JUST THE SABIE.-SOme years ago, so
the story goes, a farmer living not a
Thousand miles from New York, gave
one Of his sons some money, and told
him to 90 out West and remain two
years at the end of which time, If he
would return to a specified place, one
of his brothers would meet him. The
young man went, and returned and
met his brother according to appoint
ment, although no communication had
taken place between them during the
time. While going home together, the
wanderer, after relating some Of his
adventures, inquired whether anything
had happened since he left home for
the West2
''HIo, not a single thing" said the
other, everything is just the same as
when you left-except that the old crow
died"
sIndeed," :" said the wanderer, "and
is the old crow dead-what killed him2"
"Why he ate to much meat when the
matched horses died"
"GOOd gracious are the matched
horses dead-what killed them 2n
"Well, you see when the house and
barn burned, they overdid themselves
in hauling water"
"GoOd graciousi ale the house and
barn burned down-how did ithappen
"Well, you see when daddy died they
were carrying. the lights around and
were careless
"Good gracious and is daddy dead
what was the matter with him ?"
"Well, you see when Sal ran away
and got married against daddyis wishes,
he just pined away and died"
GOOD gracious ! 50 nothing has hap
pened since I've been nwaY2"

AN IRISH SUPERsTITION.-Afe few weeks
ago the body of an American sea cap
Of Meyross, in the western part of the
county of Cork. 1t was duly buried in
the churchyard. Subsequently the
friends of the drowned man attempted
to disinter the body in order to take it
to his home in this country. They met
an unexpected opposition. The peasants
of that region haYe a traditional notion
that the exhumatiOn of a body which
has been for some time buried viii
cause extraordinary mortality in the
parish for the twelve months following.
Accordingly they thronged to the
churchyard and drove the strangers
away. The parish priest tried to rea-
son away their fears, but he produced
no effect. The churchyard is now
guarded by sentinels day and night.

It is again reported that Louis NapOl-
con has proposed to the Governments
of Europe a European Congress for the
settlement of the Roman Question. The
italian people may justly ask whether
the Roman Question concerns foreign
powers any more than the French Rev
olutiOn of 1S48, and the elevation of
Louis Napoleon to the throne. A Con-
gress for the settlement of the French
Question in IS48 or 1852 would have
been denounced in the strongest terms
by the same man who now demands the
settlement Of a question purely Italian,

with one and the same team. We give
below some of the statements and also
the name of the successful competitor.
The amount of work done is really
wonderful, as all will see upon reading.
This celebrated machine can be seen at

JARVIS & SCHM1rz's SYMPHONY CoNCERT.-
Ihe last of these splendid entertainments came
OIL at the Musical Fund Hall on Saturday even
Ing last, and, Notwithstanding the inclemency
OF the weather, large and highly dscrimi-
mating audience was in attendance. The per-
formance was one Of the finest of the Symphony
season, ana proved htt1ng JtHdte TO the bril-
liant and successful SERIES A pleasing episode
connected with IL was the presen tation TO Mr.
SchmitZ, the talented leader, of n beautiful
baton, made of ebony. and heavily mounted
with gold. The gift came rom the orchestra,
and was handed to Mr. SchmitZ bv CoIonei
Fitzgerald, who, in the remarks accompanying
it, said that, in the pleasing duty imposed upon
him of presenting the splendid testimonial, he
could emphaucally say that, as man and a
musician, no one was more deserving of such a
high compliment. Colonel Fitzgerald was
warmly applauded, and the audience seemed
very much gratified at the interruption and its
cause. Mr. SchmiJz did good service with the
Ooton IN the piece that concluded the concert
the "Fackeltanz"-and the curtain dropped on
the most successful season of classic music ever
given in Philadelphia.
MR.. WoLFsoHN's FIFTH MArINEE.-Such
concerts as Mr.. WOlfsonn provides for this
public would be regarded in any European city
as belonging to first class exhibitions OF the art.
The programme is Il splendid one. Mad'lle
BrlnkeThoh, one of the best Interpreters o.
classic songs in America, is to sing the greatest
vocal composition of the grand old maestro
Beethoven. Besides, Mr. Wolfsohn PLAYS the
accompaniment. Such a work, with such expo
nents, ought TO satisfy the most fastidous taste,
and we doubt not 1t will. Mr. Wolfsohn plays
some choice compositions of Chopin, Liszt,
Schumann, and Schubert; and as these authors
are oil so familiar to his mind and talents, n
most perfect rendering may be expected. Tickets
may be had for any single concert of Mr.. Wolf
sohns series of piano forte matinees.
CONCERT OF THE WILLOW GLEE." This
evening the "Willow Glee" give a first grand
concert at Mechanics Hall, corner of Fourth
and George streets. From what we have
learned, we are satisfied that those who attend
will enjoy a rich treat. The programme is
varied with choice selections, and will do
doubt please and crafty. We trust that their
first public entertainment will be hatteringly
received and attended.
