While in Philadelphia one day last week the editor of this paper had the pleasure ot calling on Prof. James C. Backel, at 917 Sansotn street. It was many years ago that we first became acquainted with him. In 1863 he resided iu German town, and was the organist of Christ Church, and conducted large classes in vocal and instrumental music. He was a musician by profession, and thoroughly in love with his calling. A master of music,he im bibed his enthusiasm from his teacher, Signor Phil Trajetta. For two years the writer was the pupil of Prof. Beckel, taking lessons on the piano and pipe organ, and during that time he learned to re gard him with an affection that has never abated. We found this lovable old man, now in his ninetieth year, still at work, composing, publish ing, and arranging music, every day at his desk. His musical works are numerous and well known, and his compositions in many lines, vocal and instrumental, secular and sacred, are many. It is now thirty eight years since we first knew hituk in our boyhood days, when the civil war was in progress. He was a patriot, and gave several sons to his country. At his advanced age he still retains his faculties, and is as active as a man of sixty. It was a great pleasure to meet him again, and it brought back to us many pleasant recollections. , Don't forget, we are leaders in fashion. Ben Gidding.
