WHAT REMENY1 MAKES HIS VIOLIN
Do.-A French editor tells us that
he makes it sing, sigh, cry and
weep; no nightingale in the woods.
no bengali in the foliage, give out
more TREMENDOUSLY its notes to the
warm breeze. Sometimes Remenyi's
violin seems to keep time to the
heroic eallop of Magyars brdndish-
ing their swords and squirting on
their horses to the echo of the
Rokoczy march. Sometimesit makes
one think of the gentle futter of
wings over q crystalline stream. It
was a heroic march; it is become a
murmur, sigh, kiss, dream. A
few minutes ago the steed was champ
ing and neighing, the warrior was
uttering his war cry; now behold the
butterfly, seeking apparently, to
make no noise, not to awake the
sleeping fairy, whose slumber it
quiets by the imperceptible tanning
of its wings. All! what q Wonderful
artist! what lovely and fairylike
evening! In the midst of Paris,
here is Hungary and the beautiful
Danube, rolling proudly through
vast plains, q matchless vision, re-
finement of pleasure, something in
toxicating and irresistible impulsive
as battle, and again as vaporous as

on The w. q. r. R., while ascending the
ladder on one of the cars, near Port Byron
Junction, missed his footing fell under the
wheels and four cars passed over his leg
crushing it terribly He was conveyed
on the passenger to his home in Freeport,
where his foot was amputated. He sufe
tered terrible pain during the trip to Free
port, and at last accounts was very weak
from the shock and loss of blood. He was
well known in Rock Island and when hare
stopped at the Taylor House
This morning the regular train on the
c., Il. l. q p, from the east, was delayed
five hours on account of an accident at

gineer, Patrick Breslin, killed. no others
were hurt. Breslin was one Of, if not the
oldest engineer on the road, and lived in
Chicago. His body was taken there,
