them, hardly Knowing what course, under the cir.
Gums ances, topursue. At fength however, patience
at an end, they brought the matter to a elimination
on SATURDAY last by having the gentlemanly thof
arrested IN The street. He was conducted back TO
the store, and there compelled to disgor9e the ar
Llces ne mad but few minutes previously stolen.
These consisted of box OF cigars and divers other
trivial things, such as he had been accustomed to
lake. he then offered TO pay a sum of money equiv
alent to the value OF the articles he had stolen for
Two years past on condition OF being let up softly.
The 1rm accepted his proposition, when he pad
$500. The matter Is new amicably settled and all
parties satisfied.

ROssini's Mass.

On the 29th of A pril Rossini's Petite Messe
So,enneNe-as the illustrious composer chose to
name his latest masterpiece, which he must
have felt confident everybo dy else would call
Gronde-will be performed at the Academy
of Music for the first time in America There
can be no doubt that 1t will create in this coun-
try sensation equal to that created by it in
Paris, London and other great European cities.
Composed by Rossini at Passy during the
summer Of 1868, and in his seventy y-second
year, it combines the ardor of his youth with
the strength Of his manhood and the maturity
Of his old age. 1t was applauded by
a few privileged auditors, among whom were
Auber, Meyerbeer, Ambrose Thomas, and
other distinguished representatives of the fore
most ranks of intelligence and culture, when
it was first given at private rehearsal in
Paris in 1864, with the help only of harmo-
mum and two pianos Happily the maestro
lived long enough to add to this work the
advantages of complete orchestration. Before
his death he consented to leave it to Mr..
Maurice Strakosch as musical bequest to the
world. Mr.. Maurice Strakosch having trans
ferred to his brother, Mr.. Max Strakosch,
the charge of producing the mass in America,
Miss Kellogg, assisted by Mile. Testa, Signor
Boett and Sgnor Antonucci, will appear in it.
Our favorite American prima donna will thus
enjoy fine opportunity to justify the aattering
opinion which Rossini himself bestowed upon
her when he expressed his qualification at
learning that she was to be chief Interpreter
of the work to the American public.
Rossini's "PeSte Messe Solennele" is pro-
nounced by competent critics to be far superior
pensates the world for the Sublime idlers"
silence Of thirty years. Composed of eleven
numbers to which two were afterwards added,
and including the "Kyrie" CA minor), the
"Christe" &C minor), the "Gloria in Ex-
celsis," the "Gratias" ca major), the "Domine
Deus" the Incompatible fugue Of major) in
which the musical skeleton of the scholastic
fugue is mraculously endowed with flesh,
blood and glowing life; the "Credo," the
"Crucifxus," the " "Resurrext," the "Sanc-
tus," which is devoted to voices alone, and the
'.Agnus Del" Rossini's Mass is throughout,
accoiuinS W tne uHIniuious ahu uueAaSSerateu
verdict of the French critics, admirable,
splendid, immense, full of fire, color and
faith" For the production of this mass in
America as well as in Europe vast scheme
has been organized, one noticeable feature of
which is the aid to be contributed in each
principal city by its local musical celebrities.
Here in New York Mr.. Max Strakosch might
find in the Philharmonic Society alone ample
materials for efficient cooperation, The scale
on which the mass has been and is to be rem
he history Of music.

Fair Of the Cuban Ladies' Relief Associ-
niion.

Fair Of the Cuban Ladies' Relief AssOci-
ntion.
The recent concerts of the Cuban Ladies'
Relief Association have proved so remarkably
successful and private gifts have poured into
its treasury 30 freely that the project has been
started of holding fair on grand scale in
behalf Of the sick and wounded Of the patriot
army of Cuba. The hopc is reaso onably enter
tanned that this fair, which it is proposed to
hold at an early date, will be great success.
Many prominent mercantile houses as we'll as
private citizens of wealth and high social posi-
ton have already intimated their readiness
to cooperate in this praiseworthy movement.
The American public never fails to act with
commendable lbcrality when properly appealed
to in behalf of suffering humanity. 1t is alto
gcther within the province OF unofficial circles
in our New York society to manifest sympathy
with the struggles of the Cuban patriots against
odious Spanish tyranny. The neutrality of the
United States government is not at all compro-
missed by such manifestations Of sympathy.
But 1t behooyes the managers Of the projected
Cuban fair to see to ii that its proceeds shall
be sacredly devoted to its avowcd objects
alone. II this shall be done we shall not regret
the appreciation which we gladly accord 10 the
proposed fair of the Cuban Ladies' Relief As
sociaiion. We sinccrely hope that the fair will
surpass In its results the expectations Of Its
most sanguine projectors.
