Divide Musin's Second Concert Well
Attended.

Attended.
A second large andvery musical audi
ence assembled at the Los Angeles last
night to hear the Musin concert. The
programme given in the HERALD was
rendered with great success, and to the
delight Of the many critically musical
people in the audience. The brilliant
execution OF Mr.. Scharf on the piano
and the wonderfully clear and technical
vocalization of Miss Tanner were adj
mired and applauded to the echo. Mr..
Musin said to the writer after the per-
formance II am delighted with the
audiences of your city. / find the
strictly classic school OF music pleases
your people best. l Was more than
pleased to receive the appreciation OF
the people in selections of the highest
style of music"
1t had been announced to the audi
ence by Mr.. WE. GLADDEN., the business
manager OF Mr.. Musin, that on next
Wednesday night, on the return of the
company to San Diego, another concert
will be given here and Mr.. Musin said
in reference to this that he would surely
play the great selection on the 6 string,
composed by Paganini, and also the fa-
nous Suite from Ries, a duet for the violin
and piano. 1t is very safe to say that the
third concert will be the best patronized
of all, as the people are just getting
their taste whetted sfor the brilliantly
rendered music of this company.
THE TWO SISTERS.
Tonight Denman Thompson's COM
pany will present his successful COM
edy, The Two Sisters, at the Grand
opera house. The engagement is for
three nights and Saturday matinee.
The play is perfect museum of city
characters, cleverly and clearly drawn,
presented naturally and effectively and
with true and abundant humor. The
acting has for its leading and most
pleasing characteristic quiet natural
ness, O subservience to methods of COM
edy rather than to those of farce. The
piece is effectively staged, and it gives
splendid scope for scenic d dsplay,
especially the scene on the housetops of
New York at.night, and the scene before
the hotel where the men sit smoking in
their shiltsleeves, listening to a street
musician, who are all characters by q
faithful realiem without exaggeration.
The season is limited to three nights
and Saturday matinee. The prices for
this engagement are 81, rs cents, SO
cents and rs cents.

with such marvellous rapidity as the pc

A Rare New zealand Bird.

DR.. Fristedt has brought most inter
esting and valuable collection of birds,
etc., from Australia, where he had many
an adventurous outing, and from where
he proceeded to New Zealand. There he
succeeded in obtaining specimen Of the
quaint and almost extinct kbi bird
This bird is somewhat like an ostrich,
but only the size of crow, 1t has no
wings at all, and is covered with fur
like short striped feathers. Another pc
cuiaTity about the hbi is the fact that
it's egg is larger than one-third Of its
body.
He also succeeded in bringing home
some Maori skulls, which are difficult to
obtain on account Of the manner in
which the natives bury their dead.
When the bodies have been so long in
the ground that all the flesh has fallen
from the skeleton they unearth them
and carry them into the interior Of the
forests, where they are deposited in nat
ural caves, which are very difficult to
find. The attempt to obtain these skulls
is attended with the greatest danger, as
any one discovered with one is certain of
being instantly killed. = -Galignani's Mes

First, all the dead wood should be removed

bark with some alkaline preparation. II the
bark has the appearance of being h%ide.bound,

Sowing Grass Seed in the Spring.

If the spring seeding is to be done make the

plenty of seed.
When sowing seed for meadow It Is best to

Potatoes for Seed.

Potatoes to be used for seed require no
special preparation. They should. of course,
be sound and In a dormant condition when
taken out for planting, and the usual practice
Is to cut the tubers into about four pieces
that is quartered- but some growers divide
them even more, leaving not exceeding two
or three eyes on each piece, dropping three
or four pieces in each hill, or, If cultivated In
rows, drop a piece every twelve TO fifteen
inches In the row. busting the freshly cut
tubers with hard wood ashes or rolling them
in plaster will usually prove beneficial, as it
prevents the attacks of wireworms, and adds

Or litter the earth below.
