By the completion of the bridge over the Thames River, at New London, Conn., it is hoped the time be- tween Boston and New York 01 the above trains will be materially shortened ; so that now, with new and greatly improved rolling stock, the finest dining, drawing-room, and sleeping cars, and a continuous rail pas- sage between the two cities, the service of the Shore Line has become as nearly perfected as is at present pos- sible, and it has no superior in New England. The New London bridge is the largest drawbridge in the world, and the vexatious and delaying ferries at this point are entirely done away with by its completion. J. R. KENDRICK, Gen'l Manager. GEO.

Appreciation of the story of Sakuntala was the means of furthering the study of Sanskrit in Europe. The tale, one of the most beautiful in " Hindu mythology, as told in the Mah&barata is as follows : Sakuntala was the daughter of the Saint Viswamitra and the Apsaras, or water- nymph, Menaka. Abandoned by her parents, she was adopted by the Saint Kanwa, who brought her up in his hermitage as his daughter. Once upon a time King Dushyanta went a-hunting in the forest, and, accidentally • coming to the hermitage of Kanwa, saw Sakuntala, and fell in love with her. He persuaded her to marry him according to the rite of the Gan- dharva marriage, and promised her that the son she would bear him should be the heir to his throne, and that he would take her home as his queen to his royal city. Kanwa, who had been absent while this event happened, returned to the hermitage, and through his divine knowledge knew the whole secret, though it had not been confessed to him by Sakuntala. She in due time was delivered of a son, and remained at the hermitage until the boy was six years old ; but, as Dushyanta, unmindful of his promise, did not send any messenger for her, Kanwa directed her to proceed with her boy to the residence of Dushyanta. This she did ; but, when she arrived there, she was repudiated by the king. Nor did her speech, how- ever touching and eloquent, move his heart, until at last a heavenly voice assured him that Sakuntala had spoken the truth, and that he saw before him his lawful son. Thereupon Dushyanta recognized Sakuntala as his GRAND, UPRIGHT, AND SQUARE PIANOFORTES. For more than fifty years before the public, these instruments have, by their excellence, attained an unpurchased pre-eminence, which establishes them the unequalled in TONE, TOUCH, WORKMANSHIP, AND DURABILITY.

About six-and-twenty years ago, a Saxon count, whose sensibility would be shocked were he ever to read his name in print, appealed to Rubinstein on behalf of a young Jew, needy, but highly gifted, and earning a scanty living by copying music. The result was that, through the generosity of the composer, the struggling genius was enabled to develop his powers, and finally to produce two lyrical works, which never failed to draw large audiences in more than one German town, especially those of Saxony. The young man's name was Carl Goldmark — thus wrote an enthusiastic Dresdener. Goldmark is a Hungarian, born in 1852, whose musical edu- cation was gained at the Vienna Conservatory. He began by studying the violin, but soon developed a taste for composition, and it is Goldmark, the composer, who is known in two hemispheres.
