Strauss and Death
Strauss was a man o( remarkable genius ancj not only deve-
loped the powers of the German dance in an unprecedented de-
gree but iuiluonced the whole of mqdcrti music .Cqmposors of
no mean note although not of'thp first cass( were known to
visit Vienna to get themes for ijcw operas from Strauss' npw
valtzes. His decease ' reminds us of a capital story which ap-
peared hi some German paper shortly after the cholera of '"3&.
Wo heard It from a cliiver Vjeniiesc musician and wish (hat we
coltld1' give it With the spirit of his" side-splitting recital. Word
it is as we nimembcr it": When the cholera was at its Height

"No Strauss you rtilist come ;; don't keep me Waiting ; 1 have
an immensity to do thsse Stirring' times." " Oh ! I can't go ; I
am making thir.ty thousand dialers a year.. You can't be so hard .
hearted as to take away from Vienna a man olly thir.ty years
old with thirty thousand thalers a year !" "None of this non-
sense. I-Iard-liearted ? Don't you see through my ribs f hat J

" But consider Death what tlio Emperor will think Of' you and
how the whole court will vote you a boro if they get no nbw

him off if he says much I should like to see them put"Dcath

moi'c waltz before 1 leave my darling instrument' pleaded the
poor trembler. l So you may but see that is a good one" an-
swered Death cockiiighis car like a connoisseur. Strauss played
the waltz Death marking the measure complacently; and say-
ing when it was through with a patronizing air "Pretty well
Strauss ; von may play another." Strauss began ifi a more'
spirited strain. TJeath kept the time with hand and foot ; the
old woman kept time also; until tumble to resist the mole than
magical impulse he threw his arm about her and round and
round spun Death and the old woman. Fastejr and faster play-

rib signs of weariness hut Death was getting exhausted and giddy.

Most Extraortlinary Story.
The following most e'xtr'abrdinaVy story is rdlated by tho Paris'
correspondent of the Indcpeiida'nt of Brussels in' a letter dated
14th January: . u ur
"A (cw montlis ago one df the mot pharming hofels.of tlFe
new quarter of the Champs-Elysues was occupied by Count R
an ex foreign diplomatist the Countess 11 aHd their daugh-
ter. The Count is nbbut 60 ytiarsof age his wife 25 and the
daughter 6. Count II. received a good deal of company and
particularly foreigners of distinction in consequence ot hig.iiu.
tionality and tho acquaintances that lie had made in his different
embassies. The young 'countess! was a great favorite for her
beauty and accomplishments. Notwithstanding the difference
in the age of the count ahd his wife their conjugal lifo was a
perfect model of propriety ond dignity. The countess it oppears
had little fortune before marriage. The. count who was the
friend of her family had married" her as much on account of his
admiration of her merit as of tho desire that he felt being the
last of his race to dispose of his property in favor of a family
that he esteemed. Suclv was the general position of things as
it has been certified to me. Ill tho month of Septdmber last the
count received frorn a capitol in the north of Europe a letter
from a priest entreating jiim to come as soon as possible to tlic
deathbed of the mother of the countess and he was strictljTen-
joined to come alone. The count although much surprised
complied with the request and concealed it from the countess in
orderto spare her feelings.. He arrived at in sufficient time
to. receive from the mouth of his expiring mother-in-law a most
painful and sad avowal a confession enjoined without doubt
by a priest as a condition of reconciliation with God. Here my"
task as a narrator becomes difficult and delicate. I must leave
the reader to suppose what the confession was. The dying per-
son was of about the same aire as the count und had married an
old man. At his debut in t!je diplomatic career the count had.
passed several years in that capitol where he had formed .an in-
timate acquaintance with the family of the lady. At length to
his great regret and that of the Baroness G he chatfged
his residence and during eighteen years rose successively in di-
plomatic functions; At the end of this period he returned as an
ambassador. The baroness was a widow with very little fortune
and the prospects ot her daughter were therefore iy no means
brilliant. The count oflered"his hand to the daughter and the
mother dazzled hv the advantages which would result to her

from this marriage gave a guilty assent. The marriage took
place but the mother from a caprice as the count supposed at
thdtime stipulated that he and his wife should go and reside in
another coutry. They went (0 Italy where they remained un-
til the recent revolutions broke out and then they visited Paris.
The nature of the cruel confession made by the dying woman
to the count to save her soul- from perdition by absolution may
bo divined. ThM guilty 'mother' died pardoned by the count but
the man who had once lover! her received such a shock that
from tin's moment he resolved never to see his wife again or the
fruit of his fatal marriage. He availed himself of tho pacifica-
tion of Italy to return and went straight to Mount Casino tbso-
lic.it an asylum from the 'Beu'bdictuie''Monks of St. John. The
countess learned at 'the same time the' death of her mother' and
the strange disappearance of her'husband. Soon afterwards she
received 'some papers for the regulation of her fortune as a 'defi-
nitive 'document of a separation forwhich no motive was stated.
We mayjudge of what passed in the mind of this young and
cha'rthing'vvoman who was at once an orphan and almost a wid-
ow without beinff able 'to comprehend the causes of a separa
tion or knowing where her husband was. Sheimajjined at first
that she was;thb vib'tim of some atrocious calumny but know-
ing her 'innocence she resol v'cdto seek out the true cause. Last
month shtf decided to visit he foreign capitol where her mother
died'and there the unfortunate countess' learned everything
hpV'is nbt known. 'Suddenly her daughter Ihe little' angel ad-
mired by all who knew het- became odious to the mother and
ore lonsr tnecountcss became insane. JLast week tne turniture
of her hotel was sold by auction and a report was current' that
Mdlle. A'lborii (the vocalist)' had purchased the hotel but 1 'do
not know what truth there is in. the report. The unfortunate
countess has a brother it 'is said jtV the service of ong of 'the'
princes of the north and a notary of PaHs is snidtto'h'tiVe direct-
ed the sale' by1 his orders". As to count R r-'itislsuppos'ed that
he intends' to. become a'monk." ' ' '" ' " "
