vivid sympathy IN Gounod. Gounod has been more
fortunate than Mendcssohn. While the latter saw
the public return their tickets when his perform

that Of a goat. On board the United States
man-of-war Alaska there is a bear cub
which was obtained at Sitka by an ensign,
and which is the pet of the ship. It is q
very playful and sociable animal, climbs to
the maintop when 80 minded, and roves in
freedom throughout every part Of the ship.
On Its first appearance on board 1t devoured
all the soap and candles in sight, and ate
two officers dress suits. They were obliged
to lock up the soap in an iron safe to keep
1t out Of reach Of the bear, and the ensign
who owns the animal Is mortgaged for two

on the BARRIERS shop Of the ship and eat all
the shaving soap, shaving cups and brushes,
hair-oil, combs and brushes. by order Of

eating them, the animal having made
severa attempts In that direction, s. z,
