Retaliating Musically.

When the future composer OF the
ssBarber of Seville was quite young
man, the manager Of the San Nose
Theatre at Venice became seriously an
noyed with him in consequence OF his
having engaged to write for another
Venetian theatre = the Fenice = and
treated him with so much incivilty that
Rossini determined to be revenged up
on him. The manager, had been ma
licious enough to give Rossini Ebret-
to so utterly ridiculous that to make It
the basis of tolerable opera was out OF
the question. Rossini however was
bound to set it to music, and,
in default of doing so, would have been
required to pay damages. In this diff
Guilty he resolved at once to fulfill his
engagement, and to take his revenge
upon the manager by setting the absurd
ibretto to music which transcribed itin
absurdity. His score was, as one OF the
biographers describes it, ''ludicrous.
grotesque, extravaganza to the degree d
caricature.''s The bass had to sing At
the top of his voice, and only the very
lowest notes of the prima donna were
called into requisition. One singer,
whose appearance was always the sig
nal for laughter, had to deliver fine
drawn sentimental melody. Another
artist, who could not sing at all, had .
very difficult air assigned to him, which,
that none of his faults might pass UNI
perceived, was accompanied paanassinsO
by pizzscdto of violins.

Shut the Door.

The education of our youth Is sadly
neglected in one direction, and that Is
in closing and fastening doors after
them. Careful observation has salts
fed us there is no use of trying to teach
some people that accomplishment. It
appears to be a natural and, probably,
an inherited inability, just as with some
people there is no such thing as know
inc one tune from another, as with
others tits impossible to acquire facility
and hardness in the use of tools.
Modern ingenuity has tasked itself to
make up to suffering world for the
incapacity or negligence of people who
never close door by the application Of
weights or springs that will automati-
cally do what every man, woman and
child ought to do instinctively. But
these appliances themselves shirk their
duties, and they are not susceptible OF
universal application.
There Dug ht to be a thorough course
of instruction in our schools in the art
of shutting doors. The first lesson
would inculcate the elemental and
simple duty itself. Boys and girls
should be kept passing doorway, each
one opening and closing the door for
himself and herself until not a mothers
son or daughter of them could leave .
door ajar. Then the finer features Of
the accomplishment might be intro
duced. There are people who always
slam door; there are others who hold
it open and close it so slowly that
whole procession of diseases, including
colds in the head, catarrh, sore throat,
diphtheria, inflammation of the lungs
and the epizootic can march through,
and the mercury of the thermometer
has time to get down into his boots.
But without becoming too fastidious
it is important that every one should be
taught to close the door and fasten it
in some way. The amount of time .
professional man spends, and the dis
lance he travels in his Office, in jump
ing up and closing the door after people
who neglect that duty would astonish
one who had never given the matter
thought. Be kind enough to shut that
door.

A Dogs Clever Acting.
London world.

Mr.. John Hare, the actor, may be
described as inhabiting the locality
known as round the corner" bis
dwelling being situated in one of those
pleasant hooks of Kensington just out
of the hurly-burly of traffic. At the
top of Hornton street, beyond the large
mansion just built, is house, if of any
order, then of the chalet order of arch
itecture. 1t is one of those houses
which appears to have dropped down
where it is without reference to align
ment or the seventies generally. Elk
ternally it is of fine Venetian red; in
wardly it is decorated after the fashion
which has received the name Of prov
erbially defunct queen.
For the moment the tenants are Smut,
black collie, with the proper quantity
often distributed about his person, and
a small terrier, swathed in dogs coat
and ensconced before the fire. Smut
makes friends at once with a friend OF
the drama, for he is a theatrical dog
perhaps rather amateur than profess
sional. While "New Men and Old
Acres was being rehearsed at the
Court theater, Smut, who went to the
theater every morning with his master,
followed him about diligently on the
stage, and in the ruins scene threw
himself at his masters feet in the most
picturesque of all possible attitudes.
On the first night of the wonderfully
successful revival of the comedy, which
he wrote with the collaboration of Mr..
Dubourg, Mr.. Tom Taylor was struck
by the want Of the dog in the scene just
referred to. To him the grouping was
imperfect, and after seeing the comedy
again he spoke to Mr.. Hare on the sub
iect. Now, Mr.. Hare was doubly SEN
sitive, as actor and as manager, to the
possibility of some ridiculous contre-
temps, and demurred altogether to
the presence of Smut upon the stage.
Dir. Tom Taylor insisted, and Mr.. Hare
protested, until, the success OF the piece
being assured, he yielded to the author $
opportunities, and Smut was allowed to
follow his master onto the stage in the
important scene. The sagacious beast
walked on as quietly as possible, took
not the slightest notice of the audience
and flung himself down at his master
feet just as he had so often rehearsed
the part. After this-as playgoers will
recollect-S Smut played every night
during the long run of "New Men and
Old Acres with such perfect success
that he became q prime favorite with
the audience.

Cologne's Cathedral.

Boston POSG.
1t is finished. The grand Gothic pile
which in inception, in promise and In
construction, has stood in the focus Of
religious and national interest fog
twenty generations, has at last reached
completion, has been distinguished BY
the ceremony of dedication, and now
takes its place as one OF the most mag
nificent monuments of history. We
have already called attention to the rise
and progress of this lordly and impos1
ing edifice For more than six HUNDREDS
years it has been one of the leading fea-
lures of the city of Cologne, and the
question has ever been not when would
this massive structure surrender to time
and decay, but when would time and
enterprise of quickened thought and
purpose carry to completion this work
so nobly plannedp Its prospects have
indeed looked dark at times, as dark as
the ages through which its towering
heights have stood; but its fortunes rose
with the barometer of progress and
enlightenment, and it stands to-day in
its grandeur the finest specimen OF
Gothic architecture upon the footstool,
and triumph of the artistic ideas Of the
past. When it was planned the refor-
nation was in the remote future, an
agitation undreamed of. The trans
forming influence of that religious rev.
olution upon the thought OF Germany
has given to this work character very
different from that which lay in tho
minds of it's pious founders. The total
absence of the Catholic clergy at the
dedication is proof enough of that.
Whether this absence was due to the
wish of the German Emperor, or to the
preferences of the clergy themselves.
we can not tell; but, IN either event, it
is to be regretted. Even tradition
should have had more honor paid it, and
evident, as well as recorded, purpose
should have been platform broad
enough for the representatives of Cath
Ole and conservative church and a Prot
estant state to meet upon in dignified
commemoration of the great events OF
the past and hopeful dedication to the
good of the future. The German EN-
peror wished to make it the seal of
united Germany, but his national spirit
was evidently warped and fettered by
his prejudices. The glory of empire is
far more to him than the consistency OF
history. He has discarded the past, and
has refused recognition of all the sig
nifcant eras in the progress Of this
monument, except so far as it reflects
German enterprise ut the present time.
We are glad that the world has such .
monument and such historical shrine,
and, whatever Kaiser Wilhelm may
think, it will mean much more to the
visiting hosts of AL nations than the
glory and consequence of his imperial
majesty.

A Proof Of His Innocence.

At one of the seasonal divisions Of
Dorsetshire, England, a certain we'll
known tradesman was summoned for
SHILLING and taking pheasant. He
was defended by the George Lewis Of
the neighborhood and acquitted, the
magistrate remarking that it was dis
graceful to subject a respectable man
to such a prosecution. So delighted
was the defendant at the result that he
insisted on his advocate dining with
him. In due course a pheasant was put
on the table, and it was pronounced to
be most excellent bird. eyes," said

A Dog that Died Of Grief:

Atlanta Constitution.
DR.. Martin, gentleman living on De-
catur street, tells the Constitution a re-
markable story about dog who actually
died of broken heart, "You remem-
ber," said the pleasant Doctor, shat
about two months ago my father-in-law,
Mr.. w. II. Harval, who had reached q
green old age, died. You may or may
not know that he owned at the time OF
his death very fine bulldog huge,
fat, sleek, fellow, who went by the name
of Ponto. For months and months be-
fore his death this dog was his constant
companion. There was something al
most human in the devotion of the dog
to his master, and, as natural conse-
quence, the master was particularly fond
Of his dog. The daily movements OF the
old gentleman, for long time before
his last sickness, were as regular as those
of clock, and Ponto followed him as
surely as his very shadow. They were
simply inseparable. When the old man
died Ponto took his place by the coffin,
and did not bulge until it was taken
from the room. Then he got up and
followed it closely to the hearse, and fol-
lowed the hearse to the grave. Ponto
came back to the house changed dog.
Every night he lay upon his rug in the
porch and moaned piteously all night
long. I have never heard any express
sion of human sorrow that was half 80
plaintive and touching as the moaning
of that dog, as, night after night, he
writhed upon that rug. Every day
found him making his rounds just as he
used to before the old man died. He
would walk slowly up the street and af-
ter awhile pass down the other side on
his way out to the plantation. Hewould
come back to the store, and after lying
under that chair few moments, would
get up, look into my face in the most
pleading manner, and then he would go
up to the house, and after taking his
place by the sofa in tho hall, suddenly
Spring up and walk through my father
| in-law's bedroom. He was looking for
his dead master. The family let him
have his own way, and I did all in my
power to console him. l tempted him
with the choicest meat, but he refused to
eat. offered him the warmest milk;
he would not drink. He went about
with his head down, tho very picture Of
sorrow. He dwindled away almost to a
skeleton, staggering around daily to the
places visited by his master in life and at
night giving vent to his distressful moan
ing. But this could not last forever, 50
one day about five weeks after his mas
ter died, Ponto came dragging his lank
and weak body down the street-that
same street he had travelled SO many
bright mornings with his master. When
he got by the fence there he stopped and
sank upon the ground. l ran to him.
and, lifting him in my arms, carried him
into the yard. 1 laid him gently on the

And one was clear as the crystal food.

The Guelph journals in Germany ex-
hibit no little irritation in consequence
of its having become known that in the
inscription upon the monument raised
by Queen Victoria in memory of the
late King George the latter is referred
to as 1.-The Last King of Hanover. The
Guelphs regard this as prejudging his
tory. So far from looking upon Guelph
rule as extinct in Hanover, they are at
present promising regal dignity to the
little SON recently born to the Duke OF
Cumberland.
