THE GREAT SUCCESS OF THE IEW TORE
SE1S0X.
Its Career in London and Boston An
Amusing. Text, Heightened by Comr.
ical Music and Laughable Sit-
uations-The Personal
Meaning of the
Piece.
New York 1879.-The new comic
opera by W; S; Gilbert, the famous play
wright and author of the "Bab Ballads,'',
and Arthur' SulliYain,' the f well-known
musician, has taken the town by storm.
But it has done that wherever it has
beerr produced. In London it has been
running since; last May, and the Opera
Comique, having occasion lately .fa close
for repairs; announced that it -would re
open in .a few weeks with the same
piece -a calm reliance on the continu
ance of public favor almost without a
parallel, I should say. In Boston the
piece has toea running several months
already, and wherever it has Veen "pro
duced it has been pronounced the most
exquisitely comical thing of the kind
ever written. It is vastly funnier than
the negro minstrels ever dared to be,
and yet there is ' not a vulgar word or
thought in it It is difficult to describe
its humorousness, because it is produc
ed by a series of the most delicate and
delicious absurdities. Amusing as Gil
bert's text is, it gives, when read, mere
ly the faintest idea of the ludicrous ef
fects produced by the utterly, contra
dictory !musie which accompany it. I
said the "Pinafore" was the most com
ical thing of its kind ever written. That
is hardly fair ; it would be better to say
what is the truth that it is altogether
the funniest thing the subscriber ever
saw upon the stage.
A CARICATURE AS WELL AS AN OPERA.
And it is not all merriment. Thanks
to Arthur Sullivan, the music is exceed
ingly pretty, even-where it is least seri
ous, and in some places it is fairly ex
quisite in its sparkle. So that even
tnose who do not laugh easily will find
the "Pinafore" a real musical treat. If
it is sung in the South, that man or
woman or child for the children go
wild over it-r-who loses a chance to see
it loses a chance of hearty and innocent
pleasure. As has been already widely
published, "Sir Joseph Porter K. CB.
of the opera is a caricature of Mr. Smith
the great English news agent, who is
now First Lord of the Admiralty, and
the likeness is said to be so close that
its presentation at all was an act of
some audacity in England. It shows
the merits of the opera that it is so suc
cessful here, in spite of its slight local
favor. ! '
"DEAR LITTLE BUTTERCUP."
The scene passes bh board the deck of
the "Pinafore" off Portsmouth, and as
the curtain rises the sailors are singing
a song glorifying their many naval vir
tues. Enters at once "Little Buttercup,"
one of the most indescribably humor
ous characters in the opera. Her name
alone is enough to make her funny, for
she is, by contrast, a bumboat woman,
with vulgar red cheeks and a green rib-'
borr tied Heroes- them, - And-this ia the
wavsjhe announces iher wares:, ., . , . .
For Fm called "tittle Buttercupear tittle But-
Thoughlfcooid oeter teD. why;
But sail I'm called Buttercup poor LltUe "Butter
cup, Sweet Little Buttercup, I.
I've snuff and tobaccy, and excellent jacky ;
I've scissors and watches and knives;
I've ribbons and laces to set off the faces
Of pretty young sweethearts and wives.
I've treacle and taffy, and excellent coffee,
Soft tommy and succulent chops;
I've chickens and conies and pretty polonies,,
And excellent 1 ipermlnt droi s.
Then buy of your Buttercup dear Little Buttercup,
Sailors should never be shy;
So buy of your Buttercup poor Little Buttercup,
Come, of yoor Buttercup buy! .' s
Little Buttercup dances as she sings,
and the whole chorus seesaws behind
her. She volunteers the information
that beneath her "gay and frivolous ex
terior there lurks a canke worm twhica
is eating its way into s her' very heart
and is startled at the mention of the
name of Ralph Rackstraw, a common
seaman, who soon enters and with a
Very lackadaisical look sings a pretty
and really touching air, avowing his
love for thejdfairfhteb'of ,ihe Canaan of
the "Pinafore?
MARITIME COURTESIES.
Then follows one of the mostgro
tesque things in the piece. The Cap
tain appears on the bridge of the ship,
and exchanges morning salutations

- Then, follows this biographical song,
which probably has a very direct per
sonal application to the present First
Lord of the Admiralty :
When I was a lad I served a term
As office boy to an attorney's firm.
I cleaned the windows and I swept the floor.
And I polished up the handle of the big front door:
I polished up that handle so earefullee,
That now 1 am the ruler of the Queen's Navee !
As office boy I made such a mark
That thfiT cure me the Dost of a Junior clerk.
I served the wits with a smile so bland.
And Tannted hH the letters in a bis round

-. That now I am the Baler of the Queen's Navee!
Of legal knowledge I acquired such a grip
That they took me Into-partnership.
And that Junior partnership, I ween.
Was the only ship that I ever had seen.
But that kind of a ship so suited me,
.. , That now I am the Ruler of the Queen's Navee!
Mow, landsmen all, whoever you may be.
If you want to rise to the top of the tree,
If your soul Isn't fettered to an office stool,
Be careful to be guided by this golden ruler
Stick close to your desks, and never go to sea.
And you all may be Buler of the Queen's
'Navee!!!
The First Lord of tTre Admiralty has
evidently been introducing some senti
mental; reforms in the English navy,
for Sir Joseph rebukes the Captain for
patronizing his men, declares that the
British sailor is any man's equal but
his, and compels the Captain to say "if

The PoiDdexter-Curtis Case.
Baltimore Sun.
This case ended on Saturday in Rich
mond in a disagreement of the jury
and its discharge. This seems to be
very unfortunate, in view of the fact
that all the jury are reported to have
believed that the killing of Curtis de
served some punishment. Two of the
anei are said to nave lavorea a ver-
a Denaltv of twelve months in iail and
a heavy fine (Virginia juries having au
thority under the law to determine
the punishment to be awarded to con
victs). Five were in favor of ascertain
ing the crime to be voluntary man
slaughter, and five, murder in the sec
ond degree, the range of penalties ex
tending from three to eighteen years in
the penitentiary. Several efforts are
reported to have been made to agree
upon a compromise -of five years in the
penitentiary, but some of the jurors
would- not come into this, so they had
to be discharged. A motion for the
discharge of Poindexter on bail was re
fused by Judge Christian, and the pris-t
oner was remanded for trial next month.
