The King of the Cornet.

Levy, The great master OF the cornet, now
playing to immense audiences in New Or
leans, has taken that city by storm, judging
from the very fattering press notices he Is
receiving. The Times Democrat, of the
10th, in its criticism, speaking of his inter-
probation of the Romance of MignOn, by Am
broise Thomas, says: "There particularly
the artists great talent was revealed. Capoul
could not have sung this delightful melody
with more taste and finish, and when he
came to that sublimely graceful phrase %
printempsr the cornet alternately whispered
the tendersst of pisnissimos and rang
through the evening air with intensely elo-
quent prayer. Wilhelm Meister was really
near him then, and Mignon, the sweet in
comprehensive, actually listened to the
strain. Every shade of that exquisite COM
position of Ambrose Thomas was given by
the artist with rare taste, sentiment and cor
rectness of execution"

Some of,the papers have repre-
scented the habits prevailing at the
White House as very hilarious,
and not long ago the "Herald'
reported the President asspending
Sunday in fishing. Until recent
ly nothing has been said in ans
wer to these attacks. A cores
pondent ofthe episcopal Record
err and Covenant" has this to say
of these charges:
"Ispoke to the President recent
.ly ofwhat had been said in the
papers in regardt to his Sunday fish
ing, and he replied he had seen it,
and at first it annoyed him very
much, but as he could not pay any
attention to it, ne concluded to
let it pass without any remarks,
yet assured me most positively
that he had never done such q
thing in his whole life, and
"would no more think ofdoing sc
then to go through the street:
without any clothes" l am posi-
tive that the Presidents daily life
is as nearly without reproach al
the best of his predecessors"

just as without ono Flea.

Rev. Mr.. R. is one of the
most bashful men in the profess
sion and is constantly getting into
scrapes through his nervous mis-
takes. AT one time not long ago
while officiating in a town along
the line of the C. 2. r. R., he
arose in his pulpit to give out the
hymn, "This world is all a heeting
show" and after clearing his
throat, he struck a high pitch of
voice, and began solemnly: "This
world is all a Locating shoe"
Everybody smiled except the dea,
cons and the minister, who was
covered with confusion as he be-
gan again. "This world is all n
shouting flow" This only made
matters worse, and the unhappy
man cleared his throat with ire
mendous force and began again,
"This world is all a floating She"
Then he slammed the hymn-book
down, and wiping his clammy
brow, said: Brethren, for some
reason I cannot read that hymn as
it should be read; we will omit it,
and the choir will please sing
the grand old lines beginning:
"Just as | am without one flea

The following letter from Oscar
Wilde to a gentleman in Chicago
is ofinterest asa literary curiosity:
FAITH COTTAGE, NBwPoRT,9, II, 80.
My DEAR SIR: Replying to
your questions, 1 would say that
the pure man, like the lily, is un-
sullied by the mire il which he
may grow. The blossom ofthe tree
never looks to the soil about its
roots, but is sustained by the trunk
and the branches untilit has offer
ed up its incense, diffused abroad
its fragrance, and accomplished its
work. The perfect fruits gather
ed by the husbandman, the other
falls to decay and dust. This is
the divine order of development:
First, the germ of life, then the
leaf, and then the ripcned ear,
First, the vegetable, then the ami
NAL, and then the spiritual. First,
the natural man, born of the flesh,
and ofthe earth earthly; then the
spiritual man, born OF the Spirit,
the Lord of heaven, and not to be
again brought into bondage to his
own desires. Mans first duty is
to bring himself into subsection to
his King, and swear eternal fealty
unto Him, winning others by His
law of love, never coveting to gov
ern them by the sword. Caesar
Brutus, and Nero used coercion
and their kingdom is always divi
ded, but the Kingdom of God is
all in all, and the Prince of Peace
is on the throne. His kingdom i:
one. l am most respectfully
your obedient servant. o. WILDE

On Thursday night a young
cowsucker snake, about a foot
long, got into Justice Robinson's
office, in the basement of Masonic
Temple, Easton, Md, and located
itself under an old sofa, i'll the
back of the office, where large
spider had his headquarters.
When the spider discovered his
visitor he threw a web around the
snakes neck and fastenedit to the
bottom of the sofa above the
snake. He then proceeded to add
another web, and another, and
another, and another, until the
combined webs made a strong
cord, that completely fastened the
snake so that it could not eXtri-
cate itself. If it attempted to go
forward, the cord raised its head
higher and higher, until his snake
ship would be half off the floor. If
it attempted to go backward, it
ended in the same way. Such
was the condition of the snake
when it was found on Friday morn
ing by Mr.. Robinson. In the
meantime the spider was secure in
his nest above looking down upon
the snake and awaiting results.
Doubtless to the great disappoint-
ment of the spider, Mr.. Robinson
c%xtricated the snake from its hang
ing position, killed it, and threw
it out ofthe office, We had no
idea that a spider would tackle a
snake in that way.-Easton Star.
