CHICKERINa HALL-HERR JosEFFY.


Another concert was given last evening at Chicken
ing Hall by Herr Josefy. The programme was SINH
lar 70 that which he interpreted during the past
week. The audience was not large, the deficit
doubtless being due to the unpleasant
weather. No one. however. can listen
to this SUPERB pianist without feeling that
master is present. He has introduced effects that
have become memorable, and his reputation is one
that will bear favorable comparison with the best
artists of his school who have appeared in America.
It is we'll understood. however. in musical circles
that his repertoire has not been exhausted. and that
If he will give the public other illustrations Of
his superb art than those which have passed under
his fingers he is likely to make q name among
the pianist virtuosos who have visited America
that will not be soon forgotten. The pro-
gramme of the evening comprised the following
selections :-Sonate. op So &c major. Beethoven;
Murmuring Zephyrs Jensen; a. fuga IA minor),
J. s. Bach; b. Bourrec. j. s. Bach gavotte. Padre
Martini; d. menuett transcribed by r. Josefy).
PROPHECY and novelette, No. 2. d major. Schumann;
f. Moment Musical "a fat majorl. Schubert;
O. etude Chopin's valse d fiat. Josefy; etudes.
op. 10. C sharpnminor, major. hat major; b.
Iocturne, C. valse, minor Chopin; d. Tanzara-
beske No. 2, Josetfy; Spnnerlied Flying Dutch
mani, WagnerLisz Tarantella (Venezia Q Napolt),
List, Herr Joseffy.
, Herr Josefy was assisted during the evening by
Miss Fritsch, who first sang 'Murmuripg Zephyrs'
and subsequently aria by Randeggar, which
called tor encore. whereupon she rendered in
pretty form the Scotch ballad entitled ''The Maid
OF Dundee" The entire performance was &C.
ceptable in respect and affords reason for the
hope the part OF the management that the pro-
gramme of the Wednesday matinee will be equally
attractive.

Grain at the Worlds Fair.

The report upon agriculture by J. j. Wood
man. of Michigan. Assistant-C Commissioner
to the Paris Exposition. contains an interest
ing account of the exhibit of grains. 1t says
that the finest exhibit of agricultural prod
ucts from the United States was that of the
Oregon State Commission. The report con-
tains a comparative statement of the present
condition of agricultural interests in the prin-
cipal countries of Europe. noting especially
the points in which they differ from the same
industries in our own country. In France
the average size of farms is sixteen and
half arabic or thirty-three and half
acres of productive land, making 3,977,7Sl
farms. OF these, 2.s2G, 1888 or II per cent.
are cultivated by the owners S3l ,943 or only
81 per cent are rented at fixed price; and
per cent. are worked on shares. The free
use of fertilizers is mentioned as the reason
for the heavy crops realized from small areas.
The advantage of rotation has also been fully
demonstrated in France. in the English ex-
hibit samples of Mold's new varieties of
wheat were shown in the straw and attracted
much attention. Ii was claimed that this
wheat could be sown one month earlier and
would require only one-half the quantity Of
the old varieties and would produce i05grains
from single stalk, and ~ bushels from
single acre The report shows that the aver
age production of England per acre is greater
than in any other country in Europe if not in
the world. In Austria and Hungary 90 l-2
per cent of the whole territory is productive
and the soil is highly favorable for agricul-
ture. The farmers generally own the soil
they cultivate. The average yield of wheat
is fifteen bushels to the acre. An elaborate
and comprehensive table giving the average
amount of the cereal production of the Euro
pean countries which furnish a surplus for
commerce and also those which are obliged
to import breadstuffs, shows that the average
annual production of cereals in Europe
amounts to 5,l47, 79G 900 bushels, of which
Russia produces l,655, OBJ 900 bushels, or
nearly one-third; the whole of Germany,
765. 100000 bushels; France, 10, l30. 900
bushels and Hungary, 800, $3.50. 900. On the
basis of an average of IL 1900 bushels of
cereals for each person for home consump-
ton, Roumenia, Denmark, Russia, Prussia
France, Hungary, Bavaria and Sweden alone
raise sufficient for home consumption. A
comparison Of the production of cereals per
capita for the whole population of Europe
with that for the United States gives the for
mer about seventeen bushels and the latter
forty bushels.

ability equal to the diversity of topics. He
is ready and fluent speaker, and under the
inspiration of full house would have made
better impression. A beggary element OF
empty benches is not apt to excite much en-.
thusiasm in speaker. About one hundred
