He was a drummer, and had taken the precaution to bring his instrument. Ros- sizzi said he would hear him “p1; zy,” and it was ducidcd that he should Show ofi in the manure to “Scmimmidc. ” The very (in-t bar of tho ovurturw contains a tremolo {or the drum, and when this had been pct. tormc:., the player remarked, “Now I have a rest of 73 L1. rs; those, of course, I will ski p." This was too good a chance to be lost. "Oh, no,” said the composcr; “by all means count the 73 bars. I particular- ly wish to hezm those.” 7 Some of these anecdotes of Rossini re- mind us that composers, as a rule, have no: figured umiably as critics of each other. Handel swore that Gluck know no CI‘ 1.3 801' more about counterpoint than his cook; ‘E‘e‘cor pronounced Beethoven a madnggn, anon Haydn said of 1). br omcr musician that 'he played the fiddle like u hog. ” Liszt was 33mg" la'i'i) severe upon follow art- .sts. Sou; cone " was once play iii?7 to him a composition ho evidently did not care for. “What is that?" he asked. "It is Bennett’s ‘hlaid of Orleans’ sonata,” was the reply. “All,” said the virtuoso, “what :2 pity that the original manuscript did not meet with the same fate as Joan!" In this connection a good story is told of the late Victor Massc. He was informed one day that a rival composer took every opportu- nity of declaring that his (Masse’s) music was execrable. “He maintains I have no talent,” s:.ic.2.1asse; “I always declare he has plenty. We both know we lie.” But perhaps better than this was the opinion of Wagner expressed by Offenbach. Wag- nor had just published his “Rienzi,” and off went a copy to Offenbach, with a re- quest that he would say what he thought or it. Now Offenbach had previously read some of Wagner's [poems and had made fun of them, a circumstance well known to Wagner. After some three weeks the score of “Rienzi” was returned to its com- poser with a slip on which was written, “Dear Wagner, your music is trash; stick to poetry.” This of course enraged Wagner greatly, and some months later he was out with one of his celebrated brochures de- nouncing the Jews. It was a fine opportu- nity for revengeâ€" Ofi'enbach being on Is- raeliteâ€"and the brochure was in the hands of Ofienbach in no time. Two days elapsed, and Wagner had the pamphlet back. W hen he opened it, this is what he found written on the front page, “Dear Wagner, your brochure is rot; stick to music.’ Haydn was a. great admirer of the fair sex, and some of his prettiest things were said about women. One specimen must suffice. Tho celebrated Mrs. Billington was a great friend of his, and Sir Joshua Reynolds had painted her portrait. Haydn went to see the picture when it was fin- ishcd. “Yes,” he said to the artist, “it is very good. But you have made one mis- take. You have painted Mrs. Biliington listening to the angels. whereas the angels vliouial be listening to her.” Berlioz, the eminent French composer, hada caustic wit. He could not endure Bach, and he used to call Handel “a big hog,” a. “musician of the stomach.” l‘or this he was paid out by Mendelssohn, who declared that after touching a score of Berlioz soap and hot water were nae-ces- n‘ary. Berlioz, hOWever, had his musical hero, and that hero was Beethoven. Touch Beethoven irreverently and his ire was kindled. There is a certain passage for the double bosses in one of the master’s scores which was at one time believed to bealmost impossible of execution. Now Habeneck conducted a performance of this work in Paris, and gave the passage in question to the cellos. Berlioz, who was aresent, met Habeneck soon after, and asked him when he meant to give the pas- sage as Beethoven in vczzded it to be given. “Never as long as I live,” said Habeneck. “Well, we’ll wait,” raplied ‘ Berlioz. “Don’t let it: be long.” Speaking of Beethoven, that master’s humor was rather of the grim kind, re- sembling more the satire of Carlyle than anything else. The composer’s brother had a littlo property of his own, and was very proud of it. One day he called on Beethoven and left a. card inscribed, “Jo- hann Van Beethoven, land proprietor." Next day he had it returned to him, Writ- ten on the back, “L. Van Beethoven, brain proprietor. "â€"Chum bers’ Journal. Mata-icnlnte means to enroll oneself un- dera motfier.

The Man Who Claims the Honor of Blow- ing the Call For the Charge Living In Denverâ€"Another Added to the Many Ac- counts of That Awful Blunder. Though Alexander Sutherland, who is living in retirement in Denver, is 87 years old, his memory is still keen, and he do- lights in relating again and again the part he took in the famous charge of the Light brigade. There may be other survivors of that desperate race down the valley be- tween hills bristling with guns, but Alex- ander Sutherland insists upon being cred- ited with the honor of blowing the bugle that started the Light; brigade upon its ill fated mission. “The 600 men who were selected for this charge.” said he, “were divided into three platoons, two companies to each platoon. Each company had its own bu- glor, making six in all. As Iwas with Lord Cardigan in the first platoon, I was theflrst bugler to receive his orders. I sounded the charge of that eventful day, and, following my bugle, the others re- peated the call. We had been idle specte- tors of the general engagement that day and were waiting for orders from Lord Raglan. The order came after a time. It was to Lord Lucan to order up about 600 light cavalry and hold them in readiness to take the guns which the Turks had lost on Causeway heights. Lord Lucan await- ed support from the infantry before ud- vuncing. A second order came from Lord Raglan, brought by Captain Nolzm, di- recting the cavalryto charge to prevent the Turks carrying away their guns. Lord Lucan asked what guns to attack, and Captain Nolan replied: “ ‘There, my lord, is your enemy, and there are your guns,’ pointing with his hand to the left; and toward the enduf North valley, and not; toward the Cnusv- way height-s. “Lord Lucnn then rode over to Lord Cardigan to give orders for the charge. I was near by on foot, holding my horse‘s bridlo rain, and heard the conversation between Lord Lucan and Lord Cardigan. They did not seem to interpret the order of Lord Raglan in the same way. Lgrd Cardigan explained to Lord Lfiéén that there were buns in the valley aheadas W011 as on both sides of us, and he thought that there must ho some mistake, but Lord Lu- c_:m ropliod that that was the order of Lord Rnglah, and {Lore was no choice but to obey. “Lord Cardigan assented. I was about eight or ten feet; distant from him, and. turning, he gave me the first order. I blew ‘attention’ and then ‘mount.’ The first, second and third platoons were formed, and then, facing his men, Lord Cardigan briefly addressed them, telling them of the dangers of the charge and the probability of death to all. The mun cheered him vigorously. Turning to me he said, ‘Trumpctor, sound the forward!’ and we set ofi‘ at a fast walk. A little lut- cr, turning his head, Lord Cardigan shouted, ‘Trumpcter, sound the trot!’ and I blow the call. “ We swept directly down the valley with the Causeway heights on the right and the Fedioukine hills on the left, and for a. distance of 1% miles we had guns on three sides of us. While we were still on the trot Captain Nolan was seen riding at furious speed across our front 3nd bearing his course to the right. He 'was waving his sword and shouting to our command. His words we could not hear distinctly, but we afterward knew that he was trying to correct the blunder. Lord Qardigmi shouted out, ‘In God’s name, what is that man doing there?’ Seize one in the mid- dle platoon shouted back, ‘Your lordship. I think he wants you to charge toward the Causeway helghts.’ ‘It is too late to change now,’ said Lord Cardigan, ‘for we are too near the enemy.’ Then turning in the saddle he shouted to me, ‘Trumpctcr, sound the charge!’ I blew the blast and was swept like a whirlwind down the val- loy. “It was the first shell, I think, that was fired that exploded _somc distance in front of Lord Cardigan, and a piece of that shell struck Gupta: in Nolan, tearingn great hole in his left side. His horse, at once missing the guiding hand, turned to form with our advancing platoons. Captain Nolan still held his sword aloft, and he uttered a shriek that made us shudder. Then he wavered in his seat and fell to the ground near our charging column. “It was no time to think. Ifollowed close to Loro Cardigan, who rode ahead, turning often to urge his men forward. When We finally reached the enemy, so that we could return some of the blows, the men were lost to any sense of fear. The smoke became so thick that Ilost sight of Lord Cardigan, but I could hear his voice shouting encouragment to his men. Running against a Russian artil- lcryman I struck him with my saber, but the stroke was short. and he came at me with a ramner. My horse was plunging ahead, and before we couid fight out our duel I was carried beyond the battery and among the Cossacks. A oavalryman made a lunge at me, but I parried the thrust. The smoke was so thick that objects were indistinct. “I was trying tofind Lord Cardigan. so as to be near to receive his orders. For a time this was impossible. Finally I heard his voice shouting to his men to full back. and at the same time I saw the white hind leg of the horse he rode. I lifted the bugle to my lips and tried to sound the retreat, but my horse was plunging madly about and I could scarce- ly play the notes. I was slightly wounded in each leg and was week from loss of blood, and my horse was suffering more than I. The blast from my bugle indicat- ed to the Russians my position, and as I again attempted to sound the call a shot tore away the bell of my instrument. At the same time 1 received a lance thrust on my head. Dazed by the blow, I fell for- ward, clasped my horse about the neck, and scarcely realized what was passing. My horse followed the troopers moving away in small squads through the dense smoke, and somewhere near where Cap- tain Nolan's body lay the animal fell dead. Ihobbled back to our place of starting. At the roll call, out o! 678 men only 195 were left alive, and many were wounded so badly that they died afterward.”â€"Den- ver Cor. New York Sun.

Uncooked Rice For the Complexion. IN W hen it has been reported to his majesty that; some of his subjects have given their lives in time of flood or earthquake to preserve his majesty’s picture, he has been much touched, but he is anxious to dis- courage his subjects from such Quixotism, and to preserve them from any but neces~ snry danger.

The Senna of Touch. The question has been asked, “Which of our senses is most capable of improve- ment?" An English scientist says prob- ably the sense of touch. ‘ . trictly speaking the senses are capable rather of alteration and specialization than of improvement. For instance, those who have much to do in the open air become immensely long sighted, but this is ab- normal, and the increased superiority in one direction is lost. by inferiority in an- other. Some Truth In Tint. “look at this, will you?” exclaimed the real estate and house running optimist. ‘ ‘ In this paper thcrb is a record of 87 marriage licenses issued yesterday. ” His majesty is fond of reading books and nowspuvers. He is especially fond 01" German books. He likes to compose Jup- ancse poems, which he can do very read- ily. His ability in that. respect is much admired by his attendants. But there are many trades which afford abundant evidence that the sense of touch, at any rate in certain directions, can be largely developed. For instance, the con- noisseur of china relies much more on an almost; imperceptible difference of feeling in the texture than on his eyes to discover the genuinencss of any piece. On the other hand, the cause of smell and the sense of taste are each of them blunted and R359 their fine:- perception if the same object unequefltly presanted to them. In every case, however, it is not the general sense or touch that) in im- proved, but a s 001111 excellence of tho scumâ€"New Yor Ledger. At the beginning of Matsukata’s cab- inet, parliament decided to reduce the sal- aries of the cabinet ministers and other government officers. The prime minister, Count Matsnkatu, addressed his majesty about it. His majesty did not; consent, and he said: “Many ofiicers cannot live upon a fixed sulux‘y. Some. cabinet minis- ters have been obliged to borrow money, and I have advanced money from my treasury to support; them. If the present cabinet ministers retain their positions: by borrowing money, all cabinet ministers therefore ezm do so. Therefore I cannot consent to the reduction of salaries.” His majesty was not inclined to see him again, and sent an attendant to say to him: "I have already commanded abour, the reduction of salaries. I cannot see you any nior. Thé‘su cries were therefore not reduced His majesty understands the condition of the lower classes, and fumiliarizes him- self with the private oonducp of the cab- inet ministers. When he reads newspaper articles relating to the private misconduct of any cabinet ministers and uttucking him, his majesty sometimes 51: files. His majesty dislikes all pretense and hypocrisy. The blind beggar can very soon discern between diflerent metals merely by the sense of touch, and, in fact, the education of the blind aflorde a remarkable instance of the development of this sense. In cer- tain manufactures the skilled workman knows entirely by this sense when a. mix- ture has reached the proper degree of solid- ity or a material ie of the right texture, and he receives very his}: wages by virtue of this sense alone. “Well, what of in?” said his partner, the pessimist of the firm, who was leaning back in a chair with his hat pulled down over his eyes. “What of it?” echoed the other. “Can’t, you see? Those 8? marriage licenses mean 87 marriages. The 87 marriages will lead to 87 inquiries for houses, flats, or at least eligible apartments. It’s bound to stimu- late business in our line, and we’ll gee our share.” If}: Majesty's Methods of Dealing With Ministers and People. The mikado’s daily customs 9.?" very regular.

However, the cabinet once more debated the question with the count, and Matsukata went again to consult the em- pcror. “ That doesn’t follow at all.
