THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, JUNE 19, 18G6.
Oh! Let Me He Your Hof Again.
IThe following lines were suggested, on hearing of
the Hidden death of a young man of great worth
and refinement, and bolored by all who knew him,
rho, on the night of hii death, laid hid head on till
mother's lap and said: "Let me be your koy again,
mother; let me be y oar little boy again kiss m,
dear mother." Continuing this strain of pure
emotional sentiment for a few minutes, he suddenly
rose, threw back his head, and died on the Instant.
Roll back, ye years of youth's bright oya
Roll back, proud oi.inhood'g riper years;
Roll back, e'en lot tu.y childish rear?,
Come to me with these pleasant toys;
W hich wiled my happy hours awav,
"When dawned my early childhood's clay.
Steal o'er me once again, those dreams,
Of childhood's pure and holy love,
Which lighted from the realms above;
My pnth shown clear as limpid streams,
Which, apnrklinir in the noon-tide sun,
My lite reflected as they run.
Kisa me, my Mother dear, once more,
Oh ! let me be your boy again
st me dui near mat bott, sweet strain,
And soothe my spirit an of yore;
Now fold mo in your loved embrace
From my sad soul each shadow chase.
Am I, dear Mother, loved by thee
As well, as when in childhood's time
My love was purely, fondly thine
I knelt in prayer beside thy knee?
And asked tor mercy, grace, and light,
To guide my youthful steps aright.
lie roH', and stretched his hands towards
heaven
With upturned face: he gasped for breath,
W'hiiu on his brow the seal 01 deata
Was fixed: the vital cord was riven;
And his pure spirit ros above.
To tli' Angel world ol licht and love.
Thus do we sec, through all life's way,
That mystic cor i, a mother's love,
Unchanging as the powers above,
Which points the soul to endless dav.
That holy love, which, felt from birth,
Still lives, when etrth returns to earth.
The New York Musicians' Strike-Mixed.
Up Condition of Affairs.
from the New York Timet of yesterday.
The "Musical Mutual Protective Union" does
not seem to be a probperous orgHuization. Its
best members are dropping 1'rotu it with a steadi
ness which In the end will leave nothing but the
scum. Recently the Union has endeavored to
conciliate the theatrical manaeers?. It requested
that a committee might be appointed to aprou
upon terms for the comine season. In a com
mendable spirit of conciliation three represen
tative managers met and consulted with three
members ol the M. M. P. V.
ItwaslbuDd impossible, however, to submit
to the claim asserted by the Union, numely,
that the latter should suggest the list from
which the various theatres (should select their
.mists. In other words, that none but members
ol the Union should be permitted to plav. Mr.
Whealley, the President of the Managers' Asso
ciation, represented this difficulty to the Presi
dent ol the M. M. P. IL, and the following liunl
letters were theu exchanged. Mr. Wtieatley's
letter strikes us as being rather hetty:
No. 84 Ludlow Street, New York, May 21.
W. Wheatley, Esq.. President Managers' Asso
ciation. Dear Sir: i'ours of the 19th. sicnil'v-
ing the determination of the Managers' Associa
tion, with regard lo the Association of which I
Lave the honor to be President, is at hand. I
rcuret very deeply that our respective com
mittees could not accomplish the ohject for
thich they met. And that they could not, in
my opinion, is owing to the misconstruction,
your Association put6 upon a certain article in
our constitution. That article has existed since
the !or tuauon ot our society, and was never in
tended as a menace to any person or persons
who employ musicians, but as an obligation
upon ourselves to prevent the system of under
mining which prevailed so extensively in our
piolessiou when the society first came into ex
istence, a system which is cunicd out even now
hv a very numerous class, who, having a me-
cliiinicul business during the day, end it a very
protitHblc source ol amusement to have a con
vemeut place of resort during the evening, well
ifitisued to keep the oronestrul seats warm at
:iny price chance may bestow.
It is such as these who have brought our
hrnneh of art esteemed bv the nncients as the
first down to what it is, almost a reproach. We
have had tome such among us, and may have
still, but they are not, and never have been,
welcome members. Our Society is not for the
protection of these, but for those whose whole
lue is devoted to the art 1 so humbly represent
on this occasion.
Our meiubeis ennnot earn a liviug out of phil
liarmoiiic concerts, nor by six mouths' engage--nient
at the opera, nor yet by a nine months'
engaguiiieut in a theatre, at the rates now
given, it is tnereiore necessary tuai we iook
out lor such gooci-paving ioos as may cnauce to
ome alonir during the year, to enable us to see
the end saiely. It is for the latter kind of busi
ness that our article of agreement binds us not
to rilav with non-members. r-or tuey are the
rats who have gnawed almost the lives out ot us
by takmg our Duemess secona-nana, ana at
lower rates than first charged by us.
1 admit at Hie same time it covers the per
formers in theatres, not as a menace, however,
but as a necessity, consequent upon the vario us
interests we are brought to protect.
With this explanation,! trust your Association
will better understand why we consider it abso
lutely ueeessarv to retain the belore-mentioued
clause. What we have asked ol the Managers
is, that we agree upon a minimum price lor the
9eason that win oe sausiaciory to ootu panics.
for which we will give a guarantee that our
members, it engaged, shall luini their engage
ments to the end ot the yetu. We do not, and
have not attempted to exact a promise that
you will engage our members in preference
to all others, out leave io uueu io you 10 u image
or not as vou choose. Leaving other matters
to take care ol themselves, and still hoping that
i better understanding may exist neuveeu our
respective association-, I have the honor to sub
icribe myseli, very truly, yours,
D. L. Downing,
President Musical Mutual Protective Union.
Vimn'B (2 a rden. New York. June 7, 1806. D.
L. Downing. E6u., President Musical Mutual
trotective 'Union. Dear Sir: I have received
vour favor of Mav 21. There can be no possible
n.iarniisfmction ot the article to which the
MauavcrV Association objects, however exalted
may have been the motives of your society in
iron. ;ni it. It distinctly compels every musician
it your Union not to perioral imuer any mauer
,r with any artist who doe9 not derive a prlvi-
cre ni emnlovnicut from you, and would have
he effect at this moment of obliging any
nanairer who ensaged ihe services of any of ,
our body to part wita his present leader and
o-chestra, an alternative which the Managers'
Vssociation respectfully declines.
It also respectliillv declines to arbitrarily die
ate the maximum or minimum amount which
inv aitist is to receive for his services.
tw iIia rest, without venturing to question
V.he correctness of the very unflattering estimate.
llicll VOU, With BUCU uueijuiuieu uuiiuiiiut---j

many membeisof the Musical Union.of which you

nay observe, more rnan usum-

duties they had undertaken to discharge, and
committing them to substitutes from the very
class now so severely reprobated, encouraged,

Gossip of the War In Europe.
Dr. Nelaton, the physician who extracted the
ball from Garibaldi's toot, has declared that he
has great doubts of Garibaldi's fitness for going
through a campaign, or indeed undergoing any
great latigue.
The sons of Don Juan de Bourbon have taken
service in the Austrian army as captains of artil
lery, and several old t'arlist emigrants have left
Paris to enlist under Francis Joseph.
A letter irom Gleiwitz (Prussia) relates this
incident: "The men of the land wehr were on
the point of starting; the train waa ready, but
the wives of the soldiers opposed its departure,
throwing themselves in their despiir on the
rails In lront of the locomotiye. Recourse to
violence could not be had. What was to be
done? The station mnster proposed to the
women to accompany their husbands, but in
separate carringes. The poor creatures con
sented; but w hen the train started, the carriages
with the women did i.ot move. The station
master had had them detached. lie took care
to get away before the discovery was made."
The Austrian authorities at Cracow have re
ceived Instructions from Vieuna to prepare
valuations of upwards ot two hundred houses In
the town, which it ii proposed to pull down in
case Cracow should be besieged by the enemy.
A Florence letter to the Chicago Tnbutve con
tains the lollowing:
"There arc many moving incidents in the
volunteering. Yesterday a wealthy citix.cn
stood looking on at the departure of several
hundred young men irom the station at Milan.
Just as the train whistle began to screech out
its warning that the hour of departure had
come, a Itutiiliar voice cried out from a thtrd
cla s car, 'Good-by. papa.' He looked up, and
there was his oldest son, in the full glory of the
red blouse, going oil' to the war. The lather was
dashed for a second, but there was no time to
lose. He rushed up to the car, kissed the boy,
nud handed him his purse, with only one re
jiroof: 'Had you told me, Johnny, there would
have been more money tu the purse.'"
