Skill must have many engagements and his band
must be constantly under his direction. We
may see in New 7 orS one eminent conductor re-

Steinway Hail from ten to one. Then leave
for Brooklyn, where matinee may be held
from hait-past two to five o'clock. At eight he

certain repose of manner. dignity combined
with personal force, and an omnipresent eye are

1t is not difficult to understand why some
highly gifted. yet highly susceptible artists, have
been compelled to resign the magic wand, find
ing that their efforts in other departments of art
required all the energy they could expend con-
sstent with health and happiness. Yet even as
composers they may suffer from cramp in the
hand. which will affect their success as pianists.
For they cannot dictate the details of an orch
estral score to an amanuensis or employ any OF
the many resources of the literary producer
whose type writer or stenograpbist relieves him
of much manual labor. The sculptor may have
his marble roughly prepared for his use; q
painter may leave many details to an engraver;
an architect may indicate in general way his
forms when they are prepared symmetrically,
yet the composer must write all his details in
ertenso, for they are rarely repeated without
some slight modification: They are as the

The trial OF the wretch. Guiteau. Is now draw
Ing to u close, and the time has about come for
q few plain words 10 him and to his ATTORNEYS
Let him bear in mind that for some DAYS after
the shooting OF President Garfield it was very
doubtful question whether his case would be
LEFT for Jury TO determine. For week or ten
days afteT mis- Infamous act ten thousand men
could have been got together in this city in
thirty minutes to put him ont OF the reach of
fudge or Jury. But. while the President fingered
in pain and suffering. the law-abding public
had time for second thoughts. and the almost
irresistible impulse to tear his assassin limb from
hmb. gave way to the cIiner and better deternl-
nation to leave him to be punished by the
deliberate and regular processes of the law
This change was not because the people.
ceased to desire him 10 be punished by the death
penalty. which he deserved, but because they
wished that punishment TO be the result OF judi
cisl action. In this determination the people
Of this city and of the whole country have won for
themselves honor and glory, FOR IL ever in the
history OF crime an Infamous death at the hands
OF an outraged people was justified bycireum-

Decline of Italian 0p.ra.

The Saturday ReUie,o takes the following
gloomy view of the condition of Italian operas
in England:
1.-The condition OF the opera in England has
for some time been one of the most curious phe-
nomena of modern society. ,Plutocracism has
obtained almost complete possession of the
reins. and the result is a species of entertain
meat which cannot be called either genuinely
artistic, dramatic, or musical. The rcpertory
consists chiefly of a dull round Of constantly re-
curing works of that kind in which the shallow
fussiness OF conventional finales takes the place
OF genuine dramatic climax and the common
place pOmpous display of theatrical pageantry
that OF genuine dramatic effect in which the
Chorus singing is aboninable. the acting uncer-
tain and too often bad the Instrumentation gem
orally poor andqulte unworthy ofthe superb band
which is called upon to perform it, and the Ian
guage, one which is sometimes unnatural to the
play, often superaoGs to the singer ard ALWAYS in
comprehensive to ninety per cent. Of the audi
ence. Tie set-of against these disadvantages
is string OF sedatiye tunes and the singing of
the most efficient yocaliZefs TO be found in the
circumference of the globe.
for these advantages people continue not
only year alter year but decade after decade TO
pay simply preposterous prices. Many do SO
Just because the prices are prepOsterous; some
because they would not be in complete comfort
in the circle of their acquaintance if the source
OF chit-chat based on a common apparent inter-
est was TO fall short; and some because il is a
polite entertainment, and where the upper ten
have gone before the next fifty will gady fol-
low after. So the forces of habit, levity, and
vanity all conspire to support the rottenness of
this branch OF theatrical DEVELOPMENT and to
suppress any earnest attempt at Improvement
III fact, the deterioration of substance has gone
on SO long that it is beyond the power of the
most astute caterer for public Improvement to
patch it. The whole raiment has got too old
and worn, and the ostensibly new pieces of .I.o-
heDgrfn. The Flying Dutchman,' Carmen
'Mefistotele," III Demeni0 and other less val
liable fabrics, which are let in, have only ten
dency to make the whole fly to pieces. Most
publics do by degrees get tired of the fruits OF
their own foolishness and rs this form of edi-
ficati0n has had very long spell. it seems likely
that its day is not far from ending, and that an
entirely new departure win be adopted"

NOVELTIES N TEmMINGs

Novelty chiefly appears in the description of
trimmings aud in the combination of different
materials employed in making up dress, which
material, are often as many rs three or four in
number different in color or texture. but
matched by the harmony or similarity OF tints
For the trimming of evening dresses one of the
latest novelties is white silk lace, embroidered
with gold or silver; ami mention may be made.
BY the way. that those ladies' who possess cid
lace of this kind can easily mOderDiZe it by
