Mn.ical Talent in ryroI

Musical talent IS. without comparison
the gift of nature most widely diltused Ia
Tvrol. and TO a stranger, particularly an
Euchslman, it Is amazing 70 find q finely
developed ear and a capital voice N the
commonest country lout, who scarcely
knows his : b {, and to whom Bismarck
is an unheard Of being.
To be able to join with d second or
third voice in q song which they have
never heard before IS a very common ac
complement. For instance, q lady CT
NV acquaintance was one afternoon play
ing and singing a Niennese air. The
windows were open. and two country
las-es passing along the road stopped and
listened for Il little time. Presently,
when at my request my friend repeated
Che song. the two girls fell in, n with
the second and the other with the third
voice.
Being q stranger in the country, my
friend would not believe that the girls
were common peasant lassos, unac-
uuainted with the piece Of music which
she plaved: and so, in order 70 convince
her, | sent down for them and made
them accompany her in a number OF
songs which she sang to try them. IheIr
%intonation and expressive voices excited
her admiration Nc less than the piano did

Mr.. julius Cesar Burrows, tho Michi-

cause of tariff reduction, Just as Malone
acts as a Democratic canvasser without
intending 1t. Mr.. Burrows Insists that
the eflec, OF protection Is to reduce the
price of products to the consumer
1t matters not how he gets 10 that
irrational conclusion, 1t Is all the same TO
the Republicans. They continue TO de-
clare that people get clothes cheaper un-
der the war tax duties, though just
across the Canada border we see people
buying goods for less than a third what
we pay.
Mr.. Burrows says also that the farmers
will have 10 XIII all their sheep II the
duty on wool Is taken of. So we'll and
so good. The meaning Of 1t In plain
English is. that all the millions of people
must paw a third more for wooden goods
to save the lives of sheep belonging to
about 10000 people. Or say that the
sheep owners are 100000, why should
$1,000 900 pay a third more for wooden
goods Just In the interest OF that small
minority!

The card Of Mr.. Greenhow published in

very Just statement Of facts. He shows
that he was not obliged under the law to
refuse coupons for taxes and that the
Attorney.G General of the State advised
him TO receive them.
1t appears that this is a matser Of law
and not politics, and we do not hesitateto

in establishing Ii rule that party shall over
