MUSICAL,.
.. J.a Okandr DucHEssi:.—This evening tlte
trench opera company will appear at the
Academy of Music in the opera The Grand#
Buck (esc of Gcrolstinc. -
A correspondent of the Bulletin writes cpn
cerulng the Grande Buckcssc ns follows:
Many journal* professing to bo not Only in
tensely critical, bn t unprejudiced cowmOUtsenßed
judges, have seen fit to assail this Jitflo musical
nothing: as if it were worthy of having all the
guns of magnificent comparison opened upon it,
and Its death .thereby caused in the-most sum
mary manner. Of course the music is trash, but
that the effect upon the community of lta , 1 ,0r *
formaneo is highly demoralizing, and that it ex
erts an influence, very, detrimental to the
welfare of tho art, we most emphatically deny.
If the affair was poorly done; if the acting Was
bad, and the singing not good, wo might endorse
these opinions. In the majority of instances, wc
think the ideas of these elevated critics Insincere.
No man ®f anv musical or dramatic knowledge
pretends to deny that whatis true of the theatrical
stage is also trap of the operatic. Tragedy and
comedy are distinct, and cannot be compared.
Low comedy is none tho less appreciated because
high cbmedy exists, and opera bouffe not less in
teresting because opora comique is considered
above it. Farces are trash when, we speak of
good tragedy, and opera bouffb the same when
works are mentioned whose names Bhonld not be
prostituted to such a comparison. We go, for ex
ample, to bear a grand romantic or comic opera,
and the masterly composition is instructive and
amusing to musical persons under nil circum
stances. But no one can fully appreciate such a
magnificent work without previous study. We
cannot take the compositions of any master,
no matter how .great he may be, as the stand
point from which to place all. others.
Every one will admit that everything artistic
must he considered according to the particular
school, oreven cl&BB,in Which it belongs. The idea
of comparing the compositions of Jacques Offen
bach, a writer of the free French Vand
riile description, to those of Rossini , (as
a prominent musical journal of Boston does),
the , greatest and most sublime of
Italian composers, Is as absurd as to speak dispar
agingly Of Bnckstone’s comedies because Shakes
peare wrote Hamlet. The one amuses, the other
cultivates. Recreation, separatodjCrom all study,
is at times beneficial, and when tab performance
of music, be it ever eo light, is jute, the entertain
ment at once becomes a help towards introtlacing
among a certain class of people whocannot justly
appreciate a higher style a taste for the art which
may eventuate in an ambition to become more
, thoroughly versed in works of a different kind.
As to the immorality of the Grande Ducketse it is
more easily imagined than perceived. When we
say that it is stnclly French we at once know
that to expect the Buchesse to move in a particu
larly moral atmosphere would be simply ridicu
lous. We must overlook little “Frencby” pecu
liarities or the text will come to us mutilated.
The success of the piece does not depend upon
those double entejidres oi which our Boston friend
complains,bnt upon the brilliant, trashy,sprightly
music aqd the funny, cleverly conceived charac
ters, which are eo amusing, pe-ticulariy to an
American audience. .
That Offenbach is, or ever can be,a great com
poser, or even one of ordinary ability outside of
nis particular vein, we are astonished that any
should be so rash as to admit. Bat when a mu
sical paper of high position, whose opinion of
the man is so low that we can scarcely imagine
it, dreams of exaltlog him to a comparison with
Rossini and even Mozart, the very acme of
astonishment is reached. It is an insult to those
great men, to the person of one and memory of
the other, to employ the mention of their works
for the purpose of putting down clownish Offen
bach. No one pretends to say that LaGrandc
Buckcsee, La lie Parisienne, La Belle Jlellne, or
any of these little musical farces are worthy of
being criticised by the; light of artistic refine
ment and cultivation,and our neighbor of the
“Hub” has conferred npon Mr. Bateman’s
company a very great compliment by deigning
to rive the character of their performance so
hign a position. , But the Grande Buchtsse as it
is, a pretty unpretending little opera “Bouffe,”
capitally acted and sung, as only the French can
do it, with but very-few '-objectionable features,
and those so Interwoven in the idiomatic Frencn
as to ke only apparent to a practiced ear,has had,
and will continue to -have for a time, an
agreeable bold upon American audiences.
From Paris to Vienna one finds these
Offenbach effusions,, and the perform
ances are participated 1b by no mean profes
sionals. Mine.- Schneider, at the Varietids, in
Paris; Mme. Delvil, in Brussels; M’lle. Geistinger,
in Vienna, and another of celebrity in Berlin, are
artistes whose talent and ability have contributed
in no slight degree to the success of opera bouffe
upon the continent.
Take apiece for what it is, not for what it
might bo. Consider the manner in which it is
performed, and from whence it comes, before
giving it a place among things of a different
character.
Promenade Concert and Hof.— Tickets for

AMUSEMENTS.
Tin: Theatres.—At the Arch this evening
Under the Gaslight will be performed. Mr. and
Mps. Barney Williams will appear at tho Walnut
to-night in The Lakes of Kitlarney and the Irish
Lion. At the Chestnut The ' Flying .Send will be
given. The American offers a varied bill.
Tiif. Flying Scud.—Last evening Bouclcault’s
drama The Flying Scud was produced at the
Chestnut street Theatre, after extensive prepara
tion. Tho play is thoroughly and completely
English, aud is excellent in its way. Flying Scud
is a race-horse,and he is the centre aronnd which
all of the characters revolve. .The writer seems
to have bedn familiar witb the tricks of the turf
men, with the rascality practised on all sides by
those who stake money upon various horses,and
aB far as au American,acquainted with the Derby
only through tho medium pf books and papers
can understand, the play faithfully ‘de
picts the operations ot the sporting
fraternity. The piece is placed upon the stage iu
first-rate stylo. The scenery is entirely new. and
one or two of the views, the Waterloo bridge,
the Koec course, and the Calais sands are very
mnch superior to ordinary stage effects. The
.ust scene particularly, is very beautiful. Of the
actors it is hardly necessary to speak'at,present.
With the exception of a few slight blunders,
such as occur Inevitably on “first ulgbtß,” they
played admirably. Mr. Smith, Miss Orten, Mr.
Leake and Mr. McManus were especially good.
The play will be repeated this evening.
Philadelphia Odeba House.—At this popu
lar place of amusement to-night, will be per
formed a new burlesque entitled Under the Lamp
post. This is a sharp andVacy satire, and Is filled
with good local and political hits, funny Inci
dents, and laughable situations. All of the most
accomplished members of this excellent company
appear in the ports. In addition to this there
will be the usual miscellaneous entertainments,
comprising singing, dancing, negro impersona
tions by Mr. Frank Moran and other popnlar
performers, with burlesque, farce and extrava
ganza by the quantity.
Eleventh Street Opera House.—The capital
burlesque Of (how, or Maximilian's Avengers will
be given this evening at this theatre. The pfpee
is of the best ofits kind, and cannot fall to please
those who see It. There will also be vocal and
instrumental mttsic, force, dancing and Ethiopian
eccentricities.
Dickens's Beadings —Mr. Charles Dickens
will read from his own worksat Concert Hall, on
the evtutogs of Thursday and Friday of this
week. .... ..
1 Hew nauior Street Bailwar Tracki.
To the Editor of the Evening Bulletin;' —With
your kind indulgence I beg leave to present a
plan for street railways—ltbelng an improve
ment on and different from the present system
In use. The main features are the advantages
gained in the new style of the wheels and the rails.
The wheels are blind wheel*, or without flanges,
and the rails are fiat rails, laid even or flash with
the top of the street pavement. These two prin
ciples, combined with certain arrangements, &1-.
low the cars to be ran off the track when deelred,
in case of a temporary obatraction or blockade of
l- the etreetS OP their usual route, by fires or other
<'au:-ee, and to return to and ran ou the railway
again when required. .. ” • , .
Another requisite for city railroads Is, that the
,ordinary vehicles in traversing or crowing the
track should meet with no obstruction. It is
also well understood by railroad companies.that
o great portion of the wear and injury to the rail
road track Is caused by running ordinary yehlclos
’ and carriages promiscuously Into and from the
grooves of the rails, as. well as along the ttackin
the ordinary street travel where the track is laid.
In adapting cars to use on city railroads it be
comes important that each car be fittedso that it
will run-with precision and ease on the rails pro
vided, but’ to accomplish this purpose it becomes
necessary to Use plain or blind wheels without
flanges. These wheels all have a smooth, broad
horizontal face, and; consequently have a wide
flat bearing upon the track. They are prevented
from running oft' the rails by guide wheels which
are hung under the cars, and may be raised and
lowered^together or independently of each other,
being connected with a windlass attachod to the
ordinary brake—or in other words, a double cap
stan with one shaft within another, each; with
a crank or hand Wheel, upon the' top,
to be operated by tho driver. The track
or rails are formed with a smooth flat face,
but having a deep, narrow groove or channel in
the centre, which receives the central flange upon
the guide or-lead wheels. The groove into which
this flange enters may be about five-eighths of an
inch wiae and two inches deep. The width of
this groove will thus bo less ~than the width of
the tires of the vehicles upon the street. They
may therefore run upon the rail without enter
ing the groove,which entering the present shaped
groove & now so great a cause of complaint and
damage, by its tendency to break the wheels of
carriages and other vehicles, as well as the over
strain inflicted on horses drawing heavy-loaded
wagons and carts and drays, to clear the track
for an approaching car. .
Having seen in the columns of the Public
Ledger within a few day 6 notice of the adoption
of the foregoing principle of my plan in Paris for
the street railways there, which plan I originated
upwards of twelve years ago, and obtained
patents forinihls country and in England,l feel,
■ under the circumstances, warranted in setting
forth its main features for the consideration and
benefit of your readers and the public generally.

Hr* Sherman’s Funding Bills
The funding bill reported by Mr. Sherman
from the Senate Committee on Finance,, con
tains one section which fairly entitles the bill to
be called “An Apt for the indefinite postpone
ment of specie payments." The - section re
ferred to Is the 6th, which provides that , the
holder of the newSper cent, bonds may, at, any
time, present the.eamc to the Treasurer of tho
United States, and demand and must be paid
/lawful money for the principal and interest
thereon, as.long as the whole legal tender circu
lation is less than 400,000,000 dollars.
The practical result ot this provision would be
that tho amonnt of greenbacks outstanding
would never be Ie 6s than -100,000,( 00 dollars, and
with that amount' of greenbacks necessarily
issued, constituting as they do the lawful basis
for banking, by which their power as currency is
mutiplied fourfold, we shonla not see specie pay
ments during tins century.
At present we hove an issue of 356,000,000 dol
lars of greenbacks, but they are not fnliy banked
upon. The 'whole community has been so inf
pressed with a wholesome fear of contraction of
the basis of banking, that our past issues have
not bad their fall effect. This fear has-been in a
measure calmed by the anti-contraction resolu
tions recently passed. The result is that the
money market Is glutted and the premium on
gold is advancing. Even without any more nu
wlec legislation, we are going from specie pay
ments and not towards it.
If, however, this Fifth Section should be enacted,
and the five percent, bonds be Issued under
the law, having the privilege of conversion into
greenbacks at the option of the bidder, contrac
tion wonld be impossible. We should be saddled
with our $400,000,000 of greenbacks until ail the
bonds should be retired,and with the full inflation
due to such a basis of banking.
By the present National Banking Law, the
banks are required to hold at Icaßt one dollar in
lawful money or specie for every four dollars of
circulation and deposits (both being in reality Id
currency). Thjj circulation is tho people’s cur
rency, which we carry abont with us tor small
transactions, and the deposits arc the merchant
currency, which is keptln the bank to be drawn
on for larger payments. Each of these kinds of
currency & exchangeable for the other at the will
of the owner, and, both together constitnte the
whole currency of the country- They are
naturally subject to similar laws and exert
similar influences npon prices by their redundancy
or scarcity. * v
An issue of 400,000,000 dollars of irredeemable
greenback legal tenders, made permanent by the
nature of the law, would therefore form a basis
for 1,600,000,000 dollars of deposits and circula
tion, that is to say, of currency redeemable in
greenbacks, and, therefore, of equal value.
It is hard to say wbat wonld be the effect npon
prices of such an enormous currency, but it can
not be doubtful that with it, we should be per
manently cursed with a currency of fluctuating
vulue, about as nt for its purpose as would be an
India rubber yardstick for measuring cloth. We
know from dally experience what the nature of
such a currency is. A fixed basis of $100,000,000
wonld not make it better than it is now. The ef
fect of favorable, or adverse exchanges, would be
felt not only by an easy of a tight money market,
but by a rise or fall in the premium on gold. The
effect wonld be both on the quantity and the
quality of the currency.
It is tlmo that onr public men should know the
inconvenience to the merchants and expense to
the people of an clastic currency.
The merchants are compelled to buy abroad
lor gold and to sell at home for paper; to buy at
home for paper and sell abroad for gold; conse
quently, they are frequently in a position when a
heavy fluctuation in gold would ruin them.
Prudent men feel compelled to hedge such trans
actions bv other transactions in gold to an equal
extent, but the contrary way, so as to guard
themselves from such disasters. The result is
that the transactions of the Gold rooms in our
large cities bear a large proportion to the whole
foreign commerce of the country. The expenses
of these proceedings, of course, fall upon the
consumers and these expenses are not small.
The bill provides that the debt, priuci pal and
interest, shall be payable In gold, and, if'the
übovc views are correct, that the currency of the
country shall be depreciated paper. It is hard to
discover wisdom in this policy.
Those who imagine that a return to specie
payments can be made a pleasant process are.
mistaken. There is in it too great analogy to
the reformation of a drunkard to be at all plea
sant; and in both cases alike, the longer the re
formation is deferred the harder it Is.
Perhaps it is too much to expect' mere politi
cians to advocate a policy which will restore the
currency through a transition state of suffering,
but let us hope that we have Statesmen who will
have the courage to do what, is right though it
may be not popular at the time. T. „

Jefferson Medical, Collf.ge.—' The high re

is known throughout the world, and among the

in this city can always be found young men of

greatly, and while some of them were obliged to
close up, others had barely a Sufficient number
of students to keep them alive. Since the close

Cruelty, to Horses. —lt is bad enough for the
poor horses to drag heavy loads over the frozen
ground with their polished Shoes slipping at
every effort to gain a foothold, without compell
ing the suffering animal* to submit to the bra
tautv of savage drivers. Many bipeds who are
more of brutes than the quadrupeds that have
the misfortune to be under their charge, apply
the lash most unmercifully aB a remedy
for every difficulty, without any regard to
the fact that the horee is In no way
responsible for it. We saw one of this class
of drivers this morning,' who was with
car No. 19 of the Fifth and Sixth streets railway
line. The car Had four horses attached to it, and
the leaders kept their feet and drew their share of
the load with great difficulty. The savage driver
raft beside the- horses for a good portion of a
square, lashing the poor, trembllngbeasts in the
most cruel manner, and exciting the earnest in
dignation of passers-by. If the Society for the
Prevention o( Cruelty to Animals would confine
its exeinsive attention to the abuse of horses, It
wQuld find ample employment, particularly at
this period of lie year.
