EUROPE.
The Eastern Question.

LONDON January 81. A Belgrade despatch to
the Times reports that Prince Milan received a
telegram Monday from Mdhat Pasha, proposing
some notifications of the Turkish proposals which
Servia had rejected, and suggesting that all future
negotiations relative to the details of the arrange
ment should be carried on in Constanhnople.
Russia.
Russia appears perfectly quiescent at present.
1t is possible that Russia may make no opposition
to Servia's concluding peace, with the intention
of declaring, in the event of war, that Servia is
virtually Turkish territory, invading Seryia
through the Timok and Morava valley, and push,
ing on to Sophia In this all the Seryians
worth having could join the Russians, without tie
Servian government committing itself in favor of
either belligereDt.

The Grand Duke Nicholas is much better

MUSICAL PITCH.

1t is well known TO musicians tha at du-
ring Tue last century there has been
gradual rise i'll the pitch OF musical
notes; tnat is, the note which formerly
used 70 be regarded, say as A, has grad
ualIy become considered 11atter ans Hat
ter, so that the sound produced by a
given key on a modern instrument is
sensLbIy sharper and more acute than
that given by The CORES ponding key on
an older Instrument. 70 80 great an
extent has this variation now arrived
mat the highest concert pItch of the
present day AT least a tone above
those IN use in 1859; that is, the note
which now is regalued as B fiat, or
even almost A natural, was cOnsid-
cred to be Z natural or close to it in
the first half OF last century, while even
during the last fifty years there has been
IL rise of from semItOne to a semltone
and half in pltch. One fleet of LhIsis
that the music Of tue older composers as
now played produces an entireIy differ
ent e11ot from that which IL was in-
tended 10 DO; IT souH.,s as though it
were transpused in Il Ii CHER key; Whie
music originally written for lair aver
age tenors and sopranos can now he
efficiently sung only by exceptional
voices, the highest notes, which ,ormer-
ly Were fairly III reach ol ordinary cult
waited voices, being now made SO high
through the raising OF the pIicn as TO Oe
expressed only as sCreeUhes and notes
unpleasant through their too great shrIIl-
ness, and cOnse eQuenL defcleucy in rich
ness and tullness Of tone. Tnis differ.
ence OF pitch is acoustically expressed
by saying that the number Of vibrations

note is now considerably greater than

pitches IN use at various dates and dlf.

fe StiVals Of the church, or possibly to the
custom which once existed in schools
and colleges OF greeting the King or
Queen with music and interludes. IL is
matter OF history that @ leen Eliza

fOrmance OF the Adelphi of Terence,
which she witnessed at Westminster,
and expressed her desire that the usage
might be maintained, "fOr the better

eminent OF old Westminsters TEEN with
allusIOns to the Minister PLAY.
Atterbury, when Dean OF Christ
Church, wrote to Trelawney, Bishop OF
Winchester, with many expressions Of
the satisfaction he had experienced at
the performance OF his Lordshp's son Of
the part of "AntlphO" in the "Pnormi0."
"Mr. Trelawney played 'Autipho' eX-
tremely well, and some parts he per-
formed admirably. Your Lo dshlp may
depend upon it thai, in what place So
ever he stands, he shall go first Of the
election to oxford, and snd have all
the assistance and advantage that 1t is
pOssibe for a Dean OF CHRIST Church to
give him." In the winter of 1749 three

WESTMINSTER PLAYS,

The institution best known to the out
side world in connection with West
minister is the Terentian or Plautine
drama, played toward the close OF ev-
cry December, by the Queens scholars,
in the college dormLory. A passage
through a series of compartments on
either side, separated from each other
by thin PARTITION boards, the beds being
concealed by curtains hanging in front
of every little closet, conducts the visit
or TO the chamber that does duty to the
playhouse. On the walls are painted
the names Of past Westminster boys
for many generation back, and among
these, Till within some thirty years
since, the name OF JoAn Dryden was
clearly visible.
The Westminster Play itself is as
much rele Of ancient days as the

celebrations which used 10 mark certain

The recent baby show in New York
closed its two weeks session a few days

tiOn. Hitchcock, the manager of the
enterprise, in awarding the prizes ex-
cudud the unsuccessful competitors
from the hall. About four score of them,
each one armed with a baby aud boil

that the unfortunate Hitch

the squalls of the infants, some degree
of order was at length evoked. A con-
Bultation was held and q resolution
adopted to have the managers of the
show arrested for swindling. The reso-
luton was acted upon instantly and the
entire body repaired to the nearest po-
lice station for the necessary papers.
But the trouble growing out Of
the disappointed baby competi-
tors was as nothing compared
with the trouble caused by the award of
prizes 10 the handsomest mOther-a new
tea ure of the entertainment. In the
hullabaloo growing out Of this award

in both the edge of the brlm and the
band.
Side pleatings are still favored by our
society dressers. The headings to this
| style OF garniture vary--many suits are
handsomely trimmed with pleatings
only.
DOImans, which are now cut with
! flowing sleeves and made nearly long
enough to reach to the bottom OF the
dress, and fur lined silk cardinals, ap-
pear in both original and Partisan de-
signs.
A rather masculine style of hat has
Just been brought out. Tne sole trim
ming consists Of u leather twist fnslened
on the side by small metal buckle.
The fashion is eccentric and rather uu-
becoming.
Worth has introduced new kind Of
princesse dress which he calls the e IL
press. 1t is the former with the dI fer
ence that it is not caught up in boutlant
drapery, but hangs in graceful folds
from the waist tO the loot.
Japanese fans, wide spread, are fast
ened ABOVE chamber doors or windows
to give a touch Of brilliant color to the
room. Those costing from 10 10 cents
are quite good enough. They are Sc
cured with brass-headed tacKs.
Shoes with cork soles are held in TOO
high esteem TO ever be cast aside, The
lasniOn OF feet covering is liked by old
and young ladies, and nence will retain
their popularity at least another season.
Sandals for house wear come in war;
ely OF styles.
Although pOlonaises are still tied
back, the trains and aprons are wider,
leaving more freedom to the limbs.
Skirts remain about the same, the trim
ming consisting OF q deep shirred
lOuuce. They are drawn back rather
less than when aprons were fashionable
but still have the lullness in the back.
A lace scarf, worn about the throat
while on the promenade, is considered
fashionable dress fnisher. TAis mode
Is becoming tO almost every one. Many
ladies' wear a strip Of lace, from yard
to a yard aud quarter long, instead OF
Il woven scarf. Inls style is cheaper,
and looks quite as we'll as the eXpen-
slve lace scarfs.
A gentleman who visited public
school taught by young lady, IN O,-
wegO, n. T., the other day, at her re-
quesL made an address to the souolars,
and asLOunded them ami overwhelmed
he teacher at the eud OF his remarks,
by saying that he was very glad TO see
Them doing SO well, anu hOped that they
would all prize and love their teacher as
he loved her.
A VII Transport Pa, servant girl, who
was about leaving that city. was met at
the depot by seamstress. whom she
mad forgotten to pay for the dress she
was then wearing. An animated dis
cussion followed, the creditor finally
compelling the debtor to take off her
dress In the ladies' sitting-room and to
put on in Its stead another she had tied
up in her bundle.

GENERAL BUTLER's constituents think
he Is not dealing squarely with them.
Although it was well known that his
views on financial questions differed
from his party, it is claimed that he
stands pledged to acquiesce in its de-
mands on that as on all other questions.
He has accepted place Oh the Com
mittee of the Greenback and Silver AS
sociation as Congressman from Massa-
chusetts, which association is organized
to promote legislation favorable to the
Greenback party. And now there is
quite little teapot tempest in the Sew
enth Congressional District of Massa-
chusetts with which the whole State
more or less sympathizes, and Benjamin
Is charged with being as crooked in pol
itics as his starboard eye is in vision.
