A curious story is told as to how the Rothschilds - supported Carafa, the composer, The latter was far from rich. His principal income was de- rived from a snuff-box. And this was the way of it: The snuff-box was given to the author of “La Prison d’Bdinbourgh,” about 30 years ago, by Baron James de Rothschild, as a token of esteem. Carafa sold it, 24 hours later, for 75 napoleons to the same jeweler from whom it had been bought. This became known to Roths- | child, who gave it again to the mu- sician on the following year.

Send an- pther next boat.” This message was received recently by a local piano house from an “up-the-river” purchas er whose $500 instrument had been forwarded via Mississippi river pteamboat. In its usual pine box the piano was installed on the lower deck next to a lanky, sleepy looking mule bound for the cotton fields of the ppper bends. Although provided with plenty of oats and hay, the mule ripped off a portion of the outer box, disposing of six octaves of black and white ivory keys, running the chro- matic scale up to “G” in the treble clef. He had gnawed away the ma- bogany panels in front, masticated felt dampers and hammers by the dozen, completely wrecking the melodious “insides” of the instrument. Steam- boat Bill, stoking a boiler twenty feet pway, said the mule “must have had his foot on the soft pedal,” as he did not hear a note. When discovered the pnimal was unconcernedly gazing longingly across the river at a grass covered levee.

Montenegro has a law ordaining that any found valuable shall be placed where the loser can find it. The fact suggests an anecdote told of Garibaldi’s grandfather in Dickens’ life of the famous clown. On one of his visits to Leadenhall market with nearly $2,000 in gold and silver upon him, “he found that his shoe had be- come unbuckled. and taking from his pocket the bag, he placed it upon a neighboring post, and then proceeded to adjust his buckle.” Having after- ward to pay for a purchase, he missed his bag of gold, and hurried back to the post where he had buckled his shoe. Although more than three- quarters of an hour had elapsed . . . there it remained safe and un- touched on the top of a post in the open street!” That was in eighteenth century London.
