JuIien,s YioIin.

In 1883 Paganini, who was astonishing all Eu-
rope with his success and by his discoveries, aC-
coDplished radical change in the art of the vic
lin, arrived in Marseilles ncognito, without any ir-
tentlon of playing there. The evening he arrived
in that city, Paganini was walking toward the Rue
beanveau, and entered the Cafe du Commerce TO
take glass OF beer and read the newspapers He
was hardly seated at the marble table when the
squeaing sounds Of a violin drew his attention
suddenly from his reading Paganini looked in
the direction whence proceeded these sounds, and
beheld man with pale face and pinchcd features,
caused by suffering; his dress was ragged but
clean, denotng that his misfortunes were acciden-
tai rather than the consequence Of vice. When
the itnerant artist had finished the air he was play
ing he cast amelancholy look around the tabl,s
OF the cafe, tsok his hat and commenced paete.
Afew miserable pennies, thrown disdainfnlly into
the yionst's hat, formed the meagre receipts, ard
the artist gathered them up with sigh.
He was preparing to leave the cafe to try his
fortune elsewhere, and already was the box that
was to receive the violin opened, when a person
Of strange appearance arose suddenly from his
seat and without saying word took the violin
from the hands Of the poor musician, and played
on the fourth string of the instrument the grand
and soulstirrng prayer of Moses, Zone Of the most
beautiful inspirations Of Rossini The persons
present are astonished they question each other,
the games cease, the enthusiasm is at its height,
narqiy 90 tney breathe, some one has pronounced
the name of Paganini! The generous action Of
the illustrious violinist was understood, and this
time franc pieces fell plentifully into the poor ar
lists hat, who was at loss to express his graft
tude. This is not all; an amateur Of music,
great admirer Of Paganin M Gurchard, deter
mined to possess the violin upon which the first
yiolinist had just played and he purchased it. Ten
years afterwards, in l849, Paul Julien, who was
then only eight years of age, played at soiree
where M Gurchard was present.
This gentleman, full of admiration for the preco-
coustalent Of Paul, made him apresent of this pre-
cons violin, at the same time saying to him .'My
friend take this violin, from which the bow of Pa
ganini has drawn sweet music, and caused the
tears to flow from those who listened keep il as
a remembrance of me-" Paul Julien accepted the
instrument with joy, and with that love Of the art
which already filed his soul, he replied: This
violin, sir will respect all my life, and the day
when shall play upon it, after Paginini shall
have taken my place among artists worthy of that
NAME" This violin, carefully preserved since that
time, and strung with single string Is the one on
which Paul Julien has chosen to execute the varia-
tions of Mayseder, Of which we have spoken
above. 'Paganini will, from his tomb, silently ap-
plaud the bold undertaking of the young artist,
and will thank him for the homage thus rendered
to his memory

American Mido,xs.

The New York Mirror of Friday says The As
sociation for the relief of American Widows held
its first anniversary at the Tabernsca last ninht
Tho attendance was large, The object of the So
ciety is to afford relief to widows land their chill
dren of course) who are nativc-born, and of whom
there are hundreds in our midst, struggling to live
in a respectable manner. 1t is well known that Of
this class of unfortunates very few can be brought
to ask charity until their suffering is extreme.
They are sensitive, as belongs to American blood,
and will submit to the greatest dcprvations before
they confess 10 pauperism. They are, also, most
intelligent and willing to be industrious, when
aught can be found TO do. The purpose Of the
Society is to search these out, and relieve their
distress before they are forced into absolute pau
perism.
In explaining the origin of the Society, Solon
Robinson said
"When Mr.. Deshler, of Buffalo, sent on his gift
of -four, those now members of the Association,
while distributing II, were much affected by the
discovery Of the extent of misery from want Of
food and clothing, among a class who had not be-
fore known want, and who were too proud to beg
publicly. This discovery caused the organization
Of the American Widows Association"
Ii was found on extended investigation, that
many of the widows sought TO be relieved, had
pawned their clothing and effects TO a surprising
extent, and for miserably small sums. II was de-
cidcd, as far as possible, to redeem these pledges.
The sums obtained Of the pawnbrokers for clothing
ranged as follows: for feather bed, 81 30; for a
| quilt or blanket, 81 cents; for pillow 20 cents
| for COMMON shawl, 81 cents for a velvet or
otherifne cloak, So, &c. The entire receipts Of
the Association up to last evening, were $s,250,
all OF which has been expended. Nearly all of
the money has been expended In redeeming arti-
cles from the pawnbrokers Seventeen hundred
tickets have been returned by the Association,
| for which three thousand articles have been Oh
tained and many Of them returned TO their owners,
at cost Of $4,000. Among the things redeemed
are many keepsakes and articles Of jewely, which
the Association has retained, and proposes to re-
tain, until the ownors can pay for them. During
the speaking last evening, a collection of Sls7
/ was taken.
