THE COMPOSER OF PINAFORE.

In the. amisc of a peech in response to tlie toat-t '" l'l* • i'l-.'-iik-iit of the Birm'll4h.im <.'!• t Ulu'i," ,tt ,1 i.i.itK 1, bir Aitliur Kullivan ?.ii<l :— " Wm 11 lie was m Ciii f(UUk»H/iuu iiiyiiths ag<i. .it .1 ineftu<g.'<(ix dM geutlt'in in l)i li^ a<ld>cBi witjij.l h,i\e ttavfllcd Mi.ii. iiiKi i-.iu».ii!ei-able ' Will, he had ' travelled some, ami eo'i'-nliMal>l« 1 — (lau^htei)— and boine of Ins e\jn hi 11cm had been curious Amoi»i,'~>t tin-in vv»s une-ra cuuouacaae of m:sta..en identity, moie or less gratifying to him as a u>Urticir»n.

Aa they tlio^e up the timer saidj |P Jhey expect you, Mr Sullivan.' Hewas\ery much pleased, and as he reached the place he saw a number of prominent oiti/eua at tbe whisky stores The foremo3t of them at once camp up tw a big burly iuiiu by his (Sir At thin*) side, aud said 'Are you Mr Sullivan?' The man replied that he was not, and pointed to him (tiia President). The citizen looked at him rather contemptuously, and said : ' Why, how much do you weigh ?' (Laughtet.) He thought this was a curious method by which to test the power of a composer, butr'at once answered, 'About 1621b.' •»Well,'his interrogator asked> 'do you mflau ,to say you gave fits to John S. Bhwkman down at Kansas City ?' (Loud laughter.) He at once explained that he had not given 'fits' to Mr Black man ' ;Wbo are yon, anyway ?' he «aa a<ked. anal answered, 'My name is Sullivan.' •'Ain't you John Sullivan, the alopger?' waa.i^ie next question. (Loud laughter.) He ,at once disclaiintid all title to that, and. said that he was Arthur Sullivan. ' Arthur Sullivan,' queried the citizeu, \Aseypu Ih'e.'man that put "Pinafore" together T (roars of laughter)— a gratifying way of describing many modern compositions, nevertheless. -^(Renewed laughter). ' Well, lam sorry you ain't Johu H. Sullivan,' continued the man, 1 but still I am glad to see you anyway Let's have a drink.' — (^anglitei). So lie had a drink, and received an invitation to spend some time with the company."

A, >kgro named Reed recently a.^-f Buulted iitd imnderni a <ml at Uiilvbs-' town, Alabama, and th»n fled. The entire population htMiclud for him, and eventually caught him on" the Mnbile River. He was taken to the scene of the crime*, where hf oonfes-efl. He' v?aa chained to a tree, and there roasted alive, 1 about 500 por-ons, including both whiten and negroes, watching the Bcenc. Nqi many^ears ago aluminium was^n, alnipfat unknown metal. Jules Verne, the scientific ai>d romantic French novelist, kuowiu^r the (fiialitiL-a of tho metal, used it a&.the martial vi wh^Ji sheila were made winch carried hit, iiPioea on thdr tiij) to the moon. He was evidently writing with a "prophetic mina, for at that time'kluhiiniiiin was almost as c"st)yl »^ silver. Now an^Amciicnn paper tfays the metal of tm> future fs«i!nmh)inm, and that in r» few years it will displace iron and steel, and ie\o!utionise the mdustiia 1 arts, rt'sajs the woild contains ten tinier as,much of it as of iion—every clay bed b^iiig an aluininiurn mine. Jt is three tuned aa strong as Bessemer steel, will not cofrode, is veiy ductile is a thud lighter tluuLCaal iiou, and the law materials for making it arc not worth £4 a ton. FA^'^ho aniiual report; of tbe Se^'e-j taiy of the Na\y_ at VVashington, we' learn that «moa the yteor 16U8 the sum of 415,000,000 bteilmg h.-ss been " sub6tnntially tin o\mi away " in the creation of a'navy which ib practically worthless! and for which there is nothing to show. "It fo'qiU'itiottnble," says the Minister, " whether we hare a single naval vessel finished and afloat at the present time that Could be entiustcd to e'neounter the ships of any important power—a siuj-le \ itsel that has either the necessary armour for ptotection, speed for escape, or >vw»po'tia for defence. These millions hate'been as much as much wasted as if they bad been flnn^ into the sea ! and the condition of fhc na\y is declared by the New' York Nntion to he "the fruit of protection to American industry."
