visit, anil ao *n, until, in despair. Hop
Sing determined to have the street re
paired at his own expense. The work
was satisfactorily completed.
The surprise of Hop Sing was only
equaled by hla Indignation when, on
awaking one morning, he found a gang
of coolies upheaving the newly flagged
atreet. His aurprlse grew when he
heard from the tug tularin's own lips
that the men were *hwr* m his orders,

Mozart, being once on n visit at Mrti>
nellies, went incognito to bear the per¬
formance of bis “Villnnella Itapita.”
He bud reason to be tolerably well
satisfied, till, in the midst of the prin
clpal aria, the orchestra,, through some
error in the copying of the score,
sounded a D natural where the com
poser had written It sharp. This sub¬
stitution did not injure the harmony,
hut gave a conmiouplace character to
the phrase, ami obscured the sentiment
of the composer.
Mozart no sooner heard It than he
started up vehemently, and, from tin;
middle of the pit. cried out in a vdea
of thunder: “Will you play D tmarp,
you wretches?"
The sensation produced In the th -atec
may be imagined. The actors were
astounded, the lady who was singing
stopped short, the orchestra followed
her example, and the audience, with
loud exclamations, demanded the ex
pulsion of the offender. He was nc
cordlngly seized, and required to uantu
himself. He did m, and at the name*
of Mozart the clamor subsided, and
was succeeded by shouts of applause
from nil sides.
It was insisted that the opera should
be recommenced. Mozart was Install¬
ed lu the orchestra, and directed thq
whole performance. This time tin; T)
sharp was played in Its propei, place,
apd the musicians themselves were
surprised at the superior effect pro
duced. After the opera .Mozart was
conducted In triumph to Ids hotel. ,

Too Much flurnfi*
Charles Mackoy once told this story
In connection with a Burns memorial:
Mackay had promised to collect .sliil
lings for some monument to the honor
of Burns, and lit* applied with confi¬
dence for a subscription to an Eng¬
lishman who had represented >n parlia¬
ment for many years u certain Scot¬
tish borough.
"No,” said Mr. Portoecue Harrison.
“1 am no longer in parliament, ami l
have now much pleasure In refusing
to subscribe the shilling which in
former days 1 should have been
obliged to give. What I have suffered
through Burns heaven alone can
tell! First. 1 had to praise hint to the
most fulsome manner, without hav.ug
read Ills works. Then 1 had to learn
to recite portions of his poems by
heart, ahd in doing so to give the
versos as much as possible with a
Hcotch accent. 1 have had to walk
without my bat and with the rain
pouring down upon my unprotected
head as leader of a procession In hon¬
or of Burns, and under these ctrcum
Btances I refuser with genuine delight
to give n shilling or any smaller sum
to the object you have lu view.”
