His suit OF Armor.

A few days ago our Troy exchanges
had an account of the finding of the dead
body of man in Hoosick, n. Y, by a
negro in the employ of LeGrand c. lib
bits. 1t was stated that drafts and
money were torn up and scattered all
about on the ground and that death was
caused by bullet fired from a pistol
The Teledrdm of yesterday says:
L. p. Guerlin of Biddeford, Me-, a
nephew of Poulin, the Nashua jeweler,
who committed suicide in Tibbits's
wood, HnUsick, arrived there Wednes-
day, and removed the suicides body to
Nashua, n. H., from which place it will
be taken to st. Hyacinthe, Quebec, for
interment. POulin was not, as reported,
financially embarrassed, but was a pros
porous merchant and worth about $16,-
600. He was eccentric, but for about a
year he acted strangely at times, and on
religious questions his mind was I'M
balanced. He had frequently requested
the city marshal to protect him from his
enemies. Recently he told the marshal
he had no fear of his enemies, as he had
provided himself with suit of armOr
which he was wearing. When preparing
the body for burial the so-called armOr
was found. The demented man had
made vest out of muslin, upon which
he had sewed 81 covers of tin boxes,
used by the Elgin Watch Company in
enclosing watch movements. He drew
about $4,000 out of bank last Saturday,
and at the time appeared perfectly sane.
He was advised to have the money in the
form of drafts, and did so, to the amount
of 800 He insisted upon having them
made payable to bearer. As the drafts
are accounted for, also three or four hun
dred dollars. there still remains about
81, 900, of which there is no account He

The articles of the Hon. S. d. Locke of
Hoosick Falls, n. Y, in the Troy Times.
on the battle of Bennington, have at
tracted some interest here, but they
have been of too partisan q character to
have the weight which they otherwise
might have had. The general tenor is
well shown by the following fippant
treatment of the late late Geo. w. Rob
inson: ut took, after this, many years
of assiduous booming of Bennington and
much "fOrced culture of the ''store-
house, sentiment to get Vermont's
claims for distinctive honors exclusive
as to New York, well established. Here,
in the latitude of Wallonmsac, it is
thought George Robinson did it. After
years of persistent, unfaltering effort.
accompanied by appeals to individuals,
States and Nation, money to build
monument was obtained. With this
monument came glory. This is the gen
esis: First the storehOuse; then George
Robinson; then the monument, and then
glory. George Robinson, standing in
his own door, could almost touch the
storehouse had it returned to earth.
Hence the storehOuse monument but,
to an outsider, the wish comes that
George Robinson had considered the
storehouse less and the "consecrated
ground" more.

Already a large number of prominent

appears now to have reached stage
where prosperity will attend the future.

WE ARE told in the scriptures that
pride ever goeth before fall. The
latest people to exempify this truth are
the young gentlemen who compose the
San Francisco baseball team. In his
speech at the Athletic clubrooms their
leader spoke of our Los Angeles boys as
"babies," and held up himself and asso-
ciates as the "daddies" Of the Los An
geles tyres. 1t was a rather unfilial
act on the part of the bantlings to turn
in and give their "daddies" most un-
mercifuI lambasting. As an instance
of the interest taken in the match at
the Athletic grounds yesterday it may
be mentioned that there were about
eight thousand guesses as to the result
turned in at this office on the coupons
printed in the HERALD. They ranged
from 200 to 1900. The attendance
reached the handsome total OF 5000.

Mr.. and Mrs. L. Newman celebrated
the twenty-ffth anniversary of their
wedding, last Sunday, at their home,
No. $50 Ducommun street, with large
number of their relatives and friends,
which was one of the most delightful
social events of the season. Mrs. A.
Klein and Miss Minnie Newman, daugh-
ters of the host and hostess, having the
happy faculty of making their guests
feel thoroughly at home, thus relieving
their social gathering of every vestige
of formality, and giving each and every
one the utmost enjoyment.
Dancing was enjoyed in the prettily
decorated parlors and Mr.. l.. Mendelson
of Capistrano, who is proficient per-
former on the piano, gave the young
people selection OF waltzes. Recita-

, elegant silver presents were received by
Mr.. and Mrs. Newman, besides showers
OF good wishes from the guests, and the

have delighted an epicure. 1t was

ADJUSTMENTS.

Lohengrin is the one opera that
most pleasingly engages the whilom
student of the music of the future. The
harmonies of nature therein revealed
are phrased in concordant albeit grandi-
ose movements, and while there ia
plenty of the rugged harmony which
afterward was more fully and majestic
ally revealed in the triology, still the
affettuoso elements in this moving story
are presented in most charming theme s.

Juch opera company presented many
agreeable features to the general listener

an undertaking with the existing con-
ditions, and the cuts while not observa-
BILE to many were copious in character.
The orchestra played the overture in
which the lesser themes are wonderfully
entwined together around the lett
motif-The Swan Song-in very
acceptable manner. The strings at the
opening took mp the elementary threads
of the Swan motif with an admirable
sostenuto, then the reeds followed and
finally the bass, giving mastery com.

with minor exceptions. all the evening.
As to the chorus, the ladies thereof sang
the invocation in the first act very well, i,

uneven and often incoherent, lacking in
quality and frequently disregarding the

A RECENT number of the New York
World has a splendid portrait OF Hon.
John G. Carlisle, with an exhaustive
narrative of his career. The World pre-
sents him as one of our presidential
possibilities, and it would be hard to
find man who more fully exemplifies
the spirit and purpose of the Demo-
cratic party than this distinguished
Kentuckian. 1t is pity he does not live
in Ohio or Indiana. The sectional line
will be raised to bar out Carlisle, though
1t seems hard to understand why, With
the war ended twenty-seven years ago,
any one should have the nerve to ad-
vance such chestnut"

ONE OF the anti-free coinage cong ress-
men got off good thing on Mr.. Bland,
the indomitable advocate of the white
metal, when he said that the Bland
bill was an heirloom in that gentle
mans family. He found the Blands
engaged in making money away back in
174S. Well, that is good record for a
man to have. The people want lots OF
money and are grateful to those who
will give it to them. There are few
more popular names in the United
States than that of the Missouri repre-
sentative. He ought some day to be
president in reward for his gallant fight
against the goldbugs.

reached, and the total jumped to the
tremendous sum of $124 ALE, ,95l 40.
These are impressive figures, and they
are emphasized by the fact that the es-
Inmates for the magnificent German
army for this year only amount to $780,
979,733. During the past ten years the
United States has paid out $776, 6,282,-
10007. We see here steady progress
sion that may we'll alarm the taxpayer.
There certainly ought to be some rule
of moderation in these expenditures,
and it is in no sense challenging the
value of the services of the boys in blue
to call a halt in progression that may
reach an appalling magnitude.

THE death of Walt Whitman, "the
good gray poet" is announced in the
kilograms this morning. The deceased
was SUI generis. He possessed the poet
ical fiber in high degree. but might
properly be classed in the Pindaric
order. He was eccentric to the point
of singularity, and, strangely enough,
he had many admirers in England, a
country where they are supposed to be
great sticklers for form and precision.
His oddities pervaded his dress as well
as his writings. About twenty years
ago he was well known figure on the
Broadway stages in New York city. He
never tired of taking Kaleidoscope
view of life from that elevated post of
observation. The poet was often hard
up, as are most men of genius who de-
pend on the masses for their livelihood.
Whitman, however, did not rely en-
tirely on that source, and for years he
filled post in one of the departments
at Washington. He was intensely
patriotic and notably original. His last
days were cheered by many touching
testimonials from his admirers, although
he was reduced to extreme poverty.
His was one of those cases which almost
make one wish that it were the practice
to pension meritorious men of letters in
the United States, as it has been in
many European countries.

IT WAS Mr.. Porter's census that gave
the states of Washington, Oregon and
California only $50 acres in potatoes for
the year 1890, although one man in Los
Angeles county alone planted 800 acres
to that tuber. And yet we are asked to
accept the figures of this same Porter as
an authority on the orchards OF Califor-
MIA, citrus and deciduous. These statis-
tics are doubtless about as valuable as
those relating to potatoes. His popula-
tion statistics have been found infam-
ously inexact in New York, and doubt
less this is the case all over the country.
Los Angeles herald., 1892-03-27

THERE are few Americans who would
undertake to dispute the fact that the
men who saved the union have earned
the everlasting gratitude of their coun-
trymen. All who are in need should be
tenderly cared for, and soldiers homes
are springing up all over the country.
This is as it should be. But with the
most patriotic there is beginning to be a
question as to whether this sort of thing
cannot be overdone. The pension list
is swelling at an unheard of rate. In
1889, $S7 ,644,779.11 were paid out on
this account. In 1890 this sum had
swollen to 500, 1857 ,534. Last year,
however, q monumental climax was
Los Angeles herald., 1892-03-27

THERE has been more talk of war in
the United States duling the past six
months than in the whole preceding
twenty-seven years. Is it something in
the air, or are we to trace its genesis to
some unknown force OF earth, brought
forth by capillary attraction? Whatso-
ever the cause, the same influence is at
work in Europe. The movement of
single Russian army corps sets the whole
continent in tremble.

THE popular fad of the hour is the ex-

of the ensemble work in this opera.
They sang the Bridal Song, however.
fairly well, which was an unexpected
pleasure.
Miss Juch as Elsa portrayed an ideal
and lovely picture, full of sweetness and
womanly attributes. She was in
splendid voice, and sang with matchless
grace and purity. Her opening aria,
full of dreamy, poetic impulses, Oft
when the Hours are Lonely, had all the
appealing beauty of the music of an
Eolean harp. 1t was such sweet sing
|, ing that reaches down into the heart
and freshens the fairest flowers of the
soul.
Mr.. Pache as Lohengrin was in much
better form than as Tannhauser, and
sang the Swan Song in the most pleas
ing manner, albeit he was faulty in the
dramatic recitatives. The duo with
Elsa was very we'll sung.
Nine. Garso-Dely as Ortrud both
sang and acted the role in admirable
accord with the canons of Wagner,
thoroughly realizing the composers ideal
of graceful dramatic contralto. During
the entire first act, in which she is
silent, the constant play of features and
the speaking gestures required no
Lavater to interpret the story of hate
and jealously revealed.
The duo between Nine. Dely and Mr..
Mertens was masterpiece OF musical
and histrionic art. Mr.. Mertens gath
cred another crown of triumph for his
superb role as Telremund. His vigor-
Gus, rich, resonant tones filled the audi
torium like hurricane in the cave OF
the winds. Mr.. Rubo was surpris ingly
good as the king, especially in his open
ing aria, while Mr.. Kaminski made an
excellent Herald.
On the 9th and up to the 30Sh of
April inclusive, unique entertainment
will be given at the opera house for the
benefit of the Industrial Education
fund. 1t will be called the Kermess,
and will be given by 200 participants.
The idea is to illustrate the character
istic dancers OF each nation in a spec
tacular manner, with gorgeous costumes,
beautiful tableaux, and rich trahsforma-
ton scenes will be presented.
Among other features will be Spanish,
Scotch, Swiss, Russian, Bohemian,
Italian, Hungarian, Hlbernian and Chi
nese dances, besides others entitled the
military, bees and flowers, dew drops,
flower and fairy, fern, mistletoe, mlnuet,
tennis and other dances.
An attractive part of the affair is the
fact that prizes are offered to those who
sell the greatest number of tickets.
These prizes are on exhibition at Bart
lett's music store.
The affair will undoubtedly be great
success and will be found deserving OF
the most generous patronage.
