It is a remark ably able number. A judicious association of lighter and graver articles affords a bonne ballade for (very palate. After the opening novel—the "Dallas Galbraith" of Mrs. R. Harding Davis, which it is no longer necessary for the reviewer to praise—the next prose article is a second pa 'per by Prof. S. H. Dickson, on the "Correlation of Forces." Mr. Lloyd P. Smith contributes, under the title "Quotation Marks," a delightfu chapter on an always charming subject, the ace' dental or voluntary resemblances to be found be different writers; the essay is, we will not say the fruit but the flower, of a life's reading— the table-talk of a confirmed book-man. "The Situation of Europe," by Louis Blanc, is a news letter which proves again how fortunate were the publishers of the Magazine in securing the pen of this first of French political critics. "Ranlock Branch" is a tale of the war by J. T. McKay. "Opium Eating" is the story of a 3 oung collegian who first yielded to and finally escaped from the tyranny of the drug; it is a useful little contribu tion to the literature of nerve-serfdom, com menced long ago by De Quincy. Mrs. Mary H. Eastman follows with a short sketch of au "Old Volunteer." Prof. John 8. Hart inserts an able article, only too limited, presenting a picture of the existing Common School System of New Jersey, and calling attention to the fact that this exceptional State has managed to steer clear of that bane of State-education. political interference in intellectual affairs.

Down the tide my beauty goes, • 'Wafted like a scentless rose ; Dew-like on her rippling curls Shines my gift of wedding pearls I the torch of death must follow, Underneath the dismal hollow, short delaying, briefer thrift, Biteslng told with clerkly thrift, Naught to cheer the fainting sense But the heart of Innocence. Could she see where I look down, Loathing her false Illy crown, She would quickly flit away, With a little coy dismay— With a question In her smile, If my wrath is worth the while. Easy pardon will she gain, Helpful church will hide the stain. Open cunningly the door That kept out her paramour. I have been o'erecen, o'erheard To pronounce a hasty word. One in yonder council dread Bets a price upon my head, Wins what I fing hotly down, Beauty shorn of Beauty's crowp, I shall disappear, nnknelled, In a faint remembrance a old. Decent in her widow's weeds, Who shall deem her husband bleeds?....

ITALXAR Os ERA.—The Maretzek-Harriaon Ita lian Opera Troupe inaugurated their brief season at the Academy last night with the opera of Norma. If the excellence of this pefformance is to be accepted as an augury of the superior char acter and the success of thew which are , yet to come; we may justly anticipate an unusually brilliant season. It is not extravagant to slay that the performance last night was one of the finest ever given in this city. The audience, fregt_ thevery fi rst' seemed- t0.... be •Mu absolute sy mpathy with the artists. The opening chorus was encored, and Signor Anto nucci, after singing the few iiptea allttfted • Oraveso,nlh the first scene, Was applauded with a heartiness that must have beeirvery pleasant, partly from the fact that it was probably entirely unexpected:, For a Philadelphia audience the tnthusiasm was so great and so demonstrative that the more staid opera-goers probably re garded it as unseemly, and contrary to the cold blooded- prteedents long ago established , and generally adhered to. - - - - - - It was natural that the artists should have caught something of the spirit that existed the house, and the consequence was that the opera was given with the greatest daeh and fervor. Mad. Parepa Rosa sang more exquisitely PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 18, 1868, than ever. The Costa Diva was given with the most wonderful precision and delicacy. The soft fluty toms of Pampa's voice seemed to co into every nook and corner of the melody, and the most delicate shades of meaning wore interpreted with matchless skill And this was the case with all the music of the part. Without the slightest apparent effort, but with a vivacity that was pesitivt ly exhilarating the fair eantatrice dashed through the notes and excited the enthu siastic applause of her bearers. Mad. Parepa ven acted in a better manner than is her custom. Usually she does not excel greatly in this respect, but it would be difficult to find any fault with her attitudes last evening. Madame Natal' Testa as "Adalgisa," did full justice to the part. She seemed to throw bcr whole soul Into the music, and she was rewarded by applause nearly, as hearty as that which was bestowed on Parepa. Signor Paneani as "P 01110," did excellently well. He gave the music of the part entire, and he sang it with precision, care, and spirit. The chorus was very large and well trained, and the orchestra was excellent. This evening-free Diavolo will be given with Madame Parepa Rosa as "Zerlina." A very fine perform ance may be anticipated : and we recommend every one to attend.

The Bishop, in conse quence, ordered the curates in all districts through which General Lersundi was to pass on his tour through the country not to ring the church bells in his honor. Lersundi re- Autued and telegraphed to Madrid, whence he received for reply to make himself be respected. The directors of the Admmistration are unani mous on the subject.

Tha Paris correspondent of the London Daily Neill, writing on Feb. 29, says: Baron de Bud berg, the Russian Ambassador, who has just re turned to Paris from St. Petersburg, after a long come. narrowly escaped assassination in the re freshment room of the Verviors station in Bel gium. While at table, Baron de Meyen dorff, son of a celebrated Russian diplo matist, came up to him and said, "Bon Jour, Baron?" "What, are you here?" replied Baron de Budberg, who evidently knew him. An alterca tion followed In the Russian language, and after the lapse of a few seconds, Baron de Meyendorff struck Baron de Budberg In the face, and was in the act of drawing a sword from a stick to as sault him, when M. Beckmann, a writer on .She staff of the Temps, who saw the movement, • rushed upon. him and snatched the sword-cane from his hand. Thereupon Baron de Meyendorff drew a revolver from his pocket and leveled it at the Russian Ambassador. The latter exclaimed, "Secure him, he is a madman." A waiter at, the buffet, with much presence of mind, took away the Mato), and the Baron do Moyendortf was taken into custody by the police. It seems that some time ago the Baron had sent a chal lenge to a French gentleman, who refused to fight him because Baron do Budberg had certified that he was not in his right senses. Desiring to avenge himself on the Russian Ambassador for this slight, Baron de Meyendorff had laid in wait for him at the Belgian frontier for a whole fort night. The affair, which Is recounted to me by an eye-witness, is yet imperfectly known in Paris. It will naturally Great° a great sensation. A Belga of Terror—A Chapter of nor. der, Lynching and Robbery. [Corteepondence of the N. Y. World.] Di2svEll. Colorado, Feb. 21.—The comparative moral quietude which Denver has for along time past enjoyed has been seriously disturbed during the past week by the perpetration of several clinics which tend to bring back to the 'old in habitants thoughts of the early days of the city, when life and property were both so precarious. We thought when the city was once rid of that class of men who "defy God :aid limn" and set at defiance all laws, divine and human, that we should not be troubled again. but that the newly-organized towns throughout the country would absorb them, and they be thus lost sight of. This class of outlaws inva riabh flocks to the places where there is great excitement and a comparative lack of law and order. Thns It was when Denver first began to have a localbabitation; so more recently with Juleslittrg;_ so with the "magic city" of Cheyenne, which, like a mushroom, sprang up in the night. For several months the papers have been filled with accounts of crimes ainft the OM laws at last becoming so bold and dangerous, a vigilance committee was organized, which made summary work with a few, and gave to Many others notice to leave that territory in:garden It was feared that many of them would come back to this city, and commence their work of plunder in this vicinity. It appears the suspicions were well grounded, and that Denver has received her share. Last Mondey_, a:conple of worthies, formerly in the employ of Welle, Fargo•Ss Co..' at Cheyenne, after sojourning in this city a few days, passed into the country towards the South. They tra veled two or three days, stopping at night with various ranchemen on the route, who fed them and gave them beds. At last they stopped with an old elan named Hull, who supplied their wants, and, in the morning,as they were about to leave, loaded their pistols for them. Instead of leaving, they hid on the table-land, according to their confessions, and discussed whether it were not better to kill the old man and secure his horse and what little money he might have. According ly, at about eight o'clock that night, they made a descent upon his house, and killed him, empty ing the entire contents of one revolver into his body. One of the men became frightened, ran to a neighbor's, about half a mile distant, and giving himself up, told the story of the murder, throwing the blame upon his com panion, an Italian named Marro. The Italian made his escape, but was caught the nest day near the "Divvide" some thirty miles from here, and about five miles from the scene of the mur der. He confessed to the crime and was hung to the nearest tree. The same was done with the one who gave himself up. lie was lynched the same day.. They arostill hanging, and will pro bably never be cut down. ' ' • The some day some three horse-thieves, who for some tirm t ait had been raiding through the ranches, rues off horses and. other stock, were etiiiebt text miles from. the- soene of the warder mentioned above, on .Cherry CreW, and at once ,requested to "climb a tree." This makes live men who have been hung within two days—two for murder and three for stock stealing. Three days after the hanging of these men the news came to me of the murder of a man in Cen tral City. It was a cold-blooded affair, the object being the securing of a small amount of money.

He will be tried at the text term of Court. When arrested, threats of lynching were freely expressed by the crowd, and it is a great wonder they escaped the rope. The sooner the country Is rid of this class of persons the better. The experience of 1860, and a few years later, when so much villainy ran riot hcre, has taught the people that the best and surest way to check the progress of wholesale murder and robbery is to hang the perpetrators to the nearest tree. It has the effect of making others cautious in the future, as the swinging body of a victim is a terrible warning, and they have no particular penchant for halters. Strange Suicide In Baltimore. (From the Baltimore Sun of March 17.3 A ease of suicide, causing great excitement, occurred yesterday afternoon at the Male Gram mar and Primary School No. 15, on Republican street, near Saratoga. From tho facts learned it appears that a lad named Arthur Campbell, aged 14 years, son of Mr. Charles Campbell, who is in the employment of Thomas Winans, Eag, was a pupil of the above-mentioned_public school.

Into the school, and, by way of punishment for his transgression, he was, ills stated, not allowed to play with his schoolmates. Ile told one of the female teachers of his feel ings in the matter, threatening, as it is alleged, to kill himself if denied the privilege of playing with his schoolmates. No notice was taken of his remarks, and yesterday afternoon, es one of the little children of the school went into the yard, lie found the hodv of yOLIDg Campbell sus pended by the neck in a shed in the yard attached to the school. The boy ran into the school-room and informed one of the lady teachers, who at first thought nothing of it. She afterwards, how ever, informed the principal, Mr. J. S. Arthur, who went into - the shed, where he found the boy hinging by the neck, with his knees resting on the ground. Re was immediately cut down, but life was extinct.

QUARTER SESSIONS - Jndge Peirce. -- John Struthers, colored, was put on trial charged with perjury. The charge grew out of the following state of affairs : The defendant enlisted in a regi ment cf colored troops, and was stationed at Camp William Penn, then under tho command of General Louis Wagner. At the close of the war, when the defendant was discharged, he caused suit to be brought in the District Court, in the name of his brother, alleging that General Wag ner took from him at camp a gold watch which had been entrusted to the defendant by his sister to be delivered to his brother, the plaintiff In this action. The defendant was a witness In the District Court, swearing to the possession of the watch, and that General Wagner took it from him at camp and did not return it. The jury returned a verdict for plaintiff. After the verdict, General Wagner ascertained from the sister of the defendant that she did not give him a watch, and the plaintiff himself disclaimed all knowledge of the case. A now trial was granted, but owing to the failure of the plaintiff to come forward and prosecute his case, a non-suit was rendered. The present charge of perjury grows out of that case.
