The truth Is, says the Clipper, he is an i'm

expects those around him to be as conscien-

disciplinarian and a stickler for the observ-
ance of Professional eti1uette.

N. Gounod's newest sacred work is en-
titled 'St. Francis dAssisi," and is de-
scribed by its composer as musical
diptych." 1t is comparatively brief, is writ
ten for tenor and bass soloists, chorus and
orchestra, and is in two parts The first sec
ton is illustrative of the ecstatic cOntempla-
ton of the miraculous Crucifix OF st.
Francis, and it is joined to the second part
of the work by an orchestral piece, after
which there is chorus of his followers, of
whom the saint takes farewell. In a solo
ST. Francis once more blesses his native
city, and then expires, chorus of celestial
voices receiving his soul into paradise The
work was faYOrably received in Paris.

George Moore continues to air his unflat-
tering opinions oil the modern actor. In the
last number of the National Observer he has
an article on 1.-The Intelligence of Actors"
in which he delivers himself as follows:
The actor lays his hand on literature, on
sculpture, on painting; and in all, his fall
ure is conspicuous. / am not propounding
theory-I am stating a fact; that the
actors failure in literature is more com-
plete than any one else's. Here is fact, a
curious fact, refute it who may, explain it
who can. | offer two explanations, both,
| admit, seem impossible, and yet-well, Of
two imposslbilities choose the lesser! Either
no man of any real intelligence ever be-
came an actor; or acting exercises
strangely subtle, deleterious influence on
the brain and changes intelligent men into
creatures possessed of no idea beyond their
own bodies, together with morbid appe-
lite for paragraphs in the newspapers and
the w6nderment of fools"
