Curlous Be- of Music.

In the library of Sir John Goss, re,
Gently sold In London was trans
cript Of q fOrty-part song composed
about the year 1875 by Thomas Tails.
Commenting on this fact The st.
James, Gazette remarks that "tO the
majority of musicians OF the present
day the composition of such a piece
would be a feat involving too much
patience to be seriously entertained,
and even among the WORKS of cOmpOs-
ers OF the Old-fashiOned school only
one piece of musical mosaic work of
such elabOrateness is known so far as
we are aware" Works of this char
acter are not numerous, but the Wri-
ter of the quoted words might have
known that about the time of Tails
the harmOaists of England and the
continent were much given to such ex-
hibitiOns Of ingenuity. In a last cent
ury essay on the church music of shat
era we read Il am. speaking of an
age when everything was scholastic;
when there were schOOlmen in music,
as we'll as in letters, and when if learn
ing had its Aquinas and Smiglecius,
music had its Master Giles and its Dr.
Bull, who could split the seven notes
of music into as many divisions as the
others could split the ten categOries of
Aristotle. a descant of thirty-eight
proportions of sundry kind was the
wonderful work Of Maistre Giles; but
Dr.. Bull could produce to the aston
ished reader (nOt header, for the hear
er would know nothing of the matter)
a piece of harmony of full forty parts. "
The same writer gives us the follow
ing amusing description of the intri-
cate music which prevailed in England
at the time Of the Reformation
They Che is speaking of the epistIe
and gospel ''were all sung not mere
" in simple intOnatiOn or chant, but
in this mode of tigurate descant, in
which the various voices following an
other, according to the rules of an
elaborate canon, were perpetually re-
peating different words at the same
time. One example of this kind. may
suffice, and a more ridiculous one can
hardly be conceived. The genealOgY
IN the first chapter Of st. Matthew's
Gospel was thus set to music. While
the bass was holding forth the exist
ence of Abraham, the tenor, in def
ance Of nature and chronology, was
begetting Isaac, the Counter-tenOr be-
getting Jacob, and the treble beget-
ting Joseph and all his brethren. 4"

Doctors Not InfallLbIe.

The opinions of doctors are far from
infallible. Their patients often die
when the practitioners feel sure they
will recover, and still oftener recover
when they feel sure they viii die.
Joseph HeFvey, of NewburypOrt,
Mass, is a striking example Of this
When he was p he had some ailment
which his physicians pronounced NOR
tai. They advised him to arrange his
affairs and look the inevitable calmly
in the face. He did not agree with
their demonstration, and told them
they were certainly mistaken. Soon
afterWard he married, although they
had assured him that marriage would
hasten his end. he is now 79. and has
survived his wife. his daughter, his
physicians and most Of his cOtempO-
raries. For many years he has suffer
ed from the gOut, WEIGH is vulgariy
thought TO prevent other diseases, and
never itself to carry one OF. His case
would seem to sustain the erroneous
notion, -L91geH Courier,

Robb1ne q Dead Robber.

The case of Wells, Fargo & Co.
against John Rogers, which is now be-
fore the courts, is rather a strange one.
About four years ago the BOdie and
Carson stage was robbed three times
in as many weeks by two highwaymen
named Sharpe and Jones. To stop
these depredatIOns a shotgun messen-
ger was put on the route, and the first
trip he made the stage was again at
tackled, but this time one of the rob-
bers (JOnes) was shot dead. A con
siderable amount Of money in green
backs was lost bv the company on the
two previous occasions, Sharpe was
shortly afterWard captured, and is now
serving a sentence in the state prison,
and he states that the time Jones was
killed he (JOnes) had a large amount
Of money concealed about his person.
When Jones was buried, however, no
money was found on him, and it has
recently been brought to light that a
man named Rogers, resident OF
Smiths valley, whose home IS near
where Jones was killed took the money
from the dead rObber as he came by
and found the body lying In the road.
The money was in bills of large de-
nominations, and the fact that Rogers
had lately tried to change some large
bills, led to his being suspected. 1t is
understood that Rogers admits that ne
took about $500 from Jones. and offers
70 return that amount, but Wells,
Fargo q Co. claims that he must have
taken in the neig hbOrhOOd Of 81, 500;

Latimer's Slight Mistake.

Capt. w. G. Latimer, of the Light
guard, was caught mapping yesterday
by some wac, who bet him the cigars
that four months from inauguration
day half the stores in Detroit would
be closed up. After the bet had been
made the wag explained that four
months from Yesterday would be the
Fourth of July, whereupOn Latimer
grOaned and bought the cigars. Then
he began looking around for a chance
to get even.
Last night the captain on his way
toward piety hill overlook Harry
Palmer and John B. Whelan.
''TOO bad Blaine is not in Washing
ton to-day, said the captain.
Eyes, replied Wbelan.
Projections the thing, after ALL
eyes"
''With Cleaveland president our in
dustries viii all be injured"
''DO you think sO?''
well, III Just bet you a dollar that
six months from to-day more than
half the stores in Detroit wiz be
closed, said Latimer.
Gan right, replied WheIan. 'sI'u
take the bet, and you may as well
hand over that dollar now"

DUST as we were moving away
policeman came running up, aud hold
ing his club under Vans nose threaten
ed TO brain him for disturbing the
peace and quiet of the neighDOrhOod.
''In the frontier country like Texas.
you are never safe from desDeradOes, -
1 remarked to Van Slyck, as soon as
we got away from the policeman.
He did not reply. but as 1 helped
him aboard a street car. he asked:
''Did you say there were no coal
holes in Texas ?''
''NO coal holes. "
81 believe L will 90 there as soon as
am abletO travel"
''Oh, no, wouldn't do that. You
might not feel safe in walking tho
streets.
The coal hole is one of the local in
stitutiOns of New York. There is a
coal hole in front of every house. IN
like the banana peel, the coal hole is
always in season. 1t is covered with
q round iron plate of about the size Of
a piano stool, and it IS always loaded.
When the cover is properly secured,
the sufferer merely slips up and sits
down on it. The cover is made of iron
and is never injured, even by the con-
cussIOn when a fat man sits dt-7n on
it with sufficient emphasis to shake the
birds out Of their nests at the anti
pOdes,
Very frequently. as was the case with
poor Van Slyck, the cover is not prop
erly secured and then the man who
steps on it puts his foot in it. In that
event, it is a miracle if the victim is
not manned for life. Falling over a
wheel barrow in the dark is a childish
sport in comparison TO it.
/ asked another New York gentle
man II there was not some remedy for
the man whose legs is bruiseo all up
by falling into a carelessly closed
coal hole.
"Oh, yes" he replied, ''there is a
remedy. Rub arnica on it.-AkeE. 2.
