"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. Would we could say

"igcle the composer seems to have overshbt
his aim. in place of the Shakespearian intoxica
tion WWI with freshness, with youthful Inno
cence ard with poetry, he has bit upon the
harsh, almost savago note of maddened pasaion;
it is, in a word, realistic music; all. beauty, all
ideal conception vanish; a sensation painful and
of a secondary order takes their plat*. It such
loft situations, break our hearts if you will, but,
in the name of art, do not split our oars!"
lye may add, that in half-a-dozen auditions of
tits opera as presented under the control of Goa
mod bimself,tive were safely beguiled from this
inartistic impression, the situation being siived
by the chaste and classic manner of the prima
donna, Mme. Miolan-Carvalho.
This volume, destined to exist for many years
yet as the most compact, judicious and comprc
hensive authority on matters of musical history,
would in our opinion very safely bear an English
translation.
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.

was subsequently found to be too small. In 1834-
the congregation purchased a lot and belt
another edifice on Third street, 59 by 72 feet in
dimensions. In this they worshipped until a few
years since. when it was rebuilt and greatly ea
larged. This was the building recently destroyed

erecting the new one, the corner-stone of which
was laid yesterday afternoon.

Ms. IL T. 11713IDOLD:
Dear regard to the question asked me uto my
opinion about Buono, I would say that I have used and
sold the article In various forms for the past thirty years'
I do not think there to any form or preparation of It I
have not used or known to be used, in the varietal diseases
where such medicate agent would be Indicated.
You are aware. as well as myself. that it has been
extensively employed in the various diseased of the blad
der and kidneys, and the reputation it has acquired. in
my iiidgment, is warranted by the facts.
I have seen and used, as before stated, every form of
Boeur —the powdered leaves, the simple decoction, tine
tore fluid extracts; and I am not cognizant of any prepa
ration of that plant at all equal to yOura. Eighteen years
experience ought, I think, to give me the right to judge
of its merits, and without preludice or partiality, I give
yours precedence over all others.
I value your Buchu for its effects on patients. I have
cured with It, and seen cured with it, more diseases of
the bladder and kidneys than I have ever seen cured
with any other Buchu, or any other proPrietor9 compound
of whatever name.
