its regular weekly appearance in our columns.

always at the head, to some an offensive caption,
but not SO to the benevolent and humane, who
could sympathize in the sorrows Of others. Some
persons are shocked at any indication of disease,
and are even thrown into a nervous excitement
on witnessing a hearse or a coffin. Such are to
be pitied. We should always strive to look dis
eases and even death in the face with calmness,
and especially take every opportunity for allevia-
ting disease. Viewed in this light, the advertise

who know of any one suffering from Epilepsy,
Spasms, or Pits of any kind, should feel it a pleas

long last VIC have begun 10 achieve our end and
brought public opinion TO bear upon the subject The
Philharmonic Society. which FOR thirteen years did not
recognize the existence OF an American composer
save IN one instance - announces that the leading
feature OF its next concert will be entire symphony

to believe that continued efforts on behalf Of ma

the way for the hearing which Mr.. Bristow recently
obtained for his opera at Nibos. and which Nh. Ar
dti is about to have for his opera at the Academy of
Music.
There Is another point to be treated emphatcaly in
connection with this reform we have introduced into
the Philharmonic Society Upto the time that they per-
form habtually works composed in this country by c
zens native or adopted the public will look upon them
simply as executants Of European works without the
originality and science, and rank to produce anything
themselves fit to be heard. We, however. have had
an infinitely better opinion of the Philharmonic Society
than they have had Of themselves We believe there are
men among its numbers capable of doing good things,
beyond performances simply, however important and
honorable these and to the works OF such men we
are sure the public here Is sufficiently generous and
intelligent to give gentemanly and lady like hearing
whatever small lbraned and rottenhearted opposition
may be offered. The NewYork public is appreciatve
