The most celebrated makers of violins have hren tho Amatis. btaiuers. aud the two Btradua rms. But few narticulars have beeu handed dnwn to us resnectiug them: nor is thla sur- firising, considering that their celebrity Is owing n a sreat decree to time, by which alone their nmiWa imvo hr on hroualit to neriection. An Amati Is a phrase oiten in me mourns 01 amateurs, without their beiug, perhaps, aware tbat there were lour aiskers ol that nftme, viz: -Andrew, the father; JeiOiTio and Anthony, his sons, and Nicholas, Antuonj's eon. Tue hand somest Amatis are those maJe by Jerome. All these individuals, as well, as the two Btraduartus, belonged to Cremona, aud hence that other phrase, by which, in order to designate a violin of tho first order, it is called a genuine Cremona. Of tbe vlsiole characteristics of the works of these different artists the mom prominent are these: The Btainer violins compared with the Amatis, are hii;h aud narrow, aud the box more conttoed; the eouud boles aie cut more perpendicular, and are shorter: there Is also a kind of notch at tho turn. The fttralUHnus violins are of a larger pattern, particularly those of Antonlus, tbe son, and have a wider box than the Amatis, and longer sound boles, which are cut at tbe mila very shurf and broad, with a little hullo w at the end, which other makers cut flat. The varnish ot the Amati and t-iiainers are yellow, as well as thot-e of 8'raJuaiius the father; tbe eon's varulsh is red. Ot the audible character istics, study ot the oust impnrtuuee, tloutrh frequently a Secondary cousidutulion, generally B takmg the Ama!is have amild an1 sweet tone; tbe htainers, a sharp and piercing toue; aud tho Etraduarius, a rich, full tone.

' Ih following cnrloni custom of the Nestorlan CbiistlantU commended to tho serious atum tfon of the young, gentlemen and yoang ladies of oar country who propose to commit matri mony. After the marriage ceremony has been performed the wadding party is taken in warons from the cbarch to the house ot the bride groom's father. When the second wagon la which the bride Is seated alone, reaches the eate opening into the yard in which the house is tituated, it is halted, and tho bridegroom's mother comes to meet it, with a baby and three suits of baby clothes In her arms. She throws the child and clothes into tbe arms of tbe bride, wbo is required to dress and undress the baby three times In tbe presence ot her mother-in-law, who watches every movement as only a mother-in-law can watch a daughter-in-law. It the newly made bride docs not perform the operation to tbe satisfaction of her severe Judge, she is considered unfit tor her new position, the WMgon Is turned around, and she is taken back Lome for further instruction, and tbe poor bridegroom is compelled to live In single bless edness until his wife is educated up to the proper standard.
