These accounts also bring a report that Oviedo, was its
the hands of the Constitutionalists, and that the insur-

singular precision the pieces of music which are marked
upon it, but, what seems almost incredible, that it im-
provises! A theme is written on the barrel ; the Corn-
ponium plays it over, to render it familar to the auditor;
and afterwards, left to itself, and without any external
impulse, it executes an infinity of variations on the same
ti•eme. However complicated the variations, they are
always in strict accordance with the rules of composition.
