Queer Verdi.

Verdi Stunned ovations when he was
in Paris, and declined to show OFF to
interviewers. He kept aloof from
society, and when asked to grand
places spoke Of himself as an old far
mer, who was so in the habit Of rising
at dawn and going to bed early, that
he could not stay awake out of his
sleeping hours. What he regretted
most was not having come in time for
the attic show or late enough for the
horticultural exhibition. wonder he
does not try to set the ''Georgics' to
music, since he ''lives them on lis
great farm. Verdi has q quiet con-
tempt for the easy enthusiasm Of our
generation. How any one with inde-
pendent means and the approval Of his
conscience should attach tho smallest
value to it is beyond his comprehension.
Verdi is rich. He does not strike me
as miserly and believe he is not: but
he is as plain in his way Of living IS if
he were barely trying to make both
ends meet. He must be . man who
lives greatly within himself. I believe
he sat under Mazzini-at any rate he
caught q good deal from that old agi-
tator. The eyes Of Verdi are the only
part Of his physiognomy which reveals
an artist-nature. The rest of the face
expresses dry humor and grit. He
is laconic in his mode Of speech. It is
worth hearing him speak to fools ac-
cording to their folly. Sarcasm. when
he does so, gently Oozes out, He has,
however, no intention to be sarcastic.

MANSIONS OF The BLEST.
Historic and Modern Of
ficial Residences.
Palaces Of Statesmen and
Modest Dcmiciles,
Occupied by Cabinet United
States Senatoys.

It is an old and true remark that one
half Of tho world does not know how
the other half live, and Of the millions
that have never happened to secure an
opportunity to pay visit to the capital
city Of the United States, very few in
deed have any practical idea Of the
methods Of life there. To furnish some
inform alton upon point in which all
have IN interest, and many, il not all,
are more or less curious, the following IL
lustratioDs are given, with appropriate
descriptions filing in some part at least,
the place Of visit to . center Of inter-
est to which all eyes are turned. It has
come to be regarded q sort Of require
ment Of official life that members Of the
Cabinet must keep house, and not re-
side in apartments or hotels and board
ing houses. for the purposes Of recep-
tions and calls Of formal state and so
cial life, and Senator'S too, have fallen in
to the notion that they can better serve
their State II living in houses Of their
own. Il il more digaified than hotel
life, and so perhaps majority Of the
members Of the Senate, live in houses
Of their own. or in rented houses.
