There am too Much Music m the Air.

 ancient and honorable pueblo and be by ] heat compelled to take his nights Test
 al t.esco. as most of us do during the ] hCt Eesson.
 Just thLk of the musical entertain-

 slrts Of ,la c.ty! say Eo;Lipg Of tbe 1 tuus.ui eToln-ious We have to undergo cr San Juan's and San Pedro's days, 1 they seem t0 be an old heirloom of the iu-d ol the nsnaua and We have accept eo them Gs necessary evil, us it were.
 We have even got more or less Gccu-tom- cd Co nightly concert for. the bstter part Of d month of Big Drum, without ! question the most mel, dIous of all IT, etTum sn:s ever invented. l see 1t al- ready looming up-fur the fiesta Is ] dreadiuIy n.ai-and shg d a silent tear m Ghticipse.On.
 1 The custom of greeting our friends ! on their names or sa nt's day IS uu- 1 qGes;!onsbiy most friendly aud be coming act, but when # takes the shape ! uf pr0iructed srranade iu the wee smali hours of the morning. 1t is, not ' t. put too tiLc point upon it, nui- ssrce and an Iupos. ..lon on the neigh boTs. There Is not so much objs ctlon | to 5erengde a lovely SenorItR with a ! poetic uGne ise ROsIta or AZucena, but Tben II comes to turning band loose on g Baitaazar. OuOfre or Hermeuegildo 1 then It Lc comes too much too too.
 ltis also very appropriate to trip the 1 light fantastic after the nupiiai knot Is tied and tue custom Gry breakfast dI.ested. But when the music SO employed insists upon milicting is supernumersry airs and tones promiscuously upon the whole nelghbOrhUOd after playing the nuptial party luto bed, and when said music persists in such melodious Iiberality the day and night after the wedding and possibly another day or plight, then you wish that old Boreas would come and freeze the trombone and horn to the very marrow. Because the said mus c notwithstanding its protracted practice does not improve. far from 1t. You begin to perceive some irresularities in the measure first, next you hear few pauses played and finally you will be surprised to hear melody set to three flats wind up with fearful crash set 10 i've sharps.
 Add t) this now that a neighbor is learning to drum on the poetic guitar. tie or she has two for n quarter in- s'runent and has learned the first tune He or she has to demonstrate that very gratifying fact to the whole neighbcr- hood; fits down On chair in front of the door and plays that tune tlll one or two strings burst. As n rule very dishar- monluus nGrmonica finds its way along aui profits by the opportunity and jnIns ln feeling accompaniment.

 S1ii is, Mr. Editor. so it is; and 1 am glad of 1T, for ttis very circumstance g,ves ms the Fem -dy right into my hands l labored for a long time under the mistaken m pressiou that the police ct Hn orzariz-d city he'd the rigrt, not Co say tbc obligation, tO march at least that plrt of our youthful midnight r0istoring population which IS yet 1T the full enjoyment Of their milk teeth, to their respective homes and put them in their It.le beds, but l see now my mistake. This is a free country.
 There Is nothing to do but to act on on the homeopathic principle, Counter act poi~oE with poison.
 l therefore propose and am undertak- ing the establishment of q powerful instrument which will incontinsDt- ly outsuund Bll the music yet known, completely drown it. as 1t were. 1hIs In strument. Mr Editor, IS fog born, with quadiulle centre spliced, steel-lined vibrating valves in its throat of the size @. immature windmill. This toghorn can easily be connected by underground | pipes with the steam engine of the ice works. aud be made to issue forth its howl at will by the turDing of just one crank. Will you help me, Mr. Editor, to procure subscribers for the enter prise. there being no other remedy? II vou doult the efficiency of the remedy, | | will simply state that no man ever l stood for a whole minute near the mouth l of a fog horn-while it WAS doing its duty-and lived; 1 even doubt that the 1 grand bust o' GabrIel's Inst trumpet l will be able ta improve much on 1t.
 bet you plate of strawberrys with ! cream against a banana peel, that all ] the above mentioned music makers, l when they Lcar thrt fog horn turned Irse. will drop their diverse instruments l s,l cry oat ia chorus: There am too l mach music iu the air. Js.
