AN ODDLY BOUGHT VIOLIN.
Novel Payments for Costly Instru.
ment Sold Two Centuries Aoo.

Novel Payments for Costly Instru.
ment Sold Two Centuries Ago.
One of the most costly violins in the
world was sold at the end of the 18th
century for $6,00O,under most curious
circumstances, says the London Mail.
German count entertained at his
castle Emperor Charles VI, King Fred
erick William of Prussia, and other
princes of high and low degree, such
as flooded Germany in those days. For
their pleasure he had arranged vio-
lin concerts by two of the finest must
cians-Faustino and Mauro Alessi.
Alessi played on a wonderful instu-
ment so exquisitely that he moved the
count to tears. After the first concert
the count determined that he must have
the Cremona for his own private use.
He offered fabulous sums for it, but
Alessi said he would sooner sell his
life, and so the negotiations came to
naught
The rumor of the counts attempt to
get the Cremona went abroad, and
some weeks later an unknown old man
appeared at the castle with worn
and shabby violin case under his arm.
The servants refused to admit him.
Tell your MASTER he said to them,
that heavens music is waiting at his
door,"
The count received him. The old man
drew from the unworthy case a perfect
instrument, the work of Jacob Stain
er's own hand, and played it so mar
velously that the count and his people
forgot all about the Cremona The old
man was willing to let his instrument
go on the condition that he might pass
the rest of his life near it and play it
once daily. The haggling as to the
price lasted two weeks, at the end of
which the count got the Stainer by
agreeing to give the old man $3.50 in
money at once, free food and shelter for
life, free light and wood, one new suit
of clothes annually, one-half bushel of
wheat, and twelve shillings monthly.
all the hares he could eat, a measure of
wine daily, and two huge barrels of
beer every year.
The old man lived almost twenty
years after having made the contract,
playing almost daily on his adored in
strument before the count, and con-
sumed fully $4,000 worth of the co.lnt's
money and provisions. His violin is
still preserved intact 1t was last
played in 1854, at the marriage of the
Emperor Francis Joseph OF Austria.
