They Col tic w rOng Tickcls.

A terrible mistake recently occurred
in one of our most critical journals,
which illustrates the danger of mixing
up reviews of different art subjects and
the manner in which different branches
of culture can be confounded. A spar.
ring match and concert took place on
The same evening, and, by mischance,
the tickets reached the wrong art critics
cf the newspaper. The musical critic,
thinking it was merely broadening out
of his field of labor, boldly went at his
task and handed in the following re-
view:

strayed into musical soiree; but he
soon found that his knowledge came
readily into play and gave the paper
the following account:

AS she passed he said something about
her being bony but he went after her,
and catching up, he said:

"Good afternoon" she replied, sizing

The following anecdute is very charac-
tcristic: One of Astor's best captains had
made six voyages TO Oh ma without a
ehronometer, but just before sailing on
his seventh voyage he suggested to Mr.
Astor that it would be safer to have one.
"Get one" said the millionaire.
The captain did SO, and entered its
cost on the account current. When
Astor's eye fell upon the item he drew
his pen through it. The captain ex-
postulated.
"Deuce take It, man," said Astor, Il
told you to get one, but l did not say !
would pay for it."
The old seaman left Mr.. Astor's EN-
ployment at once and went down-t town,
and before night was in command of as
fine ship as ever tloated. In three days
he set sail. At the same time Astors
ship, under new commander, also set
sail. The voyage to Hong Kong was
very close, but the captain who, as he
used to say, had discharged John
Jacob Astor," by keeping the men at the
braces, took advantage OF every breath
of wind and won by three days. The
ship was loaded in the shortest possible
time, and before Astor's vessel, which
had arrived in the mean time, was half
loaded our captain weighed anchor, and
with a full cargo of tea sailed for New
York. He arrived in good time and
hoisted out the cargo, which was sold at
auction on the spot. The market WAS
thereby overstocked, and when Astors
ship arrived the price had fallen. Some
time afterward, as the captain was walk
ing down Broadway, he met Mr.. Astor.
F'How much did that chronometer cost
you?" the latter asked.
"Six hundred dollars"
"Well," said Astor, THAT was cheap;
it cost me $50, ,000."
Mr.. Astor was actively engaged in
business for over forty years III 1880
he retired with fortune of $50, 600, 600,
which in the next eighteen years doubled
itself by the simple process of compound
interest Mr. Astor's last years were
passed at his town residence, on Broad
way, opposite Niblo's Garden. Towards
the close of his life his body became
feeble. but his mind retained much of its
original vigor. On the 2Gth of March;
1888, he died, in the S5th year of his age.
The bulk of his fortune was left TO his
favorite child, William B. Astor, who
was already worth four millions. More
than half a million was left for benevo-
lent purposes. Besides S400,O 600 to tho
library, $50, 900 were left to the poor of
his native village in Germany, $50, 600
TO the German Society of New York,
80, 900 to the Home for Aged Ladies,
S., 900 to the German Orphan Asylum,

ONLYA SONG.

1t was only a simple ballad,
Sung to a careless throng;
There were none that knew the singer,
And few that needed the song;
Yet the singers voice was tender,
And sweet as with love untold;
Surely those h,arts were hardened
That is left so hard and cold.
She sang of tho wondrous glory
That touches the woods in spring,
OF the strange soul stirring voices
When ''the hills break forth and sing. "
Of the happy birds low warbling
The requiem of the day,
And the quiet hush of the valleys
In the dusk of the cleaning gray.
And'ons in distant corner
A woman worn with strife
Heard in that song a message
From the springtime of her life,
Fair forms rose up before her
From the mist of vanished years;
She sat in happy bin lness,
Her eyes were yelled in tears.
Then when the song was ended,
And hushed the last sweet tone,
The listener rose up softly
And went on the way alone.
Once more 10 her life of labor
She passed, but her heart was strong;
And she prayed, God bless the singer!
And, oh, tn nix God for the song!"

Wiring Broken Bones Together.

A series of experiments in surgery al
Bellevue hospital, were trial whether
broken bones could be wired together
in human beings, somewhat in the style
of articulating skeletons, instead OF
using bandages and splinters. Five per
sons have been wired, the first instance
being a year and half ago, and he last
recently. The former was Henry Vii
ner, a Polish Jew peddler. He was 8
weak, squalid fellow, scarcely able to
carry his small pack of notions. He
was run over by stage in Broadway
and his knee pan broken, For month
he seemed likely to lose his leg. Then
it was decided to devote his endangered
limb to the caIse of science. The frac-
tured bone was scraped clean, holes
were drilled through it, wires of silver
were run through, and in that way the
pieces were fastened together. The ven
ture turned out al right, and now the
peddlcr walks solidly. DR.. Hubbard,
then house surgeon at Bellevue, says that
it was by his order that the wiring was
done, that the leg would otherwise have
been necessarily amputated, and that
there was positively nothing to he lost
by the operation. - Cor. Boston Herald
