A Prirnto Reception After the En
to rtainmoiit.
The second appearance of the Men-
dolsMohn Qnintetto club of Boston ,
in this city , was made last evening at
.ho opera hotiBo. The attendance was
small , though perhaps ns largo as
could have boon expected , considering
the untoward time of the year and
the social attractions in a distant part
of the city , to which , it was known ,
n largo number of lovers of music had
responded. Doopito thoao facts , the
truth is still evident the inidi-
enco was not in any do-
grco sullioiont to encourage
the ' artists. One year ngo last spring
the ' club appeared before nn nudionco
scarcely li'ilf the si/.o of that ono lost
evening on a drenry night in the
Academy of Brusic. The streets ran
with mud , nnd the number of people
who hositatud braving the dangers * f
thoroughfare navigation did not hesitate -
tate in extenuation of their absence
to frequently mnko reference to that
fact. Those who did attend the con
cert , or nt least many of
them subscribed very liberally
to something the writer printed
on the morning nftor the performance ,
concerning the stnys-nt-homo The
around , was taken that , as the visits
ol orcanizations such as the Mendols-
lohns must of necessity bo at long in
tervals , our people worn dcing but
little to make them sufficiently on-
eouracing i to warrant a continuance
II t mny hero bo remarked that the
visit of the club on this occasion was
duo to the accidental suggestion of
ono ! of itn members. Just when it
rill again favor us , even as the result
Io : accident , it is not now possible to
state. ,1 , When it does , lot it bo hoped
neither wind or weather may bo in
antagonism to them.
STho company is now returning to
Boston after a trip to Australia. Its
composition ! i is the some as when it
ast played hero , with the exception
ot the vocalist , Miss Cora Miller be-
ng substituted for Miss Niccolini. In
his connection , it may bo remarked
hat the organization has played dur-
ng three summers , without experi
encing the pleasure of a single winter.
[ t left this co-intry to strike summer
n norao other land ; nnd In turn , left
, hat at the commencement of winter
, o moot with summer in still another.
The programme opened last night
wish the overture to "Raymond , " by
PhomaB.intrnduoing the instiumontal-
sts of the olub. The piece wns played
with that delightful finish , that stu
dious attention to the nice and minute -
ute features of the several parts , so
characteristic of the club , and conduc-
ng to a complete and most sotisfac-
; ory porf rmanco.
The "Quintette in 13 flat , " Op. 87 ,
adagio , by Mendelssohn , a passionate
MCCO most exquisitely rendered , was
jharactomod by several features of
opprmlintt interest. The fading of
the tones of the cello into those of the
violin , the life nnd fooling that
were imparted them , and the general
excellence of the number produced a
most happy ufl'oct. The same may bo
said , perhaps in a lesser degree , of the
best number of the programme , in
which nil the instrumentalists of the
club took part. On the programme
the piece was onlitleda "Kaloidoscopo"
of favorite melodies ; the piece , however -
over , was the "Drinking Chorus , " bal
lad 1 , and "La Siciliono , " from "Jlobort
Lo ] Diablo , " by Meyerbeer.
Miss Miller's first piece was a cava-
Una from "Travita , " by Verdi , instead
of from the "Opora of JJotty. " Il r
second number was Oowon'a "It Was
a Dream. " In response to the encore ,
she sang the "Pleasures of Life , " by
Campana. Miss Miller'H is not a re
markable voice. It is pure and liquid
in many of its notes , of considerable
strength , but of not exceeding range.
It pleased without creating n very
strong impression.
The other soloists of the club are
familiar to our people. Mr. Schado ,
the flutist was kindly welcomed and
ilayod with former sweetness nnd
jrilliancy. Mr. Thos. Ilyan , the veteran -
eran manager of the olub , and t
whom its existence is largely duo ,
rendered ono of his own pieces on
bin favorite instrumentthoclarionotto ,
a "Funtasio on themes from 'La
Postilion.1" Added to a warm g reet t
ing , Mr. Ilyan was enthusiastically
applauded. 11 is playing was character rf
ized with his old time sweetness of
tone , and artistic expression.
The "Fantastic for the violin on
themes from 'Fuust,1 "by Wionlawskt I ,
introduced Mr. Bchnitzlor , in a most
difficult and highly successful effort.
Ho was generously encored as was
also Mr. Qieso , for his magnificent
violoncello solo , "Fantastic on themes
from 'Daughter of the Ilogimont. ' n
Immediately preceding the latter
pirco , thoclub introduced ttocchorini'fl
"Minuott,1 n now familinr piece with
our people. It was intensely onjoyod.
The nudionco wns ngreoably enthu
siastic last night , and it is firmly be
lieved felt the Appreciation to which
they gave expression. It is but
justice to sny tlmt the growing favor
with which classic music moots is large
ly duo to our own Philonmthoans ,

HTAU noUTH TllIAI , .
WASHINGTON , August 2-1. Morrick
began hisnddross to jury the to-daydo-
mnuding ) the conviction of Dorsoy ,
3\rtnor \ , Stephen Dorsoy , Vail , Randall ,
and Thomas Brady.
Mr. Murrick then argnod it was not
necessary , ns contended by the de
fense to show that n conspiracy existed
during the time embraced in the in
dictment. If it wore proven that
there had boon n conspiracy before the
23d day of May , 1879 , nnd there
wns fno explanation as to when it
ceased to bo n conspiracy , the minda
of the jury could not bo satisfied that
it i has not been continued ns a con
spiracy down to that timo.
The prosecution had shown that
n conspiracy existed in 1877
and 1878 , nnd the presumption
JI naturally arose that the conspiracy
Ji continued. The presumption wan
made conclusive when it was shown
that t subsequent to 1879 the conspira
tors t ware doing acts of mutual and
parochial 1 benefit. The conspirators'
1t purpose t was thieving. They stole
1i half a million , eating like a cankot
into i the heart of the country.
Mr. Morriok also advanced the
proposition I that the filing of a paper
in i an office of Mho government wit
the intent to deceive any'RoVormrion
officer was a crime under the law.
Court adjourned before Mr. Mor
riok concluded his address.

CAMP CANFIELD-
Indian Festivities of Sunday Lout.
On Sunday last there was a grand
jollification at Camp Oanfield , on the
line of the Omaha & St. Paul road ,
by Uio AVinnobngo Indians of that
vicinity , who had just bean joined by
a band of Winnobagos who had boon
up on n visit to Hod Cloud Agency.
The visitors and their hostH hold
what was called "Bravo Man'o
D&iico , " in which about sixty Indian
braves in full war paint executed the
highland fling or some other fling , to
the great delight of the rest , of
the tribe , about six hundred in
all , The ( ? roat feature of the
festival was the presentation of gifts
between the Indians , horses , blankets ,
guns , etc , , being exchanged , The
danco. is fitly named Bravo Man's
dance as it requires more , bravery on
the part of an Indian to give up any
of his goods than to bo buried at the
stake.
Mr , ( loo. Canhold furnished the
noble red men of the forest witn
drums , cymbals and other musical in
struments.
