A Musical Triumph.

Christmas was celebrated with
special pomp in the Catholic and
Epi scopal churches. At 1890 A.
NJ, in the Cathedral, grand Pontifl.
cal High Mass was celebrated by
Right Reverend Bishop Mora, as
sisted by q numerous clergy. A
select portion of Prof. Conterno's
band, consisting of first and second
violin, flute, cornet and bass viol,
co-operated with Professor Knell
and his organ in furnishing an i'm
pressive accompaniment to the
singers. The mass sung on the oc-
casion was Haydn's fourth. q nota-
bly, fine and difficult production of
one of the finest of the masters,
which was rendered for the second
or third time in California. The
choir consisted of Madame Maria,
Mrs. O.W. Childs, Mrs. j. G. How
ard, DR.. Fernandez, Mr.. F. B. Fam
ming and Mr.. Arevalo. Madame
Maria sang the contralto roles in
the Kyrle aud Credo, anu we have
never heard her delicious voice to
greater advantage. She infused an
immense amount of soul and reed
like, vlbratory sweetness through.
out both parts. Mrs. Childs
achieved decided triumph in her
Interpretation of the swelling har-
monies of the Gloria, and Mrs. ].
G.. Howard rendered what is known
amongst musicians as the Portu-
guese hymn-or. in common par.
lance, the Adeste or rVenite-with a
sensibility and expression which
must have somewhat interrupted
the devotional mood of the worship.
ers with sentiment of worldly ap-
probation of harmonies which
were divine without regard to their
sacred application. We confess
that We listened with surprise to
the leading tenor solo-the Est In
carnatus-as rendered by Mr.. f. B.
Tanning. It revealed to us vocal
and artistic capabilities In that
gentleman whose extent we had
not gauged. 1t is hardly too much
to say that this was the vocal and
orchestral gem of the mass, for
singer and instrumentalists were
alike fairly blended in q comming.
ling of delicious harmony. We
have heard and admired flaming
for years, without dreaming that
he had the materials of that solo
in him. This splendid mass is
written mainly for the tenor and
sopranos, but this fact did not pre-
vent the glorious basso of DR.. Fer
nandez from asserting itself with
splendid resonance during the SER
vices. We will venture the asser-
ton that the finest church music,
and that by long odds, heard in
California church Christmas, was
listened to in our own Cathedral.

The Strasburg Clock.

Much has been written and said
by travellers abroad about the Won
derful clock of Strasbourg; OF its
ingenious mechanism; of is me
chanical moving figures; its grand
calendar, orrery aud astronomical
working calculations. AS its ooun-
terpart, which commenced its Sc
ries OF exhibitions in this city on
Christmas Day, combines all Its
features, both in appearance and
workings, 1t will no doubt create a
lively desire on the part of all to
see it. 1t is to be continued day

In May 1884, bill intended to
limit the privilege of franking was
sent from Ireland to England for
the royal appreciation. In it was a
clause enacting that any member
who from illness or other cause
should be unable to write, might
authorize some other person to
frank for him, "provided that on
the back of the letter so franked
the member doth at the same time
give under his hand full cert,ti-
cate of his inability to write"

But what would the great show be
without rider like German, or q
Juggling equestrian artist like Pauline
Lee, or, above all, without equestrian
wondcr-workcrs like Madame Dock

Dockrill, who gracefully manages
four horses amid the astounding accla-
nations ofincredulous crowds. And
there is Francesca Brown, whose home

est ambition is to excel the world in
demonstrating the performance of i'm

arc not one-half of the wonders per-

Discovery Of the Northeast Passage.

While the scientists of America, England
and Germany have been disputing about the
existence OF a northwest passage, Professor
Nordensjold, a Swedish scientific man who
seemingly retains some of the adventurous
traits of his Berseker ancestors, has turned
his steps and his thoughts 10 exactly the op-
poste direction. He is in fair way to dis
ent. Wednesdays New York Herald contains
the story Of bis expedition up to the 9th Of Au-
gust at which time it had reached the mouth
of the Lena. The expedition, in which four
steam vessels are engaged, left the Norvegi-
an coast on the 25th of last July, entered the
Kara Sea August 1st, aud was at the mouth
of the Yenisee on the 7Lh Of that month.
There two steamers rested, and the other two
went on, passing the difficult Cape Tchelius-
kin, aud reaching Yakutsk on the Lena as
they intended to go on to Behring's Straits,
Professor Nordensjold believing that the
most difficult part of the journey had been
accomplished.
This is the third expedition of the kind the
Swede has been engaged in. Ia 1876 he fol-
lowed the coast to the Yenisee, went up
that river aud explored Siberia. The follow
ing year he went up tbs Yenisee again. His
discoveries led him to the conviction that it
vas possible to find navgabe passage be-
tween the Yenisee and the north cape OF
Asia, Cape Tcheluskn. His belief is that
the great volume of fresh water pouring into
the Arctic sea from the Yenisee, Obi aud 9TH
er rivers thaws the ice along the coast and
pioughs passage deep enough to enable
vessels of heavy burden to make their way
into the Pacific. His success affords the
best possible proof of the correctness of his
belief. 1t, as he says, the most difficult part
ofthe voyage has been accomplished the prob
lem OF northeast passage is virtually solved.
Most of US, Jpnacquainted with the dangers of
northern seas, would naturally think Profess
sor Nordensjold had discharged the hardest
part OF his task when he learned to pronounce
the names of the capes he has passed.

Richardson is very happy in his way of put
