-"DEAR BARON, During and after the
first representation Of Wagner's Parsl-
fal" the general impression was that
nothing could be said about this mira

who listen to ii, and It's pendulum
moves from the sublime to the more

through Italy, is said to have offered
Mime. Gerstcr $1,000 "A night for two

prefers to sing in Paris during the win
| ter, while the tenor Is hesitating wheth-
er to accept All engagement In the La
| Scala, Milan, the San Carlo, I'm Naples
or at Rome. 10 Is not improbable that
Maurel has been engaged by Col. Map
| lesOn.
The London Figaro says that mus
| zeal England was shocked when the

| lish musicians, went abroad and asked
| and asked GOunOd to write march for
the Duke of Albany's wedding. The
| same journal, however, laughs malic-
iously over the compensation just sent
to n. Gounod and bids English mus
icians" not lament their great loss. For
writing this march the composer re-
ceiyed an elegant photograph Of Vic
toria, one Of the Duke, and one OF the
Duchess. "For about three shillings,"
SAYS Figaro, an. Gounod could have
purch ased these photographs for him
! self"
A somewhat painful incident Occurr-
ed at the first general rehearsal for the
| birmingham Musical Festival, Eng
land. Sir Julius Benedict was engaged
| i'm rehearsing his new cantata, "GraZiel-
| w." and bad nearly reached the con-
clusion of the second part when he was
! observed to stagger, and almost ilnmed.
| lately afterwards fell back senseless. He,
| however, speedily rcgained conscious
| ners. and after apoligiZlDg for his indis-
positien Withdrew from the orchestra
He attributes the attack to overwork,
and it is earnestly TO be hoped that the
attack may not be followed by evil
results, for he can III be spared fromIthe
ranks Of the art world. Sir Julius has
passed the Biblical span Of years sllot-
ted to man, and but q short time since
entered into the bonds Of matrimony
with a youthful pupil still In her teens,
which forms but an additional proof Of
that unusual energy and determination
which has characterized every act Of
his long and busy life. He Is also the
happy father Of son not yet twelve
months old. It ID 10 be earnestly hop.
/ ed that his perseverance and devotion 10
hard work will not, however, prejudice
the many years Of usefulness we hope
! are In store for him.
