We live in an age of self importance,
sustained and promoted by methods un-
known to the simple minds of our an
cestors. The interviewer and the re.
corder of social gossip have artfully
created daily want which they them
selves supply. If A., the millionaire,
adds an acre to his estate we ascertain
the price paid for it almost as soon as he
does. We could pass a creditable exami-
nation upon the habits of q, the essay
list, during working hours; we are thrice
familiar with the arrangement Of his
furniture, and have even learned what
pens he uses.
The harm in dwelling upon these
things is not at first apparent, since we
burn to know them. This weakness Of
mind induces the belief that our friends
are eager for similar details about our
selves, and as natural consequence
when it is our cue to talk the personal
nominative does not lack advancement
Egotism, spoken and written, is tine fash
ion as well as the failing Of our waning
day.-Scribner's.

Nearly the whole Of an act of ''Lohen-
grin" has at last been performed at the
Grand Op. !. but the trick was man
aged in such way that no Chauyinistic
prejudices could be hurt. It was an
nounced that at the performance given
for HE benefit of NJ Dumainie duet
from Wagner's opera would be sung by
Mime. Caron and u. Vergnet. When
the audience expected the two singers
to come on in ordinary dress the con
ductor gave the signal for the orchestra
to attack the first chord of the prelude
to the third act.
The curtain then rose on the bridal
chorus. and, this finished, Elsa and
Lohengrin were left on the stage to sing
the most interesting and the most i'm
FASHIONED love duet that has ever been
written. Now that an attempt has been
made to reverse the sentence passed
upon Tannhauser five and twenty years
ago at the Opera, and 20 make amends
for the brutal treatment Of 'Lohengrin'
at the Eden theatre, it is to be hoped
that the hundreds who applaud Wagner
at the Sunday concerts week after weel

slrtv-one rime. Around Cane Horn.

Capt. j. NJ. Holmes left his home last
week for New York, from whence he will
start on his sixty-second voyage around
Cape Horn. He has the reputation
among seafaring men of having made
the trip around Cape Horn more times
than any living man, and if the captain
keeps his word he will reach the century
mark on the trips before he retires. This
time he is bound for the Golden Gate,
and will probably not be seen az his
home for year or more. He is captain
and principal owner of the proud snip
Charmer, which has weathered many
gales and brought him safely around the
treacherous Horn over sixty times. Cor.
