WONDERFUL MEMORIES. Pliny says
that Cyrus had a memory SO prodig-
ious that he could name every officer
and soldier in his armies; and that
Lucius Scipio knew every Roman citi.
zen by name when that city contained
more than two hundred thousand Ca
|pable Of bearing arms. Seneca speaks
Of a friend, Pontius Latro, who could
repeat verbatim all the speeches he
had heard declaimed by the Roman Or
ators. 1t is said that Joseph Scaligel
committed to memory both the lliad
and the Odyssey in twenty-one days.
Sir William Hamilton tells us. of a
young Corsican Of good family who
had gone to Padua to study civil law,
in which he soon distinguished himself.
He was a frequent visitor at the
house and gardens Of Muletus, who,
having heard that he possessed re-
markable art or faculty of memory,
though incredulous in regard to re-
ports, took occasion to request from
him specimen of his power. He at
once agreed; and, having adjourned
with considerable party Of distin-
guished auditors into a saloon, Mure-
tus began to dictate words, Latin,
Greek, barbarous, significant and no.
significant, disjointed and connected,
until he wearied himself, t young
man who wrote them down, and the
audience who were present; we
were all he says, 'marvelously tired.
The Corsican alone was the only one
Of the whole company aler! and fresh,
and continually desired Mnrctus for
more words, who declared he would be
more than satisfied if he could repeat
the half Of what he had taken down,
and at length he ceased. The young
man, with his gaze fixed upon the
ground, stood silent for brief season;
and then says Muretns, 'Vidi facinus
mirticissimum.' Having begun to
speak, he absolutely repeated the
whole words in the same order in
which they had been delivered, with
out the slightest hesitation; then,
commencing from the last, he repeated
them backward till he came to the
first Then, again, so that he spoke
the first, the third, the fifth. and so on;
did this in any order that was asked,
and all without the smallest error.
Having subsequently become familiar.
ly acquainted with him, have had
other and frequent experiences Of his
power. He assured me (and he had
nothing of the boas,er in him) that he
could recitc in the manner have men
toned to the amount Of tlnrty-six
thousand words. And what is more
wonderful, they all 50 adhered to his
mind, that after u years interval he
could repeat them without trouble.
| know from having tred him, he
could do SO after considerable time" -

HEREDIrY IN MUsIc.-A writer on H.
redity in the CornhiH Magazine gives
some curious facts in respect to the
musical gifts possessed by certain
families. Heredity, he says, shows it.
self i'll more marked way, it would
seem, in the arts than in the sciences.
Taking music we find some remarka-
bic instances. The Bach family, which
had its rise in 1850, and became OK.
tinct in 1900, presents an unbroken
series of musicians for nearly two
centuries of that interval. The hca
Of the family was Veit Bach, baker
of Presburg, and his two sons were
the first of the family who were musi-
clans by profession. "The descend
ants literally overran Thuringia, Sake
ny and Franconia," says Papillon.
They were all organists, church sing
crs, or what is called in Germany
"city musicians" When they became
too numerous to live all together, and
the members Of the family were scat
tered all abroad, they resolved to meet
once year on stated day, with q
view to keep up sort Of patriarchal
bond of union. This custom was kept
up till nearly the middle Of the cigI,-
tccnth century, and oftentimes more
than hundred persons. bearing the
name of Bach, men, women and chill
drcn. were to be seen assembled In
the family are reckoned twelty-ninc
eminent musicians, aud twrnly-eigl,t
Of lower grade. Rossini's family
played music at fairs; Beethnven's
father and grandfather were musicians,
Mozart's father was second capellmeis-
ter to tic Prince Bishop Of SalzLurg.
