THE RErB1BUr1oN OF 4 HISS.

Mr.. Dutton Cook tells an amusing
story of man who Kissed the repre-
sensations Of Weber's "Der Freischuetz
in Paris. He was grocer's shopman,
and he was promptly elected by some
medical students, one of whom after
ward discovered the grocer's man in a
hospital. The man who Missed Weber
died, and his body was given out for
dissection. Hector Berlioz, fifteen years
later, revived the opera, and, in order to
produce greater effect, proposed to have
real skeleton in the Wolf's-glen scene.
By chance he met the student who had
turned out the grocer's shopman for hiss
ing "Der Freischuetz. After that I'M
fortunate man had been dissected his
skeleton was preserved.
"He's all right" said the student.
"He fills case in my consulting-room,
hung on wires and beautifully put to-
gether. There's not bone missing
not even one of his phalanges Only
the skull is a little damaged. L.

opera

"You will shortly
GO Un secret de comediee Well, I'll
send you the skeleton"
In box, corded and locked, the poor
shopman's bones reached the opera
house.
"You see this young man ?" said Ber-
lioz to the property-master. "He is
about to make his first appearance upon
the stage. His costume will be very
simple. You will provide him with an
iron rod, to be secured to his back, so
that he may bear himself as stifay as NJ.
Pepita when he is about to pirouette.
Afterward you ill place torch in his
right hand

"You will make hole in the grocer's
skull. Don't be afraid; nothing will
come out; it is as empty now as ever it
was. This is the skull Caspar's sword
will pierce in the Incarnation scene. He
will hold it aloft, and the blue fire will
fzz all around it.

May not the city hope in reason that the

now before the Legislature the President OF the

the claims at once of high character and OF art.
The Mayor can practically carry out this wise
provision by nominating Mr.. Daniel hunt

but because he is citizen of the class from
which Commissioners should be selected, ana
because he is n man of eminent and recognized

MAYOR GRACES OPPORTUNITY.

There is no probability that any legislation
ir regard to the parks can be matured at AL
bany before the first of May, so that upon Mayor
Grace will devolve the responsibility of naming
a successor to Commissioner Lane, unless that
functonary should find some excuse to "hold
over y" holding over" being one of the char
tered privileges, if not an original and inalicn-
able right of New York officials. Mayor Grace
will now have an opportunity to show his faith
by his works. The exposition he gave in the
columns of The TRIBUNE of the system OF po-
litical dicker under which the city is ravaged
by predatory statesmen was an accurate dag
nOsis of the disease to be cured. The remedy
to be applied so far as he is able to help on the
healing, is of the simplest. lie cannot wrest
the City Government from the grip of the class
which controls it. He cannot single-handed
work out any radical reform But he can do
lust what the best Mayor under the most favor
ing conditions would do. He name man
for Commissioner whose instincts, principles,
tastes and railing purposes in life are the direc
opposite of those manifested by Mr.. Lane in
his official career. Is there danger that the
Mayor would be thwarted by the Aldermen in
his efforts to make an ideal appointment! Pos

to vote definitely whether or not they are will

evident that his purpose is sincere and single to
secure for the city and the parks a service Of
the first quality.
Mr. Lane is an admirable representative of
the class in politics which holds that govern
ments have been instituted among men for the
personal advantage of oice-holders. He takes
pains to avow his creed with vulgar frankness
now and again, as in the circular which he has
recently uttered In this manifesto he brings
against his fellows railing accusation of per-
petratng what plainly seems to him the highest
crime against the State, to wit that they have not
made a square divide with him. Here were
14S laborers to be paid out of the public purse,
and 4 is contained in las 81 times and no re-

ONE OF THE BEST CHlRITYE.S.

When DR.. johnson, clearing his throat of
polysyllablcs for once, exclaimed, "A day Is
like year :" he could not have imagined that
his words would supply white fingered, sweet
souled Charity with text for systematic work.
The Young Women's Christian Association of
this city makes an ingenious use of the phrase
in its annual report, showing that its acts OF
Kindness and helpfulness are repeated day
after day, week after week, to hundreds Of for
lorn and needy members of the gentle sisterhood
of woman, until the circle Of a year OF homo
geneous benevolence is rounded out. When
the record Of a year is surveyed there is much
to encourage the friends of this useful and la
borous organization in their work of love. In
manifold ways relief has been extended to
friendless women, II systematic elfort being
made to promote a spirit OF self-rellance and to
multiply the means of self-suppOrt. Some of
these methods are described in our news col
umns this morning, and the annual report, which
can he lad at :he rooms of the Association, will
supply additional details if our readers choose
to interest themselves in what is a remarkably
well organized charity.
The Association is so efficient that it is eX-
ceedingly unfortunate that it does not receive
larger financial support. Although it has prof
tied recently by some generous beneiactlonS
ali that has been given to it is not available for
immediate expenses. The opportunities of the
Association for useful work i'll this city are only
limited by the necessities of women who are
dependent upon their own exerti0ns for sup
port. 1t does good work in the best way, and it
needs more money to do it with. Those who
will contribute to its support may rest assured
that their money will net be used in mere aims
giving, but that it will be devoted to enable
women to help themselves without forfeiting
their independence or self-respect. Can there
be better objects

A FRAUDULENT PATCHWORK or ACCUSA-
TION

The latest attack on the Metropolitan Museum
has met the fate of its predecessors Mr.. Ciar-
cnce Cook charged that two particular statues
in the Cesnola collection were made up OF a
fraudulent patchwork of unrelated parts" The
Trustees ordered these statues to be set where
everybody could get at them, and invited
sculpt0rs, workers in stone and anybody EARN
TO examine them to do so,-washing. scratching,
cutting or breaking, as they chose Launt
Thompson, Charles Calverley, John Rogers and
others of our best known sculptors, together
with some practical architectural workers in
stone, embraced the opportunity. Mr.. Feu-
ardent. who shares with Mr.. Cook the pa
terniy of the charges, engaged to accom-
pany some of these gentlemen in their
examination, but failed to do so. He was
wise in this at least for the sculptors
and the stone-cutters agreed. They washed,
scraped, pounded and cut and they all declare
that the statues are of solid stone. The YER
diet is unanimous and overwhelming.
The persistent attack upon the Museum
is thus shown to be as groundless a
it has seemed malicious. Mr.. Cook and
Mr.. Feuardent do not make even a pretcnce
of backing up their accusations when brought
to real test. They set out to prove the statues
patchwork by photograph; but there are
the statues themselves. They are invited and
challenged to show where these statues are not
of solid, unbIoken stone of one piece, but they
fail even to appear to sustain the charges, and
every expert i'll stone-cuttmg declares them
preposterOus.
If the artist whose lifelong business is 20
carve stone into statues, and the stone-worker
whose business is to cut it into arcEi-
tectural ornaments, cannot tell solid
stone from fraudulent patchwork OF
unrelated parts, who can Here, so far as
the newspapers, at least, are concerned, this
wanton warfare upon the Museum should end.
If the controversy must continue, 1t should be
before a tribunal of different sort.

BROKEN L4US or LIFE.

An incident went the rounds of last week 5
papers as occurring in one OF the interior towns
of Pennsylvania, which was marked with pecu-
liarly dark lines of tragedy. a young clergy
man of exceptional talent and sensitive tenn
perament gave himself during the last year to
hard study, setting extraordinary tasks for
himself, such as committing the whole Bible to
memory, etc. His brain suddenly gave way,
and he became a violent maniac and was car
ried to an asylum in the sight of the sympathz
ing town, manacled hand aud foot, and plead
ing wildly for his mother not to allow him TO
be taken from his home.
This is one of the hard problems of life which
make sceptcs inveigh most bitterly against the
Justice of God. Here was man whose purpose
doubtless was to serve his Master, to convert
souls from death but, because he overtaxed u
physical organ, he drops useless wreck by the
waysde. There are plenty Of similar instances
about us in everyday life. In the colleges, for
example. A young fellow becomes by dint Of
natural ability and hard work iirst-hOnor man
his classmates applaud every triumphant step
his family, mother and sisters probably, de-
pendent Oh his future success for support, hang
eagerly on him with proud devotion ; his life is
pure, MS aims are hiBh anu pure anu suuuehly
he staggers and falls to rise no more. Four
such instances we recall now: two are in in
sane asylums, one is an imbeclle, the other,
knowing that his brain was hopelessly diseased,
ended his life in the waters of the Potomac
Similar tragedies go on in every business and
profession, though with different catastrophes.
A man, let us say, is born with peculiar talent
or gift for music, art, literature; some capac-
ity for the high, fine expression of truth which
would make him power for good in the world.
But he cannot make money enough by it to
keep wife and children in the social rank which
he thinks they should hold. Hence he turns to
New-York tribune., 1882-04-23

1t is announced that the Board of Con-
troll" of the Democratic Congressional Cam
paign Committee has appointed Finance
Committee with r. p Flower, of this city, as
chairman. The prOpriety of Mr.. Flowers Sc
lection for this position at once appears when
it is remembered that it was, of course,
thought desirable, not to say essential by the
Board of Control that the chairman on FL
nance-Finance is genteel word-should live
in the city in which the party's main Bari
is to be found. 1t is understood that the
Bari will begin to flow forthwith, and that
the golden, or at least auriferOus, stream will
not cease until after the Presidential election
in 1854. And by the way, if it be true that
the Democratic party has really provided itself
with Board of Control" it is heartily to be
congratulated. 1t has badly needed the minis
trations of a capable Board of that nature for
the last quarter of century. Intelligent con
troll would have kept it from the long line OF
blunders, reaching from 1850, when 1t gave
aid and comfort to secession, to 1850, when
it allowed the uncontrolled Hancock to charac-
terize the tariff as a local issue.
