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.

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

even exalted personages uso strong

They'll linvotodo without It.' I ven
tured respectfully to suggest that this
would cause grievous disappointment,

ant way In which tho great 0110 Is pleased

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

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."

"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

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.

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. Joaquin

Tlie South Durlne the Wr.
It will be surmised that the south was
almost stripped of the luxuries of life to
ward the close of the struggle. This is a
mistake. Adventurers were all the time
running the blockade. There was nothing
that our society ladies could not buy If
they wero willing to pay the price. We
had no dudes In those days, but young
men who wanted a stylish rig had no
trouble In getting it. No doubt many of
tho articles smuggled through came from
Yankeedom Instead of from England and
France. Some of tho wide-awake brethren
on the other side of tho line operated a
iloublo schedule. They took federal con
tracts, and on the sly supplied the Confed
erntes for a heavy cash consideration. We
even had tho time and Inclination to smug
glo books through tho lines. Les Sllser

Willie in the White House.
If Clovland is married ho will bo the first
President married while In the White

president, and became president only by
tho death of Harrison. Slllliird Fillmore
married again, but It was after ho left the
White House, Cleveland and Buchanan
are the only bachelor presidents we havo
had, though the widowers hate been
numerous. As yet no president has had a
child born In the White House, and it may
bo that this honor is reserved for the pres
ent administration. "Carp" In Cleveland

An Illustration how great Issues may
depend upon Insignificant Incidents is fur
nished by n passage In the cureerof Prlnco

of tho duchy of Anhelt-Bernbourg re.
quested the Prussian government to name
