graphy of General Grant by James
Grant Wilson, which presents in short
compass the best and clearest study of
Grants military career thus far avail
able to the reading public. This bio
graphy includes many personal touches
which strengthen our acquaintance
with Grant, the man, but it's especial
endeavor is to disclose the merits of
his generalship, and in aid of this aim
a number of valuable military maps
are presented, by means of which the
reader is enabled to grasp the full sig
nificance of Grants plans of campaign.
Inasmuch as it was Grant, the COM
mander, who won and held the admira-
tlon of his age, this intelligent pre-
sentation of the military aspects of his
career assum,s noteworthy Importance

hero Of Vicksburg.

MUSICAL NOTES.


There is some humor in the story that
Frau Wagner the other day wrote an odd
letters to Hans Richter in which she said
that she had met Brahms only once. She
believed he was perhaps little interested
in Wagner's works, but that "his charac-
ter was too noble to allow any hostility
to appear" AS regards Brahms writ
ings, she said that of all his famous works
she had only heard one-a chamber music
piece. The coupling of the complaint that
Brahms was not sufficiently interested in
Wagners music with the naive confession
that she had never taken the pains to
hear more than one of his works is really
delicious.
Two young American musicians, Miss
Rose Ettinger, soprano, and Miss Leo
nora Jackson, Violinist, gave a concert in
Berlin last month which was well spoken
of by the German press. Miss Ettinger Is
a niece of Clarence Eddy. She will make
her debut at the Opera Comique in Paris
next winter, and the Royal Opera at Ber-
lin has also offered her an engagement.
