APROPOS OF OPERA. Byron somewhere tells a story of an un- sophisticated country mayoress who, on being taken by a London consin to see a grand performance at the Italian Opera House, summarily gave her estimate of the whole thing in these words "Rot your Italianos!

There are good grounds for suspecting that no inconsiderable proportion of any party of average Englishmen and English- women, assembled in a parlor for an even- ing's amusement, would, if they spoke candidly, express their privato estimate of the Italian lyrical drama in terms equiva- lent to those of the honest Birmingham mayoress.
