CINCINNATI MUSIC FESTIVAL.
New Evidence of the Power of the Jumbo
Advertising System.

Advertising System.
The much-advertised Cincinnati Music
Festival began on Monday evening last, with
the opera of "Traviata," with Patti in the role
OF Violetta. An immense crowd was in attend
ance. On Tuesday evening, "L'Africaine
was given, with Mile. Furch Madere as
Selika. AT the matinee on Wednesday "Son-
nambula" was given, with Nine. Albani as
Amina, and in the evening, William Tell,"
with Mime. Dolti as Mathilde. On Thursday,
Friday and Saturday, "Semramide," Don
Giovanni" "The Flying Dutchman," and
''Lohengrin." A telegram to the New York
papers says: The absurdity of calling these
performances a ''festival' is commented on.
No new works are to be given, while several
old ones are to be presented, with casts which
would not be tolerated in New York. ''Tra-
viata, with Nicolina, Caravati, and Ciampi-
Cellaj, indeed. sounds like bur-
lesque advertisement. The perform
ance as whole was very poor,
owing to the wretched ensemble 1t will
not take Cincinnaiians long to find out that
their ''operatic festival is an operatic hum
bug. The innocent naivete of the assertion
that "Signor Arditi is authority for the state
ment that the orchestra is the largest and fin
est that ever played for an OPERA" is delicious.
If the Cincinnati festival should prove sue
cess, il will afford fresh evidence of the
power Of the Jumbo system of advertising and
the gullibility of the Western public by the
mere name of festival"

Legend Linked with Cotton.

With cotton a strange legend is linked in
Brazil. The first man was a demigod. He
had a son of whom he wanted to get rid; so
he formed an armadillo, and buried il in the
ground all but its tail. Then he sent his son
to fetch it. No sooner had the youth seized
the armadillo by the tail than it plunged into
the bowels of the earth, dragging him after it.
On emerging from the lower world, the young
man told his father that there existed down
below men and women who might cultivate
the soil, if they were brought to the surface.
The demigod created the cotton tree, and
formed out of il cord, with which he hauled
up me o. the 'nlatitantsof the subterranean
region. The first specimens Of the race
We small and ugly; but they improved as the
extracting process went on. Unfoi tunat ly
the cotton rope broke before the best types
were brought up-a fact which accounts, say
the Brazilians, for the rarity of humln beauty
upon earth. To find it in its perfection one
must go down below.

Poisoned by Colored Stockings.

NEW YORK, February IA suit for $40, 600
damages is about to be begun by J. F. Riday,
of this city, against one of the leading dry
goods houses here. Mr.. Riday alleges he
was poisoned by wearing a pair of stockings
which he bought of the firm in question for
ST.. The stockings were of black wooden
material, striped with blue, yellow and brown.
Mr.. Riday says he wore them but six hours
when both feet began to swell directly over
the striped parts. He was attended by DIR.
harrington, of the Astor house, who pro-
nounced the symptoms blood poisoning. This
was last July. His feet swelled and he was
laid up for five weeks. He says he has not
yet entirely recovered.

Making Gas from Naphtha,

From the New York Sun, January 2S.
Some of the gas consumers of Astoria have
adopted gas made from naphtha by pro-
cess patented by Magnus Gross. The pas is
now supplied to the public lDy the Excelsior
Gaslight company. II is made by admitting
steady flow of naphtha into six retorts kept by
a heat of 100 degrees to 1900 degrees
Fahrenheit. The naphtha flows in at the top
Of each retort, to which, at right angles to and
beneath it, stream of superheated steam at
LOCO degrees to LOO degrees is admitted.
This drives vaPorized naphtha to the other
end of the retort, whence it is passed in tubes
through cold water. This frees il of moisture
and it then goes through meter into the re-
ceiver. Twenty thousand feet of naphtha gas
are now, it is said, burned daily in Astoria
at cost of a cost of ST. 50 per 1000 feet to
large consumers and ST. IS to those who use
only one or two lights. The Excelsior COM
Pany say that they can afford TO supply it in
large quantities at ST. per 1000 cubic feet, and
they have entered into contract to light a
portion OF Philadelphia at that rate.

Uncle and Niece Marry

From the San Francisco Call.
The examination of Giuseppe Perazzo on
the charge of unlawfully marrying his niece
was resumed yesterday before Police Judge
Webb. The evidence taken in the case went
to show that Perazzo met his niece in italy.
and being asked by her father if he would
take her for his wife, she being asked il she
would take him for her husband, and both re-
plying afirmatively, they entered into the civH
marriage contract. Perazzo then took off his
ring and placed it on the girls finger. after
which the parents and friends shook
hands and sat down to the family dinner.
Arriving in this city his wife desired their
union to be sanctioned by the clergy, and a
dispenSation from the Pope to that effect was
procured and they were married by priest.
In deciding the case Judge Webb stated that
if a marriage between uncle and niece was
recognized as valid in Italy he was disposed
to hold the defendant not guilty, land dismissed

but has not given it up altogether. When he

SICK OF HIS TASK.

He Appears Disguised Francis
Train Comes to His Relief with
Good Advice.

Special Correspondence of the Evening Light.
New YORK, February IL went to Gabe
Cox's hotel to see Mr.. Walcott eat his 10th
quail few days ago. When he appeared it
was evident to everybody that something allied
him. His hair was combed as smoothly and
parted as nicely. as usual. His boots were
polished to their wonted luster, and his cloth
ing was neat and we'll ordered. But his face
was flushed, and he walked with his eye fixed
vacantly on nothing. His gait was of not
more than natural steadiness, and he found
difficulty in lifting his feet over each other
without interference, and he turned him
self at an acute angle and sat down
in the chair before the quails with more
emphasis than circumstances warranted
In fact, it was plain, as a vulgar person re-
marked, that the quail eaten "had shell on"
Mr.. Walcott gazed at the birds before him
with lacklustre eye for a moment and then
lifted one of them from the platter to his plate
by means of fork and gazed upon it again as
if it were
HIS EVIL ANGEL.
Then he took it up in his fingers and proceeded
to devour it with an expression of disgust
upon his features. The score of observers
watched him critically, and finally tall man
with fierce mustache shouted, $500 to
$50 that he don't finish the 90 quails
in 20 days." There were no takers and Mr.
to of the birds. He picked the bones clean
and cast them into small dish at his side,
but he did not seem to relish the meat
However, he proceeded conscientiously to
devour the second bird, and at the end Of
IoH minutes from the time of
commencing, he had finished both quailS,
having taken "a longer time to accomplish the
task than on any previous day.
HE ATE NOTHING ELSE
with the quails, but drank small glass of
pepsin. AS soon as he had finished, Mr.
Walcott rose unsteadily from his chair and
disappeared in company with his colored ser
want. Then numerous bets were offered that
he would be unable to finish the 90 quails
within the allotted time. 1t seemed to be an
universal belief that Mr.. Walcott would
give out before finishing the 90
qaails. That philosopher philantropist
and poe, Mr.. George Francis Train, has be-
yesterday Mr.. Walcott received two postal
cards, marked personal"

The second informs him that
The man will perish in the strife
Who bets against life's hours of life.
If you continue on the trail
You'll never eat another quail"

The Chicago Tribune, In answer to
querhlous Southern newspapers, has been
1t the trouble OF collecting the statistics
of lynchings and executions in the South
in the past two years. In 1882 out Of
seventy-nine persons hanged ffty-six were
negroes; out of fifty-three lynched forty
eight were negroes. Thus far in 1888,
sixty-four have been hanged. Of whom
forty-seven were negroes; sixty-four have
been lynched, of whom forty-six we're ne
groes. A much larger number. proba-
bly,, have been killed by whites. where
no notice has been taken of the event. It is
stated that in all these 260 cases the
charge was that Of numbering whites. but
in III cases there was no legal evidence.
and in many no trial. The Chicago Til
bune challenges its Southern contempt
raries to name a case in those two years.
or in the past eighteen years. where .
white man has been lynched, or hanged,
or in any way troubled. for numbering a
negro. It is notorious that many ne
groes are killed by whites. and these fig
ures prove that the Southern people are
not in the habit Of furnishing such crimes.
