Bulow one day to get his opinion of
a pianoforte concerto. Von Bulow
declared he was too busy at that mo

leisure. That same evening, at a
party, Von Bulow was asked to play,
and to the amaxement of the young
composer, who happened to be pres
ent, he sat down and played . the en
ure concerto from memory. When he
was director of the famous Melnincen
orchestra, not content with conduct
ing without a score, he endeavored,
though without success, to Induce
the members I of his band to learn
their music by heart. Both In thvs-
lque and in temperament Von Bulow
was much more like a Frenchman
than a German, and many of his wit
ticisms were full of true Gallic

other, a youth, tolerably . vigorous,
bnt abject and forlorn In dsmeaoov.
The b residing mandaria appeared,
sat down and sipped kis tea, while
an official pattered out a long ora

the prisoners proceeded, as I aader
s toed, to plead "not guilty." What
followed was thl: The old man wa

stolid Chinamen flogged hkn with
long.-pliaat canes above the 'knees.
The yoJlh was divested of hi ehalns,
which were then plied up In front
of him. 1 Upon these he was com
pelled to kneel, while his feet, hand
and pigtail were all attached by a
cord to a post behind him and tight
