Musicians seem determ ined not to leave poor
old Handel shred of musical reputation, if
delvlng and diving into old archives can prove
him to be the grand old robber that it is the
fashion to call him. The latest discovery of
HandePs Indebtedness to other masters has
been made by sedly Taylor, whois described as
one OF the most intelligent and well-read Han
delian students OF the present day. In the
Fitzwilliam Museum of Cambridge, England,
Sedly Taylor has run to earth the fragments of
harpslchord pieces by Gottlied Muffat, copied
In Handel's handwriting-and the conclusion
jumped at is that Handel regarded them as
public property and used them to his own
glorification. Such is fame. Half dozen
generations may eiapse, during which mans
reputation shines the MONDAY sun, and
then some over-enterprising inquirer sets the
ball OF investigation rolling and enough evil
dence is dug out of musty museums to prove
to the worlds satisfaction that another man
wrote the authors books, or that the musician
was indebted, to his more obscure contem-
poraries for his finest flights of fancy.

JOYS WE NEVER FIND.

The sinking sun lights hill and plain,
The chaiets mid the green,
With crimson roofs and window pane,
Like beacon lights are seen.
The mountains lift their rugged heads
And pierce the azure sky,
While down their sides, DER rocky beds,
The torrent rushes by.
To yonder valley, far away,
With grassy meadows wide,
The air psrfnmed with new-mown hay
From fields on every side.
Meath apple trees and hazel nuts
Its winding course it takes,
Past clover fields and buttercups,
And empties in the lake.
And thus, sometimes, our life glides on;
We leave our Joys behind
To seek for others far beyond,
But which we never find.

In one of the side-shows along well-known
street in this City is exhibited a strange being,
known The Wild Man, about whom the
'spieler" has stranger things to say. Whether
they are true or not any one can judge for him.
self
1t is probable the wild man does not lose any
OF his singular characteristics by what his
"spieler'' says of him.
Yet he is odd and striking enough, taking
him singly. The nails of his. fingers and toes
are fully three inches long, rounded like
hazels, and bent upward. The bottoms of his
feet and hands are calloused, like the feet of
bear. Robinson Crusoe, when he chased down
and captured wild goats among the rocky cliffs
OF his lonesome island could not have had feet
and hands more impervious to hurts than he.
The tongue of the wild man is hard and
white on top, too, till it looks like the tongue
OF herb-eating animal.
These things, taken with the tangled name,
bronzed. scraggy beard and dark complexion
of the man, combined with heavy body and
thin, spindly legs, makes him look like verit-
able curio representative OF the genus
homo.
George is his name, and he is represented to
be an Aztec Indian, and of the age of some 40
or so years. His manager says he was cap
tured October 10, 1883, by Gutierrez and his
band in the mountains of Guadaioupe. Mexico.
He says that George then went on all-fours,
and ate herbs and twigs. "This accounts for
the singular appearance of his tongue" the
keeper set forth To this day he eats nothing
but raw food. When captured he could not
speak word, and though in the twelve years
since his capture, he has learned to talk, he has
no recollection of how he came to be alone and
wild in the mountains.
"The long nails of his toes and hands once
turned down like hooks. They have been
softened and pushed back where they now are,
by chemicals so that he can now use his hands
and feet something like the ordinary man.
ellis slim legs are two weak to support his
bulky frame long, however, and he cannot walk
100 yards till you will find him down on his
hands and feet going like an animal, as he
used to do in the mountains. In this way he
can travel at prodigous rate, going about as
fast horse.'
