A visit TO Giants.

In the London Orchestra we find this account
of visit TO the giants Chang and Anak, who
are exhibiting themselves in Birmingham. The
writer went through the process of 'chin-chin-
ning:"-
''The process of chn-chnning is easily per
formed. You shake hands with yourself at the
level of your Own nose and then work an inn
aginary pump uttering the words Chin, chin
bandly. After that you look happy. Chang is
n mountainous poet with a good face. i could
fancy him a sort of celestial Tennyson, who
would write The ldyls Of the Emperor' If he
liked. He is very fond of shaking hands with
his audience, who don't like it, but are afraid he
will hit them If they object; and blow from
Changs fist would be equivalent to conclusion
with steam-engne. Mrs. Chang is nice lady,
with homeopathic feet. / wanted to know how
she kissed her husband, and Chang informed me
it was his practice to sit down on the hearthrug
and let his wife stand on a chair, by which pro-
cess the marital embrace was performed. She
only kisses him once week-on Sunday morn
ng-owing to the difficulties in the way. On
week days they merely chin-chln each other.

"After entertaining myself with Chang and
his friends, went to see Anak, then exhibiting
under the tutelage OF Professor Anderson. He
also is big man. though not so well made as
Chang, and, fancy, padded. He was dressed
in q curious ancient garment of necromantic
shape, so that Anak, when dressed may be said
TO be an AnakTonism. He talks French, and is
much pestered by mlddleaged ladies who have
been to Paris, and wish to prove 1t. 1t is always

ridiculous, and often wonder whether the dear

FROM OUR EUROPEAN CORRESPONDENT
BoULoeNr, France June 20. 1866.

I. BoULoGNE, France June 90 1866.
You will remember, dear Series Editor, that
promised on leaving America to write to you
regularly; but on account of the War and the
Needlegun OF the Prussians, have been unable
to get anything out of the country, and am
anXiously waiting now to get myself out.
i have Just made ''Glacier Excursion,n which
is the fourth one since l have been here, and
the conclusion have arrived at is this: :-Glaciers
are of two descriptions-those which are utterly
lmpracticable, and those which no man in his
senses would under any circumstances venture
upon. This being the state of the case, and the
weather having been extremely unsatisfactory
during the last three days, your correspondent
made up his mind to give up climbing Mont
Blanc, and flee to other and fairer climbs.
The road from Chamounix to Martigny re-
sembles nothing so much as the bed of your
own Schuylkill, run dry above Manayunk,
excepting that the bouLders here are all loose,
and the walking, of course, is unexceptionable-
of its kind. The journey between the two
places, however, is generally accomplished on
mule. Your correspondent did not start for
Chamounix under agreeable circumstances. 1t
was pouring with rain, and he had no overcoat;
he was mounted on sloping, slippery mule,
which gave one the impression that it was try
ing, for wager, to look as much like grey

ceaseless rise and fall of the ocean. The sue

hands OF the composers of the Freischutz, Robert

The execution-orchestral and choral-was all
that could be desired. The brilliant and snowy
overture TO R0beSpte7Te, which is perfect pho
tograph of the days OF the barricades was re-
ceived with an outbprst of genuine enthusiasm.
The magic wand OF the director causes to pass
before us the gloomy Bastile the mutterings OF
the Revolution and the outbreak and the attack,
with its rafting of mitrdille, pas de charge shouts
of triumph and Defiance cries for mercy, groans
of the diving, the Place de GreVe and its hideous
paraphernalia Of DEATH and lastly, the soul-stlr-
ring Marseilles crowned with fantastic wreaths
of violin, viola, and flute passages.
The other pieces we're splendidly sung, and
the concert was one which the West may well
feel proud of. The numerous visitors from the
East we're surprised toldnd such an incontestable
evidence of the progress of music on this side of
the Allegbanies.

Your correspondent is bound to admit that
sitting up all night in railway carriage does
not improve a Uiudndjere's appearance. When
the only light that lit her up was the flicker

grey of the morning light gradually prevailed,
her skin became less clear and her eyes more
dim than when we started. She was very neat
and trim when she entered the carriage, but her
