VERDI'S COOL CRITIC.

When Giuseppe Verdis oj?er* "Aidii"
was first t*! r-s prescnicd to Italian an
ileoces the compose* re<-elved the fol
lowing letter, dated May. 1*72, from a
man residing In Uegtrto. * town near
Parma. ami about 100 miles from Ml
I Ian:
"Much Honored Slirnor Verdi? The
2d of this month I went to l*arma,
drawn there by the sensation made by
year opera 'Aldi ' So pwt was my
curio- ly that one half hour before the
! commencement of the piece I waa al
ready In my place. No. 120 t admired
the tttse en scene. I heard with pleas
ure the excellent singers. and I did all
i In my power to let nothing escape me.
At the end of the ojwra I a?ked myself
If I was satisfied. and the answer waa
'No" I start? 1 back to Kegglo. and lis
tened in the railway carriage to the
opinion? Riven upon vvHa' Nearly all
a.-reed In considering it a work of the
: first order
"1 rias then seised with the Idea of
, hearing It again, and on the 4th I re
turned to Parma I made unheard of
efforts to cet a reserved ?e;it- As the
crowd was enormous I was obliged to
' throw amy five lire In order to witness
; the |?erfom>anoe with any comfort.
' 1 arrived at this conclusion about It:
i It Is an opera In wMvti there la sbso
i lutdy nothing which cause* any enthu
siasm or excitement. and without the
pomp of the spectacle the public would
not stand It to the end When It has
filled the house two or three times it
will be banished to the dust of the
archives.
"You can now, dear Sisrnor Verdi, pic
ture to yourself my regret at hating
spent? on two occasion*? 32 lire. Add
to this the aggra ratine circumstances
that 1 depend on my family, and this
money troubles my rest like a fright
ful specter' I therefore frankly ad
dress myself to you in order that yon
may send tre the amount. The account
is as follow*:

from my heart. Betanl
"P. 8.? My address: I'mspero Bert a -

' Verdi happened to l>e more amused
than offeoded at the cool Impertinence
(of this amateur critic, and he Instruct
ed his publisher to forward Slgnor Ber
?anl the sum deruutded minus 4 lire.
By way of Justifying this deduction he
wrote. "The sum Is not qnite so much

he might hare taken his supper st
home!"? Exchange.
