WAR AGAINST HOSTILE Isp1ANs.-Tbs
| government has recently determined, without
| recalling any Of its promises to the Indians, or
varying in the least from Its conciliatory course
| towards the great mass OF them, to hold the re-
| caicltrant and IncOrrigibly hostile savages, no
| matter where they may be found, to q stricter
| accountability, and compel then by the most
vigorous military measures, to ACCEPT its policy
| OF ace. The recent castigatons administerad
10 10 by Crook, Mckenzie, and others is in

great expectations of musical people here OF the
execution OF those two great M 8sters of the

/ were more than realized. Neither made the
| mistake, common with more pretentious but
/ less able musicians, of selecting pieces with a

open the ears OF the uninitiated to a realizing
sense OF the wonderful wealth of sweet sounds
and startling musical effects which lie dormant

called forth by the magical touch Of q master
hand. kubthstein's delicacy of touch is wonder
full, and the dstinctness of every note, from
| fortissime to pianissimo, even In the most hur-
| ried movements, ia hardly more pleasing to a
cultured ear than the "iinked sweetness lone
drawn out" OF pathetic, pleading passages. In
