VCIssITUDEs OF LIFE.
Sequel to an Experience of Struggling
 Young Author.

1ouuS AutnOT.
 You remember my telling you awhile ago, when we were talking about the vicissitudes of life" said strug- gllng young author, according to the New York Sun, about an experience that I had once? I had a, number of manuscripts, you remember, which I desired to sell and which I sent out to the publications I thought them best suited for. One after another they came back, until they had all come back but one. That one, in my own judgment, was much the best of the lot, and I had built strong hopes upon it; and when. 50 to speak, it still didn't come back. I felt sure that it had been accepted. But after waiting awhile longer and not hearing from it, wrote, asking about it, and the publisher wrote me polite note saying they had no record of it; it had never been received.
 That was the story as I told it to you, and supposed that that was the end of it; and it was pretty tough, wasn't it? But now let me tell you the sequel.
 Of course I wrote polite note in reply to the publisher; and in that note I described the manuscript and said that perhaps it might yet be found; and later it was found, and, by snakes, they returned it!
 That was solemn; but it was one of those things that are so everlasting1y gosh-blastedly solemn that you have to laugh over 'em; and there can't be anything very terrible in anything that you can laugh over; so, you see, come to take it altogether, that experience was not very distressing after all." {,

Pure Fooo and Drink.
 Unpatriotic!

A. Schilling & Company of San Francisco are helping Japan sell more good tea in the United States. They are using their best efforts to stop the use of cheap tea. This is directly opposed to the in- terests of American tea-ship- pers and tea-colorers in Japan.
 Isn't 1t mean to interfere with their enterprise? Really you ought to drink nothing but colored tea-and, for that matter, why not drink your Prussian blue and plumbago pure?
 Or pure tea ?-Schilllxgs Best, money-back tea, at your grocer's.

LONDON COMMENT.

LONDON, July 15.-The Chronicle says: "The Chicago convention has justified the expectations of it's worst enemies. Nobody could have foreseen such a speedy and open voicing of the ennity of the west and south against the east. The financial condition of Argentia and of Greece is a paradise compared with what would be the con dition of the United States should the free silver party come into office. If so colossal a catastrophe as the cleo tion of silver president should oc- cur, America would be brought face to

A CHICKENS BITE.
It Caused Peddler's Death Through
 Blood Poisoning.

OAKLAND, Cal, July 15-Barnard Mattaran, an old peddler of this city, died yesterday from. blood poisoning, the effects of bite by a chicken a week ago. While handling the fowl the latter bit the old man on the hand, drawing the blood. He thought noth- ing of it at the time, but his hand and then his arm began to swell up.
 Too late the peddIer consulted a physician. Nothing could be done to save him. He lived at the corner of Second and Franklin streets, and was a native of France, aged 70 years. He was we'll known in this city, where he had lived for eighteen years.

MOST PECULIAR ROOSTER.
He Very Much Resembles a Bird of Par
 adise.

He very Much Resembles B1fQ or Par
 adise.
 To see a rooster that resembles a bird of paradise is rare sight, but such a one has recently been a common spec tacle in Japan, says the New York World. e.
 This particular fowl was, apart from his gorgeous appendage, of the ordinary type found in Japan, except that he was little more proud in his bearing than his fellows. C nt3ss f>
 It may have been his manner that first led to his selection as the bearer of a most magnificent tail. The brief history that can be obtained of this freak rooster is silent on that point. It prob ably was selected because only an arro- gant, lordly manner could support such awonderful and variegated appendage.
 Ee thatas it may, the rooster did cer- tainly lave a taa 16 feet long. In it were all the bright colors imaginable. The tail was far more brilliant in it's color ings than the shining feather-fan of d peacock. M Gc
 The neighbors of the Jap displayed no interest in the freak bird, but were amused by these who expressed admira- fion and wonder, who were invariably foreign travellers.
 Then 1t was discovered that the beau tiful long tail was not freak of nature, but the clever work of the ingenious Jap, who had fashioned and fastened the tail in such way as to defy detection except after the most minute scrutiny.

An USEMENTS.
The Philharmonic SoeIetyss Last Public
Rehearsal This Season.


The sixth and last public rehearsal and con-
cert of the hfty-fourth year of its life was given
by the Philharmonic Society on Friday and
Saturday Of last week. The programme was an
essentially heavy and serious one, beginning
with the "Prelude and Glorifcation' from
"Parsifal." and ending with Beethoven's Ninth
Symphony. Between these two numbers came
q religious song from king Saul" by Hubert
Parry. sung by Mr.. Ffrangcon Davies, and two
part songs sung by the Rubinstein and Apollo
clubs under the direction of Mr.. William
Chapman.
These clubs also took part In the choral SYM
phony, doing smoothly efficient work. which
can be accredited also to the soloists, Nine. de
We're Sapio. Mrs. Alves, Mr.. RieEer. and Mr..
Davies. The extreme difficulties OF this vastly
respected composition were ably met and con-
quered by the Philharmonic Orchestra. The
performance of the symphony celebrated the
fftieth year since its first performance on My
go, 1s46. under the direction of Mr.. George
Loder. when it was produced at an extra con-
cert given by this society in Castle Garden,
for the benefit of a Philharmonic Hall fund.
Since then this symphony has been repeated as
follows: Feb: /, 1865; Mr.. Carl Bergman.
rosch. conductor; Feb. 12. issi. Mir. Theodore
Thomas, conductor: April 10. 1889. MIR. Theo-
Theodore Thomas. conductor; April %, 1862,
MIR. Anton Seidl, conductor.
Mr.. Ffrangcon Davies made his first appear
ance in New York on this occasion. His singing
is distinguished by u careful method of tho
most truly English type and a fiIe pronuncia-
ton. though his voice is Of not more than or
binary strength nor possessed of any peculiar
charm. Mr.. Davies gave out the lines OF his
aria, however. with admirable dramatic force,
making all the chief points anil climaxes with

The "Parsifal" music came like a benedic-
tion upon the audience, and as far rs enjoyment
is concerned the programme would have been
better arranged with the sy mphony at the COM
mencement OF the concert and the exquisite
peace OF "Parsifals =" pure strains at the last.
The entertainment. as It stood, was a most de-
pressing one, the Hymn to JOY " sounding much
more Ike a eulogy OF woe than a glad pgan.
The Choral symphony" should never be done
with less than two hundred voices In the chorus.
and these should shout with full voices and. II
possible. glad hearts. In order to make Beeth-
ovens music properly effective.
