Animal Language.

SOME animals live in society, others
travel in tlocks. In such aggregations
there is plainly developed q sort of Ian
guage adapted for establishing concert of
action among the individuals. In build
ing their lodges, how could beavers make
regular division of labor, and so per-
fectly coordinate their work, if they were
unable to understand one another? The
marmot, acting as a sentinel, could not
warn its fellows of the approach of dam
ger if it did not possess the power of Civ
ing signal, the meaning of which they
understood. When swallows are about to
migrate, some of them appear to be con-
cerncd about the performance of the peri
odical voyage some time before the rest;
they flock together and utter their cali;
they fit hithcr and thither TO summon in
dividuals who, in their folly, take no note
of the change of temperature. Is it not
! nlQIuJbAl these birds know @iaw tn sa J.:
But in all probability the language Of
animals gives expression only to very
simple expressions and ideas. But, mas
much as we do not understand it, we can
not define either its extent or its true
character. Some persons have the power
of initiating the calls and songs of birds;
and birds, in turn, repeat human Ian
guage, without, however, understanding
its sense; it is only very rarely that we
can recognize in the phrase uttered by the
inhabitant of a cage the expression of a
desire. Man and dog, close friends
though they are, understand one another
only by means of sort of pantomime,
Eventually the dog understands some of
the words spoken by his master, and the
man understands some of the vocal ex-
pressions of his trusty friend; and this is
the highest result of long association. 1t
appears as though, by Supreme will, an
insurmountable obstacle had been op-
posed to all close communication between
man and animals-Emile Blanchard, In

Development Of the. Violin.

THREE hundred years have not Taased
since the violin began to rise from its
original obscurity. When il was invent
ed we do not know. Like most good
things, Topsy included, it was-not born;
1t "growed" II was gradually developed
from some yet undiscovered germ, like. il
we are TO believe the Darwinites, the hui
man creature whom it delights by express.
ing his emotions and his sense of audible
beauty with such unrivaled facility and
power. 1t began when the-first vibrating
string was stretched across a resonant sur
face, which answered the double purpose
of sounding board and support; rude ex.
amples of which are found even among
the most barbarous peoples. This is the
beginning of all stringed Instruments;
and from this the progress Is divergent in
two lines, some of which passes through
the Tyre, the harp and the lutte, and ends
in the piano-forte, the other passing
through the crwth, or crowd, and the vio-
las in their various forms, and ending in
the violin and violonccllo. The distinct
i've Characteristic of the violin family is
that upon them the musical tone is pro-
duced by drawing bow across the strings,
and the various musical notes by the
pressure of the players fingers upon the
strings at various intervals. 1t is this
direct communication of the performer
with the strings, both in the production Of
musical vibration and in the stopping as
1t is called, of the notes, which gives the
instruments of the violin family their pc
culiar expressive power, and their unap-
proachable superiority 1t is the human
touch upon the chord which makes its
tone so touching, which gives that tone
its human quality, in which it is not only
without an equal, but without rival. 1t
is kind of direct communication with
the soul of man, which gives the violin
alone among all musical instruments, "a
soul" There is no emotion which the
violin cannot express, from that of the
mere consciousness of serene happiness,
and sense of beauty, TO that of the pro-
foundest and most agitating woe that can
disturb the human heart. 1t laughs and
chatters; ii weeps and walls and shrieks
and sobs, with the utterance of ruined
happiness. When Beethoven, at the end
of the funeral march in the heroic SYM
phony, makes the great instrument, the
orchestra upon which he played with
such divine mastery, sob forth the theme
in broken phrases, it is upon the violins
that he depends for the utterance of that
grand emotion. Modern music would be
impossible without the violin.-RichaTd

A Sudden Rise In Fortune.

ONE Uf the passengers bound to Europe
ON the steamer Queen, which left this port
last Saturday, was young man named
James Shirley, whose sudden rise in for
tune is quite an interesting story. Shirley
was recently boOtblack, and had his stand
near St. Paul's Church One day about q
month ago he blacked the boots of Mr..
Frank Darlington, OF No. As East Tenth
street. This gentleman by mistake handed
the boy 500 gold piece instead of asilver
half dollar, and told him TO keep the
change, The boy was so dazed by the
gift that before he could recover from his
astonishment Mr. Darlington had left, He
searched for him in vain and that night
gave the money into the hands of the
Superintendent of the Newsboys' LOdg-
ing Home, desiring him to advertise for
the party and return it TO him. The next
day Mr.. Darlington was discovered, and
the gold coin restored to him. He was so
pleased by the occurrence that he institut-
ed inquiries regarding the boys associa-
tions and honesty, and was so impressed
by his wOrthiness that he determined to
adopt him. The boy was only too willing
10 accept the offer, and after a few weeks
schooling he was called upon to accom-
pany his bcnefactor upon trip to Europe.
On Saturday he distributed poeketful of
nickels to his old bOOtblack friends, and
babe them good.by. The boys gave three
cheers, and few passengers for Europe
have departed with more aflectionate God
speeds than the young man whose honesty
has led him into the path of fortune.-
