They were marked by wide learning and
deep reasoning, and attracted the at
tention of the laity as well as the best
thinkers in the city. Rabbi Gottheil is q
liberal man in the best sense of the word.
He opens his church On Sundays, and
the services are attended by a large
number of Hebrews, who have not the
time to attend service on Saturday. In
addition to this the regular Saturday
sermon is preached, and always to a con-
gregation that is deeply interested in the
eloquent preachers words. 1t is not too
much to say that Rabbi Gottheil is a dis
tinguished public orator, even in this
city, where public orators are so numer-
Gus. He is one of the best Latin, Greek
and Hebrew scholars in this country and
can read, write and speak these three
languages with the utmost ease. I have
heard him recite the songs of Solomon in
the rich Hebraio language OF his fathers
and almost Immediately afterward de-
claimed, with all the fire and energy of
a Demosthenese, q Greek war song. The
rabbi has an interesting family, and lives
in good style. He has a large circle of
acquaintance. He has travelled all over
the world, and for many years was sta
toned in Manchester, England.

A Play in Real Celtic.

One of the coming novelties, to be pro-
duced in New York shortly, is a play in
the Irish language. The Philo Celtic of
this city, an association 10 promote the
study of the Celtic language, has the
matter vigorousuly in hand, and pro-
poses to produce the1p play in a few weeks.
a large number of well known gentlemen
are interested in the scheme, and a host
of young men and women who under
stand the Irish language are to take the
principal characters. 1t will probably
be a success, if only because of its nov
city. It is l4srdly likely to prove Of suf-
fioIent interest to warrant more than one
representation. It is a matter of interest
that the society above alluded to is talk
ing active measures to promote the study
of the language. Only a very few peo-
pie know anything about it, and there
are not over a couple of hundred persons
in this city who could carry on q CONVEX
sstIon in pure Irish.

NEW YORK, April st vas peculiarly
unfortunate that the accident to the City
of Paris should occur at the opening of
what promised to be the greatest season
ever known in transatlantic travel; for,
contrary, it will deter many people from
taking an ocean voyage this season, at
least. How many thousands of people
have never taken an ocean voyage be-
cause of the fear of the sea will never be
learned, but the aggregate, if it could be
known, would indeed be appalling. One
thing seems certain, and that is that
there will be less racing this season, and
consequently, more comfort to the pas
sengers. Of all the suggestions made
apropos of the accident to the City of
Paris, that of an ocean patrol is regarded
by steamship men as the %silliest. Such
a bill has been introduced in the house
and it has caused a lou guffaW in the
various steamship Offices in Bowling
Green.
Capt. Watkins, in charge of the City
of Paris, told me on one of his trips
across the Atlantic last summer that
there was no way of preventing disasters

sFWe cannot do more than build strong
ships, man them by competent men,

OF course If this intelligence is for
warded to Scotland Yard and the fly cops
of the British metropolis sit in silent
ccnfab upon it, their interference may
prevent MI. Rosa from carrying out his
plans, but otherwise he is likely to fol-
low out his wish.
Just at present Rosa seems to be uu-
dergoing a period of oppression. He
dresses well, lives well and looks as hale
and hearty as any man in town, but he
is totally ignored by the newspapers,
and, to Rosa, that is unbearable.

The Duke of Connaught's Visit.

There ave been so many bogus lords
in America, during the last half a dozen
years, that the real, genuine article is
likely to be appreciated when seen. Just
now there is a mild ripple of excitement
in Murray Hill because it is announced
positively that Prince Arthur, the
duke of C~onnaught, is to spend q few
weeks in the United States, after he has
finished his visit TO Canada. He is to be
wined and dined in great style. When
he strikes New York; and the great doors
of the Murray Hill mansions are thrown
open for him, he will find the greeting
SO hearty that he will feel at home at
once. He is to be taken to Newport to
spend a portion of the time, and other
wise made much of by those who have
big bank accounts, and who expect, later
in the year, to be in London; for it will
be a very pleasant thing to be taken in
tow by q real duke, who has not a score
of creditors at his heels. A large num-
Der of dinner parties will be given in
honor of his royal presence, and, alto
gether, he is likely to enjoy what the
late Roscoe Conkling used to call ga
halcYon and vociferous time"

Tamagno and Campanini.

There was a moment of intense excite
ment at the opera the other night when
Tamagno, the great tenor, strobe boldly
on the stage and was vociferously ap-
plauded. During the first few minutes
he was watched eagerly and was listened
to with the deepest attention, and when
the curtain went down it was agreed
upon all sides that a new star had arisen
and all other tenor stars in the musical
sky were dimmed by its luster. Seated
in an orchestra chair a few rows back
from the stage, was q thiok-set man ,
Enthusiastically an Italian. His hair was
parted in the middle and his shirt collar
cut low, so as to expose a w~ell-Tounded
throat. There was no more eager spec
tator in the building. In his day he has
been the best paid and certainly one of
the sweetest voiced tenors the world has
ever heard. But he is no longer young,
and the voice once SO sweet is
husky, n its musice gone for
ever. Toward the close Of the
third act, when all eyes were oentered
on he great singer, and when it was
known to everybody IN the opera house
that the critical moment had come, for
he must take a high G note n hold it
as have all other great tenor in the
past, or give up all claims to greatness.
It was at this very time that the oocu-
pant of the orchestra chair leaned for
ward and whipped out a pair of opera
glasses, riveting them closely upon the
singers face. The audience waited in
silent suspense.s Tamagno threw back
his shoulders ana walked q step or two
forward, raised his head a little in the
o;r ord kbop hoonp Tho gIdi n,rol1o nipu -
in q wonderfully sweet tone. 1t was like
the voice of harpers harping on their
harps. The excitement was intense.
Suddenly the singer threw back his
shoulders still further, advanced another
step or two forward. took the high c
note as clearly as tenor ever
took it before him, and
flooded the great opera house with
tones as sweet and clear as a lark on q
summers morn. The applause that
greeted this performance was spontane-
ous and deserved. ~Tamagno's reputa-
ton was made. He was without doubts
great tenor. The curtain went down
slowly and there were cries for him all
over the house. Suddenly the occupant
of the orchestra chair stood up, took his
handkerchief from his pocket, waved it
in the air. and cried, "Brayo, bravol'
and clapped his hands until he was red
in the face. The curtain went up slowly
and the great singer appeared to bow his
Acknowledgements; and of all the people
who paid tribute to his worth none
seemed more hearty than did the man
who led the applause from the orchestra
chair. 1t was Campanini, once the
greatest tenor of the world, now broken
down and his voice gone forever It was
a manly tribute to the greatness of his
successor.

of the features of upper Broadway on
any pleasant afternoon. He usually
wears a military cloak and other clothing
of English make. It is Stephen Massett,
once known as "Jeems Pipes, of Pipes
Vile - a man who has made and lost a
half dozen fortunes, and who, had he
been able to AVE kept the money he
made, would have rivaled in wealth
either Mackay or Flood; for he was one
of the pioneers of '49; could have q
half of the CITY of a Francisco for the
say so, and later on was the owner of a
diamond mine in South Africa. He was
one of Artemus Ward IS intimate friends,
and like that charming humorist,
his occupation in life was to
make others happy. Massett gave
entertainments, Rotations, songs, etc..
that mad for him a large income and
secured a warm reception for him in any
part Of the world. He is equally at home
in New York, London, St. Petersburg
or Melbourne. He has given his recita-
tions and songs before royalty, and has
intimate relations with some of the best
known public men and women of the
past fifty years. Sam Ward paid him a
tribute by saying he was can epicure
with whom any man might be proud to
dine;' n the gifted and beautiful
Adelaide Nelson, on more thar one oc-
casion, said that he might have been a
great actor or singer if he had only de-
voted his time and talents to more thor
Oughly c~ultivating his rare gifts. He is
over sixty years of age now, but still
alert, n is often seen at public gather
ings. He possesses what is rare in a mar,
for even at his age he sings in falsetto
with remarkable sweetness and purity,
and he declaims with the vIgor of Booth.

Mrs. lrcCleIlan's N~apoleonic Luncheon.

Mrs. McCleIlan's NapOleOnic Luncheon.
1t is not a little singular that the wife
of one of our great war generals should
be a great admirer of Napoleon. Mrs.
George B. Mcclellan has managed to get
together a large collection of mementos
OF the exile Of ST. Helena. Not long
ago she gave a luncheon party at which
the favors were exquisite steel engrav-
ings, each representing appropriate moi
dents in the life of the great French SOL
der, n in the center of the table was a
large Napoleonio hat, the body of which
was of purple violets and the cockade of
white ViOlets. The candles on the table
and those about room were shaded with
white satin covers, on which were the
purple violet, the Napoleonio flower,
and everywhere about the room were i'm
plements and weapons of Napoleon s day.
There were also exhibited many relics
of value, a lock of Napoleon IS hair, a
book written by him and a death mask
of the emperor, the iron crown Of st.
Helena, a sword worn by him, with cut
lass and armor of the hero; in fact,
everything breathed of Napoleon. Per
>haps it may be the beginning of a new
fad.
