A Valuable Heirloom

Mr.. William II. bennett, of this city has in
his possession violin that evidently possesses
history 1t has been hal ded down from his
great-great- g andfather, so that it has delight
ed five generations. Originally there were TWO
of these instruments, but what became Of the
other is a mystery. This one was lately sent to
Mr.. Grover of Boston, by Mr.. bennett, with
the request that if the violin was worth re-
pairing he would repair it, as he thought a
great deal of it. Mr.. Grover answered, saving
that he should repair it with the greatest care
that he thought it real Gasparo di Salo. and
that it ought to be put in an art museum.
Gasparo di Salo was a certain contemporary
of the Amatis, and died in Brescia in 1918.
His instruments are of great body and bril-
liancy of tone, long, with the bellyarch high,
and extending almost up to the sides. They
resemble the instruments of Stradivarius .rath-
er than those of the Awaits. Dragonetti, the
great contra bassist played on one of his doub-
le BASES, presented him by the Convent of St.
Mark at Venice, and Ole Bulls concert violin
was of di Salo's make with figures carved by
Benevenuto Cellini
The violin of Mr., bennett, bears the marks
attributed to those of di Salo's make In re-
pairing it the old, odd short fnger-board, in
checquers of inlaid ebony and ivory, had to be
taken out since it was worn Sc smooth and
thin, but wood from the old Chauncey street
church in Boston, has been substituted that is
known to be very, very old. The shape of the
instrument is pleasing, and its head is that Of
Sphinx. The back varnish is of a more at
tractive color than the belly, but that of the
latter is not displeasing. Its tone is superb, so
rich and resonant, but Mr.. Grover says it will
be year before it will attain perfection in
that respect; when the wood inserted will have
identified itself with the main body of the in
strument.
Several of our leading musicians have had
an opportunity of inspecting and hearing the
violin, and all are much delighted with it.
We do not wonder that Mr.. bennett prizes it
SO highly. What story it could tell of times
that are gone, of great musicians and celebrat.

went into the leather business. They both
came to this city some 80 years ago, and for o
few years did a small business on Union street
on the site now occupied by A. f. Cox & Son.
Each had one son, and admitting them into the
firm, they established large business in Ieath-
er on Commercial street, the firm name being

business for years, and then the junior partners
withdrew, N. W. Rice establishing himself

The Coming Comet.

The scientists at the Harvard College Oh
servatory have been able to compute accurate
ly the orbit and ephemeris Of the comet
which was dicovered last week by Mr.. Schm-
berle of Ann Arbor, Mich, and which is al
ready named in his honor. The new comet Is
now very near the point where the comet OF
last month was first seen, and will itself be
very soon visible to the unaided eye. On the
18th inst. its tight ascension was 5h. 53m. TBS,
and its declination plus 400 49, So. 1t will
pass the sun Aug 1S, and day or two later
will be nearest the earth when it will be very
conspicuous and interesting object. During the
last week il, August it will rapidly diminish
in brightness The orbit presents no special
resemblance to that of any known comet, and,
as the astronomers have generally reached q
similar conclusion regarding the comet which
is now fading from view, the year 1881 bids
fair to be notable year from an astronomical
standpoint,
