that the demand for meerschaum pipes

Was of German Origin.

The world has heretofore given tc
Rouget De rIsle the honor of having
composed both the words and music
OF the 'Marseillaise," but Karl Blind
IN recent article endeavors to rob
him OF that distinction. 1t appears.
according TO Blind. that the melody
was really composed in Germany and
was the tune of the ''credo" OF an old
mass. The mass in quest on was writ
ten in 1716 by Holtzmann. the kapell-
melster Of the Palatinate and the or

IN the musical library of the towns
church ct Meersburg From the Pa
launate, where Holtzmann composed
the air, il is not far cry to Alsace
and from AlsaIe the music easily got
into other raIts OF France. 1t appears
then, that ROuget De l'lsle only wrote
the Wo'5s of the "Marseillaise" and
set them TO the oli mass tune, intro
duclng a Quickened tempo for the pur-
rose of marital effect in a battle song
U. \. S2ia about eight years ago wrote
IN a London paper that the eminent
FRENCH mu. iyal critic. NJ Castil-Blaze
N his work entitled "Moliere. Musi
can. published in 1852, absolutely
denies that ROuCet De rIsle w,ote the
music Of the "Marseillaise. He as
