rilsw eurmivivalonis. "we LIT F-4 OF TILE 1'11U:001,1r. Alusici4f' CSelores,* M. Felix Clement has thought well to. prepare, in advance of the exhaustisd Dlctionnaire lyrigue Ili: tore des Opirus which he is now, with the assistance of M Pierre Larottsse,'Completing for the press, a less critical but more popular and personal work, devoted to the lives of the com posers Red the history of there artelevelopment - These biegraphies commence with the sixteenth century, isiMosOetore the technical part of the art had a history, with the names of the, Belgian Roland Lattre and of Falestrina ; and iaelude the latest achievements of =alai progress, the 'contested successes of Wagner at Leipsic and Munich, and at Paris the Handel of Thomas and the operatic farces of Offen bach. Five ' biographies are devoted to mere performers, but the 'most pedantic reader would hardly demand the exclusion of virtuosos so gifted and so anthentic ae Paganini, Viotti, Thalberg, Chopin and Llizt. We cant not omit an allusion to the portraits which em bellish this elegant volume., They include the likenesses of the most eminent musicians of an dent and cotemporery periods, executed in aqua lento with admirable fidelity from recon dite originals, and include besides a few facssinailes of rife engravings made with inevitable fidelity by the heliographic method. What a privilege it is, to take a single example, for the modern bOok-fancler to hold before his eyes a faultless copy of that delightful picture by desCarmontelle, wherein the child-Mo east le depicted, aged seven, seated at the harpsi chord, and accompanying his lather, who plays the Vitalffe 'and hls sister Marianne who already sings from the page at the age of eleven! It was at this epoch that the baby maestro, being picked up and caressed by the arch-duchess Marie An toSnette, afterwards the hapless Queen of France, said, 'You are good, I will marry you." "In .effect," says M. Clbment in his preface, "One could not conceive a Mozart cold, dry •r 'selfish, any more than a Haydn hypochondriac and 'without benevolence. It is rare indeed to find among the great composers the discord too often noted in ether kinds of art between 'the - work and the character. Schubert and Baal were -the best -of men. Palestri ea, AllegrOlereello, La lande, Clam ro sa, Zingarell Les uou r, ddhul, Bpo n tini were of elevated and religious opinions. Pic chi', Monsigny, Grdtry, Dal:Lyrae, Boiedieu, were gentle, feeling and obliging.. Why? Because music IS nothing imitative. it is a more direct emanation from the soul. The alliance of these virtues with genius or with distinguished talent is of gbod example. The spedtaclo has in it some thing beneficent. It does a little honor to hu T inanity and to the art we profess. In encourage and consoles both of them for plenty of defi ciencies." M. Clement omits from the little calendar of his saints the dry old dandy .Huber and the miser Rossini. In this rich collection of anecdotes and corn runts it is hard to turn a leaf without exposing seine interesting story or some sage opinion. The criticism is not elaborate, being a little out side the historic purpose of the book; but It is temperate, elSvated and - final; the last word to utter, after the claims have been balanced and all has bedn said but the decision of the moderator. It is fell of sympathy and warmth, as witness this appreciative and picturesque comment on the religious music of Palestrina "It is all harmony, equitibrinm,,balance; it is a perfect architecture. Listening to these accords, which follow each other so marvellously en chained among themselves, you forget the music. You see, as in vision, landscapes soft and far like those of Ruysderel or Breughel de Velours; finished pictures, revealing that adjustment at once learned, grandiose, cairn and serene, which Raphael has shown in his School of Athens, his Parnassus or his Dispute upon the Sacrament. Yon watch the strategic mancenvres of magnifi cent armies, boundless panoramas, facinating perspectives like those of Piranesi but then be sides, the tender soul may yield itself to be cradled in feelings that are humaue, pure, chaste and tranquil, like those of a saintly sympathy." As for the heavenly lifiserere of Allegri, so -watchfully guarded by the Roman Church, but on one occasion copied out by Mozart into the crown of his bat in the Sixtine Chapel itself, this cerement will suggest how muck of its effect is due to the situation in which it is gene rally heard, and to the traditional accentuation preserved at Rome alone, and not wholly trans ' miesible by notation: "Notwithstanding its simple construction, this fragment is nevertheless the most original of the epoch in which it appeared, thanks to the key of profound melancholy which controls it, td the acellent arrangement of the voices, and the per fect conformity of the musical expression with the sense of the text. Those who would com pletely appreciate its beauties should not listen to It in any profane region. It would be coldly heard in the concert-room. It is a church and the season of the Holy Week alone which har monize with the performance of this master piece.' In the embarrassment of not finding space for a fraction of that which we should like to quote rem this absorbing work, we are fain to make a clean leap over the whole Italian school,developed nom the church-mastere of the sixteenth cen tury, and plunge at once into what they call the "art of the future," the gospel which has Richard Wagner for its incarnation, and Liszt for its prophet. M. Cldment is shy of revealing his secret opinion, aware that Paris la in the attitude of a convert to Germanism, and, to say the least of it, curious, tractable, and receptive • in regard to the new dispensation. He therefore lets Herr Wagner speak • for himself, and quotes and quotes; but, though he cites with a disciplined meekness the passages in which the composer Inveighs against tunes and melodies, he is less tractable when be cornea the subject of the opera-libretto —a literary quesetion, in which ho casts himself -upon the great reading public for sympathy: "We find here," argues the biographer, "ideas erroneous or at least most questionable. Let them subvert the music for the sake of the story, let them make of the first the obedient humble *errant of the latter, very well! come writers may say: but still remains to know what kind of story it is which is the exclusive object of the predilections of the poet-musician of Leipsic. According to the reformer, one should represent -nothing upon the stage hut myths; but to such strange assertions there is more than one re joinder. At the outset, the myth is not the only form of the drama 'which is 'truly human.' Be aides, can one apply to myth the famous line of Terence?? Can one say that myth addresses itself to humanity at large r Homo sum, et nihil hu meral a me alienum puto. On the contrary,ia there not a kind of legend—most of them are perhaps of this sort—whieh ceases to bear an intelligible application when carried beyond the country where it' forma ? These objections have even struck M, do Gasperial himself, who, in esti mating the •theorielen in Wagner, has managed to keep in bounds his enthusiasm for the com poser,' We are compelled to clogs the book at last at the page which tells of the success of the Reeele ct Juliette of GOnnod, that exquisite garland of love-songs which Odom the stage of the Theatre Lyrique ei whole winter through, although niggardly impressarlos here will hardly grant it to us once in a lemon. The writer, it will be seen, can both praise and criticise : "We will recall briefly the chief beauties of the new Romeo. In the first act, a kind of choral prologue of an effect at once fresh and striking, which gives the spectator a foretaste, of the action; the ballad of Queen Mab, and te duet, unhappily curtailed, but of exquisite aensibility, between Romeo and Juliet. The quarrel-scene cud am chorus of Capniets and Montagues are of ficisbed beauty: dramatia force,trne declamation, melody well matched with the situation, all la tornmendable in the scene.

OITY BIILLETII4, GOOD FRIDAY.—To-day is Good Friday, and is called so in allusion to the benefits conferred on the world by the death of the Saviour. The Sax ons Darned it "Long Friday," because of the pro tracted religious services on that day; and the Germans term it Stiller...Freitag on account of the solemn silence observed in the churches, or Char-Freitag,from an antiquated word signifying penitence. - During the first three or four cen turies of Christianity, it was call the "Pasch," because then Chrmt, the Paschal lamb,was slain. Its celebration in the Early Church was pectillar and attended with elaborate rites. Good Friday is the only day of the year on which mass is not celebrated in the Roman Catholic Churches. A host is consecrated the day before for use on this day, and having been placed over night in a repository generally erected for the purpose in a chapel or part of the chura, is carried to the main altar and consumed by the priest. No consecrated wine is used, nor are the customary lights, incense and music em ployed. The ceremony of kissing the cross,. some times called "adoration of the cross," is per formed by the clergy and people on their knees. In acme countries an image of Judas Iscariot was dressed up on this day and subjected to every indignity. In the north of England it is cus tomary to eat on Good Friday herb puddings, in which aprincipal ingredient is the "passion dock," which, in fructification, produces fancied representations of the cross, hammer; nails, etc. A better Ith — owrnaractiee is that of serving ."hot cross buns," which a popular ss perstition holds to be - preservatives against, lire and other disasters. Services appropriate to the day were held In the Episcopal Churches this morning, as well us in the Roman Catholid Churches. EXTENSION OF AN OLD zSTADT.IOII3IENT.—We desire to call the special attention of the readeis of the 13ULLETIN to the announcement of Mr. James McMullen, in another column. Mr. Mc- Mullen, who has been so long and favorably known to 'the public as an importer and dealer in linens and housc-furnishinegoods, at Seventh and Chestnut streets, has opened a new store. No. 1128 Chestnut street, where he offers an en tirely new stock of goods in his peculiar line. Mr. McMullen possesses unequaled facilities for procuring linens direct from the-European ma ' nufacturers and he is enabled to offer unusual advantages to purchasers, from thefact that he buys only from first hands. ills long experience in this species of dry goods, and his knowledge of the exact wants of his Customers, enable him to select a choice stock of linen fain les, and to afford a variety of all grades and styles from which to choose. The immense increase in Mr. McMullen's business is the surest guarantee that the public appreciate and have confidence in his taste and in his liberal method of doing business. He will still continue to keep open his old store at Seventh and Chestnut streets, but the new one further west, will contain an equally fine stock. and one from which ladies who do Dot care to come down town will be enabled to procure pre cisely what they want. Tillt NATIONAL. PHOTOGRAPHIC CONVENTION.- The photographers of the United States held a convention in New York this week, and an otli• cial notice from the officers will be found in onr advertising columns today. Photography being one of the most useful and progressive arts, the convention deserves all success in its under takings. Photography has been continually hampered by patented processes, &c., patented In the early days of the art, and it is to resist the growth of such that the permanent organization will be formed. Photographic exhibitions are to be held also every year, and we believe the whole proceedings will tend to elevate and improve photography all over the country.

Paidiors , Orphans at lieliont Springs• To the .Editor of tin Evening Bulletin:—A school for "Soldiers' Orphans' " has lately been opened at Yellow (Chester) Springs, Chester, county, under the management of Professor Chas. W. Deans. It now numbers one hundred and thirty beneficiaries, who, besides enjoying a de lightful /kme in this garden spot of Chester Valley, are being properly educated and oared for by competent teachers and employes in the vari ous branches of knowledge. About forty acres of ground have been purchased, with all the build ings, which constituted the famous Yellow Springs property, with all its valuable water and bathing privileges. These have all been thrown open to the soldiers' ,orphans, and they are richly enjoyed by them. The school is accessible from Plitenixville by the. Reading railroad, being but forty miles distatit from Philadelphia. It is in tended to make this school the principal,one in tho•easteMt pot of the tiltits,because of its acces sibility, its beauty of landscape, its water.

We discovered that al though lie was but fourteen years of age, he had but lately joined the Methodist church, and that he intended devoting himself to the ministry of Christ. This one instance proves the blessing the sellools are destined to be to future generations, besides the good they are now ac complishing in aiding those who, in the provi dence of God, are unable to help themselves. Our earnest prayer is that those having the oversight of these &We beneficiaries may be sensible of the responsibility that rests upon them, •to be faith ful in their trust and earnest in doing all in their power towards properly educating these youths tor usefulness in this world and happiness in the world to come.
