G? AMUSEMENTS. With the performance last evening the . 80 called week of music, or 'musical carni- j val came to a close. The venture, we re- . gret to learn, has not been a financial suc cess. Candor also compels the statemeit I that it has not been the artistic success j that was anticipated. The two simon pure concert nights, though introducing two of the most famous college glee clubs in the country, and M'lle Litta, Sali, Oikford, Butler, Baldanza, Montegriffo, Gottschalk, Berghy, Hall, McWade and Barnes as soloists, Sternberg as the pianist and accompanist, and M'lle Manty as the violinist, and though introducing a num ber of gems, evoked but little enthusiasm, the first night falling very flat, even the Church Choir company was also disap pointing except in the prssentation of Pa tience, in which they achieved one of their eld time successes, the representation being wonderfully smooth and even, and bringing out the beauties of the opera in a most marked manner. The three clos ing performances in which selections w»ra given from the operas of Carmen, Faust. Trovatore, Martha, Daughter of the Regi ment and Lucia, were by far the most en joyable of the events of the week, but even then they have left behind a feeling of disappointment or dissatisfaction. This, too, although there is great unanimity in awarding high praise to the artists who took part in " their representation. Especially can this be said of Hauk and Litta, who sang and acted their parts will. Sali, Baldanza, Monte griffo, and Gottschalk are also worthy of praise for their faithful and creditable work, while the big combination orchestra nn.i'.r the leadership of Max Meretzek did fairly well. In short, the fault was not with the artists, but rather with the character of the entertainment offered. In this there was no misrepresentation or attempt to deceive on tho part of the man agement, but thi fact remains that t_te public expected to see something more than they got. They wero looking for Italian opera—not evidently stopping to think that with three or five voices, unac companied by. chorus and lack ing the swiftly changing scenas and characters, such a thing was an impossibility. the music was in the main of a high order, but it was not opera, and thus tho disappoint ment. Two performances were given yesterday, nfterneon and evening. The matinee was attended by a large and appreciative audi ence. Parts of three operas were given, viz: The second act of Carmen, third act of Trovatore, and the spinning-wheel scene from Martha. In the first, Minnie Hauk repeated her triumph of the night before. In Trovatore she also sang and acted admirably, but the success of the act wis achieved by Signorina Sali in the .rendition of the duet with Baldanza of Azuzena, when she was the recipient of a determined encore which was honored by its repetition, at the close of which the curtain was rung up after being dropped,; in response to the hearty applause. Bal danza afforded her most excellent support, adding materially to tho good impression he has made. The cast for Martha was M'lle Litta, Miss Oakford and Signors Montegriffo and Bereghy, all of whom gave their parts most acceptably, Idle Litta being especially hippy. fc> The last, and probably the most meri torious entertainment given at the Opera house during the week, was the one pre sented last night, on which occasion the whole strength of 1...0 Opera company ap peared. The entertainment was one of the grandest ever given in St. Paul, and never iwas equaled here except by the -Strakosoh organization two years ago. Tiie audience was not as large as on the previous night, which was a sur prise to everybody. Miss Hauk appeared in Don Giovanni, and th. Daughter of the Regiment, and Mile. Litta appeared in tho first and second act of Lucia; Miss Hauk with hor rich and clear voice, .-?ang with telling effect in the great creation of Mozart, and was sprightly, vi vacious and charming in the other parts.. The grand culmination was the praseata tiqit of Lusia, in whicli Litta displayed to great advantage her powers of vocaliza tion. There was no end to the enthusiasm, and eve:} body was called before the cur tain again and again. It v/as a very fit ting close to the week's entertainment, and left a very pleasing effect. There is nothing booked for ihe Opera house this reek, but the following week is all taken up but one night, the Kiralfy Brothers Black Crook combination having the first three evenings, and the Madison Square Hazel K;rke organization the last two evenitigs of the week and Saturday afternoon matinee. Note for Our St. Paul Institution. Those who remember what the St. Paul Choral society has done already, and who have heard the rehearsals for the last five weeks and will look over the programme given below, will not think it presumptu ous for that society to announce its fourth and last concert of the season right at the end of a week of varied musical attrac tions st the Opera house, and to claim that it will give an entertainment equal in its performance, though unlike in kind, to any one of those.lt will bejless fragmentary than most of them, and as good in its way as good voices, with skill and intelligence, when well directed, can make it. The concert will be given in Music hall because the Opera house, after the asso ciate members have selected the seats to which they are entitled, does not contain enough good seats for those who wish to attend this concert though not a?soc ate members. The following is the programme as far as it is now completed: 1. OvertureMeny Wives of Windsor. .Nicolai a ( Sweet and Low Barnby 2. Part Songs— -j 6 ( Drops of Bain Lemmens 3. Piano Solo—Ballade Chopin Mrs. Jilson. 4. Contralto Solo — (Not yet given,) 5. String Quart.t —"Die Schoena Muellerin" Half Hr Muhleubruch and the Jennison Brothers. 6. Soprano Solo(Not yet given.) a 1 Prauemerie Schumann 7. • * c ( Minuet Bocchorini 8. Stabat Mater ....Ro^ini In this last composition, whioh wiil oc cupy nearly an hour in perform auce, thare are: 1. Chorus with solo phrases. 2. Tenor solo. 8. Duet for sopranos. 4. Bass solo. 5. Chords and recitative (without accom paniment. ) 6. Quartet. 7. Contralto solo. 8., Soprana solo and chorus. 9. Quartet (without accompaniment.) 10. Finale chorus. The solos will be rendered by Miss Koontz, Mr. Dorgan and Mr. DeLacey, and a con tralto from the singers at the recent fes tival, the one who was first engaged being : at this time indisposed and unable to rehearse, another selection may have to be made. The orchestra will consist of four first violins, three second, three viola?, tbfee cellos, and three contra-bases, and wind-instruments, to bring the total, in ' cluding timpain, up to thirty. No orches | tra so strong in strings has yet been heard 1 in the state, and the weakness of strings is a more serious defect than the absence of .* some particular instrument altogether. The society will, it is expected, repeat the same concert in Minneapolis on tha 18th, if the Opera house can be engaged. Turner Hall. It has already been announced that Mr. Seibert has made an arrangement with Mr. Bach's orchestra so that he is onabii-1 to give a grand combination concert to night at Turner hall by the members of j Seibert'a and Bach's orchestras. This for- j lunate combination enables Mr. Seibert to present in a superior manner a higher or der of music and in a better style. Among the selections will be given the beautiful overture to William Tell, a selection front Iolantha. and the ever charming Lohen grin by Wagner, a clarionet solo by a member of Bach's orchestra, and a cornet solo. The vocal solos will be furnished by Mr. Giesen and Mr. Buckelew. It will be a grand occasion. "The Musical Carnival." To the Editor of the Globe. The 'musical carnival" is over, and it is reported on the streets that the manager? of the series of entertainments given dur ing the prist week are out of pocket to a considerable amount. For one I am glad that the infliction is over. It was a fatal mistake to dole out the warmed-over vict uals left from a Minneapolis feast to a St. Paul public with expectation of deriv ! pnblic with the expectation of deriv ing a profit therefrom. I do not think I am hypercritical. I do not expect that we in St. Paul will be fav ored with as perfect musical entertain ments as the larger cities in the East can boast, but I do most emphatically object to the assumption that was made only too manifest this week that St. Paul people are a set of idiots incapable of discern ing between the good and the indifferent, the indifferent and the positively bad in music. Maretzek, Blakely, F033 et al. seem to have proceeded, in their arrangement of the "carnival" — heaven save the mark—hero upon the hy pothesis that anything was good enough for the barbarians in this northwestern metropolis. That they have learned their mistake to their cost is certain!}-graliiy ing. The "carnival" began with a conoert by the Oberlin glee club, a lot of callow youths with passable voices and little training who might serve acceptably as a chorus fora barn-storming opera compauy. They drew a paltry two hundred peov-le, who paid a first class price of admission, and finding the entertainment poor com pelled the boys to make up in quantity what they lacked in quality. Sandwiched between their numbers were a few songs by professional artists of greater or less merit. The best of these —and this i- not high raise— wax IfeWede, a young and ambitious singer with a good voice, poor training, and ;:u indifferent method. His Kntious singer with a good voice, poo; ning, and an indifferent method. Hie painstaking efforts to please are his chief redeeming quality. Tuesday night was a repetition of the previous one, with the exception that the Amherst glee club took the*place of the Oberlin amateurs. Suffice it to say that those who paid their money had occasion to wish it back in their pockets. On Wednesday the well- .vorn "Pinafore" was given for a matinee entertainment, and the mawkish offspring of aistheticism, "Patience," for the evening. The Chicago Church Choii company rendered both with general acceptance, although it was nctiibly weak in some important and essential par ticulars. The performances were credit able for their evenness and for tho good discipline cf the chorus, especially the ladies, who possess fresh, pare, musical voices, that were particularly enjoyable in "The Chimes of Normandy" was given on Thursday evening, and it is safe to say li__,tthe bells of<Oorneville never rang such discord since the original Ga.=-pard played he ghost in the old castle of tha Count de Lucinay. The only marvel i- t.atan. part of tho audience could endure the ;:gouy until the finish. But tho greatest fraud of the entire week vi';w the three performances of "grand Italian opem," heralded as the greatest event of the century in this benightc-d re gion, with Minnie Hauk and Marie Litta as the bright particular bars, and Gotts chalk, Baldanzi and Ifontegrifl as supporting attractions. Be it known in the first lace that (.'.'.me Hauk is a star of the sixth magnitude, who. sines her return from Eu rope some Hit- years ago has never been able to procure an engagement from a Srst-eltiss impressario. She has a passa ble voice ana one role, that of Carmen. When she hns appeared in that she has ex hausted her capacity as an artist. he sings at other things, but that is all. Litta is no star at all. She has a voice suitable for a parlor concert, but when she essays anything more ambitious she fails miser ably. I regret to say this of a deserving and industrious woman,- but the "manage ment" that has s® outraged the public by misrepresenting her is responsible^ not I. Gottschalk is in bad voice, and the rest of the cast; if cast it can be called, was of tha most mediocre description if we except Baldanzi, who had evidently imbibed the idea of the "management" that the people of St. Paul were musical heathens, and tang accordingly with the utmost careless ness. But we were promised opera, and Italian opera at that! What did we get? Frag ments of acts, mutilated beyond recog nition, the singers absurdly and shabbily costumed, a part singing in Italian, a par; in English, and a part in German. It was Italian opera only so far as the prefixes to the names of the singers are concerned. It was opera in no sense what ever. It did not even rise to the dignity of operatic concert, for it lacked the rica appointments that usually surround such entertainments. Indifferent a3 are the capabilities of Hauk and Litta, they did not do themselves justice. Hauk acted well in "Carmen." The character is her second self, and she cannot help acting it well, but the fragments given were abom inably unsatisfactory. * • Now, Mr. Editor, I think it is about time that the press and the public should put the stamp of their disapproval npon such "snide" exhibitions as have been given during the past week. St. Paul always I patronizes ' deserving musical entertain ments.' and the beggarly audiences that : havo greeted the "carnival" attest the fact; that our people will not support bad en tertainments. It is safe to say that the '•carnivaf' managers will never again at tempt to ran* a sideshow to the Minne apolis ciieii, but all others should have due v.arr^-.g that if they advertise grand Italian opera here they must give it. As for giee clubs, if we want any of their music we have home talent enough to or ganize one ofja better character than either Amherst or Oberlin. W. I. M. New l*ap«r for Milwaukee.

In George W. Cable's picturesque paper, in the April Century, on "Plotters and Pirates of Louisiana," occurs the following description of the chiefs of the pirates of Barataria: Much ink has been spilled from that day to this to maintain that they sailed under letters of marque. But certainly no com mission could be worth tho unrolling when carried by men who hid removed them selves beyond ill the restraints that even seem to distinguish privateering from piracy. They were often overstocked with vessels and booty, but they seem never to have been embarrassed with the care of prisoners. There lived at this time, in New Orleans, John and Pierre Laflitte. John, the younger, but more conspicuous of the two, was a handsome man, fair, with black hair and eyes, wearing his beard, as the fashion ws.-?, shaven neatly back from the front of hi:3 face. His manner was generally cour teous, though he was irascible and in graver moments somewhat harsh. He spoke fluently English, Spanish, Italian, and French, using them with much affa bility at the hotel whore he resided, and indicating in the peculiarities of his French, his nativity in the ciiy of Bor deaux- The elder brother wasa pea-faring man and had served in the French nary. He appears to have been every way less showy than the other, but beyond doubt both men were above the occupation with which they began life in Louisiana. This was the trade of blacksmith, though at their forge, on the corner of St. Philip and Bourbon streets, probably none but slave hands swung the sledge or shaped the horse«hoe. It was during the embargo, enforced by the Unite-. 1 States government in 1808, that John Lafitte began to bo a merchant. His store was in Royal street, where, behind a show of legitimate trade, ho was busy run ning the embargo with goods and Africans. He wore the disguise carlessly. He was cool aud intrepid and had only tl.e courts to evade, and his unlawful adventures did not lift his name from the published lists of managers of society balls or break his acquaintance with prominent legislators. *** * * * >.: ■% John and Pierre Lafitte became tho com mercial agents of the "privateers." By and by they wore their actual chiefs. They won great prosperity for the band; prizes were rich and frequent, and slave cargoes profitable. John I^afitte did not at this time go to sea. He equipped vessels, sent them on their cruises, sold their prizes and slaves, end moved hither and thither throughout the Delta, administer ing affairs with boldness and sagacity. The Mississippi's "coasts" in the parishes of St. James and St. John the Baptist wore often astir with his known presence, and his smaller vessels some times pierced the interior as far as Lac des Allemands. Be knew the value ot popular admiration, and was often at country balls, where he enjoyed the fame of great riches and courage, and seduced many of the sim ple Acadian youth to sail in his cruises, Hie two principal captains were Belcehe and Dominique You. '-Cap tain Dominique" was small, graceful, fair, of -i. pleasant, even attractive face, and a skillful sailor. There were also Qambi, a handsome Italian, who died only a few years ago at the old pirate village of Cheniere Camiuada; and EUgoolt, a dark Frenchman, whoso ancient house still stands on Grande Isle, the island next to Grande Terre on the West. And yet again Johns and Johannot, unless which ap pears likely — these were only the real names of Dominique and Beluche. Metaphor III Oil'/ the Indians. [Chicago Eye.] The Indians more than any nation, make uso of metaphor in their speech. An Indian squaw was one day scolding a little papoose. The brave, the father of the lad, turned upou her reprovingly and said: "Tahita, use not such big words. Hi* ears ari very s/riall'" The clergyman who has charge of the In dian reservation on Walpele -■•■land in the St. Clair river, told as the following atieo dote: He had, from long residence with the people, become so accustomed to the alle gorical style of speech that he generally used it when addressing them. When a squaw went to live in the hut of her brave it had been the habit of her friends to bring her to him to receive ad vice as to bet future conduct. He resided at a village on the American side of the river, and one day a young squaw was brought to his house for that purpose. This was the advice he gave her. He said, pointing to the clock in the tower of the village church: "Be like that clock; and not like it! "Be like it, in being always on time — always regular, never too fast or loo slow. "Bo not .like it in wanting to be heard all over the village." He said: "Be like the echo, and not like the echo. "Be like the echo, in ever giving back a soft responsenever too loud and boister ous, never sullen and glum. "Be not like the echo in always wanting to have the last word." If tho Indian maiden followed his ad vice she was a crown to her husband. T.sti'jirn't Coming Riettl. I Chicago Letter in Courier-Journal.] It is unpleasant 15 think that she has made so ill advised a move, but when Mrs. Langtry signed that thirty-three weeks' contract with Adonis Gebhardt she certain ty had not heard about Theresa Sturlatta. The latter lady will outrival and outshine the Langtry as a theatrical star next season. She is at present a recluse, and has not the same immediate advantage of public note, but she possesses elements of popularity of a grade or two higher, money value, than the Lily. Sturlatta is the fair Italian girl who murdered her "man," Charles Stiles, the board of trade "caller," at the Palmer house last snmmer. She is a more beautiful woman; a smarter woman; is more thoroughly ac complished. She was never the favorite of the Prince of Wales, but she killed her man beautifully, and has had the demi :nun.le of the continent figuratively at her feet. Besides this she has a great advan tage over Gebhardt's inamorata. The lat ter is shunx-od by the best society. The best society of Chicago received Sturlatta with open arms. The little Italian beauty is at present wintering at Joliet term was but one short year — she is en gaged "on socks." However, on the au thority of the distinguished Trade, she is bravely studying for the stage, and is be ing kept supplied with all necessary liter ature a.7.-1 general aids. It will be a little late in the reason when she steps upon the ' boards, b:it when she xdoes the crowds will j forget there ever was a Langtry, and right : for seats nearest the radiant presence of j the Sturlatta. :i~: Orijiti'j At-- Hi i-rant rga it Passion Play l'i. H. in the April Century.} The antagonism and enlightenment of lite reformation did not reach the Bavari an peasant: did«ot so much as disturb his reverence for the tangible tokens and pre sentations of his religion. He did not so much as know when miracle plays were cast out and forbidden in other countries. In Chester, England, one of their early strongholds, they were played for the last time in 1574. and a curious old chronicle, written twenty year3 later, and still pre- 1 served in Chester, says that this last per- j formance of them took place: ' "Sir John Savage Knight, being Mayor of Chester, which was the laste time they were played, and we praise God, and praye that we nee not the like profanation of Holy Scripture; but O, the mercie of God for the time of our ignorance!" But it was sixty-one years later than this that the Oberammergau people, stricken with terror at a plague in their village, knew no better device to stay it than to vow to God the performance of a play of the divine passion of Christ. It is as holy a thing to the masses of them now as it was then, and no one can do justice to the play, even as a dramatic spectacle, who does not look at it with recognition of this fact. v Alex. If. Stephens' Religious Belief, [Atlanta Constitution.] A few moments after death had taken place some one remarked on the calmness and tranquility with which Mr. Stephens had faced it from the first. Dr. Steiner said: "Sach a man as Mr. Stephens could have faced any sort of death with perfect calmness/' Some one asked about his religious be ef. Dr. Steiner said: "I was with Mr. Stephens several years ago when he was very low —he thought he was dying and I was very fearful. I was going to Augusta for the night when be stopped me. He said 'doctor, I want you to see me die. Except Toombs and my family I think more of you than of any man on earth. I want you with me when I die.' I agreed to stay with him. Shortly afterward Dr. Irvine came in. He said: 'Mr. Stephens I will go out and see Harry and his family, and when I come back, if you have no objection, I will read a chap ter in the Bible, and wo will haye a prayer.' Mr. Stephens said quickly: " 'I do object and most decidedly. I have no objection to prayer, for I believe in it, but I do object to death-bed repent ance. I have made it the rule of my life to live each day as if it were going to be my last. In the heat of politics I may have sometimes forgotten myself,bnt I am no better to-day on my deathbed than I have tried to be every day of my life, and I have no special preparations to makeand no special pleas to offer.' "That was Mr. Stephens' creed and be lief. I heard him say on another occa sion, 'Real prayer means to throw your self at the feet of Jesus Christ and to pray trustinjjly. My prayer is the Lord's prayer and tho publican's prayer.' Mr. Stephens' creed was simple, but it would have suf ficed to have carried him without a tremor through the most terrible death struggle. It was the rale of his life to live every day as if it were to bo the last." "Bough on Corns." Ask for "Bough on -Corns." 15c. Quick •elicf; complete, pennaEe.it cure. Corns, warte, lUBJOUS.
