The laugh often comes in the very

midst Of disaster is told by Captain T.
G. Morton in the Southern Historical
Papers" The Confederate picket line
was stationed On a sandy bottom near
a creek.
John Ford. one of the men on duty,
was very plucky. He was seated near
an uproOted tree and could be plainly
seen by al his company. Suddenly

the sand about four feet from him.

John took in the situation at
glance. He argued to himself that the
shell would burst before he could get
up and run away, SO that the safest
thing he could do would be to get into
the ground as fast as possible With
the utmost rapidity he began to work
down into the sand with hands, feet

The explosion came with a tremen-

sent hundreds OF pieces of iron singing

breath. expecting to see poor John

and dust blew away, it was seen that
Ford's head was still on his shoulders.
He looked cautiously up and, seeing all
was right. sang out a hearty who

MUSIC.
FOLK-S0NG AND ART-MUSIC.

In execution Of his purpose to make this seasons
series OF Symphony Concerts for Young People
illustrative of the influence which folk-song has
had on symphonic music, Dr. Frank Damrosch de-
voted the first concert, in Carnegie Hall yesterday
afternoon, to the German school. Incidentally the
concert disclosed the method which is TO be fol-
lowed. DR.. Damrosch in some remarks flor which
he apologized as being disturbing to enjoyment at
a musical entertaInment) discoursed upon the nat
ure and characteristics of the fok-song proper
g. e., the song created 'of the people by the peo-
pie for the peOpIe'-as he might have saidO and
the song created by the musician which hits popu-
lar chord and is adopted by a whole people as an
appropriate expression. Both species OF song had
been instrumental the creation OF artistic music
and had, in especial tended toward the creation OF
simple, direct and sincere melody. He explained
that he had chosen his illustrative examples from
compositions in which this influence was shown
rather than from those which quoted folk-tUnes
literally. Two of them Beethoven's first
pianoforte concerto, in C major. the solo part OF
which was played by Rudolph CAM in the rondo-
finale, of which there IS phrase like unto the
opening phrase of the song. "Zu Mantua in Ban
dem" The parallel was rather far fetched. as was
that also which associated the finale Of Brahmss
c minor symphony (the composition in which the
short sighted are always finding resemblance to
the Joy melody of Beethoven's ninth symphony
with the song beginning Itch hab mich ergeben''i
but both illustrations served to make the lecturing
conductors point clear. The opening number OF the
programme the movement from a Haydn quar-
tet containing variations the melody which is
become the national hymn Of Austria, "Gott
erhate Franz den Kaiser" To show the persist
ence OF popular musical idioms. Dr. Damrosch
brought forward the characteristics phrase OF the
air 1t has been found in a manuscript OF the
fourteenth century. and also a Croatian song
which, since Haydn was familiar with the music
OF the Croats. may have haunted his mind when
he wrote his immortal song. This song and q
number OF German folk-songs were sung by Mms.
