FOREIGN MARKETS.
London Money.

London, June 25.-Business on the
stock exchange last week was on a small
scale, the markets being unsettled and
sensitive. Paris operators were heavily
hit by the fall in Spanish bonds and have
been selling largely which, with the Trans
vaat difficulty, induced general weakness.
Prices however, finished above the lowest
figure.
Americans lost ground moderately but
closed strong, above the worst figures of
the week.
Money was in good demand at from 1%
to per cent until Monday, "a for a week
and from 2 5-16 to S-S on three months

GOUNOD'S BEGINNING.

way to success, and the case of the
Well-known composer of Faust was
no exception to the rule. Shortly
before his death Gounod wrote a
brlet account of how he became a
musician, and this has lately been
published for the first time in the
British Weekly.
1t was before the boy was thirteen
years old that the spirited of music
stirred in his nature. He was a
pupil at the Harcourt school, and
had the hard discipline of seeing his
mother trndge through winter snow
and beneath summer sun to obtain
the means to pay for the education
OF her children. The boy longed
tor the day when he could help her.
But her views Of how that day was
to dawn differed from his own. She
wanted him to go to a university,
while he felt that only through
music could he live his real life.
His mother was determined. She
would do anything rather than see
her son "vagabond musician. :"
1t seemed inevitable that he must
become soldier. At last he ap-
pealed to her again.
II will stay at school if you wish
it," he said, "but one thing I am
determined on. I will never be-
come a soldier"
do you mean that you will not
obey the law which calls for mill
tary service?" she asked.
NO. he replied, "but I mean
that the law shall be dead letter,
so far as 1 am concerned. will
win the Prix de Rome, which will
free me from the necessity of be-
coming a soldier"
His mother saw that he was in
earnest, and went to the school
principal, Father Pierson, to lay
the matter before him. This pleas
ant old gentleman sent for the lad.

eve are going to spend our life
among musicians.
eyes, Mr.. Person." be answer"
"But music-is that a profess
sion?" asked the instructor.
"What about Mozart, Meyerbeer
and Weber," replied Counod.
The good principal was somewhat
taken aback. ooh, Mozart, That
isa different matter altogether" he
said. "He gave proof of genius
when he was only your age. But
you, what can you do? Let us see."
With these words he scribbled on
a piece of paper Joseph's ballad be-
ginning, "When my childhood was
past" He handed Gounod the
sheet. Come, let me have some
music for these words" he said.
The boy ran off, and two hours
later came back with his first
musical composition.
Good graciousp' said the old
gentleman. "You are terrible
fellow. Go ahead and sing your
little song now"
"Sing without panio?" remon-
strated the boy.
"What do you want a panic for?"
"To play an accompaniment. 1t
is impossible IN any way to set forth
the true harmony of the work with
out" pleaded he lad.
Nonsense, l don't care fig for
your harmony, ''said the old gentle
man. "What l want 10 know is
whether you have any musical ideas,
any rue musical temperament. Go
ahead" D."
The boy began to sing, and when
he had finished he glanced timor-
ously at his critic. Tears stood in
