Instruments 1900 Years Old.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
An enormous crowd fills the museum
court and neighboring square at Copen-
hagen every midsummer day to listen to a
unique concert. A number of ancient Scan
dnavian horns, more than 5000 years old,
called "luren,'' are kept in the museum.
OF this collection fourteen are in good
condition. They have an elegant shape, and
the fiat metal plates at the mouthpiece
show good technical perfection and q de-
veloped taste for art. They are in differ
ent pieces fitted together. They were found
buried in moorland, and their good preser-
walton is believed to be due to the turfy
water. They are of very thin metal and
generally seven feet long. They were al
ways found in pairs, the one in tune with
the other. A few years ago it was found
out by DR.. Hammerich that they could
still be blown or played upon. Their tones
resemble those Of the tenor horn, and they
have soft but powerful sound. Some are
tuned in and E sharp others in D. E or
G. and these tones form an accord, but no
scala" On the balcony in the court of the
palace in which is kept the Northern Mu-
scum two members of the "capella" blow
tunes on two Of these primeval horns to the
delight of the Inhabitants.

An Agent of Cupid in Duress.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
Bruce Marcum of Jackson, KY, has just
been sentenced to the penitentiary for one
year. The crime for which young Mar
cum must suffer was a very singular one,
indeed, and the records of the courts of the
commonwealth will doubtless show very
few similar instances.
In the summer of 1895 Miss Ella Short
and A. S. Johnson, who were bent on mat
rimony, were having a difficult time of it,
since the father of the bride opposed them
and license could not be obtained in
Breathitt county, as the bride was not OF
age. Bruce Marcum, among other young
men, was very much in sympathy with
johnson in his troubles, and volunteered
his services to go over into Wolfe county
to see If the license could not be obtained.
He succeeded in obtaining the license from
the clerk OF the Wolfe court house under
which the young couple we're made man
and wife.
Most people thought this would be the
end Of the love affair, but the brides father
never forgave young Marcum for the part
he took In securing the marriage of bis
daughter without his consent 1t was
mainly through his instrumentality fiat
young Marcum was indicted for fraudu-
lently obtaining the license, and Is now
sent up. Young Marcum is well connected
