Singing Under Fire.

From April Blue anu G.ay.l
The Northern and Southern armies
which fought each other during the
Civil War, were noted TOR the hun
dreds of pious men who served as
privat ties and as officers Prayer
meetings. services of sacred song,
and preaching abounded, and some,
times the voice Of the chaplain was
lifted up amid the roar of cannon.
The Rev j w Jones, chaplain IN
the army of Northern Virginia, tells
OF II religious meeting which was
dispersed by the shells OF the Union
army.
General Early's brigade was in
front of Pope's army, and at an in
timatioa .Gatt t1sre <>ogll.i ha-pGeasslii-
lng,-S solid acre OF the boys in
gray, eug ger listeners, gathered. An
artillery drii; was going on across
the Rappahannock, and now and
then the shrek of shell, passing
over the heads of the congregation,
mingled with the service of song.
AS the last hymn before thes rmon
was beiDg surg Il huge rife shell fell
in the centre OF the wOrshippers. 1t
passed between two officers and
buried itself in the ground, throwing
dirt on all around, but did not ex
plode. There was sudden movement
back from the spot, but the leader OF
the singing sang on without falter-
ing. AS the preacher arose, an
officer suggested the suspension OF
the services until the brigade could
be moved under the protection Of an
intervening hill. As the throng
moved away a shell did explode and
killed and wounded five men. After
the services the chaplain went back
to the spot whence they had moved
and found that twenty shells had
fallen and exploded in the space.

Yachting ParasOIs.

Charming parasols for yachting trips
have been recently put upon sale in the
shops. They are to be had in red. blue
and white, and cost $3.50. The top
Is made of grOS grain silk in Que of the
cOlOrs named, but band of white bolt
ing cloth is set upon the edge and reach
ing half of the way up, thus giving a
pretty transparent effect. and yet af-
foTding sufficient shelter from the
SUMS rays. This band OF thin material
is trimmed, at intervals, in th1ee-inch
wide bands of the silk matching the
cover. The top is finished with shir-
red piece around the end of the white
stick.
The painted handle is in the
shepherd crook shape and is decorated
with folded silk bow, from which
hangs white silk tassel.
A lovely red one had the six-inch
band OF boiling cloth in white around it
and three narrow stitched bands in red
upon this white piece matched the TOP.
An all-white one was relieved with
narrow bands of dark blue silk on the
transparent part. The dark blue one
reversed this arrangement, and dis
played white bands stitched upOn wide
border of boiling cloth which matched
the rest of the blue top in shade.
There is no lining to these pretty
affairs. and the ribs are covered with

Ing chair in his private office In Palmer's
theater in New York, busy at his desk.
The composer timidly announced his
errand to the back of the colonel's head.
When the colonel had heard all the
visitor had to say he whirled around OH
his chair, when the following cOnversa-
ton enSued:
Col. McCaull-SO you have written an
opera ?''
Composer-Yes, sir; l have.
Col. McCaull-And it is as good as
FRA Diavolo %
Composer-Yes. sir.
Col. McCaull-Nnw. see here, young
man. Here's nation 400 years old.
with 10000, 900 souls. In all these years,
and from all these people, no composer
has been evolved who could even imi-
tate Fra DiavalO." much less equal or
excel it. Do YOu mean to tell HE that
you are this freak of nature? Why,
you are the eighth wonder OF the world!
COmposer-There's no law against my
being that man, colonel.
Col. McCaull We'll, go home and
lock up that music and study orchestra
ton for ten years. Come back then and
I'll talk to you.
1t may be that the managerial verdict
was too sweeping. Some composition
has been accomplished within the last
few years, but l shall try to point out
what | want in an opera, and at the
same time give an idea of the operate
necessities which as yet have not been
met by any American.
There are three great subdivisions or
classes in the blocking out of an opera,
viz: vocal, accOmpanimental and or
cheStral. In the vocal branch is COM
prised the choice of principals so as to
1aal VOL IN
OF solos, duOS, trloS, QuartetteS or other
forms of ensemble music; the proper,
consistent, Sparing and effective use of
the chorus "a most difficult natter. and,
in word, the ability to merge a given
number of voices into a harmonious
whole. Genius might do this without
experience, but l doubt it. There is a
volume to be said about the tacitura
| (range) of songs. The principals must
not be too heavily burdened in the mat
ter of low and high notes, and scoring for
effective chorus results should be COM
pact as possible. Of course trained opera
singers can vanquish difficulties which
| less skilled singers would find impossi-
BILE; but it is not wise to impose severe
| technical difficulties which will mill
tate againS: the vigor with which simple
! harmony can be rendered. As for
music for my own voice, a composer
should study it closely if he wants TO fit
me. There are certain keys which suits
the nuances in my voice better than
others. Now as for the relative claims
of melody and harmony. Why will
people persist in claiming that har-
mOny is necessarily abstruse and COM
plicated? Melody is harmonious and
harmony is melOdious! Simple music
of an original character lives the long
est and is the rarest seen. Any fool
can write music bristling with har-
monte changes, difficulties and difficult

the state.
Miss Clarke. says the Richmond
Times, was born in Henderson, n. c..
just twenty-one years ago, her father
being a native of that state, and reSid-
ing there up to 1891, when the family
removed to Newport News.
On the maternal side she is Vir-
ginian, her mothers father being Nor
man Southall. member of the we'll
known Virgia family of that name, and
ward of ex-president John Tyler.
She is strikingly handsome woman
both in face and figure, and glance at
her at once suggests Tennyson's Daugh-
ter of the Gods: "Divinely tall, and
most divinely fair"
Her beauty is of a distinct blonde
type. with soft, expressive blue eyes,
and a mouth indicative of sweetness
