TALENT WITH THE BOW.

st. Paul talent, if not appreciated at
home, finds welcome arms further East.
Duke Smith of this city, is travelling
the Northwest contracting with some
of the leading musicians and vOcalistS
for an extended tour through the South
ern and Eastern cities between here
and st. Louis. Mr.. Smith thinks he
has picked up two gems in the persons
of Prof. AamOld and Hans jung. both
of this city. Mr.. AamoId is. without
doubt, the peer of any violinist in this
country, whose life and soul are fused
into his skill. The accomplishments
of Mr.. Aamold, of whom st. Paul
is justly proud, are wonderful, and none
but his nearest and dearest amateur
and professional friends seem to be able
to appreciate the genius which lights
up his every effort with the bow. Pol
iShed in manner, cultured in his themes,
inspired by that innate love which all
true artists bear to their prOpenSitieS.
Mr.. Aamold carries all before him with
an enthusiasm which would have
Swelled the hat band of much inferior
men ere this. Like Paul Stoeving, who
was an ardent admirer of Mr.. AamOld
when he was here, he depended largely
upon his business and speculative tact
for the accumulation of earthly stores,
which should rightfully have been ten
deTed him for Iris display of the marvel
Gus skill he possessed-so, too, it may
be with the only remaining light of our
cold. tasteless musical circle, which
only applaudS the latest importation
from abroad, and this is generally such
a one who has been tried there and
found deficient. MI. AamOld has agreed
to become a leader in Mr.. Smiths tour
ing company, and, as he leaves st. Paul,
the regret which many of his friends
will feel will be tempered by the con-
ISOLATION that he will return before many
months.
Hans Jung. although very recent
acquisition to st. Paul talent, has proven
himself to be most thorough master of
the vocal and instrumental parts of
music. He is accomplished, cultured
and learned, and poses as lion wher-
ever he exhibits his talents.
There is a surprise in store for St.
Paul people next winter. Miss Lulu
Taylor, aged twelve years, appeared for
the first tine in this city before the
select little audience which gathered at
Mis-. Stickney'S house on Thursday
evening. When Miss Taylor stepped
before them, violin and bow in hand,
while there was much surprise mani
tested, no one expected to hear anything
so extraordinary as that to which they
were treated in Miss Taylor's rendition
of the most intricate music. From the
moment the fair young lady drew her
bow across the worn instrument so
daintily pressed beneath her chin,
all neckS were craned and
ears were restless to catch every
note which left the strings of her inStru-
ment. 1t was as though some lethaIrgy
had crept over the audience, softly dOz
ing it off into a sweet dream. The little
miss, clad in her plain white dress, was
the very picture of purity, and the di-
vine music which she wrought without
any apparent effort, Whirled the senses
of her hearers into a dizziness of suS-
penSe, from which they only recovered
after the last note had died away and
the young girls foot as it struck the
polished floor, woke the trance in which
she seemed to have been nursing her
self. Hers is remarkable case, and
her music heggars description. The
best people of the city saw her at
Mrs. Stickney's home the other even
ing, and as they gaZed upon
her pretty childish face. they only &C

attending the refined and chaSte-minded
child. If this we're but so, all would be
well; but there lies back of that bright
and intellectual little countenance the
torment and hinderance of history and
circumstances, which, if they were
known, or could even be preached, they
would bind the little genius closer than
ever to the hearts of her newly made
friends in this city. Suffice it to say,
that Miss Taylor, with all her genius,
talent and accomplishments, is to-day
compelled by circumstances to perform
such duties and employ her time in
such manner as should certainly at
tract the attention of kind and generous
who would applaud genius, patience
and fortitude in such a young child in
some substantial! way.
A Fine State Fair Addition.
W.T.. Phillips, of Duluth, chairman
of the Duluth and Northern Minnesota
Manufacturers, Miners and Pro
ducerS' association, was, with several
members Of the association, in the city
yesterday. President Bushnell. of the
state agricultural society, accompanied
them to the state fair ground, where
they selected a site for magnificent
building to be erected at once to accom-
modate exhibits of the products of
Northern Minnesota at the Forthcoming
fair. Architect j. d. Stevens, of this
city, was commissioned to formulate the
