As They DO in Russia.

In the reign of the Gar Nicholas, at
soiree given at the Winter Palace at
st. Petersburg, the conversation turned
upon luxuriant boards, when the Gov
ernor of distant province remarked
that he had frequently noticed veneer
able Jew in the chief town of his gov
ernment who was possessed of most
luxuriant one. "How much / sho,,ll
like to see him, smilingly replied one
of the ladies. "Your Highness' lease
wishes are commands" replied the Gov
ernor, and forthwith he dispatched IL
courier with orders to forward the Jew
without delay. The local authoritiss,
despite the Jews protestations OF inno-
eence, forwarded him post-baste. The
police. when they found that such ex-
petition had been used to forward the
luckless Jew, concluded that he was
criminal of the deepest dye, and, caus-
ing his hair and beard to be clipped
close, confined him in the deepest dun
geon. Weeks passed, and the lady's
khim and the Governors order had
both been forgotten. No questions
were asked about the Hebrew, VITO
would probably have remained in prison
until death had not some of his friends,
wealthy traders, stirred themselves to
learn the cause of his detention. When
they succeeded in directing official a1-
tention to his case, it came out, to the
infinite amusement of the Rus i IN court
that his beautiful beard, the cause OF
his martvrdoln, had long since ceased to
exist, and with it the cause of his So
journ at ST. Petersburg. He was there
fore set at liberty, and solemnly warn,
"never to do it again. London Daily

For Iris ran star-rOute contract

up her loins and twisted her back hair
in Grecian knot, preparatory t. goin::
ort aud losing that letter somewneie

"There's a vast deal OF difference
between your hair and your hat, Iris,
said Apollo, watching the messenger
take her long hair from the back OF q
chair.
"Hoi sould hay ho," replied Iris,
speaking Greek, because her rosy mouth
was full of hair-pins, meaning, Il

"What is the difference?" askel
golden Aphrodite, who was trying to
tie her sandal with button-hook.
"Why, because, said the god Of the
silver bow, zone is her hat and the
other is hirsute"
But" protested Aphrodite, "her hat

"You are as particular as district

often taunted her with it when thev
quarreled), "and as [ am not q ,nan

little spitefully, for she did not ike to

all the heavens resounded with ilu-

The Martyrs of Opera.

Montgomery Schuyler in Harpers for November
"From psalm of Asaph," remarked the
late Mr.. Carlyle. in one of his most bilious
seasons of reflection, "to a seat at the Lon
don opera in the Haymarket, what road
have men traveledp' The distempered sage
had himself, upon one occasion, been in
duced to take a seat in the London opera,
which he abandoned dnring the ballet, upon
the ground, as he subsequently explained,
that he ''hadn't the heart to stay and watch
a woman with an immortal soul making a
Manx penny of herself" The outcome of
all the cost and of the various art that had
been layished upon the performance he de-
clared to be San hours amusement, not
amusing either, but wearisome and dreary,
to high-dizened, select populace of male
and female persons, who seemed to me not
much worth amusing"
These are extremely bilious remarks; but
it must be owned that to many persons the
Italian opera in its present estate makes no
more appeal as a serious form of art than it
did to Carlyle or to Wagner. The high-diz-
ened. select populace is very apt to wear a
bored aspect except when Patti or a Nils
son or Schalchi or Companini breaks in
for moments upon its apathy at the crisis of
an aria. The interest in opera Is at least
three parts social to one part musical. To re-
cur to our Jeremaid: "Euterpe and Melpom-
meme, sent for regardless Of expense, were

but the vehicles Of . kind of service which
judged to be Paphian rather" The more,
or possibly the less, wonderful the heroic
and unexampled sacrifices which are laid up
on the operate shrine! An impressario was
long ago defined as person who paid all his
money for the pleasure Of being blackguard-
ed by everybody and the definition remains
so lar true that the successful managers OF
Italian opera who have escaped its perils
with their lives and fortunes are scattered
columns in a waste of ruins. And yet the
seed of the martyrs of Italian opera contin
ues to fructify. From the lean and primi-
tive opera seasons which Richard Grant
White not long ago commemorated in very
interesting series of magazine papers until
now the cause has never lacked forlorn
hope. A whole procession of Curtiuses,
each girded with an orchestra and chorus,
and brandishing his poetieal prospectus in
his good right hand, have followed each 9th
er into the gulf of insolvency, which obsti-
nately declines to close over them. Mana
gers who have amassed completeness in the
more prosaic departments of their calling do
not consider their careers rounded until they
have embraced the opportunity to beggar
themselves in behalf of the lyric drama.
Nor is 1t only these altruistic servants OF
society who burn the lamp of sacrifice
before this modern shrine In what other
cause of charity or of culture would it be
possible SO to enlist the men of business who
have for years carried the New York Acade-
envy of music and cheerfully threw what,
from q commercial point of view, was the
good money of assessment after the bad Of
hopeless investment? In what other cause
would it have been found so brief and easy
a matter to induce 70 men of business to
subscribe $1,000 each, in order to raise the
$1,400,000 which the Metropolitan opera
house was estimated to cost? Here there
was not only the certainty of no pecuniary
return, but the additional prospect to the
stockholders of paying their admission into
their own building like the undistinguished
throng. One of them has computed that it
will cost him 500 to lend his box for an even
ing. When we compare this alacrity with
the struggles of the Metropolitan museum of
ant, or with the languishing condition of the
project for the erection of a cathedral by the
richest Protestant denomination, it shows
thGt whatever may be the nature Of the hold
Of Italian opera upon the "high-dizened,
select populace," it is at least very power
full.

The Virginia Campaign.
HERNpoN, Va. NoY. Sd. 1883

HERNDoN, Va, Nov. Sd, 1883.
Mr.. EDIToR:-I notice in your issue Of
the list inst, in an article on the coming
elections, you close in words as follows.
viz:
"The Virginia contest is purely personal one. 1t
is struggle on the part of Malone to retain his su
premacy, and it is waged with great bitterness
Mahone's defeat at this time would probably prove
his political extinction There is very little merit
in the contest"
Now l wish to say, with all due regard to
your good judgment in political matters gen
orally, that when you say that the contest in
this State is purely a personal one you GER
tainly show a lack of judgment or of knowl-
edge in relation to politics in this State. If
ever State contest was fought for principle
the contest in Virginia is being SO fought, as
far as the coalition party is concerned. Say
ing nothing about the debt question, which
the Democrats at Lynchburg accepted as
settled, the coalition party within the last
three years doubled the free schools, abol-
ished the capltation tax as prerequisite to
voting, abolished the whipping post, made
the penitentiarya paying institution, and
reduced the taxes 20 per cent. Every de-
partment of the State government is in bet
ter condition now than when they came into
power. Nine-tenths of the Republicans of
the State are in full sympathy with and
working hard for the triumph of these prin-
ciples. All the advance made by the colored
people of the State has come through this
coalition, and they are almost to a man sup
porting that party.
Now ! ask you, why are there no princl-
pies involved? acknowledge that ss far as
the bourbon party is concerned it is per-
sonal fight against the man who has led the
hosts on to their destruction. In conclusion
wish to say that am staunch Republi-
can; born, and lived in Maine till within a
few years. expect to see Virginia join the
list of Republican States next year, should
the coalition triumph in this fight, not 9TH

soon to be appointed. The candidates are
Aedical-Puryeyor Baxter, Surgeons Robert
Murray, Charles Sutherland and j. S. Bill
lings. As TO their claims Surgeons Muir
ray and Sutherland are the ranking med
ical officers, with the rank of colonel.
Surgeon Murray has been in service since

Billings ranks almost at the bottom of the
list of majors, but for attachments is the
best known man of the medical staff, having
been the organizer of the Army Medical
Museum and associate editor of the medical
and surgical history of the war of the re-

An Oberlln (Ohio) druggist has sued a
Congregational minister for libel, fixing
damages at $4,000 He asserts that he sells
liquor only for mechanical and medicinal
purposes, but the defendant, in the midst of
an excitement on the temperance question,
used in sermon the following language
concerning him, which, by the way, turns
out to have been stolen from an old lecture
by Mr. Beecher: 1.-THE CHASTITY deeds of the
past shall stretch out their skinny hands and
push thee. Thou shalt not die unattended
Despair shall seize thee, agony shall tender
to thy parched lips her fiery cup, remorse
shall feel for thy heart and rend it open.
Good men shall breathe freer at thy death,
and utter thanksgiving when thou art gone
Men shall place thy gravestone as monu-
ment and testimony that a plague is
stayed, and as borne on the blast thy guilty
spirit whistles towards the gates of hell, the
hideous shrieks of those whom thou hast
destroyed shall pierce thee, helps first well
come"
