The .New York Commercial Advertiser it pleased to say of "The Begum," aud from if as a text on native musics The production and the remarkable success or the operetta called uThe Begum" should prompt a good deal of reflection on the part of those who care for the develop ment of art in this country. "The Begum" is an American work, and as such is suggestive of both the will and the ability on the part of American composers to do acceptable work in the present and great work in the early future if permitted. But they are not permitted. They are forbidden by a false theory, a preverted taste, an absurd fashion. If we are. ever M have, musical culture in this country, we must have musical art here, and to have that we .jnust be opcn-uiineteo) and liberal toward it. - We must'abandon the nction that music in the vernacular is less worthy than music in a foreign tongue. We must cure ourselves of the intellectual weakness which prompts our fashionable folk to think that it is "had form" to admire an American work, or ::n Ameri can voice, or to find pleasure in works sung in our own language. The Ger mans would never had the rank they hold in music if they followed so idiotic a lead as that which fashion sets us in this country. The' have insisted, on the con trary, upon having their operas sung in their own tongue, by singers nf their own land, and so they have created the art which we so meekly borrow from them. When we adopt a like course, and hold up the hauds of our own artists we muv hope to rank as a musical people. At present we are only playing at musical' culture under the direction of a fashion which is degitiding to us. We are doing in art what the dude does in clothing and manner. The following good panther story comes from Minden in the shape of a special to the State Journal : "Engineer Markham and his fireman had a thrilling encounter with a panther last Saturday night on the Burlington & Missouri River road between Minden aud Axtell. The train was a long one and heavily loaded, and between the two places named the engine slipped an eccentric and cams to a sta nd still. Mr. Markham and the fireman got out to set matters to rights and had about completed the job when both heard a yell that matte their blood run cold, and before either could turn, a large panther sprang upon the engineer and buried his claws in his shoulder. The fireman had 'aiieavy wrench in his hand and-wftlrthis' he struck the brute on the head. This partially stunned him and loo'sened his hold jon the engineer, but before either men could take ad vatage of the situation he made n vicious leap for the fireman. Engiueer Markham had by this time drawn his revolver and by a lucky shot struck the brute, between the eves killing him instantly. Both men were badly hurt and will be laid up for some time. The panther measured six feet from the end of his nose to the tip of his tail and weighed nearly two hundred pounds. This is the first panther killed in the vicinity for two years. "Did you ever hear nf the romantic side of the love alfair of Nina Van Zant and Anarchist Spies?" asked a bright young woman of a Pittsburg Times re porter recently. 'You didn't? Well I'll tell you,' she continued. I was a school mate of 3Iiss Van Zant, and know con siderable of her history. After her father's failure in business the family moved to Chicago. All that remained of their former affluence were five pug dogs, the property of Nina, and as sh stubborn- ly refused to give them up the appraisers of her father's assets had omitted them from the schedule of his effects. The eirl was wonderfully attached to the pets, and as time elapsed and she felt more and more the pinch of poverty, her affection for the dogs increased. One day the j favorite of the lot was lost. Diligent search, offers of reward, and advertising were all ineffectual iu restoring the animal to its bereaved owner. Miss Van Zant wrote a letter to the Arbeitcr-Zeitung, recouuting her sorrow and bewailing the loss of her greatest pet. 'August Spies, who was then editor of the pnper, publish ed the letter'' and wrote an amusing editorial, in which he made a great deal fnn of the young girl's love for the pug dog. The editorial gave the incident so much notoriety that it led to the discovery and restoration of the dog Miss Van Zant was so grateful that she went in person to thank the editor, and that was the first meeting between the doomed anarchist and the woman who is destined to be his 'widow.' The book of Job, although it was writ reu more man nw years a. u. was not published In America until 3400 years later. This tends to confirm th theory of some commentators that it was origin ally written for a popular magazine. Burdettc. At 12 o'clock, noon, Monday, December 5th, the Fiftieth congress will convene. The democrats who have a majority of ten in the house of representatives, will organize. They will have a caucus o Saturday evening for the purpose of nom inatiug a speaker, a clerk, sergeant at arms, postmaster and doorkeeper. It Is conceded by all that Mr. John G. Carlisle of Kentucky, will bathe nominee of the caucus for speaker, aad that his re-elec tion will not be antagonized by any one in the party. The republicans of the house will cast a complimentary vote for Thomas II. Reed of Maine for the speak ershio. The house will be called to order by Clerk Clark, and after roll call the sneaker will be elected- When that officers tuker the-chair the election of tee other officers will follow. The members will then be sworn in by the speaker. There are a number of contested elections, but they are not upon certificates and the contestees will therefore be sworn in u lion the prima, facie evidence of their certificates. The contests are Duffy vs. Davidson, Alabama; Lowery vs. White, ludiaua; Worthinston vs. Post, Illinois; Frank vs. Glover, Missouri; Sullivan vs. Feltou, California; Lynch vs. Vandever, California; Small vs. Elliott, South Caro lina, and Thoebe vs- Carlisle, Kentucky. President Ingalls will call the senate to order and that body being a continuing one, will proceed to business, there being no reorganization except of some of the committees necessary. There may be a heated debate over a couple of contests those of the People of Indiana vs. David Turpie, and Faulkner vs. Lucas, West Virginia. Irregularity in the issuance of Turpie's certificate and the joint proceed ings of the legislature which voted for him are alleged in the first case, while in the second it is held that the term to which Lucus was appointed by the gov ernor of West Virginia has not expired, and the legislature had no right to elect Faulkner. Washington special to St. Louis Repub lican : From a rumor in circulation in this city it would appear there are some singular side issues in the late contest in New York. A story that has been quietly passed around is to the effect that the candidacy of Fred Grant for Secretary of State was really a deep laid plan to reconcile and capture in Blaine's behalf the disgruntled and stalwart Republicans of New York State. The Blaine people got together and devised what they thought was a very ingenious abd promis ing scheme fur bringing Conkling's following safe and sure over to Blaine Their idea was carried out in the nomina tion of Grant, the impression being th an or me uonKimg crowa wouia De so delighted with this testimonial to the memory of General Grunt that hen New lork was called on the next year to support Blaine the Republican party would bo once more solid and united . According to the story, some of the lead ers who were manipulating the little game approached influential Republicans, who continue loval to Conkliusr, with an out and out proposition to make peace over the nomination of Fred Grant. Conkling's friends, however, were not quite willing to act without full knowl edge and approval. As the story goes they went to him and laid the matter before him, asking what they should do. Conkling was too astute and too complete ly irreconcilable, however, to be led into any such trap. He told his friends in plain words that the thing would never do, and if they followed his advice they would not connect themselves with the movement in any way, or commit them aelvet as to the course of the party at the next presidential convention New York people, who are relating the story now, refer to it as unmistakable evidence that Conkling means to fight Blaine to the bitter end. They say it confirms other evidence indicating that Conkling will never permit Blaine to get into the presi dential chair if it is in his power to pre vent his election. i I: i 4 ' Prescriptions carefully cotoponnded.

In some places in China debtors who are unable to meet the claims of their creditors are punished with the loss of sicht. In the case which came under Dr. Morrison's observation it was the debtor's son who was the victim of this diabolical custom. He was tied hands and feet, and deprived wholly of the siirht of one eye, while that of the other would have been lost but for timely surgical aid. The of fense was that the poor fellows father owed the remorseloss Shylock fortv tael3 or about fifty dollars. Some days ago Vienna was startled by a statement in the newspapers that there are iu the Viennese schools 2.300 starving children, who remain without food from morning till evening, having perhaps but one miserable meal a day. It now appears that the statement is only too true, and that great misery prevails among the poorer classes of Vienna. The disclosure has been promptly followed by generous contributions to a fund to be started for the purpose of providing dinners for poor school children.

On the Denver & Bio Grande west bound train last Saturday a Chinaman named Lee Shung locked himself in the closet thirty miles east of Grand Junction and refused to come out. He travelled this way for about sixty miles, when a brakeman got up and broke the traasom to get the Chinaman out Lee Shusg suddenly opened the door and sprang out with a knife in his hand. He made a lunge at the brakeman but missed him. The crazy Chinaman then ran almest through the car, terrorizing the thirty passengers. He struck at George Hocket brigge of Bunker Hill, Montgomery county, III., laying open his stomach. By this time all in the car were wild with .terror. Brakeman Ginning than, shot the Chinaman three times. Some of the passengers also joined in the shooting and the Chinaman was killed. Hocketbrigge will die. He was about twenty-one years of age and was ticketed for Los Angeles. It is found practicable, at last, to make the waste of pine saw mills available for paper pulp. In reducing thb wood to pulp bisulphate of lime has been used, this powerful chemical acting on the fibre only when heated; heretofore only lead lined boilers would resist its action, these, however being costly and hard to keep in repair. More recently there has been discovered in Germany a kind of brick lining for boilers which serves the pur pose in question. The wood sawed In small pieces, is digested in large boilers lined with this brick, heat being supplied through lead steam pipes, nothing further being neccessary except thorough wash ing of the fibre. The bisulphate is made ou the spot by passing sulphurous vapor through porous limestone kept thorough ly wet. A costly convoy passed the other day through Berlin, Germany. It consisted of fifteeu heavy iron trunks, which were carted from the denot at the eastern boundary to the western limits of the city, and there stored in cars bound for Paris. France, and Amsterdam, Holland. At the latter place nearly all the older Rus sian loans were made, and the interest on them is still being paid there. The stock exchange of Paris having of late been selected as broker for floating the loans of the Russian Government it is of im. portauce to set as much .Russian gold rolling there as possible. For such reasons the fifteen cases. wei2hin? about 2.100 pounds and containing 5,000,000 of gold rubles- were-stnt westward- Tl 'lation of Russia is hardly everlgranted the pleasure of seeing gold coins. They have to do their business on the depre ciated greenbacks of the imperial treasury. A remarkable freak of nature is ex citing the citizens of Chatahoochie, Fla., In a small negro settlement near by, a colored woman gave birth to a boy child that nearly scared them all to death. It is divided in two halves one representing the Caucassian and the other the African race. One side from the centre of the forehead down is as black as coal while the other is equally as white. One side has thick lips and kinky hair and black eyes while the other has blue eyes and soft silky hair. It is in perfect health and grows fast. H. H. Speer, senator, is agent for the mother and is negotiating with P. T Barnum with a view of having it on exhibition. The state, of New York furnishes 241. 000 who can neither read nor write, Pennsylvania 222,000 while all of New England furnishes only 191,000. There are several reasons why the per cent of illiteracy of the eastern states is higher that that of the western outside and beyond the schools. The more illiterate foreigners as native born are willing to settle down on the coast states or where they were born; while the more enterpris ing and educated are ambitious to emi grate to the west and build homes or en gage in business. Of course uo one will undertake to say that the school system of the western section is superior to that of the eastern states. In a certain square in Paris, solemu aud suberb, rests a mighty bronze lion. He looks toward Prussia. They tejl the tourist that the legend forttiat great figure is not yet written. If France survives this decade of nolitical crises and perils, perhaps some patriot will engrave this at the feet of the monarch : "lam the lion of the Republic. I fear no fn without nor foe within. I love peace . I overcame myself. I am great" In Quitman, Ga., a drunken negro re- ow.tu ohwu i uc yuiiuemau mi mm ou the heud with a club and in an instant the negro's wool was all ablaze. The police man was frightened and took to his heels. After he had recovered from his fright sufficienty to stop running he resigned. The explanation of the blaze was found in the negro's practice of using his hair a a match safe. 1 Salt Rheum or Eezema-.
