The Musical Bore.

Mr.. Allwind perpetrates flute solo,
and you resolve never again to be
angry with the street urchin for
whistling the latest music hall air. MIR.
Catgut assumes Paganini attitude,
and mercilessly scrapes on the violin.
Then Miss Squeal favors the company
with a song or scena-two chest notes
to six head notes. and all devoid of
quality and sweetness, as is the sound
of saw sharpening. Well there are
amateurs and amateurs, and some are
musicians tLoSgh not professionals;
but l ask is it fair, or reasonable, or
humane, that l should be compelled to
listen hour after hour 10 amateur musi-
clans. who are generally very unmusi
cal, when for very few shillings l can
hear accomplished musiciansP Am l
to be secuted as non-musical because L
prefer singers who can sing. and play
ers who can play? Moreover, you
have not only to listen to the
amateur musical lions, but you are
bound, under the penalty of beng
stigmatized as bear, to admire and
applaud them. The opinions of the
amateur musical lions are almost as
vexations as their performances. Do
you not think that PATHS upper regist-
er is rather metallic? What pity
Nilsson is addicted to florid phrasing!
The sonatas of Beethoven are spoiled
by their padding! The Italian melo-
dists are saccharine, but common
place. Wagner would be delightful if
his motif was not so often involved in
misty mysticism. The old English
ballads are not bad in their way, but
they are so elementary and twangy
And it is an offense to disagree with
the amateur musical lion. You have
endured the music and talk for hours,
and then as you depart there is another
trial of temper. Your hostess in the
honeyest tone of voice briefly expostul-
ates on the marvellous gifts of the musi-
cal lions she has exhibited, and hopes
you have enjoyed the evening,-7tnS-

Why "ThOn?"

The attempt to introduce a neuter
pronoun into the language for the pur-
pose of doing away with the awkward
phrases ..he or she, ''him or her" and
..hers or his" is net meeting with any
marked success. The word "thon"
has been suggested as an escape from
the difficulty; but, after all, is such a
pronoun necessary? Objectionis made
that there is much clumsiness in such
sentence as, Mr.. A. and Mrs. B. hav-
ing agreed to separate, divided their
goods, and each took his or her share
and went his or her way" We concede
the clumsiness of this construction, but
we do not concede the advisability of
overcoming the perplexity by saying,
''Mr. A. and Mrs. B. having agreed to
separate, divided their goods, and each
took thon share and went thon way"
when we may write, ''Mr. A. and Mrs.
b. having agreed to separate, divided
their goods, and went their respective
ways" We are told with much force
that there is great awkwardness in
writing, If any boy or girl will dill
gently pursue the course have mark
ed out for him or her, he or she will
surely reach the goal of his or her am
bition." OF course there is awkward
ness in it, but why should we write it,
If any boy or girl will diligently pur-
sue the course | have marked out for
thon, thon will surely reach the goal of
thon ambition" when the trouble may
be met by writing, If boys and girls
will diligently pursue the course | have
marked out for them, they will surely
reach the goal of their AMBITION or,
..If any boy or girl will diligently pur-
sue the course | have marked out, the
goal of ambition looked forward to by
either will surely be reached"
1t does not seem to have occurred to
those who have so strenuously urged
the new word that the language is all
sufficient for the clear expression of ev-
cry idea. Awkward sentences are null
tiplied for the purpose of showing the
difficulties under which we at present
labor, and as though these sentences
were capable of no other forms than
those in which they are presented. The
following example is a case in point:
fifth reader will take the trouble to
reflect, he or she will agree with the
decision we have reached" but if we
write, ''lf the reader will take the trou-
ment with the decision we have reach
ed;" or, Reflection will convince the
reader that the decision we have reach
ed is correct" the difficulty vanishes.
Why manufacture q new pronoun when
Springfield globe-republic. (Springfield, Ohio) 1884-1887, 1885-02-19

there Is no necessity for repetition of
the personal pronoun complained ofp
II thought cannot be expressed grace
fully in one form, it is not difficult to
tnd another which is not open to SINH
lar objection. No writer is compelled
to write such a sentence as this: when
person has become tired of life, should
he or she be forced to endure itP" The
trouble would seem to lie in the use of
the singular pronoun. Adopt the plu-
raj in such cases and the perplexity
disappears. 1t is true that there are
circumstances in which the singular
number is imperatively demanded, as:
If | discover who threw a stone
through my library window, | will
have him or her punished;' but the sem
tence loses nothing in clearness when
it is written, IF | discover who threw
stone through my library window,
will have the offender punished" We
do not believe there is any emergency
that seems to call for the new pro-
noun, SO loudly demanded, which can
not be met. The whole difficulty lies
in seeing only one method of express
ing a thought.-BOStOn Gazette.

To the Editor of the Globe Republic:


Can you explain why it is that the Spring
field public like to be gulled? A snide opera
or drama, presented by cheap amateurs, with
no other merit than that they play at 'cheap
prices" will draw a crowd, while a really
good entertainment at fair prices of admis-
sion, has good luck il it more than pays ex-
psnses. A "snap" company, made up of
three-dollars-a-week people, and advertised
with few high-colored posters, always finds
harvest In Springfield. Are our people so
lacking in taste and discrimination that they
prefer an entertainment full of stupid business
and painful blunders TO one of artistic acting
and pleasing smoothness? In other words,
do they prefer the "snide" to the Legitimate?
