something rare in the life of a verse maker; we
forget that he was the first American poet to
whom a public monument was erected, and find
ourselves softly repeating the stanzas that are
his own best and abiding memorial:
"At midnight in his guarded tent
The Turk lay dreaming of the hour."
As long as ''Marco Bozzaris" lives in history Hal-
leck's name will be linked with it in literature.
And whoever separates Theodore O'Hara from
the "Bivouac of the Dead?" Always at mention of
his name there rises before us a picture of a Ken-
tucky plain scarred with the graves of dead sol-
diers slain under the blue Mexico sky and brought
home by a grateful country to sleep beneath their
native sod.
Above these graves rises a monument and near it
stand O'Hara building with the molten gold of a
poem a new pillar in the temple of fame, a pillar
that will prove as enduring as the granite shaft
on which is engraved the story of the heroes of
Buena Vista. Through that one poem O'Hara at-
tained immortality.
And there is yet another whose fame resting on
a single song, is as wide as the wings of the uni-
verse. John Howard Payne, out of the misery
and tne homesickness of his heart, wrote the inter-
national anthem of the world. When we speak his
name we do not stop to remember that besides
some plays he wrote a whole opera, "The Maid of
Milan," which was produced in London. We only
remember that on the night of its production, too
poor to pay for a ticket to witness his own work,
he stood in the wings of the theatre and heard a
woman's voice sing the one song of the opera
that was to live because it was its very heart—the
song that, drifting from the doors of the low build-
ing, was given to the winds of the universe to be
sung under every flag and under every starry con-
stellation that watches over flags and men; the
song that we each of us hope to hear the angles
singing as our welcome, as out of the chaos of
death breaks the white dawn of resurrection—the
song of ''Home, Sweet, Home."
And so we see it is not how much a man writes,
but what he writes that makes him immortal and
that the singer of the single con can wear the
wreath that never fades, the laurel crown cut with
the golden sickle in the valley of Elis, if so h :
sings that single song straight to the heart of the
great weary worid.

A GREAT SHOWING IN CHICAGO.
Of considerable moment to the music trade of
Chicago are the four important musical produc-
tions now playing this city, the music to which has
created a lively call. These are "Naughty Mari-
etta," the Victor Herbert-Rida Johnson Young
operetta, with prima donna Emma Trentini in the
title role, at the Colonial Theater; "Macushla."
with Chauncey Olcott, at McVicker's Theater; "A
Lovely Liar," which is scoring a distinct success
at the Olympic, with Louise Dresser as star, and
"The Wall Street Girl," which is drawing large
crowds to the Garrick, with Blanche Ring as the
stellar attraction. The music of these various
productions is published by M. Witmark & Sons,
and if properly featured by dealers should have a
tremendous sale at this time.
