ADJUSTMENTS.
OLIVER DouD BYRON.

DIV XIX DOl ID IN kun.
Another fair audience gathered ut the
Opera House, last night, TO revel in the
thrilling scenes (poster expression OF
"AcrOSs the Continent The speciality
parts were changed somewhat, and were
still very good. The play itself was
scarcely above medioCrity. But it's
hard to say what medioCrity is. But
the audience seemed 10 be very well
pleased, and that ought 10 be enough.
We are still OF the opinion Mr.. Byron
is not much OF an actor. His lines are
very poorly recited in many instances,
and the prompter had great deal to do
TO help him ont.
Banks. Pendy and Gardiner are good
in their specially acts, and Shaw, as the
Italian, is better than ordinary.
Tie ladies OF the cast were only toler-
able, sustaining their parts 10 the salts
faction OF the audience. In the third
act, Miss Byron was complimented in
the shape OF 4 handsome bouquet.
THE ARMSTRONG CONCERT.
The concert to be given tonight at
New Weisel Hall by Prof. Armstrong,
assisted by several OF our home artists,
promises 10 be q most entertaining one.
Among the numbers on the programme
We notice in particular the "Danse Ma
cable" Dance Of Death by st. Saens,
for two pianos This selection /. a.sym-
phonic poem, descriptive OF legend
which was painted on the walls OF the
French cemeteries in the Thirteenth
century, and represents Death, with
train Of mssquers, sweeping away people
of all degrees, all dancing. This wilt be
interpreted by Profs. Armstrong and
Hermann. and no doubt will be fine.
Mrs. Caldwell will sing a song COM
posed by Prof Armstrong, and she will
also sing another song with violin obli-
cato by Prof. Schockey. Prof. Arm
strong will give the largo" from con.
certo in G minor by Beethoven, as
solo. Mrs. Whitaker and Mr.. Lucas
will also assist, and We think all will be
pleased that attend. Two new grand
pianos, 3 Chickering and Steinway,
will be used.
THEATRE CoNIQUE.
Manager Furlong still continues TO
hold forth at the Academy OF Music
with strong company OF speciality ar
fists. The hat spinners and the Indian
club swinging are FIRST class attractions,
while Mason and Wesley in their negro
acts are taking very well. There was
slight change in the bill last evening
for the remainder Of the week.

The "Gerinan."

The german, which many persons regard
as a wearisome dance, despite its abundant
waltzing and variety, is greatly relished by
a number of young persons, particularly
young women, to whom the diversity and
quantity, not to speak of the ''favors,n are
a special attraction. Ii gets its name from
the country whence it was borrowed, and
was the rage there for many seasons, but OF
late had been neglected until this winter,
when il has sprung into new countenance,
and is danced with more feryOr and Zest
than ever. The german has received so
many claboratiOls and Improvements in
this country that it Is quite another thiAg
from what it was at its first introduction
into American society. 1t has always been
fashionable on this side the sea, because
they who give a german need large draw
ing or ball room, provide luxurious supper
and expensive favors, demanding, of course,
a spacious house and a liberal income
Fashion means money and plenty of it. If
there be money enough, other things like
good taste, delicacy, fitness-ranked as
secondary in exclusively modish circles
may be modified or omitted. They who
are enamored OF dancing ought TO be attach
ed to the german, which usually lasts from
four to six hours The whole evening, or
rather the whole night, is devoted to it.
1t begins late and ends early-in the morn
ing. Not infrequently the dance is inter
rupted in order to partake of an early
breakfast, physical exhaustion requiring
sustainment from food and wine. Carriages
containing martyrs to the german are seen
rolling home by the light of the dawn, and
50 tired are they that they not seldom fall
asleep on the way, and with difficulty
drag themselves to bed, where they spend
most of the day. The protracted dance is
certainly dissipation, for it dissipaies
youth, freshness, health, and great deal
of money. Any young woman who will
dance the german habitualiy for five Win
tiers can be sure of looking prematurely
old. One feature of the dance this season
is that it has drawn many persons Of ripe
maturity into it. Usually in most cities,
society people cease TO dance when they
get married, and even bachelors relinquish
terpsichorean measures ~ thirty or there
abOuts, Now, the german is led not rarely
by grandfathers, and mothers move in the
same figure with their married or marriage
able daughters. Perhaps the german is re-
ncwing our youth. 1t should do something
Of the sort as compensation for the youth ii
lays waste.

In tableaux vivants poems may be illus
trated by series of living pictures. This
is more interesting than simply to perSonify
some one picture Any of the magazine
pictures will give ideas for tableaux. Many
of these can be represented with music,
keeping the musicians in the background
out of sight Many of the scenes in song
may be represented in this way. We will
give one, as for example, the ''MistletOe
Bough;" first represent room decorated
with green, a company assembled, gayly
dressed and dancing, while lady or gen.
tleman behind the scene sings the verse
represented, in distinct tones, and so on
through the whole song, the last scene rep
resenting the children in lumber room,
opening an old chest and exposing a skele
ton, old flowers, etc. '.Auld Robin Grey"
and 1.-The Three Fishers are easily repre-
sented. Still another variety of tableaux
is a song represented in pantomine, for in
stance, the song of ''Blue Beard" and 80,
They Marched Through the Town" "a
Gipsy Camp" makes a very pretty tableaux.
''The Madonna - Coming Through the
Rye" ''An Artists Studio." ''Paul and

certas. The inventor of the sonata form Is
torelli, and of that Of the concerto TOrelli.
By concerted music we understand instru-
mental music with different parts in which
all the instruments are equally Obligsto.
This class comprises tine trio, the uuartette,
the Cuintette and other pieces where each
instrument has its separate part, and the
syr.phOny. BOcherini was the first, who,
III l16S, fixed the qu6r;ette and quintette,
or chamber music. He was followed by
Giardini, Cambrini and faguani, and in
another school, by Pleyel, Haydn, Mozart
and Beethoven The symphony, improved
since the middle OF the last century by
GOssce, Washall and Emanuel Bach. was
in its form perfected by Haydn, and in its
Instrumentation by Beethoven. Other
symphony composers of various schools fol-

Rubinstein. \ symphony orchestra con-

and necessarily calls for additional strings
TO balance. Thus the modern symphony
composer has at his command five colors-
strings, wooden instruments. brass, harps
and instruments of percussion-with all the
of shades. As to the number
of instruments, | consider an orchestra of
thirty-five strings and twenty wind instru-
ments, or about sixty performers. all that
is needed to render any work satisfactory
under one baton.

The Chinese Cuisine.

The sharks fin is a delicdcy which is
rare,y omitted from the menu at Chi
nese feast. 1t is one of the ''great classic
dishes" forming the pieces de resistance
of an official banquet, and Is eaten either in
the form of a joint, garnished with crabs,
or served up in small pieces in cups placed
before each guest. The consumption of
rats, though it seems to be somewhat on
the decline, is the cause of very important
traffic in the principal towns of certain dis
tricts, and especially in street in Canton
called Hing-Loungkai. Here these AMI
L ais may be seen in enormous mui.itudes
hanging up in the shop windows amongst
chickens and ducks and geese. They are
for the most part dried and salted, and
when in that state are esteemed a sovereign
recipe for those whose hair is getting thin.
Besides the dishes peculiar to the Celestials
alone, there are a variety of. differences in
their mode of cooking ard eating foods un-
known TO our cuisine. Hams fOrinstance,
are kept for year, or even two years,
buried in sawdust. which imparts to them a
taste of wood much appreciated by the
gourRets. Broad beans are fermented, and
after being mixed with salt, form a very
favorite saLce eaten with all sorts Of viands.
Finally, the habit of eating ''rotten eggs, "
which sounds so strange to European ears,
is explained by showing that the so-called
rotten eggs is only ducks egg preserved
fer long time in an air-tight envelope
made of ashes, chalk, tea leaves, and .
number of other strange substances. until
the yolks turns first to green cOler, and
then to n fine black, when it is considered
fit to be eaten.

Putting the Churn in Mourning.

''Yes, Mr.. Spicer," said the Colonel,
'.there were quaint characters enough in
the old service to have furnished re-
cruits fory our Spice column for long time
if / could recall them ali. There was old
DIR. Lance, one of the most skilful physici-
ans in the south, and well and faithful he
served us as surgeon of the-th. Wrapped
up in his profession the doctor was careless
of his personal appearance, and often obli-
vious of his surroundings. Returning after
a brief furlough which he had taken to at
tend the funeral of relative, the doctor
rode into camp mounted on his well-known
sorry white steed, and wearing on his head.
instead of the customary slouched head
covering a tall white hat with two thirds
of the crown encircled with rusty Grape.
''Now plug hat of any kind was a
rarity in the army, but such peculiar plug
as the doctors could not escape observation
and many gibe was leveled at it unheard
by the bsent-minded Esculapius until
a soldier who had more whisky than dis
cretion in him laid hand on the doctors
bride and greeted him with:
''IIello, Doe"
'.Arousing himself, he bestowed a freez-
ing look and a Sir upon the audacious
one.
SIN no way disconnected the soldier
cheerfully remarked;
'Well, doctor, the old COW has died at
last, hasn' shei"
''Cowl What do you mean, sir." said the
doctor sternly.
''Mean?" drawled The son of Mars, as he
stood back and bestowed a long look of
mock pity at the doctors tall white hat:
why | supposed the old COW must be dead.

A Fsyorite Horse.

Pantlind was going from Carson to Calf
fornia, and resolved to bay a horse and
light wagon and travel in that way, because
other people generally Travelled on the rail-
wav, and PaEtiind doesn't like TO do things
as other people do. He was offered horse
at a reasonable figure-''a horse that Hank
Monk used to drive, the owner said. Pant,
hunted up Monk and asked him what kind
Of horse il was.
THAT hOSs," said Mr.. Monk, in a draw
ling way; that there hoss was always my
favorite-"
Pantlind was in a hurry. He didn't wait
for further particulars, but rushed off and
bought that hOSs" at once. He hiiched
him up and started Olf-that is, he tried to
start off, and put in a good deal of time
trying. The horse was balky to the last
degree 'ConfOund him. said Pant. ''he'd
balk going down hill" The bland smile
of the hotel keeper was replaced by an
angry frown when he found Hank Monk
and reproached him for recommending the
horse.
Il didn't recommend hIm, Pant. l
wouldn't recommend him for nOthin' 'cept
to feed crows
''Why, hang it. didn't YOU say that he
was your favorite hOrse?'
''Why, no, | did inland you didn't wait

Washington Society in 1875.

The circle of what was termed ''good
society at Washington had been, and was
then, very limited in its extent and simple
in its habits Few senators or representa-
tIves brought their wives TO cheer their
congressional labors, and parlor of ordi-
nary size would contain all of those who
were accustomed to attend social gatherings.
A few diplomats, with the officers OF the
army and navy stationed at headquarters,
were accompanied by their wives, and
there were generally few visitors of social
distinction. The most friendly and cordial
intercourse prevailed, and those who met
at dinner parties and at evening entertain
ments were like members of one family, in
general sympathy. The costume OF the
ladies was classic in its scantiness, especi-
ally at balls and parties. The fashionable
ball dress was of white India Grape, and
five breadths, each a quarter of a yard
wide, were ali that was asked to make
a skirt, which only came down to the
ankles, and was elaborately trimmed with
a dozen or more rows of narrow hOunces,
silk or cotton stockings were adorned with
embroidered clocks" and thin slippers
were ornamented with silk roSettes and
tiny buckles. Those gentlemen who dress
ed fashionably wore ''Bolivar" frcck coats
of some gay-colored cloth, blue, green or
claret, with large lappels and gilded but
tons. Their linen was ruffied; their Cos
sack" trousers were voluminous in size,
and were tucked into high 'Hessian" boots
with gold tassels. They wore two and
sometimes three waistcoals each, of diife-
rent colors, and from their watch-pocket
dangled a ribbon, with bunch of large
seals When in full dress, gentlemen wore
dress coats with enormous collars and short
waists, well-stuffed white cambria cravats,
smaIl-clothes or tight fitting pantaloons,
silk stockings, and pumps.

WIIue's winter Coat and its Lessons

In a peasants home, poor but thrifty, sat
a young mother, plying her needle, in the
soft, summer twilight, for the wee Willie
whose ringing laughter from the little gar
den told its own sweet tale. The husband
sat near his wife in that wearied listlessness
which is made such a luxury by a hard
days toll
''HOw shall we ever get on when winter
comes, George; 'Tis hard enough in sum
mer: but what will it be them" The ques-
ton awoke something within that mans
slumbering soul that sent a quiet glow over
every look and tone, ''Mary, lass, what art
thou making therel''
"a warm winter coat for Willie,
GeOrgei"
IL guessed as much. Does the young
rogue know about it:'
''Not he dear lamb"
"won't you tell him to prevent his wor-
rying about winterf"
''He worry. Why hearken to him,
George. He's as happy as the day Is long;
and even if he had the sense to think about
winter, he'd trust mother to keep him
warm"
AYE, lass, and VOW the boy is wiser
than his mother
Mary's eyes filed as she caught her hus-
bands upward look, and the cloud Of dis
trust was rolled from the hearth by theil
child's trustfulness.

QUIET HOURS.
noe
The morning will soon lie here,

The morning will soon he here,
For over the purple hill
The daylight is chasing he night away
With foot that is noiseless and still
Oh. tie night WIS go long. so long!
As sat by the window alone,
WstehinS tho moon as it slowly rose
I'LL a5Uve the trees it shone.
1t Looked, ss it hung in the sky,
Like goblet filed to the brim
With vine Of an amber, golden hue;
But now it is white and m,
As if il had all been quaffed,
And only the glass remained,
with the faintesi, palest, shimmering tinge
To show what it then contained.
AZ once, when it fullest seemed,
With the sparkling, glittering vino,
A single star, like fieck of foam
or the precious jaice OF the vine,
Went drifting, drifting of,
AS We sometimes lose day.
That, when the goblet of life is full,
Silently flosts away.
Eut now the daylight is here,
And the sad, vague thoughts Of night
Have died away, as the sunbeams fall
Like arrows of golden light.
Ah, It's quiet hours like these.
When we wistfully look above,
And see the works of the great, good God,
And think of His tender love,
That help us TO brsver be,
And strengthen US on our way,
Till the beautiful night OF life at las.
Is merged in eternisy'- day.

The inspectors of factories in Prussia are
working hard to put down infant labor. At
Berlin, thirty three factories have ceased
employing children, and in the others
there are only nine under fourteen years Of
age The same has been the case in nearly
III the provinces, notably in the district Of
Frankfort-on-the-O Oder, where in the $50
cloth factories, employing 14,O0G hands,
there are now only 1900 minors, this being
diminution of twenty-three percent.
since 1876; while in the districts of Cologne,
Coblentz and Treves, the total number Of
children employed has fallen from 1884 to
4237, and of these all but sixty-one are
over fourteen years of age The inspectors
take great care, also, that proper sanitary
arrangements are made, and that the mas
tiers do all they can to protect their work
men from accident. One curious fact
brought out by the inspector in Westphalia
is the wandering disposition of the work
men. He instances q manufactory, en-
ploying 1000 hands, in which from one to
two hundred of them leave every month
