st, Petersburg, April l0.-In keeping
with court official opinion, which holds
that Russia's policy in the Egyptian
question has been forced by overhasty
action on the part Of the French gov

1T was a wrong policy to refuse money

of England's making conquest of the
Soudan for herself with her own money.

La Donna 9 Mobile.

An example of the presentiment of
success occurs in the. account of the
production Of "Rigoletto,'' brought out
at Venice in 1851. It is related that
Verdi, when at work on his opera, re-
fused to fill up certain blank in the
score, alleging, in answer to entreaties
from the singer who was to perform
the missing aria, that there would be
plenty of time to study tit was moth
ing difficult. s
This he continued to repeat until the
actual day fixed for the performance
OF "Rigoletto, when, with much mys-
terry and many precautions against be-
ing overheard, he played the enchant-
ing La Donna Mobile to the mys-
tilted singer. AS the latter was ex-
pressing his delight Verdi cautioned
him strictly on no account to hum or
whistle the catching air before the
evening; the orchestra, he said, had
learned it already and were also under
a solemn vow not to let one note be
heard before the actual performance
why this mystery?" inquired the
puzzled artist.
Because replied Verdi, Il do not
wish all Venice to be singing it before
my opera is brought OUT
Sure enough, the following day '.all
Venice had caught the facile melody
