Iti THE course of the comment made by this
paper upon the first performance of Tangled
Threads, at the Arch Street Theatre, the very
objectionable interview in the first act between
"I)argle" and "Fanny" was severely censured.
The a/taut:at, rather than the language, was
offensive. The actor (Mr. Everly) was con
strained by the absolute requirements of the part;
and, in some slight degree, by the language, to
give the scene the character it bore. It would be
unjust, in view of this fact, and in view of the
actual arrangement of the original play as it ex
ists in manuscript, to attach the blame to the
actor, which should belong entirely to the author.
THE THEATRES.— Mr. John Brougham ap
peared at the Walnut last evening in his drama,
The Lottery of Life, which will be repeated to
night. While this play bas been shorn of its most
objectionable features, it is still of such a low
grade that Mr. Brougham cannot hope to attract
audiences of a very intellectual character. We
liope that during his engagement he will appear
in some of those personauons in which he has
teen wont to excite the enthusiasm of his admi
rers in days past. "The great Morlacchi" did not
appear at the Chestnut last . night, according to
announcement, but the management are entitled
to entire exoneration from blame. Great clan :era,
like Other great artists are apt to be careless
about their obligations; genius of the legs like
genius of the soul is inclined to eccentricity. It
may be regarded as nearly certain that Morlacchi
will appear in the Black Crook this evening. Miss
Fanny 'B. Price will appear in Tangled Threads
at the Arch to-night. The drama The Poor
Noldenula will also 'be given. A varied perfor
mance is announced at the American.
ELEVENTH STREET.OPERA HOUSE.—fin attrac
tive performance will be given , at this , popular
place of amusement. The Impeachment Trial
will be given, with the most accomplished.paem
bers of the company in the parts; a burlescrue on
Tangled Threads is also announced, together with
other burlesques, farces, singing by Cameron
and the company, negro eontiealities, and a mul
titude of other good things.
CONCERT HALL.—This evenin at Concert Hall
a panorama will be exhibited descriptive - ;of:a
journey through the Holy Land, Egypt, Syria
and Turkey. The pictures are of the handsomest
description, and are painted from photographs
and sketches taken especially for this purpose.
An eloquent speaker will deliver the descriptive
lecture.
TUE NEW WEST.—This Tuesday evening Major
Calhoun, who has just returned from an extended
tour in the far west, will deliver a lecture upon
the above theme, at, Green Rill Hall. corner of
Seventeenth and Poplar streets.
WYNAwk—The magician Wyman will give an
exhibition at Assembly Buildings to-night.

A Convention at the Corners to Nom
inate a County Ticket—Hoar Joe
iilsler Perverted the Resolution
Usually Adopted at such conven•
%lons,
POW DI7I6,CONFEDIIIT X ROADS, (Wick is in
the State uv Kentneky, April 26, 1868.—There
never will be peace or anything like it at the
Corners till that disturber Joe Bigler, and his
faithful adherent, alder and abetter Pollock . , are
shot or otherwise killed. In the olden time,
afore the inoggerashen nv the Ablishen era,
we hed a short way •uv disposin uv
eieb. It wuz a maxim in the South that
ther could be, peeve only where ther wnz
a perfeck yoonanimity uv sentiment and to bring
about that onenis of Idees—that delitefal con
cord wick wuz so desirable—we were in the habit
nv shootin or hangin the most stubborn nv those
wick didn't agree with the majority, and tarrin
and featherin those who were yet accessible to
Kentucky reason. By vlggerusly persooin this.
course the minorities in this vicinity wuz kept
tollobly small and controllable. Why these
cusses havent bin so treated passes my compre
hension.
Our Convensbun to nominate candidates for
county offices wnz held yesterday. I wnz cheer
man nv course, for I now okkupy that posishen
(since it wnz discovered that Capt. McPelter kin
rite he hez bin Eiekretary), and I felt a sinkin
sensashen when I saw that cuss Bigler and that
other cues Pollock enter the door.
Deekin Pogrom, ez he saw em, bled over.
Rising to his feet, the venerable -old patriark ex
claimed In a voice tremulous with emoshun, wat
in thunder he wuz there for.
"Josef, hey yoo a rite to set in a Dimocratit
convenshun, holdin, ez•yoo do, opinyuns the re
verse or Dimocratic ?"
"Deekin," returned this Bigler, "I carry in my
body Fedral lead—l , wuz under the Contedrit nag
in sixty battles, skirmishes and skedaddles. I
hey a certifikit to that effeck from the late
lamented John Morgan. That certifikit wood
admit me to a seat in any Diuiocratic Convenshun
in the North—shel it not be sufficient here in
Kentucky? Alars, the Profit is not without
honor save in his own Cross Roads."
And Josef let on he wept, when Pollock oaten
ta E•buslv handed him a pocket bandkercher.
"Ef I held any hetrodox views I hey repented
or cm, tne and Pollock, and we perpose to vote
for all yet resoloosbens, like frisky lambs wat is
glad to get back to the troo fold. Don't we, Pol
lock ?"
"Certin, we do. The Convenshun may go on
and count us in ez troo converts Irom Abilishen;
which, in view of the fact that my store hez bin
set on fire twict becoz of my awful opinions, I
may be sed to be litraily a brand pluckt from the
burnin. Go on."
Findin they wuz bound to stay, we went on.
The first thiLg in order wuz the adopehen uv re
,mlooshens, ez follows:
I. We resolved we bed the utmost confidence
in Androo Johnson, President uv the Yoonited
Mates. pervided he wuzu't impeached; of he wuz,
then we shood hey the privilege uv considrin him
worthy uv confidence or not, ez the circumstances
uv the case shood warrant.
2. That the Congrisuy the Yoonite.d States wuz
unconstitoosbnel body, with vvuz persistently
endeavriu td break up the Government uv the
l'oonited States, with we wuz ez persistently
t•trivin to save.
3. That the only hope uv Yoonun lay in the
displacement uv sich traitors ez Grant, Sumner
and Stevens, and the puttin their in places sich
gileless patriots ez Breckenndge, Brite, Vallan
dygum, et al.
4. That the thanks uv the Democracy is due
the people Tr: the South for their forbearance in
not rising to sweep the radical faction from the
face of the earth.
' At this pint Big,ler arose. He wanted to know
cf this coavenshen stylin itself Democratic,
wuz agoin to be satisfied with them resoloash
ent? - He called for the readin uv the regler one,
without which no Democratic platform wuz com
plete. He referred to the one dedicatin this Gov
ernment forever to white men. "Here it is," he
ecti :
Restdeed, That this Government wnz established
by white men, and that white men will keep it
intact for white men and their posterityforever.
"I demand, ez a white man, sed this Bigler,
"that this resolooslitin be added. Let every
white man, every proud Caucashen, who believes
in race, say 'aye,' and with emphabis."
And every one nv em hollered out "aye" with
all their mite.
"Good!" sed Bigler, "good. White men and
their posterity! wat a noble sentiment. Bay, 'aye'
to my resolooshun agin."
And they yelled "aye" agin.
"Now Pollock, brother in the troo faitlinesvly
baptized, will you open the door? Its better to
be a doorkeeper in the house uv Democracy than
to dwell in the tents of Ablishnism. Open the
door."
Wich Pollock did,and then entered—wat! Good
Heavens!
A HUNDRED MULATTO, QUADROON AND OCTOROON
:imams—TWO BY TWO
"Wat does this mean ?" shrieked I
"Who are them ?" gasped Deekin Pogrom.
"H-11 !" Bed Issaker Gavitt profanely.
"They are the posterity referred to in my reso
looshen. 'This Government wuz established by
white men and shel be preserved for white men
and their posterity,' I think it read. These are
the posterity. There may be a few here who
wood be barred out on the score fly bein the pos
terity of white women, but these are excepshuns.
I shoot] hey inclooded white women in my reso
looshun. The majority nv those here, ez yoo
kin easily determine by their color, are the pos
terity nv white men. They are not pure black.
Here is every shade from the subdood yallor of
mulatto up to the almost White uv him who hez
only a sixteenth part nigger blood in his veins.
UV course they will take seats and assist us in
nominatin the ticket with called us together."
"Uv course they won't!" roared Deekin Po
gram. "I will never set in a convenahen with
niggers—never! never!! never ! I !"
"Very good. If this is the yoonanimns deci
sion, we won't nominate any ticket I take the
responsibility uv bustin this Convenshen. But,
oh, Deekin! wat a goin back on yoor prin
ciples! Dare yoo deny that these shades,
these modified mokcs, are the posterity uv
white men? Deekin, should you cast yoor
beamin eye over this assemblage, wood
ent it rest parentally and lovinly onto yoor own
posterity? Oh, Deekin, of yoo go back on the
resoloosben which yoo yoonanimonely voted for,
don't, I beg nv yoo, go back onto nacher. Don't
desert yoor childrin.. Don't turn a deaf ear to
the pleading nv nacher, or a blind eye to,her sup
plications. Hannibal Pogrom, go and beg yoor
father to permit yoo, his posterity, skarcely
blacker than he and a cusaid site handsomer, to
mix in this yore caucus."
The Deekin indignantly left the room, and I
follered soot, wick eggsample wuz follered by all
uv us. Bigler and Pollock remained and nomi
nated a ticket uv these half-bleached cusses,
making it up entirely nv the Pogrom, Gavitt and
Punt niggers, ez these namea s they sed,hed weight
in the county! Who will deliver us from these
two bodies nv death.

1H WOMAN'S CLUB IN NEW TURK.
At the second regular meeting of the" Woman's
Club," which took place yesterday at Delmonl
co's, the following inaugural remarks wore made
by the President, Miss Alice, Cary, who presided
in person for the first time:
Ladies: As it will not be expected of me to
'make speeches very often. hereafter, I think I
may presume on your indulgence if I take advan
tage of this one opportunity. Permit me, then,
in the first place, to thank you for the honor you
have done me in assigning me the President's
chair. Why I should have been chosen, when
there are so many among you greatly more com
petent to fill the position, I am at a loss to under
stand; unless, indeed, it be owing to the fact that
I am to most of you a stranger, andyour imagi
nations have clothed me with qualifies not my
due. This you would soon discover for your
selves; I mention it only to bespeak your for
bearance, though in this regard I ventured
almost to anticipate your lenity, inasmuch as
you all know how untrained to business habits,
how ignorant of rules of order, and how unused
to executive management most women are.
If I take my seat, therefore, without confidence,
it is not without the hope of attaining, through
your generous kindness and encouragement, to
better things. "A woman's club ! Who ever
beard of the like ! What do women want of a
club? Have you any alms or. objects ?" These
are questions which have been propounded to
me day after day since this project was set afoot;
by gentlemen, of course. And I have answered,
that, in our humble way, we were striving to
imitate their example. You have your exclusive
clubs, I have said, and why should not we have
ours? What is so promotive of your interests
cannot be detrimental to us; and that vox find
these reunions helpful to yourselves, and bene
ficial to society,.we cannot doubt.
You gentlemen profess to be our representa
tives-- to represent us better than we could pos
sibly represent ourselves—therefore, we argue, it
cannot be that you are attracted by grand rooms,
fine furniture, luxurious dinners and suppers,ex
pensive wines and cigars, the bandying of poor
jests, or the excitement of the gaming table.
Such dishonoring suspicions as these arc not to
be entertained for a moment. '
Of our own knowledge, I have said, we are not
able to determine what special agencies you em
ploy for your advantage and ours in your de
liberative assemblies, for it has not been thought
best for our interests that se should even sit at
dour tables, let alone share your .councils; and
oubtless ' therefore, In our blindness and igno
rance we have made some pitiful mistakes.
In the first place, we have "tipped the tea-pot."
This is a hard saying—the head and front of the
charges brought against us, and we cannot but
acknowledge its justice and its force. We are,
In fact, weighed down with shame and humilia
tion, and impelled, while we are about it, to
make full and free confession of all our wild and
guilty phantasies. We have then, to begin at the
beginning,proposed the inculcation of deeper and
broader ideas among women—proposed to teach
them to think for themselves, and get their opin
ions at first hand, not so much because it is
their right as because it is their duty.
We have also proposed to open out
new avenues of employment to women—to
make them less dependent and less burdensome
—to lift them out of unwomanly self-distrust and
disqualifying diffidence into womanly self-respect
and self-knowledge. To teach them to make all
work honorable, by each doing the share that
falls to her, or that she may work out to herself
agreeably to her own special aptitude, cheerfully
and faithfully—not going down to it but bringing
it up to her. We have proposed to enter our
protest against all idle gossip, against all demor
alizing and wicked waste of time; also, against
the follies and the tyrannies of fashion, against
all external impositions and disabilities; in short,
against each and everything that opposes the full
development and use of the faculties conferred
upon us by our Creator.
We have proposed tqb lessen the antagonisms
existing at present between men and women by
the use of every rightful means in our power; by
standing upon our divine warranty and saying
and doing what we are able to say and do, with
out asking leave and without suffering hinder- •
ance. Not for the exclusive good of our own
sex, for we bold that there is no exclusive, and
no separate good—what injures my brother in
jures me, and what injures me, injurei
him, if he could but be made to know
it; it injures him whether or not he, is
made to know it. Such, I have said, are some of
our objects and aims. We do not pretend as yet,
to have carefully digested plans and clearly de
fined courses. We are as children feeliti n r , our
way m the dark, for it must be remembered that
it is not yet half a century since the free schools,
even in the most enlightened portions of our
country, were first opened to girls. How then,
should you expect of us the fulness of wisdom
which you for whole centuries have been gath
ering from schools, colleges, and the exclusive
knowledge and management of affairs.
We admit our short-comings, but we do feel,
gentlemen, that in spite of them an honest, earn
est and unostentatious effort toward broader cul
ture and nobler life, is entitled to a heartier and
more, sympathetic recognition than we have
as yet received from you anywhere; even our
representatives here at - home, the leaders of
the New York press, have failed in that magna
nimity which we have been accustomed to attri
bute to them. I
If we could have foreseen the sneers and sikr--
casms with which we have been met, they' - of
themselves would have constituted all-sufficient
reasons for the establishment of this woman's
club ; as it is, they have established a strong im
pulse towards' its continuance and final per
petuity. But, hales, these sneers and sarcasms
are, after all, but so many acknowledgments of
our power, and should and will stimulate us to
braver assertion, to more persistent effort toward
thorough and harmonious organization; and con
cert and harmony aro all that we need to make
this enterprise, ultimately, a great power for
good. Indeed, with such women as have already
enrolled their names on our list, I, for my part,
cannot believe failure possible.
Some of us cannot hope to see great results, for
our feet are already on the down-hill side of life,
the shadows aro lengthening behind us and ga
thering•before us, and ere long they will meet
and close, and the- pacet4 that have known us
know us no more. But if, when our poor work
is done, any of those who come after us shall and
in it some hint of usefulness toward nobler lives,
and better and more enduring work, we, for our
selves; rest content.
Miss Cary's remarks were warmly applauded
by the ladies of the club, of whom there were in
all about forty present. A lunch was partaken
of, after which, certain business was transacted
which we are requested not to publish. Hereaf
ter, ladies wishing to join the club must be pro
posed and balloted for as in men's clubs. Many
of the ladies present were young and distin
guished, and some of the toilets were superb.
A Sensation In Pittsburgh—Discovery
of a !Missing Dian.
[From the Pitt burgh Gazette of May 4th.]
The sudden and mysterious disappearance of
Mr. Anthony Freyvoegle, a well-known mer
chant of this city, some three months since, has
at last been partially explained by the finding of
his body floating in the Ohio river. The manner
and cause of his death, however, still is, and, in
all probability, Will forever remain a mystery.
The circumstances connected with. his disap
pearance have been eo extensively commented
upon by,the public press that our reader are all
doubtless familiar with them, and we will not,
therefOre, enter Leto details regarding it.
On Tuesday, January 21st, at about eight
o'clock In the evening, he left some' acquaintan
ces on paitOrld alley and started for home.
Not the el teat peculiarity in his demeanor or
in 'the elrc lencee attending him was noticed.
After that-:. until Friday evening last, noth
ing was ason'or hesid of him. Every effort was

made to solve the mystery; rewards were offered,
detectives endeavored to find traces of him; his
friends and family left no means untried to find I
the lost ono, but their untiring efforts were of
no avail, and no explanation whatever could be
given,of the affair.
About four o'clock on Friday afternoon Jacob
and John Lashell and John Hughes, while en
gaged in pumping' out a fiat-boat at Lashell's
Landing, opposite Sewickley, discovered the
dead body of a man floating in the river near by,
which they at once secured. and notified Coroner
Clawson by telegraph, stating in the despatch
that the body was believed to be that
of Anthony Freyvoegle. Saturday morn
ing the body was removed from
the water and examined, when unmistakable evi
dence of its being that of Mr. Freyvoegle was
found. The deceased was dressed in vest, pants,
shirt and boots, the coat and hat being gone.
The clothing was readily identified and one of the
boots bore the patch spoken of in the first ac
count of his disappearance. In the pockets of
the pants and vest were found Dopers which
rendered the identification complete. All bore
the name of "Anthony Freyvoegle."
Large }ire in Booton--$75.000 Loss.
(From the Boehm Herald of the 4th Ind.)
Shortly before 1 o'clock this morning fire was
discovered in the premises of the Boston Milling
and Manufacturing Company, located on Eagle
street, East Boston.
These works cover a considerable surface of
ground, and are used in grinding and preparing
,bones for manuring purposes. The works com
prised several two-story wooden buildings, and
they were all nestled so closely together that the
fire leaped from one to the other with ease and
rapidity, and a second alarm called over a por
tion of the fire department from tie city proper;
but in spite of the labors of the firemen the Barnes
raged for nearly two hours, and the work of de
struction was very - nearly complete.
In the buildings was a large amount of valua-_
ble, machinery, which was heated afid broken and
rendered comparatively useless. There was also
a considerable quantity of manufactured stock
on band which was ruined by fire and water.
The total loss Is estimated at $75,000,and there
was an insurance, we understand, of up
wards of $lO.OOO on the property. A branch of
the same company's works,in the same neighbor
hood, was badly damaged by fire a few months
ago. The origin of the fir. last night is unknown.
MUSICAL.
CAnt. WOLFSOHN'S BEETHOVEN MATINEES.—On
Friday next the tenth and last of this series, will
be given. That concerts of such a high order of
merit, appealing, of course, to a small fraction
of lie great public for appreciation and support,
should be sustained during the past season of com
mercial depression and stagnation, is an evidence
that the concert giver and his sub,;^..eist Of In
pretadon possess claims of no ordinary charac
ter. Many persons, even some of musical culti
vation- and refined rtaste, find three Beethoven
Sonatas at one sitting a rather heavy meal of
high-art pabulum for comfortable digestion, and
it is only when well rendered by agile fingers
and matured intelligence - that the body and mind
can find refreshment withottt fatigue.
There is a world of thought in these works of
Beethoven—mme or less clear to the easy-going
amateur who only seeks a merely sensuous enjoy
ment: but those whose aspirations are of a higher
character, love to truce out the mental working
of the composer, as he wanders through fields
and forests, across mountains and valleys, giving
lull play to his iniugination In the poesy and
fantasy which so characterized his country and
day.
To such an attempted analysis of the Sonata,
opus lot, in B lint, may not prove uninteresting
even if imperfect from its necessarily confined
limits. This Sonata was dedicated by Beetho
ven to his friend and patron, the Archduke Ro
clolph, of Austria, Cardinal and Prince-Bishop of
Olmutz. It was composed in 1818 and originally
published by Artoria and Company, who, in their
advertisement in the Wiener Zeitung, oeSeptem
ber 15, 1819, speak of it in glowing terms of
praise, and prefer it to all other of his creations
not alone in reference to its rich and abundant
fancy, but also for its artistic perfection and sus
tained style.
This Sonata is not the most beautiful; it is
simply among Sonatas what the Symphony with
chorus is among Symphonies. It is of equal
strength; it is overwhelming , sublime, and des
perate in its difficulties. It is hard to measure
such a work by the prescribed limits of the Son
ata form. It is an ode of Pindar; a hymn of
Tyrteus, found again on the lyre of Beethoven.
Ills cotemporaries, Viennese and others, did not
signal this mighty ship which bore Caesar and his
misfortune; its great sails were flying a long dis
tance beyond the horizon of their intelligence.
A thorough analysis of the Allegro might well
form the subject for a book of itself, so immense
a conception is it, so rich in a thousand details of
which the execution transcends the means of ac
tion of the piano. It might be supposed to be
long to a Heroic Symphony for the piano. The
second part of the _4 Ilegro presents a IllyTtO
tiro which has the effect of a prayer, an address,
or harangue before engaging in the Battle
of the Giants which is in question
here. This impulsive and exciting episode
breathes somewhat the Ruth and heroism of
K irner's Prayer Before Battle. This Allegro, the
most astonishing, perhaps, of all the Allegros
among the Sonatas, could not have been under
stood if the way for it had not been prepared by the
other Sonatas which have preceded it, the most
considerable of which are so many terraces
which this colossus overlooks.
The Scher:o is quite a picture of fancy—it is a
poem by itself, a sonata. The diversity of styles,
and the mechanical resources which it demands
make it a study for pianists of the first rank. The
Adagio, a grand maw with variations yet
grander. The style for variation could go no
further. There is a curious fact connected with
this movement. Ferdinand Ries had been charged
by Beethoven to sell in London the manuscript
of the sonata. When there ho received a letter
from the composer begging him to add two
notes to the adagio, la and do sharp.
Ries was greatly surprised that he
should have to add two notes
to a composition of this stamp, entirely finished
since more than six months, and which seemed
to preclude the possibility of the least change.
The effect was however marvellout. The trio
notes, la and do sharp, now form the first meas
ure of the adagio, and are, so to speak, two steps
leading to the door of the sepulchre. Beethoven
had aimed so high in the first allegro that no
other resource of style remained for the finale
but the fugue. "Beethoven," says ono of his
most ardent admirers, "was not the man for fu
gue, and he was never less at home than in this
nightntare—rudis indigestague moles!"
Mr. Wolfsohn, in this last of his concerts, will
he assisted by Mr. Theo. Haboltuan, the well.
known German tenor, and our talented towns
man, Mr. Wm. Stoll, Jr., a virtuoso on the violin,
of great fulfilment, but of larger promise. The
variety of the programme will make this one of
the most pleasant entertainments of the series,
which will thus close with brilliant eclat.
RICIIINGS OPERA. TROUPE.—Linda di Cha
mounix was produced at the Academy of Music
last night to a moderately largo audience. This
evening, in accordance with general request,
Wallace's charming opera, Maritana, will beer

clude lilies Illebitiga_, Mrs. 'Seguin, and Messrs
Campbell, Castle, reakea and Arnold. The house
is always well filled when this opera is announced,
and there is, even reason to believe the
audience will be unusually large to-night. To
morrow evening Mr. Wm. Cattle, the popular
tenor of the company, will have a benefit, when
The Bohemian Girl will be presented in splendid
style. It Is hardly necessary to urge Mr. Castle's
claims upon the musical public. He ranks rem
