A Wonderful ViolinIst.

Paris has a wonderful violinist who,
a correspondent says, is the greatest mu-
stefan he has ever seen. His name is
Remenyi, and he a is gypsy. "He has
Ole Bulls intense spirituality, and he
has added to it something that does not
belong to the North-the voluptuous
rhythm and melody, born of Southern
moonhghts and the perfumes Of rich
blossoms" Describing his methods,
the correspondent says: cat first he
plays only a simple melody over and
over, until people, puzzled, look at each
other and murmur. But that repetition
is for the purpose of fixing the melody
in our minds. Now, with lightning
rapldity, he has darted into a series of
infinite variations, through all of which
we still hear the refrain returning, with
matchless precision. Then he pours
forth long current of appealing cries,
of inarticulate means, of the spirit; of
the thousand things which the soul
thinks, but cannot utter for itself. And
at last he finishes with a mad dance, in
which it requires but little fancy to con-
vince us that we hear the clatter of the
tambourine, the wall of the guzla, the
cllink of spurs as cavaliers dance on the
hard-baked floors of rustic cabins with
pretty maidens. Loud is the applause.
Remenyi bows and begins anew. The
Tsiganese who have accompanied him
on the previous composition, now look
puzzled, smile and shake their heads.
Remenyi's improvising. And what
glorious improvisation it is. 1t is the
very climax of passionate expression of
the charm and beauty of existence, a
wild nature reveling in the mere enjoy
ment of life. Even the gypsies are in
spired by Remenyi's inspiration; one
by one they join In tho music, ord 90
gradually form an undertone to the mas
ter's Interpretation. He plays on and
on, regardless of time, space, people,
everything and anything in the world,
until at last the inspired moments have
passed, and he finishes the noble COM
position with a little madrigal, the
measure of which causes the gypsy
faces to light up, as with the warmth of
recognition of familiar air."

A Lost Colony.

d The discovery of mound in North
Carolina, with a number of well-pre-
served corpses of an unknown nationali-
ty, has revived a hope of Sir Walter
Raleigh, that some trace might yet be
found of the famous Roanoke Colony.
The remains and contents of the mound
are undergoing careful examination, and
if it is possible to decide that they are the
Roanoke Colony-lost found-no doubt
it will be done. The human mind dis
likes an unsolvable mystery, especially
one three centuries old. 1t was in 1887
that the famous lost colony, the subject
of so much search, speculation and ro-
nance landed at Roanoke, and formed
friendship with Manteo, who was made
a Christian, feudal baron, as the Lord
of Roanoke, the first gentleman in
America. 1t was that colony that gave
birth to Virginia Dare, the first child
born of English parents on the United
States sofia female, by the way, which
would have entitled woman to some
rights of priority if she had not been
unfortunately lost, without perpetuating
herself in posterity. 1t was three years,
on account of war, Spanish armada and
home troubles, before ship with sup
plies and the governor of the colony,
Virginia Dare's grandfather, returned to
Roanoke. All that remained of the
colony, or Manteo and the friendly
Indians to tell of its fate was the inscrip-
ton, "Croatan on the bark of tree
No search was made then. Afterwards
Raleigh sent five times to seek his colon
lists, but no sign or trace of them ever
appeared. The Indians at later day
claimed to have adopted the colonists,
and their physical characteristics give
some color to the theory of adoption and
amalgamation. The lost colony has been
the theme of many a story and of great
deal of discussion, which the curious
deliver IN the old and half-forgotten will
find attractive. -NdshVtLe Glenn. }

Grecian Beauty.

Much has been said in praise of Gre
clan beauty, and the men are handsome
in every sense of the word; we might
well imagine them to have been the
models of Phidias and Praxiteles. Their
large eyes, black as jet, sparkle with
chances of fire, while the long, silky eye,
lashes soften the expression and give
dreamy appearance of melancholy.
Their teeth are small, white and we'll
set; a fine regular profile, pale-olive
complexion and tall, elegant figure
realize an accomplished type of distinc-
ton. AS to the women, they seem to
have left physical perfection to the men;
some possess fine eyes and hair, but as a
rule they have bad figures. and some de-
feet in the face generally spoils the good
features. 1t is among them, however,
that the old Oriental customs are most
strictly preserved; while the men are
gradually undergoing the process of
civilization they, in moral point of
view, remain stationary and are just as
they were fifty years ago. 1t may, in
deed, be said that, with the exception of
Athens, the women possess no Individual
existence and count as nothing in socie-
ty; the men have reserved every priv
lege for themselves, leaving to their
helpmates the care of the house and
family. In the towns where servants
are kept they are of the poorest class of
peasant who know nothing and receive
miserable wages. The families are gen.
orally large-seven or eight little chill

tion. The morning begins by directing
the work of each servant, repeating the
same thing a hundred times, scolding
screaming, even beating them, to be I'M
derstood. In the evening, when the
children are sleeping, if there remain
some little time, the poor worn-out
mother sits down to her spinning whee

After an extended recess the committee met
again in Washington and proceeded to the ex-
animation Of witnesses. Senator Kellogg was
called and testified concerning the doings of
the returning board in 1876 and the condition
of affairs in Louisiana ~ thaI TIME. MiLuess
tlIvl CIIaJ On the face OF the returns the
Tilden electors had majority but that the re-
turning board had thrown ont enough votes to
count in Hayes, and that this was done be-
cause tho election in some parishes had not
been free and fair After examining witnesses
in regard to appointments made by the Presi-
dent of Louisiana politicians the committee ad-
journed.
When the committee met again the exami-
nation Of Mr.. Kellogg was continued Witness
was questioned further in regard to the
Louisiana election. He denied that he had
ever requested Anderson to make a forged
protest, as was alleged by that witness, and
contradicted all the assertions of Republ-
can fraud made by Anderson and Weber.
This was the pith of long and
tedious examination, nothing further of i'm
portance having been ELECTED when the COM
mittee adjourned.
Chairman Potter has replied to Secretary
Shermans last letter in regard to Offering tes-
timony concerning intimidation in Louisiana.
Mr.. Potter says "Should it later appear that
the specific acts to which you refer have any
bearing upon this conspiracy, or upon the good
faith of Weber or Anderson, or Of the return
ing board in respect of their protests, the COM
mittee will then consider the practicability of
taking the testimony, and that in contradiction
OF it, or of permitting you to use instead the
reports of such testimony taken before former
committees"
On the third day of his examination Senator
Kellogg testified further in regard to the
Louisiana election. Witness had no knowledge

A Sharp Voice.

The following selection is from Elihu
Burritt's book just published: There is
no power of love so hard to get and keep
as kind voice. A kind hand is deaf
and dumb. It may be rough in flesh
and blood, yet do the work of a soft
heart, and do it with soft touch. But
there is no one thing that love so much
needs as q sweet voice to tell what it
means and feels; and it is hard to get
and keep in the right tone. One must
start In youth and be on the watch night
and day, at work and play, to get and
keep voice that shall speak at all times
the thoughts of kind heart. But this
is the time when sharp voice is most
apt to be got. You often hear boys and
girls say words at play with a quick,
sharp tone, as if it were the snap of a
whip. When one of them gets vexed
you will hear voice that sounds as if it
we're made up of a snarl, q whine, and u
bark. Such voice often speaks worse
than the heart feels. It shows more i'll
will in the tone than in the words. 1t is
often IN mirth that one gets voice or
tone that is sharp, and sticks to him
through life, and stirs up nl-will and
grief, and falls like drop of gall on the
sweet joys of home. Such as these get
sharp home voice for use, and keep
their best voice for those they meet
elsewhere, just as they would save their
best cakes and pies for guests, and all
their sour food for their own board. I
would say to all boys and girls, "Use
your guest voice at home. Watch it day
by day, as pearl of great price, for Il
will be worth more to you in days tc
come than the best pearl hid in the sea.
A kind voice is JOY like lark's song
to hearth and home. It is to the hear
what light is to the eye. 1t is light
that sings as well as shines. Train it tc
sweet tones now, and it will keep ii
tune through life"

you may cook your food. To utilize
the heat, it will only be necessary to
have the ovens or stoves properly ar
ranged for it's reception. This can be
done at trit1ing cost. The DYNAMO
electric machine, called ate]emachon.
and which has already been described
in the Sun, may be run by water or
steam power at a distance. When
used in large city the machine
would of necessity be run by steam
power. Ihave computed the relative
cost Of the light power and heat gen.

to the telemachon to be but fraction
Of the cost where obtained in the or.

power it is forty-six times cheaper,

A D1minutive Street Sweeper i.
Persons passing through Broadway

Persons passing through Broadway late
at night may have often seen diminu-
tive figure, with broom yard taller
than himself, engaged with the night
gang in cleaning the street. The little
sweeper's name is John Boilan, and he
lives at No. $50 East Eleventh street.
Next to 'Tom Thumb" or Commodore
Mutt, Little Johnny" as he is called, is
perhaps the smallest man in this country.
He lives in small, dark, rear room of a
big tenement house. An old woman who
occupies an adjoining room was asked if
she knew him.
"Know JOHNNY" was the reply. "Bless
me! have known Johnny for thirty
years. Why, Johnny is next to Tom
Tum; you've heard tell of Tom Tum?"
The old woman went On to relate numer-
Gus anecdotes about the smallest man in
New York, when he appeared in person.
He came up the steps and walked brisk
ly into the room. He is not more than
three feet tall, but very broad for his size.
His head and neck are out OF proportion
to the rest of his body, being as large as
those of full-grown man. He was re-
ticent at first, but gradually became
more communicative. He said he was
forty-six years old, and was born at Bal
lyhechie, County Cavan, Ireland. There
he lived until he was twenty-one years
old. In the old country Johnny had
small hoe and spade made for him, and
contentedly raised potatoes until his pa
rents died and his brothers and sisters
came to America.
Deserted by his relatives, Johnny felt
lonesome. and when the ship which took
them away returned, he went to the cap
tain and told him he was going TO Amer
lea also. The captain advised him to
stay in County Cavan, but his resolution
was taken, and he came to New York
His small stature was sore trial to him
at first. He was sensitive on the subject,
and when he ventured into the streets
large crowd would follow him, and their
curiosity Sc annoyed him that in sheer
desperation he at last made his way to
his friend the captain and told him he
wanted to 90 back to Ireland. The cap
tain soothed his wounded feelings and
told him that once he became known
persons would stop annoying him. So
he went back and stolidly took no notice
Of the attention he attracted. He has
lived in New Yo.k for twenty-five years,
and for eight years has been employed
on the STRENGTHENING force at full pay.
Il can sweep two piles to any of the others
