RUSSIAN MUSIC. Tho Topulnr Alr Mostly In Minor Keys Melodies That Influenced llcctlioveii nnd Chopin Queer Instruments. Russia lias so distinct an individuali ty among the nations, says St. James's Gazette, that ono naturally c.pcct3 that its national music should havo a peculiar and interest iig character. Ex pectations of this kind are often disap pointed, but in the case of Kussia they happen to Us fulfilled. Russian music has its characteristic coloring, its gout dc terrain things not easily to bo de scribed; and it has also a general char acter less diilicult of definition. Rus sian music is, as a wholo, melancholy, and much of it is marked, at tho same 'time, by an unusual degreo of earnest ness and elevation. Ono might apply to it the words Gilbert White uses in speaking of tho song of the blackcap: It is full, sweet, deep, and wild. Yet its melancholy is relieved, too, by out bursts of a sparkling sprightliucss and un unrestrained gayoty. Tho Russian popular airs arc notice able as those of Norway, of Finland, and of Hungary for being mostly in minor keys; other European nations having favored tho major mode tho Hermans so much so, indeed, that there arc only 2 per cent, of minor tunes among their volkstieder. That the minor keys lend themselves readily to tho expression of either tho abandon ment of grief or of joy, according to tho rate of movement with which they are associated, is a commonplace of musical ;esthctics. Karamsin attribut ed this melancholy in Russian music to the sufleiings of Russia under the Mon golian yoke; writers of tho school of AL Taine would point to tho landscape and climate of the country, to the mo notony of tho forest land, and to tho wide, dreary plains, now frozen and now sun-baked. Tho fact is, however, that the Russian is one of tho mos't cheerful of mortals, easily moved to mirth and unwilling to depart from it; nor is there any reason to believo his cheerfulness to be a modern develop ment. The general character of a nation and tho character of its national mu sic havo really but little relation; tho causes which led to tho formation of a national stylo being both numerous and complex in their working. Anoth er point that tho student of i'olk-niusio should not forget is that in Russia, owing to tho comparative isolation of tho Russian "people" from the cur rents of civilization, tho popular music has not been much adulterated and iu llenccd by modern methods, but retains a good deal of its wild graces and its native dress. While tho direct influence of Russia in the world of music has been but small, if measured by the rank its com posers hold, it has produced some lino executants, and its melodies havo gain ed a wide acceptance. Beethoven owed something to them, and Chopin used tho airs of Lithuania and Little Russia freely in tho composition of his marvel ous "Preciosities." Field and Hummel elaborated them; Haydn did not dis dain them, and Rossini, who took the "Zitti, zitti" of "11 Rarbiere" from Haydn's "Seasons," appropriated a Russian air for tho "11 veceiiiotto" of the same opera. Nor are tho Russians careless of thoir fine body of national music, with its wealth of "occasional" songs. They are a singing people; they have tho musical temperament, anil their excel lent gifts amply repay any cultivation bestowed upon them. Horrow, with characteristic exaggeration, declares them to bo tho only people who know how to sing. Their keen sense of har mony seems the more remarkable be cause harmonized music is a thing of comparatively modern times in Russia, for even in tho church nasal unison held its own until tho time of Catherino II., and is still siutained by tho old be lievers. Certain parts of tho country tho Ukraine for instance are as fam ous for singing as Yorkshire and Lan cashire in our own country. Tho Rus sian vocalists are remarkable for tho production of soft and sweet eilects, and for t ho extraordinary depth and volume of thoir bass voices; but thoir soprani and tenors do not seoni to bo above tho European averago in quality of voice. Their ecclesiastical music, sung by male voices only, impresses deeply all who hear it Tho basses, who take tho double C and D, and even lower notes with case, are, however, limited in compass, and it was partly this, perhaps, that led to tho institution of thoso singular one-note choirs, in which cacli singer comes in upon his particular noto after tho. fashion of a liand-bcll ringer. A phenomenal bass voico in tho Slaviansky choir now in England would appear only to bo used for a few notes. This method of divis ion has, it may bo mentioned, its paral lel in tho savage music of Guiana, and of somo parts of central Africa. Among tho poasantry there still remains a peculiar mode of singing or chanting that is associated with certain of tho more ancient melodies. These tunes aro built up principally with tho tonic and dominant of tho scale; and when tho other notes of the scale occur in them they aro lightly passed over with little sound or accent. Tho Russian soldiors' songs, in which untrained malooprano sing to tho accompaniment of a pedal noto sustained by tho basses, aro said not to bo pleasant to westorn cars. A popular otliccr is sometimes tossed to tho musio of theso songs; an odd way of bhowing nflbction. Tho Russian gypsy music is ono of tho things no traveler is allowed to noglect, and its famo has consequently been spread into all lands. At present it would appear to havo lost its old qualities, ami to havo becotno a somewhat theatrical commodity cooked up to suit tho do maud for it. Wo can get a glimpso of Russian in strumental musio at an early date. In 51)1 somo Russian ambassadors woro captured by the Greeks, and each was found to havo a gultar-liko instrument with which ho amused himself by tho way. In southern Russia in tho seven teontii century instruments like, tho Greek crotala vcre still in use, as woll as a kind of doublo flute. Tho instru ments that aro now playod upon pro sent only local variations of the famil iar bagpipe, guitar, hautboy", and violin types of tho rest of Europe; except that in some of the stringed instruments tho i sound is obtained from silk cords, I ...1 l. -.- - - r 1 1... !.. ! .1.... which are UMiio.ceu iy iron mics m.ii give forth nipathotio" tones. A similar device to this is found in some of tho Indian and Turkish instruments, Russian ladies play, on tho whole, pretty much tho same pianoforte music as is played all over Europe; but show a partiafity for Chopin, ami admit to their repertoires ono or two of those native composers to whom Rubinstein has lately introduced us. Their songs aro accompanied at times upon a small angular based guitar. Perhaps the most curious feature of Russian instru mental music is found in tho horn-bands that woro instituted early in tho last century, and in which each player has but one noto to sound as in tho one note choirs. Spohr, in his "Autobiog raphy' tells us that he heard a band of this kind play an overture by Gluck with extraordinary precision, and sur mises that this result was not arrived at without manv thrashings. BUILDING A CHURCH. MELONS IN MISSOURI. Selling Them to Dcnlors Along tho llond. Probably there is no place in tho United States to-day where better wa termelons arc raised, or whero they arc grown with less labor and expense, than in certain counties of southeast Missouri. The melon crop is now just at its height, and this delicious fruit is passing our doors daily in car-loads. One of tho stations from which much of this fruit is shipped is Rortrand. which is on tho Cairo branch. It Is not an uncommon sight to sou as many as fifteen or eighteen cars on tho siding waiting to bo filled with melons. Tho country around Rertrand is a rich sand v "bottom,' and melons oftentimes grow to halt tho size of men. All tho farmers of that locality raise more or less melons, and all of them invariably do well with tho crop. All tho molous shippod from that station go out in car load lots. A car usually holds 1,;(00 melons, and the growers sell thorn to middle-men, or dealers, at from $50 to $125 por ear-load. Tho first fruit that is put In tho markot sells at about $125, or a little less than 10 cents each, wliilo later in tho season it drops until some times they oven sell as low as $-10 por car, or !1 cents each. Tho freight on a car-load of melons between Bortrnud and St. Louis is upward of $30, or in the neighborhood of 2 cents a melon. Dealers from all parts of tho country Hook around tho locality whero melons aro sold at this season. Speculators out of a job try to make a few dollars out of tho crop by buying up tho fruit in car-load lots and selling it along tho road. From Rertrand tho melon crop is shipped by local freight. Tho spec ulator, for instance, starts out of Rer trand with two cars of melons on routo to St. Louis via Poplar Blutr. The train stops at every station for livo minutes to half an hour to load and un load freight. Dealers at all tho small stations understand the kink, and aro at tho depots as tho "local" comes in. Perhaps the melon-ear is back a quar ter of a mile from the station. Rut they rush back and aro not long in finding tho man in charge. If a deal is made at all it is made mighty quick. This is about as tho conversation be tween buyer and seller would read were it roportod verbatim: "What you got?" "Peerless and mountain sweet." "How much?" "Sixteen an' quarter." "Good." "Second car-load. Rest all ripe." "Twcnty-livu of each. Quick bell ringing." And" out tho watermelons lly. Per haps by tho time tho lift' melons are all on tho train has started, and within live minutes from tho timo tho train pulled in fifty melons changed hands, tho cash is paid, and away tho train speeds, while tho melons aro picked up and taken to the stores whero they aro retailed from 20 to 25 cents each. Many ear-loads that aro shipped in this wise aro dealt out along tho lino at small stations to local dealers, the fruit novor reaching tho city where destined. Poplar Bluff Citizen A Story About Maud S. Mr. Hill, of tho Chicago National Humane Socity, tolls tho following story: "When Georgo Stone, of Cin cinnati, found that a Kentucky mare which ho had purchased was a very speedy animal ho hired a man to train her. Tho man was cruel to tho maro, and he made but little headway in de veloping her speed. Sho brsoaino ob stinate and ugly, and not only refused to work right of tho sulky, but was vicious in her stable. Luckily this blundering, cruel trainer was discharg ed and illiam Bair employed in his stead. "Bair at onco reversed tho tactics of, his predecessor, and began to treat tho maro with kindness, tsho quickly re sponded with better behavior, and in a short timo became alVectiouato and obedient. Whereas her former master was afraid to go into tho stall unless siio was securely tied. Bair taught her to pick apples out of his coat pocket. As soon as man and beast had estab lished these pleasant relations good re sults began to appear. Tho mare's speed developed rapidly, and sho wsu soon able to make tho famous record of 2:lOL A year or so more of cruel treatment and Maud S. would have been ruined.
