Both the people and the priest.
This they said, in measured sentence.
With clean hands and eyes uptu1ned:
"You were wicked, Chicago,
Very wicked hence you burned"
Like the worthies in the furnace,
They were Gods especial care;
They had passed the fiery tempest
And no smell Of fire Was there.
Hark! Whit news is that so startling,
Which is flashed along the WIRE

The invitation to Wagner to visit Chicago is
now officially confirmed. Dr.. Franz Hufer has
sent the following note to the London Adae-
s.G,tna respecting Herr Wagner: May be
allowed to quote the following facts in answer
to the common prejudice that the circle Of Rich
ard Wagner's admirers is strictly confined to the
limits Of his own country. The master has
lately received an Invitation from Chicago to
conduct performance Of his works IN theatre
to be built for the purpose, and with artists Of
his own choice, in order to commemorate the
reconstruction Of that city. For various reasons,
amongst which the preparation Of the 'Nibel-
ungen performance at Bayreuth may be quot
ed as the most important, Wagner has declined
this honor" Several other facts are adduced,
but this one above mentioned is alone Of local
interest and will occasion very general regret.
