DIVIDING POETRY AND MUSIC.
A Poem Describing How the First Iris
Kings Shared the Arts.

Poem Describing How the First Irish
Kings Shared the Arts.
There is fragment of the Psaltair OF
Cashel, an old, old Gaelic poem, which tells
how the first two kings Of ireland divided
the arts Of poetry and music between them,
one winning poetry for his people in the
North, the other music for his Southern
subjects. Thus runs the poem, roughly
translated:
The two sons of Spain of bright renown, con-
quered Erin ana Alba.
Along with them hither came comely poet
and harper.
Cir, son of Sis, was the yellow-haired poet, the
harper's name was Cuidtind.
These kings of many battles, they made a
merry contention,
And gal1y they cast lots for the two great
craftsmen,
Until TO Heber, King of the South, fell the
tuneful accomplished minstrel,
Sweetness of string went with him, the making
of love or of valor.
In the South of Erin are found these things,
with the proud race of Heber,
And SO it shall be forever.
There fell to Heremon, King of the Northland,
the poet. the writer OF legends,
With all his noble gifts; and it Is ever the
boast of the Northern
That with his race has ever remained fame in
song and grace in story.
And for ever the North is the land of the poet
No doubt the above verses were sung to
his harp by some cOurtier-bard, who desired
to propitiate both North and South, by as
signing to each some envied attribute.

THE EXPLORER IN EGYPT.
Mrs. Amelia b. Edwards, the Famous Egypt
ologisr, to Lecture in PittsburG.

mP0s Amelia b. EDWARDS the FAMOUS EGypts
ologisr, to Lecture in PittsburE.
Of Amelia B. Edwards, Ph. D., L. H. D.,
LII. D., etc., the merest announcement of
whose forthcoming lecture in this city will
be hailed with delight, it may truly be said
that she is the most learned OF her sex. This
gifted and brilliant woman-popular novel;
ist, journalist, critic, traveller, Egyptologist,
founder and honorary secretary of the
Egypt Exploration Fund-has stepped into
the front rank of living lecturers. She is
addressing crowded audiences, this season Of
1SS9-9O, in the great cities, upon Egyptian,
Graco-Egyptian and Blblical-Egyptian
subjects. The picturesqueness Of her style,
the interest of her facts and the sympathetic
charm of her delivery have evoked
unwonted enthusiasm. Her voice is
peculiarly clear, agreeable. and far
reaching, and she possesses, in a
remarkable degree, the power of holding
her audiences. Herself a practical arch
aoIogist, she relates the wonders of our
Inheritance in ancient Egypt and the stir
ring story of Egyptian exploration, with an
intellectual vividness which makes those
far-away subjects as interesting as a sensa-
tional romance. Herself a skillful artist,
she can, in an instant. deftly illustrate with
chalk some hieroglyphir puzzle or curious
relationship between Egyptian and Greek
arts. Her delicate and spirited pencil, for
example, produced the illustrations which
so charmingly embellish. her "a Thousand
Miles Up the Nile" and her book on the
DOlomite Mountains. Her verbal, as well
as her pencil sketches, are renowned for
their accuracy even IN Details and this
accuracy, based on profound and exhaustive
study of the subject, is what makes Miss
Edwards 'tlectures upon Egypt of the great
est value to her hearers-as behind their
DECENTRALIZATION and humor is an immense
fund of scientific knowledge upon the sub
ject treated.
Her appearance at Old City Hall on the
evening of March 4, under the auspices of
the Press Club, may we'll be set down as an
occasion of the most absorbing interest. 1t
is to be regretted that the extraordinary de-
mand in every city to hear her renders it
impossible for her to give us more than one
lecture. But we shall hear her to the best
advantage and upon a subject-"The Ex-
plorer in Egypt"-that is the most i'm
porrant in even her wide range of topics.

THE DEFENSE OF JUDAS.
story's Poem In Connection With the
Thirty Pieces of Silver.


story's Poem in Connection With the
Thiffy Pieces of Silver.
st. Louis Globe-Democrat.l
Every man who is general reader has,
doubtless, noticed how often, when he has
been reading Of a certain subject, he will
run across the same subject in an uuk-
pected place, and an incident of this kind
brought to my attention a very curious
fact, which was q revelation to me.
I had Just finished W. W. Story's poem,
"The Letter of Roman Lawyer in Jeru-
salem," in which Story presents the legal
aspect of the case of Judas Iscariot, and
suggested that in betraying the Savior he
was only attempting to give Jesus Christ an
opportunity to declare and prove himself
God, and that he only accepted the 30 pieces
of silver to give his act the appearance of a
betrayal for bribe.
1 laid aside the pamphlet containing the
poem and picked up book, in which 1
found an article on the ancient coins of the
East, and one of the first things read was
that the "pieee" of silver of 1000 years
ago was the name of coin and that its
value was 13 cents. 1t did not require much
calculation then for me to see that the price
which was paid Judas by the Sanhedrim for
betraying Christ was only So 80.
Do you know this unexpected information
made Story's poem have strange effect upon
me. Story points to the fact that Judas car
ried the public purse, and could not have
been avaricious or else he would not have
been trusted with this fund for the poor, for
which ne rendered no account to any one,
yet he betrayed his master for So 80. had
always thought that $50 pieces of silver"
meant some large amount, and the statement
astonished me when 1 read it, but referring
to a work on numismatics saw that the
"piece OF silver'of Jerusalem was about the
same value as the ''ore piece" of Denmark,
which is just 13 cents, so I suppose the
statement is true.

BIG BALL ROOMS IN LONDON.

Houses That Will Afford m Evenings
Pleasure to 1000 People.
In London, Ward McAllister says-and
those who have been st great entertainments
in the city on the Thames know it is So
there are houses that will accommodate
from 800 to 1000 people. 1t is no unusual
thing to send out 2, 500 to 1000 invitations
to great ball in the West End, and the
city is so large and the entertainments are
SO varied, that not only one ball, but dozen
are apt to be in progress the same night,
and the same set of people, or a majority of
them, will be invited by all the hostesses.
And again, unlike New York, instead of
going to one dance and remaining the entire
evening, or sometimes until very late in the
morning, the guests go early and make the
circuit of all the houses. Thus it comes
about that there are rarely over 700 people
in one house at time.
