cato is not to be heard with q grave
face. The song of the Duke, allegro,
marziale, is without special value; but
the ballad for Luiz is little gem. In
several respects the Savoy operas are far
superior to any contemporary work of
the sort, and this ballad furnishes an
example. dr. Gilbert has adopted the
style of the Seventeenth century poet
though for some reason he has chosen to
date the opera at a later period, 1850
and Sir Arthur has entered into the
spirit of the words with wonderful feel
| ing and refinement Such work is, it
may be feared, wasted on many hearers,
but it will be cordially appreciated by
those who have perception. Tessa's
song, when a Merry Maiden Marries,"
is again an instance of sympathetic ex-
preston.
1t is bright, with just touch of senti-
ment; while Gianetta's air, kind sir,
you cannot have the heart our lives to
part" is equally charming, though in
some respects the reverse of Tessa's song

captivating melody in G-dat major, six-

cumstance that Marco has been a Condo

The chords are exceptionally rich, and at
the same time singularly delicate, wood
wind being joined with pizzicato violins.
AS for the cachuca, the writing of 1t must
have been an easy task for Sir Arthur;
but it makes great hit, as, happily, does
the quartet, "In contemplative fash
ion," which doubtless cost the composer
a good deal of thought.

But the burgers of New Amsterdam,
as new generations came on, waxed rich.
Broadway passed the old ropewalk near
the present site of the Astor house, shot
over Union square; and where the Fifth
Avenue hosel now stands met Fifth ave-
nue., which, climbing Murray hill, now
runs through the aristocratic dwelling
portions of the city. New Years day be-
came social gala day The young
bloo1s went, half dozen together, in car
riages, and parties We'd with each other
as to how many calls they could make.
In the palmy days of New Years calling
the most fashionable people wore even
ing dress, the blinds of the parlors were
closed, and the gas lighted. The scene
within was often like that oi an evening
reception of the present day
But as the Dutch New York burgers
of old were overrun by the English, SO
the New York swells of today have suf-
fered the same fate. A disease called
Anglomania appeared in tie land and
seized upon swelldom. The English aris-

his country seat, and when the New
York parvenu became wealthy enough
to have country seat he must needs inn
itate his English model and go to it for
Christmas and New Year.
When the New Yorker began to spend
the holidays as his English cousin spends
them, New Years calls began to fall off.
So for several years New Years calling
in cities has been dropped. Fortunately
there are still left people who do not
have chateaus in the midst of great
parks, who cling to the old custom. On
New Years day they visit their friends
with something of the simplicity of for
mer days and enjoy it as it was enjoyed
then. But the great rush of New Years
day as it existed ten years ago is passed,
and it is no great loss.

Cas.-And to think that, but for this miserable
discovery, you would have been my own for liTsI

Cas.-How greedily my thirsty ears would have
drunk the golden melody of those sweet words a
quarter-well, it's now about twenty minutes
since. Cooking at her watch)
Luiz-About that. In such matter one cannot
be too precise,
The verse is frequently poetical, and it
is charming to note the manner in which
Sir Arthur Sullivan enters into the spirit
of the lines. The Gondoliers' duet,
"We're called Gondolieri," is light and
gay, until a reference is made in the
course of it to vespers and vigils and
serenades, and then a shade of sentiment
is cunningly suggested in the score by
other means than a simple piano. The
good ideas are discreetly handled and
not overdone. The fantastic notion of
turning the Duke of Plaza-Toro into
limited company is case in point. A
few sentences spring from the announce
ment. The daughter trusts that she may
never be called upon at any time to wit
ness her honored sire in process of liqui-
dation; and her mother admits that, "if
your father stops, it will of course be
necessary to wind him up" Otherwise
little is heard of the Duke in his novel
capacity until the excellent satire of the
song in which Duke and Duchess describe
the nature of the functions they fulfill,
the Duke explaining how he secures
honors to satisfy cheap ambition, adver-
tises "ready made" tailors, at whose
manufacture he admits that Robinson
Crusoe would gibe; while part of the
Duchess confession runs:
write letters blatant
On medicines patent,
And use any other you mustn't;
And vow my complexion
Derives its perfection
From somebody's soap-which 1t doesn't
sit certainly doesn'tr the Duke quantity
echoes. The ladies who at once advertise
themselves and soap are SO familiar, and
the business is so obvious and absurd,
that it is a wonder satirists have had
nothing effective to say hitherto.
Sir Arthur's music is unfailingly me-
lodious, and the freshness of it, consid-
ering that this is his tenth opera, is
quite extraordinary. Only very rarely
indeed do we catch faint echo of his

GAMBLING AND BURGLING.
All the Year Round.

! All the Year Round.
Gambling and burgling always occupy
a good deal of public attention during the
course of year. There is not very OBJ
vious connection between the two. vet
the subtle moralist may find an associa-
ti@n. Both sre persuits of men who
ought to be otherwise, and more profita-
bly,, engaged. Both are the expressions
of desire to acquire riches at one stroke
or, at the most, two strokes-and to
avoid the monotony of continuous labor
And both are the results of radical mis-
conceptions on the part of the individual
practitioners.
Nobody ever gets rich by gambling 4;
but it IS open to demonstration that, if
the same amount of skill, of cerebral
energy, of mental dexterity, and of acute
perception, were expended in productive
work of some kind as is expended on
games of chance, the rewards would be
substantial and certain. Again, the
bmgler who .burgles on the large scale
is playing against fearful odds, '.and is GER
tain to come to grief sooner or later
while, if he burgles on a small scale, he
can but snatch a precarious and insignif-
cant pittance, considerably below what
he might easily earn by Legitimate industry
in lawful hours.
There is perhaps, charm of excite
ment in burglary with facinates the pro-
fessional outlaw, even as the excitement
of the truf or the cards enthralls the pro .
| fessional, CANISTER. But to take plain,
practical view Of both pursuits and one
apart altogether from the ethics of the
matter, is to lead one 10 the conclusion
that neither game is worth the candle.
The law, of course, takes other views
of both. The burglar indulges in his ex-
citing career at the expense of the COM
munity, and Injuries everybody, including
himself. The gambler INDUCES in his
habitual excitement without iniuring
directly any body but himself and those
dependent on him, who, from a social
point of view, may be regarded as part of
himself. The burglar, therefore, is obiee-
tive In his existence; the gambler, sub.
jective. To put it otherwise, the burglar
is common enemy, and the gambler
nobody's enemy but his own.
The great fact which the community
has to consider, and the law to provide
for, is that the burglar is one who is in
permanent rebellion against society, and
is, by the very nature of his employment.
both degraded and desperate. And this
we are compelled to assume, in spite of
Mr.. w. S. Gilberts humorous theory
that
When the enterprisng burglars not a-burgling
When the cut-throat isn't occupied in crime.
He loves to hear the little brook a-gurgling,
And listen to the merry village chime.

THE WORLDWIDE INFLUENZA.

AS what has been variously called N
fiuenza, Ia Grippe and Tyler grip is find
ing It's way with wonderful speed into
every nook and corner of this country, il
may he of general interest to know some
thing of its history during the past GER.
tury. We, therefore, make room for the
following items:
The last appearance of the grip, which
is now affecting good many communi.
ties, was in 1S43. OF course there have
been limited epidemics of influenza since,
but nothing of such widespread na-
ture. 1t is II singular coincidence that the
last severe epidemic was during the term
that should have been served by the
gradfather of the present President. AS
he died within month after his inaugu-
ration, the epidemic took place during
that part of Harrison's term that was
filled out 10y Tyler. The disease was
known as the "Tyler grip" Tyler had
abandoned the Wing party on the bank
question, and during his entire term he
was cordially hated by the Wings.
Every affliction, from the hog cholera TO
the potato-rot, was charged to Tyler
The Wings took all unhappy experiences
as just penalty for having made Tyler
the Vice President. So when Tie influ-
enza made its painful way into every town
and village in the country, making strong
men weep and giving everybody sore
throat and headache, the Wings charged
1t to Tyler, and everybody spoke of the
"Tyler grip" This much is certain
that the two most decided epidemics have
followed the election of a Harrison to
Office and the Democrats may make the
most of ii.
Account of an epidemical catarrh or in
tluenza, by DIR. John Fothergill London,
December 6, 1775:
about the beginning of last month it
was mentioned to me in many families
that most of the servants were sick; that
they had colds, coughs, soar throats, and
various other complaints.
'' In the space of week these com.
plants became more general few ser
wants escape them, especially the men
who were most abroad many of the
other sex, likewise, and people of
higher condition were attacked nor
were children wholly exempted" 80
Most of those whom | saw were seized
(and often so suddenly as to be sensible
of the attack with swimming or slight
pain in the head, a soreness of the
taroat and all over the body, with n
sense of GOODNESS, particularly in the ex.
tremities. A cough soon followed, rum
ming of the nose, waterY eyes, and slight
nausea. More or less feyerisb
heat, inquietude, pain about the breast
and limbs soon succeeded. In
many cases it was neces sary to take
away some blood. Other treat.
ment consisted of warmth diluting.
cooling liquids; mild diaphoretics, and
gentle and repeated purgatives. Some
times blisters became necessary, and were
serviceable in abating the cough, which
was the last of all the symptoms to give
away. Many who neglected
themselves, and went abroad with the
distemper upon them, frequently got ad.
