It may not bo amiss for me oucu in a way to touch upon things ol social Interest beyond tho seas The event of the month lu Paris has been the visit of Liszt, tho priest pianist, after an absence of twenty-slx years. What n llfo his has been a poem that Is one long epic. When the century was Just turned out of Its teens Hit re arrived iu Vicuna from Central Hungary a young lad of Magyar blond named Franz I.l87t. Ilo became assistant to tho venerable CnjirtmiMw nt the Imperial chapels, wheru those of tho House of Iliipsbtirgand the great princely families nf the Austrian Kuiplre were wont to pray. The buy was deeply Imbued with the mystlo sense that makes the descend nits of tho Aryon tho mirvelniis races they are, full uf the lire of tlieSjoulli und tho phil osophy and romance nf the far Kist.

It was III such a plain as Hits that Liszt was horn, and tho bplrlt uf the Pralrlo Is fell lu every note ho has ever written. Does ho represent a storm? ion seo the Immense plain below ovirsliadowed even to Kgyptlan darkness by tho Genius of the Ind, wllh clouds of chaotic blackness sometimes rent open by awful flashes of lightning, making a net no ns lerriblo as the Laat Day. Thcro Is lu I lszl's II fu the sweetest uf love stories llio daughter or a pttuccly housu ami thoyuungor gautst separated by a social guir tun wldo to bo passed. Instead of suicide, tho youth gave Ids llfo and genius lu Heaven.

Prlestas ha was, ho was a man and it Magynr. '1 here was a stately lady, whoso omc black hair was as white as his own, mill In licr presence he lived ag tin tho ro mance of lid youth. AAi' never forgot, and among her most treasured rcltca or tlio past Is a music score on paper old and yellow, aud in ink- marks dimmed with years thcro Is written, "lly Frame Liszt, ISM." I never saw tlio great master but once, nearly four teen years ago. I wus In Vienna, and ono evening wasthngucstof ngrcat Hungarian magnate. There were stately, beautiful llohcnilsii wumen, ami dames uf Die oldest and purest strain nf blood that comes down from tho King llunyadl Janoa. All at once I heard a murmur. At llio fur end of the grealsalou was au old man iu priestly robes, who looked tho Princo of tho Church and llio gentleman, ins faco waa ono uf unusual slreuglh, trained In with lionlne locks uf tho deepest white, lighted with deep, it n- unralhomablo oriental eyes. Ilo sat down at tho piano. Though I know nothing of music, I aaw at tho first touch that his was a master hand. After a brilliant prelude ho dashed Into one of Ida Inlmlta. bio Hungarian rhapsodies.
