Anecaote of a Great Musician.

Count Beust, late Austrian Minister to
England, is given as the authority OF
curious anecdote about Wagner. Beust
vas some years ago president Of the
council in Saxony, and Wagner, who had
been obliged to fly the kingdom on &C
count of the share he took in the troub-
les Of 1s49, hal taken advantage OF the
amnesty to return. He called upon the
count, When the latter remarked: They
tell me that your friends are getting up
an ovation for you. Countermand 1t; 1T
will only lead to unpieasantness.
"Whatr' asked the composer, "dees nor nor

Music has nothing to do with the mat
ter. But, you know, youtoo part IN the
events of 1919" oh" said Wagner,
''is that all? Do you still think about

A Human BcanStalk.

European physicians are at loss to
account for strange phenomenon
which has attracted their attention. 1t
is the singular rapidity with which
French lad, nineteen years of aye has
grown. The following is a condensed
narrative of the extraordinary fact:
The lad, whose house is in the Haute
Caone, was b rought to Paris by physi-
clan, as medical curiosity. He was
then six feet thr'.e inches tall, and il was
supposed that he had attained unto his
full growth.
But in May, 1881, it was found that
he had taken fresh start, and added
one inch to bis stature. Every week
his height was registered. On the l4th
Of September of the same year, this hui
man beanstalk had gained five inches
more.
Another five inches we're added by
January Goth, 1882, and seven more by
March Is, when he measured seven feet
ten inches.
For over a year his growth has been
confined to his lower limbs and feet, and
the latter now measure twenty-four
inches. Such rapid growth is necessari-
ly accompanied with great pain, and he
stoops considerably, as if unable to sup
port himself.
The following patents were issued last
Tuesday:

The British steamer Sultan, which ar
rived at Hamburg, Ssturda" night, collided

but fog then set in which continued and in
creased in intensity, The engines of the
Cimbria were kept at full speed until 1:3O,
and then at half speed until g. after
which they were kept at slow
speed. About 2:1O tbs whistle of another
steamer was heard and the engines of the
Cimbria were stopped instantly. The Sui
tan green light was, owing to the fog not
observed until she was only $50 feet of
