The Resources Of the Voice.

From Das Muslkalsche NocneuDlObs-J
When Rossini began to develop
his peculiar style, which gives the
singer opportunity to make all the
excenencies of a well cultivated in
strument available, voices we're
raised against him even in Italy.
The complaint was made that, in
stead of taking his predecessors.
Cimarosa, Zingarelli, &c, for his
models, and letting the singer pro-
duce his effect through the beauty
of a sustained tone, he has turned
the human voice into an instrument
and destroyed the natural power of
tone. If we compare Rossini's de-
mands upon the singers with the
stvle of the older It9lian opera, if
we consult the traditions which
have come down to us from that
epoch, it viii become clear enough
to us that the charm felt in the full
ness and power of the human organ
in its highest development has been
pereeptibly weakened by Rossini, in
order TO make room for more one
The Fremont weekly journal. [volume] (Fremont, Sandusky County, Ohio) 1867-1877, 1871-08-11

sided culture of mere technical IA
cility. To be sure, the older Italian
singers trained themselves to facil-
ity in passages which scarcely fell
short ofthe newer singers of the Ros-
sini school. But their chief aim was
the tone itself, and the effect pro
duced upon the hearers purely by
this. What we read of the forma-
ton of the tone, the cultivation of
the breath, the fexibility of the
voice, in the singer of that time,
judged by our present ideas, sounds
almost fabulous. The singer Feri,
for example, who died in 1910, is
said to have possessed such a con-
troll over his voice, that in the de-
livery of passages of feeling he
actually thrilled his hearers. Yet
at the same time he had developed
his technical facility to such degree
that he executed consecutive trills,
for instance, through two octaVes,
up and down, in one breath, such
passages requiring fifty seconds time.
Similar things are told of Sassaroli,
soprano castrato of the King of Sax
ony, who sang as late as 1920 in a
musical festival at Gorlitz. Farinelli
(died 1882 executed in one breath
passages requiring fifty seconds time.
Moreover, it is said that he could in
crease his tone to such a degree OF
strength, that it completely covered
up the sound offs trumpet.

The Old Lady in a Bad Fix.

A very good widow, who was
looked up to by the congregation to
which she belonged as an example
Of piety, contrived to bring her
conscience to terms for one little in
dulgence. She loved porter and one
day, just as she had received half a
dozen bottles from the man who
usually brought her the comfortable
beverage, she saw two of the grave
elders Of the church approaching
her door. She ran the man out of
the back door, and the bottles un-
der the bed.
The weather was hot, and while
conversing with her sage friends,
pop went the cork. "Dear meT ex-
claimed the good lady, there goes
the BEDFORD; it snapped yesterday
the same way. Imust have another
rope provided" In few minutes
went another, followed by the pecu-
liar hiss of escaping liquor. The
rope would not do again, but the
good lady was not at a loss, 'Dear
me-" said she, that black cat Of
mine must be at some mischief un-
der there. "Scatr' Another bot
tie popped of, and the porter came
stealing out from under the ben-cur-
taiD. ".Oh, dear mep said she; 81

Prudence, come and take these bot

We know not to what paper to
credit the following, but they are
good:
Free Trade means to native in
dustry J smelling another's beefroast-
ing; Protection means eating the
beef. Therefore Protection is a
a square meal; Free Trade is q
fast.
Protection is poverty prohibited
Free Trade is ruin recommended.
Protection means taking out fire
insurance policy; Free Trade means
setting fire to your own frame build
ing without being insured.
Producing raw material for ex-
port and importing it as manufac-
tured goods, duty free, is like giving
your neighbor your own hens eggs
to hatch, and then buying the chick
ems from him.
Protection means keeping your
fences in repair; Free Trade means
suing your neighbor for his cattle's
treepass, being non-suited for negli-
gence, aud paying the cost.
America possesses the almighty
dollar, and protection will enable her
to keep it. Free Trade will give
her in exchange an English shilling
with silver at a discount. Will
America swap?
# "the longest way round is the
nearest way home," then exporting
raw material and placing no tariff on
manufactured imports, is the direct
road to prosperity. But experience
proves that it isn't, therefore, that
little 'if' is very properly italicized.
The difference between Free Trade
and a protective policy is, that in
one case the stable door is kept
locked, in the other it is only fast
ened when the steed has been stolen.
England is thinking of locking up
her stable; this significant fact
should make America inquire, have /
got a spare horse to lose?
So much for British Free Trade!
Shall we, too, try it, with the same
Or a worse result?

Die and lar more ef-
fectual remedy than any other. Those who have
tried it, know that it cured them; those who have
not know that it cures therneighbors and friends;
and all know that what it does once it does al
ways that itneYer fails through any fault neg
glect of its composition. We have thousands upon
thousands Ofcertifcates Of ftheirremarkabl BILE cures
Of the following complaints, but such cures are
known in every neighborhoOd, and we need not
publish them. Adapted to all ages and conditions
IN all climates containing neither calomel norany
deleteIious drug, they may be taken with safety
by anybody. Their sugar-coating preserves them
ever fresh and makes them pleasant to take, while
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise nom
their use in any quantity.
They operate by their powerful influence on the
internal yiscera to purify the blood and stimulate
it into healthy action-remove the distractions
of the stomach, bowels, liver and other organs of
the body, restoring their irregular action to health,
and by correcting, wherever they exist, such de-
rangements as are the first origin of disease.
Minute directions are given in the wrapper on
me box for the following complaints, which these
PtttS rapidly cure:-
For Dyspepsia or Indigestion, ListIess-
ness, LanguOr and AOss OF Appetite, they
should be taken moderately to stimulate the stOm-
ach, and restore its healthy tone and action.
For Liver Com pLaint and its various syr1p-
toms, Bilious Headache, Sick Head
ache, Jaundice or Green Sickness, Bill.
1Ous Collie and Bilious FeVeF's. they should
be judicously taken for each case, to correct the
cause it.
For Dysentery or Dfarrh0ea. Int one
mlld dose Is generally required.
fOf HAheunlatism, GOut, Gravel, Pal
p1tau0n OF the Heart, Pain in the
side, Back and LOins, they should be eontin-
uously takeni as required, to change the diseased
action Of the system. With such change those
complaints disappear. '-'70
For DrOPsy and DrOpsicaI sweIIiues
they should be taken N large and frequent doses
to produce the effect of a drastic purge
For Suppression a large dose sbouId he
taken as it produces the desired effect by sym
pathy.
AS Dinner Pill, take one or two Pills 20
promote digestion and relieve the stomach
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and
bowels into healthy action, restores the appetite
and invigOrates the system. Hence it is often ad-
vantageOus where no serious arrangement exists.
One who feels tOlerably well, often finds that a
dose Of these Pills makes him feel decidedly bet
ter, from their cleansing and renovatng effect on
the digestive apparatus.

APork prinoe on Senator M0rt0n.

APork Prince on Senator Morton.
A lady correspondent of the N. Y.
San has been sojourning in Indiana,
and very naturally happened round
at one of Senator Morton's home re-
ceptions. Shesays:
At the first reception given by
Governor and Mrs. Morton, l was
standing near a pork merchant
pork prince, 1 might say; he was
richer than princes-when, looking
at the twain, surrounded by a brill
liant assembly, he broke out with an
oath (my prince would swear in any
company:
sD-n it all! I went to college
with that man. Look at him-Gov-
ernor of the State! D-n it all, look
at mel I graduated"
AS his remarks seemed more ad-
dressed to me than to any one else,
1 ventured the reply, "Did not he
graduate?"
Pork King-Not he. D-n it all
fell in love. No more college for
him.
Sun Woman-Did you know him
before he went to college?
Pork King-Yes. Boys together.
You see, his father sent him
to-d-n it allL(making motions
with his hands as if hauling up a
rope)
Sun Women, laughing-What do
you mean by that?
Pork King-Dipping hats in the
coloring vat. Oliver had a mind
above going through the hand over
hand gestures again( ;d-n it all and
his aunts insisted upon it he should
be sent to college. Fine student;
was getting along splendidlySwhen
in vacation he happened to meet
that little lady over there. Fell in
love head over heels On it all had
no sense, couldn't study couldn't eat
couldn't sleep and when she discour-
aged his suit he threw up his books
went kome and married. Look at
him now. Governor of the state of
Indiana D-n it all look at me.
Sun woman-What was Mrs. Nor
tons name.
Pork King-Lucinda Burbank,
daughter of Isaac Burbank, merchant
of Centreville. You see Morton's
father moved to CentreYiIle from
Salishburg, where my father was a
blacksmith. DZn it all; there's the
blue blood of iron in my veins, and
that's the way Oliver got acquainted
with his wife. She was a mighty
sweet little girl and brimful Of ener-
gy Sand ambition. She has done
much toward making him the man
he is.
