from Adam, is mentioned, as the father of such

Egyptian obelisk brought TO Rome by Augustus.
Moses sang after the miraculous passage of the
Red Sea. Music formed an essential part of ev-

musicians by office, which was hereditary. Al

A CHAPTER ON MUSIC.
BY THE EDITOR OF THE cAD1z SENTINEL.

Here in this our beautiful village of Cadiz, we
have decidedly musical population. The old
the middle-aged, and the young, are all mus.
clans. We have Democratic Band, Wing
Band, and a Tyler Band. This last association
is decidedly sui generis! Who its members are

descripts, who can't be found in day light. and
don't know each other at night! They meet
enthusiastically, when something of unusual
interest occurs, such as a wedding for instance
and then the way they make themselves heard
is caution TO bull-frogs! -
- 1t is most delightful one of these lovely nights
when pale Cynthia's soft and sllvery beams en-

mating strains of the, flute, claronet or guitar

Is fit for treason, stratagems and spoiIs.n
Every nation of the world that we read of in
history has paid more or less attention to the cul-
tivation of the delightful art of Music. Whether
our ancient progenitor, Mr. Adam, or his ama,
BILE spouse, Mrs. Eve, played on the flute, guitar
or piano, we have no data from which to form
an opnon-but it is quite certain that thoil
Paradise was lovely spot, and made vocal by
the sweet notes of Phlomel and her feathery sis
tiers of song; and it would seem to be natural
conclusion that Madam was fascinated by the
"concord of sweet sounds " on THAT tree, in.
stead of the willy eloquence of Beelzebub.
Lucretius informs us, in the fifth book of his
poem De Rerum Natma, " that the birds taught
man TO sing, and that the invention of musical
instruments was suggested by the sounds produ-
