If Brunswick s deep will water cures rheumatism, as we arc In formed it does, who can say what a like well'a water in Darien would do.

Future Rewards nnd Punishments. Albany Newt. The doctrine of (nture rewards and pun ishments stands on unassailable grounds.

Some times on the stage, when I didn't have a helmet on, or something over my eyes, I •tw pillars Md things, but we all sang ju,t the same whether wa were In a tem ple, or in a drawing-room, or in a grave- yard.** ''But, confound It all, didn't you know whoee muiic you wera singing?^ “! girt you my laered word of honor, ■Ir, that 1 did not remember tome ct'O- Idgi which opera It was until I saw the name on a programme as I cams oat of the theatar.

Krery now and again w* would forget we were gen tlemen of the court Md march, too, and we would get confused about the operas and do the ‘KraanP business In 'Aida,' and ao on. ItaliM opera ia a great thing, but all tb* tool is given to the tenor, thu soprano, the baritone, the contralto Mil tha basso, Md the chorus bai non*. I don't believe the chorae In en ItaliM ope ra will evsr need to be saved. Sir, If yon want to (sal small and maan and utterly InsignificMt go end be a chorus singer there. In a comic opera a fellow hat a chance. He's generally mad* nsefni end cote tome kind of a figure; bat In Italian be it nobody and nothing. Ht it a role*, a noise; ha Is a machine, and when the leader tome the crank he squeaks. He, beano identity whatever.

How would yon teel if you bad to atMd np Md yell in a strange language—tn no language at “But you get applause ?*' “Do we? Did you ever see a chorus call- ed before the curtain and string tbem- •elres across the ettge? People applaud the four characters tn the front row, Md we come In to make a climax, bat we lev- *r get m eocore by onraetvee, do we? I with somebody would write an opera for tiie chorn and give us a chance. Bat no. 1 get four bits at night to be a noise, and Gisnntni gets the applause, the pay and theflowen.
