During the w in ter of 1HJ18 Paganini was living in a iiiaison de saute called Les Neothermes, 4H Hue de la Victoria. One day a large I hix was brought here by the Norm andy diligence, on opening which he found inclosed two inner boxes, and, wrapped carefully in several folds of tissue paper, a wooden sins* and a letter stating that the writer, having heard much of the wonderful genius o f the violinist, begged, as a proof of hi« devotion to music, that Paganini would play in pub lic on the oddly constructed instrument inclosed. A t first Paganini felt this to be uu im pertinent satire, and mentioned the facts, with some show of temper, to his friend, the Chevalier de liaride. The latter took the shoe to a violinmaker, who converted it into a remarkably sweet toned instrument. Paganini was pressed to try the shoe violiu in public, lie not only did b o , but js rformed upon it some of bis most difficult fantasias, which facts, in the handwriting of the violinist, are now to la* seen on the curi ous violin.
