a sort of semi-recitative, in manner that
did not give that wildly descriptive number
much importance. 1t was effort without
accomplishment all through. Miss Ellen
Atkins attempted the pretty little thing
Arthur S. Sullivan has drawn from the third
act OF Shakespeare's Henry VIII-"Orpheus
with His Lutte" and gave no satisfaction by
its rendering. The lady's voice sounded
hard. cold and unsympathetic, and showed
uncertainty in attack at the first note.
Henry Smart's duettino 'We Two" sung
by Mr.. Lloyd and Miss Atkins, suffered in
the same way. The rendering was only
perfunctory, and the singers made the audi
ence feel this keenly by an unresponsive
and almost geld manner. The next must

About 16S BIC. Antiochus Epiphanes with
q vast army lay before Alexandria EGYPT
preparatory to his fourth Invasion OF that
country. The two brothers on the throne
then. Ptolemy PhyscOn and Ptolemy Philo-
meter, had sent an embassy TO Rome lmpior-
ing help against their uncle Antiochus, who
was now beSiegIng Alexandria.
The Romans just then had their hands
full in the East, but the battle of Pydna had
just been fought and won and Maced0n was
conquered and 10 satisfy tine ciamorous
Egyptian ambassadors commission was at
once dispatched from Rome, secret orders,

and they at once went to Egypt. "At their

pre-eminently qualified 10 carry out the
haughtiest instructions in the haughtiest
manner" The commissioners met Anti
ochus at place called Eleusis, on the sea
shore four miles from Alexandria.
DURING HIS LONG RESIDENCE
At Rome, Antiochus had been on terms of
intimacy with Pop!lius, and seeing him now
at the head of the commissioners stretched
forth his arms to embrace him, but the
Roman sternly repealed the salute, demand
ing hrst to receive an answer TO the written
order of the Senate, Uf which he was the
bearer, at the same time handing to the
King an official tablet, containing but one

On reading this naughty missiye the King
felt equally indignant and grieved. Still,
descending his feelings, he said calmly to
Popilius: " will confer on this matter
with my friends and let thee now the re-
suit" But the naughty Roman refused 10
grant the King even the sembance of free
VIII. Instant, abject submission to the
mandate of the Senate was what he required
and exacte0. With his staff, Popilius drew
q circle round the King on the sand, and
said: Z" / require thy answer to the choice
'tNiXt the friendship or the enmity of Rome
before thou steppest out of this circle"
The struggle in the Kings mind between
prize and fear, though fierce, was brief. Il
viii obey the Senate" was the fatering
answer reluctantly wrung from the con-
scious feeling of his inIpotency. as his eye
imperious quailed beneath the steadfast gaze
of tie stern republican, and his royal head
bowed humbly In token of submission.
Then, as if in pity for the mental anguish
lie had inflicted on the King, Popiiius ex-
tended his hand to his old friend.
IT IS RATHER STRANGE
That these two incidents, happening 1900
years apart, had for their groundwork or
power Rome; and in each case her power
was equally effeetual to command equal
obedience. Truly the mistress Of the world
but the ages, the times that sanctioned
the proceedings have passed, and more en-
G5htened power reigns.

Alba m bra.

Quite brilliant asssmblage gathered
at the residence of Mr.. T. J. Stewart last
Friday evening, the occasion being the
fifth of a series of most delightful socials
given under the direction of the Ladies'
Circle of the Methodist church. A
varied programme of music, games, etc. ,
was carried out, and an evening of ex.
ceptional enjoyment was the result.
The local baseball nine met with its
first defeat at the hands of the San Fer
nandos, Saturday. Their previous bril-
liant success had probably tended to
render the Alhamb bra boys a trife over
confident, as their playing was not up to
the usual standard.
The ladies of the Episcopal denomina-
tion have organized sewing circle, with
Mrs. 0. II. Stone as presiding officer.
Tho ultimate end to be attained is the
erection of church edifcs, to which
cause the ladies' will contribute their
efforts.
Mr.. 8. M. Steen having purchased q
ranch at Duarte, will remove his family
to that place some time during the COM
ing week. Their departure will be a
source of much regret to their many
friends here, and the community to
which they go is to be congratulated.

Oattlemen Report Heavy Losses OF
Livestock In Nevada.
SAN Francisco, February 12.-J. @.
Nothen, of Eureka, Nevada, who is in
this city, states that in traversing eighty
odd miles of road from Eureka TO Pail
eSde, he saw the carcasses of about 200
dead cattle. He said he had heard of
the loss of thousands and that he con-
,sidered the statements we'll authenticated.
He believes that the losses OF cattlemen
would be over 25 per cent. in the State.
Simon Wenbum, cattle owner, OF
Oartez valley, expressed himself in the
same manner,
Among other cattlemen now here are
Levi Hamilton, of Reno, and w. H..
Holbert, of Granite Creek. They agree
in the opinion that the losses are very
heavy.
d. M. Wightman, a cattleman OF
Wadsworth, just arrived here, says that
the weather has moderated during the
last few days. Warm west and south
winds have been taking off the snow
rapidly. 1t is pretty deep yet in Eastern
Nevada, but about Elko and other val
leys in the central part of the State it
is going fast. He says that cattle nearly
all over the State were in poor condition
at the beginning of the winter; feed and
water were both scarce, and this is the
reason of the unusual heavy Losses. He
does not think that the loss will reach 30
per cent, and says that sheep.owners
have suffered q good deal more than cat
tlemen. He estimates the loss of the
former at rs per cent.
