significance of Different Musical t"ter


 An interesting investigation might be made of the various musical accents which answer to different conditions of feeling. To ascertain this correctly would require long and minute course of experiments. It is rious to observe, however, that Chuck, Mo zart, Berlioz, Meyerbeer and Wagner, when l they have the same situations to depict, l whether in recitative or melody, use the same musical intonations. It thus appears that I the major third is generally employed in in 1 terrogations and appeals, and that the apel 1 lative character of that interval becomes \ more marked and impressive in tho fourth ] descending, while the fourth ascending de- l notes affirmation, decision, command. The minor and major tifths express the feelings { from prayer to violent desire and menace. ! The sixth Is the interval of passion it is ! the symbol of avery accentuated emotion, ! and Is inevitably met where love is declared. ! A semitone higher conveys the idea of somo, l thing painful, which is resolved into real l expression of grief in the cry of the seventh 1 the symbol of an excess of suffering, There l are, effect, no two ways of saying the same 1 thing in music and it is only in the way the l phrase is introduced and sustained by the ! harmony that authors vary. We speak 1 ing, of course, only of those passages of ] songs in which the emotions employed, 1 for 1t IS Ill these only that tho author, not 1 caring to expend his force over the entire phrase, aims to bring out his full meaning ! From these comparisons of emotions and in donation we are able to discover the physiolo- gical reason of of the correspondence be- tween the note and expression. The smaller l intervals are congenial with indifference, mo- 1 notony, doubt, melancholy, and sadness the group of moderate intervals affirms occupa- ! tion, pleasure and desire, which grow more ! ardent as we approach the extreme intervals; I and in these we look for the most intense ! feeling. Melancholy sentiments involving I diminished vitality, we might naturally con ! ceive to be expressed musically by di-
 unfinished intervals, the compass of which re-
 quires little effort; while earnest desires,
 strong passions, and plea ant and happy feel
 ings, being accompanments of a more active ! vitality, provoke more vigorous expressions
 and these expressions, by giving an outlet \ to tho excess of vitality, furnish one of the
 best means for calming violent passions.

Candee of Water town, who was injured while coasting on Col lege Hill at Clinton yesterday, died early this morning The accident occurred on Junior Hill near where similar fatality happened thirty years ago. The coasting course is on the sidewalk, on one side of which is fence, and on the other some great poplar trees. The walk is perfectly straight in that part, but more accidents have occurred there than on the crooked part. The Hamilton College faculty have tried to discourage coasting, as the course is always fraught with danger. Candee was member of the freshman class, and'highly esteemed. AS he was riding along his sled was unaccountably turned from it's course, and struck poplar tree. Candee was thrown hsadlopg past the tree, his head striking the ice and fracturing his skull His ; death casts gloom over the college.
