From the Hartford Courant.

Seven years ago there was born in the
Berlin hotel little girl The mother
was a stranger, and tried to get some
one to take it, but it was of no use. Nc
one would have anything to do with it,
and as soon as she was able the author
tiles made her leave the town with her
child. She was elegantly dressed, and
eemed to have plenty Of money. She
finally found a woman to take care OF
the babe. This woman shortly after
ward moved to this town, where she
has lived the greater part of the time
since. For three years she received
visits from the mother Of the child,
who at each visit made her valuable
presents and paid her literally. She
claimed to come from New York. For
the past four years nothing has been
heard of the mother, and whether she
is dead or alive is not known. No
trace of her has been seen since her
last visit. wheh she left her child in
the usual manner.

In was Ole Bull who first believed
that Norway was capable of producing
a school of music worthy of place in
the world Of art, and typically nation
al, and that its foundation must be the
natural musical Inheritance of the
land. He listened with reverence to
the music of the untutored people,
wierd strains that had never been
written down, and it was he who first
played this music in the towns and
cities before cultivated audiences. His
mission was to pave the way in a new,
vigorous direction, for many compos-
ers, not to produce great compositions
himself. He inspired a whole army of
musicians to write out and arrange for
voice and modern instrumental music
what had before been preserved only
in the minds of the people, and to
use it as a corner stone for further de-
yelopemont. Norway was Ole Bulls
inspiration. 10 hear him play her
wild and plaintive folk-songs, her Wig
orous and sparkling spring dances and
hallings, and their stirring and inspir-
ing wedding marches, as he played
them, especially in private, tor his
friends, waking to and fro, and blend
ing them with the workings of his owR
fancy, was to hear him at his best
AUBER FORESTER in the Norway Music
Album.

GEORGE w. RICHARDS, who has charge
Of the census department during the
absence of General Walker says that
"the first quarto volume of the first
report is nearly ready" and that the
part OF the census relating TO agricul-
ture, which will fill from fourteen to
seventeen volumes, will be completed
by the next fiscal year. When the en-.
tire report viii be finished, heaven only
knows, ard heaven will probably have
forgotten before the time comes. In
less the year 1890 is postponed, there
is no likelihood that the work can be
