SliLECTSTQRY. A ROYAL SYMPHONY. Everybody who knew Mr. Donbloboss BRrecil tlmt It was entirely his own fault that ho hail not Achieved n distinguished position In tho inii9lcnl world. Ills musi cal irlfts were beyond question. Ho wna n iwrfect muster of several Instruments, had a profound knowledge ot the theoretical branch of his nrt, and was In addition to this a man of wldo reading mul some liter ary power. Hut nt tho nge of 00, ho was engaged In a desperate struggle for exist ence. The reason was not dllllcult to dis cover. Mn Doubleunss had sundry vlowa about tho nature of art and tho duties of an artist, which, however sublime In themselves, nro conduclvo neither to per Botial popularity nor pecuniary profit. Ho had a comtltutloiml horror of humbug In every shape, and au unfortunnto facility iu blurting out his opinions in defiance of conventionality and prejudice. Hy theso means ho had ruined olio nfter another of the chances llto had brought him. Ho had failed as a professor at a well known musical institution by a remorse less severity with which ho kept his pu pils at tho groundwork of their studies beforo allowing them to pro coed to higher things. He had mndo himself impoitlblo as a conductor by his resolute refusal to have anything todo with works which did not satisfy I1I3 high stuadaiit of artist excellence. 1 lo had lost his post us musical critic on one of tho Iondou dailies by his ferocious onslaught upon one or two distinguished amateurs. In the natural course of things, therefore. Sir. Doublcbass sank lower and lower lu tho Woild until, meeting with bad health In addition to his other reerse3, he was ut last compelled to take a second fiddle iu a well-known London orchestra, wlillo his daughter Muggio for by this tlmo Sir. Doublebass was n widower extracted what addition could bu mndo to tholr scanty means out of n mniden lady lodger. One wet December evening tlio littlo gentleman enmohomo rather later thnn usual to his modest mansion In the neigh borhood of Park street, Camden Town. Slaggio was, as usual, waiting up forhlm, and took from him his fiddle-case and dripping overcoat owing to circum stances beyond his control, Sir. Double bass had been out without an umbrella. Tho old man turned Into tho littlo front parlor, nnd, without many remarks, fell to work upon tlio fragment of Dutch cheese, the household loaf and tho half pint of beer spread out for his refresh ment. "Any news, SIngglel" ho Inquired pres ently. "Yes, great news, father," said tho girl, looking up from her work; "I havo had a visitor." "Friendly or hostile!" asked Sir. Double bass, who had a vivid recollection that tho "water-rates'" had called a few days pre viously, and promised a repetition of his visit shortly. "A friend," In a gay tone. "Ho said he had good news for you, nnd-left this note, with tho mcssago tnat you must be at homo to-morrow without fall." Sir. Doublebass opened the note which his daughter handed to him, and read as fol lows: "Dkau I). Havo you still got tho sym phony by you, nbout which you spoke to me sonio weeks ago? It you have, I think I can llnd nn opening for it, provided you will bo satisfied with a 10-pound note. Hut I must see you nbout it at once. Will call at 10 a. in. to-morrow. Yours, "Soai'luv Smart." "Hless tho man, what does ho bcent him self llko that forf Why, the very paper he touches smells llko a barber's shop. Give me tho tobacco, Slag," cried tho old man, tossing tho note from him with a 4iill. "Hadn't I better get the symphony, too, father!" asked Slaggic. "Huh! what dues ho know about the symphony!1 It's not the sort of stuff ho wants," said Sir. Doublcbass," contemptu ously. "However, I supposo ho must see it. Just get It down, Slaggic, aud I'll sea that It Is all in order beforo I go to bed." SInggio had no difficulty in laying her hands upon tho precious SIS. In question, which hud been tho companion of their troubles for many years, and Sir. Double bass' kolaco under many trinls. Tho girl was, indeed, bcarcely less Interested in the symphony than tho old man himself, and knew enough of her father to guess that, In spito of his petulant tone, the prospect of his work being given to tho world at last elated him not a little. Punctually at 10 o'clock the next morn ing Sir. Soapley Smart drovo up to the door. Do was by no means n gentleman of that typo with which eminence in the musical profession is commonly asso ciated. His clothes were of a highly fash ionable cut and material; ho had an eye glass in one eye; his hair, which was yel low and scanty, was cut short and parted in tho middle, and ho woro a heavy mus tache and two little tufts of w hisker. At an early ago of his musical career ho hud achieved fume by tho publication of a se ductive waltz of a simplo character, called "Kcoutez-mol," and two or three intensely pathetic ballads, tho best known of whicli is "Tho Angel and tho Kiss." Having an extensive connection iu fushlonublu cir cles, ho had rapidly advanced into tlio higher walks of art. lie was the habitual associate ot arlstocratio amateurs, per formed at smoking concerts, whero even royalty smoked cigars and played tho violin, conducted an orchestral society for membership of which a title was the 0111 indispensable qualitlcatlou. During tho last twelve mouths this talented gentle man had on moro than 0110 ocenssiou shown 11 friendly Interest in Sir. Double bass, and it was to him that tho elder mu sician owed his seat iu tho orchestra whero ho now played. Sir. Doublebass, who, to tell the truth, entertained a pro found contempt for Soapley Smart and all his works, was quite ut a loss to account for these acts of friendship, though possi bly if SIlss Doublebass had chosen sho might have enlightened her father 011 that point. "I haven't mnny minutes to spare," said Mr. Smart iu his airy manner, as ho took a seat. "Don't run away, Sllss Double bass. 1 may have to talk secreto, but nothing, I am sure, but what I may trust you with. ;ow, then, where Is the mug num opus!" Sir. Doublebass handed the SIS. to his visitor. "itather bulky, Isn't it!" observed Sir. Smart, poising tho work in his hands. "I hopo it isn't too long, though that's u defect soon remedied. What's this!" (tho critic had rapidly turned over a page or two), " "Allegro," 'Anilante cou inoto," 'Scherzo.' This looks llko Philharmonic form, doesn't It, Doublebass? Wo dn't want anything too serious, you know. Hut perhaps I had better talk business first. I have told you I can lind au open lug for tills symphony, Doublebass, and that you will be well paid for It, Hut there are certain conditions. I don't want it for publication In the oidlnary way. It Is to be prepared iu public, but are you prepared not only to part with the pro perty in It of course for good considira tion but to give up all claim to tlio authorship?" Sir. Doublebass, who had lieen looking at his visitor with a comical expression, took of his spectacles, wiped them, und put them on again, as it tu assist lils comprehension. "I lwg your pardon," ho said. "It is lu this way," resumed Sir. Smart, "A new symphony Is to be performed at a certain concert to be given shortly lu London, 1 want your symphony for that purpose, vt 111 it suit you to taKe a sum down, give up ull claims to tho music, and never say another word about the transac tion ?" "Ohl" said Sir. Doublebass! and his daughter saw the cllort It cost his to pre serve his composure, "Slight I Inquire, lu the llrst placo, to whom I ant to sell the authorship?" "Heally, I don't se that that la material," said Sir, Smart. Then 1 presume Sir. Soapley Smart is about to mnko his debut us a classical composer?" Sir. Doublebass' Hp curled perceptibly us lie spoke, "Upon my word, Doublebass, you ore too hard on me," said Smurt, "You forco me to speak more plainly than I Intended but llrst I must have your promise that what I nm about to mention shall never go beyond ourselves." Sir, Doublcbass Inclined his head In silence. His daughter did tho same. iou nro aware." said Sir. Smart, "that It Is my prlvilego to bo on somewhat lntl mato terms, professionally sneaking, with n certain exnltcd personage who honors our art witn ins patronngo. Tho concert 1 mentioned lust now Is In aid of tho f inula of 11 well-known educational Institution. In order to give eclat to the entertainment my exalted friend not only promised to perform a solo 011 tlio trombone, his favor ito instrument, but has offered to compose an orchestral symphony speclnlly for tho occasion. Of course, tho oiler was ac cepted. As you nro aware, my exalted friend dabbles a littlo In composition. Ho had, however, never attempted nnythlng on so ambitious a ocnlo as a symphony, and tlio tusk proved moro nriltioustlinnhe Had anticipated. He himself, with his usual modesty, was the llrst to acknowledge this. 'Hang tlio sym phony,' ho said to mo at last, even exalted personages uso strong language occasionally, SIlss Doublebass Jiang tlio symphony. I'm sick ot it. They'll linvotodo without It.' I ven tured respectfully to suggest that this would cause grievous disappointment, tickets having been already sold. 'Well, look here, Soapy,' ho said that Is a pleas ant way In which tho great 0110 Is pleased to nuurcss your humble servant occasion ally 'you must write tho confounded thing.' I demurred as far ns I could, but he was firm, and in the end I had to un dertake the job. Now, I can bo candid with you, Doublebass, and I frankly ad mit that the task was not nt all In my line. I don't profess to go In for high nrt, you know. I was at my wits' end, when I luckily thought of you and tlio symphony you had mentioned to me, and hero I nm. Now, I think you will seo liow tho land lies." Heally," said Sir. Doublebass, who had listened to tho foregoing narrative with a firlm smile, "that Is a very great honor you havo planned for mo. Now, when do you want tho symphony?" "At once; wo ought to bo practicing it now." 1 asked because, ns you Intimated, a few alterations will no doubt bo necessary, nnd they can not bo mndo in a minute." i. 011 relievo me of a dlluculty. Double- bass. Tluit Is the very thing I wanted to say. I can glvo you till Saturday, but not later. It must bo made shorter, you know, and lighter, my dear sir, lighter." "I understand," said Sir. Doublcbass. 'Something between Heethoveii and Ollen- bach." "Precisely tho very thing!" said Sir. Smart, and nftcr a few more words ns to terms ho hurried olt to tho cab which was waiting for him. "You are not really going to do this father?" Inquired SInggio, when tho visi tor was gone. Sho had listened to tho In terview in some bewilderment nnd was quite taken aback at the result. 'Why not, my dear?" Hotter bo out of tho world than behind the times," said the old gentleman, evasively. Accordingly, he set to work, with very little delay, and kept hard at it for tho next threo or four days, working far into the night. By Sat urday, the revised edition of tho sym phony was completed and duly forwarded to Sir. Smart. Within n week or two advertisements of the approaching concert to which Sir. Smart hud alluded wero appearing In newspapers and on boardings, and excited no little Interest In fashlonablo and musi cal circles. It was to be conducted by Sir Hoyler Potts, who had the general super intendence of all tho arrangements, nnd who, besides being a musician of some tal ent, had made moro money by his operas aud oratories than all tho great masters put together. The Lady Anne Dante was to sing one of her own songs, and two prima donnas of world-wide reputation wero also announed, though in much smaller typo than Lady Anne, who had a line to herself. Lastly came tlio announcement of the trombone solo by II, H. II. Prince Albert of Gotten Pensclien, and tho new and original symphony by tho same gifted personage. The prince of Ootten-Penscheiv's devotion to art dated from the days when, as an in fant, ho had llrst delighted tho homely Herman court In which he was born by bu astonishing rendering of nursery songs upon a mouth-organ. Ho was distantly connected by birtli with tho Knglish royal family, and hud greatly Improved tho con nection by marriage whicli last fact, coupled with his musical tulents, had nt once demonstrated his Htuess for an im portant command in the Ilritlsh navy. This post II. It. H. (ho had been elovated to a rank of a royal highness by royal warrant) had now held for some years, and dining that time had shown a zeal in bringing tlio rellning influence of music to bear on tho Hritisli sailor, which had greatly raised him In the public estima tion. With such an artistic feast as the piogranimo promised, it Is not surprising that the tickets went o'.t most satisfactor ily. The prevailing curiosity nbout tho prince's symphony was artfully stimulated by occasional paragraphs in tho columns of the papers which supplied fashionable Intelligence. Slimy of these wero written by Sir, Soapley Smart, who did a good deal of light literary work, aud was, more over, the musical critic ot that highly fnslnonublo journal, Tho St. James Ad vertiser. Hy this means an Impression was widely diffused that It. It. II. the prince of tiotten-l'ensclien had produced a work whicli would at onco clovato him to 11 position beside the great classical com posers of his fatherland, Tho night of the concert duly arrived. The hall was densely packed with an audi ence representing the elite of London so ciety, ns well as o tho world of art aud letters. The entertainment fully justified all the expectations which had been formed lonccrnlng It, and provoked tho greatest enthusiasm. The prince of Gotten-Pen-f chen was reserved for the second part; nnd when his royal highness appeared after tho interval with his trombone, ho was re ceived with a perfect ovation. Sir Hoyler Potts had composed a tasteful littlo mor ceau for the occasion, nnd the priuco, though n little nervous, got through It very creditably, with the exception of a trilling hitch when the nugust performer had to stop and perform nn operation sometimes necessary with tho instrument In question, The symphony camo almost Immediately afterward. The opening movement (allegro) was listened to with rapt attention and followed by a volley of applause. The next movement (andanto con moto) and tho third (scherzo) created a still moro favorable Impression. Hut tho climax was reached with tho fourth movement, which, opening with a quaint modernto in a minor key, wound up with a rattling presto.whlch completely brought down tlio house, and roused the more demonstrative portion of tho audience to the utmost pitch of enthusiasm. Amid deafening npplauso the royal composer came forward and bowed right and left, with n modesty which, under the circum stances, did him great credit, aud tlio ap plause continued until Sir Hoyler Potts took up his baton and gave the last move ment over again, Karly tho following morning Sir, Doublebass, who nail resisted nil the en treaties of his daughter and Sir, Smart to be present at thu concert, sat In his arm chair while SInggio read to lilm nn elo quent critique ot the previous night's performance from The St. James Adver tiser. There was a grim smile 011 the old man's face as his daughter read the fol lowing passago; "1 1 a word his royal high ness has srvn proof of the musical genius of the very highest order, Iu the wealth of thematic Ideas, no less than in tho mastery displayed lu tho musical treat ment, the opening allegro recalls Heetho veii lu his moments ot loftiest Inspiration. Tho second movement is characterized by a scholarly tunefulness distinctly sugges tive uf Sleudelssohii, The humor of the scherzo was Irresistible, und the brlllluncy and ven 0 of tho llualo could have been surpassed by no other master than "Papu" Huydn, while, beyond and ubove these, there runs through tho whole work a con ception of musical possibilities of which tho great masters wltu ull their gifts were hardly capable." Hefore Slaggle hail Ilnishetl, there was a sharp knock ut the door, uud Soapley Smart hurried In. "Ah, SHsj Doublobass," ho said, "you havo Tho Advertiser, I see. I hope your father Is sntlsllcd with that. I think I laid It on well. Hut look here, Doublcbass, this will amuse you, Hero's old Hoston, of Tho Slornlng Cnblegraph, been having n High, nt II. It. II., nnd sold himself prettily, Thnt shows you what musical criticism Is worth." As ho spoke, Sir. Smnrt pointed with his finger to a passngo In tho newspaper which ho handed to Sir. Doublcbass. Tho latter read as follows: "Wo aro not aware whether the 'sym phony' by II, It. II., the prlnco of Gotten Pcnschcn was Intended ns a musical joke, but, If so, tho point appeared to be missed by the majority of tho audlenco. The work is apparently founded on a sorles of music-hall aud street melodies, though tho subjects aro worked up with nn amount of skill nnd technical resource for which wo should have hardly havo given his royal highness credit." "Well?" said Sir. Doublebass, handing back tho paper. "Don't you think thnt a pretty piece of Impertinence?" asked Smart. "On the contrary, I am glad to find that there Is one musical critic In London who knows what ho if talking about." "How so?" asked Smart. "Well, I can tell you how," said Mr. Doublebass. "I,ook hero, Sir. Soapley Smnrt, you mado me 0110 of tho most in sulting proposals that was ever mado to an artist or a gentleman. You took me for n knuvo as well as a fool. It so hap pened that I wanted monoy very badly, and I thought I saw n way of being even with you. Sec, hero Is tlio rough scheme of the prince of Gotlen-Penschcn's pre cious symphony. The principal subject of tlio allegro, which reminds you so of Hccthoven, Is 'Pop Goes tho Weasel,' thinly disguised In modern orchestration. The theme of the Slendelssohniun adagio, stripped of certain variations nnd tho em bellishments, may bo known to you under the titlo 'Walt Till tho Clouds HoirBy.' Tho scherzo and presto nro founded re spectively upon theso inspired melodies ' 'Tlddy-fol-lol.' and 'The Slasher King,' worked up with new matter and entirely original orchestral effects. Now, who has been mado a fool of, Sir. Smart?" Luckily for SIr.Doublebass Sir Boyler Potts had been one of tho few who had discovered tho real nature of tho prince's symphony. Having n keen appreciation of a joke, and being struck by the musical merits of the composition, ho had Inquired and learned from Soapley Smart tho real fits as to tho authorship. Very shortly after tho concert. Sir Hoyler found an op portunity of making Sir. Doublebass' ac quaintance, with tho result that the little gentleman's original symphony was soon nfter performed in public and nchloved n success nearly ns great aud quite as genu Ino ns that ot tho prince of Gotten Pcnschen. London Truth. Habit of Disregarding Troper Sleep. In persons of vigorous constitution the habit of disregarding proper sleep, and tho insomnia which springs from It, may go on for several years without any apparent bad effect. In time, however, it is certain to produce Its natural consequences. The llrst Indications of danger are irritability of mind und feverish excitement, followed by depression, pallor, and deficiency of ap petite. These are succeeded by llts of un consciousness, In which tho affected per son positively sleeps, and, It may be, sleeps Boundly, without Himself knowing tho fact. In this way ho gets rest, which, for a little while may glvo 11 certain measure ot relief; but soou the nervous failure in creases, and one of two results succeeds. Ho either falls Into a sleep which becomes a coma, and terminates In death, or he continues sleepless, unless artificially mado to sleep by narcotics, and with pro gressing falling powers sinks Into paralysis, to succumb from that affection. In ex ceptional cases the insomniac makes a fair recovery. Field of Diseases. Women In the DanUlt Hanks. The National bank In Denmark has for a long time employed women ns clerks (tellers).

It contains money and valuable papers, and ho offers a reward ot ilOO for it." A fat man with a solemn face replied promply: "A hundred and live." "One ten," called a volco. "Fifteen." "Twenty." They hod run It up to $000 wheu owner of tho pocket-book yelled: "Hold oni hold onl There's no profit In that. There's only $100 In the pocket-book and the papers aren't negotiable."

A I'lncky I.lttlo Aztno Lad. One day, at tho American legation, a bright littlo lad of a dozen years came in with some letters while I sat talking with tho charge, In tho absence of Minister Jackson. Tho boy was so polite, so prompt, so spirited that he nttractcd my attention, for I saw ho was an Indian and was, in tills position, quite emancipated from tho awful frown and sense ot superi ority of tho dark-brown Spaniard a new order of being. "Yes," said the charge, "that lxy was barefooted, or at least wearing sandals a little tlmo ngo, and almost naked. Ho was employed to feed a furnaco in a ma chine shop, but ono day he was found sit ting behind a wood pile with a poncll and nu old envelope iu his hands. The master demanded to know what ho was doing. Tho lad answered that the furnace was full of wood, nnd he was trying to' lenrn to write with what spare time ho had." To make a long story short, this little Mexican lad had picked up a pencil, and then by copying the names of his employer nnd others which ho found nbout tho shop on old envelopes, ho had already learned to write a good hand. He was promoted to bo gate-keeper, and Ls now tho little man wno takes the letters of the American minister to nnd from the wstolllce; and even takes money to and from the bank. "Steal?" Tho chargo was Indignant. "I could not even get tho boy to lie for all tho gold In Mexico." So you see, our legation in Slexlco Is do ing solid pood. It has lifted at least ono human being up to tho high level ot soul equality. And this Is much more than I ever knew any other American legation to achieve, or even undertake.
