alist, who said Ia his Majesty that he
wished To place II loan in the Islands.
and begged permission To be allowed to
draw his check for the amount due To
the Minister, (StO,0OO.) and take the
loan at Il less rate Of Interest. The cab

not suffered by his alroit stroke Of

they are treated with tn. most distin-

especially in musical art.
Ole Bulls early attempt to master
the mysteries of the violin, dates back
to the sixth year, when an uncle good
cello performer. presented him with a
little pine violin. las yellow a. a
lemon" Partly by his quick ears, and
partly by his uncle's instruction, the
child soon learned the principles which
governed the instrument, and showed
so much talent that he Interested his
mother, who showed a desire TO have

when he was hut seven or eight years
Old a musician passing in search of
pupils was called in IA see the boy vic.
ilnist, and satisfactory arrangements
Tor his instruction were made. A few
lessons ended the relation Of teacher
and pupil. however, As the boy turned
critic, and complained that the teacher
was incompetent. Another teacher was
found. and yet another, but neither
held their positions long. for Ole Bull
rapidly developed such q knowledge of
the instrument, and he was so keen in.
perceiving the inaccuracies of his mast
ers, thai he was not a very comfortable

He was thirteen years old before he
found a competent teacher. and this
man, from being astonished at his
rapid progress and great capabilities,
became jealous Of his skill. fearing to
see himself eclipsed, as indeed he pres
emily did, in spite of his endeavors to
keep the boy back and disparage his a.
tainments.
