TRAITS AND CHARACTERISTICS.
Mendelssohn was a precocious youth
and not only began composing at II years
Of age, but personally conducted an or
chestra when he was SO small that he
was obliged to stand upon stool in or
der to be seen. AS boyshe was great
favorite with his elders, many amateur
composers meeting him on equal terms,
his amiable disposition winning every
one. His memory was remarkable. On
one occasion, notwithstanding to the over
ture on "a Midsummer NIGHTS Dream"
he was sought by the organist Of St.
Paul's Cathedral, who had carelessly left
the score in hackney coach after the
performance. Mendelssohn thereupon
wrote out another for him from memory
without an error.
Weber was another precocious youth.
H could not walk until he WAS four
years old, but he had learned already to
both sing and play. The trouble with
his walking was congenital disease of
the hin joint, which made him cripple.

the age OF six, on coming into the pres

sprang into her lap and kissed her affec-
tionately. One day he slipped ON the
polished floor and Marie AntoInete lifted
him up.
"You are very kind" he quickly re-
piled. when L grow up will marry

The recent appearance in Hartford of
Stavenhagen and Gerardy, the two noted
musicians, brings to mind Stavenhagen'e
famous teacher, List, and recalls the
intimacy which existed between them
till the death of the great master. The
precociousness of both these musicians
has been spoken of, but if there is one
thing more remarkable than another
about great composers and musicians il
is the suddennesss with which SO many
of them die.

THE DANGEROUS LOBBYIST

In these times of civic reformation
| and demands for decency among politi-
cal prostitutes, another abuse which
has grown to the proportions Of a
real danger, and very expensive one
to the people, that of the legislative
lobbyist is coming i'm for more or
less attention. The lobby has become
an organized force, selfish, greedy, and
corupung. 1t proSpers under bad
laws and in the defeat of good bills.
at the expense of the public The
governor of Missouri has been forced
TO convene the legislature of that state
In extra session on account of the Sic
cessful schemes of professional lob
bylSts in defeating necessary legisla-
ton pending at the regular session of
last winter. Illinois, Arkansas and
other states are loudly complaining
of the damaging presence and admit
ted corruption of legislative lobbys.
Kansas is not an exception. No mea-

about by her voluntary act A wife
should be willing to obey her husband
in all reasonable commands Under
the old English law the husbands
| authority was supreme, and disobe-
dience could be punished by chastise-
ment That is not the law now; but
nevertheless, Il wife must obey a
husbands reasonable commands. The
only exception l know of is where the
wife has all the money and the hus-
band none and he agrees to obey her.
But that is question of money and
has nothing to do with this case.
| 1t is probably true that every wife
is subject servilely subject, to her
husband. Letting the law, and es-
| pecially the old English law out of
| the question, it has been observed
that the legal servant of his majesty.
Mr.. Husband, is feverishly anxious to
bow TO all his reasonable commands
with this exception that she demands.
and also takes, the right to decide what
is reasonable.
The right certainly belongs to every
husband to boss his wife: along with
this long established and legalized
right also goes the valuable privilege
OF consulting her about it before the
bossing begins.
AS Il matter of fact, the modern
divorce court entangled as it is with
a lot of ancient statutes, is sadly out
of joint with the times Woman. as
necessity, knows no law In this age
her desires are uppermost and manda-
tory. Wishing with her is a command.
Some eminent lawyers. among them
Robert Ingersoll maintain that a
woman should have the divorce for the
asking.
The modern woman shall certainly
refuse 10 have any man command her
or any court presided over by man
block her progress.
The sooner the courts learn this, the
better it will be. In the consideration
and adjustment of equities in land
and monies, the modern woman bows
reluctantly to the decision of the law.
In the matter of her marital relations
and privileges Of affection, she sweeps
courts and governments, writs and
statutes aside Indignantly.
The ancients said that when a
woman wills, she will. Among the
ancients she did it on her own hearth.
When she ceases to dread publicity as
a bugabOO she will have no hesitancy
in willing outside the precincts of her
own threshold, all the majesty, aus
terlty and insolent authority of the
law to the contrary Notwithstanding.
For what recourse has the law
against u fit of Mysteries? And what
court i'll refusing divorce to a woman. I
can prevent her from raising a bright |!
variety of sheol, when
she gets her husband home, forcing |
him to accept gladly every right and |
request the court and the law had
denied her?
