Hindu Music.


We were once misguided enough to
inquire of some native officials what in
struments of music their town possess
ed, and were waited upon next day. in
consequence, by all the musicians in
the place. First came group of nine
women, who sang some wild and plain
tive strains in unison in a minor key;
one of them kept time by occasionally
swapping her fingers, while another per-
formed a rude accompaniment on q
small barrel-shaped drum, the ends of
which were covered with goatskin. The
head-dress of some of these singers was
peculiar, and consisted of folds of calico
over the head and round the throat,
rather like the drapery of some order Of
nuns, and similar to that given by
painters to st. Anna and other holy
women of the bible. The grouping Of
these people, as they sat close together
on the ground, was extremely pictures
que; aud. listening to the sad sweetness
of their strains. one could easily imag-
inc such to have been the appearance
and the melody of the daughters Of
Jerusalem as they lamented by the
waters of Babylon. The singing ended,
a man was seen to rise in the back
ground, lifting an enormous brazen
trumpet nearly as long as himself. on
which he blew two most terrific blasts,
excruciating to English ears. These
sounds We're prolonged, and seemed to
sink down through q long wailing dis.
cord inexpressibly painful to listen to.
but not unfrequently to be heard in that
district of the Punjab. The effort Of
blowing this trumpet is considerable,
and we were glad to make this an ex.
cuse for hearing no more of it, and SUBJ
mitted with the best grace We could to
a performance on the tom-tom, while
two more men exercised their lungs up
on horrid little trumpets of smaller
size. When these were dismissed, we
had q kind of duet all on one note
from two men, one of whom beat q
small drum open at one end, like very
deep tambourine, while the other play
ed upon something like q four-stringed
banjo. The lower part of this instru-
ment was made of q gourd, and two Of
the strings We're passed through blue
glass beads, while the other two were
raised by cowries of different sizes. The
banjo was further adorned by the green
and gold label from some English cot.

The Best BOOtmaker In the World Com.
ing to HALEY.

A shock headed, snub-nosed, freck-
led-faced wild Irishman who, when
financially embarrassed in New York,
one day applied for job as jour
newman to the foreman of bootmak-
er's establishment, was given work out
of pity, only after the boys Clipped in
change enough to buy stock for him,
as was anticipated, to spoil. He
turned out one boot which, for work
manship, has never been equaled in
any city by any workman, and secur-
ing his money, the Irishman skipped.
That boot was placed in fancy show
case on Broadway with a $500 bill
which, a card stated, would be given
to any man any day W ho would make
a mate to that boot. The maker was
never heard of nor seen since, until
lately, and the bootmakers OF New
York, unable to produce boot. of
such exquisite workmanship and fin
ish. believe to this day that the wild
Irishman was an apparition. He was

dra Josophovia, with herItwo sons, the duke
of Leichtenberg and the prince of Olden-
burg. The tickets were sold to everybody
without any restriction. Such balls are
held in the English palace annually, but
this ball surpassed those Of former years
by its brilliant decorations and genuine
merriment. All the rooms of the palace
were profusely ornamented with tropical
plants from the imperial hot houses. In
the dancing room portrait of Nicholas,
in full size, was hidden behind some lux
uriant plants, and the effect was that the
late emperor appeared as if gazing at the
dancing parties. At 10 O'Clock the queen
70 Greece arrived and opened the ball. AT
1880 their majesties, the. emperor
and empress appeared. The emperor wore
the uniform of a general of the Finn
guards, and the empress wore dress OF
lace and with pearls. On her head she had
a diadem ornamented with eight large dia-
m0nds. Their majesties were met by the
princess of Oldenburg and all the mana
gers of the ball. Gen. Arapof had the
happiness to present the empress
with a beautiful bouquet. Then
their majesties went into the dancing
room and graciously took part in the dane
ing. Both the emperor and the empress
favored many of those present with their
gracious conversation. At 1896
they left the ball, which continued till 4
a. m. Peculiarly considered this ball was
also great success.
