When Lully, the celebrated composer,
was once dangerously i'll, his friends
sent for cOnfessOr; who finding his
situation critical, and his mind much
agltated and alarmed, told him there
was only one way by which he could
obtain absOlution, and that was, by burr
ilg all that he bad composed Of an IN
published opera. RemOnstrance was IN
vain. Lully burnt his music, and the
cOnfessor withdrew. On bis recovery, a
n0bleman who was his patron calling 10

which be had made. "And so, said he,

In our notice of Mr.. JOHN STUART Mill

what was one of the most peculiar of bis
nolions-orc which drew down upon him
much ccnsure from persons who could not
tolerate Il difference of opinion on politico.

him good reason for writing what we quoted
Saturday upon the subject OF the tyranny
of popular opinion. We aIudc to his
teaching that land should not Ice transmitted

the Government and let out to tenants. He

Mr.. EpAliSns. after the war, was practical

There will be one good result from the
troubles in Louisiana-the word "rebel !"
will be rendered still more abSurdly incon-
sistent with its original meaning than it was
made by the Federal papers during the "late
unpleaSantness." The MCESERY mcn-those
who support the Governor that was elected
by the reoplc-thoSe who pay all the taxes
and monopolize all the responsibility of the
State-are spoken Of as "rehelS.' We would
not choose TO be one of the "loyal" in these
latter DAYS.
