OLE Bull Ole Bull, the celebrated
violinist, died at Quebec on the 10th of
April. He will be remembered also as the
founder of Norwegian colony 10 North
ern, Pennsy ylvauia, and for other adven-
lures Of practical philanthropy which were
more generous and romantic than success
full The deceased musician was born at
Bergen, Norway, on the 5tb of February,
1910, and was, therefore, only 56 years Of
age when he died Originally destined
for the church by his father, he was sent
to the University Of Christians at eighteen.
But his passion for music soon led him to
forsake his alma Hdter, and to enter
upon that profession in which he be-
came 30 celebrated throughout Europe and
America, and attained success rivalling
that of the most renowned mdestro that has
ever lived -Paeanini himself With prob
ably not 30 much native genius, he never
theless far surpassed the great Italian In
culture, and leaves behind him fame
which. on the whole, few would hesitate
to prefer to that Of almost any .'great
fiddler" the world has produced or known.
His life was singularly chequered with
prosperous and adverse gales; but through
all. he maintained the eheerfulness and
fortitude of brave heart and cultivated
mind. 1t is to be remem bered, to bis inn
mortal credit. that he was distinguished
no less for philan 'hropic labors than for
musical genius. and on two memorable oc-
customs embarked the bulk of an immense
private fortune in grand schemes of
bsne olence.

EXHIBITION OF TRAINED HoRsEs AT ClN-
oINEATI--Ho,ses Drioen Nth the Whip,
a0tttout Bit or Btadle The Cincinnati
Commercial of Saturday says:
The free exhibition of trained horses
announced through the papers, took place
in the Sixth street Market Space yesterday
afternoon in the presence of several thou
sand spectators, and proved as foil of in
terest AS the famous horse exhibitions OF
Rarey some years ago. Two splendid
stations, attached to an elegant buggy,
the shafts of which are peculiarly adapted
to the system of training, the practical
workings of which were exhibited, were
driven upon the square by Mr.. Rockwell, !,
one Of the founders of the system, and
" ere made TO perform the usual move
ments Of harnessed horses without the aid
of bit or Bride. The driver sat in the
buggy, and used long lash, or whip.
which reached to the horses ears, and with
it directed their movements, making one
trot and the other run, and gioe versa, and
both run or trot, as desired. The novelty
Of seeing horses driven in this way excited
the liveIIeht interest in the crowd, which
was at first rather skeptical Of the practica-
bility of the profession made by Mr.. Rock
we'll, but all doubts vanished before the
achievement, which, If 1t possess no other
merit, certainly does that of dem nstrating
the possibility of managing horses without
the painful restraint to the animal Of curb
and bit. st 9
All the prominent horse fanciers of the
city were present, and expressed their
pleasure and satisfaction at the exhibition.
The system of horse training involved
is based upon study of the nature and
habits of the horse, with view to educate
him and is distinct from Rarey's aystem,
which was subduing Of the animal only,
by making him know that he was in the
power Of the trainer. a4 s..s
The horses used yesterday were valued
at $40 900.

WASHINGTON, April 24-The first bre;,ess j.,
order in the House being the cali of cnmnittans
for reports during the morning hour the inint
resolution reported on April 70, from the Com r'
mittee on Roads and Canals to Construct q shi,,
canal around the Falls of Niagara, came nm fdr
discussion. A summary of the bill was publisbed
in the proceedings of the 10th. Mr. Hulburd nj
New York, addressed the House in favor of the
bill. VI "ie
Mr.. Dawes, ofMassaehusetts interruptipo sta ted
that he was DESTROYS of voting for the bill and of
having the work constructed as national work,
but he observed that, in the charter granted by
the New York Legislature to o corporation for this
purpose, there was clause reserving to the State
of New York the right to purchase the canal.
Mr.. Hulburd, of New York, stated that his col
league, Mr. Van Horn, intended an amendment
which would give the control of the work exclu-
sively to the Federal government.
Mr. Dawes remarked that that was what seemed
essential to him.
Mr. Van Horn, of New York. stated that after
consulting with the friends of the measure in the
House, he had concluded to present an amendment
in the nature of substitute for the bill. The SUBJ
sttute differed from the bill in this that it pro-
yded for the chartering of company, instead Of
having the work done by a company chartered by
any state He was authorized by the gentleman
from Wisconsin, Mr.. Paine to withdraw the sub
stitute which that gentleman had offered. He now
presented the substitute agreed upon.
Mr. Humphrey, of New York. denounced the
measure as scheme concocted by men who were
endeayorng to produce corporate rights, accom-
panied by donation of &c. 600, 900 from the Federal
government. 1t protesse 10 have two objects-one
