troversy, and also give a little inforna-
ton to many readers, will you oblige me

L. II. q.
Edouard Remenyi is a Hungarian
musical artist, recognized master of the
violin, who has made three tours of
America. He is now violinist TO the
Emperor Of Austria and to the Queen of
England, but he is far from being aristo-
cratic himself. In appearance he resem-
bles priest, but he is far from being
clergyman, though he is q pure, GOOD
man. lie was born at Moskole, Hun
gary. His master was Bohm, the teacher
of the great Joachim. In the last war for
| independence in which his land engaged
he was soldier, and was promoted for
daring to be Aid-de-Camp to the Com
| mander in Chief. with the rank of Lieu
tenant, though then but years of age. In
camp he played to his comrades on
| the violin, and thus his talent became
| first known. When his cause was over
| thrown he fed to England, and en- route
| fell in with List. who became his friend
and counselor. His genius soon COM
manded attention and he was made Royal
solo VlollnlSt. w hen permitted to return
/ to his native land, the Emperor called
him TO Court and made him Imperial vio-
! linist. He first came to America in 1878
| and appeared in sacramento in 1879. He

where his talents have commanded the
admiration Of music lovers. He is an
author, has written one work on travel
and one on Japanese art. He is an art
critic of acknowledged superiority. I'm
! like most artists, he never touches to-
| bacco or wine and is a man of rigid hab-
| its, but of broad charity and most genial
disposition. He possesses more rare old
and costly violius than any other person,
the Amatis. Cremonas, Guanarius, Stradi-
varius, Lupot and others. His tavorite is
a Lupot and he has named it Her Lady
