No Melody the Theme of .More Cortroversy -- France and Germany Contend for Author- ship--England Probably Has the Honor, Rochester Post-Express. Once more the question of the auth- arship of "God Save the King" has been raised. Probably no melody has been the theme of more controversy. France and Germany have contended for its ownership; Russia, Denmark, and this country have sung it to pat- riotic words; famous composers have used it in their works. For over a century, its rightful ownership has been a bone of contention. Franee now comes forward omce more with the claim; that it is rightfully and exclu- sively hers. Originally she based her case on the memoirs of the Marquise de Crequi, pointing to Lully as the composer. It seems to be a fact that during the life of Louis Quatorze, the young ladies at the aristocractic con- vent of St. Cyr, for whose edification Racine wrote "Athalie" and "Esther," used to sing a prayer with the follow- ing words : Grand Dieu, sauyez le Roi} Grand Dieu, vengez Je Roi! Vive le Roi! Que, toujours glorieux, Louis victarieux, Voie ses ennemis, Toujours soumis. The latest story coincides with the older tradition in respect of the words; but now the name of Couperin is sub- stituted for that of Lally; and it is asserted that Handel copied the chant during bis visit to Paris and, on his return to England, dedicated it to George 1. This edifying story only needs proofs to command belief, but the proofs are not forthcoming, and the chances are a - thousand to one that they do not exist. The association of the pame of Han del with the composition is curious ; for this is the second occasion on which he has figured in the matter. Henry Carey, a popular singer of the first half of the eighteenth century, sang "God Save the King" as his own words and composition at a ban- quet held to celebrate the taking of Porto Bello, on the Isthmus of Pan- ama, bv Admiral Vernon in 1739. This story found many believers, and the fact that Carey, though a fine melodist --he wrote "Sally. in Our Alley" --was a very indifferent master of counter- point, is got over by suggestins that Christopher Smith, Handel's clerk, re vised the setting. This slender link was deemed sufficient bv many people, to justify the belief that the magnifi- cent melody was the work of the great Saxon, On the other hand the hypo- thesis that Handel stole it would be by no means untenable: for, in the matter of unacknowledged borrowing, he was as unserupulous as a modern vellow. journal, with this difference, that he often put what he took into an immortal setting. But the idea of Handel's authorship has never been erviongly entertained hv authorities on the subject. It would be more reas able to go to Scotland, and find the original of the air, as many canny Scots still persist in doing, in the old Scotch carol, "Remember, 0 Thou Man, Thy Time is Spent'."" This melo- dy, which was published in Ravens- croft's "Melismata'" in 1611, has the same rhythmio swing as "God Save the King' and, what is still more noteworthy, snatches "of the melody are identical with measures of the hvmn. But, if these scraps of positive evidence favor the Scotch pretensions, those parts of the carol which have no likeness to the national air as em phatically belie it. Henry Purcell, commonly known as the "father of ¥inglish music," though William Bynd, better deserves the title, has also been brought forward as a candidate for the honors of the auth- orship of this national air. But the evidence on his behalf is open to the same severe criticism that kills the hopes of Scotland. Tt is true that the largo of the Sixth sonata bears a striking resemblance to the air of "God Save the King," at least fora fow measnres; but what follows is pallid by comparison with the hymn, just as iz all save the heart of that (Croatian folk-song on which Haydn based another noble national hymn, "God Preserve the Emperor." So Purcell retires from the contest. The utmost that his largo and the Scots carol do is to suggest the existence of an even greater original. Whore is that original to he found ? Musical anti quaries who have dabbled in this fas cinating and provoking subject think that the authentic original of the air is to be found in a compositionby John Bull, who was orgenist to James I., in 1611, and played for the unfor tunate James II., in his Catholic cha- pel befor: the abdication, and finally became organist at Antwerp cathedral a position he held until his death. The volume in which this air was contain od has bheéh lost sight of, but fortun ately a copy was made bv the late Sir George Smart. The resemblance to the famous air is remarkable; but even here, there is a marked element of dif ference, for Bull's air ie in the minor and "God Save the King" is mili tantly major. day, on his way to Wilton « y to, buey 'his infdnt child.

WHIG; SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER "16, S------------------------------ A curions addendum to this aspect of the story is the tradition, handed down by Dr. Ame, composer of "Rule Britdunia,"" that "God Save the King," words and music was first sung during the celebration of mass, when James Il, was intriguing for a change in England's relations with Ro me. Thus lies the case. Jt has been thought by some people that an un- known German wrote "God Save the King," Hut no documentary evidence in support of the idea has been pro- duced, whereas a copy of it printed in The Hague in 1768 in a collection of Masonic songs, specifically admits its English origin. Americans have & direct interest in the air of "God Save the Kine." for it is also the air of "America." Its impressiveness will be denied by none. Réethoven included it in his "Rattle" symphony, wrote piane variations on it, and wrote in his dian. "IT just show the English a little what a blessing they have in their 'God Save the King." " Unfortunately he did not live to carry out his intemtion. Weber, however, introduced it into his "Juh- el," overture, and it forms 5 noble chi max to the inspiring work, HAD TO HAND OVER RING. S-- The Girl Refused to Act Honor- ably. According. to a decision of John R. Daniels, of San Francisco, says the Law Student, engagement rings must be returned when young women decide to recall their promises to marry. Mise Flora Lewis. of that city, has been compelled to hand over to her ex-fiance, B. M. Elsner, the glittering solitaire with which their love was pledged, when they decided, some months ago, that life would hold no joy for either of them unless they could travel side by side. Not very long after their engagement, Miss Lewis, for some ~ reason undisclosed, reached the conclusion that she did not love Elsner sufficiently to marry him, 'and she =o informed him. He gallantly released the young lady from her promise, but demanded the return of the ring which he had given her at the time of their engagement. This would seem to have been a perfectly proper request on his part, for no self respecting voung women ought to wish to retain any memento of a broken Judge engagement, but Miss Lewis did not look at the matter in that light and refused the request, whereupon Mr. Elsner brought suit to compel her to hand over the ring. The voung wom- an, it appears, proposed to sell the ring and give the proceeds to char ity, In deciding 'the case; Judge Daniels is said to have found only three cases in point. One was in Ver- mont, where a young man had given his promised bride money with which to buy a ring. When the engagement was broken the lady refused to give up the money, but was compelled to do so by law. The other two cases were decided in the English courts, one of them a century and a hali ago In hig decision Judge Duniels said "KFlsner did not give the ririg to the defendant to win her favor, but in considiretion of her engagement to conform to a custom long in vogue in souling the ties of wn engagement with a ring. When the defendant broke the engagement the eonsidera tion failed, and the gift conditional upon marriage should have been re turned." Miss Lewis expresses a termination to carry the case to the highest courts in the hope of obtain ing a reversal. We do not think it probable she will succeed. Judge Dan tele' decision perfectly sound on legal as moral grounds. In considering the principles involved in this case, note that broke the to us well. as Seems students should the young gement to marry. We therefore subm to the law debating societies, for it will: appar ently be a long time before they will get before the real courts, the ques tion of ownership of the ring in the following cases 1.

Spédial to the Whig Philadelphia, Pa., Septem The Katahdin, the famous ram structed after designs made by Ad miral Ammen, and which for a long time has been lying idle at the League Island pavy yard, is gradually falling to pieces. The navy department is in a quandary concerning the ship's fu- ture and it is doubtful whether the £2,000 required to make the most necessary repairs on the ship will be allowed. The naval constructors and others have heen examining the ship with a view to ascertaining whether it is possible to convert it to practical use, but it is so constructed for the purpose of ramming in 4 naval engagement, that the removal of this principal characteristic would more than the «hip would be worth withoiit the novel structural function of defence. It was realized early that thé Katahdin was a failure and it was decided that as little as possible would be done with the ship. As no- body wants the ship and nothing can be made of it, it is not considered wise to expend anv nihney for keeping it afloat. For that reason it is guite probable that the Katahdin, at time a famous ship, will be allowed to crumble to pieces in the graveyard of the navy at League Island, The con some cost one Driving Out Dullness.
