Episcopal Convention.

Philadelphia, 19.-In the Episco-
pal convention to-day, after
short discussion, the house went
into committee of the whole on the
report of the joint committee on
prayer book. The proposed amend
ment to the first of the eight versi-
Giles IN section p of the fourth reso-

Stark Comm was: "The people of
the United States" DR.. Huntington,
from the committee, said with re-
gard to the word president" about

Experience of a New Cook.

The story oftbe water which got into
the hold of the ship loaded with rice,
and so swelled the cargo that it burst
the vessel asunder, reminds the editor
of the Kinderhook Rough Notes of the
captain of North river sloop, swho
having hired new cook at Albany, set
him to cooking rice, which he said he
had done hundred times. Telling him
that he would find FIVE pounds in the
locker and cautioning him against cook
ing too much, the Captain went about
his BUSINESS of loading hisG vessel with
pig iron. In half an hour the new cook
rushed out, exelaiming: AZ ~ II
For Heavens sake. Captain, don't
take Oh any more pig iron; we will have
load of billed rice before night Oss I
The Captain rushed into the cabin
where he found all the. pots, kettles;
pals, pans, dishes, and even two wash
tubsI full to oyerfoying = with cooked
ing over the top of the kettle Fand fall,
ing efsapoIr thesstove' and theAt floor.
'What'n the thunder you been doin'? {?
yelled the skipper as he glanced round
How much rice did you put in that
Pot?'
Put the whole of it Cap said the lad,
and I've been doing nothing but bailin'
out rice for the last twenty minutes
Great Moses ! where does all the stuff
come from?

An EX-Tunnel.

Virginia City Chrnnicle
q In Castle district, at point about five
miles north of this city, is tunnel that
may be called an ex tunnel IL is tun-
mel that demonstrates against being a
tunnel. 1t WAS run about four years
ago into the side of 4 steep hill and was
originally about forty feet in length.
When In about fifteen feet the tunnel
cut Into soft, swelling clay, very diff
cult to manage. After timbering and
striving against the queer, spengy mate
rial till il had been penetrated some 25
feet. the miners gave up the fight, as
they found it a losing game.
Being left to its own devices, the tun :
mel proceeded to repair damages. 1t very
plainlsshowed that it resented the whole
business, as its first move was to push
out all the tinbers and dump them down
the bill. 1t did not stop at that, but pro-
jected from the mouth of the tunnel a
pith or stopper of clay the full size of
the excavation. This came out hori
Zontally some eight feet, as though to
look about and see what had become of
the miners, when it broke off and rolled
down the slope. In this way it has been
going on until there are some hundreds
of tons of the clay at the foot of the
hill. f
AtRrst it required only about week
for plug to come out and break of,
then a month, and so on till now the
masses are elected but three or four
times per year, yet the motion eontin-
ues, and to-day the tunnel has the better
of the 6ght by about four feet.

T.
1N Venice yesterday at A O'Clock there
died enc Of the greatmen of this epoch
Richard Wagner. He was musician
of the rare type that includes Palestri-
ns. Bach, Flnck, Handel, Beethoven
and Berlioz. No other name can be
placed in this short list except that of
Richard Wagner. He was an era ma
king man. He was not only original,
but, but brought with him new princi-
pies of art and enlarged the boundaries
of music. He dominated this era of
music, and all other contemporary com-
posers show his influences as clearly as
the English writers of fifty years ago
showed the influence of Byron, or as
influence of Goethe. His life was long
struggle against the established canons
of art, and not until be was an old man
was the victory assured. His early
works, "Tannhauser," 'Looengrin," and
others which are now so eDthusiastical
ly admired, were Missed and laughed
from the stage of gay, critical Paris.
His pamphlet on the "Future Music" set
all Germany by the ears and yet, Wag-
Ber was no revOlutionist. He only did
in his generstion what all the great
tone poets" had done in theirs. He
belonged to the legitimate lineage of gil
ants. He was the child of Back ,Gluck,
Beethoven and Beriioz. All of these,
great in their epoch, had prepared the
path for him. He was IN his youth a
passionate student of the later style of
Beethoven and Glvck, and the works of
Berlioz were familiar to him. His Or
iginality was of the kind that knows all
that precedes it, aud departs from the
past not merely for change, but for a
new conquest. His operas are all
wrought out apon noble, artistic ideas.
He wrote or adapted the librettos fol
himself. and this gave q unity to his
work. The poetry, the drama, the mu'
sic, the tableau-all were integral parts
of one grand conception. During the
past ten years his supremacy has been
