Now, having noticed last evening’s treat,

we lit ait ly aubmit a few remarks to the ** Club.’ Their watchword should be Forwarp. They have made their mark, and now they have in their hands a great and uobie educational power. The art of music is something more than a a for the mere sense of the beautifal, or an ex- quisite provocativa to startle ie sense of a selfish, indulgent pleasure; yes, it is to serve a3 the incarnation of the TRUE and the von, ‘And weave for God the gar ment thou seest him by.” It speaks to man the most eee il language of any oi the art family, its forms and performance must be measured by the earnesinass and success with which they teach and sugyest what is best in aspiration and truest in thought. This requires earnest study on the part of the performers, a thorough knowledve of the spirit of the piece; a realization of that knowledge, and an in- telligenes to impart it to the instrument, Then, the pureat forms of music become to the listener something more than a sensuous enjoyment ; they become the handmaid and minister of the religious instinct. The Club, then, must seek to emancipate us from the thraldvum of merely trivial and commonplace music, and uplift on pedestals for our reverence and respect, the so long- dishonored Masters of the art; for music is now perfermed, studied, and listened to by a much larger number of persons, and in a more serious spirit, than was the case at any previous peried; it is also rapidly de- coming on essential branca of education. The Club must not think that what we are asking is difficult to cultivate, for we are not demanding from them an acquaint ance with the scientitic basis of the art. The nuniber of vibrations by which a tune is produced is, perhaps, a matter of total in difference to thos» who can string such tones tovather into a melody, or play them on any iustrument. We may broadly state that the discoveries of Helmholtz, Tyndal! and ether scientific men, though excellen: and valuable, have never been of the sligit- est service to practical musicians. The story has been told of that scientilie man

who wrote his crack piece of music on

strictly »aathematical pri ciples - It wasa model of form, aud everythirg that could be desired from a scientitic view ; but,

alas, for poor science, the piece was extra ordinarily duil and lifeless. While on th other side, we have no evidence that Bach, Mozart or Handel understood any thing whatever of the physical laws of their art. There } 1ce of acoust ics, and an ART or Music. What we plead for is the culti- vation of the art.

The exploration of the interior of Green laud has been steadily encouraged by the

Government of Denmark, since 1875, a small appropriation being voted therefor every year. The entire surface is thought to be covered with ice, with the possibic exception of the mountain ridge which forms the watershed. A calculation by

Dr. H. Rink, shows that the ice masses which c ilect in the form of glaciers at the head of the fjords, and there throw off ice bergs into the sea, probably occupy a period

of one hundred years in moving from the central ridge to the coast. ‘here is one fjord from which a body of ice nine hund:ed feet thick, two miles wide and two wiles loug is annually pashed into the ocean. The highest elevation yet reached in the interior is five thousand feet, and the rise from the sea board is very gradual.

STOCK-TAKING.

‘KT E hereby inform the pub- W lic of this city, and the Island generally, that previous to Stock-taking, we have re- solved to clear out as much of our Winter Stock as possible. We are aware that at this season itis hard to get people to buy even at reduced prices; but in the face of this difiieulty we have made up our mind to adopt full measures, and sell our Wool

Goods and Dress Goods at a sacrifice. Our Goods have been very

cheap all winter, as the run of trade we have had fully testifies. Our store has become the resort of those Ladies who know how tomake a penny go a long way, and who know a cheap article when they see 1t; and when we say we are going to reduce the prices of our Dress Goods and Trimmings, we know we shall e believed. We are particul- arly anxious to clear out our present Stock, in order to intro- duce as much of the newest style of Dress Material as Boas and at the very lowest pric We shall make special prices on Black Cashmeres, Black Meri- nos, Black Cords and Lustres, Lustrines and Brilliantines Our Fancy Wool Goods will be sold at less than cost. Our Stock of this class was the larg- est, most select, and finest in the city, and the remains of it will be sold at a great sacrifice. Blankets, Quilts, Horse Rugs, ‘| &e., will be cleared out at great Bargains. 3 We make no apology to the «| Pea-drinking public for drawing

‘itheir attention to our fine flavored and rich Teas, 32, 36,

and 40 cents per Ib. They are

receiving the highest praise, and |

those who use them, strongly recommend them to others. Our trade in this- article is growing rapidly. Tea appe: als. to the

‘most subtile of the senses, and

as the proof of the pudding is in the eating, so the proof of the Tea is in the drinking. Friends, try it.
