1FRENCH OPERA'S MESMERISM.
3It is the fashion among certain critics and musicians to decry the efforts of the French Opera Company now singing in this city, but people who sat in the front row of the second balcony at a recent performance were convinced that these singers have powers their detractors wot not of. So seductive were their tones on that particular occasion that they charmed souls clear away from the enshrining bodies, and when this separation of the earthly and ethereal is accomplished, surely music has reached its highest end.
5The lump of clay that was thus temporarily deprived of the vital spark was a man big of frame and swarthy of countenance. His appearance from crown to toe spelled "Southern France," and whenever he spoke his vowels and consonants confirmed this impression of his nationality.
7But he didn't speak often. From the opening notes of the prelude on up to the beginning of the last act his interest waxed keener and keener, and when the trio near the end of the opera was reached he sat absolutely still and motionless.
9The man in the next seat watched this growing enthusiasm with much concern. The neighbor was a phlegmatic Englishman. He didn't know the Frenchman, and had no personal interest in him, but he respected him as a man and a Christian, and instinctively he deprecated the evil consequences foreboded by this intense strain. When the trio were well under way the Englishman's alarm reached the point of irrepressibility, and he leaned over and nudged the Frenchman gently. The swarthy man never blinked. A few seconds elapsed, and the Englishman nudged again. Still the operatic crank failed to respond to this somewhat primitive salutation, and presently the Englishman repeated the performance, this time with exceeding vigor. The Frenchman shrugged his shoulders, angrily.
11"Confound you!" he mumbled. "You let me be. You one big fool."
13The Englishman flushed. "Oh, very well," he said, testily. "You don't have to look if you don't want to. I just wanted to tell you that your nose is bleeding and the blood is dripping down all over your shirt front. I thought perhaps you might like to know about it."
15For a second the Frenchman shifted his eyes from the stage and surveyed the crimson streaks on his shirt bosom ruefully. Then he drew a yellow handkerchief from his pocket and applied it to his nose, and a few seconds later all his physical ills were again forgotten in the glories of 50-cent opera.—Times.
