In embroideries there is a chasuble of white silk. It is literally covered with needlework, which is perfect in every thread and in the brilliant colors, but tbe silk shows signs of decay. Then there is next in Importance the room of Japanese curiosities.

Here, among: other strange and beautiful things, is a piece of embroidery which belongs to Coleman, the New York artist, and which ha a romantic history indeed. It was stolen in the first place from a very ancient house in Japan, iu all probability by a servant, the story runs; it was then sold and brought to this country. It thus came into the possession of Mr. Tiffany, of whom Mr. Coleman bought it.

The Japanese Government evidently put as much value upou this stuff as upon some sentient being, perhaps more, for, setting its emissaries to work, it finally traced it to this country to its exact locality, and tried its best to get it back.

A missionary's wife from New Haven sends, amongst other things, a very ngly vase of vitrified paste, which is said to be very valuable. Of course this value must come from its rarity and the fact of its beiue the only specimen of its kind, for it has no element of beauty, beinj of a dull yellow in tint, without decoration of any kiud, and of extremely ungraceful shape.

Mr. George Ward Nichols, the President of the Cincinnati College of Musie, has issued his annual report, from which we abstract the following: Withont counting several classes in elocution or tbe members of the College choir, the numoer of students who have entered and are now in the College is 273. These students are from near and far distant cities and States, and from our immediate neighborhood. The schools of learning of the Sew and tne Old World, and especially those for tnnsical instruction, have resulted after Ions-continued effort and slow growth.

Earlv during the month of August of last summer correspondence aa opened with Mr. Theodore Thomas, wherein he consented to assume the musical directorship of the College. Later in August a number of gentlemen organized this incorporation and extended Mr. Thomas a formal invitation, which he accepted, under date of Aug. 20.

Between that time and the 14th of October the Professors were engaged and tbe plan of the College organized and set in operation. Tne number of Professors constantly occupied in the College is thirty-five. These fire employed in the "Vocal, aud Instrumental 'Departments.

The temptation is Lard to resist to show you how broad and simple and elective are the methods of education adopted bv our Director and his associates, which are in Lappy operation.

I also call your attention to the eminent quantitations the corps of instructors. Their reputation extends even to other lands. This College affords rudimentary instruction. It emb'aces every branch, of the art, with that scientific" training heretofore thought to be attainable only in the schools of the Old World.

But to atone for all this rare ugliness there is a horn of some curious material which, in the feminine vernacular, is "perfectly lovely." It has all the sott shades of brown, from the lightest to nearly black, and is carved in most Wonderful fashion. But to enumerate all the perfectly lovely and choice things, the Cloisonne lacquer and "stuffs," would taice more space than I can spare just now from other tosics. I will only just add a word or two before I leave the subject about the piece of work by Mrs. Oliver Wendell Holmes, which shows what can be done by the modern needle to faithfully represent Nature; for this piece of work is like a painting in its effect, offcrins a contrast indeed to the big specimens of sampler work where GEORGE WASHINGTON, AND A HORSE, and a number of other objects need a label appended to each to settle iu the observer's mind the doubts that agitate as to which is George Washington aud which is the horse, and if the other objects are shrubs, trees, or browsintr kine.

recently, the principal feature was a game of chess played with living chessmen. The chess-board was laid on the floor of the large call or assembly-room. It was made of squares of red and white cloth, and was thirty-two feet square; the Queens and Pawns were represented by the beautiful maidens of the vicinity, in proper costume, and Rooks. Knights. Bishops, and Kings were "done" by their young gallants, also appropriately costumed and armed with spears, shields, etc.

The game was conducted by two players, who, overlooking the board from a lofty perch at either end of the room, issued their commands in a loud tone, and a marshal, with trumpeters, pursuivants, and heralds attending, saw that they were properlv obeyed; the moves were called out in such a way that, if we ever print this game, the notation might at first embarrass our readers; instead of the usual tki or tks or what not, the score of this game is said to read Mr. B. takes Miss or Queen Lucy takes Mr. C. etc.

It is said that the struggles of some of the girls when taken (by the wrong one) were terrible, though funny, and great merriment was created among the spectators whenever a fair Pawn was "scooped," or a gorgeous Knight or impious Bishop met his fate. After a hot contest, the game was won bv the Black, which side was conducted tw Vr R'P. Nevin: the Black Queen, Miss Dick- "YOU MAY CALLTHE ANGELS NOW."

Now I am on the subject of authors, it will be in order to speak of a book which is yet in advance-sheets from the press of Roberts Brothers. It is the latest of tbe No-Name series, and by fir the most satisfactory. A novel, the name singularly attractive, "Signor Monaldini's Niece," it transcends the ordinary novel just as much as a true poem by a true poet transcends the thousand-and-one imitations. There is a good deal of twaddle at the present day by airood many people who don't know what they mean themselves about this or that book being a work of art or otherwise. Now, I can't tell whether these people who talk so knowingly as they think would call this story of "Siimor Monaldini's Niece" a work of art or not; but, if it is not a work of art, it Is what is better, a work eon, was presented with an immense bouquet by the marshal, and the defeated players, after the The old flint-lock tnnsket.

This exercise may wiih many be a recapitulation of their former studies; but even with them it is necessary. The exercises will be as follows: Interval exercises, knowledge of chords, harmonic changes, modulation, rnles and exercises for pronunciation, exercises for flexibility and velocity ft the voice, combined with vocal coloring and pronunciation of vowels. In order to make atisfactory progress we may, the start, require more than one session per week for vocal exercises. It may be desirable for the women's voices to be practiced separately dur-ine ihe dav, and the men's voices separately at fiiilit, and ilien at the united seesion. after some Keneral elementary instruction, to study a four-part choral work.

Ihe heroiue is A MOST LORD CREATURE, ideal, but, let us hope, possible. The hero is less marked, is a mere sketch indeed, and we have to take the author's word that he is a very wonderful person: he certainly does not impress us by his own personality.
