A Useless Life.

What will become of this goddess dis ciple of fashion? What an insult to her sexi Her manners are an outrage upon decenoy. She is more thoughtful of the attitude she strikes upon the carpet than how she will look i'll the judgment, more worried about her freckles than her sins, more interested in her bonnet strings than in her redemption. Her ap- parel is the poorest part of Christian woman, however magnificently dressed, and no one has so much right to dress well as Christian. Not so with the goddess disciple of fashion. Take her robes, and you take everything. Death will come down on her some day, and rub the bistre off her eyelids, and the rouge off her cheeks, and with two rough, bony hands scatter spangles and glass beads and rings and ribbons and lace and brooches and buckles and sashes and frisettes and golden clasps.
 The dying actress whose life had been vicious said: 1.-The scene closes. Draw the curtain" Generally the tragedy comes first and the farce afterward, but ill her life it was first the farce of use- less life and then the tragedy of wretched eternity.

FEASIBLE ENTERPRISE.
Ship Canal to Lake Erie Will Secure
English Capital.


PITTsBURG, Pa, Oct. 10.-The provis-
ional committee of the proposed ship
canal to Lake Erie is in session to con-
slider the report of the engineering COM
mittee. The latter have gone over the
several routes and report that the build
ing of the canal is entirely feasible and
would be of immense value. The COM
mittee could not decide on route but
suggested that an appropriation be made
for the purpose of surveying the several
lines.
Acting on this recommendation the
Chamber of Commerce decided TO at once
issue 100000 in bonds for this purpose,
and 1T is expected there will be very little
delay from now on in pushing the work.
Erie, Pa, and Geneva, Ohio, are both
anxious to have the terminus of the canal
and each offers flattering inducements.
1t is said that English capital is willing
to invest $50, ,OOO, 900 in the scheme.

FRANKLIN SOCIETY.

At the regular meeting OF the Franz Kiln
Society last evening, paper was read by
Herr Hans Schneider on the, "History OF
Music" He explained that il was the sci
ence OF analyZing musical composition to
discover the primitive motifs, which are
the bases OF all musical productions.
There Is in almost every compost
tion the frequent repetition of the
same strain or motif. Many motifs can
be traced back to the time of the Greeks,
and, with varying changes, appear in
works OF the great masters down to our
day. In most cases these strains have a
resemblance to the movements of the
elements, to the sounds OF primitive in
struments, or they are simply audible ex-
pressions Of emotional feelings. Thus as
they appear in the works Of the masters
they are native outcomings from
genius, and are to be repeated by different
authors while the world lasts.
Interesting accounts with illustrations
on the piano were given of the origin of
folk songs as they travelled from country
TO country, always slightly varied. For
instance, the folk songs of Germany be-
come hymn tunes, or they are made
known by sailors to savages in Africa and
by them transformed to appear to travel
ers as real African folk songs.
