Cremon Violins.

We are indebted to Mr.. w. -IIudswell, of
this city, for posting us up somewhat on the
above subject. DR.. Lee, who WAS lecturer
in St. Thomas Hospital, London, and an
accomplished amateur performer on the vio-
lin, entertained great passion for the instrli-
mcnts themselves, and made hundreds Of
experiments to find out the cause of the ST.
periority Of tone III the Crelnona. lie had
Il fine Cremona taken to pieces, and num-
Der Of new instruments made i'll every part
exactly like it, and yet none Of them equal
led it in tone. lie thus found out that it
was not particular form wl,icl, gave these
instruments. Q superiority over all others. lie
then cxperiihen,ed with various kinds OF
wood, aud also treated tho same sort Of wood
i'll various ways, in order to discover if this
was the cause. For example, lie stepped
some i'll alcalol, others in oil, tl,cn died
them, and had them made Of The genuine
Crcmona shape. All these efforts hd& ever,
were vain; the old Cremona sung swcetly
over them all. At last it struck him that
there might be something the 'varnisL
connected with the subject, AMI lie discover,
ed that amber varnislf was tho coating OF
old Crcmo. To work at varnishcs he then
went, ifor lie was determined experiment
ter and goodchems.) and at last he made
a grand hit. by making amber varnisl, in
the same way That c"pal varnisl, is made,
namely, 10y healing tho. e.ambcr, tile pouring
hot oil upon it, lie obtained varnish which,
when applied to his SioIins, improved, their
tones in a wonderful manner. This vnrnish
takes long time to tecomc perfectly dry.

when perfectly dry it is the grand solvent
Of the Crenlona's superiority. Severia, The
famous violinist, and pupil Of Paganinl, was
presented with one of Dr. Lees volins, and
he deciarcl it was equal to Cremona; Of
twenty violins in his possession it was excel

Opium the Curse of China.

Not only do we see these besotted hun.
dreds OF millions crushed for n score of cen.
turles under the the weight of their own
pagan superstitions, in midnight darkness
which has known no breaking; not ONLY
do VIC sec them dcvouriug each other in in
/ tcrlal discussions, and now once more in
volvcd in II war with England in which
France also may join; but the melancholy
fact stares us in the face that a great power
full Christian nation, for the sake of gain, arc
constantly and lawlessIy feeding the fires
that consume millions, body AMI soul and
sink them lower and lower in degradation
and ruin.
In 17G7, hnt 200 chests of opium were
sent from lu,Iia to China, where it was
then used solely as n medical drug. In ! 500,
the importation had increased o 1000 chests
and the Chinese government, becoming
alarmed 10y the rapid spread Of demoraliza.
tlon caused by it, passed stringent laws TO
arrest the voice. The East In,lia Company
then m;'le the trade, which had been unre-
stricled, a monopoly, they having the entire
control of the production of the destructive
drug. In spite of the opposition Of the
Chinese government, they have persisted in
preparing it to suit the taste of the Chinese,
and in smuggling it into the empire in
great quantities. In 1884, 2l,7S5 chests
were imported into China in s37, 80 900 ;
and last year it is supposed that at lcas, IS ;
600 chests were sniugylel into the empire,
for which the company received ut least
thirty million dollars.
The bancful effects of this poison cannot
be calculated. 1t is estimated that it =ile-
stroys at least two millions of its victims
every year, and sinks multitudes into an
abyss Of scnsuality and dcbasement lower
than that OF Lrutes. These arc the results
of a contraband trade carried on hy n pow
ertul company sustained by Christian gov
ernment, solely for the sake of gain, and in
defiance of the laws of Acuthen natio,l!
Were the monopoly abolished, the Chinese
would be left to guard their own coasts, and
enforce their own revenue laws. Major, Gen.
eral Alexander, witness of ligl, authority
on the subject, says, with great impressive
ness: "Great Britain is morally responsible
before God and man for the evils in sup
port OF which SHE has waged one war, and
may, at any moment, be involved in ano,h-
cr. Without the suppression ofsmuggling,
China cannot be brought into the great
community Of nations"
We rejoice that the attention Of pllilan
thropists and Christians in England is turn
cd to the dreadful evils thus inflicted, which
surely demand immediate suppression at
the hands Of II Christian government.

MISCELLANY.
Powers Statues for Mr.. Astor and MIR.
,Lenox-The Statue of Webster.

Florence is becoming somewhat outcrown
as place OF residence tor-torcign artists, or
it is made only a stage and stepping stone,
temporary halting place. on the way to
Rome.- The atmosphere here seems to have
a very soothing effect upon artists. They
even fall asleep. This is singular in a city
where there is SO much to stimulate artistic
talent, and SO uueh worthy of study. Mr..
Hart, who came nearly eight years ago, with
a commission from Virginia TO make statue
of Henry Clay, has temporarily established
a studio in London. lie has recently com
pleted and ideal bust, representing melan-
choly. NJ. Powers still prosecutes his art
hero; indeed hc has nearly attainethis ma
jorty i'll Florentinc life; it being now more
than twenty years since hc came Abroad Not
only. beautiful statues have come from his
hand, but, dearcr to his affections, family
ofintcresting children have grown up around
him; all thoroughly American at heart.
Mr.. Powers has completed the 'Penser-
osa1n commissioned by Mr.. Lcnox, of New
York, and the statue will soon be set off.
The beautiful female figure, which the artist
calls California, modelled for Mr.. Astor,
has been put into the hand OF the worklncn
. ddfing the past winter, and will be finished
in due time. The statue ofAmericai box
cd up and Iemains in the artists studio,
waiting the final determination of the govl
ernment, whether it will be received Or not
The statue of Webster, to be placed in State
street, Boston, is prepared for casting; and
the operation will be performed in few
dayssat the foundry in Florence. Its,
believe, the first work in bronze for Americ,
ever done in this city, or in Italy, the f:,cil
ties for executing this kind Of work not be-
ing so great here as in the north of Europe
Tho color of the medal will be considerably
darker than that of the bronze produced Al
tho Mlnjch foundry, but the effect will b'
quite as god. Tie fidelity to the original
sad:the general artistic excellence Of th'
statsSS cannot buEgive satifaction when th
work IS seen in America. The great ex

: the broad d-skirted dsess coat which 1t is SAT-
