Once in the time primeval earth lay bare:
And winds and rains and sunrays fell
Bleak COR on the shrubless hills and hollows
Under sere canopies of shadeless air:
No waving tree-top then uprose to wear

Spilled in the leaf-chaliced trees, rain
cooled the disk glades: strong sunbeams

Softly as moonlight there winds touched

To leaves, and made sweet tunes to time

There gather Natures sprites with minis

strain; it is, in fact, rather an opera
comique than a comic operative
forms of composition not necessarily
alike. Opera comique differs from
grand opera in that the dialogue is
spoken, not sung. The theme and its
elaboration may be wholly serious,

The opera deals with the adventures
of the banished heir of the dukedom

one of his adventures by Francesca,

Milan. who is brought up as a boy,
and is skilled in all manly accomplish

Ing. Francesca is devoted to FOrtuniO,
whom she fears is falling in love with
Fillipa, daughter of the usurpfng duke.
and only betrays her sex when con-
cealment becomes no longer possible.
They fight a duel. FOrtuniO still believ-
ing Francesca to be a man, and it is
then that the truth is known Up to
this time. Fortunio imagine5 himself
in love with F'illipa, but his eyes are
opened to the great love of his COM
rade and the story ends in the conYen-
tional way. This is the story briefly
told. The score Of the opera is bril-
liant and consists principally in pleas
ing and catching waltz music, with
great choruseS and tunefuf solos.
Dorothy Morton, who impersonafes
Francesca, is a beautiful woman, with
a remarkably sweet voice. and is said
to look and act the part admirably.

At the request OF the promoters OF

Hot Springs property have granted an
extension of thirty days, in which the
stock of the recently organized COM

building any castles in the air over
the prospective placing Of the

national board of control of the pro-

Railing is Gambling.

Now that the Christmas holl'
days are approaching, many per
sons will no doubt be interested
in the following opinion deliver
ed by Justice Clark in the case
the State against Nick Roy from
Wake county.
1. "Raffling" is gambling
within the purview OF the Act OF
1891, chapter 20, and the per>
sons getting up the rattle, those
who purchase chances and those
who "throw" the dice, whether
owning a chance or not, are
equally liable as principals.
2. "Shoot for beef" Shooting
at turkeys,) where each partlcl-
pant pays for his "chance," and
progressive euchre parties and
similar entertainments where
the hostess offers prizes are not
"gambling" within the meaning
of the statute, as in the first case
the ownership of the turkey de~
pends upon skill; in the latter
the players cannot lose or bet
nothing.
