Nothing is more fatal to musical progress
in America, and to the value of American
criticism than the indiscriminate praise which
was formerly bestowed upon performers, ex-
cept the present habit of equally indiscrimi-
nate and unreasoning faultfinding. What
with managerial ruses, jealousies among mu-
slclans, and the comments, favorable and un-
favorable of hired bohemians, the public is
quite unlikely to arrive at the truth unless
the independent press will give fair, thought
ful and reliable critiques. Some years since,
when the interest in music was far less gen
eral than at the present day, and technical
appreciation was confined to the few, every
performer who came here with the prestige
OF an European reputation, however slight,
found no difficulty in reaping rich harvests of
profit and praise. Critics-never more severe
than when attacking their own knd-on the
other side of the Atlantic laughed al the
credulity of American musical journalists,
and performers soon learned to consider this
country as one where fame and money would
be lavished upon them, with no particular re-
gard to their artistic merit. Naturally fol-
lowing upon this came revulsion of opinion,
and now no artist is great enough to please
our musical critics of to-day. while speak
ing in this manner, we would distinctly say
that there are writers upon music, on the
staff of some of the papers of this country,
who, for scientific knowledge and artistic
appreciation we believe to be unsurpassed
among the critics of Europe.) Nothing is
easier than blame-it is easy to say that
Nine. Nilsson is poor singer and Nine.
Lucca no better; while the truth remains that
both are great artists, each in her own way.
The pure, penetrating tones of Nilsson, her
exquisite vocalization and calm, gracious
presence, and the warm, passionate voice of
Lucca, so full of dramatic energy-moonlight
in the deep Northern sky and a tropical noon
each has its own charm. These prime
donnehave received the approval of the cul-
tivated critics of Europe, and it shows want of
appreciation and knowledge in our writer's
not originality and independence-if they do
not accord to singer the prise, qualified it
may be, that is due to her. Criticism is nei-
ther praise nor dispraise, but the expression
of accurate and sympathetic judgment, the
result of thorough training and sincere
thought.

Talifar county, Georgia, boasts of a lady
widow of a confederate soldier-who is very
useful in small, social row. A pedagogue
living on her land threatened to wallop her
recently, and pretty soon thereafter attempt-
ed to carry out his threat. He was the worst
fooled man in the Union. The widow
knocked him down and walked all over him,
and then she set himup on his feet and jerked
him out of his socks; then she snatched him
bald-headed; and finally wound up the cere-
mony by padding him with board until he
had the Mysteries.

The opera season in New York, under the
management of Messrs. Maretzek and Jarrett,
has not met with the brilliant success that
was expected for it. Nine. Pauline Lucca made
her debut as Selika in Meyerbeer's gloomy
and ponderous tragedy, ''L'Africaine." AL
though Nine. Lucca has identified herself
with the role of Selika, the dreary, unmelo-
die opera failed to excite much enthusiasm.
As Zerlina in ''Don Giovanni"
and as the other Zerlina in "Fra Diavolo''
the native espieglerie of the singer found full
play and her bright preseuce, rich voice and
energetic action made very favorable i'm
preston. Miss Kellogg who seems to have ex-
changed her former repertoire for that of the
opera seria, has been singing to thin houses.
The tenor-that first requisite of an opera
troupe, is hardly adequate to his work. which

known basso of the Nilsson troupe of last
year, is always good and the baritone, Sig.
Moriami receives favorable notice. Every
year we are promised a fine chorus and Or
chestra and every year they break "the word
OF promise to our ear "and hopes alike. For
this, the management is of course to be held
responsible. But managerial funds are linz
ited-somewhere economy must be practiced
and it is clear so long as extravagant sums
are paid to secure a ''star'', that minor char
acters and mise-en-scene must suffer. IF the

manent basis by subvention from govern

Cold clouds drift slowly west;
Soft flocks of fragrant snow-fakes fill
The bluebird's empty nest.
The wan sea means on lonely shores;
Above the shelving sands,

Uplift their wasted hands.

Weird voices touched with pain
The pathos of the falling leaf,

To the Honorable the County Commission
crs for the County of Cumberland.
TUVHE undersigned, citizens of Cumberland county,
Il respectfully represent that the Indexes of the
Records in the Cumberland Registry of Deeds are
very unsatisfactory in their arrangement and general
condition; that they in the matter of
entries some of the books are much worn and soed,
requiring immediate rewriting, while others are very
obscurely written and liable to lead to error and the
method of indexing formerly in is entirely made
quate to the demands of so extensive records, thus
making the work of searching extremely laborious
and unreasoDably nconvenient
We further represent that Mr.. E. Leach has under
taken and partially completed strictly Alphabeti-
cal Index to the whole series of Records from the
date of the incorporation of the county in 1850 to the
present time; and that said Index when completed,
is calculated to save much labor and expense in the
consultation of the records, to expedite the
ton of business and to add greatly to convenience
of the public.
We therefore respectfully request the Commission
ers to examine the work of Mr. Leach, and to
tain his price for the same and if satisfied of the in
creased advantages possessed by MI. Leach's index
to purchase the same, if it be obtained for rea-
sonabe sum, and to cause it to be completed for the
use of the public.
We also request you to name place and an early
time for hearing of your petitioners.
