fellow with the Archduchess Marie An
toinette. who was year older than the
little Mozart.
Wolfgang was not quite eight years OF
age when he appeared, in 1776, at the
court of Versailles; he played the organ
IN the kings chapel, and was considered
to equal the greatest masters. At this
epoch he composed two sonatas, one OF
which he dedicated to Madame Victoire,
the kings daughter, and the other to the
Countess de Tesse.
Mozart was but thirty-six years old
when lie died. it was while engaged in
the composition of his famous Requiem,
which had been ordered by some unknown
person, that he felt his end approaching
Il am working for my own funeral" he
said. In fact, the excitement of compos-
ing increased his fever to such degree,
that his wife, by the orders of the ply.
s.cians, was obliged to withdraw him from
his task. His health then somewhat im-
proved, and he resumed his work in the
nope Of completing the design. Death
however. put an end to his labors. The
AgHus Del, which terminates that wond-
erful composition, was the song Of the
swan Of the great artist; it breathes all
the profound melancholy, tho religi
fervor, that filled his soul.

his attendants TO bring him Requie M.

He died on the 7th OF December, 1871.

How GREENBACK PAPER Is MADE
ALL the paper for the money issued by
the United State. Government is manufac-
tured on siXty-two inch Fouririn-
ier machine. at the Glen Mills, near
West Chester, Pa. Short pieces OF
red silk are mixed with pulp in
the Engine, and the finished stuff is
conducted to the wire without passing
through any screens, which might retain
the silk threads. By an arrangement
above the wire cloth, shower of short
pieces of fine blue silk thread is dropped
in streaks upon the paper while it is being
formed. The upper side. on which the
blue silk is dropped, is the one used
for the face of the notes, and, from the
manner in which the threads are applied,
must show them more distinctly than the
reverse side, although they are imbedded
deeply enough to remain fixed. The
mill is guarded by officials night and day
to prevent the abstraction of any paper

A Curious Compact.

The Indianapolis Sentinel relates the
following incident: Young Anderson,
the lawyer, whose funeral occurred
Wednesday, was a cousin of Earnest
Morris, and between them there existed
the greatest friendship. There is a
compact entered into and signed by
them two orthree years since, to COM
pare notes at the age of forty, and see
who had achieved most in the world of
science or letters-but alas for the I'M
certainty of all earthly things! So i'm
pressed with the spirit of rivalry was

lingering sickness, when unconscious,
he would mutter TO himself audibly,

I know not whether truly, that Mr..
Marsden made but a single condition,
viz, that the picture should not be ex-
hibited by Mr.. Millais. Subject, size,
and all the rest, seem, II this account
be correct, to have been left to the
painters discretion, and about twenty
per cent. of the purchase money was
paid down to bind the bargain. Mr..
Marsden, Of course, intends to exhibit
the picture himself. The number of
people who will go TO see it solely be-
cause of the amount paid for it is not
small. Then the copyright is doubtless
included, there will be an engraving
which will also be fashionable and sell
largely, and finally the picture itself
will remain TO be sold. Altogether, it
may turn out a good speculation. lIol-

A Cooperative Experiment..

In Scribner for May, Charles Barnard
has "A paper on "Some Experiments in
Cooperation" in which he speaks as
follows of the Springfield Nt.) Indus
trial Works, Il successful cooperative
enterprise:
AT the benches are young men and
women in about equal numbers, dis
tributed according to the demands OF
the work or their W ability. Pre-
cisely us in any mandatory, there is a
regular system of work and a perfect
subdivision of labsr. BY the peculiar
method of selection, each one has the
work that the majority think he or she
is best suited to perform consistently
with the best interests of the establish
ment. On going through the various
departments, one can not fail to notice
the quiet and order that prevail. There
is a rigid adherence to business that is
positively refreshing. Persons familiar
with w.rking people in mills and shops
Il readily recall that calmness of
manner, and ingenuity in doing moth
ing with apparent energy that charac-
terize some of the workers. Not a trace
of this can be seer in the Industrial
Works.
The sun goes down, the lamps are
lighted, and the work goes on without a
pause. 1t is hammer, hammer, with all
the regularity and twice the energy of a
clock. The whirling shafts spin stead
lily, the shavings fly from the planners,
the paint-brushes slip along quickly in
nimble girl fingers. 1t is work, work,
work with a jolly persistence. The six
O'Clock bell rings, and no n seems to
discover it till the reluctant engineer
turns off the water, and the Gathering
machinery uns slowly and finally stops,
as if it also held shares in the company.
We may join them at their liberal
table; forty or more young men and
women in good health and the best of
spirits. They are well-dressed, intelli-
gent, with manner self-respectful and
courteous. After supper some amuse
themselves with books, music, and
games, and some return to the shop for
extra work. All are apparently con-
tented and happy, and all, without ex-
ception, are making money at a rate
seldom equaled by people in their posi-
ton.
