Port Townsend Leader, the port of entry

thus:

Mozart Manuscript. Found.

An interesting discovery has been made
i'm Manchester. While looking over some
old manuscript music i'm the shop OF Mr..
Cornish, the bookseller, DIR. Henry Vat.
son came upon several manuscript copies
Of works by Mozart, which further exami-
nation convinced him to be for IN most
part i'm the composers own handwriting,
says the Manchester Eng Guardian.
Among the manuscripts found are two
concertos written by Mozart when a child.
| and several numbers from the opera OF
"Mithridate," composed at Milan i'm 11l0.
The latter manuscript is without doubt i'm
Mozart's own handwriting. The copies
are i'm capital preservation. and the nota-
ton is clear and good. The discovery
was a mere accident, the existence OF such
treasures in the musty pile of apparently
worthless musical litter being entirely
unsuspected. Yet il was from the
same collection that the original score of
the Messiah now in Buckingham Pal
ace, was brough TO light about twenty
years no.. The music was tben in the
possession of a Mr.. Pearcc of Bristol, and
Il seems strange that after the discovery
of one valuable manuscript no search
should have been made for further auto
graphs. IL is conjectured that the scores
may have been brought over from Italy
by a Miss Hartford. who was studying
composition In Florence n Milan IN
Isle, for manuscript exercises by his lady,
with date and locality marked, are found
in close proximity to the scores. Their,
was a great demand for copies of the
opera when il was first produced. and III,

The guests Of a north side hotel yester-

The Lonely Grave On Powder River.

From the Baker city Democrat.
All pioneers of Baker county who
crossed the plains i'm the fall of 1859, will
remember the lonely grave on the east
side Of Powder river, OF what Is now
known as the Campbell addition to Baker
City. Away back in the month Of Sep
TENDER, 1862, n party Of immigrants fol-
lowing the star of empire westward, lost
OF their number, John Herring. by
sickness, where now stands the town OF
Huntington. The party proceeded on
their journey. and on arriving at Powder
river the wife and son OF John Herring
died, the former aged 30 years and the
latter 10 years, and both were buried in
the same grave. For all these years the
remains Of these argonauts have remained
undisturbed in their rest until now that
all things must give way To the march Of
progress and improvement, they are To
be resurrected at he hands of relatives
and friends and placed where il is to bc
hoped nothing will disturb their future
peaceful slumber. The remains will be-
taken IN charge by Samuel Herring, a son
Of and brother OF the deceased, and in

Would Accept No Royalty.

When "Phillis" was damned with faint
praise out of courtesy 10 the.authoress who
had had successes, IL was thought that the
whole story was told. Not so. The best
of the story was q secret, says the Boston
Home Journal.
When ''Phyllis" was written the mana
ger to whom il was submitted say ut once
that there was no draught in il. II was,
however, difficult TO say to the most sue
cessful woman writer i'm this country both
ia a financial and popular sense "Your
play is a failure" The manager was
more clever thar that. He distributed the
parts. He called a rehearsal and invited
the authoress to oversee IL. She came
she sat il out; she saw the truth at once.
With a shake of her short blonde hair she
said tn the manager, "That won't Ho, will
it?" and the manager co~urteously said,
"No, Mrs. Burnett, no as II is"
She took IL away she worked or II; and
again il was submitted to the manager. II
was yet encouraging. In h meantime
Mr.. Field, who q secured the Boston
strength of the success of Little Lord
Fauntleroy," although II began to seem
unlikely that New York would see IL. He
rehearsed it. The little actress to play
Phyllis thought that she was going 70
make the hit Of her life; the juvenile
record. And yet the play failed. Looked
at specifically lit would appear rs IL Mrs,
Burnett was determined TO nave the play
produced, and as IL she possibly thought
more Of ii than the managers did. This
was not so.
When the manager of the museum wal
prepared to send Mrs. Burnett her royal
ties for the production, he was amazed al
having them refused. The authoress pre-
emptorily declined TO take any Of thu
money, as the play was failure, and SIN
beer produced In Boston without any New
York trial, and given every opportunity I,
succeed, and had been the one failure ol
the season, she was entitled to anything
think that this is the first time on rec
ord that an author has ever refused u
accept royalties. and that therefore ii lie
serves to be recorded.

An Interesting Place. Though Long Out oi

An Interesting Place, Though Long Out OF
Use,
Here is the greenroom, the old green
room OF Drury Lane, not mt present used
for its original purpose, for the genius of
pantomime has taken possession of il,
and II is now a storehouse for odd proper
ties, which are piled up in every corner,
says a writer in Al The Yea ROUND. Yet
it retains its faded, old-fashioned air,
with q dim old pier glass over the fire.
place, i'm which one may imagine refiec-
tons, vague and indistinct, of the famous
actors and actresses of other days. There
is an original looking press, too. that
might have n history 10 tell. and round
the walls are marble busts of the great
performers who are connected with the
history of the theatre, David Garrick fifty
presiding over the scene and Sarah Sid
dons occupying q place OF honor on the
walls. Others there are concealed behind
the comic masks and gilded trappings of
pantomime.
With the earlier race of actors, indeed,
our greenroom cannot boast an acquaint-
ance. But il must nave known the ma
jestic presence of Mrs. Siddons and wit

ates when she retired from the stage i'm

and her Prince Florizel, in the portly form
OF the then Regent, may have admired his
own august person in that faded pier
glass. Lord Byron, too, la often a Wis.,

with the pretty actresses. And then we
have the fascinating yestris, with Mrs.
Glover and Fanny Kelly and Miss o.
Neill, and many others OF more or less re-
nown.
Among the men, the most commanding
presence is, perhaps, that of Edmund
kean, who, oil the stage of Drury, passed
at a bound from poverty n obscurity To
fame and potential wealth, to which last,
however, the snug taverns about Drury
lane and elsewhere supplied the antidote.

known within these walls, and redeemed

STRANGE SCENE IN A CHURCH
The Ordination Of Candidate Inter.
rupted by Charges Against Him.

The Ordination Of Candidate Inter.
rupted by Charges Against Him.
GRAND RAPIDS, MICH, Nov. 10.-At Trinity
Church in this city yesterday during the cere
mony of the ordination to the priesthood
Of Rev. H. II. Johnston q strange scene
occurred. At that point in the service
where the bishop challenges the people TO
declare whatever moral impeachment there
be in the way of the ordination of the
candidate Rev. 8. s. Woodford, the former rec
tor Of Trinity parish, stepped into the chancel
and said: "In the name of God come forward
to protest against the continuance of the cere-
mony on the ground Of tho habitual untruth-
fulness of the candidate"
Bishop Gillespie then demanded that the
pastor imme diately make his specifications and
produce his witnesses on the spot. Woodford
he had only that morning learned certainly
that the ordination was to have occurred yes
terday, but the bishop, in an excited and per-
emptory manner, insisted that the trial occur
then, and Rev. Woodford asked for only few
hours delay, but it was denied him. He stated
that this action had not been taken without the
bishops knowledge, but had been done with
his tacit approval, but this tho bishop de-
nounced as false.
Witnesses Woodford declared that he had
talked with no witnesses about it and there
fore could not tell what they would testify to,
but he named q few who could IL they would
testify to certain things.
The witnesses were all absent and the bishop
called on them to come forward and said that
unless they did so ON the instan. tho ceremony
would 60 on. SO the ceremony went on and
Johnston was ordained.
