MUSICAL NOTES

Music is nothing else but wild sounds civilized into time and tune. Such the eXtensiveness thereof that it Stoopeth so low as brute beasts, yet mounteth as high as angels. For horses will do more for whistle than for a whip, and, by hearing their bells jingle away their uneasiness.- Fuller.
 The Treble Clef club gives the first recital of the season Tuesday after noon. And by all accounts it will be a very pleasing and enjoyable affair Besides the choruses with solos, Mrs W. E. Deity and MT. Fred Fuller will assist with piano and violin. The concert will take place in the Metho- dist church.
 An eastern lady has kindly laid out for us the poetic basis" of Fade rewski's Polish Fantasia. Here is her beginning. and perhaps that will suffice: It is one of those still, hot, dry, sultry days, whan everything is burning up, grass yellow, flowers wilted, your breath comes in labored gasps, your lips parched, your throat so dry that it seems to crackle; out SULITlQg. is noon of day, but so hot it is that you cannot hear the leaves move-so hot that the butterflies have not the courage to look for flowers. After a little while you notice cloud coming up; it is getting that peculiar feeling just before thunderstorm A damp stiffness in the air. Suddenly a low rumble of distant thunder is heard. It gets louder, then sinks away, and for few minutes it becomes close and not again, and you think that your promised rain was all an illusion. But, no. After a little while it re- commences again; it is a little louder man before, but very lldtle, and the neat IS such that you think you can- not stand dit. So on and on through a Cnunderstorm and a revival of damp. put satisfied nature. Nov one sofi sad farewell, and all is over" This IS all, and how we'll most of us know the style in which such things are donel

 A paper, noticing a. concert the 1 other day, described the movements in Mozart's Symphony (No. ) as "Allecon Spirits" "Andante" and ePrasto ;, "Allecon Spirits is good, very good. and the printer boy again triumphs.
 NOW that we have only one band and no rivalry we ought to have the pest and most effective music. Rut l am somewhat afraid that the hest results are Impossible until a little wedding out is done. I hare desire it 10 be understood that I don't write in dne spirit of fault finding, for the sake or dolng so, but to aid the great CT perfection of instrumentation. This can only be accomplished by the re tlremept Of some members of the band who cannot play and will never be able 10 do so. Let it be understood we are not all musicians, and as tihe adage truly remarks, it is difficult to make SILK purse out of sow's ear. It would really be generous thing for tnose W'no cannot accomplish or play omeDr parts to retire from the band me gain TOT the band would be i'm mense. Ut would lessen the work for Cne conductor one-haf and the public would be satisfied.
