well perhaps as to a choice of the materials from which they were made. To determine the fact as far as possible, and with a view of throwing historical light on the development of Italian violin-making, the directors of the Austrian Exposition of 1873 in Vienna invited the exhibition of instruments of this class, dating from the earliest periods down to the close of the eighteenth century.

A form of the pianoforte patented some thirty years since in England by Todd. It is intended to give the violin tone to the piano-strings by the pressure upon the string of an endless band covered with powdered resin like the bow of a fiddle. This is effected by the procure of the foot of the player upon a pedal, which puts the endless band in motion, and the band is caused to rub against the particular wire, as the key appertainin

in his bearing and looks. I do not think, in his early years, he had any great ambition. That developed itself afterwards. Circumstances and accidents forced him forward to the van, and he became a leader terribly in earnest. He had the same high-mindedness, the same single aim at justice and truth, the same inflexible faith and courage then that ever after characterized him. Mr. Story contributed an In Memoriam tribute to Sumner, in forty-one verses, to Blackwood's Magazine,Zzz Sept., 1874, Vol. CXVI. pp. 342-346. In an address to the students—colored—of Howard University, Washington, D. C., Feb. 3, 1871, Sumner said:— These exercises carry me back to early life, when I was a student of the Law School of Harvard University as you have been students in the Law School of Howard University. I cannot think of those days without fondness. They were the happiest of my life. . . . There is happiness in the acquisition of knowledge, which surpasses all common joys. The s<

after-course of his life and thought. He did, indeed, set himself with determination to his work, but it had lost the charm it formerly had; and the dreams of those delightful days and the echoes of those far voices haunted his memory. America seemed flat to him after Europe. This, however, slowly passed away, though never, to his dying day, completely. This long-cherished friend of Sumner has recalled these early as well as later days in an In Memoriam :— Blackwood's Magazine, Sept., 1874. For years, dear friend, but rarely had we met, Fate in a different path our feet had set; Space stretched between us, yet you still were near, And friendship had no shadows of regret. At least your noble thoughts can never die,— They live to stir and lift humanity,— They live to sweeten life and cheer us on: If they are with us, surely you are nigh. Yes, in our memory, long as sense remains, That stalwart frame shall live, that voice whose strains, To lofty purpose pitched, struck l<

oem reached Cuba while the great explorer lay on his death-bed, and we are told that he listened with grateful tears while it was read to him by his mother. I am tempted to say more, but I write as under the eye of her who, while with us, shrank with painful deprecation from the praise or mention of performances which seemed so far below her ideal of excellence. To those who best knew her, the beloved circle of her intimate friends, I dedicate this slight memorial. J. G. W. Amesbury, 9th mo., 1874.

And he dreams a dream of boyhood; Rise again his heathery hills, Sound again the hound's long baying, Cry of moor-fowl, laugh of rills. Now he stands amidst his clansmen In the low, long banquet-hall, Over grim, ancestral armor Sees the ruddy firelight fall. Once again, with pulses beating, Hears the wandering minstrel tell How Mont

In the year 1869 their increasing number induced the Rev. M. P. Dougherty, pastor of that Church, to organize an independent congregation and build a church edifice for Arlington. This building was used for the first time on Christmas day, 1870. It was not, however, formally dedicated until September, 1874, when it received the title of St. Malachy. Rev. Mr. Dougherty retained charge of the new parish until January 1st, 1873, when the Rev. J. M. Finotti was appointed to succeed him. Under his administration a parochial residence was purchased, and various improvements made in the church. He was assisted by Revs. J. B. Galvin and M. D. Murphy. Continued ill health obliged him in April, 1876, to resign his charge. Mr. Finotti, a native of Italy, was the author of a Bibliographic Catho
