TOGETHER.

The winter wind is wailing, sad and low,
Across the lake and through the rustling
sedge;
The splendor of the golden after-glow
CLEANS through the blackness of the great
yew hedge;
And this read on earth and in the sky:
I'VE ought to be together, you and II
Rapt through its rosy changes into dark,
Fades all the west; and through the shad-
owy trees,
And in the silent uplands of the park,
- Creeps the soft signing of the rising breeze;
IL does but echo to my weary sigh:
I'VE ought to be together, you and l."
My hand is lonely for your clasping, dear,
My ear is tired, waiting for your call;
want your strength to help, your laugh to
cheer;
Heart, soul and senses need you, one and
all.
I droop without your full, frank sympathy
We ought to be together, you and L.
We want each other So to comprehend
The dream, the hope, things planned or
seen, or wrought;
Companion, comforter, and guide and friend,
AS much as love asks love, does thought
need thought
Life is so short, so fast the lone hours fly
We ought to be together you and 1.

Bacteria in Bricks.

A new danger, it is said, has been
discovered in sanitary organization.
The ubiquitus bacterium, which proves
to be the germ of SO many obscure dis
eases, has been found by M. Parize, a
French saYant, to take up its abode in
brick walls. Noticing some peculiar
mark on the outside of the WALL he
scraped little off and placed thunder
magnifying power of three hundred
the result of which was to show myri-
ads of organisms moving about with
extraordinary activity. 1t was the
more singular that this red dust had
been covered with layer of lime q
quarter of an inch thick. Under the
impression that the bacteria might have
been superficial deposit, M. Parize
then drilled o hole into the very center
of the brick, and to his great surprise
discovered the powdered material was
full of the same living organisms,
although not in such large quantities
as in the external layer To make sure
that this was not an exceptional brick,
he carried on his experiments at various
places in the walls and always with the
same result; that the bricks were more
or less impregnated with bacteria,
which appear to live equally as well in
brick wall as in saucer of some fer.
menting substance.-N Y Observer.

PITTsBURGH, PA, Jan. 22.-The follow

Wheeling, w. Va ARTICLES of impeach.
ment have been drawn up against judge
Guthrie, of the Kanawha Judicial Circuit.
They are founded upon alleged immortality
of an objectionable character, and the en-
ployment of official authority for the pur-
pose of furthering political ends. The
proofs are said to be so convincing that
there can be no doubt of the Judges guilt.
Tho Republicans are said to be pushing the
charges. The Democrats are having moth

afraid that anything they might do would
be regarded as part and parcel of politi-
cal scheme, as Judge Guthrie was elected as

Franklin, Delaware County, with several
Thousand dollars. The disclosures of
Bakers dishonesty unsettled the mind of
his n-in-law, Frank Bassett, who brooded
over the affair until last Friday, when he
hung himself. Mrs. Bassett had been out

Musical Notes.

The parlors of DIR. Pope's residence on
Fourteenth street were the scene of very
delightful musicale last evening The warm
interest felt by Mrs. Pope in music per Sc
and her desire to create a similar interest in
the young people with whom she delights to
surround herself makes her musical re-
unions the very pleasantest in the city.
Mr.. 8. g. Elliott, Miss Symonds and Miss
Moxon were the pianists of the occasion ;
Mr., Szemeleny, the violinist, and Miss
G0ode, Miss Rodenstein, Miss Gibbs Mr..
Keen and Mr.. Warren Young, the vocalists.
1t is understood that Mr.. Babcock, tho

again out and about his musical work. He
will appear in Washington later in the sea.
son.
A novel concert, to be given at an early
date, under the auspices of Mrs. Joseph L.
Powell and other ladies, will consist entirely
of the works of Washington composers, sung
by Washington vocalists.
The orchestra score to be used in the com-
ing performance of "Paul and Virginia" il
the work of Mr.. John Sousa, and at the re-
hearsal yesterday was highly compli'
mented.
A feature of the paul and Virginia" per
formanoe will be the Bamboula or Cocoa

The Evening critic., 1885-01-22
The cast is as follows;


Much interest is felt among musicians in
the production in the near future of this
beautiful work in aid of the Georgetown
Amateur Orchestra. This organization is
worthy of all the encouragement and aid
that the public can give it, inasmuch as all
its entertainments are of a complimentary
nature and are largely attended and most
enjoyable.
The work of organizing and getting un-
der way the above opera Is in the hands of
committee of ladies and gentlemen of
prominence in the West End, whose names
are guarantee Of the success of the under
taking.
1t is expected that the performance will
occur some time early in March at AL
baugh's Opera-House. The orchestra, of
forty.eight pieces, is already in active re-
heaIsal, the original orchestra score ("Sul-
livan's Own') having been secured from
Doyle Cartes agents in Boston.
The costuming will be done by Esves OF
New York, ana will consist of new and
elegant dresses and the same trappings used
by the Doyle Carte Company at the
Standard Theatre, New York.
With Mrs McCartee in the title role, and
cast and chorus carefully selected from
among the best known vocalists Of
Washington and Georgetown, elaborate
and entirely new scenery and stage
sittings, it is the intention of the
management that the production, both in
musical and spectacular way, shall faI
excel anything Of the kind ever attempted
in this citv
The Evening critic., 1885-01-22

Like Alexander, signing for new worlds
to conquer, society is at all times on the
Qui rire for new sensation, and where it
fails to find one ready to its hand, rises to
the demand and undertakes to create. The
approaching production, by certain Of its
members, of Victor Masses grand opera,
Paul and Virginia." is the latest, and
forms the basis of daily aud hourly drawing
room discussion. The amount of nerve, on
the part of thoroughly new set of anna
teurs, displayed in the selection of such a
work is in itself matter enough but when
10 this is added tho fact that young girl,
prominent in society, is to assume the role
Of Paul, the social interest is greatly in-
creased.
The undertaking originated with several
social luminarios as management, but, as
Is invariably the case, soon settled to q
level and found the few persons who were
10 do all the work and assume all the re-
sponsibility. One of tho most prominent
among these is Miss Redfern, to whose un-
firing energy, illimitable perseverance and
clear Judgment much of whatever success
is achieved will be due.
The chorus and cast have been for some
weeks past under the direction of Professor
Z. @. Bernays, and in view of the difficult
opera chosen and of the material, from
musical standpoint, with which he had to
work, his success so far has been remark
able. If rehearsal may be taken as an
indication, that of yesterday foreshadows
success. The stage direction is In the hands
of Mr.. s. w. Keen, who has been untiring
in his efforts to bring both cast and chorus
to that unison Of action and ease of move-
ment upon the stage which is so necessary
to smooth performance. At the first stage
rehearsal yesterday it looked, to an out
slider, like evolving order out Of chaos.
The stage settings, etc, now being pre-.
pared by Messrs. Loritz, Scherwood and
Slemmer of the opera-house, are understood
to be of an unusually elaborate character,
and the opera, it is expected, will prove to
be one of the society events Of the season.
The sale of seats has already been very
large, and the audience bids fair to be in
point Of numbers and social prominence
one of the most brilliant Of the year.
The President and several of the Cabinet,
President Garrett, of the B. & o. Railroad;
Minister West and family, Mr.. John Nc
Lean, of Cincinnati; Mrs. Letter and parties
from New York and Baltimore have al
ready secured eight of the twelve boxes
while members of Congress and the Diplo,
matte Corps, officers of the Army and Navy
and society at large will fill the body of the
hOuse.

really one of the most decided merit, the
