body of a man who had died aboard the

His name, as given by the second clerk OF

upon him. He Immediately afterward

the ION Of Africa. A case in point: Last
night a clerk in a dry goods store on Main
street missed a pair of kid gloves. 1t was
about closing up time, and the elegant

We have received q very strong letter
from an Italian: we know that Is his
nationality. because he uses the express
sion "Our fathers who worshiped in the
catacOmbs," in which he "'gOes for" the
present system of church music with a
vengeance. He says it is "Operatic, " "in-
ddei." infamous" It is evident the
concord Of sweet sounds has no charms
for him, which is singular in an Italian.
He regrets exceedingly that poor Victor
Emmanuel interfered with the Vatican
Council before it had time to demOlish
every organ on the face of the earth and
for ever hush the melOdiOus voices Ofthe
sweet singers. Our Italian friend from
"Dsrry") must imagine that the bishops
are all q fearfully severe and uncOuth set
to thus demOlish church music by one
fell canon. 1t is to be regretted that he
wishes 10 rush into print to expose his
profound ignorance of music by svowing
his belief that church music which is any
way excellent is therefore operate.
There be vast numbers Of people who
can appreciate the street ballads and
the variety songs" but who would con-
slider the oratoriO Of the messiah" an I'M
baarable humbug or a vile ''Operatic"
composition. II our italian friend would
strive to master the force and meaning of
a simple Amen, as it is given in what he
calls "operatic" style at st. Peters, he
would forever hush his voice in Opposi-
ton to "the church music Ofthe present"
