Famous, Composers at a Musicale:

Madame Marchesi gave, a few even
ings ago, soiree musicale, which was
one of the most crowded and brilliant of
the season. Liszt, and Rubenstein, and
Saint-Saens, the composer of Henry
VIII" were among the guests, I must
confess that could not discern in the.
Able Liszt that fat and very big old man
in a straight, tight-itting cassock, with
large feet and a fa' embellisheds with
two enormous warts, amy trace Of the
lady-killer of the last quarter of CEN
tury. His long, thick white hair, reach
ing to his shoulders and carefully brushed
and arranged, was really the only at
tractive point about his appearance. Yet
this man has inspired ladies Of high de-
gree with such devoted yet humble at
tachment that they refused to sit down
in his presence He looked like very
large old French peasant cure astray in
fashionable drawing-room.2 glgzg
Rubenstein, with his short, fiat nose
and tempest of wild hair" keeps his
aspect as of a savage Beethoven, by
which he became familiar, several years
ago, to the music lovers of the United
States. Saint -Saens is modest looking
gentleman, with dark eyes and hair, and
fine intellectual brow. He interested me
most of the three; first, because greatly
admire his works; and, secondly, he did
not pose as a celebrity, as did the two
other famous guests OF the evening

thing about it. She worried over it for
months, and then bright idea struck her.
She sent it to dear relative on the occasion
Of her wooden wedding. The dear relative
had full set Of legs of her own, but Maria
said that did not matter, as an anniversary
gift was not valued for its usefulness but for
the giver
Then travelling agent traded me a case OF

she did not speak out, and was glad. After
some months Iventured to ask about the horse
powders, and then. Maria told mo frankly she
had mixed them in my griddle cakes, and that
had seemed to like them thus. She couldn't
think of having them go to waste, she said
and as complained SO much about taking any
little thing of that sort, she had decided to
smuggle them into me in disguise.
I had another short respite from keeping
things from going to waste, when mustard
plaster maker sent me six dozen Of his biggest
and strongest plasters, with request for
write-up. -' f 'N@@'a A-@sN- -
"Dear Archimedes," said Maria, with ten

with six or seven large, warm, thrilling mus
tard plasters stuck about here and there on
my person. There was one on each foot,
large one covered my gothic backbone and
another warmed itself ON my bosom. 1t also
warmed my bosom. When all these shop
made mustard plasters got to work they made
things lively for poor old Archimedes Hard
pan They filed me full of intense excite
ment. I am tough old fossil, but couldn't
stand great deal of that sort of thing, SO 1
rose up in bed with wild, blood chilling
war whoop and filled the air with mustard
plasters. IL.
I sold The Horn of Plenty soon after that
last painful event. Maria has given those
vigorous, thrilling mustard plasters to the
missionary society to send to the heathen, and
when the heathen adorns himself with nine or
ten of them and a stovepipe hat, and goes to
church with a triumphal air, I shall want to

great fame and good light. Its fitful blaze
n,ade tie dusky forms, as they fitted rapidly
too and fro in the misty atmosphere, have
very weird appearance, and called to mind
that passage in Mark Twain's "Gilded Age"
where thu old negro, who for the first time in
his lie sees a steamboat falls upon bis knees
and prays heaven to save him from the infer
nal thing approaching with its two big blaz-
Ing eyes.
Without doubt one Of tho strangest sights
the writer has witnessed in q travelling expe-
rience that has reached around the world II
the floating villages Of the Ohio river. Ine
great floods that have occurred along the
Ohio have given rise to such o feeling OF lnse-
curity that many families sold their land at o
great sacrifice and moved further inland.
while Others who were impoverished by the
foods have built themselves sort OF hat
boat, upon which they cook and sleep. But
this class, of course, are generally laborers,
who, when they work in q town, find this the
safest and cheapest manner to live.
The river at certain places was dotted al
over with this clumsy little craft forming
perfect floating village.
The scenery below Wheeling, and especially
in the vicinity Of Pike Greek bend, is some
thing almost beyond the power OF pen to de-
scribe, it differs so greatly from s@lything
seen before As the boat winds in and out

The FORMATION of North America.

The opinion is expressed by an emf
nent American scientist, in recent lee
ture, that the North American conti
nent had the beginning of its formation
in islands of matter rising out of the inn
mense ocean, which grew until they fl
nally touched each other. Many Of thes.
islands were volcanoes that threw up
l.aatter that had formed below the sur
face of the water, and were larger below
the water than above it: The Hawaiian
islands have had many volcanoes, and
were much formed by them. The whole
area above the sea is no more than that
of the state of Massachusetts, but their
combined bases must be equal to the
whole OF New England and New York.
Thus the original islands of this conti-
nent could easily have been made to en-
large and jodn each other, and the gran
ite rock is SO abundant was once erupted
from volcanoes. like flowing lava.
Among the first volcanic islands must
have been Greenland. Canada, east of
Winnipeg, the Atlantic district, the
Rocky mountains and the Sierra Neva-
das; but as the islands rose and enlarged
great deplessions would naturally com
mence and go on, and in this way the
depressions of Hudson's bay, the Missis-
sippi valley, and the Salt Lake and Ne
vada basins were formed. These de-
pressions would fill with massive
sediments, which would eventually be-
come rocks, and the depressions would
have a saucer or platter shape.-Chicago

seemingly change from one slae 70

mountains seemingly change from one SIDE 10
the otherg Now they are on the Kentucky
shore, and again upon the Ohio side.
The river narrows and the mountains grow
taller, until right near the boundary line,
where s,Old Kaintuck' and West Virginia
touch, they seem to have attained such an
elevation as to make it impracticable for a
man to get living by farming. Yet there,
on their great, scrawny, rocky sides, are seen
little green patches, and a small log hut can
be found by little patience, generally placed
on knoll and near the edge of gully, where
they seem balancing upon its verge and ready
to topple over at any moment.
Turning to the old pilot, for we had clam
bered to the wheel house to better enjoy the
scene, we asked for information respecting
the mode of planting these little patches. His
reply was short and quaint.
"Waal, stranger, bin rmnin' ON this yer
river for more'n a twenty year, and / never
seed them plant yit, but guess they sit in the
house and shoot the seed out over them
patches"
He further volunteered to inform us that
this was known as the @hoop pole deestrick,
where they were supposed to grow nothing
but material for making barrel hoops, and
also that "familee war'nt no familec" unless
it contained nine children and seven dogs
At Catlettsburg we got our first look at
"Kaintuck." and as we reached there early in
the morning this bright little Kentucky town
seemed more than usually pretty. Catletts-
burg is right at the mouth of the Big Sandy
river, and is notable from the fact that Gar
field, with his Ohio boys, ascended this river
during the recent war of the rebellion and dis

.,,.r,,ats Of a siberian CITY.

The markets of 1rkutsk are an inter
esting sight in winter time, for every
thing on sale is frozen solid. Fish are
piled up in stacks like so much cord
wood, and meat likewise. All kinds of
fowl are similarly frozen and piled up.
Some animals brought into the market
whole are propped up on their hind legs,
and have the appearance of being act
ually alive; and as you go through the
markets you seem to be surrounded
by living pigs, sheep, oxen, and fowls.
But stranger yet, even the liquids are
frozen solid and sold in blocks. Milk is
frozen into block in this way, with a
string or stick frozen into or projecting
from it, for the convenience of the pur-
chaser, who can take his milk by the
stick and carry it home swung across
the shoulder. So, in a sense which is
unknown in other countries, man can
buy his drink with "a stick in Gem

surrounding country, and are fitted out with
long rows of electric lights, which have
most brilliant effect il looking from the city
