MUSIC AND THE DRAMA Manager Todd of the Clunie Opera- Aouse will presently take his stock company "on the road" for a week and a big horse show will occupy the stage of the opera-house. Marie Dressier thus chatters of one line of art methods: "Just a little tight," is a song taken from the old opera of "La, Perichole," in which 1 Played many years ago, and which Miss Russell has often given so successfully. People always liked the and the situation which it marks In the opera is exceedingly taking. La Perichole, as everybody knows, Is an ordinary sort of girl, but full of airy graces, and in her way attractive. A gentleman tries to make love to her, but to his chagrin does not succeed.

Then it occurs to him to make the poor girl tipsy. So he lavishly pours out wine, and with each glass the girl gets just a little more jolly, but never so far forgets herself as to succumb to her companion's fascinations. After all the wine, all that La Perichole Will admit is that she is "just a little tight." I give her expression as she says this. She is making an absurd little grimace, giving her eyes a saucy turn, and has pulled her hat down over one ear just enough to make her look a 11---tle "tough," but fetching. She is a little rogue, and never really gets so tight that she does not know what she is abouL I have been asked how I happened to make so much of the part and the situation, but that is rather hard to tell.

Of course it is my own creation, as all my parts have been. For instance, in "The Lady Slavey" I originated every taking phrase and situation. The play had almost nothing in it when I began to work at it. When "La Perichole" was given to me there was only the mere skeleton of a part which I had to embody in my own conception. Yet I cannot say that I really made a study of it, for I have never done an hour's studying for the stage beyond learning my parts.

If it had been a question of studying the part, of going about and watching tipsy girls and getting their attitudes and expressions, and then spending hours before the glass or with a trainer getting the whole thing up, I should never have done it. That is not my way. I was taken with the part, tried it and made a hit; and that is the whole story. When I went upon the stage and lost myself in the character and the play, realizing, of course, all the time that the audience was watching me, the right expressions, inflections and gestures seemed to come to me of themselves. The New York "Herald" opans its warfare on big hats in these words: "It is the Herald's' purpose to try to persuade women to lay aside their big, I ring hats In the theater.

"It is not proposed to raise a hue i cry on the subject, or even to try to be facetious at woman's expense. It is simply to put the question fairly and scuarely before woman, who Is never ore tractable or more easily persuaded than when approached with respect and admiration. It is not contended that the tall ribboned and feathered hats referred to are not becoming and beautiful. Were the theater only a lawn, the actors trees and the stalls garden hairs, nothing could be lovelier than the sight presented by waving plumes and towering rose bushes and uprising pompons. But unhappily, the theater is a place in which a clear and unobstructed view of the stage is of paramount imijortance.

Without such an open line of vision, the best efforts of the artists, whether of a high or low degree, are lost to the audience." A New Orleans paper, speaking on the big hat topic, recently had this to say. "The high hat law is being very generally observed by the lady patrons of the local theaters. Yesterday afterr.oon during the matinee at the St Charles Theater there was but one woman who defied tne mandate of the Legislature. The hat really did seem out of place in the big audience, composed almost entirely of ladies, all of whom were bare headed, and the big black plume waved vigorously, as if irspired by the deflanceof the wearer. was the hat, and there was tho father, and scores of wondering eyes gazed at the now unusual sight, while every moment it was expected that a Mg policeman would march down the ailse with a copy of the anti-high hat statute.

The policeman didn't put in an appearance, and the hat remained, towering above everything and enjoying a degree of distinction which must have been extremely delightful to the wearer." It is agner, Wagner everywhere. Paris is to add two of his operas to the repertory next season, Mr. Grau will make the "Walkure." "Siegfried," and Tristan" the "star of the New York Season, and the "Allemeine Musik Zeitung" of Berlin says that for the next London season he contemplates a complete Wagner cycle, being already in negotiation with German singers. Mr. i will do well to remember that his predecessor, Harris, who had persona to manage, died of overwork.

In London Mr. Grau will have a rival In the Carl Rosa Company, which is now devoting best energies to the production of agner's operas and music dramas in English versions. The London "Daily News," in a article on the Augustus Harris, said: "He saw there was money in Wagner, and he gave us indeed, as the ins have it. but well enough for our demand." With Jean de Reszke and Seidl at his elbow, Mr. Grau lias now a Chance to give these operas, not only "as the Germans have them," but better, if he will give carte blanche to Mr.

to arrange everything as the Wagneritefl want it. They are nothing if not critical, the Wagnerltes. as Mr. Grau knows to his cost, but if he will please them they will fill his coffers gladly. Whatever may he the literary or dramatic value of the new play which is to open the season at the Drury Lane Theater, London, there is every prospect the performance being a good one.

The hero is to be played by Charles Glenny. and the villain, who is to be depicted In moderate colors, will be played by Mr. Vanderfeldt, who has not been so prominent on the stage lately as his abilities entitle him to be. A third important part has been entrusted to Laurence Cautley, and our old acquaintance, William Elton, just returned from Australia, -will furnish, the low comedy. The veteran Herman Vezin will appear in a minor part and one of the heroines will be enacted by Hilda Spang, a young Australian actress, who is said to be blessed with both beauty and brains.

The well-known English composer and critic F. Corder went to Bayreuth in August last and he was not pleased with the doings of Cosima Wagner, who prides herself particularly on the way she drills the singers to act. "Not to mince words, the singing was vile and the acting rudimentary," says Mr. Corder, and he asks: "Is there no stage manager in Bayreuth who can force these sticks to go through the numerous little bits of stage business so necessary' to fill up the orchestral pauses?" ith the orchestra, on the other hand, Mr. Corder was immensely pleased.

"The sound of the wood is so tender, the tone of the brass so mellowed, and the quality of the strings so rich, that though we have far better players in Covent Garden, we cannot come within measurable distance of the total effect." "There were pianissimos on the strings notably on the six horns for the Tarnhelm only the greatest conductors can obtain." "The sound of the Bayreuth orchestra, and the acoustics of the Bayreuth Opera-house, are so vital to the true effectthat all other performances seem a total misrepresentation of the composer's intention." There are two sentences in Mr. Corder's letter which should he especially commended to the attention of Mr. Grau of New York and London: "The really astonishing scenic triumphs aided the success more than most musicians would believe. 'Rheingold' was lifted from the realms of pantomime to those of poetic drama." Says "Dunlop's Stage News" (New York): Mme. Harielef Darclee, who comes with the gallant Colonel Mapleson, is celebrated as a beautiful woman with a splendid voice.

She is a great dramatic singer and actress and will be no doubt, a dangerous rival to Mme. Calve. She comes here after her most successful career in Italy, Spain and South America, where great artists receive higher salaries than are paid here. If she has not yet sung in London from where all the celebrities come, the reason is that Sir Augustus Harris would never pay her terms, and as late as last spring Mr. Grau offered her an engagement for this season, and she cabled him per performance, which Grau did not accept.

Mme. Giuseprina Huguet is another handsome French woman with a clear high soprano voice who comes with the Colonel. Among the tenors is Signor Durot, a magnificent tenor robusto, with a pure tenor voice and of fine appearance He is not such a consummate artist as Jean de Reszke. but he sung as well The other tenor, Signor de Marchi, has shared honors with Darclee for the last five years. Wiliam Wallace, in the August National Review," says this of Sir Henry Irving'.

"Generous to the verge of profligacy, a student in all things, he has placed himself in a mysterious environment in which he figures in almost a romantic light, and seems to have added to his personality a sublimation of the dominant traits of those great historical characters with whom he has identified himself in his dramatic career Mr. Wallace justly remarks that during the quarter of a century of work of Sir Henry at the Lyceum the theater has become a Mecca, the temple of a special cult, the promised land of countless tribes of devotees, who have filled it from floor to roof, and who have felt again and again that by their presence they have been assisting at high festival; and then he adds: "There is an air about the Lyceum audience like nothing else in the world. Each face is the face of a fervid worshiper who looks upon the rising of the curtain as the rending of a veil which will reveal a great mystery." What wilt the freelances over here, who have so often tilted recklessly against Sir Henry say about this? asks "Dunlop's Stage News." The big hats that are now and for some time have been coming here from Paris and imitated to a prodigious extent were never intended to be worn in theaters. A French or English woman would as soon think of wearing a tin rail on her head. They are made for driving, for the promenade, for lawn parties, receptions, weddings, dinners in anything but the playhouse.

You will see miles of them driving about Hyde Park or the Bois, or lounging about on Bond street or the Champs Elysees, but to wear them by Bight gives one the appearance of not having changed one's clothes all day, as a man looks who goes to the play in his business suit. If a picture hat is inappropriate for evening wear it is obvious that women who wear them are not appropriately dressed. Now, woman's vanity is one of her greatest is, the vanity that always keeps her bien cared for and groomed up to the highest degree of perfection for any particular for instance, her delightfully diaphanous costumes for Newport mornings, her smart tailor-made gown for the horse show, her knowing looking bicycle dress and businesslike golfing cape iind skirt. Would any woman wear one of these to the theater? Maxine Elliott, the most regally beautiful woman on the American stage, has advanced in her profession with remarkable rapidity. She was born in Rockland, and played small parts in E.

S. Willard's company. Then she played in "The Prodigal Daughter," 'Diplomacy," and "A Woman of No Importance," steadily advancing. With Augustin Daly, Miss Elliott made phenomenal progress in her art. She was admirably placed in "The Transit of Leo," as Olivia in Twelfth Night," and Widow Stephenson in "Two Escutcheons." She last appeared in "A House of Cards" at the Fifth-avenue Theater.

She then came to San Francisco and Joined the Frawley Company in June last, and left it for Australia to become leading lady in Nat Goodwin's company, supplanting Blanche Walsh. No class of professionals is more subjected to worries, annoyances, and attacks than musical conductors, but most of them seem to thrive under this regime. Hans Richter and Theodore Thomas are well along in years, but they are as vigorous and energetic as the youngest of their rivals. They are i ere youths, however, compared with old Ben Blise, who conducted an orchestra in Berlin several decades. He has now retired from the profession, but he recently celebrated his eightieth birthday, SACRAMENTO DAILY RECOBD-TjyiON, SUNDAY, OCTOBEB 11, 1896.

in excellent health and in full possession of all his faculties. Coquelin the elder is to return to the Comedie Francaise and the great National Theater of France will possess once more the greatest of French comedians. The result has been brought about by legal process, and denotes the end of a long quarrel, in which not only the dramatic profession in France, but the department of the French Government that Is concerned with the fostering of the Department of Public taken a. lively interest and active participation. M.

Coquelin, after thirty years of service in the House of Moliers, in which, as everybody knows, the chief actors and actresses have a sort of co-operative Interest after a certain term of service, with a retiring pension, became involved in a quarrel with the management. The difficulty, arose over his provincial tours, which, It appears, were undertaken contrary to the terms of his engagement. An Englisman, F. W. Durham, has devised a new system of organ-blowing which will be found useful where a constant water supply cannot be had.

It consists of an ordinary hydraulic engine set in motion by means of oil or water and glycerine, which is drawn from a bank and driven through a force pump by a small gas for oil) engine, the latter being placed at a convenient distance from the organ. The exhaust from the hydraulic engine is carried back again to the bank, thus preventing any waste of the liquid used. No water service or main is required The beauty of Anna Held, who has arrived in New York, is not overestimated. Her features are large and regular, the eyes being most prominent. They are hazel in tint, wide and expressive, with heavy lids and long lashes.

The singer is short and plump, and gifted with much personal magnetism. She speaks English very prettily, and adores diamonds and pearls. Her English song, "Won't You Come and Play With Me?" will be the musical success of the season. Dr. Eduard Hanslick, the indefatigable critic of the "Neve Freie Presse" of Vienna, has published still another volume of musical criticisms.

It is entitled "Funf Jahre Musik." and describes all the new music and important revivals given in Vienna within the last five years, including operas by J. Strauss, Mascagni, Schutt, Brull, Leoncavalio, Cilea, Breton, Mugnone, Giordano, Tasca, Henberger, Smetana. Hummel, Swareglia and Massenet. When E. S.

Wlliard brings us "The Rogues' Comedy" we gather that we shall be regaled with some very clever satires of "smart" London society. Henry Arthur Jones, the author of the play, having been unsparing in the use of the lash, and having paid special attention to the development of the characters of a foolish young lord and a depraved old one. There is a widely circulated rumor in London musical circles that Madame Adelina Patti has written the words and music of a romantic one act opera The little work, it is said, will be first performed privately under the direction of Madame Patti at her Welsh castle. Says "Stage When Miss Nethersole came to Yankeeland she said she came to try her plays over here and go back to "dear old London," and now having failed there she cries out that the British public is "highly Inartistic and unappreciative." Thanks, Olga! Lewis Morrison will present during the coming season a new play called "The Indian," in which he will play a dual role of twin an untutored savage, the other a West Point graduate. Te action of the play takes place in the city of Washington, and at an Indian agency on the frontier.

The bazar in London for the fund for an actor's orphanage was a very successful affair, the profits being more than $10,000. One of the most lucrative devices was the sale of dolls dressed to represent popular actresses in particular characters. One of these brought more than $400. The latest vaudeville recruit is William Pruette, of comic opera fame. He will appear at Heith's Union Square Theater, New York, in a travesty on "Carmen," in which he will have the assistance of Florence de Larsoneur and Marie Bell.

A new novel entitled "Her Foreign Conquest." from the pen of Colonel Richard Henry Savage, has just been issued. It is very dramatic in quality, and has already been placed in the hands of a well-known author for dramatization. Trella Folta-Tolland has retired from the stage temporarily, and is now engaged in journalistic work. She has recently distinguished herself by a number of interesting contributions to the press. The City of Mexico has not only a Philharmonic Society, but two quartet clubs.

The names of the players are all Spanish, but the names on the programmes are nearly all German. There must be a special piquancy in hearing an emotional, fiery Spaniard play Schumann or Schubert. The five best known Italian opera composers of the Mascagni, Leonvavallo. Puccini and Franchetti all at work on new operas. The pictures of Mr.

and Mrs. Arthur Bourchier, who are soon to appear in "The Chili Widow," are the features of the shop windows in New Yor at present. "In Search of Happiness," an English adaptation of a modern Greek play, was produced for the first time in Washington recently by Robert Downing and Eugene Blair. Lillian Russell has made a big hit in "An American Beauty," music by Gus Kerker, book by Hugh Morton. She is managed this year by George Washington Lederer.

There will be but few foreign stars this season flying around the American dramatic circle owing to their winnings last winter, which were not exactly encouragaing. Lord Li, son of Li Hung Chang, who was introduced to Grace Henderson at the Academy of Music, said she was the prettiest woman he had ever seen. A dramatic version of Mrs. Hodgson Burnett's "Lady of Quality" is said to be ready, but there is great difficulty in finding an actress capable of playing the heroine.

Madame Janauschek has been engaged by Stuart Robson to play "Mrs. Ponderbury." Janauschek must be a very old woman by this time. Johnstone Bennett has inaugurated a new idea. She has discharged her maid and hired a French valet, and all New York is talking about it. Katharyn Kidder has written a play chock full of love which she calls "Love and War." A CRUEL ACT.

A flan Leaves Two Children All Day in a Cart. A man drove up to the corner of Seventh and streets yesterday morning about o'clock, having two little children with him on his cart, and tying his horse, went away, leaving them sitting in the cart. The morning wore on and he did not return and when noon came they be.sjan to cry from hunger and loneliness. Dr. Pendery took them to his house and fed them and had the horse taken to the livery stable, sending word to the police station that he had done so.

The man came during the afternoon and took the children home, but unfortunately it was not learned what his name was or where he lived. A DOUBLE FALL An Excursionist's Rough Experience Going to Stockton. A man named McEnerny, who went over to Stockton last evening with the excursionists to attend the Johnson demonstration, fell from the second train when within about four miles of Stockton. He was not missed for some time, and the trainmen of the other trains were told to look out for him, but did not see him as they passed. Then a locomotive and car were sent back and McEnerny was found and taken aboard, but on the way back to Stockton he fell cfr again, and it was reported that he was severely injured.

A BARROOM FIGHT. Tom Cosgrave and Alex Harbinson nix Things at the Tremont. A lively fight was in progress in the barroom of the Tremont Hotel, on street, between Front and Second, when Officers Harlow and Katzenstein arrived there shortly before midnight last night. Alex. Harbinson, one of the proprietors, and Tom Cosgrave, a boarder at the hotel, were rolling about the floor, using both hands and feet in their efforts to put each other out.

One of the most direct, logical and candid of the arguments made to stay the wildness of the free silver craze in the silver producing States, says the Stockton 'Independent," is that of Hon. Henry Kaippenberg of the Great Hecla Consolidated Mines of Montana. He addressed a letter to Hon. C. C.

Hartman, who bolted the St. Douis Convention with Teller, which is not only strong and spirited, but convincing. There is a species of heroism in the manliness of his position which so contrasts with the attitude, so many years, of the timid "bonanza" men of this State, who declined to raise their voice against a drift toward disaster for fear of making themselves unpopular. He wrote a.s follows: I have lived In Montana, sixteen years. My every interest is in stiver mining.

During these sixteen years 1 have furnished the world ounces of silver. I have paid labor, in Beaverhead County, $8,000,000. Notwithstanding all this. I am unalterably opposed to the independent, free and unlimited coinage of silver at Hi to 1, simply because my judgment tells me that it is contrary to history, experience and common sense. lam a Republican.

Do you pie-ad conscience? So do I. Do you plead honesty? So do I. Do you plead love for the workingman? So do by my acts. Do you assert that legislative power can create value? I deny it. The great commercial world knows, recognizes and bows to but one authority; supply and demand.

You say that gold has appreciated, that it has doubled in value; when, then, do vcu insist that the gold dollar shall be reduced to one-half present weight, and announce to the world that it must come to your standard? Then your 10 to 1 would be honest and no man would be cheated in silver dollars. The very fact that you want to double the value of the silver dollar by legislation is a confession that you regard our gold dollar as worth 100 cents. Liet no individual, no American citizen, cheat himself with the delusion that he is a patriot because he may offer his misfortunes as indicative of the need of special laws to fit his particular case. I would scorn that law that would make me the beneficiary of an injustice to another. The man in public position who will permit himself to be swerved from the path of duty to all, by any class, or by any clamor, is an enemy to his country, and especially the enemy (at least) of the very class he serves either as a mistaken or cringing slave.

Speaker Reed recently said in one sentence more than William Jennings Bryan has said in all his and crown" and "cross" speeches. "The silver question is a universal disease, and you cannot cure it by any local application." I am a bimetallism and shall be; but when you dodge and proclaim a new and strange god, 10 to 1, I tell you plainly that to this "Baal" I will not bow the knee. I prefer to follow Elijah, even if the path lead under the "juniper tree" for a season. I prefer to be right, and suffer defeat, rather than be wrong and successful. Have no fears, my dear Hartman.

You as a Democrat-Populist 16 to 1 "sheep" and I as a Republican "goat" will die, but the grand principles of the party of Abraham Lincoln will continue to live and shall triumph in this, our grand America. I am not a "goat." I will not be a "goat." lam an American. lam a Republican, and I raise my voice against any and all attempts at unholy and unrighteous repudiation, now and forever; and because you differ with me in this opinion I will not let you be a "sheep." You shall not be a "sheep," but a man, an American citizen, whim I shall ever respect and love. We are Americans, and "if ever it is a question whether you and I or the flag must perish, you and I will instantly choose that it shall not be the flag." PERSONAL MENTION. J.

Hanna in his smiling, clean-shaven and clear-eyed composure, more apprehensive of an overdrawn sense of security than of alarms, vibrates between the city of commerce and the city of conventions, collected and vigilant as the engineer who manages the engines of a twin-screw steamer, confident that if there is no relaxation in well-doing no tempest can come out of the skies south or east or west to stay the course of the ship safely to the port that the chart and compass tell is right ahead. Mr. Hanna is the new man in politics, the man of affairs of his own. finding time for unofficial business. This is not of evil; there is not a better sign of better things.

Nevada Newspapers Shut Down on Free Advertising. (From the Reno Gazette.) The Carson lias an articlo condemning the Press Association's action at the meeting when Oiey passed a resolution to the effect that no paper of the association should mention any man prof, ssonially when his professional card was not published in one or more papers in the town which ho resides. The resolution is in no manner a blackmailing or bulldozing scheme and no professional man should pay any attention to it if he don't want to.

It was not done to increase the nuc of the papers or to coerce anybody, Professional men have a code of ethics, however. Doctors think it I professional" to let the public know Where they can be found or what hours they will be in their offices. A great many lawyers have a "code of ethics" not to publish their professional cards and to bury their light under a 1, and trust to the press to call public at- to their great efforts for or against a client simply as a matt- of "news." The Press Association decided at its last meeting to adopt a code of ethics of its own, and having done so it illy becomes the "News" tx. denounce it. Much good lias already resulted to the newspaper men of this State by the information of the Press Association, and much more will follow if the papers will work together.

No professional man has any good reason for finding fault with the action of the i Nevada Press Asoeiation for they will grant the association the same rights they reserve for themselves, to adopt a "code of ethics" for the government of newspapers, as long as such code does not interfere with the rights and privileges of any man or class of men. We think if the "News" had taken a second thought it would not have pubiished what it did. The Press Association aims to govern itself in a business way and do nothing undignified, or that smacks of pettyfogging. The press has the interests of the State and the people at heart a much or more than any other class, and has always worked for the upbuilding of the State on all legitimate lines. The resolution spoken of was not adopted to blackmail anyone or any profession; and the "Gazette" is surprised that the "News," usually so fair and correct, should so construe it.

There was nothing in the adoption of the resolution that any professional man in this State need fear or find fault with, if he is fair minded and willing to accord to others the same rights he reserves to himself. WHAT FREE TRADE DOES. The Result in Ireland Will Be the Result Here. (From the Corning- Observer.) An Irishman, a sharp, shrewd and well read gentleman, recently expn his sentiments as follows: "Free? trade has ruined Ireland, beggared its people and driven them into exile. It will do the same by ajiy people who adopt it." Oioville Register.

The Irishman was right. When the agitation was going on in the United Kingdom for the adoption of the free trade laws, the editor of the "Observer" was serving his apprenticeship in Dublin, and was strongly opposed to the free trade bill, as he saw it would completely ruin Ireland. He showed to his fellow-workmen how French and other nations' goods would come in. and kill manufactures. The universal answer was, "But we will get everything much cheaper." At that time the furhat business (the fur was dressed rabbit skins) was good and employed a large number of people; so was gold-beating, fancy boots and shoes for Liverpool and Manchester, high-priced leather for England, lace manufacture in Limerick; poplin, cloth and linen manufacture in Dublin and in the North: glass and other trades.

Well, the free trade bill passed, and in two weeks all the workshops and factories were closed; some few lingered a while. Of course they got everything but no money was to be earned to buy the eh ip gi i da, Idle mechanics then Increased, and they began to emigrate to Other climes. The famine then took hold of the idle and starving nrvnnrirn. and before had emigrated or died. Ireland has never recovered from that free trade blow she ceil For three years America is suffering fiom the same free trade laws, factories and mills closed, half the laborers and mechanics tramping through the nation seeking work, the farmers getting halfpiice for their products, and yet these or sufferers are anxious to put at the head of national affairs an inexperienced young free trader to continue the curse.

Great Scot, how can these ideas exist? Hung the Free Trader. A well-known Washington politician made a trip recently thr ugh Southwestern West Virginia in order to ascertain the sentiment of that section, says the Washington "Star. In Logan County, on Panther Creek, he found an old man whom he Interviewed as follows: "Are the men here taking much Interest in the campaign this year?" "Right smart." "How are they going to vote?" "Agin the Fed'ral cot." "How are they on the money Question?" "Don't know nothin' 'bout it. What they want is ter keep thar lan in the King case. Thet feller King Is arter all th' lan hyar.

Ain't never no money here, an' we don' keer much bout no questions as to it." "How about the tariff "The what?" "Are there any free traders in your district?" "No, I reckon not. Thar was one las' y'ar, but they cotched 'im. He'd been tradin' hosses free all 'round hyar. one mine to a feller down the crick. I foun' it an' we hung the free trader right over yander on thet big poplar.

Probably ninety-nine persons out of every hundred, taken at random, would ridicule the idea that the quality of the glass of which a bottle may be made can have any Influence on the taste or keeping qualities of its contents.

And yet that it does do so we have the best of evidence. We are not alluding to the influence of light shining through the flasks and its action on the substance contained, but the direct chemical reaction occurring between the glass and the material within the flask. Very recently the following case occurred in France: A wealthy retired merchant bought a lot of very costly and rare wine in casks, samples of tho wine from each cask being given him by the wine merchant. The wine was delivered, and the new owner proceeded to have it racked off and bottled. Some time afterward some of the wine was brought to the table, and on tasting it the host detected a strange unpleasant taste, which was also noticed by the guests.

A fresh bottle was found to be similarly affected, and bottle after bottle was opened with the same result. An examination of the stock in the cellar developed the fact that every bottle of the recent purchase was spoiled. A suit was brought against the wine merchant, who declared that he had delivered the article exactly according to the samples furnished. On examining these later they were found in excellent condition. It is unnecessary to go into but during the course of the action at law some of the bottles were produced in court, when it was found that the glass had become opaque.

The bottles were handed over to a chemist, along with one of the lot purchased for bottling the wine, which had never been used. This is what the chemist found in the-glass of the unused bottle: Silicic acid 52.4, potash and soda 4.4, lime 32.1, argillaceous matter, iron, 11.1. In the examination of the bottles that had been used, while the silicic acid and argillaceous material remained constant, or nearly so, the lime, potash and soda were very much diminished, and it was made evident that they had passed into solution, forming compounds with the acid Ingredients of tho wine, decomposing the latter and rendering it unlit to drink. There is now a suit pending against the maker of the Druggist. China was the first country to manufacture harmoniums.
