AN OLYNPIAS FEAsT.-One OF the very
choicest things, 10 our thinking, ever pre-
sent6d by the Schillerbund, was the Olym-
plan feast to which a little circle of appre-
ciative friends were invited, Wednesday
evening, In the fne parlors OF one of the
members Mrs. Green on X street. IL was
indeed worthy of the gods and OF "the m IN
who strove with gods" With such a sub
ject as was there presented, In the hands OF
a reader who can hold an audience with il
as this one was held, one gets something
worth having and If such high and pure lit
erary interest can be associated with such
delightful entertainment as was had In this
case-then there Is richness ahead. 1t is a
iiors-not Second AudItors-and the imper-
fections of readers, on occasions similar to
this, SO often leave the impression that what
Is really entertaining in parlOr must be too
thread bare or frivolous, and what Is really
intellectual must be too didactic or heavy
Dot 10 say dreary. On this occasion an ap-
preclative student of DR.. Schliemann's work,
and reader able 10 make the Iliad move
like a fairy tale, briefly set before the listen
ers the heroic labors, the romantic marriage
and the unselfish devotion OF the enthusias-
tic German who carried on the second siege
and achieved the second conquest of Troy,
stated some exceedingly interesting facts
that were new 10 those present, and sharp
ened the taste for the rich fruit which fol-
lowed from the pages OF Bryant's maguifi-
cent translation. The mere repetitions in
the text were judiciously discarded where
they in the least impeded the rapid move
toms of the everlasting epic were Allied with
blood and breath. As we said above, to our
taste this is worth having, and we want more
OF the same kind.
