Astonished TenOrs.

One of our leading German musical con-
temporaries publishes an unusually funny an
ecdote. Some time ago five "leading' vocal
lists, engaged for tour through South Amer
ica met for the first time on board the ocean
steamer in which their befths had been taken,
and in the course of conversation made the
discovery that they were all tenors and men,
bers of the same company. Unable to con-
lecture what object the impresario could have
had in view in providing himself with five
tenors, they respectfully demanded an explain
alton of such unwonted lavishness in their
particular line. "Do not trouble yourselves,
gentlemen, about my arrangements" replied
the enterrrising manager, 81 know what an
about perfectly well. Depend upon it, |
shall want you all five. You will see, soon
after you get across, that three, if not four, Of
you will die of fever, and shall be dependent
upon the survivor, whoever he.may be, for
my first tenor parts. Experience in tropical
and sub-tropical tours has taught me the pe-
cesslty of providing against accidents of this
description. Besides, please to consider what
a splendid professional prospect am opening
out to at least one Of your number. Gentle
men, l wish you very good morning"

81 once remarked to the general" says a
correspondent of the Cologne Gazette who
with General Skobeloff during the Russo-Turk-

constantly exposing himself to the enemy's
fire without the slightest necessity for so doing
DO you suppose was the answer, that it
gives me any pleasure to let the Turk Dhoot
at me? If 60 into danger I have good
reasons for it. My superiors envy me on &C
count of my success, and would gladly take
an opportunity of getting rid of me. The only
way, therefore, of keeping my place is to
make my troops so enthusiastically attached
to me that they will follow me anywhere and
make me indispensable and in order to do
this must behave with that reckless bravery
which always endears a commander to his
men,"

GARFIELD MEMORIAL SERVICES

Yesterday the Garfield memorial
services were held in the house of re-
representatives., the senate participating.
The telegraph gives the following
meagre account of the eulogy, dehv-
cred by Mr.. Blaine:
Washington, d. c., February 27.-
At 10 O'Clock the doors Of the capital
were opened, and in a half hour the
galleries of the house were filled with
those fortunate enough to hold tickets
to the Garfield service. The house
was called to order at twelve, and
after prayer by the chaplain, the
speaker announced the house ready to
perform its part of the ceremony. At
1910 the members of the senate en-
tered, followed by the judges of the
supreme court. The president arrived
a few minutes later A prayer was
offered by Chaplain Power. President
pro tenn, Davis, introduced Mr.. Blaine,
VINO, IN lOuQ, clear voice, READ MS
address.
The eulogy was completed at $50,
having taken just IN hour and-a half
in its delivery. As Blaine gave utter
ance to the last solemn words, the
spectators broke into a storm of ap-
plause, which was not hushed for some
moments. The address was listened
to with interest, and the silence was
unbroken, except by signs of relief
such as arise from large audiences
when strong tension is removed from
their minds, when the speaker passed
from his allusion to the differences ex-
isting in the republican party. The
closing benediction was offered by Rev.
DR.. Bullock, chaplain of the senate

SOCIAL PROGRESS.


1t is a great error to suppose thai
the tightly fitting raiment of our wo'
men of late years, or the prevailing
taste for the display of form at oul
theaters, is evidence of broader SEN
suous reach over the public mind. II
is Just the contrary; and two facts,
which only the more observant class OF
both sexes have yet advanced to a
consciousness of, will account for such
tendency in a way far more satisfactory
to the lover of his kind. 1t has not
been commonly noticed that during
the last half century there has been
great improvement in the average per-
lection of form in both men and
women. Fifty years ago beauty of
form was the exception, to-day 1t IS
the rule. While the other fact
is that more refined intelll-
gence prevails with both sexes,
which has led to a great curtailment OF
that false modesty in woman which
used to be one of the staples of the
satirist, and standard witiCism of the
time. II need not be hurtful to the
vanity of the queen sex to say that
woman sensible Of possessing an at
tractive form is less hostile to close
fitting wear than she would be if
angular and unattractive. There is
no necessary sexual or sensual element
in our admiration of form. The mind
need not be disturbed in its serene
perception of the lines of beauty,
by any shadow of an impure thought.
And as intelligence attains higher de-
velopment in both men and women,
it will be found that we are approach
ing nearer to that Paridisean state in
which we shall again be naked and not
ashamed.
1t is but just to interpose this de-
tense against the slur Of the feeble
newspaper satirist upon the occupants
of the theatrical front rows in the the
aters of our large cities. The bald
head victim of this impotent libelles
has arrived at keener appreciation of
form in the degree to which he has
passed from the sensuouS dominion
and, if retaining none of the sexual
element, will have passed to an ex-
IRENE appreciation of the beauty and
perfection of the human form divine.
Thus when we observe, as we do, the
tenacity with which ladies adhere to
the elastic materials for dresses, we are
not to jump to the false conclusion that
women are receding in modesty or men
in morals, but rather that the mind is
advancing to a condition of purity by
which it will cease to be debauched by
displays that would, to perfect con-
thence, inspire only worship of the
Divine Author of all beings.

came off in Philadelphia on Thursday,
There were few men present. Sew

in the convention was the presence OF
young women. A hard-minded matron
with silvery grey locks, named Smith,
addressed them and mixed too muchly
the sciences of politics and household
economy. The young women were
advised not to marry any young man
who would not vote by contract, and
also agree to divide equally the money
made by the marital firm. 1t is un.
