LADIES, SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA.

The finest entertainment without
question that was ever given in Bel
ding is booked for the Opera House
Saturday night under the auspices OF
the popular lecture course. 1t is com
posed of 20 of the leading lady instru-
mentalists OF Boston. An eastern ex-
change says OF them:
ION Saturday night the Boston
Ladies Symphony Orchestra, com
posed of twenty young ladies, rendered
one of the finest programs OF high-class
music ever heard in this city. The
orchestra proved to be superb orga-
nization, and those present enjoyed an
unusual treat and one that will not
soon be forgotten. The program en-
braced selections from Mendelsshon,
Rossini, Handel, Wagner and other
eminent composers, and all were rem
dered in a most exquisite manner.

When "Our Mutual Friend was
published, a highly laudatory notice of
the book appeared in leading journal,
which was written by Mr.. X, an ac-
quaintanoe OF Dickens and a very clever
man, who has been dead for many
years. Mr.. X. wrote to inform Dickens
of the service which he had rendered
him. and not only did he receive a
grateful, not to say gushing, reply, but
the author was so delighted with the
timely lift which his book had been ia
vored with that he presented the re-
viewer with the manuscript of the
work, which MIR. x afterward, it seems,
sold for e250.
Anthony Trollope had stormy dis
cussioD with Dickens at London din
ner party about the tran saction, assert
ing with characteristic vehemence that
Mr.. X. was wrong TO inform Dickens
that he had written the review; that
Dickens was much to blame for having
taken any notice Of his letter, and that
the gift of the manuscript should Meth
er have been offered nor accepted, as it
was practically bribery and corruption.

thing it may be, after all, for prisoner
