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.

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.

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

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

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

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"
