A Notable Charivari,

You read occasionally of a charivari
given in honor of a newly-wedded couple
whose marriage is regarded as incongru-
GUS, or is for some reason unpopular. At
the "skimmington," described in Thomas
Hardy's ''The Mayor of Casterbridge,"
the music was furnished by "cleayers
kits, crowds, humstrums, serpents, rams
horns and other historical kinds of mu-
sic." But Gabriel Peignot, in his His
toire morale, civile, politique, ct litteraire
du Chariyari, depuis son origine vers lie
i've siecle,' gives the exact makeup of an
orchestra for such celebrations in a town
Of from $1,000 to 10000 inhabitants: II
copper kettles, 10 saucepans, i big boil
ers, dripping-pans, ~ shovels and u
tongs, IL dish covers for cy'mbals, 6 fry
ing pans and pipkins. 4 warming pans, s
basins, 6 watering pots, 10 hand bells
and mule bells, strings of bells, 2 tam
bourines, gong, 1 or 2 empty casks, 3
comets bouquins 3 big hunting horns,
5 little trumpets, clarinets (badly
keyed, ? oboes (ditto) 2 whistles these
will be enough, 1 musette, wretched
violins to scrape, rdy-gurdies, ma
rlne trumpet ff you can find one), 4 rat
ties, 10 screeching voices, 8 bowling
VOICES, 3 sucking pigs, 4 dogs to be well
whipped. 'This is all that is necessary"
adds Peignot; Il can assure you that
when all this is vigorously set a-going at
the same time. the ear will experience all
desirable joys. Musical Record.
