Rossini's JEALOUSY,

Rossini was intolerably jealous of
all his musical contemporaries, and
particularly of Meyerbeer. In 1895
he heard The Huguenots," and on
listening to the performance from the
beginning to the end he made up his
mind that Meyerbeer had excelled him
and determined to write no more op-
cratic music. He lived until 1868, but
produced nothing for the lyric stage.
His thirty-two years of retirement
were spent in the pleasures of a volup.
tuary. He was particularly fond of
good eating and drinking and as
sembled about him the youngest and
gayest society he could attract to his
house

VICE PRESIDENT KING.
Took the Oath of Office Abroad, Blu,
Did Not Live to Serve.

William Rufus King, born April 6,
1885, died April Is, 1853, was a vice
president of the United States who
never served In that capacity and one
who took the oath Of office on foreign
soil, something which can be said Of
no other executive officer who has ever
been elected by the people of this coun-
try. King was an invalid, but his
friends urged him to take second place
on the ticket with Pierce in 1852.
Both were elected, but Mr.. Kings
health failed so rapidly that he was
forced TO go to Cuba some two months
before Inauguration day. Not having
returned to the United States by
March 4, congress passed a special act
authorizing the United States consul
at Matanzas. Cuba, to swear him in
as vice president at about the hour
when Pierce was taking the oath Of
Office at Washington.
This arrangement was carried out to
a dot, and on the day appointed. at
plantation on one of the highest hills
in the vicinity Of Matanzas, Mr.. King
was made vice president Of the United
States amid the solemn "yaya vol con
Dios" God will be with you) of the
creoles who had assembled to witness
the unique spectacle. Vice President
King returned to his home at Cahaw-
ba, Ala, arriving at that place April
IL, 1853, and died the following day.

Cicero on Wit.

There are witty sayings which car
~ concealed suspicion Of ridicule, OF
which sort is that of the Sicilian who.
when a friend of his made lamentatOn
TO him saying that his wife had hanged
herself upon fig tree said. II beseech
you give me some shoots Of that tree
that l may plant them" OF the same
sort is what Crassus said TO a certain
bad orator who, when he imagined
that he had excited compassion at the
close Of a speech, asked our friend
here after he had sat down whether be
appeared to have raised pity in the
audience. Very great pity" replied
Crassus, ''for l believe that there is no
one here 50 hard hearted but that
your speech seemed pitiable TO him.
