Unfortunately, for the success of their
schemes, prohibitionists are not fools.
They soon realized that an organized

To this proposition each and every Re-

assails prohibitions for dragging that

were alarmed at the idea, and denounced
it az unwise and unpolitic. They said
substantially, The proper thing to do is

Won certainly could not defeat combin-
ed opposition. We complied with their
urgent requests and decided to make our

that, although many Democrats voted at
the Republican primaries for anti pro-
bibitiopiete, the friends of the amend
ment elected three sourths of the dele
gates to the State convention. They then
took up the gauge of battle that had been

New York Musical Courier.

AN1A "a
We give our readers to day a good
likeness OF DR.. Louis Mas. the emf.
nent musician, pianist, teacher, COM
poser, conductor, and highly esteemed
Boston correspondent for the Musical
Courier. DR.. Mas was born at Wies,
baden, near the Rhine, on June q,
1852. He received his first music les.
son from his father, an eminent
teacher Of the pianoforte, at the early
age OF four years When Louis was
still a child, the family moved to Lon>
don, England, where the bright and
intelligent boy underwent a thorough
course OF musical and general training
With his fifteenth year he entered the
Conservatory at Leipsic, where he
studied under Reinecke, Moscheles,
H%auptmAnn and Richter. Here his
development was remarkable, and he
soon became distinguished BY his per.
torrance at the "Gewandhaus" of
Beethoyen's emperor" concerto aud
by the production of an overture,
highly spoken of, which is his first
orchestral composition.
DR.. Mas studied at Leipsio for
four years, during which time he was
also heard at the Grand Ducal con
certs at Weimar. 1t was here that he
met Liszt, who took a sincere interest
in the rising young artist and gave
him the benefit Of his valuable in.
struction during the summer months
Of the three years following Mr.. Maas's
leaving the Leipsic Conservatory.
During the winter seasons of these
three years he concertized in all the
larger cities Of Germany, and attained
high success before such critical audi.
ences as those at Berlin, Leipsic, ORES.
den, Munich, Stuttgart, etc. In 1875,
that is, ct the early age Of twenty
three years, he was called 70 a profes
torship at the Leipsic Conservatory
where he taught pianoforte playing for
five years, interrupted only by several
extensive concert tours. The number
OF his pupils at Leipsic is over three
hundred, among whom there are a
great many Americans from all parts
Of the States. 1t is ewing TO this large
acquaintance beforehand with the
young artist in this country that DR.,
Mas was received so enthusiesticall,
at his very arrival. He made Boston
the home Of art, his own home, and il
the first year Of his stay in this coun,
try, efficiently held the position al
conductor OF the Boston Philharmonic
Society, where he also appeared as
solo pianist playing his own piauofort,
concerto. Among his larger compost
t~ionsare several overtures, two sympho
MES, q suite, a triumphal march, etc.
tor orchestra, also a string quartz
dedicated to List, who spoke yer,
highly about it; songs, violin pieces
three great sonatas and over thirt,
miscellaneous works for the piano
forte, among which his concerto stand
foremost.

Reasons for PrOnOuneing the

The Academy publishes a searching
criticism by DIR. Neubauer on the

comes TO the conclusion that these

soma ignorant Of the results o. modern
criticism. DR.. Neubauer ends this
text full Of classical idioms and Of
grammatical blundors. Again, the

A Canal Through Palestine.

AT a meeting Of the Lon don Bal
loon Society Captain Molesworth, r
N delivered a lecture upon the sub
ject of the proposed Jordan Canal
The idea was, he said, to cut the canal
twenty-five miles from Acre to the
valley of the Jordan. 1t would be
about thirty three feet deep. SO as to
accommodate the largest ship. II
would, moreover, DO about 200 feet
vide, which would be sufficient to
allow vessels to pass each other.
There would be no necessity for locks.
because when the water was let in the
water Of the Dead Sea and the Medi
terranoan would practically flow on
the same level TO the Akaba Gulf Of
the Red Sea. The cutting OF tat
canal seemed to present no greet en-
cheering difficulties. A company
had been got up, and that company
spoke OF the expense as about 99,000,-
900; but If it could be carried out for
100000, 900 the advantage would still
be largely in favor OF the shipowner
some discussion followed, In the
course Of which doubt was expressed
as tothe financial success ofthe scheme,
owing mainly to the fact that il a
ried out 1t would food many miles o
valuable fertile land on either side Of
he river. The general opinion was
in favor Of the canal, aud ultimately
the following resolution was adpted.
That in the opinion of this meeting
the canal which is proposed from The
Mediterranean through the River
Jordan ane the Dead Seal to the Gull
OF Akaba is absolutely necessary for
the growing commerce between tae
Eastern and Western nations Of this
hemisphere" The Uonstantinople
correspondent OF the Standard says
that Admiral Sir Edward ~Inglefeld,
who is now 10 the Turkish capital Ia
represent the interests of the English
syndicate for cutting q channel for a
water way through Palestine, has had
a very favorable reception at the
Palace, for which Musurus Pasha had
paved the way by his warm recon-
mendations Of the scheme. The Sui.
tan, it is said, views with favor thu
project In question, which, by open
ing up a water passage into the Red
Sea, would render Turkey independ.
