MUSIC NOTES.


 There are some books, like the remark ably popular " Franz s Album of Songs" which awaken in those who have genuine musical taste real enthusiasm. One of these is the new ''Album of Songs," by Halfdan Kjerulf, (Oliver Ditson < Co., $1.5O). It will be difficult to find any where songs truer to nature, purer in sentiment, more melodious or beautiful than the B in this volume. The melo- dies, which are of the finest workman ship, with well wrought harmonies, and yet not difficult, prove that Kjerulf is a brother in song and the equal of the il- lustrious Franz. The original text is by the most notable writers, and includes a song in French by Victor Hugo. All of the songs have English translatlons.
 The readers of Ben Hur," Gen Lew Wallace's fascinating "Story of the Christ" will be glad to know that the sweet song of the fair Egyptian, Wake not. but hear me Love-" has been set to music by George l.. Osgood, and pub. lished by Oliver Ditson x Co.,, Boston, at 35 cents. f@ Victor Hugo's "Day Break" with music by N. H. Allen, "Nel, the Vil lage Lass," by J. w. Wheeler leach 3G cents), and Max Piutti's version of the Swedish Folk-Song, High in the Vault of Heaven" (25 cents), charming love songs, are announced by Oliver Dltsor & Go. They also announce the follow. ing choice instrumental pieces: "Waltz, from the opera of ''Love's Vow' (3s cents), "Lilly's Garden, Polka, an ex cellent teaching piece (25 cents), Man dolin Polka for violin, by c.

During the long days of summer when heat and dust are almost unbearable city people are very content to while away the hours in quiet mountain homes, but at the approach of autumn, the time of fading flowers and falling leaves, of frosty nights, when crickets sing in mournful concert and the voice of the katydid grows hoarse with age, country life loses its attractions and they hasten to the city home.

A WAR INCIDENT.

Messrs. Editors During the campaign which
eliminated in bringing Grant before Petersburg,
Va, new troops and those not of McClellan's old
Army of the Potomac, as they approached James
river were anxious to see and locate the historic
stream over and near which the famous seven
days battles had occurred, the aboriginal name
of which also so largely occupied dispatches and
letters of correspondents, and for the possession
of whose banks and wooded heights so many of
their countrymen had given blood and life. At
many points the stream had been bridged for
rapid crossing of the vast army, and at one, high
up stream, three or four canvas boat pontoons ad
been thrown across, intended for use of infantry
only, and here sentinel was posted to prevent
the passage of wagons, artillery and cavalry
The continuous repetition by thousands of passing
troops of the questions, "Is this the Chieahomny ?"
"Where's the Chickahominy?" showed they doubt
ed this narrow stream was the one they'd heard
SO much of, and in addition wearied the sentinel,
and his unique device, showing him genius, will
be remembered by many in Baltimore county, and
is only mentioned in this short item to recall
fading memories. On a cracker box top, nailed
to an oar and planted in the soft ground at his
side the sentinel had written in bold, rude charac-
tiers, with a coal from the smoaldering camp fire
at his feet that had doubtless lately heated his coffee,
"Read and not ask.
This is Chickahominy."

A Neighbor on the "Belt."

Baltimore countians fearfully divided on
the question of how to deal with "The Belt" 1t
would really seem the part of wisdom to consider
"The Belt" part of the city. All its interests
are there except the matter of tax-paying, which
seems to be the only ground of demanding per-
petual wedding with the county folk, and it doth
appear prcposterous that residents of "The Belt"
can long expect city advantages with country ex-
penses. The political question involved is of
course fully surcharged with all manner of polit-
ical crookedness but the holding of delegate or
two, more or less, to county convention or a
State Legislature is poor exchange for the ex-
pense to the county of afording city privileges to
favored portion of it at the expense of the resi-
due.
