Tho Bagpipe.

The bsgpipe is almost universal
throughout Asia, though at present
not so much in use as it seems to have
been in former ages. It is used among
the Chinese musicians, and is met with
in Persia, where it appears to have
been more general in former ages than,
at present. Where is also a Hindoo
bagpipe, and in Egypt it was used to
some extent, but is now rarely met
with. In Italy it is common. 1t is
said that the Italian peasant believes
that it is the best beloved music of
the Virgin Mary; also that it is the in
strument upon which the shepherds
expressed their Joy when they visited
the Saviour. When the italian peas
ant visits Rome on the anniversary of
the birth of our Saviour he always
carries his bagpipes with him. The
Romans are said to have been ac-
quainted with this instrument, and
most likely the Greeks also. In Scot
land it is henational instrument, but,
even there it's use is dying out.-,From
The st. Louis Democrat.

VINCENNEs, May 15.-[Special. THE
second contest under the Australian cleo
ton law in Indiana was begun today in
the Knox circuit court. Francis Murphy,
democratic candidate for mayor, who was
defeated May last at general city cleo
ton by Oliver E. Miller on the citizens
ticket, has brought suit to contest the
election. Murphy alleges that twenty
five votes cast at the late election and
counted for Miller should have been
counted for him. The bringing OF the
suit has occasioned a great deal of talk.
Miller only defeated Murphy by four votes,
and the result of the suit is awaited with
much interest, since there is no end to
comment regarding irregularities and the
illegality OF certain votes.
