An Amati Violin.
Mr. Frank 8011, a wo!l known
youngma:; of this city, has in his
possesic l a violin nearly three hun
dred years old, and which is believ
ed on good auihority to bo r genu
ine Amati. About three years ago
Mrs. Bell who is a widow, and her
family went to live in Richmond,
Her sob I rank went to one of the
public :‘b Is of that city, and at,
home tool: lessons on the viola from
a [oral isacher, a German musician,
Brat. leiioe. As the lad progress
ed his study he grew dissatisfied
wifi his liddle and decided to buy
a better ono. Talking it over with
a school fallow, young James, that
boy bethought him of an old fddle
at home and offered to sell it to
Frank. This was the famous Am
ati. The boy knew but little of
the history ot the liddle, but when
it was fitted with strings and keys
the wonderful tones which the Ger
man professor evolved from it da
cided him that it was an oxfraordi
nary instrument, and ha sold it Jo
young Bell for what seemed to him
at a great figure—s3s. By Prof. |
Teiloe’s advice the fiddle was sent
to New York to a firm who make a
specialty of repairs. In cleaning
the inside of the violin they dis
covered a scrap of paper, yellow
with age. on which was given in
Italian the exact record of this Cre
mona.
‘ ; Do you know what you havo
got?” the New York firm wrote,
and when the instrument had been
thoroughly refitted and restrung
ibe musical people in New Ycrk
went crazy about it, and odors rang
ing from SIOO up to $1,500 wore
made for if.
(On its merits as a violin before
returning it to Richmond, Prof.
White ot New York, and the late
Prof. Beiifiette of Washington,
both well known artists, gavoare

sic: ms. in which the Cremona was
tested for nearly four hours The
rid \ iin discoursed to the musi
r.• in tones mellowed by two
:: n ■ ?. half centuries of age. Amid
: fintdrs they named it the “King
A mail.’’
Then came offer after offer, and
the fair.© of “The King Amati”
i-vo'sed the ocean and the viriuosi
heat'd of it. Signor Spigherni® of
Iv'mft. ofisred $3,000 for the violin,
ji.ud s der his death his son, who
won. ■■ b'britv as a violinist, made

Bottled Chicken.
a resident of Marion Sfreet,
Charlestown, is a great fancier of
fowls. ■ a day or itv’o ago, when he
turned out his last brood to scratch
for themselves, one of the chicks
ran across a pickle boll So and
squeezed itself through the nock
with tom® difficulty, and could not
get out again. When morning came
the old hen missed her chick and
went in ssarch of it. Having found
it, and not being able to extricate it
from its imprisonment, she Hew
around like she was mad. and final
ly became so violent that hoc own
er came from his breakfast table to
learn the cause. The old hen was
th on rolling the bottle ever and ov
or with her feet. In breaking the
bottle the chicken’s throat was bad
ly cut. The wound was sewed up
and the chick is now able to grub
for itself, although its neck is still
done up with a white rag.—[Bos

A Swindled EmigranL
An old German peasant arrived
at Castle Garden one day last
weeK, whose experience is an ox-j
/(.mple of hew foreigners are duped 1
by tales of American wealth. He
had been told by an emigration
agent that gold was so plenty in
this country that the people gave
golden trinklets t© the children to
play with, and to everybody to
trim th© carriages, buildings
and street limps with golden orna
ments. Ho accordingly said his
little place, and after buying a tick
et for New York, spent the remain
dor of Ins money, with the excep
tion of * few francs, m giving his
neighbors a banquet. On his arriv
ial here he had just seven francs
left. The old man was deplorably
ignorant, but vheia it dawned on
his mind how he had been duped,
Ihe wept like a child. He will be
1 sent back.—[New York News.
