THE CoNoERT.-No late occurrence has given
such universal satisfaction to our citizens as the
magnificent attendance at the Grand Army Band

the improvement Of the organization itself has
come knowledge in the concert business and Of
late their efforts at public entertainment has been
successful without an exception. The Opera
House is seldom SO comfortably filled as 1t was

SIXTY YEARS oLD-The locomotive was sixty
years old Tuesday. Sixty years ago the first
American locomotive, as alocomotlve in fact. was
born. Within these threescore years the healthy
infant has developed into the head Of race Of
leViathans, whose snort is more formidable than
the snort Of the war horse. The sphere of his use
fullness has grown until the iron.hOre obeys the
command Of man like thing Of life, and the ex'

MENDELSs0HY Q QUISTETEE CLUB.

The Mendelssohn Qulntette Club will be In Can
ton next Wednesday night and our citizens will
have rare chance to listen to magnificent music
In the whole history of professional musicians
who depend upon public patronage and their
professional reputation there are few To be found
who enter upon their tasks with greater enthusi.
ssm and devotion to their role than the Medel-
ssohn Club. Here is what the Boston Advertiser
an acknowledged musical critic Of merit says
"How great degree Of skill and how thorough
an education, both Of special and general ma
ture, are required In such musicians and are real
ICED In the members Of the MendeBsohn Quln.
tette Club, our readers doubtless know. An abso-
Lutte mastery Of the technique of the art is required
80 that each artist must rank as an admirable solo
performer on his own instrument; and each mem
ber Is expected to have a minute and ready
knowledge Of the sciences Of music as well. But
there are points even beyond and above these
necessary for the equipment Of a member of such
an organization, He must have a fine feeling
and appreciation Of the soul and spirit Of great
compositions, else they will be but dead things In
his hands; he must have musical intelligence, If
we may so say, quick as lightning and as fluid as
quicksilver he must have an ear like hawks ;
and crowning and supplementing all he and every
one Of his fellows must have acquired spirit Of
mutual understanding and sympathy which shall
be the ever present genius Of their combined work
This last is nearly as difficult to describe as 1t is
to attain; but all who are familiar with the rend'
erings OF sringed quartettes and quntettes by the
club, know exactly what is meant, and how COM
pletely the desideratum has been reached by these
artists. 1t Is with them at the time Of such perfor
mances as If one artistic soul had taken possession
Of Ave minds, working through the fingers, and
eyes, and minds Of each at once-vivlfying, In
forming enobllng and inspiring the common

sMSKING AMONG BoYs.-The practice Of smoking
has made fearful headway Of late years. 1t is
now the exception, rather than the rule, to find
boy Of ten years who is not addicted to this njur
ious and filthy habit. I! may not be generally
known that smoking, as a general thing, creates
an appetite for strong drink to say nothing of the
abnormal condition in which the system Of
growing child is constantly kept by the influence
of poisonous tobacco. We are firmly convinced
that very much Of the criminal tendency Of the
present generation is due, largely TO the lndul'
gence in early life Of this fearful habit. The
fault, unquestionably, lies at the door OF the par
ents, and thence alone can come the correction
