What 4. n Hungarian Rhapsody,


You ask about the meanings of the
words "Lassenm and "Friska," as found
in Liszts compositions, the "Rhapsodies
Hongroise." The foundation of these
compositions is the Hungarian dance
"Czardas." These melodies were invented
by gipsies, but have become the national
dances of the Hungsrians. The Gear
das" las dsnce) begins with a slow move
ment, expressions of melancholy, inter-
rupted by outbursts of energy, soon
changed to depression again. This first
part of the dance is called the Lassen. It
is simply an introduction to the Friska,
the rapid and principal part of the dance,
which ends in the widest and most thrill
ing velocity. Furthermore:
'Friska" is the same as the German
s'Frisch," or italian "Fresco," meaning
fresh or lively. 1t is employed to indicate
the places where there is q much livelier
tempo. "Lassen" is defined above.
Now, as to the structure of the "Rhap-
sodies Hongroise" and Liszt's ideas, my
reply is this: In the sixteen Hungarian

The defenders of the Big Four are vocif-
erously asserting that it had a Fright" un-
der the charter to make such removals and
appointments as it pleased, and that there
fore it has done no wrong. This is plaus-
ible reasoning until it is looked at. If it is
entirely sound the Big Four would have a
right to remove faithful and efficient Off
GERS and appoint in their places officers
who, whether fit or unfit to do their Off
cial work, would be faithful to the Big
Four and efficient in its service. Now
does any good citizen really suppose that
the somewhat looselyworded part of the
charter upon which the Big Four and it's
advocates are relying can fairly be used to
support ring rule and gross misuse of
poweri Does it mean that Big Four,
which finds it convenient, in the growth
of its conspiracy against the public well
fare, to summarily, and without notice
or explanation, turn out three of the most
valuable and experienced officers a city
ever had, can rely upon it for support and

able protest of the citizensa No. 1t does
not invite or sanction any violation of the
plain obligations of those chosen to attend
to public business as members of the
Board of Public Works. 1t does not mean
that they have a right to misuse their
power to the detriment of the city's in
terest. No charter provision, even more
loosely made than this, would be any valid
excuse for such misdeed as is now COM
planned of in New Haven. And no man
intent upon the public good, and that
alone, would offer any such excuse. In
short, nobody has any fright" to do wrong.
But even the defenders of the Big Four
will have to admit that the people have
both legal and a moral right to rise up in
warm protest, as they have, and that the
aldermen have right to rebuke the Big
Four if they see fit.

Bird. aud AnimaI. Hypno,ized.


take this cock, and I repeat on it what
is known as to experimentum mirabile of
Kircheri: il is fresh from the bsrnyard,
and a very pugnacious animal. IL i hold
it, it struggles and screams; but have
only to place it quietly and firmly on this
board, and draw a chalk line from its beak,
which have depressed, until it touches
the board. and it remains, as you see,
firmly hypnoized. 1t is motionless. or as
people would say, fascinated; and 1t will
remain in this position for an indefnite
time take this rabbit and adjust it on
its back in this little trough, which is only
used to prevent it from falling over, and IL
also becomes rapidly hypnotized. The
same thing happens with a guinea pig or a
| frog, or even with Young alligator. The
limbs are plastic, can be moved In any di.
rection, can stay in the position in which
they are placed. So, also, with a number
| of other animals, such "a birds and cray.
| fish. Hsrting states that If this expert
| ment be frequently repeated with a fowl II
will often become permanently pAralyzed
in some of its limbs. II take up the
| hypnotized rabbit or lift the cock they al
hypnotic into their natural state. Posi-
ton, tactile impression. are the means
used here to produce hypnotism. and pos.
| sibly also mental impression. Visual i'm
preston produces similar effects. Richie,
has produced similar effects with lime
| light to those which Charcot produces on
his hypnotic, cataleptic and hysterical pa.
tients.
Horses are very susceptible to hypno-
tization by standing in front of them, so
that they have TO look at you fredly.
| This practice was introduced into use in
| Austria by a cavalry officer, Bslsssa. Il
| is called after him, the Balsssiren of
| horses, and according to Moll 1t has been
introduced by law into Austria for the
shoeing of horses in the army. Rabbits,
when they are introduced into the cage
| of snake, what is called fsscinate them
selves by staring at it. The process ID
commonly spoken of as though it were
an active proceeding on the part of the
snake which fascinstes them. They are
self fascinated, and, ss We saw in the
case of our hypnotic patients, q mechan.
ical means of impressing their senses
suffices, and it is quite grstnitous to i'm.
port any sort of vital force or living fas-
cinating influence on the part either OF
the snake or of the willy stage performer.

Archbishop Ireland, of Minnesota, who
is about to be made cardinal, was born in
Kilkenny, Ireland, and came to this coun-
try in 1S49, when he was eleven years of
age. Part of his clerical education was
received in France. he was chaplain of a
Minnesota regiment during the civil war,
and has been foremost in temperance
work in the State in which he resides. AS
a pulpit orator he has few equals his
election to the See of st. Paul occurred in
1884. Not only is he prominent in eecle-

He is the president of the Minnesota His

United States Historical Society.
"Of making many books there is no
end" The Publishers Weekly has been
summing up the results of last years pub
fishing business, and finds that during the
year 1891 there were 4, ,665 books published
in the United States, the changing chsrae-
ter of which, as compared with former
years, gives an interesting hint as to the
trend of the reading public's taste, since
the publishers work is a very faithful re-
Election of the likes and dislikes of those
on whom he depends for patronage. Fic-
ton appears to hold its own in the num-
ber of novels published, while there is q
notable increase in the public call for
books of "heavier" calibre. This increase
is shown in the line of history, education
and language and also in books of relig-
ious nature. 1t is worth noting that books
for young people are being issued in in
creasing numbers.
A good story is going the rounds con-
cerning Mr. L, clergyman who had &C
cepted an invitation to talk to the patients
of an insane asylum. In his address he
said he tried to talk on subjects they could
grasp readily, using language that was
simple. One os the subjects treated was
that of the mothers who threw their chill
dren into the Ganges, thinking they were
appeasing the wrath of the gods. During
his talk abou. this Mr.. L noticed one
of his congregation, a man, who had his
eyes riveted upon him. The mans face
was study. His attitude was 70 direct
and SO fiendish that it annoyed the speaker.
After the discourse Mr.. L. went among
the patients He met the man with the
glaring eyes and took his hand. The min
lister told him he had noticed his close at
tention to some portions of the sermon. 81

particularly interested when 1 spoke about

EnrII.h sporting parsons.


lFrom the Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic
Seusl
Sir Edward Clarke has many claims TO
distinction; but, 80 far as we know, the
learned lawyer has never busted himself
about sport, or professed any leaning to-
wards any form of 1t. In speaking the
other day against Mr. Samuel Smiths mo-
ton for the disestablishment of the church
in Wales, Sir Edward is reported to have
congratulated himself and his hearers that
the sporting and gambling parsons had
been ''got nd Of" Something, of course,
depends upon what Sir Edward meant by
the words sporting and gambling" bu,
we should be inclined 10 say that the race
is not yet extinct. Some tolsrably recent
revelations have shown that, either from
love of sport, a love of money, or both,
sundry cleryymen continue to take real
or simulated interest in the turf, and rath-
er unwisely utilize their own money, and
occasionally that of other people, in back
ing their fancy.
Inasmuch as people are to be found to
declare that hunting is a cruel and brutal
izing amusement even for q layman, one
need not be surprised that come folks OBJ
ject to seeing a parson in the hunting
field. In general opinion, however, a
clergyman can come out to enjoy himself
without in any way losing caste; and at
the present time men of all shades of the
illogical opinion are found taking their
pleasure in some country or other. A
considerable number of clergymsn are
sons of country gentlemen, and in their
earlier days have been accustomed to coun-
try life in all its phases. Should they
have been at Oxford or Cambridge, any
taste for hunting they may be possessed
of must inevitably be fostered by some
one or other of the professors round
about; and what is more natural than that
they should, on finding themselves in Q
country parish, now and then, according
10 their leisure and their means, follow the
local packi
are SO small and so neglected as to make
the clergyman's post a sinecure. He is
commonly secretary. chairman or manager
of every organization in the parish; and
in the majority of instances his work is
sufficiently hard to entitle him to some
more exciting kind of recreation thsn an
simless walk. Nor, We venture to think,
does the fact of the parish clergyman go
ing ont with his hounds, or being a good
shot, lessen his influence over his flock:
indeed, it usually tends to increase the re-
spect felt for him; for the countrymsn is
more prone to believe in man who knowi
something about the country and its pur.
suits than in one who, though the embodi-
ment of all that is good and clever, is ig.
norant of everything that comes by ma
ture to the dweller in the country. John
Leech's sketch of the hunting parson ly-
ing in a ditch, and passer-by saying that
he would not be wanted till next Sunday
would not be true of the cleric of to-day
yet nothing, SO far as can be seen, hai
since transpired to make the hunting field
a less fit place for the parish clergyman
than il used to be.

A SIGN OF THE TIMES.

There are some signs OF the times"
which indicate that notwithstanding the
apparent success and invincibility of low
and vicious politics in this country, re-
bellion is at hand which will purify things
instance, the action of the Association of
the Bar of the City of New York in the
case of Judge Isaac H. Maynard, appointed
to the bench of the Court of Appeals by
Governor Hill as q reward for his share
(by the abstraction from the controllers
Office of the Dutchess county returns) in
the theft of the State senate. The report
of the committee appointed to consider the
case was made to and adopted by such an
assembly of members of the Bar associa-
ton as has not often been seen. The COM
mittee characterize JudgeMaynard's offense
in suppressing the true return from Dutch
ess county and securing the use of re-
turn which the court had pronounced to
be illegal as zone of the gravest known to
the law" 1t finds that he committed the
offense with full knowledge of the facts
and with deliberation, and declares that it
disclosed clear unfitness for high judi
cial station" And in reference to his plea
that he was not responsible for the action
of the State board, because his duty as
counsel to the board had ceased before it
was taken, the report says that che could
not be Invested of responsibility; he saw
the Board OF State Canvsssers violating
the law and issuing false certificate upon
false return, and making his act in re-
moving the true return the pretext for
their action, and he cannot evade just re-
sponsibility by saying that his relations to
the case had ceased"
The committee does not find that the Bar
association itself can take any action of its
own in the matter, and as the offense was
committed before Judge Maynard was ele,
vated to the bench it does not furnish
grounds for his impeachment. But the
committee regards his action as suficien:
cause for removal from the bench by the
legislature, and offered resolution direct
ing the attention of that body to the fact
in a pointed manner. By this action the
Bar association frees itself from taint and
renders an important public service.
There have been no signs that Judge May
nard is very thin skinned, but it is diff
cult to see how he can continue to e1ercis,
judicial functions with the condemnation
| of the Bar association upon him.

er trashy or sensational to q detrimental
degree. They are genre pictures of the
peculiar life and temperament of Hunea-
risns and gipsies. The two races, though
not identical, are often confused in the
public Imagination. The one are a sery.
impetuous, semi-barbarous, Oriental pso-
pie, and as to the gipsies, though they
wander through Hungary and Spain and
England, and are known all over the world

they originated, though many suppose
that they are the remnants Of the old
Egyptian race. To comprehend iszt's
Hungarian Rhapsodies" you must irsi
study the Hungarian people, and know
something of the picturesque habits of the
gipsies. The structure of q Hungarian
rhapsody is, in brief. this: First broad.
slow introduction, in rubato time, then q
quicker movement, purely lyrical, but
short. After this q passage In much
quicker tempo, bringing in some dainty
song, like dance melody, and generally
at the top Of the piano, where 10 has pc.
culiAr tinkling effect, like bells or tam
bourines. Later on there are short, htful
digressions into lAnguid melancholy and
lyrical sadness. but In all gathers together
and closes with a vehement, furious dance,
expressing either wild hilarity or q savage
passion. The impetuous and frequent
changes from one key to another, from one
rhythm to another. from one melody 10
another, has caused some pedants of mu-
sical anatomy to call them "medleys," and
TO deny them the dignifed name of com.
positions, but this 10 sheer narrow-mind.

melodies of very captivating character and
of . good contour. They are nearly al
ways peoples songs," Hungarian or eip.
sy, and these themes are treated often
with great originality, especially as to the
rhythm They return At suitable inter.
walls and are interviewer with ingenuity.
Now, If all this does not constitute an in.
telligent and imaginative composition,
what does, prayl You must play q Hun
garian rhapsody with abrupt changes and
a wide range of emotions, from dreamy
sadness to vehement anger, from frolick-
some gayety TO martial and heroic pomp.
