SINGULAR FACT FOR Mr.. DARWIN. In
garden at Billancourt, the property Of
M. Carlin, locksmith, may be seen at the
present moment in an apple tree loaded
with fruit. There is nothing extraordi-
nary in this, but the stock of the tree is
cherry, on which has been grated the
apple, species of golden pipin. The
fruit precisely resembles cherries, the
same form, and nearly the same color ;
but its taste is that Of an apple, and it
contains pips instead of stones. Speci.
mems of this botanic phenomenon were
yesterday submitted to my inspection.
1t must be real curiosity, for it is gene
rally thought impossible to graft pip

Cheap Dry Goods.

Ingersoll & Co. of st. Paul, one Of
the Oldest and wealthiost firms in the
State. still continue to do an immense
business in dry goods. Their policy
is to buy for cash in New York, Bos-
ton, Philadelphia and the other great
markets of the east. taking advantage
of the depressed condition of the
market, and sell for cash to their Gus
toners in Minnesota. In this way
they are able to place dry goods with
in reach Of the people Of this State
at very small percentage higher
price than similar goods could be
bought for in the east.
And they supplement this great adj
vantage by an ''order business" which
brings the cheap goods within the
reach of the farmers of the State, and
Of those living upon the remote
frontier. This system is as follows:
The person desiring to puschase
sends postal card, addressed to sd.
w. Ingersoll & Co. st. Paul." contain
ing request to send them samples OF
the kind of goods therein referred to.
Messrs. D. w. Ingersoll & c. by re-
turn mail will send him small
package ofsamples, each marked with
It's price. The purchaser then COM
pares the fabric and the price with the
goods in his local stores, and if he
finds, as we think he will, that the
goods offered by Messrs. Ingersoll d
Co. are much better and cheaper, he
encloses the sample which he selects.

Prof. julius Erchburg, director of the Bos-
ton Conservatory, has proved by his own
work, that there is not only much pleasure
and profit to children in studying the violin
as an instrument, but also, quite as much, if
not more music in it, as in the much pounded
and abused piano Of Mr.. Erichbergs skill
as a teacher, we have already had proof in the
performance of Miss Persis Bell, who visited
St. Paul with the Barnabee Troupe year ago:
A proof which has certainly exploded the old
idea that the violin was fit only for boys and
men. We have other proofs in the rapid pro-
gress of class of both boys and girls, by a
lady teacher of the violin in this city, togeth-
er with an extract from Dwights journal OF
Music, containing an account of her closing
concerts in which twenty-four pupils took
part, fourteen of whom were young girls ana
children. If only our people could realize,
and substitute for the fearful groans and
squeaks of the cabinet organ, the purer, trueI
music of the violin, what change It Woulo
work in the musical tastes OF our chlldreh.
All honour to a man who in the tace OF pop
ular prejudice has by quiet steady work
proved that to women as well as men, to girls
as we'll as boys, the violin no longer a lot

dence of their skill as musicians their taste a.
