4 Wayward Bohemian.


Among the party who crossed In the
same shin with Sullivan and Gilbert to
this country was Mr.. Alfred Collier. d
well-knowu composer and musician III

O sort of satellite of Sullivans. He is q
waywarl. Bohemian sort Of nature,
full Of invention and talent. But his
pockets are as badly lined as his
head is we'll furnished. NJ. Sulli.
van gives him his pocket.money, and,
in return, it is said, exacts from Mr..
Collier payment in kind. Mr.. Cellier,
indeed, is credited with writing great
deal, of which Mr.. Sullivan receives the
pay. In London the rumor is current
that Mr. Cellier wrote the greatest part
OF "Pinafore some say all but that
is probably al exaggeration, because,
at least one song-that Of Josephine.
in the second act, and siugularly
enough, it is the poorest in tho whole
score-is known to be Sullivan's own
composition. The statement that Gel
lier wrote so much of "Pinafore is
somewhat born out by the fact that this
little work is so far ahead Of any of the
other comic operas which Sullivan
wrote-the "Sorcerer and the 400, y
for instance. Both these works are
poor in invention and melody, and will
not for moment compare with the
"Pinafore." A gentleman who knows
Mr.. Alfred Collier Intimately, claimed
the other day to Dramatic NerS
writer, that he knew Collier had hand
in the composition of Pinafore." lie
says he could name certain portions OF
the opera which Collier wtote. lie says
that nearly all the choruses are his, as
for instance, the one that opens the
opera and the - Bright Blue Sea" and
Farewell, My Own LII these
said the gentleman i'll question, Mr..
Sullivan made some alterations, cutting
o great deal that Collier wrote. Collier
wrote song called 'Fair Moon, but
Sullivan did not like it, and wrote the
present ono himself. The English
man and chorus was composed in con-
junction by Sullivan and Collier, but
the peculiar accompaniment was Gel
lier's." Many other points of this
kind were mentioned, which, if true
land the rumor has been too general not
to have some truth liz iD, go to show
that MIR. Collier deserves some recog-
milton as part composer OF the brightest
Of English operas. Mr.. Collier is also
stated to be helping Sullivan out on
the new opera he has been writing for so
long, and that is why Sullivan had to
bring him to this country.-Ne York

A pig, so fat that it could hardly

saw poor. half-starved rat, that, with
much timii alertness, stole from its
hiding place, and after Selling one OF
the many grains of corn that lay scat.
tered around, quickly escaped with his
prize, and with very much the air of O
beggar who had asked for something to
eat, and had then run away, ashamed to
be seen. ,r.-.. o., ....v..-
"You poor creature" grunted the
pig, "wha. lifeyo lead; hnlf starved

Please to recollect," said the rat, as
he paused for moment at tho month OF
his hole, "when you heap your pity
upon me, that you receive favors and
benefits, not on account OF the love
your master bears you, nor on account
Of your own worthiness, but because
of the use which he intends making of

his liking. As for me, do not live in
constant fear of the butchers knife, and
I think it is likely that I shall keep my

longer than you will keep yours.

One day, however, q terrible storm
arose, and the sycamore, in spite of its

crushed the sapling beneath its huge

earth where it grew.
"Alas!' said the dying sapling," show

result was his incarceration in = cell
From some words he let fall, it was
learned he was stopping at the Green

him registered, not as Frank Smith,

On searching his room, he found the
cloth stolen f ON Boggiana the night

evident that the visitors have moved
