ADJUSTMENTS.
D'Alvini and HERMANN at the Aoadem

D.
D'Alvini and Hermann at the Academy.
In company with some six or seven
hundred other persons / witnessed last
night the performance of Hermann,
the magician. In performances OF
this description there are three well
marked stages OF degrees--insipidity,
interest and illusion. 1T would be UNI
fair to say that the performance of
last night belonged in any sense TO the
first OF these ~eategories, but since
the books of Robert Houdin became
popular reading, all the illusion has
assuredly disappeared from the old hat
and handkerchief tricks which used to
make grandfathers feel uncanny.
The intelligent interest which M
takes in such q show as that of last
night consists in the detection of the
tricks of legerdemain by which the re-
suits are accomplished. OF course every
one knew last night that the boy from
whose mouth Hermann appeared to
take numerous eggs had only egg
in his mouth, which he showed at in
t~ervals, the magician only pretending
to remove it.
Hermann had a corps of confeder-
ates scattered through the audience,
and some amusement was created by
the familiarity with which he treated
them as he made them, one after an
other, the subjects of his pranks.
The piece de resistance OF the even
ing was the so-called illusion en-
titled Cremation The act is
not ill-conceived, but in effect
it is merely a somewhat crude
application of well-known optI-
cal principles, such as have fire.
quently been used for the production
of ghosts upon the stage. This por-
ton of the performance was saved
from falling fiat, last night, by the
admirable pantomime OF DAWN,
who, besides being an admirable Jug
gler, is an actor of great merit.
Altogether he carried off the honors OF
the evening, and deservedly.
Irish Songs at the Tabernacle.
The Irish national songs sung by
Mr.. William Ludwig and his fine com
pany at the Tabernacle last evening
were something new in the musical line
in this city. The songs were the best
selections from the immense store of
songs and ballads which have been
produced by the bards of the Emerald
Isle. These concerts are well worth
hearing, for they are a new departure
in concert music. The company has
been in the country only a few
months, hence most of the songs and
ballads have never been sung Oh this
side of the water. The concert opened
with a duet, What would you do,
Love-" by Mime. Adelaide Mullin and
Mr.. Henry Beaumont. "Thady
O'Flynnn was sung by Miss
Annie Layton. 1.-THE Memory Of
the Dead was the first selection
sung by Mr.. Ludwig, who filled
the house with his fine baritone voice.
The Others were: ''The Snow-breasted
Pearl" MIR. Beaumont; Meeting of
the Waters Miss Layton, and 1.-THE
Boys of Wexford" Mr.. Ludwig. '"The
Death of Owen Roe O'NeiI' is a very
pathetic piece and was feelingly sung
by Mr.. Ludwig, and Miss Layton sang
1.-THE Kerry Dance in splendid style.
The last solo sung by Nj. Ludwig was
1.-THE Wearin' o the Green The
closing selection was 'Let Erin Re
member, . sung by Mime. Mullen, Miss
Layton, Mr.. Beaumont and Mr.. Lud-
wig.

Secretary. Why, my boy. | cant

I couldn help having some fun now and
then. But / don't consider that l let
down my dignity in driving that wagon.
II inst came down TO the question OF
backing out or saying that couldn't
drive and how would it look for the
Secretary of Agriculture to say that he
wouidn't drive a hay wagon? had to
either drive that team or acknowledge
that couldn't, and wouldn't do that
| drove that wagon and we had a good
time, too. and the Ex-Governor leaned

Charleston I received beautiful little
poem on the subject. written especially
to set to music by an accomplished poet.
ess. Well. sent that poem TO i've OF
the best song-composers in the city, and
each in his turn returned it, saying that
il was impossible 10 compose any music
to suit il. There are hundreds OF songs
that have been accepted and published
that lie in obscurity upon the shelves in
music stores, that il sung in an opera or
a few popular concerts would make the
composers famous. | always think OF
the poet Gray's lines
"Full many gem Of puresi ray sersne." etc.
when / look at the number OF
songs in stock that will never be
asked for, much less sung. Nothing
succeeds like success, and if you try to
sell song that is not known yot are
met with the answer " don't want IT,
because ] never heard anything about
it." Accepted authors IN music are like

consider S2j fair price for n song and
run the risk OF it being sold. A royalty
is paid to popular song-wrlters, and the
publisher of course runs the risk OF sell
ing enough to pay expenses.
THE price that young composer
puts on his songs is very much at vari-
ance with the figures of the publisher.
Recently a young man bubbllng over
with enthusiasm (they all bubble) came
into my Office and said he had written
and set to music a classical gem, or can
tata. which he desired to sell to me out

fortune. l asked him how much he

astonished and asked mo how much
thought his song WAS worth. told him
that SD would be big price to pay for
it. He rushed ont rs if thoroughly in
censed. He evidently thought was at
tempting to have sport ont OF him. In
a week he came back, after he had been
to other publishers, | presume, and
asked me If / would give him S23 for it.
He is a sample of many that know abso-
lutely nothing about the value of songs.
cit is like specuiating on Wall street
to invest in song. If knew that a song
was going TO be sung IN comedy OF
opera boutfe, it would be worth buying
for small sum. The song-composer
who has confidence IN himself and
money simply pays to have his works
published. A hundred copies will he
printed for the first edition, and. If the
song Is go, it Is very easy to run off
500 more.

Sug and Raspberry Williamson, while
ploughing one afternoon lately near
Abbeyville, Ga, came across an adder
about twelve inches long. The clrcum-
ference of the snake somewhere near the
middle Of its body being out of proper
ton the boys decided to make an e1-
animation. They gave the snake a
gentle tap on the head, and a
large toad was vomited from It's
hot, airless resting place. To all APP
pearances the toao WAS dead, and was
pitched into fence-corner. About sun
down, however, when the two young
men were preparing to go home, they
looked TO see what had become Of their
unfortunate victim. To their surprise,
the frog was batting his eyes and getting
ready for its mighty hop. as if anxious to
swallow something itself.

As she was perfect stranger to the
paying-teller he said very politely :
Madam, YOU will have to bring some
one to introduce you before we can cash

Drawing herself up quite haughtily
she said freezingly: But do not WISH

After getting il into her mind that the
money was not to be forthcoming with

wOMAN's HELPLEssSEss.
The mind of tho average woman may
not he as strong and far reaching as that
OF the man. but womans perceptions
are generally quicker, and what she Is
trained TO DO, she generally does quickly
and well, but there lies the root OF the
whole matter.
One fruitful source Of the seeming
belplessaess OF our sex in business mat
ters il found in the chIvalrous attitude
OF aye gentleman Of ye olden time
toward the ladies of his household. lie
was the head OF tho family, their pro
tector in every sense of the word. All
transactions with the outer world passed
through his hands there was no need for
them to learn what they never expected
TO do. Thus many shining talents,
through desuetude, passed away forever,
leaving the next generation weaker IN
that particular.
Again. our system OF education Is as
vet empire. The minds of our children
are often burdened with Improbable
lore. 10 the exclusion of things pertain
ing TO our practical, everyday HE.
Now that SO many avenues OF employ
ment are opening to women, 1t 10 so
often necessary for them TO go ont into
the world III search Of work that their
early education should be rs practical
and self-helptul as possible.
WHAT GIRLS SHOULD KNOW.
Girls should know how to keep an ac-
count Of their own little moneys-their
incomlngs. their outgoings. 1t is a
wholesome check upon extravaganza,
which is but another phase OF thought
lessness.
They should know how TO write
check. to endorse and cash it how to
send the "blue things" wlthouttorturlng
the post-ofiee clerks.
They should early learn the sacred
ness Of a contract-the value Of money
and Of time.
There Is sentence which should be
placarded everywhere Lost, a golden
hour, set with sixty diamond minutes.
No reward is offered. as 1t Is gone for
