aTha Origin Of fha Banjo.

$50 the once despised negro instru-
ment is now popular in society,"" e
:" Negro instrument? Let me tell
You that the banjo is not q negres in
strument. No. sir; the banjo can claim
to be the oldest musical instrument we
know. The banjo comes from Egypt
1t has been found in the tombs Aef the
royal families in the pyramid. Here is
a 'cut which no ona that has ever seen
the banjo can fail To- recognize as the
same instrument" Mr.. Dobson showed
on page No. 1f9 Of Sir William Will
kinsen's volume of EGYPT aacut of a
musical instrumchtgi resembling tho
banjo. Then he read description Of
the Instrument to show that it resent
bled the banjo in construction also. "A
similar Instrument. he continued,
'.still more closely resembling the BAN
10, has been, found in India. OF
course, the banjo is African. When
the pyramids seemed to be the only ire
mains of Egyptian civilization, the BAN
10 was no doubt +pfaved in the center of
Africa by some fugitive Ethiopian slave
who had brought it. from the land of
his masters. From Ethiopia it came to
the slave states, and nearly forty years
age Joe Sweeney. Nirginian, intro
dnced it to the New Workers on the
stage of the old Bowery. L. became
popular and is now known all over the
world" -41 ..-'.- et-4''~
.t'What is the cause of the present
popularity OF the Instrument ~. 20
when well played the banjo IS a
very fascinating instrument. You new
er hear TIE banjo played at minstrel
entertainment. A few common negro
melodies and a variation of Home,
Sweet Home or The Last Rose OF Sum-
mer' is the common musical stock III
trade of the minstrel performer. The
banjo is more easily played than tie
guitar, which requires much exercise
and great persistence on the part of the
learner. The banjo has a stronger and
deeper tone. Bring it into a parlor
and every body listens. When you are
depressed it throws ray Of sunshine
into the wearied heart Oil it is
lovable instrument when you have once
made 1t speak to you. It has q future
before it I have been In the business
thirty years. and every year the busi-
ness has increased.-N. 7. Wo'ld

Reduced Land Rents in England.

. A correspondent informs the London
!. Marx Lane Express of the reletting at
a reduction in the rent of about f4o0
per year, or Is per cent. of one OF The
best farms on the Holkham estate.
Another farm on the same estate has
been relet at even o greater reduction.
but in this case the state OF the land is
not so good. A small estate Of first
class land near Kings Lynn. which
formerly let at f3 per acre, and was
then supposed to have selling value
of E100 per acre. has been sold for G45
per acre; while another farm in the
Same county, which was bought few
years ago for ct. coo. and has had an
additional 91, 900 expended upon, oan-
not now be sold for G400, the amount
of the first mortgage, and there are two
later mortgages upon it. In Scotland
the state of matters appears to be even
more deplorable. According to the
same correspondent ono farmer in Kin
