I do not write for the press, but for the public, who will sup port me if my work is good or who wgl fcxeculo me if_ It Is not. I do not care for aught else.” M. do Novers thus de¬ scribes Verdi's attitude at a dress re¬ hearsal of "Otello" in I’nris, when tbe press was present against his wishes: ‘‘The critics were ai) placed in the eorbellle of the amphitheater, some t vn rows of stalls having been cleared awny to make room f,.r a table and chairs for Verdi, Boi! > and the direr t ors. MM. Snrdott, Mellhae, Ilalevy, Obln, the director of lint 1 arts, and two or three dignitaries ami officials of the Opera sat behind i:i the remaining rows of stalls. Among tin; critics were MM.

Til? j horse turned out of the road, aud the ; sulky ran over a sapling and was tilted go as to arouse the judge. When lie found that he could move neither to right nor left, an old negro, who bad come along, solved the diftlcuUy. “Jly old marstex;.” he asked, "what fer you don't back your horse?” "That’s true,” said the judge, and be acted ns advised.
