Origin Of the violin.

The origin of the violin can be traced
back to a stringed instrument called tht
rayenastron. invented, it is believed. IN
5000 b. c. by Ravena, king Of Ceylon. The
crytb. which was in use in Wales long be
fore the Sixth century. and to which the
Anelo.Saxous gave the name OF fythei
whence our fiddle, was u similar instru
ment. The violin Of modern form was not
made until the Fifteenth or Sixteenth cen
tury. and its earliest maker was Gaspard
di Salo, of Lombardy, and the Italian
school of violin making was probably
founded by him at Brescia. These Bres
clan instruments still hold place among
the best ever made.
1t was not long. however. after the es
tablshment Of the Brescian school when
the makers Of Cremona began to produce
Instruments which have been objects OF
wonder and admiration from their time &c
the present The three greatest Cremonest
makers were Nicholas Amati, Joseph Gu
arneri del Gesu and Antonius Stradiva
RUS. To those who at the present tint
willingly pay hundreds and even thou
sands of dollars for a violin made by Oh.
sof these great makers it may be OF inter
est to know that they all were simple
hardworking artisans, who sold theii
works of genius for few tlorins.

The Republicans have registered larger

Democrats i'll this town and in various
others IN the district. There is no reason
to doubt the reelection of Congressman
Russell BY about the usual majority.
As tn the legislature, the Democrats now
hold three of the five senatorial districts in
the two counties. They are likely TO lose
one and probably two OF them. They have a
bare chance in one of the districts now held
BY the Republicans, but it is hardly to he
as d fighting chance. As things now look
the prospects are for four Republican state
senators and one Democratic.
The representatives in the state House OF
Representatives are now 80 Republicans
and - Democrats. There will be "a few
changes, on both sides, but doubt if the
proportion will be materially changed. \

NoRTHFIELD. Minn.. Oct. 19.-North-
field was in gala attire tonight in honor
of her guest, that prince of American
statesmen. Hon. Roger Q. Mills, of
Texas. Mr.. Mills was met at the sta
ton by the Democratic city committee,
officers of Carleton college and the st.
Olaf and Cleveland clubs and prominent
citizens, and was driven around the
city. Tonight amid blaze of illumina-
ton, blare of trumpets and waving of
flags, the largest crowd in the history
OF the city gathered to hear the great
leader of tariff refOrm.' Nearly all
the business houses and public build
ings were brilliantly illuminated, and
the streets were packed. The Demo-
Gratis were anxious to outdo the Repub-
llcan demonstration of last night, and
the parade of tonight was most eiab-
crate affair. The Northfield brass band
headed the procession, followed by the
Cleveland clubs of this city, Carleton
college and st. Olaf. in all forming one
of the longest parades that ever tramped
the streets of this city. At s O'Clock
the leading men took the stage of the
opera house, and after music Mr.. Mills
was introduced. His speech was GER
tainly no disappointment to his admir-
ers, and will be a potent factor in keep
ing the Third district in the Democratic
line.
RED WING, Oct. 19.-Great prepara-
tionS are being made here by the local
Democracy to receive Hon. Roger o.
Mills, who speaks here tomorrow even
ing. Oct. 81. 1t promises to be one of
the greatest political demonstrations of
the present campaign.

day to day that frequently hardly any
change in condition is noticeable.
