eight or ten Of these between the
thousand islands and Montreal.
Some are quite small and tame after
the first curious sensation of going
down hill on q steamboat has been
experienced; but some are grand
and terrific in the extreme. Cedar
rapids especially present q sight
hardly inferior in breadth and tu-
multi to the rapids above Niagara
Falls. If you can imagine going
in steamboat through ae strong
est surf that is ever s.. , at Cape
May, and going rapidly down hill
at that, you will have some idea of
the passage of the Cedar rapids.
The hight of the surges is very
great. In the midst of the descent
the river makes a clear drop of
about fourteen feet over a ledge of
rock through which our pilot found
a way invisible to me. A curious
effect is caused by the "white caps"
being all turned up stream.
After sunset we approached the
head of the last and most dangerous
.of all the rapids, Lachine. AS we
drew near the Indian village of
Caughnawaga, on the southern
shore, every eye was eagerly on the
lookout for the canoe of Babtiste,
the old Indian pilot of the Lachine
rapids. For forty years he has
piloted vessels through this dan
gerous passag7. No steamer ven
lures down unless he is at the wheel.
At last he came in sight and rapidly
boarded our craft. He was verify
the observed OF all the observers,
A tall, well built, well preserved
man Of about sixty years of age,
with not very decided Indian fea-
lures, but with a look ofintelligence
and iirmness about him that al
once inspired every one with conf.
dence in him.
In few minutes more we were
in the midst of the whirl and tur.
MOL Of the rapids. At one mo
ment we seemed to be inevitably
dashing upon a large rock whicl
lay directly in our course, and whicl
was mercilessly lashed by the surges
but a sudden turn of the whee
brought US by that also, and sooi
we were in placid water again, ant
before many minutes had elapsed
we had passed beneath the msgnifi
cent Victoria tubular bridge an,
were fast approaching the splendi(
wharyeS of Montreal.

Russian Volunteers In the gervlan
A INV.

London Times Berlin Correspondent
An English staff officer, writing
to the Augsburg Allegemeine, Zei-
tung from the seat of war, reports
that according to the statement of
the Russians taken prisoners by
the Turks, Russian officers join
ing the Seryian army receive a hun
dred ducats from the RRssiaa gov
ernment and the assurances that
they will be at liberty to re-enter
the Russian ranks at the close of
the war or receive the ordinary Rus
sian pension in case they are
wounded. Russian officers have
lately SO much increased that there
is hardly a Servian battalion or
battery without a Russian comman-
der. The influx continues, and
has recently begun to extend to
non-commissioned officers mostly
belonging to the artillery and engi-
neers.
The arrival of these gallant and
experienced warriors, who do not
hesitate to avow that they have
gone out at the request Of their
Colonels and military captains, has
greatly added to the cohesion and
lighting capacities of the Servian
militia. To render their presence
more useful, ships with arms and
ammunition arrive from Russia at
Belgrade, the Turks not venturing
to stop these contraband vessels on
the Danube. These reports are
confirmed by the Russian journals,
which state that Colonel Bulazeff
has left st. Petersburg for Belgrade,
where he will assume the command
of battalion Of volunteers, one
thousand strong, WHICH battalion
was formed and organized by him
self.
The Berlin Post, a journal whose
Russian intelligence generally takes
the Russian point Of view, states
that a host of Russians arc con-
stantly travesipg Roumania on
their way to Belgrade. At a re-
quest addressed to the Roumanian
railway authorities from Odessa the
fare has been reduced by one-hali
for all Russian soldiers on the new
Unfinished line between Odessa and
,Jassv.

Has the hape of the Ear any Mu.
Afcak 3ignincnnco?

A writer in the London Musical
World says A recent cursory de.
scription of TIE well-known Mo-
zarteum, from the pen of an intel
ligent correspondent in a daily pa
per, mentions the fact that amongst
the interesting relics Of the divine
composer exhibited to the public
gaze at Salzburg, is a drawing Of
his ear, showing an abnormally
large bell, as though nature intend
ed him to be a gifted listener. 1t is
noteworthy that in all portraits,
except those painted by the sun
itself, next to the boots the ear
seems to present to the painter the
greatest difficulty. 1t is rarely one
sees a shoe beautifully drawn-per-
haps it is still rarer that the ordin-
ary covering for the feet presents
anything that can be made beauti-
full, even by a skillful craftsman.
With the ear the observer cannot
help remarking the same absence of
individuality. Anything will do
for an ear, and a daub Or two, that
would with equal propriety repre-
sent dried fig or an oyster, would
do duty for the above organ. In
calling attention to this matter |
venture to submit the results of
some of my own observations in the
hope that something more may be
elected on this, as | believe, most
interesting question. And l shall
be extremely glad if any person who
is Of opinion that my conclusions
are premature or erratic will kindly
contribute to the result of his or
her individual experience. Small
ears are invariably under great dis
advantage. Large ears are unusu-
ally indicative of a more compre-
hensiye taste. A narrow harp or
harp-like opening always denotes a
good ear for music. If the harp is
very regular you may safely prog
nosticate a correct intonation. For
u singer the rim must be very even
and the circle unbroken. Any
protuberance on the rim of the ear
will occasion a slight discrepancy of
intonation-the singer will not be
at all times alike. Some have u
double harp-this is dangerous to
the success of the singer. A perfect
double rim is, on the other hand,
advantageous. This is, however,
open to the weakness Of easily be-
ing satisfied with sweet sounds of
any kind. The ear without a rim
is the most dainty and difficult to
please. 1t appears to receive,
almost as it were by selection, only
The best soulds-ordinary sounds
have no attraction for it. These are
. few leading features of the ear.
Seeing that we have casts of pian-
lists hands, would it not be as in
structive to have casts of compo-
sers ears? Surely the one is as im-
portant to the musical student as
the other.

From letter from Mrs Julia L.
W. Plumb, in China, to friends in
this city, we CLEAN some items rela-
tive to the treatment Of girls in
that far-away land. Mrs. Plumb,
prior to her marriage, lived in Des
Moines, and has many acquaint-
ances and friends in this city. She
is the wife of a missionary in that
country, and is living near Foo
chow. The letter says;
Some time ago Nathan and l
went out walking, and man came
out of a house with a tiny little
black-eyed baby in his arms, about
two months old: "Two years DID,"
he called it, for it was born during
the last month of the old year, and
so had lived in two years. Thus
the Chinese count ages, 1t was
clean and bright, and almost pretty,
and he begged us to accept it.
They were very poor; had no cloth
ing or rice for it, and it was a girl,
This last was the crowning misery.
I was sorry there was no fOundling
asylum in the Mission, as there has
been at one time. in its history. |
think if it had been q white baby
we would have accepted the gift.
AS it was, Nathan exhorted the man
to keep it and not drown it, as he
was suggestiyely near the river. He
told him how wrong it was to wish
to kill babies because they were
females, and much more which the
man seemed to understand, and
promised us he would let the baby
live. 1t is not an unusual thing to
find little girl babies cast out to die.
Some time ago was at Earl
street chapel, attending my women's
meeting. A strange woman came
in, and after services were over |
entered into conversation with her,
She seemed to be quite an intelli-
gent woman, and in good circum-
stances, the keeper of a shop. !

said, 81 have but one child" l said,
