THE JEW IN MUSIC.

From the Musical Courier
 A publication has been started in Leipsic edited by Dr. Adolph Kohut. It is called 'Beruhmte Israelitsche Manner und Frauen," and is to be de- voted to celebrated Jewish men and women in all manners of professions, arts, industries and literatures. The first four volumes are given over to musicians of Jewish origin. The list is fairly large, but not nearly so large and comprehensive as that published year ago by the Musical Courier. We miss the names-among others-of Richard Wagner-who had some Jew ish blood in his veins and much in his music of Eugen De d'Albert-a full blooded Jew; of Melba; of the De Reszkes; of Paderewski of Conductor Felix Weingartner; of Marcella Sem brich; of Otto Floershiem; of Verdi who has some blood of the race eoursing
 in his veins; of-but the list is so large that 1t would take up more space than we can spare at present. So let us be content with reproducing the names We find in the four volumes referred to- ~
