BY S. J. HOW. CLEAKFIELD, PA., WEDNESDAY, JUNE 23, 1869. VOL 15.-NO. 42. THE OATgARMONIOOff. An Oridaal Concert- Western Music Forty Years Ago. The St Louis Democrat says: While tfie St Louis Philharmonic and other simi lar societies are djing much to improve mu sical taste and i-kill, it may be well to col lect anJ preserve records of efforts in the same Hue by the ;ast generation, to show the struggles of musieal genius in the earli er Jays of the West, and to prove that long before the Dutch, with their brass bands, tooquored the country, there were untutor ed Americans who were filled with musical inspiration, and who only lacked the oppor tunity to astonish the world with their achievements We will, therefore, try to rescue from oblivioa the history of one of the most original attempts . ever made in the musical line one that produeed a re-ni-rtable sensation from Pittsburgh to New Orleans, at least in steamboat circles. Among the citizens of Cincinnati, some forty years ago, there was one named (Cur tis we forget his initials a guilder by rrade, and a genius in his way, but that way ran in the line of mirthfulncss rather than money-making. Of course, he was poor. iJ the reader ever sed a merry rich man ? IJut he was none the less popular among hi. special fiiends, the steaiuboatmen, who never emploped any other to guild their picture frames or"horns," which the fxst est boat was always allowed to carry on her pilot house. Oar hero was not at all contented with his poverty, and many and original were the plans he formed to to mend his fortune, lie was an observing man. too, and had not failed to notice how often fortunes were made out of things apporently trifling, lie inniwd particularly how easy money was acquired by musicians, singers, concerts, and all that sort of thing, and he believed he could get np something ot the kind that would please the public and pay well, tho' in truth he know uo more than a mule about fiats and sharps, minimiins and qnavcrs. lUt he had a big crochet in his head and determined to work it out. Living near ''Western Ruw" where cats a!mnded, Curtis did not lack opportuni ties to study thi musical capacity of the fe line race. They had kept him awake ma ny a warm moonlight night when he pre fered leep to their infernal serenades. So lie determined to get up a grand I'liilliar nionic concert, in which cats should uke a prominent art, and it he failed to make either uib.4c or money, he would at lea.-t have the satisiactiju f having some fun oat of it. Taking a few cats to -experiment on he tried various mokes of bringing out the notes tkeywer? a I dieted to, or excelled in. li-pinched -their cars, twisted their legs, otuck imhs in their their rotundities, and "! other pleasant kevices to dovelope the mssie. But he found no way go certain of bringing ouuliesoune as the application of th UwA of a case knife across the tail. This iwver failed to elicit the note if there was iny tallant at- all in the animal the modu lations piano and forte, being easily obtain ed by making the blow ligha or heavy- This remarkable discovery Curtis believed might be so uiaaged as to make him a for tune eijiial to N'ick Longworth's or any oth i man's. So up he goes next morning, af ter he had matured his plan, to Columbia market, and enquired of every man, woman nl toy he met if they had any cats at home i spare. Of course they had lots of them, nd Wtore long he had more brought to iiffl than he supposed could be found in JkaJti.n county. lie had employed an k'gii'lmiaii named Johnson, a drinking fel '", but mu.iical wilhal, and who could l'ii.Jorai., to make oai to serve as an ac citiif aniiiitnt to the cat voices. Johnson '"turuie l him that one of six octaves would Jo, at least for the experiment Curtis reck uo up the octaves and found that four ilea cat would fill the bilL But he order "1 twj iezen more, for fear that some niSdt Lave defective voices, or prove ob--nin.it.' oi capricious, like the operatic tribe general)-. Six dozen teen were ordered, 4 aecii::niudations prepared for thciu iu sundry hoses, barrels, keg, Ac., in the yard. Hut, bless your soul! six doz-ien-:i..wiiere. All the boys in all the w-nties around, in Kentucky . as well as ytio, heard of this unprecedented demand hue a:i:nuls, and every market day lots ftVn, nii.'ht be seen with baskets and " wei.disg their way to Western Row.to M ' .,uartr" or "half dollar," the 'nee Uu.-tis established for kits and cats, a Itrsiie. In a month or less his six dozen Wl nude up, comprizing every age, size, xnle,,)r- Curtis then published that . e fall complement, he could not , tke -'vs came on, in almost unbroken and finding "no .sale," incontinently the cats down at his doon, whence T scattered up alleys, down cellars, over s ' f"'1 int0 Joors' as Curtis of"ten M j, ,," ' l" uumoe'' of six hundred and sometimes ac"ded thousands, hosou Wcnt on with the building 0f l,' or?n and the adaption of the extra tde keys to the cat's tails. He arranged toe ingers should be confined in nar J boxes, which, while they allowed free to the lungs, guarded against clawing having four holes in the bottom througt the less protruded. The tails were jweJin tubes provided with longitudi nal slots We nte to be scientific and pre e in description across which the blado Js worked. These 'extra keys were con th i 30mell0w with those of the organ, eo -V.'i yi aut their appropriate voices -"jii l be in perfect unison, and thus pro duce as the inventor expected, that "concord of sweet sounds," that rapturous harmony which is said to constitute the language of angels and so forth. Curtis, on his part, proceeded with the musical education of the cat., aided occa sionally by Johnson, and in a month or so he had a complete choir, from the kitten of two months, his trebles and falsettos, and his pussy sopranos, up to the venerable toins, who growled out double base equal to Carl Formes. His greatest trouble arose from the prodi gious number of torn cats turned loose by those reckless boys. As might have been expected in that immortal city, they soon became dissipated vagabonds, keeping late hours, visiting Curtis' musical family with out, leave, and drawing away the thoughts of the younger ones from their professional studies. But at length the organ was completed, and the f.ix octaves of cats arranged in due order. A few rehersals were given before a select audience of critics mates, piIots,ctc., from the steamboats in port, and those were willing to make affidavit, if necessary, that such a concert had never been arranged since the days of Handel, Orpheus or Tubal Cain. The second story of a warehouse near the landing was rented a stage,drop sccne,ar,d tiers of seats provided the whole intended to accomodate four or five hundred people. The organ and cats were safely transported to the place of exhibition or performance without accident, save that the two prin ciple bassos, being accidentally put in the same box, had an awful fight all the way up from Western How, and were obliged to appear before the public with very rueful faces and bloody noses, which, however,did not at all detract from their popularity. Everything being in readiness, Curtis had flaming posters stuck up all about the le vee, displaying in huge letters : CURTIS' CATHARMONICON ! Grand Vocal ami Instrumental Concert. FORTY-EIGHT CATS, ETC. ETC. The house was crowded at an early hour by the jolly boatmen, the spaces not big enough for men Icing fil'e 1, as usual, by boys, the omnipresent imps, who are always on hand when there is promise of noise, fun or mischief. After the usual delay, which elicited from the audience any amount of stamping, whistling, and imitation cater wauling, the curtain rose, and the grand cat- harmonicon was disclosed to view .. Two rows of cat he ids, two dozen each, glared with their hsstrous green and yellow eyes straight at the audience. Little ruffles were around their necks ; miniature music stands, with books and candles, were placed before them ; the aforesaid two bassos, whose beau ty was spoiled bvthe fight, being provided with muslin bands, which added to the gravity of thci'rkcountcn:ince. The whole was indescribably conite, and was received with due applause. Seated at the organ was Johnson, in a clean shirt, and as sober as he could afford to be on so grand an occa sion. As soon as he could be heird, Curtis advanced and stated to the audience that the first song of the evening would be "AuM Lang Syne," or, as he pronounced it, "Old Long Zion," which would be fol lowed by "Hail Columbia," "Clarde Kitch en," and other patriotic and devotional ongs. Johnson squared himself for the task, ran his fingers tenderly over the keys by way of prelude, and then dashed boldly and vigorously into "Old Long Zion," pro ducing such a burst of music as was never heard on this continent before, nor ever will be again till another Curtis arises to carry into more successful execution bis brilliant experiment. " The cats were excited to fury in the presence of the new and uproarious audience, and still more under the unusual ly severe pounding of their tails. They for got all the lessons they had been taught, they paid no attention to their parts, to either tithe or tune, rhyme or reason, but squalled and mewed, yelled, spit and phiz zed in the very madness of pain and terror, drowuing the sound of the organ, which could be heard occasionally droning out "Old Lang Zion," iu the rear of the unearthly tornado of caterwauling. Never was an au dience so completely enchanted never was delight so unusual, so unbounded and so vig orously expressed. Shouts, roars, yells of laughter, such as Western men alone can give, burst from the ciowd, shaking the building from roof to foundation. Curtis was delighted the cats were furious John son was beside himself with joy, and ham mered away at the keys with all his strength making, with the aid of the, choir, and the plaudits of the audience, a "concord" of diabolical sounds never heard before on this side of the infernal regions. 'Unfortunately in his delirium he forgot the strength or weakness of the bellows which supplied the organ with wind, and which he worked with his foot. lie had not reached the end of the song when the leather gave way and brought the performance to a sudden close, the cats alone continued the song or noise till one after another they became silent,and stood winking and blinking at the specta tors, in mute fear of a recommencement of the torture. Curtis now approached, and after exam ining the catastrophe, addressed the audi ence: "Gentlemen," said he "the biler I mean the bellows is busted, and the concert can't go ahead to-night; To morrow I'll have the bellows mended ud give another concert, introducing choice classical songs melodies, . etc Anybody that wants his money back to-night " here he was interrupted with "No, no," "Hurrah for Curtis 1" "Never mind the organ !" "Go ahead oa the wt? I" "Give us Old Hundred with the varia tions I" and a storm of similar exclamations accompanied with shouting, stamping, whis tling and cat-calling, Curtis all the time standing, twirling his hat and trying to be heard. A stentorian voice shouted, "Three cheers for Curtis," which were given in earnest, and literally brought down the house, or rather the staging on which the audience sat and stood. It fell with a crash luckily doing no further harm than the breaking of a few shins. A moment's si lence followed and then another outburst of laughter, mingled with swearing and blows, which soon became one of those free fights such as ended most public gatherings, stump speakings, camp meeting, etc., in those primitive and happy days. The boys now began to pelt the cats with broken benches. and Curtis, fearing for the safety of his pets and unable to remove them bodily from the sjene of danger, lifted off the upper planks which confined their necks in their plaees and set them -at libertv. The terror-strick ed creatures darted away in every direction, mostly among the feet of the spectators, adding to the confusion. Whoops, yells, hurrahs, and shouts were followed by a gen eral smash up of benches and windows. The boys running down the stairs raised the cry of "fire!" Citizens and watchmen crowded the streets to learn the cause of the uproar, and the engines found difficulty in getting near enough to perform their part of the work. There was no sight of fire, not even of smoke, but the old "Liberty Jo. 2 could not afford to come all the way down there for nothing, so she jjoured a deluge of fresh water through the front window, drenching the whole crowd inside to the skin in half a minute. Peace was restored instantly, and the late belligerents came rushing and tumbling pell mell down the stairs. The watchmen finding that there was more laughing than cursing, and that no one had received any worse hurt than a black eye or a bloody nose, let them all go without making any arrests. Thus ended Curtis' grand cat concert, an event that was talked of and laughed over for many years by the jolly boatman of the Ohio. Its projector was ordered to appear before the Maor next morning and explain the cause of the riot, aud it is said his hon or burst off some of his buttons laughing at Curtis' description of the same. He was let off with the admonition to do so no more, aud he didn't. He went back to his work shop next day a wiser man, and soon for got his disappointment, in some new scheme which his active brain hatched out a flying machine or something of the kind. But to his dying day he avowed that, but for the bursting of his bellows, his catharmonicou would have made him the richest man in Cincinnati. Extraordinary Surgical 0se. The Russian River (Cal.) Flag gives the particulars of the remarkable recovery of AL-. 13. F Chase, foreman of a mill in Men dociuo county, from an apparently deadly wound. It appears that in July, 1804, Mr. Chase was doing some work under a picket saw, which was running at a great speed, when inadvertantly raising his head against the saw he received a cut beginning at the the frontal bone ene half inch above the nose, and running back to the occipital bone. Dr. A. C. Foisom was called, but at first thought it was useless to dress the wound, believing that thev man would die in a few niinut.es bat Mr. Chase being per fectly concious and free from pain, he cos eluded to attempt a careful dressing, en couraged Bomewha he says, by remember ing the case of a man in Vermont who had a tamping iron blown through his head and recovered therefrom. The cut gaped open so that the skull bones were a full inch apart. Dr. Foisom estimated that the brain was cut nearly to its base, or fully three iuches deep. He inserted a pocket rule an inch and a half. Ha carefully re moved all fragments of skull taking out over thirty pieces and washed out the saw dust that had got into the opening, using warm water to produce hemorrhage, which was slight for so extensive a wound. He also washed out more than a table spoonful of brain. How much more the saw carried away one can only conjecture. The doctor then shaved the scalp, applied a tourniquet to bring the bones together, and closed the apperture with six stitches, finishing with adhesive plaster and leaving three openings." The only dressing ever used was cold wa ter. The patient was in full possession of his faculties during the whole time, and said he experienced no pain then or afterward un til he was entirely recovered. He visited the mill about four weeks after the accident, and soon after resumed his duties as filer and foreman, which position he still holds. He says he never lost sleep or appetite, or experienced any physical or mental pain or weakness from his wound. The doctor's theory for this wonderful case is that the wound was a clean cut, unaccompanied by concussion, and that it is usually the con cussion and not the iocissibn of the brain that causes death. Believing for a year or two that the patient would die of the injury, Dr. F. did not seud any statement of the case to the medical journals. Mr. Chase now seems to have as long a lease of his life as anybody else. "What do you think of whiskey, Dr. Johnson ?" hiccupped Boswell, after empty ing a sixth tumbler of toddy. "Sir," said the doctor, "it penetrates my rcry soul like the small still voice conscience ; and doubt less the worm of the still is the worm that never dies," A Tonching Incident. . We have never read a more touching in cident than the following which occurred a short time since in one of the French courts The natural nobility of the brother and the affectionate faith of the sister, are exam ples to be followed by the unfortunate youth of our own. or any other country, and an ev idence, however dark the day, an 'honest heart and a firm resolve will overcome the greatest obstacles. A French paper says that Lucille Rouen, a pretty girl, with blue eyes and fair hair poorly but neatly cad, wasl brought before the Sixth Court of Correction under the charge ot vagrancy. "Does any one claim you?" asked the magistrate. "Oh, my good sir," said she, "I have no longer any friends; my father and mother are dead.and I have only my brother James, but he is as young as I am. O, sir, what can he do for me ?" "The court must send you to the house of correction." "Here I am sister,here I am. do not fear," cried a childish voice from the other end of the court, and at the same instant a little boy, with a' lively couQtenance.started forth from amid the crowd and stood before the judge. "Who are you ?" said he. "James Rouen, the brother of this poor little girl." "Your age?" "Thirteen?" 'And what do you want?" "1 come to claim my Lucille." "But have you the means of providing for her?" "Yesterday I had none ; but I have now. Don't be afraid." "Oh, how good you are, James." "Well, let us see, my boy," said the ma gistrate; "the court is disposed to do all that it can. for your sister ; but you must give us some explanation."' "About a fortnight ago, sir," said the boy, "my poor mother died of a bad cough, for it was cold at home. Wc were in great trou ble. Then said I to myself, I will become an artisan, and when I know a good trade, I will support my sister. I went appren tice to a brush maker. Every day I used to carry her half of my dinner, and at night I took her secretly to my room, and she slept on the bed while I slept ou the floor. But it appears that she had not enough to cat. One day she begged on the boulevard and was taken up." ' When I heard that, I said to myself, 'Come my boy, things cannot last so; you must fiud something better.' I soon found a good placc,where I am fed and clothed and have twenty francs a month. I have also found a good woman, who, for these twenty fiancs,will take care of Lucille and teach her needlework. I claim my sis ter." "My boy." said the judge, "your con duct is very honorable. However, your sister cannot be set at liberty untill to-morrow." "Never mind, Lucille," said the boy, "I will come and fetch you early to-morrow," then turning to the magistrate he said, "I may kiss her, may I not, sir?" He then threw himself into his sister's, arms and both wept fond tears of affection. Woman's Grave. ---I can pass by the tomb of a man with somewhat of a calm in difference ; but when I survey the grave of a female, a sigh involuntarily escapes njc. With the holy name of woman I associate every soft, tender, and delicate affection. I think of her as the young and bashful vir gin, with eyes sparkling, and cheeks crim soned with each feeling of the heart ; as the chaste and virtuous matron, tired with the follies of the world,' and prepa ing for the grave, to which she must soon descend. Oh, there ia something in contemplating the character of a woman that raises the soul far above the level of society. She is form ed to adorn and humanize man, to soothe his cares and strew his path with flowers. In the hour of distress she is the rock on which he leaos for support, and when fate calls him from existence, her tears bedew hi grave. Can you look upon her grave with out emotion ? Man has always justice done to his memory ; woman never. The pages of history lie open to one ; but the meek and unobtrusive excellencies of the other sleep with her unnoticed in the irrave. In her may have shone the genius of a poet with the virtues of a saint. She, too, may iave passed along the sterile path tf exis tence, and felt for others as I now feci tor her. A Love of Letters. "Crafty men contemn studies.simple men admire them, and wise men use them,"says Lord Bacon. The Chinese cau hardly be reckoned in the first of these classs. So great is their reverence for everything writ ten or printed, that they take the greatest pains to prevent the least scrap, whether a favorite poem or. a school-boy's copy-book, from being trampled upon, or in any way treated with disrespect. Persons are hired to go about the streets and into the shops and houses to gather everything of the kind that can be seen. Baskets, too, with the inscription, "Respect printed paper," are placed by the roadside to receive these rev ered scraps. This paper when a large quantity has been collected, is burned, and the ashes are carried out to sea and thrown overboard. This reverence for written and printed characters is now carried out so far that an attempt has been made to prevent the use of inscriptions on China ware, be cause so little regard is paid to broken crock ery. The authorities have also forbidden tfie woiking of Chinese hitters in embroidery. Thb Old Hymns. 5"anny Foro asks Did you ever know any person who was brought up on the good old lion hymns, whom they ever failed to move te the found ations when heard ? The feet moving on ho ly errands linger on their way past the church door, as the melody floats out upon the night air. That man who has wasted life, and en ergy, and talent which might have blessed mankind, to reap only the whirlwind he is back again with his little head upon his mother's lap while she sings that same hymn which will never grow old, about "the beautiful river." His eyes moisten as he thinks hew pained she would be, were she living, to know him now; the hymn ceases and the low benediction follows, and as the worshipers emerge he recollects himself, and with an impatient "pshaw" ! passes on. What 1 he moved at a "conventicle hymn !" he, who for years has never crossed the threshold of a church ? He who believes neither in prayers nor priests, Bible nor Sundays! He who has "outgrown all that !" Ah! but he hasn't, he can't outgrow it it is there. It will come, whether he de sires it or not. Come in spite of all his ef forts to laugh or reason it away. Come though he. live in open derision and mock ery of that religion whose divine precepts he cannot efface from his mind. Come as it did to John Randolph, who, after years of atheism, and worldliness, aud ambition, left on record that "the only men he ever knew well and approached closely whom he did not discover to be unhappy, were sincere believers of the gospel, who conformed their lives, as far as the nature of man can per mit, to its precepts." "Often," he says, "the religion of his childhood was banished wholly by business or pleasure ; but after a while they came more frequently, and staid longer, until at last they were his first tho'ts on waking, and his last before going to sleep." Said he "I could not banish them if I would." The Union of Languages. We have more than onee referred to the tendency towards the adoption of a common language. Every year it becomes more marked. The ease and rapidity of travel which tend so much to the mingling of dif ferent nationalities.betwecn whom some in tercourse must be maintained, either di rectly by the acquisition of each others dia lect, or through interpreters, is fast making that language prevail which moot largely represents the world's activities. Who, then, arc the great travellers of the world ? Are not the English, the Scotch, the Ameri can, found everywhere? All these speak a common dialect. America may be claimed as wholy English as to language. In all European cities the knowledge of it is a mer cantile and social necessity. The language of India and Australia is English. The swarms of men and women from Germany and other European kingdoms to America all learn the English language in a year or more after their arrival. Many of these re turn to the fatherland and swell the increas ing number of those who speak the Saxon idiom.. It is the most widelv spoken lan guage on the globe. In compactness, in scope, in capacity of definite etpression. in expressiveness, it is, with the aid of Latin, the king of dialects. Potential among these unifie agencies is the telegraph, by which the nations are placed pracitcally together. To use it suc cessfully, the language employed must be terse, definite, clear. " This is needed by considerations ot time and economy. Words arc wanted which express a whole definite idea, which need no adjective or descriptive accompanying index. For this the Saxon stands pre-eminent. No language can so tersely convey a thought, an order, a desire. as that which, in our conception, is the ba sis and beauty and power of the English language. It is a carious circumstance, illustrative of what we have just written, that on the continent, not a few use the English lan guago in their messages by telegraph, even where a foreign tongue pre vails, because of this ability to condense language, increase its clarity and diminish its cost in transmis sion; Language is the manifestation of hu man thoughts and feeling by articulate sounds. In the use of the telegraph that language which utters most in a single word must prevail. The simple word "fire V ut tered by a frightened woman, sets all the bells of the metropolis in fiercest clang as soon sputtered. It is words like these that commerce will use to express its wants. They will be words recognized everywhere, in Pekin, as at Marseilles, in St. Peters burg as at New York. Commerce will forge language, which the hunt for gold, and the energy of enterprise, will sooner or later establish as this idiom of the world. Of course it will take time, but mark how rapidiy the Saxon tongue spreads. We be lieve that 100 yearswiu not pass away be fore a traveler will need no other language to interpret his thoughts in any town open to commerce in any quarter of the earth. Inside of our Western civilation there are certain marked tendencies the result of which cannot fail to be a gain to Christiani ty and the world. From a variety of causes, all of which are inactive operation, nations are becoming fewer but larger. The lesser are gradually being absorbed by the greater. Language is following a similar law,and ev idence is not wanting to convince us tht this tendency is destined to become even more a characteristic of the future than it is of the present. A common nationality and a common language for all mankind is do longer an impossible dream. In proportion as this is realised so win the conquering forces of Christianity be multiplied and so will Us success be secured. lne .race will be to the swift and the battle will be to the strong; and in this great future the Uni ted istates, the second home ot the En glish tongue, will play a conspicuous part.
