An Artistlo Duel.

There has been no small stir in the
musical circles of Germany over the
quarrel between the Berlin violmist,
Waldemar Mayer, and Ludwig Hart
mann, the musical critic. Early in the
present year the Berlin artist gave
concert in the Gewandhaus at Leipzig,
and was afterward invited to meet a
literary and musical company, where
the talk turned upon the criticisms of
music in the journals. 81 know for n
fact" observed" Herr Mayer, "that all
these musical critics are to be bought" :"
A student at the University stood up in
great wrath and said that he comId name
one against whom Herr Mayer dared not
make such a charge. "Who Is he2"
asked the musician. "Ludwig Hart
mann, Of Dresden" replied tho student.
"We]l," retorted the other, eff he will
not take bribe into his own hands he
will receive one indirectly through his
wife. If wanted Hartmann to praise
me in the press T should forward the
honorarium for the favorable criticism
of Frau Hartmann" On the next dey
Mayer gave concert at Dresden, md
l eceived an invitation to visit Hartmann
after tho concert. 10 his astomshment,
rather than his pleasure, he was no
sooner ushered into Frau Hartmann's
saloon than he saw the young student
from Leipzig, as we'll as his. hostess,
confronting him. The lady asked him
If he would be good enough to repeat to
her what he had said in society at Leip.
zig. As he hesitated to do this, Frau
Hartmann struck him across the face
with riding whip and he received q
second blow on the back of his head as
he was hurrying out of tile room. He
went straight to his hotel and wrote q
challenge to Ludwig Hartmann, VIII ioh
the critic naturally enough refused to
accept. Mayer had already. fired his
shot at Hartmann, behind his back, in
Leipzlg, and Hartmann conceived that
his wife had saved him the trouble of
firing any shot in return. The duel was
commenced by the musician himself,
who had got tho worst OF 1t, but the
critic did not see that this was any rea-
aon for flghting second battle.

Last Days of Dickens.

Mr.. Merivale in recent paper says;

the memoir OF Charles Dickens in Mr..
Morley'a "Mep of Letters" The writer

meet some very especial peraons, and

and, finally, as leaving London for Cad
sbill on the 30th of May, to be seeu in
town no more. On the 9th Of June he
died. Mr.. Forster, I think, puts this
last appearance in London day or two
earlier, as the date ofhis own last dinner
with Dickens, who then, according to
him, left London, not to return, in o
state of profound depression, after din
ing with Mr.. Forster. But Mr.. Forster is
thought to have taken rather subjective
view OF his famous friend; and no doubt

his eyes fell upon the form of an infant

Horse- Breaking In japan.

Hokusai was never weary of studying
horses and their funny ways, and of all
creatures Japanese, horses are the most
amusing. These nags, which wear
laced.up shoes of straw, drink out of a
dipper, take hip baths of hot.wster.
and stand in the stable with their mouths
tied up higher than their ears, are
Drokon III to the pack or saddle in
very rough way. In Hokusai's days.
horses were meyer harnessed to wagons.
nor did they draw anything. The
ponies were usually "broken in" in tho
large open yards attached to temples.
Fires, also, are usually kindled, and tho
colts are driven close to them, so that
they may become accustomed to such
common sight. The method of break.
ing them IN was rs follows The young
horse was duly harnessed, and q man
on.eaoh side held bridal to jerk him
to the right or left, while another man
in the rear beat him with bamboo
stick, keeping we'll away from his hoofs,
Twelve or more men and boys then took
hold OF the long ropes or traces, and q
lively shouting began. The horse
plunged and galloped off, expecting to
get rid Of the noisy crew, but soon
found that this was no easy task. Tt
was twelve man power that made Him
go here and there, fast or slow, odca-
sionally stopping him short and giving
him tumble. Whom utterly exhausted, /,
his tormentors led him back to the sta
bic. After few such trials, the POM
was considered broken. Sucn crude
training, though fun for the mon, ruins
the horses, making them hard mouthed
and vicious with both heels and teeth.
