surprises.

Historical Museum of Leipsic.
5J& HE report of the Musical-Historical Museum
S
of Leipsic, has been published, and shows
that this newly opened institution promises to
be a distinct success. Since its opening by the
King of Saxony in March, 1893, its treasures
have been considerably increased. This is
partially due to the sale by auction of the fa-
mous Hammer Collection at Stockholm, which
took place last May at Cologne. The directors
took advantage of this opportunity, and bought
several of its most valuable instruments. Ow-
ing to a large number of art-lovers from all
parts of Europe being present, in most cases
the bidding was very high. Another chance
to enlarge the museum presented itself when
the celebrated violinist, Wilhelmj, left Blasewitz
to take up his abode in London. Not wishing
to expose some of his art treasures to the dam-
age a long journey may cause, he offered to
sell part of them to the museum. Some of
these are unique in their kind, such as a Mag-
gini large contrabass, which used to adorn
Wilhelmj's drawing-room; the life-sized bust
of Nicolo Paganini, and the original bust of
Gluck, by the great French sculptor, Houdon ;
a bust of Handel and Wilhelmj's marble por-
trait, modeled by Gerth at Rome. These are
all objects of interest. Efforts were made to
procure these objects for London, says Musical
News, but they have remained in Germany.
The report informs us that since its opening
the museum has been much frequented by
Englishmen and Americans.
A. G. BEATTIE, who purchased the business
of Kirk Johnson, at Columbia, Pa., opened his
new store at 332 Locust street, March 1st.
THE Schubert Piano Co. has joined the great
majority of business firms who are experiencing
an improved condition of trade for the past
month. The volume of business transacted was
highly satisfactory.
Mr. H. LEONARD, of Alfred Dolge & Son, is
making a clean sweep of the West. Wherever
Mr. Leonard appears he exemplifies the old saw,
" I came, I saw, I conquered." Hence he has
got his book pretty full of orders.
