Musical l~nstrumsuts.

Have any Of q readers, while lis
tening to the mellifuOu5 strains of q
grand orchestra, or even while under
the inficti0a oil the dOleful noise OF q
wheezy organ ground out by some va
grant son OF fair Italia, ever thought
concerning the means OF producing
those sounds, which in tho one case
afford so much pleasure and in the
other such misery2 The subject is ar
interesting one, and an inspection of
some Of the newest and most i'm
proved forms OF musical instruments,
a few days since, leads US to speak Of
them. History gives us no record of
the FIRST instrument used for produc-
ing those harmOnies, the love of
which seems so deeply planted in al
most every being. The harp, the
eymbals, the lutte, and the trumpet
are all mentioned in the Scriptures.
while the fables Of mythology inS.cate

lures and paintings. dating back to
periods prior to that of the bondage Of
the Israelttes, are found figures Fepre-
senting men performing on an instru-
ment which looks like the pipe and
the trumpet combined; bat concur
sions inferred fr0m the custom Of bar
harlan tribes point to the idea that
simply noises made by cymbaIs or
rude drums were mans first efforts to
initiate thesounds Of the voice by me-
ehaaicaI means.
Musical taste in a greater OF less de-
gree is implanted in every one: but
nothing among the various tyDes Of
differs more widely. We
can scarcely comprehend how the IN
earthly noises made by the goD0s OF
the Chinese or the tom toms Of the
Indians can please any enc; and It Is
q matter of surprise and speculation
to find that those people enjoy such
sounds as much as we do the most de.
harm0nies. The advance OF

.THE MACKERELs.-

This is the slang phrase applied to
the little bsre-legged philosophers that
infest the streets Of our city. There il
no more forlorn sight than one OF
these little homeless, shoeless, ragged
Bedoulns found in our midst. Poor
childrenl 1t is not their fault that
they have been born, but, being born,
they must certainly drink and prob
ably eat, and it is a sad spectacle to
see them munching the crust which
accident has thrown in their way.
Home" to them Is not reached
through pleasures and palaces
There, in the society ofnumerous little
vagabonds, the ragged "msckerel y
enjoys himself In his own filthy way.
A few weeks since, ia company with a
friend, we walked ont upon the bluff,
between Union and Monroe streets,
and IN a bed Of straw we discovered
what was supposed to be swine, a
couple Of "mackerels" who had re.
tired log the night. On being inter-
rogaied ss 10 theiE condition, they
seemed ready to console themselves
with the philosophy Of the poet, who
was compelled to-
lodge meath heavens blue vault,
With the earth bis bed
And tho slue heavens bis curtain;
The moo1 the lamp
To light bin to bis couch, and the stars
With their hsrps Of gold
To charm with song his slumbers-

THE celebration OF the anniversary
Of the discovery Of America by Column
bus, is eminently proper. On more
than one occasion, the APPEAL has
adverted to this suggestion, and the
action Of the Societa di Itallana will
be approved by all intelligent people.
Not Italians alone, but every true
American, will participate in any de-
mOnstration designed to do honor to
that most illustrious seaman, who
gave the New to the Old World.

The Empress Eugenie is paying q
visit to her mother at Madrid, where
that lady lives in great splendor,
maintaining hospitality unusual in
that country. She has the reputation
of being a marvellously good woman
OF business, and has brought the prop
erty bequeathed to- her by her hus,
band, the Count de Montijo, into ex-
cellent order-a condition in which
the properties of Spanish grandees
very seldom are. The Countess is BY
birth a Scotchwoman, q circumstance
that In the eyes Of some may account
for her keen eye for the main chance.
Probably, moreover, in her younger
DAYS she found it highly necessary to
economic; for, like her daughter, sha
had 'sgfeatness thrust upon her, and
was not poKa 10 it, being TIA dsHghssr
OF a Mr.. Kirkpatrick, who was British
Consul at Malaga where she had the
good fortune 20 attract the notice of
the Count de MontiIO.
