A TEMPTING OFFER.
Eight thousand dollars a year for life, or £3O a week, is the tempting offer which has been made to Mr Leslie Stuart for an option 4m the American rights of all the music he may write in the future. For certain reasons Mr Stuart has declined [the offer, doubtless to the dsappointment of those who made it. for his works are every year gaining in favour m the States. Out of "Florodora" alone the owners of the American rights made a profit of nearly £IOO,OOO. In his younger days Mr Stuart was regarded as a musical marvel. When he was little more ! than twelve years of he could 'play nearly every Mass that Haydn and Mozart had written, and every one of Beethoven's sonatas too, relying entirely on his; memory.
