Cullen Bryant the poet, was the editor.

IS perhaps worth recording here. In
some sketch or report of mine which had
been published the words tpSe dixjt were
made use of. l was called into Mr..

press all my thoughts in the English

again to use a Latin, or any other for

cal.

Take the case of the painters in New
York. to-day; there are probably two
hundred good artists. They are all
well-trained, industrious, and eager to
make o name and fortune. Yet out of
the two hundred there arc only somo.
twelve or fifteen who make living, and
not more than two or three who ACQUIRE
o fortune. But you will notice that the
successful painters have some gifts above
their fellows. One is noted for his treat
ment OF the skin, another has nice
sense for the arrangement Of draperv, n
third can paint an arm or q hand, O.
fourth gives you a likeness in which,
while your features are preserved Won
appear at your best. One artist has a
trick Of color, another of form. And
these specialists have achieved distinc-
tion and fortune, while ninety y-eight per
cont. OF the other painters, who arc
equally as good in the technique of their
profession, literally starve, and arc finally
driven into other pursuits. Now" con-
tinued Mr.. Bartlett, "the same thing is
true of medicine, law, and literature, as
well as in general business. ."-Rccord

According to the London Standard
Oscar Wilde's critique of Mrs. Langtry's
first appearance is "a yapid pean OF
beauty in the abstract and the con-
crete" The London Globe retorts:
"'Abstract' beauty, we take it. is logic
ally that beauty which exists apart
from material substance-the same
beauty, in fact. which Mr.. Oscar Wilde
once detected in the calves Of Mr.. Hen
~ lrving's legs as Hamlet. One of
his legs the aesthetic sage is reported
to have said, is longer than the other,
but it is not easy to say which Is tho
more perfect poem.'"

Yesterday there died at the international
hotel man who, though but little known
in this vicinity, has had notable and use
full life. Prof. Henry Fries arose from his
bed at an early hour in the morning, suf
fering acutely from suffocation. caused by
imperfect action of the heart. After being
up about an hour he felt relieved and
started up stairs to return to bed, but be-
fore reaching his room he fell in a fit. He
was carried to his bed and medical assist
ance summoned, but it was too late, and
he died about l o'clock in the afternoon.
Prof. Fries has been here but short
time, and was employed in the orchestra of
Woods Opera house. He was musician
of high attachments and a composer of
considerable distinction. He resided at
Boston previous to the war, and while in
that city was an active member of several
musical societies. On the outbreak of the
war he entered the service as leader
of cavalry band, and at
the close of hostilities was ap-
pointed leader of the famous marine band
of Washington. Family difficulties ron
dered life at the East intolerable, and sur
rendering his lucrative post he came West
in search of rest. He was for time To-
Gated at Minneapolis but came to this city
nearly year ago. He was fifty three
years of age, was Mason in good stand
ing and was insured for $4,000 in the
Masonic Relief association of Washington
for the benefit of his children. His re-
mains will be given burial with Masonic
honors this afternoon at 2o'clock from the
International hotel. The members of three
bands in this city will attend
the funeral, playing a requium during the
march to the cemetery at Oakland. At the
grave chorus of male voices will sing
Mendelssohn's beautiful "Unter allen
whimpfen list rhu."
Messrs. Lsip & Gilbertson, proprietors
of the International, have taken the tender
est care of the deceased during his resi-
dence here, most of which time he has been
more or less ailing, and have taken care
that his remains have received proper care
and interment. They have also paid every
attention to the details of the funeral, and
will see that the effects of the deceased are
looked after and turned over to his rela-
tives at the East.

The senate bill authorizing the city of

to the amount of $15O,000 each, for build

under suspension of rules.
The Ramsey county members we're taken
by surprise yesterday in hearing bill
read from the finance committee, and in

ing of the old capitol. Mr. James Smith,
Jr., promptly asked that the bill be with
drawn, saying in explanation that when
Market hall was rendered the state upon
the destruction of the capitol, it was with
no idea of ever making any charge for it,
and that the same feeling still existed.
Mr.. Hicks, who was in the chair,
remarked he thought the bill very proper
one, and further, that in the absence of the
mover Mr.. Collins having stepped out of
the room) he could not consent to the
withdrawal. He then referred the bill
back to the finance committeefrom which,

Emma Abbott,s R.turn.

The sale of seats for the Emma Abbott
Opera company's return engagement will
begin this morning. The success of the
performances during the first half of this
week was so great as to induce the man
agement to cancel other engagements and
announce farewell season of six nights
and two matinees beginning next Thurs
day evening. The repetory is as follows:
Thursday and Monday evenings, reproduc-
ton of the latest success, Gilbert and Sui
livan's ''Iolanthe," with the splendid cast
which gave it last Tuesday evening. Fri
day, Victor Masses love lyric, "Paul and
Virginia. Saturday matinee Doni-
zettis' comic opera elixir of
Love-" Saturday evening Flotow's
sparkling opera MARTHA with Emma
Abbott's exquisite singing of "The Last
Rose of Summer" Tuesday evening An
ber's delightful work, Ezra Diavalo."
Wednesday afternoon, the popular opera,
"Chimes of Normandy" and
Wednesday evening, for Miss Abbotts
benefit, fine double bill composed of
Bellini's immortal opera ''La Sonnambula"
and the miserere scene from "Trovatore."
This repertory will afford rich musical
treat, and the citizens of ST. Paul will
certainly give the company that
liberal patronage which Miss
Abbott and her excellent
company deserve. 1t is beyond question
that the company possesses in greater
measure than any other which has visited
this city in recent years, the elements
which constitute first class musical or
ganization.
