Collated from Cincinnati Papers.
These yearly musical entertainment justly
deserve the name OF festivals for they are
projected upon a scale greatly exceeding any
other representation of the lyric drama, not
excepting those OF Beyreuth. The dimen-
sions of the stage are unusual. 1t is 112 feet
wide, 80 feet high, and 76 deep. The pros
cenium opening is IS feet in width, and 45
In height. All the scenery is projected upon
the same large scale. Some of the drops"
such as the background in the drawing-room
scene in '"Traviata,' are So feet long by IS
feet high. The castle and courtyard in
Lohengrin is as spacious as it might
have been in real life; the ship in "L'Afri-
caine" has the dimensions of Vasco da
Gama's own sailing craft, and so continue
the large proportions of the scenes in other
operas. Most of the scenery is painted in the
enormous atelier OF the Music Hall. 1t hast
painting frame and bridge 100 feet long, so
that a dozen artists can work at the same
time on one canvas, while there are numer-
Gus adjoining rooms of ample size where
other artists are busy with set pieces. The
light for this remarkable studio comes from
a glass roof extending some 200 feet. Instead
OF the niggardly and inaccurate setting which
too often is found upon both the lyric and
dramatic stage, each opera is presented with
all its proper scenic effects, and the incest re-
gard is paid to questions of architectural and
historical accuracy. The same faithfulness
is observed in the costumes and accessories of
each opera. The entire strength of Her Ma
jesty's Opera Company are EN- raced in the
performances. The chorus is increased by a
body of local singers most carefully selected,
numbering some 100. These have been for
many months laboriously drilled by the cele-
.brated conductor and musician, Otto Singer.
The regular orchestra is increased d TO over 100
performers. The programmes of the festival
are selected with the view of displaying all
these attractions. Eight operas are given in

barrassment,. which other surroundings
would prevent him from tranSacting the
business in person. One feature of no small
magnitude is that a larger number of persons
become familiar with the programme of set
thing estates. 1t would be a valuable edu-
Gator.
Probate laws should never be intricate;
the attainment of justice should stand out
in bold relief. Something should be lett to
the discretion OF the judge or surrogate.
Every estate has its peculiarities and should
have a corresponding management. Some
sections OF the present act are by no means
clear and promote litigation. Some lawers
say the act will have to undergo considerable
Judicial revision before it is understood. If
this be SO, the law is unfortunate. 1t is
further said the law was passed IN the inter
est of clerks fees. Doubtless Sir John Rom
lily would have said OF this act as he did of
the English Jurisprudence: ga technical
system invented for the creation of costs.
Intricate laws, like complicated machinery,
seldom work well.
1t will take some labor to put a different
system in operation; but it is always
best to commence right, and then
perfect the system by careful
amendments. A bad basis should be aban-
doned. The salary of a surrogate need not be
as high as that of Il circuit judge. The prob
ability is that on the whole the expenses
would be reduced. Be that as it may, we are
not particular IN Nlgo county about eX-
penses. We nave a Superior Court and have
had :or years a Criminal Court, made neces-
sary by the inability OF the circuit judge to
transact all the business within the pre-
scribed time, The expenses OF the Criminal
and Superior Court have been paid out of
the county treasury. This circuit judge
spent one-third of his time in holding court
in Sullivan county; so you see We don't care
for expenses. If we did you would have heard
from the watch towers.
The man who will step forward, master
the subject and push it forward to com
pletion, will be a commanding figure in In
diana. The present system is not popular
with the people. Administrator would like
to do their own business, but they do not
like to go before the Judge in the presence of
a full court and transact business. 3D."

Portraits of Gambetta.

Pail Mall Gazette.
Last Monday morning, as soon as possible
after the death of Gambetta, kilograms were
sent to three of the greatest artists of France,
to NM. M%eissonier, Bohnat and Bastien-
Lepage. They did not, however, arrive as
soon as was expected, and NJ. Antonin
Proust. who was watching by the bedside,
observed with CONSERVATION that the features
Of the illustrious statesman were beginning
to change. He had himself enjoyed some
training in drawing, and accordingly he made
a sketch on the fly-leaf OF a pamphlet which
happened to be lying in the room. This
drawing has been reproduced in the Paris
Figaro, and is very interesting in its way.
BY the time that the professional artists had
arrived the alteration in the features was so
marked that NJ, Meissonier thought it useless
to attempt to paint them, and returned to
Paris. NJ. Bounat and NJ. Bastien-Lepage, on
the contrary, each completed a sketch. NJ.
Proust's drawing gave a very striking idea of
the massive head in shadow, with the strong
curves OF the nose and brow in relief against
the pillow, and will probably remain one OF
the most characteristic portraits OF this re-
markable face in repose.

A singular Toreboding of Death.

UVUHUV VUTTITy VTTTT
Miss Mary Payne, who is well known all
through Georgia, when on her road to visit
some friends in Gainesville, on passing the
Mars Hill graveyard, ordered her driver to
stop the team, which he did. Then she de-
mande a promise from him that he would
bring her back and bury her there beside her
sister Jane. For said she, Il will never
come back home alive. 1 am going to die
away from home and want you to bring me
back here for burial" To this declaration
she chung, nor could she be persuaded that as
she was in good health she would nave a
pleasant visit and return home happy. She
would say. No, l am going to die before l
ever see home again" And what makes
this seem almost prophetic is that before
three weeks had rolled by, and while she was
at Gainesville, last Sunday week, she took a
congestive chill and died suddenly, and was
brought back to Mars Hill, as requested, and
there buried beside her dear sister.

Last Nights Performance.

CINCINNATI, JAN. 29.-The Opera Festival
by the College of Music and the Mapleson
company began to-nighF in Music Hall. Be-
fore the doors were opened all the seats were
sold and the standing room all taken. The
audience numbered 6, 900. Changesin the dress
circle and improvement in lighting made the
spectacle within exceedingly brilliant. The
opera was 'Traviata," with Patti as Violetta,
Her reception was enthusiastic, and she was
frequently called before the curtain during
the performance. Signor Caravatti won
great favor in the place of Ciampi Cellaj. 1t
has already been arranged to give two extra
performances next week.

COmpanies-OutloOk for 1888.
New York Letter to Chicago Tribune.
The experience for 1882, which will shortly
be revealed in the annual statements, will
show that the year has been an unusually
disastrous one. 1t began with a perfect
storm of confiagrations, and, although since
Haverhiil in January until Toledo in Deem
Der there was no single fire of great magni-
tude, there was a steady aggregation
of large and small losses sufficient to
keep the loss departments of the in
surance companies busy. Last December
was a 'roaster," and the way in which loss
reports poured in upon the company was as
tonishing even to the veterans. The East
furnished the worst losses in the beginning,
but the West proved its pre-eminence in the
ending of the year. The president of the
Etna is quoted as saying that the rela-
tive merits of the East and West as loss
producers is a toss-up. Yet it is undenia-
BILE that among the leading Hartford, Phila-
del phia and New York companies,
and among the managers of the great
English companies, there is a certain salts
faction with the outlook for 1888, arising
from the fact that it seems as if there is to
be a vast improvement in the rates and q
mighty advance in the sums insured. 1t
has been knowingly said recently that what
the companies need is not so much an in
crease in business as better pay for what
they do. know of companies now engaged
in the experiment of trying to retain their
last years income upon a reduced aggregate
of risks-in other words, trying to lessen their
total liability without lessening their in
come. l am informed by the president of
one of these companies that he has done this
successfully for three months, and believes
that he will carry out his purpose in 1888
successfully. The willingness of the public
to contribute to the continued s~olvency of
the companies by paying advanced rates is
conceded, and companies are encouraged to
take a hopeful view of the prospects
of this year. The organization of local
boards of underwriters, patterned after
the Chicago board, is fastening
the improvement in rates faster
than the companies anticipated. The signs
of better times are multiplying. The whole
secret of success in Misunderstanding is to
charge rates sufficient to pay for the risks,
and it has been demonstrated that the sim
pie advance of 20 per cent. on every policy
makes the difference turn the scale in favor
of profit. The companies acting upon the
minds of their agents, are more nearly unan-
imous in the demand for increased rates than
at any time since the Boston fire, conse-
quently the hopefulness of the companies is
based upon the belief that they will be able
to exact increased rates from their custom

War Against Drunkenness In Copenhagen.

Pail Mall Gazette.
The Danes are conducting a vigorous war
against drunkenness in their capital, Copen-
hagen. The number of public houses is to
be reduced from 1850 to 800. No SLOWLY
dressed girl is to be allowed to stand behind
a drinking bar to fascinate youth of the
other sex. Landlords are forbidden to serve
out drink to any person under eighteen
years of age, male or female, or to any one
already under the influence of drink. A
drunken person is to be conveyed to his or
her dwelling In a covered carriage, at the ex-
pense of the landlord in whose house he took
the last glass.

This week will be doubly rich in musical
delights in that another world-famous song
stress, Madame Christine Nilsson, will be
here, supported by a gifted company.
Nilsson is, as a vocalist and as an actress, the
only enc who comes so near Patti as to be a
rival. With her will come Signor Del
Puente, who has a most delicious baritone
voice, and a method of the perfect kind. 1t
was Signor Del Puente whose beautiful
singing and naive acting saved the magic
Flute performance last year from becoming
a total fiasco. Miss Hope Glenn, the new
American contralto. will be heard with the
utmost curiosity, as she is said to be the
lineal heiress to the place of Miss Anna
Louise Cary in the hearts OF the music-loving
people of America.

When a government bond is quoted same

When a ring of eighteen-karat gold

clerkship in the treasury, and revealed

continuance. The tall, slender, viva

son of Senator for betraying her, and
when refused longer position, threat
