The Musician Exchange, Berlin


 Anyone requiring musicians, from an entire orchestra down to pianist, may always get what he wants by applying, orally by letter, to the Musicians Exchange This EX change is held every day from l a. to D. m., at restaurant in the Johannisst casse, and is attended by hundreds of would be professionals" :" It has its fixed laws. Es tablished in 1869 by the Association of Berlin Musicians it is managed by committee ac cording to certain rules. This committee apportions the orders received and sees that the normal tariff is maintained. The latter is remarkable at giving only the minimum terms, for less than which no member may play Ball-music, for instance, is paid, on festal days, 9 marks (-shillings) to each per former on Sundays, marks, 50 pfennlgs; and, on week days, marks; at grand min isterial and ambassadorial balls, each per former receives marks for four hours. and l mark, 50 pfennigs, for every extra hour; rehearsals are paid 3 marks; dinner usic without dancing, marks; with dancing, 9 marks, etc The Exchange is held only for the members of the Association of Berlin Musicians, who number 700. The grand to tai of musical performers iu the Prussian cap- 1tal amounts to about 5000, including 500 who have other callings and take part in mus ical entertainments only as an extra source of income. The association possesses capital of 30 1000 marks, and pays annually from 600 to 1000 for the relief of members in distress As rule, Berlin is well supplied with musi- cians--nay, people sometimes complain of their being too numerous But New Year's and at Shrovetide, as well on certain festivals of less importance, anybody capable of playing an instrument-string or wind-is pressed into the service. On extra. such like-the neighboring districts, far and wide, are laid under contribution. Such lucky days are, however, rare in tho life of 8 musician.

THE PACIFIC BANK.

| The action which has been and is to be
 taken by large number of the unfortunate l stockholders of the broken Pacific National | bank of Boston will interest all who have I anything to do with national banks. Several | important questions were put before the | meeting. The Comptroller has laid an as sessment of 100 per cent. upon all the stock holders and holders of collateral to the 1 amount of the actual stock and the so-called | new stock, whose issue is claimed to have
 not been valid It is asked whether the sums already paid in for the so-called new stock | and assessments should not be set off against l this assessment of the Comptroller with 8 possible balance over in favor of the share holders; whether the directors having the management of the bank are not responsible
 to the bank for it's losses whether parties holding the stock of tLe bank C1s collateral can
 be held to the assessment; whether the sale
 of stock at auction by the directors does not
 relieve the former owners from assessment :;
 and what effect has the fact that the bank opened it's doors again for business, after the last annual meeting, in releasing those share holders who refused to join in sanction of this proceeding?
 There was much talk about what ought to
 be done and what ought not to be done, but 1t was finally resolved that the Comptroller or the receiver be requested to bring suit inn nedlately against the directors of the bank to recover, if possible, the moneys lost by reason of their wrong doing and illegal &C., tion in the bank; that if the Comptroller or receiver shall neglect refuse to bring suit suit shall be brought in the name of the as. sociation known as the Pacific National bank of Boston or of the stockholders thereof; and that the receiver and the United States attorney be requested to inquire into and crlmlnally prosecute all persons who are found responsible for the disaster to the Pa cifc National bank. It was also decided that the old shareholders and the holders of what is called new stock in the bank be as- sessed a sum not to exceed two dollars for each share of actual stock and each share of new stock, so called, held by them, and not to exceed $2o0 to any one individual CT cor poration, for the purpose of paying necessa- ry expenses of litigation and otherwise deter mining the rights and liabilities of the bank, the shareholders and the directors.
 Whether the stockholders will succeed in protecting themselves remains to be seen, but the prospect that they will is not very bright. They have suffered much-first at the hands of the old officers, and they were afterwards misled by the apparent result of the examination into the affairs of the bank by National Bank Examiner Needham.

That Glorious Song of Old.

That Glorious Song of Old. It came upon the midnight clear, That glorious song of old, From angels bending near the earth To touch their harps of gold: ''Peace to the earth, goodwill to men The world in solemn stiffness lay To hear the angels sing Still through the eleven sky they come With peaceful wings unfurled; And still their heavenly music floats Ger all the weary world; Above its sad and lowly plains They bend on heavenly wing, And ever OCT it's Babel sounds The blessed angels sttg Yet with the woes of sin and strife The world has suffered long; Beneath the angel strain have rolled Two thousand years of wrong; And men, at war with meD, hear not The 1ove-song which they bring Oh hush the noise. ye men of strife, And hear the angels sing And ye, beneath lifes crushing load Whose forms are bending low, Who toll along the climbing way With painful steps and slow Look now for glad and golden hours Come swiftly on the wing; Oh rest beside the weary road, And hear the angels sing. For To the days are hastening on, By prophet bards foretold, When with the ever -circlipg years Comes round the age of gold; When Peace shall over all the earth It's ancient splendors fling, And the whole world send back the song Which now the angels sing.

The Ostrich Kick.


r.'Farming for Feathers in the January Centuryl When farmer goes into Q savage birds camp he takes with him tn orn pole, with a branch or two of the thorny bush left on the end This is called tuck, :" and when the tuck is applied to the ostrich's neck or head (his tender points, he is almost invariably subdued, and, after one or two efforts to escape bolts furiously off to the other side of the camp, where he races up and down to vent his baffied rage. If, however, the blrd
 so called kick, he lifts his bony leg as high
 as his body and throws it forward with de- moniac grotesqueness, and brings 1t down
 with terrible force. His object is to rip the
 enemy down with his dangerous claw, but in
 most cases it is the flat bottom of his foot
 which strides and the kick is dangerous
 much from its sheer power as from it's lacer-
 ating effects. It is a movement of terrible
 velocity and power, at all events. Several
 instances may be mentioned of herd boys
 being thus either wounded, maimed or killed
 outright. One case occurred hear Graaff
 Reinet, in which 8 horse had bis back broken
 by single blow. In this case the bird had endeavored to kill the rider, but missed him and struck the horse.
 Many persors have been set upon by birds when there was no shelter, net even tree to
 run to. In such 8 case, if the pursued were
 acq tainted with struthious tactics, he would lie down flat on the ground, where the bird
 finds it impossible to strike him. But even
 this is no light matter, for some birds in their rage at being baffed of their kick will roll over their prostrate enemy, believing with fury and trampling upon him in the most contemptuous fashion One man who thus attempted the lying down plan found that
 every time he attempted to rise the bird
 would return and stand sentry over him, till at last, after creeping distance, he got out only by swimming pond that bounded one side of the camp.

 President White. of Cornell University, ap- pears to have high opinion of the way they do things in Germany. He especially com mends Germany's method of educating men for political service and thinks it should be initiated in this country. He says of the German system A fundamental theory of the civil administration is that every official, from the chancellor of the empire to the pettiest clerk in 9 country postoffice, is to act in the interest, not of any men of any party, but of the entire nation that offices are not ''spoils' distributed by party leaders, but trusts imposed by the entire people; that the basis of choice to office should be, not ad- herence to this political party or service to that political manager, but capacity and in tegrity; but this capacity and integrity to be ascertained, not by dancing attendance upon party leaders whining at the doors of men in power, but by competitive exami- nation. periods of probation and promotion upon approved merit that good servants of the State being thus secured, they should be retained, on the same principles which lead a man of business to retain so long as pos sible an employe found faithful and capable and, finally, that this en-ploye should be trusted responsible human being, not driven to advocate principles to support men opposed to his conscience. In short, the fundamental principles of the German civil service is democratic and republican, while own is aristocratic and despotic in the worst sense of both these words. The German civil service is business like and eco nomical-our own, uubusiness like and waste ful. Their system encourages young men to manlness ours to service often unmanly. Their civil service, in it's fundamental prin- ciple, is that adopted by every civilized tion, republican or monarchical to find the parallel of our own system we must travel outside of Christendom into Turkey.
