prevent all accidents. Tho
first performance is to be given on Monday
evening. Madame Parepa singing tho Star
Spangled Banner. The enterprise may yet
prove a success. The vocal Vesuvius has ab
sorbed quite enough money already to make it
one. Mr. Leonard Grover worked hard enough
over Tammany, but that was child's play com
pared with these efforts of cyclopean song.
A Brontlwav Kplnoite.
At a certain point along Broadway, in front of
one of those little stands where summer drinks
and postal accommodations are to be bought,
and where the hurried pedestrian finds himself
asking for cool, sparkling postage-stamps, and
soda-water with internal-revenue cream, sits a
Bightlees beggar holding shoe-lacers for sale in
one hand and a placard bearing the words "I
am blind" in the other. Early in the morning
and late (it night ho ma3' be seen there gathering
a few pennies in, due to the charity he invites
rather than the shoe-lacers he displays. The
man is old and infirm. His checks are hol
lowed, his arms tremble, his face is pitiable,
his garments are ragged. He is one of those
sights which make the considerate sometimes
question whether God Is good, and whether
human charity is worth much. Yesterday after
noon an event, partly pleasing and partly pain
ful, happened to this blind man. He was seated
at his post as usual, bmt, what was not usual, was
surrounded by several people. The cause was
soon apparent. Close to the old man. on one
6lde, stood a villainous-looking young man, in
whose stunted form and distorted features all
the hideous passions seemed to vie in express
ing themselves. He looked like a brute with a
human skin and in human clothes. His eye
brows formed one line from temple to temple,
and across the nose. The chin and lower lip
protruded. The features were inflamed, and
the eye gleamed like melted lead.
He was talking in a low tone
and rapidly to the blind man, but evidently no
gentle words, and in no gentle tone. By no
change in his features did the old man intimate
that he heard or felt the radian's words, except
that bis upturned countenance seemed involun
tarily to grow more supplicating. All of the
observers, with one exception, were mature and
vigorous men. That one exception was d slim
youth of sixteen or seventeen, very blonde,
very handsome, very delicate and distingue
looking, dressed quietly and In perfect ta6te,
and presenting the inimitable tout ensemble of the
perfect gentlemen. The quiet but determined
blue eyes of this refined boy were riveted alter
nately upon the face of the old man and that of
the ruffian. Suddenly the tableau changed
The ruffian, with the back of his hand, dealt the
old man a blow In the mouth which drew the
blood. The next instant one hand of the youth
was twisted in the villain's neck-tie until the
face of the wearer grew red-black, and the other
dealt him a stinging blow between the eyes. It
was a beautiful sight, over in a mo
ment, for the people closed around
Valentine and Orson, and succeeded In
separating them lust as a policeman hove in
sight. The stage that I was in, and the tempo
rary blocking in of which had enabled me to so
far observe the spectacle, was driven on, but my
last glimpse assured me that the ruffian had
been given in charge, and that the noble child
bad followed un the good work he had so
chivalrously commenced. Incidents like this
do not take place every day, and when they do
they commend themselves very sweetly, because
they prove that a good heart and brave intui
tions are not quite dead In the boyish breast of
Young Gotham. Ali Baua.
The press of Pari is enthusiastic over
Mad lie Dinah Deux, a charmingly vivacious
actress in light roles and the youngest sister of
