MUSIC IN WALES.
Every Church and Chapel Has Its
Choir OF Fine Voices

Every Welsh church and chapel in
every village and town has its choir, says
the Westminster Review, often number
ing sixty, seventy or hundred voices,
and every choir has its musical prodi-
gies, leaders of parts, msyhap, who have
never had lesson in music in their lives,
or some uncouth colliers or tip.girls,
with voices which. had they been trained
and developed, might have made of them
great singers. District after district has
its ''united choral union," which will
take up the study of some work of the
great masters and deliver it at an annual
concert or Christmas festival, not in the
pale, fickering, dispassionate style
which is so characteristic Of some Eng.
lish choirs, but with rugged fire
and intensity. have had the good
fortune To hear the greatest oratorios
rendered under the most brilliant
conditions that talent and culture could
produce in this, the most talented and
cultured of all metropolis, but | have
never heard the majestic roll of the Hal
lelujah Chorus or the natchless melo-
les Of the elijah" rendered with such
soul and nerve and eloquence as by an
obscure "united choir" led by a work
ingman in a mining village among the
hills of Glamorganshire. Rough, if you
will !; ruggedly vehement and impetu-
Gus, cut rough with the roughness of
unpolished genius, impetuous with the
impetuosity of mountain torrents. The
force of il, the emotional fervor, the
richness of volume, the tone and timber
in it-these are things not to .be forgot.
ten. The same qualities in lesser de-
gree may be observed in the singing Of
any small chapel choir inside the
boundaries of Wales. You shall
never hear such singing as you
may hear on quiet Sunday even
ings from some Welsh hillside
sanctuary bya choir of working lads and
lasses, conducted 10y somo rough.and-
ready, unksmpt, self.taught musician.
Music then, we assert, is tho very soul
and kernel OF the Welsh nature. A
musical ear is the national birthright.
Every Welsh preacher who migrates to
an English church finds the greatest
difficulty in abstaining from that weird.
peculiar intonation OF his sermon which
is known as the hwyl and which ia often

ears. Another remarkable and subtle
fact which will be interesting to English
readers, and ut the same time significant

It may be interesting to glance at tho

It may be interesting to glance at tho
career of Marshal Peixotc, whose name
is now so prominently before the world,
and who, from the position Of private
soldier, has risen 10 the point of becom-
ing the ruler Of great nation. Born in
Alagoas, he is at present about 40 years
OF age. BY good conduct, application to
the special study OF military science, and
the display of exceptional ability, he So
cured admission TO the military school at
Rio, where he graduated with high
honors. Shortly before the outbreak Of
the Paraguayan war he had been nomi-
mated 10 q sub-lieutenantcy, and played
gallant part in several of the early bat
ties which took place during that pro-
tracted aud sanguinary struggle. His
promotion was rapid, and at the final
conflict at AQuidsban, which brought
the campaign to an end, he was in oom-
mand of the Ninth Regiment Of infantry.
When the overthrow of the empire was
accomplished, in November, 1889, he had
attained the rank of major general. This
was confirmed after the revolution, in
which he had no active participation, by
Senior Benjamin Constant, minister OF
war in the provisional government. The
following further particulars have been
given by the Daily Graphic;
When Senior Constant became minis
ter of education, General Peixoto was
offered and accepted the portfolio Of war.
He resigned, with his colleagues Of the
provisional government, as protest
against the scandalous affair of the port
OF Torres. His native state of Alagoas
Immediately elected him senator, and
he took part in the deliberations of the
constituent assembly which elaborated
the new constitution. In the election Of
officers which followed he was almost
unanimously appointed to the vice-presi-
dency OF the republic. In this capacity
he oifciated as president Of the senate.
Since his accession To the presidency,
General Peixoto has exercised his powers
with moderation, and il was thought at
one time that he would overcome the
rebellious spirit OF Rio Grande and San
Paulo without any serious eiiusion of
blood.

growths. Sir Hare must away now. A
rustling about his domicile, n question

ears, grid him for flying speed. With a
graceful, curying bound he clears the
sheltering cover, and, as a jangle Of bell
like music thrills his sensitive nerves,
he swings his furry snowshoes for every
ounce that in him lies. Away he flies,
lesping, flying image Of white speed.
At every bound he hears fierccr chal-
lenges in the storm Of trumpet tones
behind. Speed now at any price! Yet,
ran az he may, unerring nostrils read his
course in air and snow; hot red throats

Confederate Financial Legislation

The currency legislation Of the Con
federate States reminds one forcibly Of
the similar policy Of .he colonial hegis-
latures. The ast o, February, 1864, was
a repetition OF the colonial system Of bills
of credit, new tenor" exchangesble at
a fixed ratio for the deprecated notes,

was not the only case of reversion in the
history of the Confederate states to the
earlier colonial ways. The Southerners

was much to his credit, and compares
favorably with the position Mr.. Chase

IT Is cause for cOngratulatiOn that
40 prominent citizen as Judge
Brentano has determined TO take up
the matter OF police lawlessness In
Chicago. He Is we'll equipped for
the task, and may be relied upon TO
pursue the matter To a conclusion.
Hitherto the police have had to deal
with persons without money or with
out sufficient influence IN assert their
rights. Judge Brentano has both,
and he is evidently determined TO
see the matter through. In this
connection 10 Is interesting TO note
that the police authorities have
already discovered that officers have
no right TO interfere In a controversy
between citizens and street car con-
ductors regarding the payment OF
fare. They had not made this dis
covery when Mr.. Bray was clubbed
on a Cottage Grove avenue car few
weeks ago In fact, the police have
invariably obeyed the orders OF street
car conductors when disputes have
arisen with passengers. If the action
Of Judge BrentanO shall have no
other result than 10 settle this
question IL would have been pro-
ductive OF great good. II may be
hoped, however, that he will not end
his campaign at this point, but will
continue IL until the powers and
privileges of police officers shall be
fully and definitely defined for the
benefit and safety OF the public.
