UnmuSiCal PeOule.

We have really very little idea of the
extent to which musical insensibility
prevails. We can not tell with any de-
gree of certainty whether one person in
five, or one in ten, or one in q hundred
is practically destitute of the musical
faculty. We have no means of ascer-
tanning the truth on the subject. If we
had, we should be probably startled.
We should find many facts which would
at first appear hardly credible. In an
ordinary Albert Hall assembly, for in
stance, we should, il we only had some
trustworthy test, find that no inconsid-
cradle number of persons composing it
not only derived no pleasure from the
finest music to be heard there, but we're
positively panied by it, and only sat
through the performance under the
compulsiOn of circumstances. Edwin,
who perceivcs that all the world affects
musical enthusiasm, and knows that
Angelina has special craze upon the
subject, will undergo any amount of
torture with smiling face, and even
shout Justify for an encore rather than
have it suspected that he really feels a
strong inclination to howl like dog at
every Outburst of harmony. lie knows
that in one of Angelina's favorite pas
sages in Shakespeare the great poet has
made Lorenzo declare that the man who
Is not moved with concord of sweet
sounds is fit for treason, the motions of
his spirits are dull as night, his affec-
tons dark as Erebus. Let no such man
be trusted, says Lorenzo. In his inner
most heart Edwin may perhaps suspect
that Lorenzo was something of hum
bug, and merely gave utterance to what
he thought would be suse to please a
girl who had just revealed special sus-
ceptibility of soul to tho influence of
music. But not for the world would he
breathe any such suspicion. On the
contrary, he will probably quote the
passage with hearty approval, and ap-
plaud vociferously even at moments of
supreme anguish rather than have it
supposed that he is being of this dark
and dangerous nature. 1t requires
some little fortitude of soul to
avow a strong repugnance to any,
thing in which society generally re-
cognizes at once a means and an out
come of refinement. There have been
some equal to such an avowal; but they
have been either below or above the or
binary conventionalities of "societv."
At any rate, they have been outside such
conventionalities, like Voltaire, for in
stance, who always appeared to be pat
IN the worst possible mood by music,
however good, and who made no secrei
OF his strong aversion to it. Usually,
however, 4 person finding everybody !
about him apparently capable of apr |
eating music win naturally do his best
to conceal his own private sentiment on
the subject, and will refrain from an adj
mission which would at once relecate
him to the Goths and barbarians.--

TIE American Chameleon.

There is in the lower Southern States
reaching to the sea beautiful little liz
ard known in some localities as the Cha
meleon. 1t does not much resemble
the chameleon of Asia and Africa; per-
haps our only reason for calling it cha
meleon lies in the fact that like the cha
meleon of the Old World it has the pow
or of changing its color, apparently at
will. In truth, so readily does it change
its color in response to the requirements
Of circumstances that one can scarcely
tell what its natural color is, though I
believe it to be q light green, for 1 find
it dressed in green oftener than in any
other shade. On this account the people

it in Florida while making tour of that
State; but against this put in nv pro-

The conclusions from the statements above

First, that Il modern miracle of healing has

hcred that Bright's disease is not usually &

and its growth SLOW. The symptoms by which
II may nc detected are different with different
persons, no two people usually having the
same. This fact was manifest in the case of
Mr.. Larrabcc, and he had no idea of the terri
Die complaint which had attacked him until
il became fixed upon him. Secondly. tcsti-
moniais Of such high character and SO out
