The POnca City Courier says: "All
the metropolitan papers yesterday
contained the announcement that
Clyde Mattox was safe 10 Jail at New
kirk. The Courier took occasion to
look the matter up yesterday anc
found that Mattox was not there and
likely would not be there until the
latter part Of the week. The intorma.

that while in Guthrie, Hon. Temple

at the conclusion that Mattox was at
home. Mr.. Houston was merely called
here to talk over some legal matters

This interval. which generally imparts an In
tense melancholy to the tunes in which 1t is
found is also of frequent occurrence in the
songs Of Wallachia and other Transylvanlan
provinces (see Engel. IAN Introduction to the
Study of National Music; Chic. Pub; Car.

Chic: Bost Pub: n. Y. Publ. and the circum-
stance that in these countries as in Hungary
the popular musicians are mostly gypsies might
be offered in proof that this minor scale is the
property OF Romany music AS a matter OF
fact. however. the interval is characteristic OF
Oriental music generally. It is relic that the
Moors left in Spain and the Arabs introduced
in Egypt. In the song of the priestess and the
dance of priestesses in the second scene OF the

feet beautifully and both OF these melodies are
said to be native to Egypt; Verdi borrowed. he

the fact that the fok-songs Of Hungary are VI

bound I'D with the nature Of the Magyar IAN
euage which distinguishes much more sharpiy
between quantities than any language OF hu

genius of the Magyar tongue, he says, iorpids
the treatment Of prosodically long syliapies as

ceyed strong corroboration in letter written
by Mr. Francis Korbay. an Hungarian musician
and scholar formerly in New-York, now In Lon
don (see Review Of the New-York Musical sea-
SON" 1889 -'9O), is powerful one. and is maze
conclusive by the fact that the metricai sche'iie
is not found in the songs Of the gypsies OUTSIDE
Of Hungary. Folk-songs being spontaneous
emotional utterances. it will generally be fouhd
that the rhythm of their melodies is governed
by that of their words and If this were gypsy
trait IL might confidently be looked for In the
songs which the gypses sing to Romany words'
Another rhythmical peculiarity marks the CLOS
