Henry BlagrOvc.

Henry Blagrove, one of the most renowned, If
not the most renowned, OF English violinists, has
died, at his residence, in London, after length
ened and severe illness. Mr.. Blagr0ve, with the
late Mr. Charles Lucas, Mr.. T. M. Nude, Mr.. Graf
tan Cooke and others, most OF whom, like himself,
atterward became eminent In the musical profess
sion, was among the first students admitted to the
Royal Academy OF Music when that institution was
founded, about half century ago. He there dis
tinguished himself, and acquired a proficiency
much like that afterwards acquired on the piano
forte by his fellow student, Sterndale NOW Sir
Sterndale) Bennett In order to perfect himself in
his art Mr. Blagrove went to Germany, and for some
time enjoyed the advantage OF instructions from
DIR. Spohr He also took friendly counsel OF Bernhard
Molique, who, q genuine disciple Of SpOhrs, stood
nearest to that master as composer for and per-
former on the violin. On his return from Ger
many Mr.. BlagrOve, at q concert given by the
Philharmonic Society introduced one OF the con-
certos of Molique, and played so admirably and
with so much applause that when the composer
himself q year two later, paid his first visit to
England ana made his debut with another Of his
concertos at the Philharmonic, the essay OF the
Englishman student cannot be said to have been
ecpsed Mr.. Blagrove during very many years
occupied the position OF foremost vioinist, and
whether as solo player or orchestral "leader" at
the Philharmonic Society, at the Opera or ut the
great provincial festivals, maintained his suprem-
acy unCisputed.

emplifications Of h, But In France the Ia
boring people are descended from long lines
and generations Of lsborers. The inposi1
tons Of the Government under the Enpire
combined with the vice which prevailed Ia
the great cities and the Ignorance Of the
rural population, TO generate an element o.
whichwe have no counterpart. Free think
crs We have, and 'fsmpss" are plentiful,
but happily they are opposed by the moral
sentiment Of the overwhelming use3crity Of
our people, and their influence Is limited.
vi idlcrs and Of criminals we also have
enough, and moro thnn enough, but they
are under such restraint and general con
dcmnntion as TO prevent the spread Of their
communicating example. In France, also,
the social status of the workingmen Is
cloudsd with probabilities which may be
accepted rs ccrtaintics that no alleviation OF
their condition can be accomplished, while
In America every laboring man hopes and
believes that his children. If not himself,
will one day rise to social prominence. II
Is, therefore. apparent that the Commune
and Internationals, with their unbridlcd and
sacrilegious license, will never be able to
plant the seed Of discord on American sol.
But we have labor organizations In this
country which give and will continue 10
give us great trouble. In many of our
large cities just now we hear of strikes, Of
riotous processions In the streets, of cries
Of ''work or blood" md Of demands that

at other seasons when the rigors sf winter

when money finds circulation In Its proper
channels again. and when business Of all
kinds resumes Its wontcd vigor, we shall
hear no more Of them, and with their dis
appearance will also, disappear the angry
agnrian mutterings which now seem to
frighten tinN Teople with belief that

fed by The Paris Commune Is threatened.
The honest working men Of our great cities
have no sympathy with such ideas even
now. but misrcprcsented as they sometimes
are by oilers and worse than idles, by men
whose only aim Is to secure the necessities
Of life without yielding an equivalent there
for, and by the Ignorant rabblc of the streets,
It is natural that unthinking people should
hold them responsible. But to the rcfiec-
