PASSED BY PITTsBURG.

Not Even a CorporaPs Guard Out to See
President Harrison.
President Harrison and his party passed
through the city yesterday morning on the
way back to Washington. Not corporate IS
guard was at the station to see him, and this
is explained on account of the early hour.
Another reason might be that Harrison has
been in Pittsburg so often since he has been
President that his presence here stirs up no
enthusiasm. Certain it is he was not de-
luged with flowers by school children in
this city. The last time he visited Pitts
burg the crowd howled for Blaine.
His son-in-law, w. j. Mckee, Joined the
party and went to Washington with them.
During the night the train made some fast

per hour, but this is nothing unusual for the

First Performance of the stabat.

Perhaps the first performance of the
"Stabat Mater in Pittsburg was the one
given in 1865 at the Academy of Music by
Mr.. Clement Tetedoux, the then leading
spirit of the musical community. Mrs
Eugenie de Lussan, mother of the yiyacious
Zelle, was the solo soprano. The assumption
first public effort of Mr.. Paul Zimmerman

a quarter of century, has just added to his
singing in the similar work Verdi's
Requiem, with the Mozart Club two weeks
ago. Apropos of Mr.. Tetedouxs produc-
tion it may be interesting to recall the re-
suit OF the sharp conflict that took place be-
tween two local press critics in regard to
the same. One alleged that it was
nothing short of musical sacrilege
to give the work with only piano accompa-
orchestra. The other rejoined that 1T was
much better to be given thus than not at all.

Beautiful Tribute of Mr.. SEIZURE,
Mr.. Edward SEIZURE says beautifully: "The
music pulsates with the throbbinps of the
inner life of the characters. HARMONY and
melody resemble deep river of passion,
which now rushes on, confined between its
banks now dashes and foams upon the rocks.
now widens out into an immense lake, now
precipitates itself over cataracts, finally to
be lost (as with Isolde's last song) in the
silence and majesty of the ocean. The final
impression is that of a great calm after q
most violent storm. We, too, feel this
marvellous serenity in sorrow, which is the
secret of true tragedy. More clearly than
yer is revealed the significance of the lines
of the unhappy Leopard: Born at the same
time Love ana Death are brothers: nor the
world below nor the stars above have any,
thing more beautiful"
Rossinis setting of the old Latin hymn,
'Stabat Mater which fills the second half

character of Verdi's "Manzoni" REQUIEM in
place of devotionally elevated stvle. has
been often heard here in its entirety and
most parts of it have been so very freouently
sung in church and concert as to make a de-
scription wholly unnecessary at this late
date.

THE STORY OF A HORSE.

Not very often does a runaway
have so tragic an ending as that in
which Henry Goodine and his team
were concerned on Fridayevening last
Mr.. Goodine, who lives above Fair
banks village, was driving in that
direction on that evening, and when
near the residence of Rev. Henry
Fairbanks his horse struck its heels
against the sleigh runner and took
fright, finally throwing the driver
out and going on alone up the Dan
vile road. This was the last seen of
the animal till Tuesday morning,
when some men who were Gu ting ice
on the river between the bridge and
the Fairbanks freight depot noticed
a hole, and found on examination
that the horse had gone into the
water there. From the Location of
the place where the animal was found
it is safe to say that it soon left the
Danville road, and, running around
the grocery store, plunged blindly in
to the river, head first, pushing its
way about twenty feet above the
hole where he went in. Mr.. Goodine

THE SENIOR EXHIBITION.

The Senior exhibition passed off
very pleasantly last Friday evening
at Academy hall. Prayer was offer
ed by Rev. F. D. Buckley. The first
on the program was an Grafton by
Arthur w. Chaffee, entitled Three
Tragedies" Next came an essay by
Mary E. Hovey of East Hardwick,

by an Grafton by James A. Lytle,
who took for his subject, "Fatalism.
Ethel S. Byington of Charlotte, and
Clara M. Austin of Barton Landing
gave two essays from the same sub
ject, Opinions. The
Mahogany Quartet then gave a selec-
ton and received an encore. Next
came an Grafton entitled Twill Pow
err" by 6. Clinton Frye, who took
the characters of Napoleon and
Abraham Lincoln as illustrations.
The recitation, Dora" was then
given by Jeane P. Moore of North
Monroe, N. ii. Two OratlOnS, The
Characters of Brutus and Antony"
were then delivered by Arthur E.
Hale, and David E. Hartman. The
quartet then sang two selections,
followed by an essay by Nellie c.
Hovey of West Waterford with the
subject, "Peace to men," The recita-
ton entitled 1.-The young gray head"
was given by l.. Mae Robinson of
Barton, followed by selections by the
quartet. The program closed with an
grafton, 1.-The genius of Philan-
thropy," by Henry F. Huse of Rox-
bury, Mass. None of the selections
of the evening werelong, and all gave
evidence of careful study.

VERMONT STATE GRANGE.

The State Grange of Vermont as
sembled in Odd Fellows hall, in this
village, Dec. 9, and held a two days
session. large number of delegates
were present from all parts of the
state. The secretary's report showed
that there had been larger increase
in membership during the past year
than for any one year since the first
organization. The dues for the past
year from the subordinate oranges
have all been promptly paid; in fact,
hestate grange never was in more
prosperous condition than it is to-
day; its bills are all paid and money
in the treasury; new members are
sending in their names from all parts
of the state.
The afternoon and evening of the
9th the doors were open to the pub
lie and the hall was well filled by an
attentive audience. An interesting
address was given from Hon. J. o.
Sanford on Increasing the fertility
Of the farm" Hon. V. 1. Spear
spoke of the ATTRACTIONS of Yer
mont" and his address was listened
to with marked attention, and all
decided that Vermont was not only
the place to be born in, but the place
to live in.
A very instructive address was
that by Prof. L. B. Jones Of Burling-
ton, on "Plant Diseases" which he
illustrated with charts and maps.
At the evening session Senator A.
F. Nichols gave a very hearty adj
| dress of welcome to the grange, and
the members had every reason to be-
lieve throughout the meeting that
he was backed by the people Of St
Johnsbury. The response by the
worthy master was closely listened
| to.
The chairman of committee on
woman's work, Mrs. Luna Sprague
Peck, read an original poem, which
proved that she could write poetry
as well as prose.
interesting address was listened
to from Hon. H. N. Arms of Spring
field; other short addresses, songs,
and music by the grange choir held
the audience until late hour
Thursdays sessions were devoted
to the business of the meeting, listen
ing to the reports of officers, dele
gates, committees, and in passing
resolutions. These included express
sions of thanks to the speakers, as
we'll as to Major N. P. Bowman of
St. Johnsbury for his efforts to make
the meeting of the grange here pleas
ant and profitable.

NEAT CALENDARS,

The Estate Mutual" of Worcester,
represented here by c. S. Hastings,
is out with a handsome calendar for
1892, bearing upon its upper half
fine engraving of the Cathedral at
Old Worcester, England.
The Columbia Daily Calendar
for 1892 is on hand early and will
help the business man to slip along
gracefully through the year without
forgetting where he is. The calendar
is published by the Pope Manufac-
turing company of Boston, and is a
handy little affair, coming out this
year with a decided improvement as
to its standard. Besides furnishing
the dates and opportunity for memo
randa, the leaves contain sugges-
tons concerning the Columbia bicy-
cles, on one of which many a man
glides through his outdoor career.

REEVES BAND CONCERT.

The concert in the Y. M. c. A.
course on Thursday evening by
Reeves American band was thor
oughly enjoyed by a large audience.
There were II parts on the program
and the band responded very gener-
ously to encores. The pieces render
ed were all classical and included
such difficult overtures as Rossini's
William Tell and Tannhauser. The
band keep perfect time and their har-
mony is very pleasing. The soloists
were we'll received and were all en-
cored. The soprano soloist, Mrs.
Morgan, has high voice and is
fair solo singer. The concert closed
with the audience singing America"
led by Mrs. Morgan and the band,
an excellent way to close band con-
cert, and one which the audience
heartily endorsed.

GOTHIS SPRUCE GUM.

Many people regard the post office
as general intelligence office and an
all-around country store. At least
one man does, for two years ago he
wrote on for supply of spruce gum,
saying that he was Vermonter and
wanted some gum for himself and
his children, who, he said, were all
Americans. Assistant Postmaster
Randall supplied his wants and also
forwarded him some more gum this
fall. In acknowledging the receipt of
the last invoice the Missourian writes
Mr.. Randall: Many thanks for the
same. I have some in my mouth
while 1 write, and it is good and
tastes natural"
