the highland bagpipe. Miirvrlon* Influence Over Hie Sol- 1 di«*r» of Motlaml. [London Standard.] Th , OI1 iy musical instrument that can he siiidto be distinctively national is Highland bagpipe. Violin, flute, 1 otli^r instruments are common to * anv nations, but the bagpipe is pe ar 11 Scotland, and it it does uot ’ vv occupy the position it once did it to be found in no o'hcr country. " In the days when the notorious Kob i'„v committed bis depredations, when Vi-h Ian Vhors lived securely m their Highland fastnesses, aud kept up ii„ ir dicnilied social positions—in the ti, ring* tones which Sir Walter Scott r...,'inimitably depicted—the bagpipe- w as one of the important person- in the chieftain's "tail" or retinue, ',1 these may considered as the i'lilmv Jays of'the instrument. Within the regioli more correctly known as the Highlands its shrill note was the first Hind that fell on the ears of infancy; Jl i-.harmed the rude t'ale lonians in times ,,f jov and comforted them ill scenes of mourning; it animated their heroes in I,attic and welcomed them back from their conflicts; and wherever their chief uetit it accompanied them, even to tlio ^The'efTect. which this wild instrument has on the Highland soldiers is marvel- „!is. Above the rattle of musketry and the turmoil and noise of the battle field the inspiring notes of the pibroch have -nokeii encouragement to the Highland er, ami led them bravely forward. At the battlo of Quebec when the troops were retreating in disorder, and when the conilict had a discouraging aspect, the general complaint about the bad conduct of Fraser's corps. ".Sir,” said till' officer, "you did very wrong in for bidding the pipers to play. Nothing in spirits the Highlanders so much, hvun now they would be of some use.” "Let them blow in God’s name, then,” said the general. The order being given, the ]ii|„-is started an old and well known air: the Highlanders rallied together, and bravely returned to the charge. Many such instances of the remarkable j efleet of this particular musical instru ment might be adduced. | ] sav that it was derred from tlio VCAPITAI. PHIZR •tS.OOO..

At any rate, it .seems t.» have been always one of the musical instruments of the Celtic race. The pipe mentioned in ancient history was simply what is known as the shepherd s reed. After a time a bug was added, and sub- .>Ci|iiently the drones or burdens. There are now four forms of the modern bag pipe in this country—the great High land bagpipe, which is blown by the player, the drones being placed over the shoulders: the Lowland bagpipe, which is provided with a bellows for supplying the wind: the Northumberland bagpipe, which is smaller and sweeter than thfi former two, and the Irish bagpipe, which is a much more complicated in strument than the others. Tin* 1 nltcd Slate* Supreme Court. | Washington Cor. PoMt-Dis|tatch.| The law is supposed to be pretty hard work, but it does not seem to make men look or feel old. To look at the su preme court judges as they walk up and down the avenue to and from the court room on these pleasant winter days, • hatting cheerily as they go. one would not think that the aggregate ages of the nine men is 570 years, or an average of «»:{ years. Nor would he think that there is one among them considerably over 70 years of age and three more now in their 70th year. Vet such is the faet. Field, Miller and Waite were born in Ibid. Justice Bradley might have retired on full pay -#1U,LU.) per year—at any time in the past two years, and Messrs. Waite, ti' ld and Miller have but a few months longer to wait when they have the same privilege, having reached within a short period each the age of 70, at which age they may retire if they have served ten >ears, as each of them has done. It ms pretty likely that should any of •m retire before the 4th of March Mr. Fre.inghuysen would be appointed to a plaee on tlu bench.
