PERSIAN THEATRICALs.

It is fortunate that theater-goers at
home do not take to heart the tragedies
that are placed upon the English stage
so much as the Persians, who, according
to writer, not only shed tears as the
actors narrate the death of the Prophet,
the martyrdom of Ally, and other Incl
dents in the history Of Mohammedan-
Ism, but howl piteously as they leave
the theater, pull each others hair, and
run knives into themselves with des-
pair. These representations are styled
tearzies, " and they take place during
the religious festival of the Moharrum,
being got up by the wealthy people with
the double object of propitiating the
Deity and making display of their rich
tapestries and jewels on the stage.
The representations are held either in
the court yards of their houses, or upon
the public squares, the personages of
Importance viewing them from the win
dows of the houses, while the crowd
gathers round the improvised stage,
"camels at rest" Ushers, armed with
heavy wands, go round to maintain Or
der, and lads with pipes to hire, and
water and cakes to sell, drone out
their stock phrases until the story-teller,
followed by six chorister boys, mounts
the stage. His business is to prepare
the audience for the representation by
telling them stories relative to deaths OF
the Imaums, and, in order to produce a
more powerful effect upon them, he in
terlards his story with frequent groans
and tears, finally throwing down his
turban, tearing open his dress and driv-
ing his nails into bis chest. His des-
pair moves the whole of the audience to
tears, and he then descends from the
stage with a bottle, and, sopping up
their tears with piece of cotton wool,
presses them into it-one of these tears,
in the opinion of the Persians, being
sufficient to save the life of a patient
who has been given up by the doctors.
This prologue over, the actors appear,
and the drama begins, with the result
described above.
These, however, are not the only plays
In the Persian repertory, the two other
kinds being "temachas and "kara-
guez," of which the first named are
farces or comedies, full of illusions more
or less broad, and improvised by the
"Lontys," who are professional dancers
and musicians. These "Lontys" are
often accompanied by dancing girls, and
even by monkeys and bears. and they
CRIME themselves with SCOT ana -four.
The "karaguez " is very much like our
own "Punch and judy" the character
of Punch being taken by Ketchel Peh-
levan, who is invariably represented as
bald, and whose favorite occupation is
to deceive the Mollahs by pretending to
piety. After having depicted to the
Mollahs in very glowing terms the
charms of religious life and the pleas
ures reserved to good Mussulmans in
another world, he begins to sing an
acreontic songs until the poor Mollah,
carried away by enthusiasm, throws
down the Koran and begins to play the
guitar and drink the fine wine of Chiraz.

GUS results. At most of the tables d'hote
In Normandy and Brittany decanters of
cider are supplied gratis; and the thirst =
wayfarer need only visit restaurateur
to procure quart of that liquor for
about 3 half-pence. He may sometimes
chance to have the produce of the first
pressure applied to the apples, and which
the grower calls gros cidre; but he is
more likely to have to content himself
with the second extract, or petit cidre, a
watery, though still not quite innocuous,

LONGEVITY OF MUSICIANS.

The notion is generally received that
musicians are short lived. The early
death Of many famous musicians, such
as Mozart, Schubert, Mendelssohn,
Chopin, Bellini, Bizet and Schuman,
have given rise to a popular idea that
music and long life are opposed. But,
in fact, the preponderance of evidence is
on the other side. Of the earlier musi-
clans Bach, Handel and Haydn were
all long lived. Beethoven was more
than Sc at the time of his death. Cher
bini lived to see his 8Ist birthday.
Many of the greatest living musicians
are old men. Hubert Rie is 70 :;
Franz Lachner and Sir Julius Benedict
are II; Heinrich Herr is IS; Sir Michael
Costa, Ignatz Lachner and Tichatschek
are IA; Erthel, and Haupt, the famous
organist, are II; Ferdinand Hitler, Liszt,
Kucken, Taubert and Ambrosia Thomas
are 70; Flotow is 60; Wagner is 6S ;
Henselt and Verdi are e7; Robert
Franz, Stephen Heller and Volckmann
are 66; Gade and Sivori are 81; Gou-
nod, Gumbert, K1llak and Litolft are
So; Abt, Leonard and Clara Schu-
mann are 60. The fact that by far the
greater number of distinguished living
musicians are men of so years and over
is enough to show that the idea of mu-
slcians being short lived is a mistaken
one.-Berlia Music Welt

+ MdPinc Palace.

About six weeks ago the bosom of the
great Father of Waters received another
adopted child, and a lovelier or more
graceful member of its great and growing
family is not to be named. The launch
was perfect one, and as the 'St. Paul"-
as the new steamer will be called-darted
along the ways like bird to her nest, a
shout went up from the assembled hundreds,
and the beautiful craft bore herself
proudly and grandly in her new element, as
though it had always been home to her
and as though she was at once about to
challenge comparisons with her older
sisters.
The st. Paul sits in the water lightly,
alrily, and her exquisite model makes her
the gem for speed and movement. She is
slender and fair proportioned, like some
blue blooded beauty, and her exquisite
lines and curves make her symmetry and
elegance to be noted by the most obtuse in
such matters. Bearing herself so jadntily,
there is nothing lacking in outside or in
tericr adornment or decoration to COM
plete her as the prospective queen of the
feet" and her coloring will be tasteful,
the carpeting, upholstering and fitting up
generally, making her what is designated
at the head Of this article-a veritable
marine palace,
The building of the 'ESt. Paul" was be-
gun as early as the spring weather would
permit, and her modelling and construc-
tion were pushed rapidly forward under
the supervision of tie able master me-
chanic of the st. Louis & St. Paul
Packet Co., R. FL. Medill, who has con-
structed large number of the most IA
nous and perfect steamboats, now plying
on The river. The idea of her building was
a compulsory one-the tremendous in
crease of the passenger traffic during the
summer to the northwest, the lake regions.

ties of this already well equipped fleet.

and the poverty Of the South. Suppose
VIC look into Just one OF the causes. The
import taxes paid by our manufacturers OF
tobacco for export have been higher since
1866, and were so for years. we think, than
they arc now. Now don't forget that all
the lcorice, sugar. syrup. and hayoring
they use (and on which an import duty has
been Maid by them Is exported out OF the
United States, having been used on ,he TO-
bacco so exported, and that the Government
does not allow them any draw back on the
same. We venture the opinion that under
the intcrnal-Tevenuc laws since 1866 the
firms named lin Petersburel have paid to
the United States not less than $50, 900 per
wear for the privilege given them by the
United States 10 put up tobacco to be sold
10 people outside of the United States. As
since 1866 TO date Is seventeen years, this
will make $4,000 that the Government
has wrung from such manufacturers for
the privilege OF putting up goods to be
sold in markets open TO the 'chole lcor'd "a
competitors. Now, is not such q tax a
ridiculous way of building up home manu-
features? Mark YOU again, not one cent
OF the parties profits came out OF the
pockets Of any OF the people Of the United

II TO that sum OF $4,000 in Petersburg
be added the millions paid out in the same
way in Richmond. Lynchburg, Danvillc.
