A Chinese Musical Legend.

The Chinese have some extraordinary
superstitions relating to music. Accord
ing TO their queer notions the Creator of
the universe hid eight sounds in the
earth for the express purpose of COM
pelling man to find them out.
According to the Celestial idea the
eight primitive sounds are hidden in
stones, silks. woods of various kinds, the
bamboo plant, pumpkins, in the skins of
animals, in certain earths, and in the
air itself. Anyone who has had the
pleasure (O of seeing and listening to a
Chinese orchestra will remember that
their musical instrument are made of all
these materials except the last. and that
the combined efforts ri the other seven
seemed better calculated TO drive the
ethereal sound away than to coax it from
the air. which is really the object of all
Chinese musical efforts. When the
band plays the naive credulity of the
people, both old and young. hears in the
thuds of the gongs and the whistling of
the pipes the eternal sounds of nature
that we're original. deposited in the var
ious animate and inanimate objects by
the all wise Father.
