Bene dict; "Irene," a tale, V ("Concluded); "ChesR," by a Tenth-rate Player; "Our Monthly Gossip;" "Literature of the Day." From "Souvenirs of Song," by Lucy II. Ilooper, we take the following description of the manner in which grand operas are pro duced in Berlin: In all essential points the opera in Berlin far surpasses even the traditional glories of the grand opera in Paris. The natural voices of the leading performers are quite as flue as those of the French bingers, while their ar tistic training is even superior, and the chorus and orchestra are simply unapproach able in size, training, and general perfection. All the details of costume and sceuery are worthy of study, so minutely have they been elaborated and so careful has been the super vision bestowed upon them. The mine ea scene of such operas as the Huguenots, the Prophete, or William Tell, presents not only a gorgeous and effective stage spectacle, but a correct historical picture. Scene-painting and stsge-costnming seem to be considered in Berlin as belonging to the fine arts, and to be treated accordingly. Let us take, for example, one of the befct known operas on the modern Btage Faust. As it was first produced in Berlin, every scone was worthy of cafeful study, and was exqui site in artistic beauty. The morning light streaming through the lattice of 'Faust's' desolate room, the vision of 'Marguerite's' innocent loveliness, the bustle and crowd of the Keriuesse, with its gay booths, noisy shows, and animated spectators, were eaon incomparable in its way. Next ca;ne tho garden scene, bathed in the golden and rose-hued light of a summer sunset. Gradually, as tho scene proceeded, the rosy radiance faded away, and a cold gray twilight stole over the trees and tlowers and the distant spires and buildings of the city 6eon beyond the garden walls. Twilight deepened into night, tho sky dark ened into a dusky, shadowy blue, the stars came forth one by one, and at last the ma n rose, and the curtain fell on the embrace of Faust and Marguerite under a silvery moon light that flooded the whole scene with so in tense and real a lustre that, looking at the shining light and dark shadows, it was almost impossible to realize that art and not nature was the source of the brightness that illumined the stage. The cathedral scene was equally beautiful, and even moro impressive. The stage repre-. sented tho interior of a vast Gothic cathedral crowded with worshippers, while far in the distance blazed the lights of tho altar, and white-robed priests moved to and fro amid clouds of incense and the grand swelling harmonies of the organ. Behind the altar rose a vast window of brilliantly-huod stained glass: one of the upper divisions was open, and through this opening were visible the starry sky and the full moon, whose silvery Fpltndor contrasted wondrously with the golden lustre of the lighted candles. In tho foreground knelt Marguerite, weeping, re morseful, despairing, while ever and anon the pillar at her fcide became intensely luuiintms and transparent, and the mocking face of Mephistopheles peered forth. In this soene Paulino Lucca surpasses her soft-eyed Swedish rival, though we doubt if the passionate in tensity of her acting is as true to Goethe's original delineation as is the crushed, sad hopelessness of tho Marguerite of Christine Nilsson. The Walpurgis Night, though less poetic, was the most splendid of all the scenio effects which so charmed us. The scene was set transversely, so as to give the idea of illimit able distance, and it represented a gorgeous Eastern palace, through whose arched win dows could be seen the glowing atmosphere and luxuriant vegetation of a tropical land scape, while crowds of bright-robed dancing girls hovered around Faust or in the back ground, came and went, and floated to and fro to the pulses and pauses of the music. Sud denly, Faust called upon the name of Mar guerite, and in an instant the splendid page ant vanished, and before us rose the dark, cold summit of the Blocksberg, with an un seen moon behind it lighting the heavens with nncarthly radiance. And then along the side of the mountains glided a white form with un moving feet and stony eyes, and a ghastly scarlet ring around the slender throat. Gounod was forgotten, and the influence of Goethe's geniua reigned supreme. "HAKPEIt'8." J'arp r's Magazine for February, which we have received from W. S.

Cooper; "Elitor'a Ewy Chair;" "Editor's Literary Record;" "Elitor'a Scientific Becord;" "Editor's nistorijal JUecord;" "Editor'a Drawer." From the article entitled "An Exa uinatiou of the Claims of Columbus," by lie. Mr. Maury, we quote as follows: That Columbus was the originator of tha idea that hitherto unknown lands were t lo found by steadily Bailing westward cannot for a moment be maintained. The truth is t'.iut neither he nor any of his oontemporariea ever expected to find unknown lands at all. The story of his arguing for the existence of a balancing cor.:: i Jit. is f.'rr'c ? ' r '- What he proposed to do is sufficiently ob vious. The entire commercial world of his day, Venice alone excepted, was anxious to discover a passage by sea to India. During a space of two centuries the facta and fables recounted by Marco Polo had gained more or less credence in Europe, and the not un natural desire to visit his distant "Cathty" (China), and that goodliest island of "Cipan go" (Japan), where the soil literally sparkled with rubies and diamonds, pearls were as plen tifnl as pebbles, and gold waa found in the form of mountains rather than nuggets, had not a little stimulated at once the lovers of adventure and of lucre. Whether young Christopher had perused the glowing pages of the Venetian voyager we are not informed. Yet it may be conjectured with the highost degree of probability that he had. At the close of his first voyage he affirmed that he had returned from "Cipango." In a letter written in 1504 he says: "I reached, on the 13th of May, the province of Mango, whioh is contiguous to that of Cathay. From Ciguara, in the country of Veragua, it is only ten days' journey to the Gangea." lteference to the map of Behaim will show that our navigator considered himself to have been, at the time specified, on the northern Bhores of China, somewhere near the district lying to the north of the tropic of Cancer, which is assigned to the "konig," or king, "Von Mangi." The mere fact that Columbus gives to tho lands which he visits the names of countries described by Marco Polo, is tolerable strong circumstantial evi dence that he was in search of those regions. If, however, the fables of travellers did not give color and character to his enter prise, there were facts of a very palpable and suggestive order which could not but operate powerfully upon his mind. No state had ex ercisod more influence in European politics, for the space of a hundred aud fifty years, than the diminutive republic of Venice. Her doges W6re emperors; they figure as the great interventionists of their day; her merchants were princes; her dwellings were palaces. Before tho gorgeous portal of San Marco stood the banner-polos that once had borne tho standards of Cyprus, Candia, and Morea. When Mohammed II wa threatening Constantinople, the last of the imperial race of Byzantium sent, in his emer gency, ambassadors to beg tho aid of the city of waters. Venice waa recognized as the sovereign of the seas. The annual mystio marriage of the Adriatic was far from being a meaningless ceremony. And the cause of this was no mystery. Venice had been for hun dreds of years the entrepot for the European traae witn India. Upon the bosom of the Canal Giudeca rocked nrgosies fraught with the fine-spun produce of the looms of Cash mere, the glittering yield of Goloonda'a mines, the spices, perfumes, aud dyes gathered oa tne baiiKs ot tho sacred Ganges. Even now the swarthy belle of many an Egyptian village bears unwitting testimony to the commercial supremacy onco enjoyed by the Queen of the Adriatic No moro goodly ornament does she boast than the string of Venetian sequins which crowns her brow. The coin of the republio was the recognized standard of pecuniary value, the medium through which tho hostility of tho Ishmaelite was converted into commercial urbanity. The kingdoms of Spain and Portugal were quite cnpablo of appreciating the advantages derived by their more fortunately situated neighbor, from her direct intercourse with the east; and nothing was nearer to the heart of the sovereigns of those countries than the discovery of some other modo of intercommu nication for themselves than the Venoto Alexaudrian. For tho sea-board nations of Western Europe this was tho groat commer cial problem of tho day. It suggested, it gave character, to all their geographical en terprise. And it was the design of Columbus to solve this problem. So far was he from conceiving of any necessity for the existence of a balanc ing continent, hitherto unknown, that never, to the end of his days, did he oven dream of the possibility of the existence of such a con tinent. He seems to have supposed at least he strenuously, not to say indignantly, claims that his achievement has been to reach tho shores of India, and the regions described in Marco Polo's letters of gold. An extant letter written by him, in the year 1500, contains the assertion that "if any one does not givo him credit for having discovered the remaining parts of India, it simply arises from personal hostility" towards him. In a letter addressed by him to Pope Alex ander, in 1502, only four yoara before his death, he says, venturing lavgely upon tho meagre geographical information of his Holi ness: "I discovered fourteen hundred islands and three hundred and thirty-throe leagues of the coast of Asia." Over these islands it be comes us to cast the decent veil of charity unless, indeed, we allow ourselves to suppose that our worthy navigator always kept a re miniscence of Madeira in sight. Iiut what of his statement regarding tho 3.'$.'$ leagues of Asiatic coast? The claim to have made this discovery, aside from certain obvious moral inferences, which it not very feebly suggests, compels the conclusion that this, whiou, of course, he never did at all, waa what he had always desired to do.
