Hia life as a ninaician was, however,
embittered from hia early years. Strive
as he might to achieve greatness, his
brain could not carry him to suceetsful
rivalry with the men who three and
four decades ago made the musical con
quest of the world.
In bis earlier years he was as «
pianist praised as the only living rival
of Rubinstein, but he went no further,
and the great fttissinn has nothing to

posterity. He created nothing, nut nT»

Intimacy with Wagner, the man of cv

father-in-law, Kranr. idset, whose romnn-

flight*, unfitted him more and more for
a hnnwtnnn conjugal life*. In his exalted
veneration of two such powerful and
unconventional individualities the young
man became .Wtranged from ordinary

The cardinals who oppose the liberal
policy of the Pope point out that this is
owing to the attitude of His Holiness to

defend the tniwaonJ doctrines of the

* will always be remembered for hi« b'ting
oarqasms. incisive utteranc,4i on his con-
temporari e* and his capacity for creat
ing hostility by his often too ou(S|K>ken
malapropros. During his conee.-t tour in
Florence years ago hia sueceas was
enormous, hat he entirely destro/j'i his
popularity just before he left by a vio
lent condemnation of Verdi, who at that
time waa considered by the Italian* l0
be a demigod. In Spain he exposed him
self to a similar fate. When he returned
to Berlin he wns equally caustic in his
aritidsms. One day, somewh -e about
1871, he Ironically compared the orches
tra of the Royal Opera to the orchestra
of Rena’s rtfoma,’ and pronounced^ It
shameful and disgraceful. The manager
of the circus, incensed at what lie con
sidered an affront to bis musicians took
up the eudgeto and called Bulow to ac
count in print. Von Bulow without a
moment’s hesitation, again seised his pen
' and wrote a letter qf ■ spolgr to the
manager of the circus, humbly begging
his pardon for haring thoughtlessly
compared* his excellent orchestra with
tk* Interior on* of the Royal Opera.
This occurred in 1878, when Bulow waa
occupying the pent of Kapelmeister to
the Emperor. The scandal caused by
this indecent polemic ansa so great that
intimation came to Bulow, to send in
his realgnatton, which waa promptly ac-
fiqoted. **

The superintendent In his repfirt says that
he sees no pro*|>eet of convlets being em-
ployed in North Carolina otherwise than
on farms, which indicate* that the present
system is generally approved. v -
• The system now In. vogue in Georgia Is
generally comlomned. atid Is now near its
end. As to the system wfilch will slic-
to ered it there Is no doubt, pur legislators
show an unwillingness to take up the
question a moment before they are obliged
to do so. This reluctanee Is due to th«^
dlffleulty of settling the qlpwtlon properly,
with due regard to the welfare of the
State and of the couvtets. That the latter
consideration' Is an Important one ta no
longer den.ed. ,
In considering the question the expe
rience of Norths Carolina should not be
neglected. The figures we have given ap
parently show that under the farm labor
system the convlcta are self-supporting,
whl,<h is as imich as should be expected
In that direction. The death rate—29 t<*

the reformation of the convicts depends,

In the management, which Is largely true
of any system. The employment Is that
to which most of the convicts were accus
tomed. '
The Telegraph ha* lieen partial to the
bleu that the couvtets should be employed
on the roads of the State if it could be
developed Into a practical system, and
hopes that this may be done. But we are

The House of Lords.
Can the House of Lords be Mended* Mr.
Bagehot, one of the most enlightened stn-
dentu of tbs Brttlsb Constitution, did not
consider It Impossible to reinforc# the
uppffr chamber with .life or elective mem
bers, -and to convert 1 tlnto a body which
might be most useful In revising measures
enacted by the Commons. If Mr. Gladstone
were younger and disposed to deal se-
rlously with the question of
House.of Lord*, that might be the gen
eral direction which fie would follow. But
no one can fall tb notice that the upper
House has ceased to be a chamber of re
vision for measures passed by cither party.
It registers automatically the decrees of
i ne party, and obstructs systematically *h»
legislation of the other party. Logically
one party ought to be as free to govert^
and to legislate wttHe it to In power as
the other party Is; but practically the
House, of Lords Is a superflous party ma
chine when there is a Conservative .min
istry. and nothing less than an obstructive
brake when there la a Liberal ministry.
The only effective method of mending It
Would lie lo Convert It from an hereditary
Into an elective assembly, and In tills way
to Invest it with true representative char
acter. 8o far aa the hereditary peers are
concerned, this would be equivalent to end
ing it. .
He Obeyed Her.
Mont American women have had em
barrassing experience® in social ’ emer
gencies. Perhaps none was ever more
trying than the adventure of 'a lady
noted in New Yostoassciety for her cour
tesy and saroir faire.
, One winter day she started on the
train for Philadelphia, taking her seat
in what she supposed was an ordinary
parlor oar. There was but one other
occupant, a somewhat stout mun, who
sat with his book to her. Presently he
lighted a cigar and began to smoke. The
lady coughed and moved uneasily, but
her hints had no effect. Sher said at
last, tartly: _
“You probably are a foArncr. sir, and
do not know that there"® a smoking
car attached to the train. Smoking is
not permitted here.” .
The man. without reply, threw the
cigar out of the window.
A few moment® later the conductor
entered and stared at her in dismay.
“How did yon come here, madam?”
he inquired.
“Why, where am I?”
‘ “In Gen. Grant’s private car.”
The mortified lady s usual tact failed
her here. She looked at the dumb, im
movable figure, and retreated without
a word.—Youth’s Companion.
