from doing this by guillibity and com

Singers Salaries.

The enormous and constantly increas-
ing demands made by our lrst'class
voCalstS in respect OF remuneration Tor
their services are not only unreasonable,
but border very closely on the impossible.
The evil has grown to such proportions
as TO be matter the public ought to
take CognizanCe OF. To the managers
these high salaries mean much lncon-
venience land public censure, while to
the general public they mean deprlva-
ton OF accustomed pleasures; for the
prices necessarily demanded by the
managers FOR the privilege OF listening to
our great lyric artists can be paid by on
" a small fraction OF our muslC-lovlng
people. Nor is this grasping disposition
and greed confined to those artists only
OF the first ability, for they have set an
example which is followed by host OF
musical leeches Of lesser note, so that IN
these days TO listen to even tolerable
music IS beyond the financial ability OF
the great body OF the people. To Illus
trate this subject by few figures take
the case OF Adeline Patti, who has Just
arrived in this country to make a con-
cert tour OF the states. We are not IN
formed as to the amount she is TO re-
ceive under her present management,
which seems to be kind OF domestic
syndicate, but the sum may be some
what correctly Appropriated by what
il being charged Tor tirSt-class aCComoda-
tons, which is only the trtie OF $40 a
head. From this, scaling the prices
down, We presume that tie humble
cit Z.n for fifty cents may have the
privilege OF standing on the sidewalk.
10 speak from known data Mr.. Frederic
Rullmann, German impresario, before
the commencement OF the present mu.
steal season offered Patti 100000 OF our
currency iCr merely a concert tour IN
the United States, but this amount was
not considered sufficient by Franchl and
Nicolini, who seem to have the general
management OF her affairs and who
demanded in round numbers the mod
est sum OF four hundred thousand dol
lars. There being only fifty con-
certs contemplated to be given, had Tn

The Increased Cost of living.

From the New York Tribune, November ..
Prices OF nearly all articles of food are
considerably higher than year ago The
light wheat crop in the West began in mid.
summer to affect the price of flour. and
then came the long drouth to parch the
pastures and prevent the proper growth of
the fruit and root crops, Now, with the
cold weather close at hand, the prudent
hOuSekceper finds that it is of no use to
longer delay the purchase of his Winter,
stock OF provisions, and realizes that the
high figures OF the past month, which he
thought might prove speculative aud tran
silent, are going to prevail until the crops OF
another year come into market. Taking
the average of the rise in prices, it is safe
10 say that the expense Of furnishing the
table OF family in the metropolis is fully
- per cent, greater at this time than in
November, 1850. Some articles have gone
up over 100 per cent; others have risen
only 10. Potatoes, which sold last Fall for
) - to $50 per barrel now bring - to
$500, and would be still higher were it not
for the importation of Canadian potatoes,
which find profitable market here in spite
of the tariff Of - cents per bushcl. Good
apples, which hast wear sold for an average
of less than - per barrel, now range from
II to -. The prices on meat show an
advance otfrom 10 to % per cent. and
would be still higher were it not for the
fact that the low transit rates on live stock
bring the beevcs OF Illinois, Iowa and Kan
sas. and even OF Texas in competition with
those raised upon the pasture lands of New
York and Pennsylvania. Flour has risen
about IL 4 barrel The advance in butter
and cheese averages about y per cent,
and eggs arc nearly 81 per cent above
usual Fall prices.
The increased cost of living falls heavily
upon the poorer classes, and upon the great
middle class, made up of people whose i'll
comes from wages, salaries, or the profits
of small retail business, cannot be adjusted
to meet the heavier bills at the butchers
and groccrs. There is no relief unless it
be in the practice of more stringent house
hold economies. The problem of living
in this city with tolerablc-degree of COM
fort is puzzlug one at all times for peO-
pie of narrow means, but it is nevertheless
true that, tried by French and German
standards, few American families could eS-
cape the charge of wastcful eNtrNya-
gance. Greater economy in huying and
greater care to avoid the waste OF food i'll
kitchen and larder will go far toward
compromising for the increased cost of pro-
visions.

Wasted Lives.

l
There is q river in the prairied West
Which runs sdOwn from is uncertain source
1Aloug its rpentine and Asrrow course,
But bears no traffic on its sluggish breast
WheH suddenly u sinks away, It's said,
Nor longer flows. but dies within its bad;
White miles away the waiting, longing sea,
In disappointment sOhs thruody.
Some lives ere like this self-engulfnG stream;
Within their narrow BOUNDS, with current
They move along with dull ard liStleSS How;
when, like this river in the West, thty seem
To sink away within themselves, nor gain
Humauity'S wide world surrounding main,
Whose currents are the lives and loves Ofmcn
Who dying Tor mankind do live again.
On every hand we see wasted lives;
grand possibilities disregarded and the
promptines Of. natures hushed amid
songs of pleasure that finally died away
in ignorance and i'll tears. All seems
to be forgotten in pursuit OF the phantom
pleasure as it is fashioned by the empty,
disgusting bauble, society. No high
proposes, save to serve the world oil
foollshness for day and then pass off
the scene of action, and, like the bubble,
leave nothing behind. Often, often do
we see those whom nature has endowed
with sense, fitting hither and thither at
the beck and call OF idle pleasure, tilrt-
ing, lying, selling their birth-right Tor a
mess of pottage that in the end sickens
and uauseates unto death. These peo-
pie want to have Jun, want to have
good time, want to shine IN society,
want to take life "easy," want to look
on the "bright side" and all such hum
buggerv as that. Well, they have these
things, mixed with the bitterness that
folly ever brings, for a while, but it is
ephemeral, and in passing away leaves
the idle seekers after pleasure wrapped
in the solitude that only fools can know.
Wrecked, they 90 on with no friends
worthy OF the name, no associations that
can console them, for they are untitled
TO be with men and women who drink
at the fountain OF knowledge, and have
all the great minds OF earth as compan'
ions. Poor, pitiable atoms OF humanity
they place themselves beyond the reach
OF the respect OF people OF knowledge,
and how often beyond the reach OF
mercy, Day by day they waste their
lives, and like the fly that keeps up its
horrible din all through summers day,
die from their own emptiness, their own
inexcusable nonsense. At the shrine
of folly theybow in blind alteration, and
are crushed by the juggernaut car OF
nonsense.
There are many lives like the river in
the prairied West. They lag along in
their narrow spheres and disappear
without benefling humanity, without
leaving anything to tell they once had
life and chance to be men and women.
Moral suicides, they die by their own
foolishness and pass away from the field
OF usefulness with unsatsted longlngs
and dead hopes, realizing at last that
they pursued phantoms, until ruin
stared them in the face and it was too
late to mend their ways, too late to grasp
the substance rather than pursue the
shadow
