TIE MESDEI.ssoHS AND GoLDBECK.
The Mendelssohn Club, the most exclusive Of
all exclusive societies, rendered ut its lust en-
tertainment chorus for male voices sent on
for trial by Mr.. Goldbcci. This is the first time
such honor has been paid Mr.. Goldbeck by the
Mendelssohn, and some gossip has grown out Ut
it. The composer left New York under social
cloud which was so heavy that time has not yet
dispersed it. &c wants to get back here, and
no wonder, considering lis present location. To

various times solicited the production OF his
music The English Glec Club used to sing lis
"Three Fishers ~ with marked effect, due both
to the beauty Of the composition and Its excel
lent rendering, but musical people agreed that
Mr. Goldbcck could not regain his position i'll
society then, and it seems about thr same
feeling yet obtains. The reappcarance OF
Ole Bull is another revival Of the scan-
dal, since he played in the benefit
rendered the deserted wife. The tnfatuation Of
this lady, which no treatment was able to cure.
may be inferred from the fact that she insisted
on having one Of her husbands compositions
sung on the occasion Of this bcneit, and
took it as most unkind that she was refused.
AN UNPLEASANT INVENTION.
A genius in Brooklyn has created somewhat
of a diversion By trying the effect of blowing up
horse-car by a torpedo. The effect was to
throw the car from the track and two ladies
into faint. Such experiments may be inter-
csting to those who wish to get OH in science,
but they are less SO to those who wish
to gct home in the horsc-cars. The lat
ter hare enough to endure without being
blown into the air every other day or 50. II
the inventor were to arrange machine that
should go off under tho Brooklyn horse occa-
sionally, just enough to shock him into speed,
that might do. Or if driver were now and
then to be led aside andblown away by patent
rocket, that could be put up with. But the IN
gcntivc mind must not infer that everybody
.rossfng Fulton Ferry desires to go to Green
Tood. aud it would be still more fatal error to
imagine that anybody desires to 60 there in
pieces. It will be cheering to add that the tor
,edo was placed on tue track By night and that
The report Of it was like to that Of one Of the
big guns in the navy yard; also that the torpedo
was totally destroyed.
ART AND THE LADIES'
The Ladies' Art Association is making an in-

THE "LOEE HASD.''
