LOwly Origin OF Great Musicians.

Madame Materna, the greatest of liv-
ing dramatic oingers, is the daughter of
a poor pedagogue in Syria Christine
Nilsson was ragged street singer
Jenny Lind was peasant child. Cam
panini was servant. Brignoli was a
cook. Nicolini ''tended bar" Had not
Rossni given Alboni instruction the first
half of the century might have lacked a
great contralto. Her SUCCESSORS Cary,
Emily Winant, and Hope Glenn-are
simply American girls, whose nobility is
in true hearts and not in coronets.
The Bach family, illustrious musicians
for two hundred years, were always so
poor that they had to take lessons from
each other. Balfe was the son of an
Irish cottager. Beethoven's mother was
cooks daughter. Haydn's father was
a wheelwright. Gung'l, who has writ
ten the most delicious dance music,
learned to sing while his father wove
stockings. Lucca is peasants daugh-
ter. Paganini was born and bred in
want
Schumann's childhood was spent in a
print shop. The father of Listz held a
petty government Office. Wagner's
father was police court Dogberry The
only representative of royalty who at
tanned respectable place in music was a
woman-the Princess Amelia, sister of
Frederick the Great.

Greenland Vegetables.

In Greenland attempts have been made
to raise some of the common plants OF
European gardens. AT the Danish sta
ton of Godthaab latitude Ga degrees),
close to the open sea- turnips, radishes,
lettuces and parsley are almost the only
plants that can be cultivated with any
success. The turnip, indeed, requires a
favorable summer to produce anything
like tolerable specimens. The cabbages
are scarcely worthy of the name: but at
two island stations up the ford, about
thirty miles north of Godthaab, the eli
mate is strikingly different. Here, DIR.
Rink informs u.s. turnips always came to
perfection, carrots prosper well and at
tain fair size, and cabbages, though
unable to develop thick stocks, yet pro-
duce tolerably large leaves, which the
provident Danes stow away for winter
use. Attempts have been made to cult
vate potatoes but the tubers never at
tain size larger than marbles, and are
only grown and eaten as curiosities. Under
the most favorable circumstances, green
peas only produce shells in which the
peas are barely recognizable. This is
within the Arctic circle, or at least on it's
immediate borders. In South Green

latitude as Christiana, good carrots have

strawberries have grown we'll and yielded
fruit for several years, but they after

of the climate. At Julianshaab turnips
often attain a weight of more than half

At Jacobshavn, in sixty-nine degrees,

that remote place passed for garden,

Moments OF Inspiration.

Verdi, the great Italian composer,
when engaged on his masterpiece IL
Trovatore," stopped short at the pas,
sage of the "Miserere,' being at a
loss to combine notes of sufficient sad
ness aud pathos to express the grief
of the prisoner Manrico. Sitting at
his piano in the deep stiffness of the
winter nights his Imagination wan
dered back to the stormy days of his
youth, endeavoring to extract from
the past a plant, groan like those
which escaped from his troubled
breast when, forsaken by the world,
he saw himself constrained to smother
the flame of rising-all in vain! One day,
at Milan, he was unexpectedly called to
the bedside of dying friend, one of the
few who had remained faithful to him
alike in adversely and prosperity. Verdi,
at the sight of his dying friend, felt a
lump rise in his throat he wanted to
weep, but so great was the intensity of
his sorrow, that not tear would come
to the relief of his anguish This state
of paroxysm martyrdom could not last.
He must give vent to his grief In an
adjoining room stood a piano. Verdi,
under one of those sudden impulses, to
which men of genius are frequently sub
ject, sat down at the instrument, and
there and then improvised that sublime
Miserere of the Trovatore. The must
clan had wept! Those of the company
who were not already kneeling in the
presence of the angel of death, at the
sound of those pathetic notes, which
seemed like the last sobs of a departing
spirit, now Frustrated themselves, deep
ly affected, at the feet of the genius OF
musical art CfrlO Ceceayeli.
