To the Editor New*: On Saturday evening we "dropped in" to hear the "Frog opera and, although it is a fraud in itself, and the originator of it deserves to be erucifled "without benefit of clergy," we were v«*ry much interested in it, bec^l?Lcu,, of those who rendered it. Nearly all who took prominent parts acquitted tnemselves with credit.
For amateurs, the Binging and acting could not bo complained of. But from the audiences which greeted the young singers wo imaging that the Frog opera was not a financial success, we are^orry to say.
Without detracting in the least from the well deserved praiso of all concerned, we trust we' will not offend when we speak particularly of Mr. Morgon. We had never seen him as an actor before, only as a business young man. But with his first appearance on the stage he impressed us with the belief that he possesses rare powers and abilities as an actor. While it is apparent that he has had no training as such, yet he seems to grasp and comprehend the character which he assumes, with intuitive power. He possesses the latent genius of a great comedian. Many men have made fortunes and world-wide reputations as comedians who did not possess the natural talents in that direction that Mr. Morgan does. He could succeed in "high" or "low"{comedy. We doubt if at Mr. Morgan's age and with his experience, the great Hackett was his equal. He has more natural talent to-day as a comedian than Ben De Bar ever had.
With care, study, training and experience he would, in a short time, command a splendid salary. He would climb to the top and rank with Jefferson, Southern and Den Thompson.
Terre Haute lias in her midst the material for one of the finest comedians rftt tho stage to-day.
If Mr. Morgan should adopt the stage as a profession Tern? Haute would have cause io be proud of him. Mr. MoTgan may be a good coal dealer, but he is a better actor, and that without knowing it His playing is the result of inherent theatrical ability, not education and training. He plays well without knowing he plats at all. He plays without seeming to play. In that fact, lies the success of Southern and Den Thompson. Their acting is not acting, it is the reflection of nature,

The North Pole.—Prof. Nordenskfold, the celebrated explorer, who has recently returned from his Arctic investigation, and who is now being lionized in Europe, asserted in an interview with the Paris correspondent of the New York Herald •'that the North Pole will never be reached, unless some man begins to attempt it when lie is twenty and continues untill he is "fifty." The Professor is high authority, and he comes to the above conclusion because he considers the travelers, who are vet to make the discovery, "must be familliar with the peculiarities of the Arctic seas, and fully that time Is necessary to gain the requisite experience,"
Nordenskjold's friend, M. Sibiriakoff, who went to the rescue of the Arctic explorer at the time he was ice bound near Behring's Strait is reported to have start ed on a return voyage to Europe from the Hacific through Behring's Strait and the Arctic Ocean* His little vessel failed to reach the explorer whose name she bears, having been wrecked on one of the islands of Japan, but she is now reported afloat again, and evidently in good condition, or M.

a few days ago. Cream Tartar—Where aad How Procured.
The pure cream of tartar of commerce exists naturally in the grape,and during fermentation of the tart wines in Frapce it is deposited on the sides and bottoms of the casks. In its unrefined Mate it is called crude tartar, or argols, and is taken from the cask after the wine haa been drawn off. Each fanner haa hia crop of it according to the amount of wine h» Uaa produced.
It is imported into this country as argols, and does not appear upon the Custom House entries except as argols— never as cream of tartar, for the reason that the facilities for refining in this country are superior to that of the old countries hence, it is brought here in the crude form, and t&en subjected to the process of refining.
This dispels the impression many have that this article cannot be procured in it#, native purity. There is no doubt but what cream tartar is largely adulterated, and that ordinarily found in the shops is cheapened by either burnt bones, terra alba, or the hurtful alum, from 10 to 90 per cent.
