RUBINsTEIN -On Monday evening, Noyl
9th, Anton Rubinstein, the greatest living
pianist of the age, will give one of his grand
Concerts in the Masonic Temple, accompanied
by troupe of eminent artists, chief among
whom are Henri Wienawshi, the world
renowned violin virtuoso, Mile. Louise lieb-
hart, the most popular ballad and lieder sing
er of leading London Concerts, and NJ lie.
Louise Ormeni, a favorite contralto from the
leading opera houses OF Italy The New
York Musical Repieac, referring to a late Con-
cert in that city says
although Robinstein had been heral,led
with all The flourish required to emphasize
the advent of great artist, he has surprised
the American public. The anticipations ex-
cited by the press, respecting great performers
from abroad, have, in SO many instances, suf-
fered, on proof, from imperfect fnlflment,
that we have grown accustomed to disappOint-
ment, and have found it prudent to make a
large abatement from the high strains in
which Introductory announcements are gen
orally written. Our amateurs were confident
of hearing, in Anton Rubinstein, u great
pianist, for his European reputation rested
on too broad and solid a basis to admit Of any
doubt OF his excellence, but they were not
prepared for so phenomenal an exhibition
Of human power as they witnessed at Stein
way Hall on Monday evening last; for it sur
passed anything we have seen In this cOull-
Try before. and trallscended our conception Of
ali the possibilities on the piano forte."

Of the extremi,ies Of a young woman named
Robertson, as they were in y gangrenous condi-
ton. After the operation the girl went 10 Lon

her pair OF automatic hands, opening and
shutting at the will Of the patient. This per-
mitted her TO grasp even so small an object as a
crotchet needle, so that she has been enabled 10
support herself comfortably by making shawls,
&c. The artificial legs allow her 10 walk with
the aid Of cr,,tches. She now writes an excel
lent hand, besides knitting, feeding and dressing
herself One Of her shawls has been presented

Bigg could not have d tired better opportunity
of testing artificial hands and legs. Mr.. Charles
Lamb on bein, told Of a sailor who, in naval
action, had let both arms and 10th legs, ssid il
was pity he did net live-"he would lAave been
such an ornament to society,"" This damsel has
lived to be such an ornament. as well as living
evidence Of the philanthropy and mechanical
ingenuity Of the nineteenth century. The young
Enplishwoman is certainly doing better than 9
man named Jacob Lentscher, Of whom we have
this moment read. Jacob is entirely deficient
in legs but instead of being yirtuons,i in addition

COTTON PROSPECTS.

The following is synopsis of the statement of
the area and condition of the present cotton crop
from the June report of the department of agricu-
tUre An increase in the cotton area is reported in
every state and very small proportion ofths coun-
ty returns, show decrease of acreage. Planting
was greatly retarded by the protracted drouth and
fields that were planted late occasoned some
trouble in attaining perfect stands but recent rains
and renewed efforts in replanting have finally Sc
cured stands Of average completeness. The aver
age increase IN the area throughout the cotton
states, last years crop being the basis of compari
son, will approximate ID per cent. The condition
OF the plant throughout the cotton section is very
nearly full average. Separating the Atlantic
from the more western states. the former stands q
little below the average while the latter are fully
up to the standard of fair condition. The drouth
which prevailed in April ard the frat of May de-
layed the growth, and cold nights in the northern
belt had a further retarding effect. but the album
dant rains and genial temperature which followed
have wonderfully invigorated and advanced the
crops. The following figures represent the condi-
ton Of cotton in the several states, 100 standing
for average North Carolina, SO South Carolina,
%; Georgia, 96; Florida, 95 Alabama, los ;
Mississippi, 100; Louisiana, 1914 Texas, 100;

1T rs always pleasant to see children
enjoying themselves. But there has been
something peculiarly touching in the
sight of hundreds of poor children made
happy-in many cases for the first time
in their lives-by the pleasure excursions
which have been initiated this summer by
true Christian philanthropy. There have
now been several of these excursions,
which were first suggested and have been
managed by the New York Times. The
children have been taken from the most
INDECENT classes of society in various sec
lions of the city-from the industrial
schools, from boys and girls lodging
houses, and from the streets. Multitudes
of them had never known davis pleasure
in green fields and shady groves. In the
second excursion, for example. $50 chill
dren, chiefly from the schools under the
charge of the Caildrens Aid Society,
gathered one morning with their teachers

Much interest has been excited in the
Omitted States and England by the move
ment among the Japanese looking toward
the introduction of the English language
and its literature into the japanese en-
pire and it has ever been stated that
Ghere is possibility that our mother
tongue may in time becoms their nation
al language. The principal difficulty in
the way of this desirable contamination
lies in the peculiarities of the English
Language, and the number OF irregular
verbs characterizing it, as also the want
of uniformity in it's pronunciation. The
idea has been suggested of forming an
improved English language for the bene-
fit of our Oriental friends by making all
the verbs regular, and improving the
photography. Should this be carried
out, it is not impossible that the reform
may be in time adopted by ourselves.
The choice of new language By the
Japanese lies, it is said, between the En-
gIish and the German, and the selection
of the latter is warmly urged by the
Germans. Indeed, that language ap-
pears to be quite favorite. Que in Japan
as attested by the existence of an sxten
sive German bookstore there doing a
large business, and by the establishment
of quite a number of schools for teaching
the tongue.
