The Key to Carlyle's Genius.

In the lately-published Emerson and
Carlyle correspondence there is pas
sage from Emerson's notebook upon
Carlyle that may well serve to start us
upon our course in this essay. "He
has" says Emerson, "manly superiority
rather than intellectually there is
more character than intellect in every
sentence" This fact, with the conse-
quent steep inclination of all Carlyle's
faculties toward personality or personal
prowess, affords the master-key to him,
to his life, his works, his opinions, and
is brief summary of much that / have
written upon him. He was man of
vehement and overweening conceit in
man. A sort of anthropological greed
and hunger possessed him, an Unsuitable
craving for strong, picturesque char
acters, and for contact and conflict
with them. This was his ruling passion
(and it amounted to PASSION all his
days. He fed his soul on heroes and
heroic qualities, and all his literary ex-
ploits were search for these things
Where he found them not, where he
did not come upon some trace of them
in books, in society, in politics, he saw
only barrenness and futility. He was
an idealist who was inhospitable to
ideas; he must have man, the flavor
and stimulus of ample concrete per-
sonalities. Burroughs, IN the
Century.

What a fool old Adam was. Had
everything his own way; had succeeded
in gaining the love of the best-looking

satisfied with his conquest he had to eat

you had been in his place you would
not have eaten mouthful of the apple,
that is if it had required any exertion.
have often noticed that you shun
exertion. There comes in the difference
between us. 1 court exertion. 1 love

the coming enjoyment. Sometimes 1
am so industrious that muse too long.
No, am not in love at present.
saw young lady in Vicksburg the
other day whom / thought I'd like to

perfumed ice-water. an be loved into a
premature death of rapture. 1 would

Dearly Bought.

One of the greatest of the world S
singers was Madame Malibran. She
read music at sight, and could sing
anything she read. "You cannot play
anything" she once said to Ole Bull,
"be it ever so intricate, but can sing
Dit after once hearing it,.
The violinist accepted the challenge
and played caprice, full of techeical
difficulties. Malibran sang it correctly,
though it was a labyrinth of musical
phrases. Il cannot, even at this day, F"
said Ole Bull to friend, forty-five
years after, understand how she did
it."
This greatest of singers once chal-
lenged the greatest of violinists,
Paganini to musical duel. 1t was at
q soiree in Paris, and composers,
musicians and singers were present.
Malibran sang one of her spirited and
difficult arias, and then challenged
Paganini to play it without seeing the
music.
Madame" answered the violinist,
bowling, "how could dare, with all the
advantages yos possess in beauty and
your Incompatible voice, take up the
glover"
But the company pressed him so
strongly to dare" that he sent for his
violin. After simple introduction, in
which he now and then gave the theme
of Malibran's song, he played the whole
melody with such brilliant variations
that the amazed company applauded
him as the victor. The most emphatic
in proclaiming his mastership was
Malibran.
The vocalist died a victim to her own
ambition. At great musical festival
in Manchester, England, she sang a
duet with a soprano who held trill
for long time with great effect. The
sopranos success SO stimulated Nal
ibran that she determined to surpass
herself.
She forced O tone two notes higher,
and held it with SO much strength and
for so long time, that the audience,
amazed at the vocal feat, broke out in
to tumultuous applause. The effort
brought on hemorrhage, and in few
days the great singer was dead.
