Sunday Performan noes.

"Even in the tenderest climes light
breezes will ruffie the flowers sometimes"
and even the cultivation Of oil the har-
monies discovered since the days Of Ter
pander does not suffice to prevent the
dainty little riots and revolts Of prima
donna, nor does any amount of experience
convince any manager that he is not safe
against the calamitous consequences of
rashly applied discipline. Miss Hauk has.
we believe, two points of objection TO the
use Of her name in concert programmes as
Mr. Mapleson has used it. One is that she
is prima donna and cannot be put into any
scheme Of performance in any way derog-
atory to that ineffably high station; the
other is that she objects to Sunday perform
ances, demands o day Of rest, and will have
it. AS the first point of this difference turns
on the consideration Of the respective Dig
nifty Of various parts in performance
it must be determined on the judgment of
experts; but the other point must turn on
the application of a we'll known law of the
State against Sunday performances. We do
not believe Mr.. Mapleson can support sue
cessfully his pretence to withhold his prima
donna's salary because she refused to appear
on Sunday, because in SO doing it would
probably be held that she only refused to
take part in al unlawful performance.

The world has been greatly agitated for
some days past over the news that an emf
nent conjurer, lately deceased, had directed
his tricks should be destroyed after his
death. A thrill Of satisfaction, however,
greeted the news that on his deathbed he
had consented that they should be handed
for sale to another eminent ex-conjurer.
His will which was published recently,
sons for his destructive desire. 1t
was, he wrote, $50 that no one may have
the benefit Of my brains after my DEATH"
This looks little selfish, to say the least.
What mighty estimate he must have put
upon his brains if this was his sole reason.
Perhaps he put it thus bluntly out of IN
unexpressed desire to have whatever his
fame was remain in its pristine glow. He
desired, it may be, to 60 down to posterity
as the only man who could get ten chickens
out Of hat or who could load blum
derbuss with gold watches and fire the
contents into two-pound loaf. Noble
ambition Then again he may out of pity
to himself have desired that as few as pos
sible should get behind the curtain and see
how hollow that loaf was and where he
kept his chicken coop. Under the surly
clause may have lain that tenderness OF his
name which drives SO many men to conjure
in vain with Death to hide the secrets Of
their lives. Well he knew that the skele-
ton is grinning under the solemn
faces of the conjurers in every walk
Of life How many of the mighty, the
admired among his fellow mortals, he
knew to be posturing as blessed with super
human power or prescence while there was
nothing but q sordid mechanism Of strings
and wires behind them. He knew the man
whose speeches were written for him; he
knew the man who bought a nomination or
an election; he knew the author who stole a
play: he knew the man who bought m in
vention and prospered while the inventor
starved. They all wore masks as amateurs,
masks that they never wanted to be lifted,
and should lie who wore one professionally
be less sensitive than they?
But Death laughs at these devices and
strips them of. Poor Heller seems at last
to have concluded as much. The fame OF
the conjurer did not seem SO great to him
when he lay dying as it had with the APP
plause of the young gentlemen and ladies
who delighted in his harmless art ringing
in his ears. So he wisely concluded to let
somebody else have 1.-The benefit Of his
brains" since they we're passing utterly
beyond being Of further benefit to him.
And startled civilization felt relieved

'sSomething Quiet. Something Gentle
manly"

In the effort to present on acceptable king
to the Bulgarians we have no idea of limit
ing our reccmme ndation to single indi-
yidual. Our object is to place good ruler
on the throne, and we propose to offer a
number Of available candidates to the con-
sideration Of the people of the principally,
SO that they may themselves select the most
desirable monarch out of the list. With a
sense OF the importance of the task we have
undertaken we should in the first place
have rendered to Bulgaria the name Of John
Kelly, who stands at the head of those in
this country fitted by nature to rule; but
Mr.. Kelly already fills throne, to the salts
faction Of his loyal and obedient subjects,
and despite an occasional civil commotion
in his dominions his dynasty seems securely
established. The next best suggestion that
occurred to us was Of one who has long been
willing to fill throne, but to whose ambi-
ton the fates have not hitherto been propi-
tious. Hence our offer of King Augustus
the First.
We now present to Bulgaria the name of
one who has occupied throne, which he is
just about to abdicate, and who expresses
yearning, after twenty years Of hard work,
for something quiet, something gentle
manly" at which he can occupy his time
and be Of public service. There is no good
reason why the position Of king may not
be made a gentlemanly calling, and the
crown Of Bulgaria will no doubt insure per-
feet quiet and peace for its fortunate
wearer. AS Tammany ruler Of New York
Mayor Smith Ely, Jr., is accustomed to
treat with those of the Greek communion,
and hence he will be in sympathy with
the bulk of his new subjects. He
will find few Albanians among
his people, but they cannot be as
troublesome 10 king Of Bulgaria as our
own Albinians occasionally are to a mayor
of New York. The new rule in Bulgaria
may require caution, and in this quality
King Ely excels. His reign might, more
over, conciliate such Bulgarians as may at
present hold official positions, as their new
monarch would not be in any hurry to de-
mand their official heads. King Ely Monld
make an aminble, honest rnler, and the
throne of Bulgaria would he quite as gen.
tlemanly, and according to pastand pres
ent experience. much more. peaceful than

of Public Parks.

AT the meeting of the Board Of Appor-
tionment yesterday some remarkable ad-
missions were made by the President of the
Board Of Education relative to the ill-venti-
lation Of the public schools. In making his
appeal Mr.. Wood referred to the question OF
ventilating the school houses, and stated
that his Bord was not responsible, but the
Board OF Apportionment, for if the latter
body did not allow the Comm ;ssioners Of
Education the money they asked for they
could not yentilate the school buildings
He also stated that several schools in differ
ent parts Of the city were poorly ventilated
and crowded much beyond their capacity,
and in which the smell OF overheated hui
mainly made him almost faint when he
entered the class rooms. This is nice
admission for a president OF board to
make! II the air in these wretched class
rooms was SO foul that strong man
became faint in few seconds after
inhaling it, what effect must it have
on the innocent children who are COM
PEELED to pass several hours every day ex-
posed to its deadly influence? Because
there is not enough money to give the chill
dren under their care pure, healthful air,
is that any reason why they should seek to
increase the mortality among the juvenile
population Of this city? Parents send
their little ones to school for an education
that will the better fit them to per-
form the duties Of life that come
with manhood and womanhood, and
not to expose them to disease and DEATH
When asked by the Mayor if it was not pos
sible to yentilate the school houses with
the money on hand the President replied
in the negative, giving as an additional
reason that his Board had not as yet ascer-
tanned the best ethods for ventilation.
though they had consulted any number Of
persons on the subject. 1t would be in
teresting to know what class of persons
had been consulted Mr.. Wood has either
admitted too little or too much,
and the onus of explanation rests
decidedly on his shoulders. Mean
while parents have the fact staring them full
in the face that several of the public
schools are unfit for human occupancy; and
when their children come home complain
ing Of headache, nausea and loss Of appe-
tite they may rest assured that the school
house in their neighborhood is among those
which have caused Mr.. Wood to "feel

ceasing to exact illegal fees and conforming
to the provisions OF the law. The agitation
OF the subject will direct attention to the
expediency of making at least the County
Clerks and Registers offices salaried posi-
tons, and of remodelling the law regnlat-
ing the Sherifi's charges SO as not only to
make the fees equitable, but to provide for
more ready and effective penalties in case
Of extortionate or illegal exactipns.

The Bar Association has received the re-
charges in the Offices Of the Sheriff, County
Clerk and Register, and has instructed the
committee to take such action as shall most
summarily correct the abuses found, while
judiciously expressing the desire that no
prosecution shall take place when an
discontinue the illegal practice. There
does not appear to be any attempt to deny
the fact that the fees charged by all the ac-
cused officers are in excess Of those au-
thorized by law but an excuse is offered
for the practice-frst, that the legal fees
of the offices, and next, that the fees col
lected by the present officials are the same
as those collected by their predecessors and
not before objected to by the payees. Of
course neither plea Is q justification
OF the violation of the law regulat-
ing the charges, and would be no good
defence in case Of prosecution. The
arraigned officials have no right to demand
or receive any greater amount of fees than
the law allows them, and the people, out Of
whose pockets the money comes, have
right to the protection to which the law en-
titles them in this matter. The main OBJ
ject Of the Bar Association is to secure .
discontinuance Of the abuse, and this will,
no doubt, be accomplished. There is no
desire to prosecute any Of the present off,

mittee having the matter in charge affords
