THE MUSIC WORLD.
Ethelbert Eevin's Talks on the
Nibelungen Ring Last Week.
TIE SERIES MAY BE REPEATED.
Schsrwenfa, the Famous Berlin Musician
Coming to America.
GOSSIP OF A LOCAL CHARACTER

On the past three evenings the spacious
parlors of Colonel Robert P. Nevin's resi-
denee, at Edgeworth, have been crowded
with music-lovers, mostly recruited from the
Sewickley Valley, but with fair sprink-
ling of city folk-all intently listening
to the unfolding of the wondrous old tale Of
the "Nibelungen Ring, as composed by
Richard Wagner in his four immortal music
dramas and described in words and piano
forte tones by Mr.. Ethelbert Nevin.
1t is safe to say that every auditor went
away with an entirely new realization oil
the intent and meaning of Wagner's art
work; with new realization, indeed, of the
capacity of absolute music (without vocal
text) for expressing concrete ideas and
emotions.
Mr.. Nevin made no pretense Of formality
in his remarks, nor even of connected logical
arrangement of the subject,matter. Taking up
the pianoforte scores, he simply stated at the
beginning of the "Rheingold," =" and, in the
successive evenings, went on through to the
close of the 'Goetterdaemmerung," telling
the story and describing the scenery and
action as he went along calling attention to
the more important leit-motjs with their
meanings and treatment, constantly illus
trating his words by snatches of
pldNluS duu frequently pldllug WuOle
scenes of the score. Indeed, the instrument
was used much more than the voice, thus
giving to the terse, but sufficient, verbal ex-
plantations a constant musical illustration
more graphic than any words could be.
1t was like one of the handsome illus.
trated books whose plates from their rdtson
d'etre, the text being explanatory and con-
tributorv. Or better, like that lecture that
the inimitable Th: Mast gave in old Library
Hall dozen years ago, when his marvellous
crayon sketchfng filled ont and gave life to
the bright fancies uttered by his tongue.
Mr.. Nevin was amazingly successful in
the all-but impossible task of portraying
with the pianoforte the inner soul Of the
music that Wagner has embodied in his
wondrous web of interlaced motifs
in gorgeous orchestral colors. The
most admirably contrasted tone colors were
produced, throwing the themes into bold re-
lief and giving a faithful "impressIonist'
reproduction of the score. Mr. Nevin
showed phenomenal familiarity with the
whole of his subject matter, down 10 the
minutest details of orchestration.
1t was cause for regret that these "Nibe-
lungen" talks were SO inaccessible to the
music lovers dwelling in the heart of the
city and in other suburbs, and many will
no doubt rejoice at the information that
Mr.. Nevin is being urged, with some like
Iihood of success, to repeat the series (which
he has already given in Boston and Chi
cago) at some central point which all can
reach.

A UNION OF THEIR OWN.
How Expressmen See That Their Rivals
Do Not Cut Rates.

How Expressmeu See That Their Rivals
Do Not Cut Rates.
The latest in union Is that effected by
the expressmen at the foot of Fifth avenue.
A lady who had occasion to have some
trunks and baggage moved from one resi-
dence to another on Penn avenue the other
day and employed one of the ex-
pressmen found at their acknowl.
edged stand to do the work, was
afterward, much to her surprise, made
referee as to the price paid. The trunks
were unpacked and slowed away in the
earret, when the maid assembled the stairs
and informed milady that the man who
moved her trunk wished to see
her. Wondering much what had
given her the honor of visit, as the man
had received his money for the work ere he
left the house, the lady made her appear
ance at the front door and beheld two ex-
pressmen, one on either side of the vestibule,
and half dozen youngsters, ranging in
years from up to 9, occupying various po-
sions on the steps, while out in the street
were the respective vehicles belonging to
the two men.
'tLady, we wish to know what this man
offered to haul your trunks for?" said the
strange expressman, at the same time dofflng
his hat
"What difference does it make to you
what he charged me?"
well, it makes considerable difference.
What was his price7"
'Shall tell him?" asked the lady thus
questioned, addressing the man who con-
Quoted the trunk business, but who re-
NAMED woefully silent
eyes, madame. if you please"
"One dollar"
''ohP was the ejaculation of the ques-
tioner, who donned his hat and made q
rapid exit to his wagon, while the supposed
culprit remained long enough to say that
the other expressmen had accused him of
cutting prices, and ne took that means of
himself before he and the small
company OF youthful witnesses took their de-
parture.

A Horse Jumps Onto a Street Car Plat.
form ard Cnuses Panic.
A runaway occurred yesterday afternoon
on the Southside that wound up with an
incident that has seldom been paralleled.
A horse came tearing down Bingham
street. II ran into the Southside
Diamond, turned up South Twelfth street,
with hisharness tapping and cracking
about his legs. Up Twelfth street he went
at terrific gait, and as he reached the cor
ner of Washington street a Southside Short
Line carwas cross ing Twelfth street coming
down. The presence Of the car
directly in his path did not check the
frightened animal in the least. He kept on
and one OF his bounds landed him squarely
on the platform of the car.
The driver of the car jumped as he saw
the horse take the flying leap and escaped to
the sidewalk. The car horses kept on at
their usual pace. and after traversing about
half of the square the runaway vacated the
platform and once more took to his heels,
permitting the driver to resume charge.
The spectacle of the horse on the platform
attracted about 200 people in one minute.

A Great Mans Greatest Thought.

At dinner at the Astor House when
Daniel Webster was Secretary of
State under President Fillmore, after
O period of silence which fell upon the
company of some twenty gentlemen
who were present, one Of. the guests
said;
"Mr. Webster, will you tell US what
was the most important thought that
ever occupied your mindw
"Mr. Webster slowly passed his
hand over his forehead, and in low
tone inquired of one near him:
"Is there anyone here who does not
know me?"
"No all are your friends"
1.-The most important thought that
ever occupied my mind" said Mr..
Webster, Twas that of my individual
responsibility to God."' And after
speaking on this subject in the most
solemn strain for twenty minutes, he
silently rose from the table and retired
to his room.
This incident related by Harvey in
his "Reminiscences" serves to illos-
trate the attitude of great minds to-
ward eternal things. Great men are
not scoffers. The men of fiippant
jeers and goddess jests are men ofsmall
caliber and shallow intellect. 1t is not
the wise man who has "said in his
herat, there is no God"

BE Master, And Not Mastered.

1t is not by regretting what is irrep-
arabic that true work is to be done, but
by making the best of what we are; it
is not by complaining that we have
not the right tools, but by using we'll
the tools we have. Where we are and
what we are is Gods providential ar
rangment, and the wise way is to look
our disadvantages in the face and see
what can be made out of them, Life,
like war, is a series of mistakes, and
he is not the best Christian nor the
best general who makes the fewest
false steps-.poor mediocrity may do
that-but he is the best who wins the
most splendid victories be the retriey

Good Advice.

Never give way to melancholy.
Nothing encroaches more. 1 fight
against it vigorously. One great REM
edy is to take short views of life. Are
you happy ? Are you likely to re-
main so till this evening or next
month, or next year? Then why de-
stroy present happiness by distant
misery, which may never come at all
or you may never live to see it ? For
every substantial grief has twenty
shadows, and most of them shadows of
our own making.-Sydney Smith.

that when he went astray in some
things editorially and called his at
tention to it, he said, "Sit down and
write another editorial such as I
should write in view of what has been
published" Of course 1 was on my
honor not to commit him to any edi-
torial humiliation while Strengthening
out the mistake. When, without read
ing, he signed H. g." to what [ h ad
written and sent it to the composing
room, felt that was the greatest pos
sible expression of confidence.

Lies.

1t is not calumny nor treachery that
does the most harm in the world. They
are continually crushed, and are felt
only in being conquered. But it is the
clustering and softly-spoken lie /; the
amiable fallacy: the patriotic lie of the
historian ; the provident lie of the poll
tician: the jeolous lie of the partisan;
the merciful lie of the friend; and the
careless lie of each man to himself,
which darken and degrade our life.-
Ruskin.
