In fact I had to stop to assure myself that it was the real Rubinstein we were to visit.So this + afternoon we started off for the Hotel where i be is living here.We were ushered into a large room, where the first thing we saw was ; of course Kubinstein's massive head \u2014and ; hair.He was sitting at his desk writing | music, perhaps, poor man : composing\u2014 ! wl we prosaic mortals were introduced.He groeted his old whist friend, Frau., , very cordially, and we were presented to him.I: was a large comfortably furnished ! room, with at one end a large pictare which i looked as if it might be a valuable present ; | under it was the piano ; pear the piano the desk ronnd which we three sat.Frau.,, plu into busines at once by explainin, that Fraulein J.was a countrywoman of bers, very musical, and anxious to appear as soom as possible as concert player ; asked him to hear her and give bis criticism.te fod naturedly consented and waived ber to the piano.As she does pot know what > (nerv ) is, she went and played simply snd natarally something from Mennu.He was not quite satisfied with that snd plaoged her into perplexity by ask- img what uhe called the piece she bad p ayed \u2014lyrisch, dramatisch, heroisch, &c.She was very much taken aback, and answered \u2014 \u2014wrong.However, he was very kind about it and asked for something else, with which she succeeded much better, and he cone descended 10 say, \u2018sehr hubech\u2019 (ver petr ) She was very cool and played well.le gave her some advice, and told her she must do as other Kunatiers had to do-begin by giving a concert in Berlin in the fall, and ,90 08.Bhe was delighted to hear that he seemed to think she might do so soon.He pointed out some mistakes in her rewderings, and then Fran.besought him in her most winging way to play her something, as she might never have the opportunity of heariog him ; told him that she couldn't sleep if she actually had been with Rubinstein and not heard him play.Whereapon the Fa master anawered drily that if she slept ly aster hearing him play, he would understand it er !! He best about the bush fur a little while, ce-ite E \u2018Ich kaun pichts ; ich kann wuhrhaftig nichts\u2019 (I can do nothing, I can truly do notning) ; Grally sauntered to the piano and sat down, his last words before be struck into a few strong chorde being a final protesting \u2018Ich kaon wirklich michte.\u2019 Then we had a quarter of an hour's enjoyment.He played a barcarolle and another thing by himeell, They were really won ler.The feeling watching Rubinstein play, was certainly, as bas so often heen said, that ho uses the piano as a plaything.When he plays slowly, he looks as if he were just trying the notes for amusement to see how \u2018it would sound; and when fast, as if his fiogers were just amusing themselves racing each other ; and then if you Jook away you lose that feeling altogether and hear the whole tion, forget ing «nits about the fingers.It was wonderfal, certainly\u2014no banging, or making the piano shiver! That, to be sure, Was not necessary for what he was playiog, but they say he has changed somewhat in later years.\u201cWhen he had finished he lookel at us, with a \u2018now,\u2019 as much as tosay \u2018Well, are you satisfied?\u201d and cams back to hinchair and turned on me with a sta tling, \u2018Konnen wie was?(Can do anything?)

the rescue of the exploring y which was iminored for nearly ten days in the Logloch cavern in Austria show that the unfortunate prisoners would have perished if a box of provisions had not been lowered to them with a rope.They had exhausted their supply of candles and foxd, and were rapidly succumbing to faininess and weakness, when one of the party heard a noise at the flooded entrance of the cave.He waded out and found a rope, and, after pulling up several branches of trees, saw a box with the lid pressed in.It contained rolls soft-ned with water, sausages »nd twenty twe candles.This supply of provisions, which vas lowered at a venture nesr the mouth of the cave, kept them alive until the diver appeared and effected Lbeir rescue.The cave was a newone, and had never been explored.There was rivalry between two exploring societies, and one of them undertook the work when the weather was unfavorable.4 The poor prisoners underground fancied that the other society had stopped up the water course in to deprive them of the honors of discovery.The rival society, however, was foremost in the successful attempt to rescue them.No strong was the ruling passion that the leaders of the party resolved as soon as they were rescued to retorn in a fortoight to the scene of their terrible sufferings.Relics of Marle Antoinette.Some of the very interesting relics of the Marie Antoinette exhibition in Paris (says our correspondent) are the old, worn, black satin shoe that fe] from her foot as she moanted the scaffold; the original sketch made of her by David, as, sitting in the window of Mme.Julien {M.Lockroy\u2019s grandmother), he saw her going in « cart to execution; and the frock in which her son, the Duke of Normandy, who was d to share her imprisonment, was christencd on the Zlst January ; à suit he wore at the age of five, and a little arm chair, the reduction of a throne, are grouped with the baptismal garment.A belt, witha buckle, showed that the span of Marie Antoinctle\u2019s waist was, in 1792, 18) inches, although a blue satin cor- and a white bed-gown give the iden of a full bust.The moat touching relic of all is u prayer book,

as the leader of the rebels expresses it, \u2018\u2018tne attempt of the clergy to run the church into ritualism, and from ritualism into Romanism.\u201d The congrega.| tion was organized only about

(for he was a man of energy\u2019, he embraced Single Tax, and deve- laped into something of a politician in conoec- tion with Henry George's doctrine.At this | new phase, the congregation murmured, sod when the reverend shepherd described himself in all the notices concerning the church as the \u201cpriest in charge,\u201d and announced his » small town in Northamptonshire, a young | intention of introducing the confessional, as doctor named William Paimer.He had been somewhat given to sport, and owed » good deal of money.He married, went to + church regularly every Sunday, and was looked upon as an emicently proper person- \u201cage.Little by little, however, he interested himself again in turf pursuits.He neglected this profession, and eventually became an : owner and breeder of indifferent race horses.| He lost more or less heavily, and being on more than one occasion unable to settle his account st Tattersall s, was eventually refus- j ed admission to those sacred precincts Then » he took to the brandy bottle, with the usaal disastrous consequences.A MURDER SERIES.Palmer bad a mother-in-law, one Mra, Thornton, who had some little money of her own, to which his wife was the only heir, and when, while on a visit to her daughter and her son-in-law, she suddenly died, the little windfall which resulted to the Palmer household came in remarkably handy for settling some of the most pressing liabilities of the master thereof.One of his sporting friends, too, who had won large sams from him, was taken suddenly ill, and, beingat- tended professionally by Palmer, was obliging enough to die.A few months subsequently Palmer became s widower, his grief being somewhat lightened by the fact thet he had videntially insured the poor woman's life For £15,000 8 few mouths before her death.Three montre after his ite death Walter almer passed away while being professionally attended by his brother & who curiously enough, had insured hi for several thousand pounds.This sum, however, the insurance company refused to pay.owing to some irregularities connected with the policy.Meanwhile Palmer's debts began to worry Lim more than ever, and he was forced io resort to a London bill discounter, whe charged him something like sixty per cent per month for accommodation.DID IT ONCE TOD OFTEN.It was while in these circumstances that Palmer found himself in close [riendship with one J.P, Cooke.While he was at the Shrewsbury races with Palmer, staying at the same hotel and occupying the same sitting room, Cooke's horse, \u2018Vole Star,\u201d won a small race, for which he had been entered, and Cooke, who had backed it heavily, found himself with something like £2,000 ip his pocket.At Worcester, the week before, he had won something between seven and eight hundred pounds, which were all to be collected as usual at Tattersall\u2019s on settling day.But Cooke was taken 25 unfortuvately ill that he was Unable to attend to his own business, and Palmer, who was looking after him professionally, travelled up to London, spent the day in town and collected some £3,000 op hiv friend's behalf.He did not mention the fact to (\u2018coke when he retarned.Cooke had recovered slightly during Palmer's absence in town, and owing chiefly to the treatment of a strange doctor, whom he had called in.Palmer, however, recommenced his minietratione, and twenty- four hours later Cooke died in terrible agony.Certain facts which transpired at the inquest lod to the arrest of Falmer, and at the trial, which occupied many days and aronsed the greatest interest throughout England, it was indubitably proved, not only that this young sporting doctor had deliberately poi- soi companion, first with antimony and auberquently with strychnine, in a most cruelly deliberate manner, but had almost as certainly done to death h's mother-in-law, his wife and his brother, in order to profit hy their deaths.need only add that he was executed in Stafford jail in the year 1556.THE FRITCHARD CASE.Some years later another celebrated poisoning case was brought prominently before the public by the arrest and trial on Monday, July 3, 1865, of Dr.Pritchard, » physician holding à respectable position in Glasgow, un the charge of murdering his wife and tnother.in-law.For some time previous to her decease Mrs.Pritchard had been in a delicate state of health, and her mother, Mra.Taylor, hal gone to Glasgow to nurse her.engaged she was seized with illness and died suiklen]y about three wreks previous to the day on which Pritchard was apprehended.Apoplexy was assigned as the cause, and as Mrs.Taylor was about seventy no public attention was awakened.Mrs, Pritchard died shortly after her mother, and a report was circulated that she was cut off by gastric fever.The deaths of the two women occurring within so short an interval of each other coupled with certain hints which they had pe ceived, set the police on the alert, and as the result of their inquiries a warrant was issued.It appears from the notes of the trial that Pritchard had been ad: ring antimony to his unfortunate wife low, deliberate, and deadly manner for a long time before her death.She suffered terribly, her symptoms being those found in antimunial poisoning, viz :\u2014frequent vomiting, retching and severe erampe in the stomach ; in fact, incessant torture night and day, gradually increasing onder the deadily administration of a akilled poisoner.This man was ai the time, and long previously, carrying on sn intrigue with one of his wife's servants.At his trial he preserved his sangfroid to the end, save when the sentence was pronounced, and before being removed bowed deeplyto the jury and the WOMEN WHO CAVE ARSESIC.Some shocking revelations were made during the hearing of the case of \u2018Queen v.FI ntand Higgins,\u201d at the Liverpool As sizes, in February, 1884.Catharine Flsoagan and Margaret Higgins were charged on the following indictment :\u2014First, of murdering Timothy Higgins, the husband of the prisoner, ip October, 1883 ; second for murdering Margaret Jennings, January, 1883 ; third, for murdering John Flanagan, son of the pris- A fourth indictment charged the wo mas Higgins alone with the murder of Mar: Higgins, daughter of Thomas Higgins, by his + first wite.When Money was Hidden.It muet bave been difficult in the Middle Ages for a man of limited mcans Lo take care of his savings.There were, it is true, the Lombard and Genoese bankers, who dealt with princes, nobles, bishops, and the abbots of the greater monasteries, and as time wens on there arose the Sienese-Roman firm of Chagi with its hundred branches, which in later times supplied » Pontiff to the Holy See, who bore the name of Alexander VII.; but ot what service were these great luxury-loving people to the peddier, the yeoman, or the small shopkeeper, whose gains came not in by pounds, angels, or marks, but in penny driblets, with perhaps\u2019 an odd frost of profit on a very successful venture ?How was their money stored ?In some cases we suspeut that the churchwarden took care of itin the parish chest, though if put to the proof of what we say we should not be very ready with an answer, but it ie quite certain that as years rolled on, and guilds spraog up in every village, they acted as bankers for the guild men.But there must have been many persons who belonged to no guild, some because they were of loose life and such as no guild would enrol, others be cause Lhey were not on good terms with the aldermen, or because they were landless fulk who had no seutled place of abide.Tt was dangerous Lo carry specie on the person in these days.There were many Robin Hoods abroad, who had no sccuples an to robbing the poor as well as the rich.To the wesk the only course that was open, if they could not deposit their coin ia the hands of some trustworthy peighbor, was to bury it in the earth, This is the explanation of the numerous hoards of coin which have turned up from time to time from the thirteenth ceutury to the present day.\u2014 The Atherirum.\u201cWeel, friends,\u201d said a Scottish clergyman recently, \u201cthe kirk

Episcolisnism, the murmurs became threats aud Bsurrection was in the air, The \u2018priest\u2019 decided to flee, pot from the wrath to come, but FROM THE WRATH AT HANDY, and he accordingly acknowledged himself called to accept an English parish.Last Wednesday he took his departure, and the following morning the local papers contained advertisements calling a necting of the bereaved

Com fessed to a Fire, and is Now in Gaol.NewcasTLE, N.B., May 21\u2014During this last two years frequent fires occurred in the town, comprising a warehonse, retail store, : three dwelling houses, two school-houses, and two barns.The tires always occurred at night.| All of the buildings wera unoccupied and at different times in the above period they were \u2018 burned to the ground.Up to Naturday night last no evidence to convict the incendiary perpetrators was forthcoming, although strong suspicion was entertained against certain characters in the town.One of gang concerned in these transactions recently joined the Salvation Army and his crimes so worked upon that he had no peace, an-l at last he confessed to the leader of the : Salvation Army here that he, with several | others, were the parties that set tiretothe buildings.Tie leader of the Army, after consultation with some friends, disclosed to the authorities the facta with the cunsent of t criminal himself, und the latter wan once committed to prison, He has since disclosed the names of hia associates in the crimes, and this ning two more of the gung were arrested, aud the tiree are now; confined in gaol to await their examinations, when it is expected that fall disclosures will be made.The informer, who professes to be inspired by a desire to ease h conscience with no desire to conceal the facts aa regards his own participation, hesitated about giving the names of the otner incendiaries, but he at lest, on being told by the | leader of the Army that a full disclosure was necessary, made a full
