The Strauss Brothers.
IErnm the Theater. ]

hear that Johann Strauss is about
to embody the musical "reminiscences
of his youth in an opera, the leading
mctivi of which are to be revivals of
dance-tunes composed by him when he
was lad, studying engineering against
his will. His boyhood, as well as that
of his brothers Joseph and Edward,
was spent under the roof that shell
tered his renowned father, whom, how
ever, heseldom saw; for his parents had
separated, and for many years lived
in different stories of the same house,
the Strauss boys having been Judicially
assigned to their mothers care. All
three developed remarkable musical
ability at an early age, and. when still
in round Jackets, were familiar figures
in several musical salons of Vienna
where they constantly played their
fathers compositions, and sometimes
their own. Their musical feats of
course reached old Strauss ears,
much to his qualification; but hemade
no sign until, several months having
elapsed since he first became aware
that they were acquiring celebrity, it
struck him one day as absurd and un-
natural that he should be about the
only musician in the Kaisersstadt who
had never heard any of his own sons
compositions. Forthwith he sent
message to his wife, who occupied
apartments above his own, but two
flights higher, to the effect that he
would esteem it favor if she would
permit his sons to pay him a visit.
His request was granted at once,
and the three boys were ushered into
their fathers presence. But, strange
to say, the "Waltz King" las the Wen
nese had christened Strauss the elder)
had no pianoforte in his rooms. What
was to be done? After some hesita-
ton he decided upon sending another
message upstairs to ask Mamma
Strauss to lend him her piano for an
hour or two. Presently down came
the piano, and the boys began to play
first their fathers music and then
their own. The old mans delight was
unbounded; he embraced them over
and over again, gave them his blessing,
and then sent them back to their
mother, together with the piano and
his compliments and thanks"

for all eyes and all hearts. There were

ribbons. lust alike. There were two
more little girls OF about years,
twins, with blue eyes and sweetly
turned up noses and black straw hats
trimmed with blue, all just allke-eyes,
noses, hats, and ribbons. There must
have been a. mark of some kind TO dis
tinguish those twins from each other,
but | could not see it. Then there
were two little boys of 8 or years In
pretty, new knickerbocker suits and
hobby, round hats about as big as the
buttons worn by the great PanJan-
drum. At one end of the line was the
strong and brown young man OF 70,
six feet in height, and a stout esquire
for his father and mother in the fight
before them. At the other end was
that red bundle in Mrs. SIMPSONS
arms, the baby in its red Moth
er Hubbard gown, and red tur-
ban, with its red protrudlng cheeks,
red lips-and red fire flashing from its
troubled eyes. Mr. Sampson Is good
natured, Woodworking, and calloused
farmer from Turner. He told me he
had sold his farm for $2,2OO-one
hundred acres of land, and a nice set
of buildings for that price!-and was
set on his way to Los Angeles; he did
not know what he might do after his
arrival, but would look around and
buy some land if he could; he had once
visited California and liked the climate
better than that OF Maine; it would
cost about $500 to get his family and
household goods out there; five OF the
children went free, on account of their
youth. "Those two little girls are
twins" said Mr.. Sampson, indicating
them with his finger, "and these two
little boys come SO near it that I'm
agoing to call 'em twins, although
they're year apart. That woman
there, my wife, has had eleven children.
One of them is dead and we've left two
behind. Doesn't look it, does she?
Yes, she rather hated to leave the old
place, but was willing to do what's
best. The neighbors didn't do just
the right thing. They took on too
much" Mrs. Sampson had provided
about three bushels of provisions,
packed in baskets and boxes. Every
body in the car marveled at her fresh,
young face. She did not look more
than 40.

How He Wrote Hymns.

The late DR.. Samuel Wcicott, the
eminent Congregationalist minister, in
his later life wrote many hymns, and
has left on record an account of how
he began to do so. He was Sc years
old, and had never put two rhymes
together, and had taken it for granted
that he was as incompetent to write a
hymn, or even a stanza, as to work a
miracle. However" he says, ''I re-
solved that l would try to write a
hymn Of five stanzas, and then pro-
ceeded to plan it, precisely as would
plan q sermon. said the first stanza
shall be a recognition of God the
Father; the second a recognition Of
Christ, the Redeemer; the third a
prayer to God the Father; the fourth
q, prayer to Christ the Redeemer; the
fifth shall blend the two in one adj
dress. A more perfect recipe for
wooden stanzas it would be difficult
to frame" The result was the hymn
beginning "Fathtr, own Thy voice."
and the author was much surprised
to find he had written what could &C.
tually be sung. Many of his hymns
have become favorites throughout the
country.

The New York Chamber of Commerc,
DISCUSSES the Labor Question.

The rev York Chamber of Commerce
discusses the Labor Question.
New YORK, April 27.-The Chamber
OF Commerce held special this after
noon to take action on the labor quea-
ton IN Its relation to strikes. A large
number OF business men were in attend
ance. Resolutions were presented de-
claring that minor differences between
employers and employees should be set
tied by mutual concessions, without
the intervention of third parties; that
important differences affecting the
pubic interest or convenience ought
to De settled by arbitration; that
questions as to rate of wages, hours
OF labor and the kind of service to be
rendered, are proper subjects of arbi-
tratlon; that the chamber fully recog-
nizes the right of all classes of citizens
to unlteln trade or labor associations,
and to use all moral and legal means
III turtherance of their interests; that
any e1hploye leaving his business and
going on q strike he vacates his place
absolutely; that any man resorting to
violence to prevent another man work
ing, should be visited by the full pen
atty OF the law; and, that every 1850
citation which endeavors, by intimida-
tion, to abridge the liberty of
choice or of action of those
who are not it's members,
deserves the severest censure of
every American citizen. These
resolutions were discussed at
great length, nearly all of those pres
ent making strong speeches in favor of
their adoption. A resolution pre-
sented by Gustav Schwab, calling up
on the citizens of America to support
the guardians of the law in maintain
ing peace and order, was added to the
list of resolutions presented. The en-
tire list of resolutions was then
adopted by the board with much en-
thusiasm

A RAGGED PAIR.

He stood in fierce despair-gaunt, hollow-eyed,
With murder whispering in his tortured ear.
No work. His baby's cry broke down his pride,
His sick wife's pleading brought the horror
They heard his tale, and care,essly they threw
golden com as If they thought the sting,
That drove his soul Crimes hated portals
through
Would weaken at the moneys golden ring.
His thin face settled in hateful frown;
The sneering charity unheeded lay;
They who had idly crushed his manhood down,
VIII wonder at his dark revenge, some day.
A man with coat as ragged as his own
Held out a hand and spoke brave words OF
cheer,
And, lol The dark. stern face has gentler
grown,
And in the hollow eye there shines tear.
Forgotten the hideous thoughts that filled
HIS soul, the way seemed brighter than be-
fore,
A newer courage all his life has thrilled,
And thrown CLEAN of sunshine through
Hopes door.
He gives the most who bravely lends a hand
To help his brother in the hour OF need
God keeps the record-He can understand,
And of our slightest service will take heed.
Lend a Hand.

The Western Shooting Element in New
YOrk's Street Car Strike.
New YORK, April 3O.-Among the
new hands employed by the Third
Avenue Railroad Company, yesterday,
were some from the South and West,
who had come on, hoping for chance
to use their revolvers. In speaking of
these accessions President Lyon said:
1--WE have got some cowboys now, and
they have come to stay. One of them
went across the street, this morning,
to get his breakfast, and when |
heard of it called him in and warned
him that he might get into row if he
did not eat with the rest of the
men in tie stables. That's what I'm
looking for, he said. IF they come
any of their funny business on me,
they'll think Holland has got back
from Texas again. We have sent out
West for more of these men, and when

want. The pickets want to get hold
of just about one of these cowboys,
and then leave the business"

CATHOLIC KNIGHTS.
New York Church Dignitarfes Interviewed
on the Subject.


NEW YORK, April 3O.-The action
of Cardinal Taschereau, of Canada, in
issuing g. mandement forbidding Gath
olics from joining the Knights OF
Labor is attracting great attention IN
labor circles. Archbishop Corrigan,
last evening, referred reporter to
Mgr. Quinn. In response to an in
quiry, Mgr. Quinn said that the sub
ject of the propriety of Catholics be-
coming Knights of Labor had been
discussed by the officers of the church
in New York, but no decision had been
reached. We have been watching the
Knights of Labor, and shall continue
to do so. Up to the present time
they do not seem to differ much
from great many other societies
that are not exactly forbidden by the
church. 1t is true that there have
been disturbances and possible VIOLA
tlons of the law by Knights of Labor,
but that is something that the church
cannot regulate or be held responsible
for. The society has not been men,
toned by name, as the Free Masons
and others have been, in the list of
forbidden societies by the church, and
ls not therefore on the same footing.
We shall observe the conduct of the
Knights of Labor and if we see that
they are advocating violations of the
law and rules of the church,
we can issue warnings to our
people to leave the organiza-
ton. It is the duty of che bishops
and officers OF the church to keep q
careful watch at all times to see that
the doctrines and regulations OF the
church are not disobeyed. Atpresent,
therefore, with relation to any proba-
BILE action by the church against the
Knights of Labor, the matter rests
with the discretion of the bishops.
They can advise against it and punish
any one for remaining in the society
in opposition to their warnings, but
in the United States it cannot go SO
far as to excommunicate Catholics for
remaining in the society without first
referring the question to the Pope at
Rome

Pauperism in Paris.

From the London Standard
Official statistics just published show
an alarming increase of pauperism
in Paris during the last twenty-five
years. In 1861, when the suburbs
were Incorporated with Paris prop
er, the number of families requir-
ing relief was 36,713, compris-
ing 9O,287 persons. The majority
of them had been punished either as
vagabonds, for thieving, or other
crimes. Sixteen years later, in 1877,
when the republic had taken the place
of the empire, the number of pauper
families had increased to SO, 1866. The
growth of pauperism was even more
marked during the following three
years, the statistics showing that dur
ing 1880 no fewer than 46,815 fami-
lies, comprising 125,735 members,
were depending upon relief. At the be-
ginning of the present year 100000
persons were known to be in want of
assistance. From 1861 to 1886, con-
sequently, the number OF paupers had
been doubled. The misery displayed
by these figures would be still greater
if very large number of families who
could no longer gain support 10 the
capital had not left it. The depopula-
ton of Paris by emigration during the
last three years is estimated at be-
tween 10000 and 10000 persons.
An authority on the subject, M. Leroy
Beaulieu, has made calculation, &C.
cording to which the population OF
Paris has decreased by 10000 per-
sons. Among the 10000 persons re-
Quiring relief, all classes-from the
gatherer OF rags and scavengers to the
artist and man of letters-are repre-
scented. During the course OF last year
a new class, that of shop assistants
and merchants clerks, has been added.
owing to thegreat depression in trade.
The misery at present existing in Paris
constitutes a fruitful source of danger
for the future of the capital.

A MORMON'S CASE
Being Argued Before the United State
Supreme Court.

Supreme Court.
WASHINGTON, d. c., April 28.-Ar-
gument was begun in the supreme
court of the United States, in thecases
of Lorenzo Snow vs.. the United States,
in error to the supreme court of the
territory of Utah. Snow was pros
ecuted in the district court of the
First Judicial District Of Utah,
under the Edmunds act, for unlawful
cohabitation with seven women; he
was convicted and given the highest
punishment under the law, and is now
undergoing Imprisonment in the peni-
tertiary. There were three indict-
ments against MIN charging him with
the commission of the crime during the
years 1884 and during the first
eleven months of 1885 respectively,
and on each he was convicted.
On appeal to the supreme court
of the territory the Judgment of
the district court was affirmed.
The questions in the case before this
court involve the construction and
effect of the third section OF the Ed
munds act, and what constitutes an
offense under it; also the evidence ad-
Rlissible to prove it. George Ticknor
Curtis and Franklin S. Richards are
counsel for Snow. Mr.. Richards open
ed the argument with statement OF
the points involved in the case.

tanned that this long journey had been
