Beadtngof the occurrence, an amdoos father in Sharon, named Seaborn, had the remains disinterred, became thorouhly satisfied that they were those of his remaining- son, and buried them at Sharon, Aug.

En ef the Long Strike. The long strike of the iron-workers is over, and, for the first time in the history of the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers, they have suffered defeat A Piktsburgh dispatch of Sent 19, says: Three district meetings of the Amalgamated Association were held to-day at Pittsburgh, Wheeling and Xonngstown. At the Pittaburgh meeting, presided over by President Jarrett, the discussions were long and at times acrimonious, many delegates holding out for the oompromlse proposition agreed

upon at the last mooting, but it was evident from the first that a majority favored a square back-down and resumption at the old seale. Amid much excitement and confusion the vote wae taken on tlie proposition to declare the strike off, and It was carried by 81 to 87. The outcome of the meeting gives great satisfaction to the business community, as there is no doubt the mill-owners win readily agree to pay the old price for puddling. Some of the mills will start this week. At the Toungstown meeting Ytae President Sharon presided. Every lodge in die district except two was represented. On the first ballot the vote showed only eight delsgates out of sixty opposed to resuming- work at the old aerate, 5.W. Later these etoht reconsidered their action and made the vote unanimous to resume. At Wheeling the contest between those in favor of holding out and those an -dona to issiiiM at the old rates was very bitter, and for a long tano the result was doubtful After a long discussion the vote was taken, showing a majority of one in favor of breaking the strike. The mills at Wheeling will tart as soon as possible in a week at the farthest President Jarrett to-night officially declared the strike off. His words are: "Gentlemen of the Amalgamated Association, the strike is ended. " .Fe-reix-e lavala-ratto.

HBBKASI DKXOCBAW. The Dortoet-atto State Cortvertfcldft Of Nebraska, which contorted at Omaha, was presided Over by (Jen. it Monigo-nerft of Lincoln, and D. W. entails. Of Fromont, performed the functions of Secretary. Hon. John Starling Morton, of Otoe county, was nominated for Governor; J. F. Warron, of Dakota county, Lieutenant Governor; C. L. Bowlby, of Salinu countyi Secretary of State; P. D. Sturtevanb. Fillmore otluHty, Treasurer; Charles Leech, Johnson county, Auditor; J. C. Crawford, Cuming county. Attorney General; Charlos A. Spolce, Platte county, Superintendent of Publio Instruction: Ifcnry Grebe, Omaha. Commissioner of Public Linda and Buildings. The following platform was adopted: The Democrats of Nebraska, In State Convention assembled, at Omaha, this Mth day of September, 18S1, hereby de-dare: 1. The Government of the United 8tates has no constitutional or other right to impose taxes on the people, except with the Intent and resultof getting money into tho publio treasury with which to pay the debts and provide for the common defense and general Welfare Of the United States. The tariff tax called protective, laid with far different intent and result, should be abolished. The Democrats of Nebraska challenge their political opponents in this State to a general discussion of the above propositions, and to an unequivocal statement of the position of the Republican party of Nebraska upon the question of reckless protective tariff. SL The squandering in the recent Htver and Harbor bill, in star-route fraudulent contracts, in the payment of alleged secretservice detectives, in the Hubbell 3-per-cent assessments, in the multiplication of salaries

' and perquisites for the unnumbered and I almost-Innumerable swarm of ofticohohlars, i and hi other visible corruptions of tlie neo-

ple's money which does reach the national treasury, deserve tho immediate and emphatic condemnation of the people. 3. The State of Nebraska, in common with other States of the Union, has and exercises the right of renlatiiur the sole of intoxicating drinks in the interest of good order within the State, bat the prohibition of the manufacture raid sale of such drinks within the State is contrary to the fundamental rights of the individual, and to the fundamental principles of eooial and moral conduct, and if enacted Will be neutralized by the constitution of the United States, which permits tlie introduction to every State of foreign liquors imported from abroad, and controls also every form of inter-State commerce. 4. Corporations, whether in the form of banks, manufacturiiig establishments or railroads, must keep their hands off from the reserved rights of the people. The Democrats of Nebraska denounce all railroads within the State whloh elect or attempt to elect, which influence or attempt to 'influence, delegates to political conventions, members of the Legislature, Senators or members of Congress. Corporate capital as such must not be permitted thus to encroach upon popular rights. We assert the right of the Legislature to control the railroads. We deny the right of the railroads to control the Legislature. 5. We demand the enactment. of a law whloh shall, under nevore ponalti38, forbid the issuance of passes or free transportation of any kind whatsoever by any rath- nad in Nebraska to any person holding either an elective or appointive office, or any other official position under the constitution or laws

of this State. & Finally, the Government, whether of the State or of the United States, is nothing bat a committee of the citizens appointed to attend to certain concerns of tho whole body of the people that cannot otherwise be managed, and all straining or undue tension of the functions of these committees in any direction whatsoever should be constantly watched awl always resisted by the people.

Tho platform declares in favor of the nation's supremacy within constitutional limits, without touching npon the State's Integrity: demands equal rights, protection, privileges and burdens for all citizens, regardless of sex or race; a free ballot and a fair count; honest and economical expenditure of public moneys; radical reform of tho civil service, based upon Pendleton's bill and Willis' anti-assessment measure; declares apainst sumptuary laws which infrinjre upon "the saored rights

oi puDiic jiDeny, ana pledges tne party to support all reasonable legislation tending to lessen hours of labor and to increase and protect the wages of laborers. Following is the tariff plank: "We demand thorough and immediate reform of the tariff. We call upon Congress to reform the present war taxes, that hundreds of millions mav not be. as now. need

lessly extracted from the earnings of our people to lie in the treasury as a temptation to wicked and reckless appropriations for extravagant public buildings and useless and wasteful river and harbor bills; that no taxes should be levied npon the necessaries of life or upon raw material which is not found or produood m our country, that the tariff shall be so judiciously adjusted that American commerce shall be fostered, and, above all, American labor elevated and amply rewarded. We affirm that all these results van be fully realized under a tariff limited in amount to the sum-necessary and adequate for revenue." HEW TO aX BKPUBLIGAXS.

Merit, not patronage, must be the basis of official tenure. As initiatory to a complete remedy, we earnestly demand such legislation, concerning subordaiato offices as shall embrace the following provisions: 1.

The following platform was adopted: The Republican party In Mixmnri, In convontlon assembled; do hereby UeclarO their political faith as follows! 1. Wc reaffirm nnr n'lCL-intloo to tho fundamental principle? heretofore announced and successfully put In practice by the licpuirficau party of the nation, to-wit: Eiptal civi and political rights for every adult citizen, without dist inction of race, color or relicion; the maintenance of tho national Union as the indlsi cnsablo condition of national and individual freedom and prosperity; the faithful discharge of every' lwenniary obligation of the nr.llon ; a stable and uniform currency, based not uu promises, but on convertibility on demand with the recognized stan lard of values of the world: duties for revenue to lie imposed so as to give all needed and reasonable protection to American im.ustry without favoring monopolies; faith in the progress of civilization, audi as a uccasnary means tow .rd and result of such progress, thccontimied Improvement, reformation and readjustment of onr political and civil institutions. 3.

To this end we demand a vigorout enforcement of tho existing license laws and tho immediate enactment and faiUifrJ execution of such fuitlicr statutes as shall enable the people of tlie several localities and subdivisions of the State to determine for themselves whether dram-shops shall exist among- them or aot; also, a large increase of the cost ol licenses, so that the liquor traffic shall bear its nst proportion of taxation and be conducted by responsible persons; also fbao persons engaged in said traffic shall be made civilly liable at law in damages for injuries to persons resulting therefrom, and for the effective punishment by irnprig-inmcnt of all lemons violating said laws, so that a strict and adequate control of said traffic may be maintain si wherever it is permitted, and we further belle-re that a rigid and impartial enforcement of laws, each as are above proposed, would furnish & moie complete and practical lemedy for the cv-ils of intemperance than any attempt to enforce general prohibitory laws against adverse local sentiment S.

We believe that tho safety and perpetuity of republican government depends upon the intelligence and education of the cltizeas, and that it is tho duty of the State to afford tho amplest facilities tor the educat ion of the masses at public expense, and we demand that tho public-school .system of this State In- made to comprehensive as to afford in all parts good school facilities tor at least eight mouths' school in every year.

T. We also arraign tho Democratic party of this State for s notorious disregard of the institutions and statutory provisions of the State against tlie consolidation of railroad corporations operating and controlling parallel and coinMnor lines, in open violation of unmistakable and plain constitutional enaotuieni.

THE WAR IN EGYPT,

.Brilliant Victory of tke BiiM - at Tel-el-KeWr,

Aralii a Prisoner, His Army Dispersed and the War at aa End.

The Beaper. Ben. Parley Poore gives the following account of the origin of reaping machines. Bey. P. Bell, son of a Scotch farmer, bnt studying for the ministry, one day noticed the action of a pair of hedge shears as used in the garden, and looking attentively said to himself : "Here is a principle." Be tried it on some oats near by. Soon he saw his way to the cutting, and had suitable sets of shears made. The gathering baffled him long, but aocident inter veiifid again, and helped him to success, reached in 1828, the grain cntling being tried npon straws stuck in the ground, before any orops ripened. In 1833 one of the machines was ordered from America, and soon those of Hussey and MoCormiok were produced, using the same principle.

Criticism That Tells. The folloM'ing is strictly true and occurred in a village within forty miles of Boston. An Irish laborer was token to a concert for the first time and asked how ho liked it "Well," ho roplod, "I loiked it all except a piece thoy called the quarthet. They didn't know that at all.

Tne fiii(-lisli adtdhde jrtinrd reached Cairo on the evening of the l4th inst, by rail, and at once took possession of the oily. Arabis were scattered in all directions over the deserts, and were comtnar forward as fnst as possible with offers to surrender. Arnlii himself was virtually a prisoner in Cairo, where, on his arrival after the disaster of Tol-ol-Kebir, ho was -reeled with stones by the same pnpulnne that wpiiid have hailed him as thd deliverer Of fcgypt and the conquerer of her foes bad the" tido Of battle turned the other way. It was stated that he would bo held by tho local authorities subloot to tho demandu of the Khedive and his EngHsh allies. Tho Kultaii telegraphec Gen. WolRelev his congratulations, at tho same time proforriiuT a request that tho march of tlio British any further Into the Interior of E-rvi t be stopped. To this cool proposition (ion. WolRelev returned a brief reply referring tlie .Sultan to the British Government in London, bnt at the same time orderhi"? his forces onward to Cairo. Numerous delegations aftivd at Alexandria to express the loyalty and subinissiveness of the people to the Khedive. The rebel force at Tel-ol-Kebir comprised 30,000 regulars, 7,000 Bedouins, and 3,000 volunteers. The Uritish loss was fifty-four killed and 350 wounded. The following account of the battle at Tel-el-Kebir was telegraphed by Cable to the New York Hrralcl: "The attack began oh tho left ' Nothing could be imagined finer than tho advan:o of the Highland brigade. The Fourteenth wore next the canal Next were the Cameroniana, and the Gordon Highlanders continued the line, with the Black Watch npon their flank. The Forty-sixth and Sixtieth rojiments formed a second line. Swiftly and silently the Highlanders moved forward to the attack. Mo word was spoken, no shot fired, until within 800 yards of the enemy's eai-tltvorks. nor up to that time did ahy sound ifi ttlo Egyptian lilies betoken

biiuL iiwy were uvvuit; 01 uiu prcseiiua ux their assuilnnte. Then suddenly a terrific Are flashed along tho line of sand-heaps, a storm of bullets whizzed over the heads of the advancing troops, a wild cheer broke from the Highlanders, and in response the pipes struck shrilly up, bayonets were fixed, and at doublequick time they dashed forward. The lust line of lntienclunents was carried, the enemy scarcely offering any lesUitnnce. But from another line 0i iittrerichuieuts, behind which ih the still dim light one could scarcely see, a burst of musketry broke out For a few minutes the Highlanders poured in a heavy fire, but it was probably as innocuous as that of the unseen enemy whose bullecs whistled harmlessly overhead. The delay in the advance was but short Then the order was given, and the brigade again went rapidly forward Soon a portion of the force had passed between the enemy's redoubts and opened u flanking fire. This was too much for the Egyptians, who took to their Ji(e1s aitd fnirlv ran, mirroring, as the crowded masses htsliea across the dpen desert, vory heavily from our fire, beiilg literally mowed down by hundreds. Meanwhile righting began upon the other flank. The horse artillery shelled the enemy's extreme left Here the Egyptians were more prepared than on their right For a time thoy kept n! a steady fire. The Royal Irish were sent to turn the enemy's left A-T the word thoy daghod at tho tranches and carried them iit the bayonet's point, so turnin;; tlie flank of tho defenders of tho position. Nest came the Eighty-eighth regiment, then the Eighty-fourth, the Guards being close up beliiitd lit support These regiments advanced by regular rusbdti. For a short t-imo the enemy clung to their lino of intrenchmentfi, but their fire was singularly ineffective, and the British troops got fairly into the trenches. Then the enemy fought stoutly for a few moments. The combat was a hand-to-hand one. MaJ.-Hnrt shot one man as he was trying to wrest A revolver from his hand This

The soldiers are triad to return, to their homes. Arabi Pasha and Touiba Pasha are both confined in our

from Alexandria on Sept 10 says: "After the

engagement at Tel-el-Kebir, Arabi Pasha tied to Cairo and told tho Council that the troops had deserted him, upon which the mission was sent to the Khedive with two letters from Arabi Pasha, one expressing his devotion, and the Other warning him not to allow the English to enter Cairo, as the same results might follow as happened at Alexandria. The Khedive refused to receive the letters. Arabi Pasha was taken before the Khedive. He presented a loathsome picture of groveling servility. He swore he hod not been aware he was fighting against the Khedive. The Khedive remained standing while Arabi Pasha was In his presence. When Arabi had concluded, the Khedive ordered his removal. It has been ascertained that Arabi was in bed at the time of the attack on Tel-el-Kebir, and, panic-stricken at the sudden and unexpected attack, fled in dismay. All the Egyptian leaders will be tried at Cairo for their rebellion. Canned provisions for SO.000 men for a month were captured at Tel-el-Kebir. Lord Duffeiin informed the Porte that British military operations in Egypt have ceased, and as England is about to wlthdruw a portion of her troops the Sultan might decide whether It was necessary to sign the military convention. Twenty prominent rebels captured at Cairo will be tried by court-martial. A number of prominent Egyptiaus are still at large Alexandria disEatehcs of Sept. 18 announce that the British ad occupied Kafr-el-Dwnr and Damietta, and that tho commander at Abouklr had signified his readiness to surrender. Theofltoial journal at St Petersburg says Great Britain will not be allowed to settle the Egyptian question alone. The London Tuna insiuta that tho rebel army must be replaced by gendarmes to maintain civil order. When tho garrison at Abouklr marched out to surrender, on Sept 18, an entire regiment decamped to join Abdella Pasha at Damietta, who refuses to surrender. The rest of tho DTtrrfson. numberintr 5.000 or 0.000. proceeded

Tantah had been occupied by the British, and service on all the railroads bad been resumed. Natives with torn and bloody clothing had been paraded in the streets of Cairo by Arabi's orders as representing brutal treatment by the English. Gen. Wolselev claims to have good reason for the belief that tho resistance at Damietta was inspired by the Sultan, who has quite recently been in communication with Arabi Pasha ' One of the participants in the June massacre was hanged at Alexandria. Abdollal Patha, who commanded at Daralottn, surrendered to tho British on the 10th of September. With the surrender of Abdella! ceased the last remnant of organized resistance to the authority of the Khedive, mid that functionary at onoe proceeded to Cairo, tho capital city, under escort of Indian cavalry. The' entire population of Xagazig Is again at work in the fields, tho telegraph censorship ban boon abolished, and trains have been restored botween Cairo and Kalir-el II war.

Arabi insisted that nil lite acts wero instigated by the Khedive and the Sultan. First Triumph of BmtU-loader. Tlie Prussians used a few brewhloading cannon in tho war of 1804 with Uouniftik, generally J-itowii as the

Sohleswig-Holstein war. The immense advantage of breech-loading small arn in military operations first became conspicuous in this war, in which the famous Prussian needle-gun waa used with deadly, ruinous effect against the valiant but less powerfully armed Danes. Tho Prussians introduced breech-loading cannon into their artillery service in 1861, using the Wahrefldorf or piston arrangement, which has since given place to the Krupp system, which closes the breech by use of a ey indro-prismaftie wedge. A BLOODY RESCUE.

A Sheriff and His Deputy Shot Down by Desperadoes. 4. Sensation il Tragedy on a Tennessee Railroad Train.

A terrible tragedy was enacted at Sweetwater, Tenn., forty miles west of KnoxviHe, in which a Sheriff and his deputy were slain. The particulars of the bloody affair are contained hi the following dispatch from Knox-vUlo:-"Hhoriif W. T. Cato and" Deputy Sheriff John Conway, of Chattanooga, Hamilton county, had in custody three prisoners bringing them to Kuoxville to the Supreme Court lVo prisoner!), John Taylor and Samuel Carter, under sentence for murder, were chained together. The other prisoner a negro, was chained to a seat When the train stopped at Sweetwater, three rlleii entered tho oar. One was a brother of the1 prisoner, Taylor, and entered the car from the rear, while tne Other two entered the front Taylor's brother approached Deputy Conway from behind, placed a pistol to the back of his head and blew Conway's brains out He then took the keys from Conway's pocket and unlocked the prisoner, Taylor, ana the latter secured the deputy's pistol. At this instant Sheriff Cate rushed at the men, firing at them and the prisoner. As he fired the prisoner Taylor shot him through the bowels and the Other two men shot him through the breast, the Sheriff lolling dead. The prisoner Taylor was itlightly wounded in the leg. The three rescuers were not hurt Taylor, with his two rescuers, jumped on the engine and forced the engineer to pull out immediately with a pstolat his head Thev made him put on more steam, and forced him to run twenty miles up to Lenoirs, running through three towns without stopping. At Lenoirs the four men jumped from the engine and secured horses which were waiting for them, and all escaped The prisoner Carter and the negro came to Knoxvillo without guard and surrendered to the Sheriff of Knox cotlntt. Conway's dead body was brought to Kuoxville. Cate's body was left at Sweetwater, being thrown from the car Slatform by tlie rescuers. The gang boarded te train at Sweetwater, but the killing was done at Philadelphia Station, eight miles east of Sweetwater. The Sheriff of Loudon county is following the gang, but has no hope of overtaking them. They are making for the mountains of North Carolina," A dispatch from Chattanooga, says: "The city is in intense excitement A posse of thirty men, with Springfield rifles left on a special train on the Cincinnati Southern for Kingston. Another posse Will leave overland. A posse has left Kingston and another Loudon. Cate had been Sheriff two weeks. He was one ol! the most popular men in the city. He is about 50 years old and leaves a large family. Deputy Conway was about 30 rears of age and prominent as a local politician. Such excitement has not been in Chattanooga aince the war. Five thousand dollars reward are offered for the arrest of the Taylors. The sum will be increased. A company of colored militia left the city for Kingston. One of the Taylors served a term in the penitentiary, and is wanted in Texas for murder. " A WATERY GRAVE,

At Least 0ns Hundred lives Lost The Scramble for the Boats,

The steamer Asia was lost In a storm on Georgian bay, on Thursday, Sept 14, and of 100 persons oa board only two are known to have survivtd. A dispatch from Collingwood, Ontario, says: D. A. Tinkls and Christy Attn Morrison, supposed to be the only survivors of tihe wreck of the steamer Asia, have arrived here. Tinkls reports that he boarded the Asia near Owen sound, in com pany with J. H. Tinkls and H. B. Gallagher, of Monitou. The steamer was crowded. All the staterooms were full, and many passengers were lying on sofas and the cabin floor. About 11 Thursday morning a storm struck her. "My uncle, J. H. Tinkls, jumped up and said the boat was doomed. Dishes and chairs were flying in every direction. We left the cabin and found ditilculty in getting on deck, tho boat rolling so heavily. I got a life-preserver and pnt it on. The boat foil into the trough of the sea, and would not obey the helm. She rolled heavily for about twenty minutes, when she was struck by a

When I got in there were eighteen in the boat By that time there was a larger number in and clinging to the boat I had left I know nothing of the third boat Our boat rolled over, and I missed HcDougaU. The people were banging on to the spars and other parts of the wreckage. Our boat was full of water, and the sea was constantly breaking over us. One of tho first to die oa the boat was the cahbi-boy. Ho was dying, and being supported by one of tho men, when a wave washed him overboard. The next to go was a boat band who jumped out I could see him paddling round In the water for nearly a hundred yards. Our number was now reduced to sfeven, five of whom died before reaching idle beach. Copt Savage, who was tho last to Clio, expired in my anus about midnight Thursday. John Little, of Sault Ste Ifiirle, the mate of the McDonald, and two others, names unknown, also died. The boat finally stranded near Point au Barrie about daylight Friday, with Miss Morrison and myself only wirvivng. I put the bodies out on the beach and pried the boat off with an oar, but did not bail it out Miss Morrison and I went down the beach in

BRAVE MEN BUTCHERED.

FrightM Atrocities Perpetrated in the Peruvian War.

A Chilian Garrison Massacred After Ilfaking a Heroic Defense.

Aooording to a Chilian correspondent of the Panama Star and Herald, native guerrillas burned and pillaged the city of Tarraa and other places, committed frightful atrocities, and, among others, murdered a number of foreigners. The correspondent says: When tlie inhabitants of Tarma learned that the Chilian forces were about to leave, a huge majority of the Peruvian families appealed to be allowed to accompany them in order to escape the depredations of thd lawless countrymen. - Only outs foreign families, believing tne gtierriUu would respect them, decided to remain. Fully 500 women followed the army. Just five hours after the troops left immense hordes of guerrillas poured in There were 600 armed with rifles and eculppcd like regulars, who entered, formed in" column, followed by at least 3,000 guerrillas armed with sticks, clubs, lances and ot her nimilar weapons, who entered pellmell, shouting vociferously. On it being known ;hat all well-to-do and decent families had left town the fury of the Indians knew n j bounds. Residences were stripped, and those of many foreign residents shared ;h same fate. Many assassinations followel Among the victims were eighteen foreigners. In the midst of the drunken orgle Tarna was reduced to ruins. With the object df burning the properties of foreigners and Chllianizcd Tarmanlans all the town was burned The cities of Jauja andHuaneayo eliarod the fate of Tarma The names of gome foreigners assassinated are given. An Italian named Motto and two Germans named Strinz and Scholk ore among the si oin. Four Chilian soldiers and six fugitive Peruviftns were frozen to death in, the Cordilleras At Concepclon the Chilian garrison mada a noble defense against hordes of Indians. When the ammunition of tlie Chilians was erhausned, the assailants secured paraffine and fired the barracks, burning some of the wounded soldiers. Capt Pinto and a few Survivors of the garrison made a "ally, cut down Via enemy, and cleared the front and si des of the barracks, while the mini inside extinguished the flames and removed the -rounded to places of safety. In another silly Copt Pinto was shot dead. The Ind tans a. rain fired the building, and sallies were organized under Sub-Lieuts. Montt, Cruz and Pek-z. In one of the earliest of these the first-mentioned officer was mortally wonnded. Subsequently Sub-Lieut Peicz feu wounded hi another sally. The young officer whs immediately pounced upon by a horde of Indians, who lanced him to death. At this hour five friars from the neighboring convent of Ocopa have appeared on the scene, and, crucifix in hand; commenced to Incite the Indians to renew the attack on the building. At 10 o'clock, of seventy-seven Chilians composing the garrison, only four, and two of them wounded, remained to offer resistance. The others were either dead or dying. The building is now ablaze in every direction. Four women, wives of thf soldiers, were eye-witnesses ofthe death of their husbands. One of them, accompanied by hear son of 5 years, and another by an infant who had come into the world at the commencement of the attack utter removing- the wounded from the burning building went out into the square, hoping their lives would lie spared.' They had barely stepped outside the building when they were set upon by a crowd of yelling and drunken savages and horribly butchered. The 5-year-old boy had his throat cut from ear to ear, and waa barbarously mutilated, and the bpdy of the new-born child was found pierced with lance wounds. Sub-Iieut Cru and the surviving soldiers were also surrounded, and they fell one after another, but not until they had sold their Uvea dearly. When the otber Chilian troops arrived, a few days afterward, thoy found in the scuore and the adjacent streets -J91of the enemy's dead. The wounded wire double that number, and were carried off to the hills The Chilian dead were collected and buried. The city was burned, and everybody implicated hi tho massacre who could be found was summarily executed.

Food and Drink at the Opera. In written contracts made between CoL Mapleson and his artists there are many secret clauses not generally known to the public. A member of his company who was discharged for bis incompetency some two years ago, informed me of this, and quite Burj rised me by the following revelations. It appears according to contract, that Campanini is allowed a hot glass of rum in the iirat act of "Faust." When he drinks the fiery enp handed to him by Mephistophelcs people only suppose that it simply contains a little alcohol burning. I can assure the public now that it is a first-class Santa Cruz rum pnnoh, and the great tenor enjoys it heartily in fact, without it, he could not do justice to his brilliant song, "Ipvoglia placer," which follows it. In the Kemiesse scene, act second, the choristers-hare beer on draught, which they ingurgato while the old men's chorus is being sung. And in "Don Giovana" every basso who plays Lepo rello has, in the supper scene (last act), a bowl of hot macarona or gratin, and a quart bottle of Chiang wine. "The Huguenots," it appears, was always a favorite with Ool. Mapleson's artists, on account of the spread in the act first, while Miss Hank invariably polishes off a pint of Mnmm in the Brindisi scene, "Triviata." In "FraDiavolo," there is afree lunch and drink in act first, for the tenor, before singing, "On yonder rook reclining," and this is the reason why Campanini wishes to have the opera revived. Tin tenor, by the way, is partial to "Bigoletto," because he gets a good glass of vinordinaire, in Sparafuaile's housci before singing "La Donna e mobile." Miiis Hank always wanted Ool. Mapleson to-revive "Luoretia Borgia," because there is a "lay out" in the last act. and the contralto. Miss Cary,

.wished it to be produced likewise, be

cause m the UrmdiBi tnere is an opportunity for draining some good Italian wine. In Verdi's "Macbeth" there is a drinking song, and the Colonel has been asked repeatedly to revive it, but he re"Martha" is a favorite with bassi and barytoni, on account of the drinking song for Plunkett. Porter oic Dublin stout is the usual beverage when the operih is given, and as the morceau is always encored the singer gets two drinks. Members of the chorus have a fondness for "Ermtni" on accouiit of thf. opening chorus, when they ail drink and shout in the jolliest manner possible, and it is the fondest wish of every member of tho profession to play some

day in the opera when it will be necessary to eat soup and lamb chops and

drink tour bottles oi uranay.
