SoUsA's BAND.-There is little
doubt but that people to whom
music is a pastime like Sousa.
Among bandmasters he is cosmo-
polite. He takes you from sTaun-
hausern to "Sweet Marie' by most
bewitching transitions. To slightly
paraphrase the translation of the cpl
taph engraved upon the tombstone
of the great Goldsmith and apply it
to Sousa, it may be said He leaves
no field of music untouched and
touches nothing which he does not
adorn.' The programmes are ar
ranged in such a way as to please
the greatest number, the great mass
of the people. In the course of each
concert he provides a sufficient quail
ity of the classical to satisfy the Gull
tivated musical ear, yet not so much
of it as to pail upon the uncultured
taste. Then he furnishes what is
generally termed popular music for
the delight of the masses, but not so
much as to weary ears that itch for
a higher grade. The band executes
any class OF compositions with equal
facility and art. Popular music is
given q new beauty, and serious com
positions are so artistically executed
as to make their beauty perceptible
to the least educated mind. The
band comes here fresh from great
and renewed triumphs and is play
ing in superb form. The present or
ganization is undoubtedly the best
segregation of musicians Chat Sousa
has ever directed, and is admitted to
be the greatest band that ever play
ed in this country. The band will
give concert at the Central Opera
House, Monday, May 25th.

CURIOUS STORY OF A WoMBAT.-
The wombat is little animal re-
sembling in appearance a small bear,
with short legs, broad fat back,
and very short tail. 1t eats grass
and other vegetable matters and is
harmless little creature, shy and
gentle in its habits, though it can
bite if very much provoked. In the
May Chatterbor there is story of a
farmer who had wombat for pet !;
he took it long way into the for
est in order to get rid of it, but
twice the little animal returned, hav-
ing found its way without help to
its adopted home. The third time
the farmer conveyed it across deep
and broad river, and as the wombat
cannot swim, he felt sure he had got
ten rid of the persistent pet; but no
the little creature soon found huge
fallen tree which lay half across the
stream, and crawling to the extreme
end, sat wistfully gazing at the de-
parted farmer. So touched was the
man that he padded back sgainl
took his fatlittle passenger on board,
and carried it home, much to the de-
light of the children. There is 8
number of other stories of Natural
History in this magazine about the
