Musical Genius and Poverty.

| Some time has elapsed since the
Court of Common Council, to the
surprise of everybody, and, mayhap,
the disgust of those who cherish
strictly utilitarian principles, founded
a school of music for the city. In
the interim the Academy has grown
and fourishei exceedingly. 1t NUM-.
bers ;ts pupils by the hundred, COM
mends the services of host of well.
known professors, and is in a fair
way to reflect very great honor upon
the Corporation. This state OF things
might have contented the foster
fathers OF the new school, but we are
glad to observe that on Thursday
they took another step-preclaely the
IoneIneeded to secure the greatest posi-
Die good FROM that which had already
been done. On the motion of Mr.. J.
Bath, the Court of the Common
Council resolved: That the sum of
two hundred pounds be granted out of
this city'5 cash TO the deputation 10
relation to music, tor exhibition of
such amounts az the deputstion mag
Sc fit to grant deservil g pupils of
the Guildhall School OF Music, and !
that the said depu:aLion 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 aud again been set forth and
enforced IN these columns. We have
contended that, tor the purpose Of |
cuItivauDg the musical talent OF the |
people, it awaits little TO establish |
schools on the self supporting system,
and at that to stop short. Such
measure goes some way, doubtless,
bur il leaves untouched the greatest |
part # toe field whence the raw ma
ter1al is drawn; anG net only the
greatest part olt the most fertile. We
may be unable. TO give reason for
the fact. yet fact il ls. that musical
genius, for the most part, had a loTly
origin, and either worked on un
recog nized until after death, or early
came TO the front by the aid of dis.
corning friends. Beethoven and No
zaGt we're the sons Of poor men, who
to be nusIcisn5 themselves,
80 that thess greatest OF ali musical
composers were born into the profes
sion. Haydn, on the other hand, was
the child Of q nobiaman's servant;
Schubert had for father d humble
schoolmaster; Schumann country |
bookseller; and Wagner apetty civic
official. But. without going into par
tioulars, ard setting aside brilliant
exceptions. like Mendelssohn, it may
be said that the most gifted sons OF
the dlvDe art have needed "a helping |
hand at the outset OF their career,
and, without it. might never have
become what for all time they are.
Lei Us not suppose that Natures o.

rest assured that those, If happily, |

Is 10 the Value Of Confederate
Bonds,

There is not the remotest chance
that these bonds will ever be paid in
whole or IL part. The Constitution
OF the United States iorbids it. It
may So well be understood, once for
all. that the people of the States
which formed the Southern Confedr
eracy neither expect nor desire the
payment OF the Confederate debt.
They did not want is when the bonds
were owned in the South. They will
resist it actively whenever the claim
for payment is made by body OF
foreigners who are specializing In the
good feeling existing between the
United States and England. It is
really too ridiculous subject for seri-
Gus discussion, but ne consider it
sure that the Southern States would
veto the payment of the debt, even
if the Northern States were willing
that it should be lieuidated. -Charles-
ton (South Carolins) NeaCs and
Courier.

The epidemic diseases that have pre-
vailed in this district for some months, says
the Scott Valley Ne'rs, have been numer-
Gus, and in some cases peculiar. Children
have been attacked with sickness that
presents the symptoms of both scarletina
and measles, but never amounting to
we'll defined case of either. This disease is
not very severe and yields readily to treat
ment, but the physicians agree that they
never saw it before, and they would hardly
know what to say if called upon to classify
the complaint.
Starvation Peak, near Bernal Station,
New Mexico, is an object of curious in
terest. The Las Vegas optic tells us that
years ago treacherous Indian chief invited
all the Mexicans near the place to ban
quet on the summit of the peak. The
Mexicars being a hospitable class them
selves never dreamed of treachery, and
went up the mountain ahead of their sup
posed host. After the last Mexican had
assembled, the passage was blocked by the
Indians below, and no way was left for the
imprisoned Mexicans to escape.
