Verdi has given up all idea of writ
ing any more operas, but has been en-
gagged for some time on his memoirs,
which will soon be completed. He spoke
about his intention to write such Il
book to a friend several years ago,
explaining that what impelled him to
undertake this task was less the desire
to tell the story of his life than to ex-
plain to the world how he came to
change his operatic principles so COM
pletely in his later period. His atti-
tude toward Wagner, whom he
acknowledges as his superior, will be
specially dwelt on, and his hope is,
he declares, to conciliate his enemies
as well as to please his friends.

The Museum of Ancient Instruments
at Berlin has just come into possession
of highly interesting old Rotte or
Rotta, discovered in the tomb of a
German warrior at Tuttlingen, on the
Danube, by the side of his sword and
spear. The instrument is attributed
by a German savant to the fourth CEN
tury although the date is very likely
too early. The Rotta, "a seven-stringed
instrument plucked by the fingers, or
with a plectrum, was used both as a
church instrument and to accompany
the voice in the Middle Ages, and there
are pictures of it in the ninth century,
although no such old instrument was
believed to be still extant until the
present musical warriors tomb was
found at Tuttlingen.

saying so fairly brought the tears to
my eyes.
This matter, then, being SO we'll set
tied. we addressed ourselves anew to
the business of continuing the voyage.
We had decided, should say here, to
run first for Buenaventura. which Sell
Hnger thought was not much above a
hundred leagues distant. From there,

further voyage in the boatS but we
hoped to light upon some way Of con-
tinuing in a larger craft. Once in one
of the important southern ports, and
we could not fail to find ship sailing
to the Atlantic side of the continent.
The next day and the next passed
without incident, and we continued to
work slowly but steadily south. The
third day something rather important
happened, for the wind, which had
hitherto SO greatly favored us, quite
abruptly changed. 1t was now almost
dead from the southwest, and at once
reduced our speed at least three parts.
In fact, with our shoal keel and high
bow we could make no more than a
knot an hour. This was rather dis
couraging, but the captain said it was
to be anticipated, for we had now come
to the region where there were pre-
vailing southwesterly and southerly
winds, and these, we should find, con-
tinued to the equator. This was more
philosophical than comforting, but we
could do no otherwise than make the
best of it, and so the noon of the third
day drew on. was at the helm, which

Mr.. lynn, who was on the ether side
