1111USICAL.
TIIF, ORCI-IF.STRA OF MR. CARL SF.NTZ, at
recent giving Thursday Matinees at Horticultu
ral Bail, is attracting much attention, and ttic
growing EIIOCCFB of the undertaking gives rise to
many speculations as to its permanence. Be
fore nruarking upon the performance, It wouid
be well to take a general view of orchestras and
orchestral music in this country. One of the
greatest artistic wants which we have always ex
perienced, is the proper cultivation of a compre
hensive taste for orchestral recitals. It is truly
astonishing to find among very many
persons of musical Culture and talents an
almost total ignorance or realization of how
glorious a thing is a fine orchestra. Those to
whom the performances of pianists and vocal
artists are familiar; to whom the mysteries of
'Chopin and the loveliness of Schubert are en
chanting, ecareely notice an announcement of ‘a
symphony of Beethoven, an overture of Rossini.
ens a waltz of Strauss. Why Is this? There are
two reasons which will fully answer:' the
luestion: Fireb—The majority do not know what
can be made of these these wonderful 'composi
tions; and Second—The rest of the musical com
munity have been so often made to
suffer by the false representations of ir
responsible parties, whose were
but farces, that they have given up supporting
those cone its where Mozart Is notunderstood,
:Haydn is murdered, and Schliniann rendered
laughable by a mere handful of undiselplined
instruments. And the result has been that for
seam past America, this great land of wealth,
taste and refinement, has been able to boast
of but one good orchestra...4M Philharmonic
of New York. The gitat school which the Euro
peans so fully enjoy for, the unlimited sup-:
ply of thei beat compositions well performed, is
denied to tie, We have, to be sure to work
undar difficult circumstances.. The great
patrOnege which is bestowed by the governments
and aristocracy of Enrbpe upon musical per
formancse of recognized excellence, of course
with na does not and can never exist. The sub •
led Is, therefore, brought home,to every,lover
of music, and upon each one, to a certain extent,
figthe responsibility if we do not ernbrace the
pregient opportunity ef encouraging the efforts
of certain musical gentlemen who have at last
mede.a move in the right direction. Philadelphia
needs a good orchestra. We belie the material;
what is , wanted is the pecuniary support' f all.
It cis only upon' the sound principles of strict
musical, taste that such an organization
can, prosper, and it therefore behooves all
capable of judging, to encourage in the most
practical manner that which is the 'best; and to
exercise their influence (and a great influence it
is) in ; forming in others, correct opinions on this
important queation. We'o not wish- to be' un
just in 'Vining Mr. Sentz's name at the head of
this article ; but his selections, the size of his
orchestra, and the general charaeter of the cea
certs given by them, entitle Mr. B. to a first men
tion. Ti' every comprehensive mind the fact is
perfectly apparent that three separate orchestras,
dependent entirely upon public support, cannot
exist fora sufficient length of time to attain any
degree of perfection. There Is only one
elleetual way of " producing a truly fine
organization ; and that is the combi
nation of these three separate divisions into
ono grand society, under the control of the gen
tleman who is beat fitted to occupy the import
ant position of leader. This can only be accom
plished gradually and by the eneonragement of
the beet of what we now have. Such an orches
tr4once started, there would then be no jealousies
nor ill feeling among the musicians; all could
feel an Interest personally in the Reputation of
the society, and would more willingly work to
gain a name which must be of great profit to
each of them. When thoroughly drilled, con
certs , given by such an orchestra must draw
crowded, paying houses, and the benefit artis
tically to all students and lovers of music would
be immense. Mr. dentz has collected
together some of the best material in Philadel
phia, but not all. Let bim be supported liberally
in his undertaking, and improvement and aug
mentation of numbers will surely follow. The
playing is good at present., but only encourage
ment can make it what it ought to be. A fine
judgmeut is shown In selecting for the first
season the Symphonies of Mozart and Haydn;
owing to their comparatively simple character.
The masterworks of Beethoven can only be
properly produced after the continued study of
the earlier masters in orchestration.
AfeIUINEatENTS.
TILE CHESTNET.—The comedy or Self, although
not remarkable as a literary production, and
somewhat commonplace in its moral sentiments,
is not sparing of the lash' as regards the more
obvious and superficial short-comings of 60-
called fashionable society. In the hands of me
diocre artists it would be dull beyond endurance,
while if entrusted to actors of ability, who could
personate the characters in an appreciative
spirit, it is capable of being made an entertaining
as well .as instructive drama. Last
evening Self was represented in a very
satisfactory manner by the Chestnut
street company, and it passed off amid the
hearty applause of a large and intelligent audi
ence. The great feature of the performance
was, of course, Mr.Owens' personation of "John
Unit," it being, we believe, the first time that he
has appeared in this character in Philadelphia.
The manner in which Mr. Owens sinks his own
identity, and appears to be nothing but the indi
vidual whose name and title he assnmes,is some
thing wonderful, while the rich humor that char
acterizes his performances, no matter what may
be the part that he attempts, shows him to be a
thorough comedian, or in other words, a thor
ough artist.
The "John Unit" of Mr. Owens is worthy of
attention as a careful artistic study, while at the
same time it appeals in the most forcible manner
to the sympathies and tastes of those who visit
the playhouse with no higher motive than mere
amusement, or to pass away an Idle hour. A
carefully drawn picture of a hard-fisted old man .
of the 4world, with to nonsense - about him, but
-with ei - keen appreciation of the value of dollars
and cents, yet having beneath his tightly but
tuned coal a human heart which only needs the
proper occasion to be drawn into the expression
of most generous liberality--such is the "John
Unit" of Mr. Owens. The grim humor of the
character is represented with admirable effect
by the comedian, and his testy "it won't pay,
sir!" excites its share of laughter. But the true
power of the actor is shown in the pathetic solil
oquy in the third act,when the friendless old man
n fleets upon what he has lost in life by his devo
tion to self alone, and sadly concludes that he has
made a false balance of his ledger after all. Mr.
Owens rendered this passage with exquisite feel
ing. There was DO straining Tor effect,nothlog was
overdone, and the audience testified their ap
preciation by their rapt attention and by the most
generous applause.
Self will be repeated this evening, and those
who can enjoy a play which teaches an instruc
tive moral. and which at the same time gives an
opportunity for such truly humorous acting as
that of Mr. Owens in the part of "John Unit,"
should see it, and carry away with them pleas
anter and better recollections than they usually
do from the theatre.

.opened last evening. It is a very fine structure.
()ITT BULLETIN
Tun SAENOERMIND'S MASKED 8AL1...-.The an
nual grand balmasquo of the Siingerbind was g l
von
km evening at I] °Weld tura' Rail. Theattendatt se
was large, notwithstanding the unfavorable•con
ditlun of the weather. The hall presented a
handsome appearance. The stage was set with&
is autiful rural scene, and around the galleries
mere hung small banners bearing the names of
different prominent German musical societtes,th
ierspersed with others beating comical devices.
The foyer was especlahy fitted up for the enjoy
ment of family parties. The orchestra was large
and tillcient,and was under the direction of Prof.
John Ritter. The ball commenced at nine
o'clock,' with a comic operetta entitled'
"The Elopement of Princess Carnival, or
the Death Sentence in the Land of Fools," per
formed by the members of tbe liiingerbund, un
der the direction of• Carl Gaertner. Mr. Jos.
Jacob personated Prince Carnival, and Mute.
Gustav the Prln CM. The performance passed
off well, and atlorded much amusement to the
spectators. Them followed the grand march, in
which all the masqueraders participated. There
was a great variety of costumes. Some were
rich and elegant, and others were exceedingly
fantastical. ,The procession presented a gro
tesque appearance. Duchesses and peasant girls,
courts and Indians clowns and qualtercases were
all mixed up promiscuously. After the march,
the 'dancing began, and it was continued
until after, three o'clock this morning.
At midnight supper was served in
excellent style hv C."-T. Greiner. Everything
passed off in the most pleasant manner. Not
the slightest circumstance happened to mar the
enjoyment of the occasion. Although there was
not the same facility for display as there
would • have • been at the Academy
of Music, every body was satisfied, and the mem
bets of the Eiingerbund and the Committee of
Arrangements have every reason to congratulate
themeelves upon the, success of their efforts to
make this carnival compare favorably with that
of last season. Gen. John F. Bailer was Master'
of Ceremonies, and Messrs. Wm. Moore, Wm.
Schulze, Christian , Greiner, H. Young, F.
Flehichman, F. Lindhorst, Charles Tech, a nd.
W. Stolze composed the Committee of Arrange
ments.
Trrfa MAENNERCHOR—It should not be forgot
ten that the animal bal morgue of, the Manner
chor will come off at the Academy ,of Music to
morrow evening. The arrangements made indi
cate that this ball will fully equal, if not surpass,
any heretofore given by the society. The former
carnivals of the Miinnerthor have been so
pleasant and•satisfactory that it seemed almost
impossible to get up anithbig in better style, but
the committee have left undone nothing which
would add to the brilliancy and magnificence of
the affair of to-morrow night. The scene at the
reception of Prince Carnival, in which all the
rangier s•of the society in their rich dresses will
participate, will be grand. •

NE IN JERSEY !MATTERS
Mona TENIMRINGI.—A number of inhabitants
of nom° of the lower townships of Camden
county have, tor' years past, favored a proposi
tion to divide the county, and thus institute for
themselves a now one, in order, as they say, to
Establish the seat of justice at a more convenient
point.. A very etror g opposition was manifested
to the locating of the Court. House in Camden,,
Wore and at the time it was so located, which has
never been mitigated, and this is only a new erup
tion of the same opposition. The cost of erectin;-,
public buildings for the use of the county pro
voked would be very heavy, which, ridded to the
cost of maintaining the necessary-officials, would_

I , dvsmageons to them than their present, ieeou
venience of coming to Camden to attend the
courts. Besidee, by the present arrangement the
whole county pays but little- more taxes than
Camden city. In 1867 the entire amount of tax
teceived from the county was $98,478, of which
rum Camden City paid $41.062 50, only.
$16,13b3 lees than oue-half_ of the whole
amount. So that should all the townships,
he included within the limits of the new county,
a thing which is not contemplated, and impossi
ble if it were, the citizens would be obliged to
pay double the amount of taxes now assessed on
them for State purposes, besides the required
sum for soar, I y expenditures. Application has,
however, been made to the Legislature for an act
authorizing the said division, but, it Is believed,

that body will not pass it, until they are, at least,
better satisfied that there is a substantial and im
perative necessity for such a division, and that a
majority of the inhabitants of the county would
become greatly benefited by the change.
THE RARITAN BAY SLIFYI'ENNION.-TllO suspen
sion of the running of the trains on the Raritan and
Delaware Bay Road by an order of the Court of
Errors, has been the cause ; of , the• holding of
numerous meetings by the citizens in various
places along the 'road, the ostensible purposes Pf
which have been to secure a removal of the in
junction. Many. of the citizens - have been sub
jected to great inconvenience by the stopping of
the trains, and being law-abiding citizens, they
aro taking the only proper measures , that can be
recognthll by authority of law to secure the right
to run them again.

Last Saturday night the office of Adams' Ex
press Company at Dresden; Wenltley county,
Tennessee, on the lino of the Northwestern Rail
road, between McKenzie and Hickman, was en
tered by burglars,who succeeded in blowing open
the safe with gunpowder and robbing it of its
contents. They obtained about $l,BOO in cur
rency. As soon as the affair was known, the
facts were telegraphed the superintendent of the
company and measures prolnptly taken for the
detection and arrest .of the rob
bers. Suspicion pointed to a well-known
character who goes by the name of Hagan, and
who had been seen at Dresden. Detectives were
put upon his track, and it was found that he had
gone North. He was closely followed, but suc
ceeded in evading arrest until last night. Mr.
Dougherty, agent of the Southern Express at
this eity,received a despatch from Louisville this
morning, stating that Hagan , had been arrested
there, with a large amount of money upon his
person. lie will no doubt be held at Louisville
to await a requisition from Governor Brownlow.
A Card from John G. Whittier.
The followingnote in relation to the Memo
rial Hymn sung at the dedication of the new
church in Georgetown, Mass., was pub
lished in the Boston Tranapript, of Friday
evening:
In writing the hymn for the Memorial
Church at Georgetown the author, as his
verses indicate, bad sole reference to the tri
bute of a brother and sister to, the membry of
a departed mother—a tribute which seemed
and still seems to him, in itself considered,
very beautiful and appropriate.
But he bas since seen, with surprise and
sorrow, a letter read at the dedication, impo
sing certain extraordinary restrictions upon
the society which is to occupy ,the house. It
is due to himself, as a simple act of justice, to
say that had he known of the existence of
that letter previously, the Hymn Would never
have been written, nor his name in any way
connected with the proceedings.

'cover, tor $1 60.
"Mr. Trollope again gives us one of his novels of Italian
private life of the present day. The descriptions of the
city of Siena—of the country around—of Savona, the de
solate town of the Maremma—are wonderfully sraphic.
and bear witness to their having been done from the life
by one who has lived in the places andloved them: The
scene in the gloat church of Savona is brought vividly
before the reader, who a ill not easily shake off the lim
preesion it produces. We would recommend the reader
to leain for himself the unraveling of the plot and the
tined result. The story will repay perusal, and the inter
est increases as it proceeds.—Athenesum.
