The history of music has never given us a more ravishingly seductive instrument than the xylophone. It is nature's own melody.

Make a picket fence with pickets Of different lengths, and pound on it with stick of stove wood and you have the xylo- phone. It is cheaper than the piano, and can yield almost as much divine racket. It is within the reach of all, and yet it is won derfully soothing to the ear.

Notable sleep-Walking.
A Woman somnambulist Falls 30 Feet.

Itrom the AIonTreSI UI.44ess-l
 A young woman engaged as a domestic ser want with family living on St. Antoine street near St Martin has been in the habit of walking in her sleep. Her bedroom Is ID the third story or attic and it's window is some thirty feet or more from the sidewalk During her somnambulistic wanderings few nights ago she broke through the double window and fell with heavy thud on the sidewalk below. This was after midnight, and a neighbor across the street observed g white figure prostrate on the sidewalk He watched it, but could not see it distinctly. It crawIed slowly out into the middle of the street, which was ln shocklngly muddy condition, and then turned along towards the city. The movement of this white figure was peculiar, but he naturally believed it to be a large white dog. The figure, how ever, appeared to rise up and stagger onward like a drunken woman. The somnambullst must have turned again, for the girl says that when she regained consciousness she was standing at the corner of Chatham street, attired in her night gown. She rose and re- turned to the house, rang the bell, and wait ed for the appearance of her astonished mis- tress The lady had just two hours before heard noise, which for the moment startled her Her husband was away from home at the time, and the prospect of burglars was not agreeable but she soon went to sleep again When the bell rang at that strange hour she thought it must be her husband re- turning She unlocked the door to find her servant on the threshold, pale and benumbed with the cold. Ths mystery seemed mex plicable, and the poor girl was put to bed again.
 Learning that Dr. Gardner had been sent for to attend her, our reporter called upon him today He replied to question, 'Yes, was called to see Mrs. --'s servant girl. I only saw her once; !; the-poor girl WAS eov cred with bruises, but she sustained no se- irons iniuries." But how could she have fallen such distance and escape so ?" asked the reporter Tt is very remarkable" the doctor replied. II saw the window, which is some thirty feet from the ground, and the hole in it is large enough for her body to pass through. I have no doubt that she fell from there to the wooden sidewalk below She has no bones fractured, nor did she sus- tain any internal injuries. The difficulty was to keep her in bed at all. She wanted to go about her work the very next day. Sue was very badly bruised though in different parts of her body.

CORN.

The recent aims have brought out gloomy messages from some of the corn growing regions, and especially from Illinois. Thus dispatch from Morris, Grundy county, Hi nois, says: Rain all the time But little corn is planted, and that in the ground is rot ting, and it would be better had it not been planted. The farmers are completely dis oouraged, as the corn crop is their main re. liance in this county, and it is now so late in the season that with a good season from this on there is not time to get the ground in con- dition to work and mature a crop" An in teresting statement concerning corn is made by leading member of the Chicago Board of Trade. He says that eight tenths of the ground in the corn growing States was plant ed by the first of June in 1878. In this state ment he includes Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Indiana, Kansas, Ohio and Missouri ''It is now the 9th of June, and I will venture to as- sert, " says he, ''that in all that area which is north of the latitude of Springfield, III not eighth of the corn is up above the ground, and serious apprehensions are entertained that it is rotting instead of growing We have had thus far one of the coIdest springs, with cold rains. and corn cannot grow in such weather. I own four elevators in the corn belt, and they are run entirely under my direction. On the 1st of June tele- graphed to the parties in charge of each of those houses asking for information. They reported only one carload in each elevator, which indicates that we are now wholly de- pendent upon farmers deliveries for our SUD- plies. Since then we have had cold rams each day, some days very heavy, and it still continues We need both rain and sun to make a corn crop. In 1881 we were burned out. and it seems as if we are to be drowned out this year. We have had no such season as this since 1869, when it rained every other day in May and June, and we had not quarter of a crop, the result being 96 cents for corn be- fore July l. There is more reason for high prices now than then, as we have not sur plus to fall back upon this year, while the de- mand for consumption now is much greater. , Whether this gentleman is a "bull" or 8 ''bear" on corn is not mentioned.
 Corn in Kansas has, it is said, made slow growth on account of wet weather, and the reports concerning it's condition in some oth- CT States are not very encouraging. But il should be remembered that it is altogether too early to despair of a good corn crop. There is plenty of time left for the corn to grow if the weather is not too much against it. As an illustration of what corn can do it is stated that on June 25th, 1880, hardly any corn was up in some parts of Illinois, and yet the crop in that State that year was 8 good one.

The day rose bright OCT the meadow stream, Ana the West-Uind paused in his way where lily fair in her robe of cream Was living her one bright day.

Low was the song. s murmured strain Of his love for the lily fair; Though the day went long he would come again Fer the shadows had chilled the air. White clouds arose in the summer blue, While the day went by tall noou: And zephyrs and sunbeans came to WOO The lily, who sat alone. The south-wiRd, idling through the air, Paid court to the lily nov; Bright necks of sunlight fingered there, Caressing her pearly brow. But the lily WAS waiting with brow to the wsyt.

Chinese Care for Graves.


 Respect for superiors is the foundation stone of the Chinese social structure. Rev erence for parents is the highest style of virtue while parents live. It becomes wor- ship after they are dead. One of the idola- tries of the Chinese from which, 1t Is hard to wean them, and which, indeed IS Is quite impossible for missionaries of Chris tianity totally to eradicate, is what IS called ancestral worship"-reverence, carried to the borders, if not far into the domain, of actual religious worship and veneration for ancestors such as no Christian man believes to be due or allowable from one mortal to another One mode in which this reverence shows itself is the care which the inhabitants of the celestial empire bestow upon their cemeteries and the abodes of the dead. In stead of suspending business to decorate with transient offerings of flowers the graves of a given class, as we yesterday honored the heroes of our recent war, the na- tion makes a rel gious festival of certain day in the early spring, just before the grass and leaves begin to sprout, when whole pop ulatiors, inhabitants of city and country, arm themselves with implements, and repair to the hills to spend the day, national holiday, in attention to the dead. Graves are rehil- locked and returfed, fallen or reclining grave stones are righted up, flowers are scat tered or planted, good things offered, incense burned, and everything done to show the dead that they are not forgotten. Some such observance as that of the Chinese, that should make a ceremonial observance, if not reli- gious duty ot caring for the memory of the dead, is sadly needed in this Christian land In place of an expensive street parade, end ing in scattering a few faded bouquets native or exotic on the graves of single class, Christian communities ought to repair in per son. or by proxy in the shape of hired labor to the neglected grave yards that are found in all parts of the country, and put them In repair, giving them thorough annual rejuven- ating, moving weeds and briars, removing broken fences, rectifying falling tombstones, cutting out unsightly undergrowth, trimming trees and hedges, planting fresh shrubs and flowers, and converting the resting places of the dead into pleasant gardens of resort for the living, in which it will be dehghtsome to wander and heart wholesome to mediate.

A curious application of electricity is re- ported in the French papers. The shop of vintner at CarcasEonne was recently struck by lightning. Among the contents of the | shop was a tun of wine so sour as to be un- drinkable. When, in the course of repairing damages, the vintner came to examine the shattered cask, the remaining contents were found to be very palatable. The astonished vintner called in a scientific friend, and now it is reported that by sending weak current of electricity through cask of sour or harsh wine the wine will not only be restored to soundness but will be mellowed into body and flavor such as it has been heretofore SUD- posed time alone could confer

Virginia is one of the States in which grape growing has become prominent industry It was begun in 1869 by two Germans on favorably located hill sides of the Blue Ridge range, and the crops were disposed of in New York. By 1877 these pioneers were producing nearly 5000 gallons of wine annu- ally. Last year they had thirty seven acres under cultivation, and turned out 3, 800 gal Ions. This year they expect to make out of their own grape crop, combined with those of neighboring vineyardists who have had the shrewdness to initiate their example from 5000 to 10000 gallons. At first they sold their wine through agents, but now they and are doing well at 1t. The two counties of Nelson and Albemarle at present produce together from 5O GOO to 60, ,OOO gallons annu- ally.
