LINENS!
We bave i-eceived new Uncus from Belfast, Uarnslcy, Duntermlinc, Lisle,
Brussels, Ghent, Silesia, Bohemia. We have ransacked all Europe for linens,
and bare a variety of both fabric and finish that could net be gathered in the
American market. The goods arc fresh, tee. That's important ; for linens
bought in Naw Yerk may be several years old, and you knew starched linens
de net improve by age. The dressings used by the manufacturers is net se de
structive as starch ; but it docs injure the fabric in time. We have another
advantage in prices. We gain the importer's profit.
The result is we get the best linens iu the world, iu the best possible condi
tion, and for the least money anybody can get them for. We can give you
the importers' preGt, and still have enough left.
New it is proper for te consider that somebody else may be doing the same
thing, and afford the very same advantages. Se, if you please, whatever you
wish te buy get samples of it from us and from ethers, and compare.
Or buy our goods, if you like ; and if you can de as well elsewhere, bring
ours back. This is rather a brave challenge ; for, you knew nobody wants
remnants.
The linens new iu arc sheeting, pillow, bolster and shirting linens, towels,
tewclings, doilies, napkins, table cloths and table linens.

THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 19, 1881.
Burlesquing tkc Aesthetic.
Gilbert and Sullivan's New Opera.
Louden Telegraph. j,
Tbe play is in two acts, whereof tbe flffl
opens in the grounds of Castle Buntuernc,
antiVsbews us twenty young ladies in ;us ;us
thetic costume, each having a lute, man
dolin, or ether archaic instrument iu her
hand. The twenty " flop " and sprawl
and sing, for they ase all in love with Bun Bun
teornc, who heeds them net. The Lady
Angela, the Lady Saph:- and the Lady
Ella, flop, sprawl and siug mere than the
ethers, and their " Ah ! miserie !" early
English spelling, bas an acuter tone.
They imagine, peer things, that Bun Bun
tberne is " icy insensible ;" but tbe Lady
Jane declares that he wildly loves Pa
tience. Patience has never experienced
love, except love for an old aunt, and can
only say that, if it mean true happiness,
she bas observed that"' tbe truly happy
never seem quite well." Se, putting love
airily aside, the milkmaid chatters about
the instant arrival of the 35th Dragoon
Guards, whose officers were, a year age,
the lady-killers of Castle Buntbernc.
" Fleshly men of full habit," sneers the
Lady Sap' 'r ; " We care nothing for Dra
goon Guards," pretests the Lady Ella ;
and then the twenty languish away te sing
a morning carol te their Reginald.
Enter new a baud of stalwart and red
coated warriors, headed by Colonel Cal
vcrly and jlfcjer Murgatreyd. Their im
mediate mission is te supply " padding"
of the approved Gilbert ian pattern;
wherefore the Colonel sings a patter song
about " that popular mystery known te
the world as a heavy dragoon,'' and in in
treduces Lieutenant the Duke of Dunsta
ble, who has joined the army in tbe vaiu
hope of getting snubbed, and of seeing
reason te renounce an idea that meu arc
beru " bent at an angle of forty-five de
grees." This ever, Buuthurue, a "fleshly
poet," appears, escorted by the twenty
rapturous ones, in graceful precession.
Sill he heeds them net, but iu a frenzy of
inspiration writes thoughts they leug te
knew, while before this angular creature
in drab plush tbe wcll-sct-up soldiers are
nowhere. AH talk, or rather sing at
once. " Pity t'uose who leve in vaiu"
wail the maidens ; ' Pretty sort of treat
ment for a military man.' pretest the Dra
goons : Buuthorue ceniidcntiall y observing
"Though my book I seem te scan in a rapt
ecstatic way, I hear plainly all
they say." Further reproached by the
warriors, the Lady Jane speaks for self
and companions. Buuthorue has idealized
thcin all. " My eyes aie open : I despair
droopingly ; I am soulfully intense ; I am
limp and I cling."
Meanwhile Buntberne, tbe fleshly one
he leeks te scale seven stone at most has
finished bis poem. It is a " wild, weird,
fleshly thing," entitled "Hellew, Hellew,
Hellew," and expresses doubts whether,
seeing the intimate connection between
some of Nature's fairest things and
the pbarmacopfeia.sho is essentially poetic
or profoundly realistic. The twenty listen
in rapture. "It is purely fragrant," says
Angela. "Hew earnestly precious!" ex
claims Sapbir. This seals the fate of the
rejected dragoons. "Yen are net Em
pyrean. Yeu are net Delia Crusuan. Yeu
are net even Early English. O ! be Early
English ere it be tee late." The graceful
precession then moves off, and, first ex
pressing their disgusted sentiments in
song and chorus, the soldiers fellow, leav
ing Buntbernc alone. Buntberne here
owns te being an xsthctic sham. He has
no love for lilies, or dirty greens, net he !
but a great deal for Buntberne ; and
mcdiasvalism, including ".stained-glass
attitudes," pays. Te him presently comes
Patience, who, puzzled, hears talk of love,
" What is this love ?" quirics the dairy
maid, after sending Buutheruc discomfited
away. Enter Lady Angela te answer the
question. Love is " utter unselfishness ; "
whereupon,, fired by the description of .se
noble a passion, Patience will begin loving
at once. Then, as she calls te mind a little
baby boy crstwhile her cherished playmate,
a stranger appears. He is Archibald
Grosveuer, " an idyllic poet," and what is
mere te the purpose, he was once the baby
boy enshrined iu the mildmaid's memory.
The two recognize each ether and they
leve. But peer Patience who, as a slave
of duty, is tbe pctticeatcd double of the
apprentice iu the "Pirates of Penzance,"
recollects that love is " utter uusciiisu
ucss. " Archibald is " incomparably
beautiful iu miud and body," at any rate
he says se, and it would be selfish iu her
te monopolize such gifts. This " the
idyllic poet" admitting, the two excttut
despairingly in opposite directions.
Once mere enters the graceful proces preces
sion, te sound of pipe and tabor, the
Ladies Angela and Sapbir leading Bun Bun
teornc in flowery chains. The fleshly poet,
annoyed with Patience, bas put himself up
te be rallied for iu aid of a descrviug
charity, and the Dragoons aie iu despair.
One of the twenty will win, cue of the
soldiers definitely rise a loser from the
game of love. Tbey sigh, they kneel, they
weep ; but the maidens are indificrcnt, and
the let is about te be drawn when Patience
steps in. Leve is "utter unselfishness;"
she detests Bunthernc, therefore she will
marry him " A maiden who devotes her
self te loving you is prompted by no sel
fish view." "Exactly se," responds the
chorus, and the rejected twenty pair etf
with the dragoons vowing never mere te
leave them. At that unlucky moment
irresistible Archibald enters, drawing the
rapturous maidens around him, as a caudle
attracts moths. "Heis aesthetic," they
cry, and upon the renewed flopping,
sprawling and singing of the twentv. the
jealous fury of Buntberne, and the un-
utterauie disgust et the Dragoons, the
curtain descends.
We are next shown a rural glade, what
time Grosvcner and the rapturous ones
enact the scene previously played with
Bunthorne in the leading part. Archibald
is also in the frenzy of composition, but
being an idyllic poet, his theme is net colo celo cole
cynth and calomel. He sings rather of a
very bad boy, who went from bad te worse
till "he was lest totally, and married a
girl in the corps de bally." The maidens
adore the poem. "Marked you," says
one, "hew the damning catalegue of
crime stele en till Retribution, like a
poised hawk, came sweeping down upon
the Wrong-Deer?" At this point Archi
bald reminds his worshippers lhat tbey
have followed Mm about since Monday,
and, as it is Saturday, he would be glad
te enjoy "the usual half-holiday." They
see the force of this, consent te " close
early," and ee away in low spirits.
New comes Patience, the affianced of
Bunthorne. tearfully hoping that Gresvc
nor loves her as much as ever. He docs,
but discreetly retires en Reginald's ap
preacb, attended by the Lady Jane
"among the faithless faithful only she."
Buntberne is in bad case. The Latly
Jane pesters him, he is suspicious of
Patience, and irritated by his rival's suc
cess. At length he determines te encoun
ter Archibald boldly, and, backed by the
Lady Jane, beat him en his own ground.
I Bent upon this he gees off ; the Colonel,
the Majer and the- duke coming en. They
bave .for love!s sake turned .-esthetic ;
their hair is long, then- garments are
quaint, their attitude angular. " We are
net quite sure if all we de has the Early
English ring, But as far as we can judge
it's something like this sort of thing ;"
and the " sort of thing " answers its pur
pose by pleasing the Lady Angela and the
Lady Sapbir, who unexpectedly flop in
that direction. The Lady Saphir exclaims,
" Hew Betticellian ! Hew Fra Angeli-
can !" while the Lady Angela, admitting
that the military aesthetics are net "su
premely" right, pretests, "O! Saphir,
J are they net quite tee ail-but?" and
Saphir, allowing a trace of latent Philis
tinism te appear, answers, " They are in
deed jelly utter."
As all move away the
ground is left
open for the encounter of the rival poets,
aud it is at this point that Mr. Gilbert
draws most obviously upon his ballad
" The Rival Curates." It will be remem
bered hew the Rev. Clayten Heeper, of
Spifiton-cxtra-Seopcr, was a paragon of
mildness, till the Rev. Hopley-Perter, of
Asscsmilk-cum-Wertcr cut him out at the
game ; hew Mr. Heeper sent te Jlr. Por Per
ter threatening him with dire vcngcaucc
unless he " mere gayly bore him," and
hew, en receiving the message, Mr. Per
ter said, " Fer years I've longed for some
excuse for this revulsion ; New that excuse
has come I de it ou compulsion." As
with the rival clergymen, se with the
rival versifiers. Bunthorne swears te
" curse " Grosvcner unless he at once
cuts his hair, parts it behind aud be
comes commonplace. Appalled by the
threat, Archibald consents te trans
form himself into " a steady and stolid-y,
jelly Bank Holiday, Everyday -young
man," and gees off te de se, leaving Buu Buu Buu
thoreo dancing with delight, at which ex
ercise Patience discovers him. Bunthorne
amiable and happy, hew can Patience,
whose love is "utter selfishness," marry
him? It cannot be, and the match is
broken oft" forthwith. Meanwhile, Gm-s-vcuer
comes dancing back in a tweed suit,
followed by the twenty iu violent milliner's
apprentice attire. The maidens have fel
lowed him out of :csthuticism, but all te
no matrimonial purpose, for he being a
commonplace young mau, Patience can
love him, and docs se. New would Buu Buu
teoruc console himself with the lady Jane.
Alas ! the Dragoons appear, escorting the
Duke, who, resolved upon marriage, se
lects the only candidate that happens te lie
plain. The Lady Jaue promptly obeys his
call, aud, as the curtain drop.;, Bunthorne
pretests, il Single I must live and die ; I
shall be contented with a tulip or lily.
The strength of the composer
is net put forward at the outset. His in
troduction, for example, would, en ordi
nary occasions, pass unnoticed, and the
numbers immediately succeeding though
pretty, are net remarkable. When, how hew how
ever, we come te the Colonel's song about
the Heavy Dragoons, Mr. Sullivan's humor
flews iu a full stream, while the ensemble
for officers and ladies appears as a cap
ital example of its kind. Other noticeable
pieces are Buutherue's song. " If you're
anxious for te shine," with its delicate
and charming orchestration ; the duct for
Paticnce aud Angela. "Leug years age,
fourteen maybe," also beautifully scored ;
the charming madrigaliau dialogue,
" Prithee, pretty maiden," for Patience
aud Grosvcner ; a well-written sestet with
chorus, "I hear the soft note" ; Lady
Jane's mock sentimental ditty, " Silvered
is the raven hair," with its Handcliau reci
tative ; the spirited duct for Buntbernc
and Lady Jane, "Se go te him and say te
him," and its thoroughly funny companion
for Buuthorue and Grosveuer, " When I
go out of deer." Iu all these appear the
ideas and the baud of a musician who has
something te say aud knows hew te say it.
What though the work be net of au ex
alted kind ? Excellence consists largely
in fitness.
EXTRACTS FROM THE 1.1 IIRRTTO.
The colonel sings a song in reference te
bis uniform, one verse of which runs :
I naid, when 1 lirst put it en.
"It is plain te ihe veriest dunce
That every beauty
Will l'cel it her duty
Te yield te its glamer at once."
Bui the lieripatfctics
Ot long-haired iuslheties
Are very much mere te their lasle
Which I never counted uneii
When 1 llrst put this uniform en !
Iu a recitative Bunthorne ( alone ) ewt s
that he is "an aesthetic sham," the follow
ing song including a capital satire en me
dkeval aflcctatieu,' the icccipt for which
is :
Yeu must gel up all llicgcruisel the transcen
dental terms and plant them every
where Yeu must lie upon tliedaiiesaiid discourse in
novel phrases el your complicated slate
et mind.
The mean ing doesn't matter it itii only idle
chatter et a transcendental kind.
And every one will say
As you walk your mystic way,
" If this voting man expresses liiinsell iu
terms tee deep ferme.
Why what i very singularly deep young man
this deep young man mimt lie I"
The idyllic poet new enters, followed by
admiring maidens, each playing en an
archaic instrument, and begging him te
recite soma et his poetry, which he does
by declaiming
Gentle Jane was as geed as geld,
She always did as she was told,
She never spoke when her mouth was lull.
Or caught blue-bottles their legs te pull ;
Or spilt plum jam or her nice new lrnck.
Or put white mice in the eight-day clock.
Or rivisected her hist new dell.
Or lestercd a passion for alcohol.
And when alie grew up she was given in mar
riage Te a llrst-class carl who keeps his cairiagc!
This is followed by another recital :
Teasing Tem was a very bad boy ;
A great big squirt was Ids favorite toy ;
lie put live shrimps in his father's beets.
And sewed up the sleeves et his Sunday suits,
(etc.)
The duct in which Buntberne prevails
upon Grosveuer te abandon the simplicity
of testheticisin without en his side giving
up its gretcsqucness is, in a literary point
of view, perhaps the best thing in the
opera, Grosvcner, ou the point of commit
ting artistic and moral suicide, sins :
Conceive me, if you can.

The Aernial Schools.
ChatiibcHburs Repository.
The Nermal schools of the state are
asking for an appropriation of two hun
dred and sixty thousand dollars te liqui
date their indebtedness. There is also a
bill before the Legislature te appropriate
one hundred thousand dollars te assist in
defraying their ordinary expenses for the
next two years. As there are ten of them
in the state this is equal te an annual ap
propriation of live thousand dollars for
each school.
When this latter bill was under consid
eration in the Heuse one day last week,
Representative Hillis, of Bradford county,
made a florce attack en the Nermal school
system. He thinks while they have been
very expensive, they are mere ornamental
than useful and being bankrupt at present
they should be wound up like any ether in
solvent estate. The primary object of
these institutions, as Mr. Hillis remarked,
was te increase the supply of competent
teachers for the common schools. He
showed by statistics before him that they
had entirely failed in the purpose for
which they were created, and that tbe
number of scholars of the normal schools
who RnhsAnnnnttv heeama teacher is
comparatively small. They had seriously f
injured the old academies which bad
been productive of se much geed and
had supplied mere cempetant teachers in
greater numbers than had ever been fur
nished by the normal system. As they
profess te give a sort of quasi collegiate
ceurse they had also te some extent in
terfered with the prosperity of the col
legiate institutions of the state. Mr.
Hillis maintained that the common school
system should net aim at the higher
education of the masses and that
was net its original purpose, that
wheu the rudiments of an English educa
tien were guaranteed, the balance could
be safely left te individual effort aud en
terprise. Other schools that have te rely
entirely en their own resources have great
difficulty in competing with the nermals,
backed by the money aud power of the
state. Mr. Hillis in expressing these
views, reflects the 'sentiments 'of a large
portion of the community. Very little
faith is felt in the ability of tbe schools te
get along without the state appropriations
tbey have regurlarly sought, and it is
feared that if their whele indebtedness is
paid, they will be back te tbe next Legis
lature for further appropriations.
A Literary Ambassador.
James Russell Lewell presided at the
Literary Fund dinner, given in Londen
May 4th, and made what may be called
" the speech of tbb evening." There may
be English statesmen who would over
match the American minister in the crafty
art of diplomacy should an occasion arise
for calling their powers into play, but in
the pleasant pastime of proposing and
responding te complimentary toasts he is
abundantly able te held his own. His
speech en this occasion was especially fe
licitous, and he showed a familiarity with
the English poets aud humorists that must
have been alike surprising and flattering
te the literary men by whom he was sur
rounded. Fer graceful diction, subtle
touches of humor and a delicate apprecia
tion of the fitness of things, Minister
Lewoll's speech at the Literary Fund din
ner is net likely te be excelled by the best
effort any ene of the numerous able men
who are aspiring te his place. Writers of
stories aud works of fiction ou both sides
of the eccau will be greatly pleased with
this passage :
" Viscount Endlield, without intending,
I am sure, te be unflattering, told us just
hew that Macauley, in his political defeat
at Edinburgh, fell back upon literature.
Laughter. His words, I confess, re
mind me of the geed old English rhyme
4 When lands and goods are gene and spent.
Then learning is most excellent.'
Laughter. A few days age a very emi
nent literary man, speaking at another
dinner, said that literature had new be
come optional and science obligatory. He
took, I think, en the whole, tee despair
ing a view of the situation Ne man
who new writes English represents mere
precisely pure literature than the gentle
man te whom I refer cheers ; and I am
sure that wherever the English language
is spoken his books will stand side by side
with these of Huxley, Darwin, Tyudall
aud Mullcr, aud find quite as many read
ers, and give as much instruction and in
terest. It is impossible, as he wished te
de, te draw a straight line between tbe
imagination and the understanding. The
Hue must be a winding ene, with many
curves aud indentations, the ene territory
overlapping iu seme cases the ether.
Nothing is mere remarkable in the case of
many of the highest imaginations than the
ease with wnich they move from enu side
f the boundary te tbe ether.
Science can never extinguish imagination,
nor that thirst which human nature feels
for something mere juicy than facts are
apt te be. I think that as long as the hu
man race lasts wonder and delight in nat
ural things, which, perhaps, are net use
ful, and which are certainly net scientific,
will 1ms born into the world with every
child. Cheers. Wonder, which is the
raw material of every imagination, will
exist as long as the race exists. I de net
believe that imaginative literature will
ever become a thing of the past."
SCHtCHtiOHS.
" It is a remarkable step te tike," said
cx-Gev. Horatio Seymour, referring te the
resignation of Senators Conkling aud Piatt
and he. added : " It will show the people
that twenty years of license has brought the
Republican party dewu te a life and death
fight for the possession of a few miscrable
offices." Senater Conkling married a sis
