The Piano'Playing Plague.

| have sometimes thought that the
piano was detriment rather than an
encouragement to the cause Of genuine
musical knowledge, and the very rea-
sons which induced me to think so have
been publicly advanced in Paris by NJ.
Pagranne, who declares that piano
playing degrades the whole science of
music by. bringing 1t down to a vulgar
level. There are so many midding-
players who inilict themselves on So
ciety, in season and out of season, that
music has got TO be esteemed bore
What Nj. Pagranne chiefly objects to is
the inducement offered by piano-play-
ing to young girls and other people de-
void of real musical talent TO spend
large portions Of their time in acquiring
an accomplishment in which they are
doomed never to excel. Any musician
who has been compelled to pass an even
Ing at an amateur soiree musicale will
thoroughly appreciate the agonizing cry
which the French musician utters on the
subject of piano-playing. - American

There is breeze in the st. Louis Med

code. Several physicians had special

contrary to medical etiquette, Lecessi-

clans. How queer it seems that when a
good means of cure is found, anybody
should object to making 1t public. 1t is
no secret that many physicians use

AnE1opement,s Tragic End.

NEW BURGH, N. Y, April 1S.-About
week ago James Barclay, % years old,
eloped with the wife of Joseph Myers of
Montgomery. They came here and COM
menced housekeeping. Barclay had boarded
with Myers. Yesterday Myer came here.
This evening Barclay, on go
ing home, found Myers stabbing the
woman with. large jack-knife. She was
covered with blood from cash in the neck
and another under the left ear. Seeing
Barclay. Myers left the woman and at
tackled him, inficting two terrible gashes,
one in the throat and the other under the
ear Myers then drew the knife across his
own throat, cutting it from ear to ear,
and threw the knife out of the window
to the ground, where police officer picked
it up. Neighbors came in and a terrible
sight met their gaze, all three OF the bodies
being covered with blood. Barclay, who is
the least injured of the three, was taken to
a neighboring drug store where doctor
Sewed up his wounds.
Physicians were called to the house to at
tend to the injuries OF Myers and
his wife. They found the husband stretched
out upon the floor, but not unconscious.
Mrs. Myers was placed on lounge and the
doctors sewed up her wounds. Barclay de-
MES that he eloped with the woman and
asserts that she came here, suppOSing her
husband, with whom she lived unhappily,
had deserted her, and that he Barclay was
boarding with her. Myers, when asked
about the matter, asserted that Barclay did
it, but his wife, who was unable to speak,
her windpipe being severed, pointed to her
husband, to indicate that he was the author
of the tragedy. 1t is not certain that any
of the wounded will die, though all are ter
ribly gashed.
