The Remenyi Concert.

Remenyi has come and gone,
leaving but a memory of the sweet
strains that for q brief hour en-
tranced his audience. 1t will, how
ever, like flashes of sunlight illumine
the pathway Of the future. We do
not affirm that Remenyi is the best
violinist of this or any other age,
nor that he surpasses in all respects
any of the limited number of world
renowned artists that we have heard
play; but we do maintain that he
possesses a feeling, touch, a mag
netism-an individuality all his
own, and which it is impossible for
anybody else to possess or attempt
to initiate. While he plays, he
seems ob!ivious of everything but
the soul-inspiring strains of his
magic bow, still with senses so on
the alert that the creaking of a bench
or the rustic of dress has as pal
pable an effect upon his nerves as
gust of wind upon the delicate ten
drills of a plant. His whole being
appears wrapped in melody and
sways to the majestic measures Of
bis own creation. Gentle har-
monies, of scarcely more volume
than a breath, steal upon the senses
like sweet incense, then die away in
silence to which the beating of
the heart keeps time in rhythnical
throbs; then it begins again in raw
ishing nolian notes gradually swell
ing into volume of harmony grand,
perfect and irresistible. Whole pas
sages, in the harmonic scale, glis-
tened like string of pearls as they
fell from the master touch, and we
had scarcely time to contemplate
their brilliancy and beauty, before
they were followed by II wild, i'm
passioned concord of sweet notes
which fairly took away the breath
with delight, while we wondered if
they all could be really produced
from a single instrument in the
hands of one performer. We doubt
whether there was anybody in the
audience who did not realize that
they stood in the presence of one of
the worlds great performers. They
might differ as to the relative value
of the talent and genius possessed
by Ole Bull, Camilla Urso, or Rem
enyi, but they could not fail to ac-
cord precedence to the latter in all
that partook of his individuality.
Some Of the selections could scarce
ly have been equaled by any other
conception or rendition, and with
these he has interviewer his own ma
ture.
The singing by Miss Thurston and
Mr.. Kinross and the admirable per-
Torrance of Mr.. Quicken on the pi-
ano, would, in the absence of Rem
enyi, have constituted very accept
able entertainment, without any aid,
but. as is usual in such cases, their
light was eclipsed by the planet of
greater mag nitude.

The new fire cistern, on the corner
of Third and Cherry streets, in East
Olympia, is fast approaching COM
pletion. A great deal of difficulty
was experienced in digging this
reservoir. After the workmen had
descended about three feet, large
logs were found lying directly in the
way. It is believed that it will be
one Of the best supplied cisterns in
the place. Numerous small veins
have been struck and it is found al
most impossible to keep the water
out OF the way OF the workmen.

HE managers of the Oregon State
Fair are discussing the question as
to how they can best do away with
the ruffianism that every year curses
their exhibitions. This has come to
be most serious matter and great
~ lessons the interest taken by
the people at large in the welfare of
the society. Whether from cupid
ity or chronic stupidity We know
not, but we do know that, for years
past. the managers have regularly
licensed the selling of intoxicating
liquors upon their grounds during
Fair week. Let them forever put
away the cause and they will no
longer suffer from the disease.

association" The society has not been
long enough in. existence to afford the
means of Judging of its practical value.

attraction was the marriage of three
