Mr. Rjddleberger 1 now thought to be contemplating a duel with a man named Smith. Persons who charge a night for a few wild notes should keep their larynx well wrapped up. If the harmony In tbe grand old Republican party continue much longer we fear somebody -will get hurt.

If the ticket speculators had sold the market short, instead ot going they -would be happier to-day. Tokmt political trad-fly, has made his appearance before warm weather has set in. How do you account for that Thb entire absence of Gainsborough hats at the Opera Festival shows that Cincinnati girls have large appreciation of the proprieties. We thank thee, Madame Path, for that word. Hereafter none of us great singers ill be troubled with hoarseness; we will have acute laryngitis.

Dear Madame Path: We hasten to inform you that a soiled stocking tied around the neck on retiring is an excellent remedy for sore throat. There is talk of organizing a Blaise Club in Springfield. The Republic attributes the movement to "a local disposition to give the tail of the British lion a twist." Thb third Trojan has expressed his great anxiety to "meet Sullivan." After Mr. Sullivan shall have cleaned out the town he will probably get a rest from that qnarter. This is the day Statesman Wabben kindly fixed for Jor Moses to knock him down again.

Another round or two and statesman Warres will be carried from the field. The Chicago papers admit tbat Oscar Wilde has certain literary ability, but they do not look upon his lecture as exciting when compared with a circus or a wheat deal. Representative McClcrb has got Wilde's lecture, the Sullivan-Ryan prixe-fight and the small-pox scare inextricably mixed. See McClubx's speech in the Washington dispatches. Mr.

Coupling's successor in the Senate wants the proceedings of the Guitkau trial printed for general distribution. We understand that Messrs. Lapham and Gcitkau are the only persons afflicted with this desire. The appointment of John C. New to be Assistant Secretary of the Treasury will have a rasping effect on at least one sin- sick soul hereabout.

If New should 'be promoted to Folder's place but we for bear for the present. A vigorous protest is being made against tbe city's exaction of a certain percentage from the gross receipts of the Brush Elec tric Light Company. The argument Is that the Company ought to be considered the benefactor, not the city. The statement is made that the leader of a country church choir rode In fifty miles on a mule to bear Madame Patti last night, and, on learning that she would not sing until Thursday, braced himself against a lamp-post and swore until be got the acute laryngitis. Thb unexpected but neceseaiy postponement of the appearance of Patti, which waa a keen disappointment to some lovers of music, has proved a good fortune to many who were anxious to attend the Festival who did not feel competent to meet the demands of the ticket speculators.

Music Hall was filled last evening by thousands wlio, but for the laryngitis incident, would not have had the opportunity to have witnessed any of the operas. The management are to be con gratulated upon their skill In making even misfortunes: prove blessings. A Bru, which, if passed by both branches of the General Assembly, will out-Stubbs the Stubbs law came within one vote of passing the House of Representatives yesterday. Briefly, it provides for the closing on Sunday all places where spirituous and malt liquors are sold. It in expected that tbe vote will be roconsid ered to-day, and that those in favor of the passage of the bill will- be reinforced by sixmemberswhowereabsent yesterday.

It 1 claimed that the bill can be passed, with several votes to spare. Our Columbus gives the- yeas and nays, and the names of the members not voting. Ax Arkansas colored damsel discovered. few days since, an effectual method of bringing recalcitrant lovers to terms." She had been wooed by a gentleman, of color named Jacksos Holmes, and she bad reciprocated his compliments by meeting him half-way. Suddenly the lover grew remorselessly forsook his Dulcinea del Arkansas.

The scorned woman, whose real name is Martha Hodges, was not disposed to be thus cast off even as superannuated shoe or as an umbrella that would no' longer shed the rain. She was too retiring to go into tbe Court with suit for breach of promise besides, if a Judgment in her favor were obtained, ti ere was no likelihood ot its being satisfied unless she levied on an old whitewash brush or a keg ot slacked lime. She hadn't the muscular ability to, bunt satisfaction with a cat-o-nine-tails. Luckily," her old grand-bother was versed in things supernatural. From her she learned how to 'put spells" upon her balky lover, and so on to Jack-Son Holmes the' spells went.

The 'bewitched" lover naturally kicked against this' kind of medicine, and appealed to Che lav to protection. He went before an Arkansas Magistrate, and caused a warrant to be issued, charging Martha with riding broomsticks; and with emitting blue flames from her nostrils. Martha was arrested and arraigned, when she not only pleaded guilty to the but even acknowledged that she was the cause of Jackson's having a choking sensation in his dreams, and that by her spells rabbit' feet and bird's claws, scattered about his door-yard, had chuckled and. laughed at him until be bad wasted away to mere shadow, no longer able even to support the weight of his brush and bucket. The lover was anxious that punishment most summary be inflicted.

He was even willing that the old New England prescription of fire and fagots be administered. The Msgiatrate, with true Arkansas chivalry, however, was unwilling to punish a woman, even though she pleaded guilt to witchcraft. He would, however, do the next worst thing he would punish the plaintiff, which be did then and there by pronouncing Jackson and Martha Mr. and Mrs. Holmes.

This story may serve as a pointer to many weeping Let them throw lawyers briefs where physic was long ago thrown, give up the cow-hide and adopt Martha Hodoks' remedy. Let them conquer their obstinate lovers with "spells." Wanted, Hero. "I want a bsro, an uncommon want. When every year and month sends forth a new one." Tito if. The disposition to worship something Is one of the attributes of the human mind.

The desire to gratify hunger with food is scarcely more inherent. The heathen sat isfies this yearning by prostrating himself before some graven image. The ancient Aztec reverently uncovered his head to tbe sun. The Ghebers prayed to the eternal fires, and were content. Ancleut civilization deified humanity, and deified abstract ideas, and had, therefore, a' surfeit of heroes.

Modem civilization, if dwelling under a monarchical system of government, worships God and "God's anointed." Here in America man either worships God or himself and a hero. Since tbe declara tion of eace In 1783, down to a few months ago. tbe country has had an. ample supply of objects for temporary adoration Till the close of the hist century George Washington was almost as sacred in the minds and hearts of the early patriots as was the Nazarene to the Twelve Apostles. Tbe prosperous Colon iRts up to Washington's day had been compelled to adore the name of the dead Colcmbcs.

Their live hero was so mush the more weleome and so much tbs more reverently adored. But Washington was gathered to his fathers, and at the beginning of the nineteenth century the country cast about for another hero, and, behold, the immortal Jefferson. Live heroes were in demand, and Jefferson filled the bill' for. quite a quarter of a century, when he, too, was translated, and St. Jackson a hero was born.

Meantime, there were Websters and Clays and Calhocns to figure in their respective States and among personal admirers all over tbe nation as pennies. But St. Jackson died, and so did tbe household gods. The party that developed the great hero was just then rather effete. It needed to be bora again, as it now is.

The Democracy needed what it has had in abundance, some discouraging set-backs. It needed not only a little shower, but a deluge of tire, before tbe dross in it could be burned out and a true golden hero developed. There was little in the Presidents who succeeded the hero of the battle ot New Orleans to inspire a genuine 'hero worshiper. Van Bdren, Harrison, Polk, and the list of Presidents even down to Lincoln, are complimented by being placed above the mediocre. The office honored them much more than they honored the office.

They all had their devoted admirers, but nobody really canonized them. Still, the country was not' robbed of a hero. St. Jackson's memory after his death in 1845 remained fresh until a shrine was found at the feet of another military hero. General Win-field Scott was not ail that could be desired, still he was a hero and partially filled an aching void till Lincoln's mem ory waa embalmed.

Lincoln died and ueneral Grant, was straightway promoted. As a hero for whom triumph after triumph was celebrated. General Grant was. however, slowly being deposed. He began to intelligently look after bis tem poral welfare, to accept of the Presidency of several practical corporations.

Tbe true hero worshiper didn't like this. It was too practical, too much like royalty going into tbe dry goods business, or a (cod catching the measles. The worshipers were sirain casting about for a hero, when the assas sin's bullet made tbe name of Garfield a household word. General Garfield lived as a hero but for a abort season. His men ory is sweet, but, like tbe garden flower, it is fading.

Children will soon begin to ask, who was Garfield There is none now to fill the void, Grant Is still a quasi banker, and not likely to be again a god. Moreover, among American worshipers a hero is apt to be much like exploded or 'burnt-out pyrotechnics. The admirers of a brilliant rocket care little for what becomes of the fallen stick. American hero adorers are sadly in need of a hero. There is either too' much or not enough talent in tbe country.

Among military men there are no Caesars or among statesmen no Crux wells or Pitts, or else they are-all Cssars and Napoleons and Crojtw ells and Pifrs. There is need of an emergency to sig nal out a hero. A war, pestilence or a famine might develop one. One may be born in tbe campaign of 1884. Meanwhile the worshiper and the iconoclast are alike idle.

On Account of Bar IndlsposlUon a Great Feople Hard a Grand Opera at Vry Low Kates An Audlenee ef Ovy Fottr Taotuand People Prsieat Votes. Fact and lad- dat Personal Mention. Thus far the weather has been most propi tious for tb Opera Festival, and yesterday began witb a brlgbt sunlit sky, and In tb evening the gliturlng star shone down approvingly upon thed voted votaries of masle.

It wss Indeed a charming spring dsy, with a coot, braeiBE bras, which, bad aa exhilar ating enact upon every one. Tb weather certainly auger wall for Cincinnati's great musical event, and tbe harmony of nature Is tn fitting aeeord with tbe harmony tn tbe great tempi of music and art. Thousands of strangers are In the elty, aad great waa tb disappointment when it was learned tbat Pattl would not sing last night, but there seemed to be a disposition to be good-nstared aad submit graciously to necessity. Some people will doubtless cen sure Colonel Nichols for tb failure of Patti to appear, but bo sensible person can bold him responsible for the fair diva's nines, which is the only reason, she Is prevented from singing. The leading hotels are all crowded with distinguished visitors to tb Festival, wbo hav com from North, South, East and VWest.

They took advantaa of th lovely waatber yesterday, and vert seen In crowds upon tb streets and at the numerous places of in tor est in our city. Th ticket speculators be cam almost desperate in their efforts to dispose of their good yesterday, but were repulsed at every point. Borne of these Individuals wbo tried to corner the Opera Festival market were selling tickets, witb reserved seats, for fifty cents. At thl price there wss no difficulty in getting rid of all tb stock on hand, but tb number of seat sold at this fignre was few. and tbe "scalpers" shrewdly concluded to hold on little langer and ae if the end of tb week wouldn't lnoreaae th demand.

ANOTHER GREAT CROWS Flocked to Musio Hall last night to hear the performance of Faust, substituted at tbe eleventh bour on account of the failure of Pattl to appear. It was a very critical audi enoe and was made up principally of people of refinement and culture without, but yet there was a large sprinkling of whte bonnets oa eiegant- (uiieis among me asseniDiage. wblcb guve a pleasing contrast and variety to th animated scene. Tbe people who'went to the great hall expected to get only a dollar's worth and 'bear an' opera imperfectly rendered. But never in tbe world has there been such grand music, by such grand artists and cboruaatsosmallaprleeof admiaslon.

Tb heart of the audience were won in spite of themselves and they finally woand up to a degree of enthusiasm whleb made tbe hall ring witb applause. Ths abscnoe of Pattl seemed to be forgotten, end the good-natured crowd bore tb disap pointment with patience and resignation. It waa believed tbat tber would be much trouble and confusion Iaaf night, "but by printed cards posted upon tbe door' th auiianc were notified tbat there were no re served seats unless th person holding tickets was willing to surrender the reserved seat ticket, which wonld entitle blthsio bl seat at tb Pattl concert Thursday afternoon. Very few people accepted tbis condition, and the result was tbat every body was saiUfied. and there waa no Ul-feellog and discord between tbe management and tb public It la-sn ill.

wind that blows nobody good, and but for th extra opera last nlgui thousand of people wbo are unable to pay for a high-priced reserved seat would not have een th Opera Festival. It was a happy tbougbtof Colonel Nicbola to give tb cheap bat grand opera last nigbt, and by this means order aad confidence war brought outof what appeared to be Inevitable ebaos and distrust. A en Monday night, tba opera began promptly at 7 JO. At leaat forty-live hundred persons were iu the bail, and th lartf attendance waa a gratifying surprise to the Festival Manager and the artisia. lb performance, rous.aaliy considered, was far above the rendition of 77i Juiuei ols, o.i Monday ereniug, aud tb cenlc etlecta wer vivid aud lmpreasiv.

The setting in the first act, representing -Faust's" laboratory, waa not painted until niornilig. aud other scenes were improvised with consummate skill. The garden scene in the third act was most rsslutio, and ib trees, which wer set so naturally upon tbe greaistag. went cut from a Cincinnati nnrery. But tbe climax of impreMlveneaa waa reached tn tbe fourth act.

When tb great organ pealed fortu tb sublime prayer and chanLTb Uno in th audience was absolutely pain-lul until the curtain fell upon tbe sad sceue. and then the delighted spectators burst forth in loud demonstrations of approval The opera ended about eleven o'clock, an. tou In that vast music-loving crowd ftutdlssp-pointed nor sorry that or had been tber to listen to tbe delicious melody and uul-atirrlug harmony of that opera so rich in aentiiueut, so pur in lb great moral which it inaulcaura. PATTt WILL SlJtO-TO-JlORROW. The physicians of th fair diva say thatsh Is progresalug favorably, aud that by to-rtor-row her unfortunate oold will have entirely disappeared.

Tber la every reason to believe tbat slie will aing to-morrow afternoon, and tb programme advertised for lasc nigbt will be rendered la Its entirety.
