Musical Genius and Poverty.


 Some time has elapsed since the Court of Common Council, to the surprise of every body and, mayhap the disgust of those who cherish strictly utilitarian principles, found ed school of music for the city. In the in- terim the Academy has grown and hourished exceedingly It numbers its pupils by the hundred, commands the services of host of well-known professors, and is in fair way to reflect very great honor upon the Corpora tion This state of things might have con- tented the foster-fathers of the new school, but we are glad to observe that on Thursday they took another step-precisely the one needed to secure the greatest possible good from that which had already been done. On the motion of of MT. J. Bath the Court of Common Council resolved '"That the sum of two hundred pounds be granted out of this city's cash to the deputation in relation to music, for exhibition of such amounts as the deputation may see fit to grant deserving pupils of the Guildhall School of Music, and that the said deputation be authorized to apply to the livery companies and other sources for donations for the same object" The principle upon which this resolution is based has again and again been set forth and enforced in these columns. We have con- 1 tended that for the purpose of cultivating the musical talent of the people, 1t avails Et- tie to establish schools on the self-supporting system, and at that to stop short. Such measure goes some way, doubtless, but 1t leaves untOuched the greatest part or the ] field whence the raw material is drawn and not only the greatest part but the most fer tile We may be unable to give reason for the fact, yet fact it is, that musical genius has, for the most part, had lowly origin, and either worked on unrecognized until after death, or early came to the front by the aid of discerning friends. Beethoven and Mozart were the sons of poor men, who chanced to be musicians themselves, so that these great est of all composers were born into the pro- fession Haydn, on the other hand, was the child of a nobleman's servant; Schubert had for father humble schoolmaster; Schu- maan 8 country bookseller; and Wagner petty civic official. But, without going into particulars, and setting aside brilliant excep- tions, like Mendelssohn, it may be said that the most gifted sons of divine art have need ed helping hand at the outset of their career, and, without it, might never have be- come what for all time they are. Let us not suppose that Natures order has changed in this respect, the mansion taking the place of the cottage as the field of her productive energy. On the contrary, we may rest assured that those, if happily there be any, who are destined to assert the musical genius of our country will come from the class which MT. Bath and the Common Council had in view when, on Thursday, they started an aiding ] fund

An Account of the Recent Boiler ExpIo- sion in Dayton, Ohiu-The Soldiers

An Account of the Recent Boiler ExpIO-
 sion in Dayton, Ohiu-The Soldiers
 Home.
 DAYTON, Ohio, Oct. 9, 1881.
 To the Editor of the JOURNAL COURIER:
 sad and terrible accident occurred in this city to-day one of the boilers of Messrs. Pinneo and Daniels wheel manufactory ex- ploding. Mir. Pinneo invited the writer to visit his extensive works and afterwards to take drive to the Soldiers Home. We ex- amined the machinery and the process of mak- ing wheels between 10 and II a. m. and then drove to the Soldiers Home, returning about half-past 12, and just before reaching the city the explosion took place, causing scene of death and desolation such as never wish to see. The rear portion of ths bailding, re- gently built, along with the very tall chim- ney was blown, portions of 1t, blocks away. One end of the boiler was found about one hundred feet from its foundation. Bricks were hurled in every direction, enter ing dwelling houses near by, causing great destruction. Such scene Is indescribable. The saddest of all was the loss of life. There were six or seven of the workInen buried in the debris. The fire bells were sounded and gangs of men at once commenced to remove the mass of bricks and timbers, and it was sickening to see the poor fellows taken out, crushed and mangled as they were. The fireman must have been instant ly killed. One other was taken out lifeless. One little girl going to school more than a block away was struck by brick and instantly killed. No idea can be had, by any account of the disaster, what sight was pre- sented MT. Pinneo told the writer that eve- rything so far as he knew was in perfect or der, and his engineer was considered thor oughly trustworthy, having filled that posi- tion satisfactorily for fifteen years Had this explosion occurred twenty minutes later when all the men were in their places, the loss of life would have been doubtless ten- fold How such calamities can be prevented is serious problem to solve.
 A word about the Soldiers Home. A more beautiful and attractive place than this is rarely seen in this any country. Many think that Central Park in New York does not equal it. Let none of your readers fail to see this charming spot if ever in this vi cinity. Some 3, 800 veterans are now in this central home, there being three others, one each in Virginia, Wisconsin and Maine. The improvement of the grounds and cultivation of the 6OO-acre farm are largely by the in mates, they receiving from 9 to B cents per day of eight hours for spending money. The admission to the home does not cut off their pensions The annual expense per capita to the government is about $127. They have two suits of clothing annually, and working is optional Everything practicable seems to be done to make their life @ happy one, as it ought to be. They have large and elegant library building, well filled with books and newspapers. A fine building is now being completed for an amusement hall, and with a good band of music, no wonder admission is eagerly sought by the disabled veterans. R. P. c.

HECKER9S
PERFECT BAKING POWDER.
A FAIR TEST.

To the Editor of the Journal & Courier:
 Sir:-The contract for supplying the United States government with seventy-fve thousand 5,OOO) lbs. of Baking Powder during the en- suing year has been awarded to Hecker's Perfect Baking Powder, it having been tested by Dr. Ed ward G. Love, analytical chemist for the government, and recom- mended by him for it's excellence and because it contained a higher percentage of gas (which means it will make lighter bread and bis- cuit) than either the "Royal'' or the other cream tartar baking powders which he examined. The samples analysed by Dr. Love were furnished by the government com miSsioners, and were without the manufacturers label or name, and designated with a number known only to the commissioners
 It will thus be seen that when Hecker's Perfect Baking Powder is submitted to an impartial test it's superiority is acknowledged, and the popular verdict so emphat- icaIly expressed in it's favor is fully sustained,

A Serious Question.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Is it true that the catch basins on Clark street have not been filled? If so, this fact may account for several cases of diphtheria which have lately occurred in that street.
 The catch-bas1n at the corner of Orange and Clark streets has emitted foul odors at intervals ever since the Orange street sewer was built and the writer has no doubt that g severe case of diphtheria which occurred in his family year ago was caused by the foul odors from that source It seems unpardon- able that a catch-basin should be left without a trap, even for day, in a street so thickly settled as Clark street.
