be to continue to uphold the conservative policy. This statement of the Francaise is in accord with the report sent from

Now, a few words about the programme. We think the Ciub would do weil to allow no encores. Leta notice to that effect be printed on the programme. It is absurd and wearisome to have every piece encor ed. If tha audience bave the bal taste to insist, then let the Orchestra re-appear ani go on with their next piece on the programme. The difficulty about Voca- lists could be overcome, by putting down
fwo songs to the tavorites. Why should not the Orchestra accom
pany some of the songs? Handel’s ac- companiment to ‘‘ Angels Ever Bright and Fair’’ is not difficult, and we are cartain would be popular. No small part of the programme is the selection of songs. Last evening the selection was, on the whole. good; but we cannot allow this oppor.

What richer than one of Mendel- shon's four part songs or one of the old glees? Christey’s songs are, on the whole, good, and take well; but spare us from such abominable trash as the ‘I’m lonely since my mother-in-law died,’’ etc.
The chorus was not well balanced, the the basses being too heavy. There, too, the want of a conductor was noticed. At the beginning of the ‘‘ Men of Harlech” one voice started two notes before the
chorus joined in. This was bad. Dragging,

The Musical Director did his part admirably; but we think he made a mistake in having a reedy organ to accoms pany the Orchestra. The organ is very effective in an andante, but is not effective in all pieces. ‘In Gounod's Meditation a proper part is written for that instrument, and astudy of that part will shew what the organ’s place is with the Orchestra.

THE TREATMENT OF DRUNKARDS.
(From the New York World.)
Last year the Mayor of Boston appointed three Commissioners to consider and report upon the treatm ont of drunkenness in the city institutiens and in private asylums, define the proper relations between society and drunkards, and suggest measures for the reform of inebriates. The report of the Commission is short and sensible. The Commissioners seem to have spent much time and thought upon the subject which they were appointed to consider, but they have had the self denial to condense the result of their observations into such brief space that theis conclusiona can be readily presented at second hand, They ccademn the method of dealing with drunkards which is common in all our large cities, by which men and women arrested and charged with intox ¢.tion are fined in some small amount, generally $10, or sent to a workhouse or penitentiary for some short period, commonly thirty days. If the fine is paid the burden falls upon the family or friends of the drunkard, who are innocent of all fauit and are sufficiently punished by the mere fact of his drunkenness. If he is sent to prison the term of his confine« ment is long enough for him to get sober, but not long enough for him to acquire habits of soberiety. The consequence is that «a restcration to liberty is followed by a new spree and another commitment. The police statistics of Lon. don and New York establish this fact be~ yond peradventure, and the cases aited by the Boston Commissioners of a young woman who had been committed this way fifty-seven times and anoth-r who had served out eleven sentences of thirty days’ imprisonment in a year may be alluded to werely aa illustrations of a well-known theme. In addition to the tendency of this method of punishment to bear upon the innocent and unfortunate and its fail- ure to reform the victims, the charge may be brought that it is not economical, since it prevents the continued and advantage~ ous use of the labor of those who are im, prisoned. Its worst defect, however, is its failure to make any distinction between drunkards and criminals, By confounding both in the same punishment the former are degraded in their own opinion and in the estimation of the community, and eventually driven to crime. Drunkards are weak, diseased beings, troublesome to society, but they should not be classed with thieves and burglars, who are directly and consciOasly at war with society. Tnese conclusions lead naturally to the recom. mendation which the Commissioners make fur a new departure in the treatment of In- ebriates. They suggest that the cily of Boston should convert the institution at Deer Island inte a sort of reformatory where all kiods of agricu!tura! and mechan ical labor can be carried on. Thither drunkards should be seut for terms long enough to enable their constitutions to re- cover thoroughly from the cflects of alco- hoi and to give them an opportunity to acquire habits of industry. in some cases & year would be sufficient for this purpose; in others three years might be required. there would be enough of punishment ins voived io the reformitory process to make it thoroughly salutary. So long as the present system of fines and temporary im- prisopment serves to manufacture druak- ards instead of reforming them, this topic of the relation gxd duties of the community towards inetridtes should be zealonsly | tidied, aod we trust Bc stos will adopt the! recommendaticn of its Commissioners, so
