JEFFERsoN's VIOLIN.
An Old Instrument Which Is Said to Have
Belonged to the Statesman.

The ways in which violins of famous
make and great value emerge from OBJ
security are varied, and no greater proof of
this fact has been advanced for many
years than the discovery Of Thomas JEFF
erson's favorite violin in the hands of an
octogenarian negro near Charlottesville,
Va. The violin bears date of 1871, and
its maker was Nicolaus A matt. This
relic of Jefferson and of the skill of its
italian maker was found by Albert Hill
debrandt of 10 North Liberty street, Bal
timore, Md. Mr.. Hildebrandt is an anna
teur musician. The story of his discovery
and what led up to 1t is told by himself:
81 happened into barber's shop kept
by negro at Charlottesville and Incl
dentally asked him my favorite question:
DO you know of an old violin, as 1
want to buy one?' Ssid he: 4 knows of
an old fiddle. boss, that belonged to
Thomas Jefferson, and old John Scott
owns it now The barber was SO inter-
eSted that he sent one of his men with
me, and soon we were ON the road to
Scott's home, about two miles from
Charlottesville, at the base of the Month
cello Mountains and adjoining the old
Jefferson plantation. John SCOTT / found
to be an active, bright negro of 90 years.
When I saw him he was working in his
garden. I asked to see the violin, and he
brought to me from the cupboard dilap-
ldated double violin case that had once
been covered with leather. So many
years had elapsed, however, since the
leather was first placed on the case that
large part of it had come off in patches.
Opening it I saw that the moths had
| had a feast with the red lining. The in
| strument was wrapped carefully in a
piece of old cloth, and the minute
looked at it saw it was the best specl-
men of Nicolaus Amati's violins / had
ever seen. After while I managed to
strike bargain with the old man and
| the violin became my property. In it I
| am certain own one of the very best
violins existing today. The scroll is most
artistically carved, the model and work
manship beautiful. The varnish is of
golden yellow color and the pegs are of
| ivory. All that was needed was few
repairs and now it is a singing beauty.
| 'fJohn SCOTT, from whom 1 bought the
violin, told me that he inherited the in
strument from his father, who was a
slave of Thomas Jefferson. After return
| ing to Charlottesville with my prize I
| learned that Jefferson was quite good
musician, lover and player of the vio-
lin, and that he had owned several valu-
able Instruments of Italian make. The
| one had bought he had christened Pet,
and this makes me believe that it was his
favorite yiolin.''
The violin is today being constantly
| used by a friend of Mr.. Hildebrandt,
who is one of the orchestra of Balti-
| more theatre.

Shafter will wait.untilTthe arrival of the
reinforcemsnts now on their way.

The rumor that Gen. Martinez Campos
is about to proclaim a military dictator
ship wears an air of great probability.
Almost all of Spain's past difficulties
have been solved through military die
tatorship. The civil government is
naturally weak and feeble, and is al
most certain to break down when any
severe strain is put upon it. The real
dominating power in Spain is the army.
1t is the army that pulls down govern
ments and sets them up, and the ultimate
reliance OF every reigning dynasty must be
upon it If the army can be kept on it's
side it can generally pull through. Mar
tinez Campos is favorite with the army,
and is perhaps it's ablest commander. At
the same time he is friendly to tine pres
ent dynasty, If he has concluded to pro-
lain military dictatorship it is alto
gether probable that he is acting with the
approval of the reigning dynasty, and
with the Intention after the dictatorship
shall have served it's purpose of rehabili-
tating the Queen regent and her boy.
1t it be asked what is the present crisis
pointing to a military dictatorship the
reply is that the Spanish government sees
that the time is fast approaching when
the country will be compelled to make
great sacrifices for peace. 1t knows per-
fectly well that the Carlists and perhaps
the Repn bilcans, will take advantage of
Teace negotiations to raise cry that the
honor of the country is being sacrificed,
a nd bring ON if possible a revolution that
will enable them to seize the government.
Undoubtedly the movement looking to
military dictatorship under Campos is
to meet this emergency if it arises, by
putting the army, which will eventually
prove to be the controlling power, into
the hands of friend of the present dy-
nasty.

and eagerness for the full cup OF class
day excitement can survive it. Other
men hail with delight any willingness on
the part of their guests to promenade the
yard Here thousands of Chinese lanterns
strung from tree to tree swing overhead
in purple, green and orange canoples,
while the steady glare of red and green
fireworks throws the gay restless crowd
wildly before you. Glass day is like
cake walk. 1t is an affair of color. Here
too, the Varsity glee club sings and three
bands pipe the hours away. Thus passes
class day evening in the yard. 10 the.other
places of music and dancing. Memorial
and the gym, I hardly dared venture.
By ten O'Clock one is able to distinguish
patches OF ground once hidden beneath
garden seats loaded with pillows OF
muslin, and at length after the lanterns
go out and the yard well runs dry we un-
derstand that the '9S class day is at an
end.
The senior is envied. He should he
pitied. His pride Is probably the only
thing that pulls him through the day
without nervous prostration. His full
enjoyment of class day is best taken out
in retrospect of 1t ten years hence. He
works hard. His is at best case of

The battle of Quasina. as the bloody
fight near Savilla ON Friday will be
known, was victory for the Americans,
but it was dearly purchased one, for our
loss especially in officers, was very large
when compared with the number of men
engaged. There can be little doubt that
all the advantage obtained by it might
have been secured at much less cost had
more prudence been observed. The ad-
vance was .toolpreoipitate and took into
too little account the dangers of ambus-
cade for which the nature of the country
is we'll adapted and at which the Spanish
troops are adopts. There can be little
doubt that the attack was unexpected by
the American troops, in fact that it took
them by surprise. Only soldiers of the
best description would have stood up I'M
der it.

The American army is close to the gates
of Santiago-or to stick closer to the facts
CLOSE to the barbed wire fence which
surrounds it. But unless the Spaniards
should make sortie, which is highly i'm
probable, number of days and
perhaps a week VIII elapse before there is
any general fighting. 1t may be that it
will be decided to invest the place and
capture it by the slow process Of SIEGE
Much depends Of course upon the strength
of the defences and also upon the health
of the American army. If the surround
ings of Gen. Skaters troops are unsani-
tary it may be concluded that the loss of
life from the guns of the enemy in an as :
sault may be less than that would result
from the ssprotracted stay which siege
would involve, and the former may be
decided upon as moro humane to our
troops than the latter. If AN assault is
decided upon it is probable that unless

Spanish statesmen and soldiers seem to
be lot Of paranoiacs They are con-
stantly boasting of their power, and i'm
agining that they are about to do great
things ut..when it comes to performance
they are utterly impotent They have
plenty of energy for brag and buster.
and they roll out high sounding sentences
expressive of their patriotism. But
when they have done this they have ex.
hausted themselves. History may be ran
sacked in vain for such an exhibition of
impotence as the Spanish government
has afforded since this war broke out
Yet the Spanish soldiers and sailors bave
shown themselves whenever Opportunity
has offered, to be brave men and ready to
fight hard. The secret of the failure to
accomplish anything seems to lie in the
incapaoity of the administrative officers,
both civil and military.
