ahead of his enemies, as is shown by q
recent find in Chesapeake Bay. A

water and picked it up. To his sur-
prise he found an oyster, with its
she'll tightly closed on the bill of the
duck. Evidently the duck had found
the oyster with his shell opened, and
tried to make a meal of him. The
oyster had shut his shell on the ducks
bill, and chung there in spite of the
birds efforts to shake it off; and its
weight had gradually weariedthe due :.
and finally pulled its head under
water, and drowned it. The duck ant
oyster were brought to Baltimore and

The Boston symphony Orchestra.-The
Boston symphony Orchestra, whose per-
formances come very near representing
perfection in musical art, will give its
second concert at Metzerott Hall tomorrow
evening. The attractiveness of a brilliant
program will be increased by the initial
appearance in this city of Mr.. Cesar Thorn
son, the famous Belgian violinist, who is
to he the Soloist of the evening. Mr..
Thomson came to America with the pres
tige Of great and continuous success in
European capitals. and added to his laurels
the occasion OF his urSt appearance In
this country at a recent concert of the
Philharmonic Society OF New York. He
ranks with the greatest of violiniSts, and
in his absolute mastery of violin technique
he probably has no equal. His Washing
ton debut is likely to prove one of the most
interesting features of the present season
He Will play with the orchestra the Adagio
from the Bruch Concerto for violin and
the Concerto by Paganini, a work of
amazing difficulty. III which his remark
able qualities Will be shown to the best adj
vantage. Inc orchestral numbers of the
program include Johannes Brahms SYM
phony No. 4, in h minor; Franz Schubert
ballet movement and Entr'acte from
"Rosamunde;' Georges Bizet's Earliest
enne.' orchestral suite No. l, and Joh
Svendsen's Carnival in Paris.
The Bischoff Concerts.-The sale of seats

of these concerts. The first will be given
on Friday evening, the 18th instant, and
the others will be on the second Friday of
each succeeding month The program will
be carefully arranged and will be fully
equal to those of former years.
Convention Jiall.-The concert of the
Moody and Sankey Choir, which V i'll take
place at Convention Hall on Wednesday
evening, will be an interesting musical
event. This choir is the largest permanent
organization of Gospel singers in the world
and under the direction of Mr.. Percy s.
Foster 1T has acquired high degree of
proficiency. The program will include
some fine anthems in addition to choice
Gospel hymns. The soloists will be Mrs

jr., and Mr.. f J.Woodman.
Dean Hole.-Tonight the Dean of
Rochester Cathedral will lecture on 80
ciety In England" at Metzerott Hall. The
dean has arrived In the city in most ex-
cellent health and spirits, and will doubt
less give his hearers a rare treat this even
ing. The subject is a favorite one with
him. and surely no man has had larger
experience and is more capable of pre-
senting 1t in an attractive manner.
