What Verdi Proposes.

The success of VerdPs "Falstaff' has led to
a revival of Nicolal's merry Wives of Wind
sor" at Florence. Verdi now says he is too old
to attempt his long-cherlshed project of writing
a score for Lear" ana that "Falsaff'' con-
tains his last nole. An Italian paper gives
synopsis Of Verdps VIII as follows: "He dedi-
Gates his fortune, valued ar something over
100000 francs, to the carrying out of a
noble scheme. After mentioning that he has
no child of bis own ana that he sees no reason
why he should enrich distant relatives, he eX-
presses the desire that his wealth shall benefit
those who have helped him to make ii, namely,
musicians and lyric artists. He has decided,
accordingly, 10 build upon his own properly

200 persons OF both sexes, to be used as a nome

themselves without means al the close OF their
career. Every possible comfort Is 10 be pro-
vtded, not Quitting fifty pianos and proper
