THE ORIGIN OF THE WALTZ.
The opinion most generally conceded is that France received the waltz from Germany to- wards the close of the 18th century, says the London Musical Courier, and among many beliefs this contains the most truth; but the justice of attributing to Germanic influence the Penaissance of the waltz in France does not of necessity verify the statement that it had its origin in Germany.
Like everything else that touches humanity, where nothing is born spontaneously but every. thing is the product of series of successive evolutims, the waltz did not emanate in its present form from the brain of the dancing master. Long before 1780, the time when we find it first mentioned under this name, its graceful curves and cadences were displayerf on the village greens as well as in the golden salon of palaces; it had its alternatives of vogue and neglect, its supporters and detractors.
The wait, like many other secutar things, we find first in the Church, where, in the midst of barbaric disorder, it serves to trace the union between auciem civilisation and that of the Middle Ages. The sacred dance of the pagans is preserved to a certain point in Christian rites; it is nausfanted to a series of revolutions made to the sound of the tambourine. St. Isidore, Archbishop of Seville, bom about A.D. 580, was entrusted by the Council of Toledo with the revision of the liturgy as it was then practised in the Roman Church, in which there was a tambourine dance. The council decided in adopt the Isiderian liturgy in all and differed but little from that used Spain,
ather countries at that time. This rite, crie brated befire the righth century, when the Moors first invaded Spia, was still celebrated by the Christians in the seven churches of Toledo, which the Moors abandoned after their capture of the city, and was after that time called the Moorish rite
in
i:
This was known and employed in Province and Italy. The tambourine in use in this religious dance was called by St. Isidore "moite le symphonic," and evidently corresponded to the instrument whien, in the ancient sacred dances, accompanied the flute, a sort of bagpipe in vented two centuries' B.C. And the, as the religious dore of the Middle Ages is allied to the ancient sacred dance, sa the wallz is an evolution of this religious dance, having passed through many changes before arriving at its
present form.
In the eleventh century, when the Gregorian rite supplanted the Moorish rite, the dance dis- appeared from the Church. 1'appeared very quickly in society under the name of carole, a word derived from the Latin "carofer;" after wards under that of base-dance, in which the grand prelates, kings, and dignitaries did not flisdain to join, composed of three parts, two very slow and one more lively. The people- and at this time all who were not the clergy or envalty were the people-used the latter part, called the tourdian, which, lighter and more lively, appealed to them, and, little by little. it became changed.
Tu Italy it was first separated from the rest ander the danie of romanesca," and from there is passed to Provence and Southern Ger- many In Provence it was developed into the gaillard and volte, while the Germans, more dreamy and slow, changed the romanesca into the allemand and waltz. The volte succumbed, while young, to oblivion, in the sixteenth cen tury, by very reason of its excess, but the Gennan lived long, and produced the wallz which reigns today.
Thus from the tourdian "of the aristocratic dance transformed by the people was burn the romanesc which became in France the gaillard and volte, and in Germany, through. various stages, emerged at last into the waltz, and this last avatar of the old dance of the eleventh century sveins to be installed de finitely and to have fixed the fancy of the work. The waltz has always had and will have, ap; preciation and opposition, but it has triumphed over all, and to-day its suscial hythm, 50 charming and captivating, which Beethoven and Chopin disdained got to immortalise, is to be heard on every side. The "lovitation to the Waltz" by Weber, magnificently orchestr nted by Berlioz, is celebrated, but, of course, it must be remembered that these waltzes were composed to be listened to rather than to be danced.

SMALLPOX IN A RAILWAY
TRAIN.
EXTRAORDINARY AFFAIR.
A case of smallpox, which had its origin in à railway, has occurred at Betcherby, near Carlisle. The patient is a commercial traveller for a
London firm, and from inquiries which have been made it appears that about the end of April he was travelling in the to a.m. day express from Euston. There were two engineers in the compartment in which he travelled. They were on their way from Moscow to Manches. One of these engineers, after arriving at Manchester, went to Staley bridge, where he lived, but where he has just died of smallpox The other went to Bolton, and is now suffering from the disease. there is also a case at Oldham. The engineer who died at Staleybridge must have got the infection at Moscow or somewhere in Russia,
he
was observed to be ill when the Carliste com- mercial traveller journeyed with him from Lon don. Every precaution has been taken at Car- lisle, at Manchester, Bolton, &c., against the further spread of the disease.
A PARISIAN SENSATION.
نهند
Some of the boulevard journals thought they had struck a good thing in the case of M Philipp, ex-official of the Ministry of Marine. He had been selling Alarine secrets, Boer secrets, any secrets you like, to the British Embassy. The truth, which has pow resulted in a sentence of four years' imprisonment and a fine of a thousand francs for the missing Philipp, is not so sensational, but the story is very, very French. Being in a tight corner as a company promoting swindler, he wanted 25,000 f.; so, evidently modelling himself on a certain great Major, he wrote to Sir Edmund Monson, saying that he was in the pay of Leyds and would reveal a Boer secret worth any sacrifice of money" to England for that unifle But the son-in-law of the British Embassy gate-porter suspected this letter from the dirt iness of the envelope and bearer, opened it and, wishing to save the Boers from "this act
treason "(Mr. Kruger is indeed right in say ing that the voice of civilization is with him), canted the letter to Leyds, who proved never to have heard of Philipp. So the British Am. bassador did not reply in the name of "Jack son," as requested (another Esterhazian touch), but the gate-porter's daughter turned veiled tady, and lured Phillipp on to his doom, and the very, very French story is at an end.-P. M. Guzelic.

Brown, Col. L. F. account the lecturer gave of them, these early
Brown, N. P. Egyptain kings were a high-handed race who regularly erased their predecessor's inscriptions to make room for their own, and insisted on having their domestics slaughtered at their death and buried with them so as to secure their services in the next world. But they were very far from being barbarians, for they built large palaces and temples, used silver and copper, and had a system of picture-writing. which is still intelligible. Even in those days, too, decadence was not unknown, and there seems to have been a decided falling-off in their artistic productions towards the end of the | dynasty, which many have been about 4500 J.C. M. Maspero's enlightened policy in assigning this site to Professor Petris has borne excellent fruit, and he hopes to find enough material on the site to occupy him for four or five years to come. An account of the past season's work with more than sixty plates of inscription is ex pected this month, and an exhibition of the relics themselves will be held at University College in July.
