STORES OF MONTE CARLO.
Seme of them Yrac, Many False. but AN fi.gi
But who should this be sipping some |
iy tuteresting.
an old friend whom I will call Mr. Spece- tator. He lives at Monte Carlo ; he has , passed a score of seasons here; he has
}
to the Casino every day and every evening, and he never plays acent. It is his occupation iy life to be an observer of things and to mark the ways of man and woman kind. In the su »mer he will mark them at Aix-les-Bains, at Lausanne, or at Trouville. He knows everything about what is going on just now at “Monty” 3 what Russian princess pawned her dia- monds last week, and what Cuban suger-planter did not die of apoplexy at the Hotel Carmbole but poisoned himself with Siw vssie acid. “He was a fool, sir,’ qvoth Mr. Spectator. “ Why | didn’t he go to the Administration ? Why didn't he make his declaration ? They knew well enough that he had lost 200,000 franes in the course of ten days. They would have paid his travelling and hotel! expenses back to Paris, or back to Brazil, for the matter of that, He was a foo!, sir !”
Mr. Spectator went on to explain that when a cleaned-out player made a can- did admission of his impecuniosity the Administration gave him a sum of money to defray his journey by railway io the place whence he came and his ineridentsl expenses en route, He mentioned? one case in which a whole family of five persons were al- lowed fifteen levis apiege to take them from Monte Carlo to Loudon, the sole eencition attached to the largesse being that the recipient should not re-enter the Casino unlers he or she recoped the Administratk their outlay. In the case which le cited, one of the party a lady, who had not gone further than Nice, received some weeks afterwards a hancsome remittance from England She went back blithely to “Monty,” ree paid the fifteen louls, re-entered the Casino, and backing the douze dernier, not forgetting zero, won £300. “You are not to believe,” added Mr. Spectator, “a tithe of the scnsational stories printed about ruined gamesters hanging them- selves to trees in the gardens, or blow- ing out their brains in hte reading room.” The majority of these canards are set on foot by obscure French news- papers which have not been subvention- ed or bribed by the Administration to puff Mente Carlo.
One of the pleasantest characteristics of my friend Mr. Spectator is that every time you meet him he has a fresh story to tell you about an infallible system for winning at roulette, and this time he regaled me with a succinct narrative of what I may call the “Wellington boot system.” Capt. Backum had play- ed for many years a large number of systems, and by the time he was five-
nd-forty had ;layed away a handsome fortune. A happy thought occurred to him. He always wore Wellington boots. His capital was just five louis. This he changed into five-frane pieces, and he never staked more than one piece at a time, and if he won he withdrew his stakes after the t)ird coup. His win- nings he carefully placed in a side pock- et,and whenever he had won four pieces he changed them into 2 lovis and slipped the coin inte one of his Loots. He play- ed for seven consecutive hours before his stock capital was exhausted. Then he returned to Nice, somewhat heavy of footstep, and, drawing cif his boots, found that he had wen a hundred louis. “This was two yee2rs continued Mr. Spectator, “and only last week I found Dackum at a thirc-ciass hotel at Nice. Ee ny gown ané slippers, and flocking by no means cheerful. ‘Tow about the Wellington

pawned them yesterday afternoon.”
So this is “Menty”’ in full swing; “Monty,” with its ups and downs, its ceaselees whirl of gayety and djsalpa- tion. There is no rest at Monte Carte. When you are tired of play there are dramatic performances ; t! are con- certs ; there is pigeon six oting ; and In the spring and summer there is plenty of yachting. But all these are only gide issues. The Grand Trunk line of Monte Carlo leacs to the Temple of Mammon, It is crowded night and day by people lusting for money which they have not earned; and it is the Road te Ruin,
BISMARCK’S OLD SWEETHEART.
Km Mis Youth the trom ¢hancellor toyed a Farmer's Daughter.
One of the most popular pictures at the present day in Germany is the por- trait of a woman who was Bismarck's sweetheart in his early days. Bisma-k was living at Kniephof in the year 1839, His personal life during that year was of that lively character ovcr which he afterward lamented so bitterly. It was the sturm und drang zeit of his exist- ence, Stories of his dissoluteness and pride, his daring feats as a rider and his achievements as a boon campanion, his disregard as conventional rules, and his love of wild adventure, are numer- ous. The youthful owner of Kniep- hof was to be often seen careering wilde ly across the country alone or in the company of gay friends who were his guests, and such was the impression he produced on the quiet population toat he came lw be generally Known as the “Mad Bismarck."’ Near Kniephot there lived a farmer of the name of Goetz. He had an onlydaughter, Mal- vina, who was known as the beauty of the neighborhood. Bismarck met her and paid his addresses, but as it was impossible for the proud young master of Kniephof to make this lowly maid his wife, her father frowned upon this intimacy. Soon after Bismark, on his mother’s death, moved to Pomerania and probably forgot all about his early ettachment. Malvina Goetz married in her own station in life.
Years afterward, when Bismack’s mame became famous throughout the world, the respectable, middle-ageé Malvina became a local celebrity, an: the chancellor's enemies tried to make capital out of his old love affair.

LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN,
Ludwig Van Beethoven,was born at Bonn, in Prussia, probab'y on Deember 16th, 1770. His birth is registered oa December L7th, 1770, the custom being that births were registered the day following their oc- currence. His father was a tenor singer in the court band of the Elector of Col- ogne, under whom young Beethoven studied for a short time.
His musical education commenced at the early age of tive years, Later on, his father placed him under Vander Eden, organist of the court, under whom he made rapid progress, and when in his eighth year he astonished his friends by the per— formances he gave on the violin, which instrument he would practice fur many bours a day in the garret. When eleven, he played Bach’s Wohitemperirtes Klavier with wonderful skill, and in his thirteenth vear he published a volume of variations on marchesysongsa@nd sonatas. In the year 1790, Beethoven being then twenty, extemporized on the piancforte in the presence of Mozart, who, for some time, listened to him with indifference, thinking that bisso-called extempo ization had been prepared, and that he wee plauy— ing from memory. Mortified at bis inditf- erence, and stili more at the cau-¢ of it, Seethoven insisted ou Mozart himself giv— ing him a subject.
This, though chosen for the purpose of
testing his powers to the utmost, he treat- ad with such skill and felicity that Mozart rose from his seat, and walking on tip-toe and holding his breath for fear of troub!— ing the rich stream of music which was winding abont him, passed into another room where some friends were seated, and said, “Listen tothis young man; you'll bear him talked about some of these days.” In 1792, the Elector of Cologne was in- duced by the promising appearances of tal- ent to send the Jad at his own expense to Vieuna to acquire proficiency in compesi- tion under the instruction of Haydn. Shortly after Haydn left on his second visit to England he handed Beethoven over to the care of his friend Albrechtsberger, he being a good master for an easy-going pupil, but found himself altogether un- able to deal with a young man of genius, strong will, and decidedly averse to taking things for granted. Oh! if only a few more of us were like him; so many are content— ed with a little knowledge, which is very dangerous. Beethoven’s commanding ability soon asserted itself, and he became specially known as an extemporiser on the pianoforte.
In 1809 he received an invitation to the new court of the King of Westphalia, at which several men of distinction, among them one of his pupils, Archduke Rodelph, subsequently archbishop of Olmutz, in- duced him to remain by the promise of a yearly salary.
His rough manners and ungovernable temper led to many troubles with brother musicians, but his simplicity and goodness no less than his genius won the favor of the upper classes.
He passed the closing years of his life very much retired in the village of Mod- lingen, near Vienna. Being in fairly com- fortable circumstances and loving his art, the composer worked zealously, but many trials were in store for him,
His brothers were a constant source of trouble, and he began to snffer with deafness, chat terrible affliction which pur- sued him with increasing intensity until it became total. Then followed the loss of a pension he had enjoyed, through the death of the Elector of Cologne.
Notwithstanding all this, the years be- tween 1803 and 1808 were perhaps the most brilliantly productive of his life.
The biographers of Beethoven Lave gen- erally agreed to divide his life into three periods and his works into three corres— ponding manners.
The first period extends from: 1795 the year of his first acknowledged publication, to 1804, these compositions being strongly
marked with the style of Mozart. The second, beginning with the Third
Sympbony ” and snowing the master mind in a) its strength and originality from the year 1804 to 1814. The third and latest from 1814 to 1827, while distinguished for depth and sublimity is tinged with melancholy and appeals less to the larger musical public. Besides his great sym- phonies and overtures, quintette, quar- letts, and trios for stringed instruments, his numerous sonatas and other pieces for the pianoforte in which his imagination is displayed with great ability, he also ccm
sed vocal music but with less success. The “ Moonlight Senaia” a favorite with all musicians, is said to have received its title from an expression of Rellstab, the critic comparing the first movement to a boat wandering by moonlight on the Lake of Lucerne.
The works of Beethoven, which have attained the greatest favor as yet are his Oratorio “Christ on the Mount of Olives,” his opera “‘ Leonore ” known as “Fidelio,” the tirst of Lis two masses, that in C, a few of his single songs “Ah! Perfido” and Mattison’s Adelaide, named by the British “ Rosalie,’ the Choral Fantasia, the Overture and other music to Goethe's « Egmont.”
Un Beethoven’s only attempt at oratorio, the best criticism that can be made, is that it is the only attempt. There is reacon to believe that he planned, but he eertainly never executed another oratorio.
In the dramatic he also exhibited « faculty which, exercised more frequently, would, without doubt, have attained to something like the same perfection and superiority.
Sut to that mixture of the dramatic and and epic which is needed for the oratorio of modern times, Beethover, from what- ever cause, failed in giving the proper proportions,
The Mass in C, beautiful as it is in detail, cannot be regarded as a work in its class of the higaest order. Compare the fugue in his Mass so pompously begun aud ret so soon abandoned, with any of the ‘many similar movements im the masses of Haydn or Mozart. Turn to the instrumental prelude te the last move- ment of the Mass in D, one of Beethoven’s latest works. Here he has, without a doubt, rushed on to the track trodden by Mozart in the “ Recordare” of his “ Requiem,” eomnpare the two, you will then understand the difference between the ripe acholar and the ‘incomplete practitioner, whose every attempt at seeming Jearned is too apt to result in becoming clumsy and unmeaning. However, these attempts on the part of Beethoven were few and far between. If he knew hie strength, he knew his weakness, perhaps caring too little shout it to try to overcome it, and content, as well he might be, to do what he did beat~better than it had ever been done before. ;
Beethoven’s Orchestral Symphony mutt be regarded as holding, beyond al! com- parison, the first among musical works.
The composers of the Fourth Period, viz., C. Potter, Roohe, Balfe, Wallace, and Sterndale Bennett, have not even attempt- ed this form of composition; and those who have succeeded indisputably in it amount to five, or at the utmest to seven. Of those who have done 80, mary have failed or have abstained from outing the more sustained labor of the Sym-
may2l 3w
phony.
Of the first eight Symphonies of Beet- hoven, the favorite among persons of smal]! musica) culture js that known as | the “Pastoral,’ and the very things in it | which give them the most pleasure are | just those which the culwred hearer | would most like to strike out. Now, of, this form of art (for a symphony is but a ! sonata lengthened and widene’, not always | deepened), of this most difficult art, Bee- thoven is, beyond doubt, the greatest | master that has yet appeared. In it he; hae exceeded his predecessors; and what is | more extraordinary still, he remains un- |
equalled, perhaps unapproached, by any of his successors. Like all great geniuses, he worked out- his
own purposes in his own way. He is said to have spent hours, days. weeks or it might be months in the elaboration of his score ; but his process was the reyerse of most artists. It consisted not in putting in but in culting out effects often beautifal in themselves but which he thought or knew would come into contact with others. The works of Bethoven present many ex- amples of startling harmonic progression; so many indee!, that in inferior hands they would soon cease to startle, and still sooner to please. Alas! too often do these beautiful works get into the hands of so- called inusicians and are utterly ruined for the want of either instruction, intelli- gence or it may be ignorance on the part of the performer.
But the time will come, I do most sin- cerely hope, when only classical music will be acknowledged. This will be welcomed by all true lovers of music.
‘fo those who do not understand and therefore do not appreciate Beethoven’s works, or those of any great composer or | would say study them, look at them, and listen to them until you do.
Beethoven’s sufferings (for he certainly was not @ man without any) were relieved by the hand of death on March 26th, 1827, aged 57, his end being hastened by the cruel conduct of an ungrateful nephew.
