Mercadante. the Composer.

Saverio Mercadante, whose death is
announced by cable dispatch from
Florence. was one of the most eminent
of modern italian composers, although
his works are but little known in this
country. He was born i'll Naples in
1898. and studied music under Nicolo
Zingarelli, the distinguished composer,
devoting himself for time to instru-
mental music and composing several
oyertures, some ballet music, military
airs. &c. At the earnest desire of Zln-
garelli he at length turned his attention
to vocal composition, and IN 1918 pro-
duced a grand cantata entitled "L'Uni
one dele Belii Arti," for the Teatro
Fondo, where it was well received.
After this he was engaged by the San
Carlo, and at that house produced his
first opera, "L'Apoteosi d'Ercole," in
1919.
In the same year he composed for the
Theatre Nuovo the opera bufia, ''Vio-
lenzare Costanza. He continued to
compose for the theaters of Naples,
Rome, Bologna and Venice, and. in
1922 had already produced eight ope
ras, among which were ''Maria Stuart, >
ELISA and Claudio, and "Andronico. '
He also composed many works at a
later date, and became great rival Of
Rossini on the italian stage. Among
his later operas was "1l Guiramento. .
(''The Oath, y the only one of his ope-
ratio works, we believe, that has ever
been represented in America. This
opera has had several representations
in Boston, the last one having taken
place at the Boston Theater March 13,
1861, with Madame Colson, Miss Ado
laide Phillips, Signor Brignoli and Sig
nor Ferri in the cast. Mercadante has
composed little, if any, for many years.
For some time he has been afflicted
with almost total blindness.

An Exciting Scene--panther Hunting
in Kentucky.

A panther hunt took place in Ken
lucky last week. The appearance Of
wild animals near the town of Rush
vile alarmed the people of the place,
and Messrs Morrison and Jetlries and
others organized "hunt." They
killed, three miles from the town, u
huge male panther, measuring eight
feet and four inches from the end of
the nose to the tip of his tail, and
weighing considerably over two hun
bred pounds. though apparently poor
in flesh. His teeth were white, almost
as snow, and his claws strong and
sharp. He was comparatively young,
and was fully competent to master a
half-grown bullock at least. The
beast was killed near the resi-
dence of Mr.. Burgher. The
country around is very broken,
and the citizens say they have frequent
ly heard this panther during the past
few months giving vent to unearthly
screams. Two little sons of Mr.. Burg

had been "treed," and, taking the gum
went up to shoot it. In a few minutes
they returned, very much frightened
and declared there was an elephant up
the tree, and begged their father and
Messrs. Morrison aud T. B. Harrison,
who happened to be present, to go with
them anu see it. Having reached the
point they found not an elephant, but a
huge panther, resting quietly in the
forks of Il tree, some 20 feet from the
ground. They did not approach very
near, but holding a hurried consulta-
ton, Mr.. Morrison started immediate
ly to town for men and guns, while Mr..
Harrison galloped off across the coun-
try for the veteran hunter, Mr.. Willis
Loving, leaving Burgher, his sons and
the dogs to keep watch over his pan
thershlp. During their absence the
panther kept quiet, occasionally giving
utterance to kind of low purr, raising
himself up, brandishing his tail, and
looking down with contemptuous eve
upon the faithful dogs at the root of the
tree In short time the reinforce
ments arrived, and assuming positions
at various points, four of them fired at
once into the left shoulder, reserving
the remaining barrel for an emergency.
Luckily, however, the shots were effec-
tual, and with a dull, heavy thud the
panther fell to the ground, his last ex-
piring effort being to knock one of the
dogs about fifteen feet with his right
arm.

The German correspondents of pa

are not so well treated as the foreign.
ers The story of the fellow named
Hotl was told in brief some time ago,
but the full particulars are now related.
He was correspondent of the Augsburg
Allgemeine Zeitung, the Vienna Press,
and the National Zeitung, and in one
of his letters he complained of the IN
different way in which German CORES
pondents were treated. The chief of
the field police. one DR.. Streber, took
otfense, and ordered him to join de-
tachment of French prisoners and leave
the district. Mr. Hoff believed him.

The latest novelty in job printing has
just been completed by a London prin-
ter, who had an order from a baker to
print large number of bill-heads on
three different colored papers, viz, red,
green and white. The object of this,
1t appears, was to avoid giving irstruc-
tions To the man who delivered the
bread, flour &c., to the customers. To
prevent mistakes, when the bill was
made ont upon red paper it denoted
danger, : and he was not to leave the
goods without the cash if on green,
1t denoted Caution as the customer
was doubtful, and the man was to get
the money if he could; If on white, it
was safe to leave any quantity.
