CalTe Sayn They Have the Charac teristic of the Conquering; Race. Mine. Emma Calve contributes u pa per ou the "Couqueriug Kuce Iu Music'' to Tho .Ladies' Hume Journul, in which slip specially addresses students of vocal riiu-oo. tfhe tells of the training re quired for the operatic aud the concert stajje, tho impersonntion ( cliaractcr, the value of suggest kms, etc., and pays thi- tribute to Americans: "The Amer icans have, it seems to me, iu the field of music, and especially in the field of vocal music, all of the characteristics of tho conquering race. They are pos sessed naturally of t he most exquisite voices, which, when properly cultivated and trained, are almost unrivaled. They have indomitable energy, perseverance anil pluck. They stop at nothing and are deterred by uo trouble and prevented by no obstacle. "Poverty, weariness, exertion, hard woi'k Done of these living specters which affright and terrify tbe average art worker baa terrors for them. Their physique aud their temperament seem mr.de for toil and to surmount discour agement, and the success which they arc daily achieving, iu the field of both opratic and concert singing, is testimo ny to their natural fitness for accom pli -hment and to their ability to excel. They seem, in fact, to be most lavishly fitted by nature for the parts tbey are assuming. To these gifts of voice, ener gy, pluck and perseverance they fre quently add a beauty of face and grace of form and movement which the pub lic recoguizes aa most important factors iu the success of the singer's career. Thy have, too, the temperament which mnkes great artists and great actresses, the artistic feeling which has for its Standard perfection and which is sat isfied with nothing less." His FLrat Story. A certain author, now well known to fame and fortune, onco in tho "battle for bread," wrote a wild Indian story for a northern story paper. That was 12 years ago, and to the story he gave his real came. He received a fat check for it, but year after year went by and the story never appeared. It finally passed from his remembrance, uutil the other day, when be received a letter from the publishers informing him that it would shortly put in an appearance iu serial form. That made the author nervous, and he forthwith sent the following tel egram : "Suppress story and return manu script and will pay three times amount of original chock. " The publishers replied: "Can't do it. We know a good thing when we have it. The story is in your best vein. " Letter after letter, telegram after tele gram passed, but no, he didu't have mouey enough to buy that story. So he has written to all his friends aud critics and has explained the circumstances and now awaits as cheerfully as possible the weekly slaughter of the red Indians of Ida youthful brain. Atlanta Consti tution. A Stubborn Genius. Robert Chambers told me he yvasonce talking with a man of real, rugged gen ins, who came to a sorrowful end. He said to the genius: "The population of this world is about 1,200,000,000 hu man beings. The little religious body to v. bich you belong contaius perhaps 800.000. Of that number not 800 could givo an intelligent account of its creed. Yet you think its creed sets out vital matters. Is it consistent with your be lief that God Almighty would permit Just 800 of bis creatures to kuow those things aud keep all the millions igno rant of them?" The genius considered for a minute's space, then replied, "Yes, I thiuk it quite right that Cod should do that. " Whereupon the good RoLert Chambers said very resolutrly, "Then I'm tremendously sorry for you. " And he never epoko to the genius save on transient incidents any more. Long man's Magazine.

By a mutual agreement the Republic an representatives elect of Indiana may partially abandon the congressman's time honored prerogative of having poet maste rs of his recommendation ap pointed in his district. The postmasters will, if the plan is correctly reported, be elected by their fellow townsmen. The patrons of a given office, presuma bly women as well as men, will at a stated time vote for their choice for postmaster, and the congressman will recommend for appointment the indi vidual getting the most votes. This is a wholly fair and just way of selecting a postmaster, and it is in accord with the spirit of American institutions to let the people selec t their own officers. Like a sunbeam upon a stormcloud beams always a kindly, graceful action iu this hard, grinding world. Such an act wa.s that of King Oscar of Sweden and Norway, who erected u monument at Bergen to mark the spot where Mr. and Mrs. D. D. Youmans, American citizens, lo-t their lives last summer. The monument bears the names, home and date of death of tlie two travelers, with underneath the beautiful, touching words, "Clod's grace be with them."

While hi t fin in my quarters m tho lime town of Chattanooga about an houralttr nightfall on tho evening i f Friday, Oct. 23, 1SG3, an orderly biougiit me a message from Gem ral George H. Thomas, commander of thu Army of the Cumberland, on whoso stall' I was serving, summoning rfT" to headquarters. A storm had been raging for y.vo days, and a chilling rain was still falling. A few minutes' walk brought me to the plain wooden, one Etory dwelling occupied by the com mander, which was situated ou Walnut street, near Fourth, aud upon my ar rival I found him in the front room on the left side of the hall, with thro members of his staff and several strange officers. In au armchair facing the fireplace was seated a general officer, slight in figure and of medium stature, who?e face bore an expression of weariness. He was carelessly dressed, and his uni form coat was unbottoned aud thrown back from his chest. He held a lighted cigar in Lis mouth and sat in a stoop ing posture, with his head bent slightly forward. His clothes were wet, and his trousers and topboots wero spattered with mud. General Thomas approached this officer, and, turning to mo aud mentioning me by name, said, "I want, to present you to General Grant." Thereupon the officer seated in the chair, without changing his position, glanced up, extended his arm to its full length, shook hands and said in a low voice and speaking slowly, "How do you tic?' ' This was my first meoring with the man with whom I was des tined afterward to spend so many of the most iuteri sting years of my life. Tiie strange officers present wero members of General Grant's staff. Charles A. Dana, assistant secretary of war, who hacl been for some, time with the Army of the Cumberland, had also entered the room. Tho next morning he sent a dispatch to tho war department, beginning with the words, "Grant ar rived last night, wet, dirty and well."

Coming toward her the ubiqui tous man who rescues damsels in dis tress. Just as these two met on tho muddy crossing the young woman drop ped her pocketbook in the mud. It fell open, aud the usual assortment of thim bles, pennies, scissors, samples and dimes was scattered broadcast. "Allow me," said tie young man, and the owner of the pocketbook blush ed becomingly and allowed him to go down on his knees in the mud to rescue her possessions. When he had picked up the rolling dimes and pennies and re stored them with the other articles to the purse, ho saw that she was still un easy. "Is anything missing?'' he asked so licitously. "No. That is, nothing but a penny. " ''Ob," aud lifting bis hat he walked on, not having received 60 much as n "thank you" for the service. But then she was very pretty. There is a climax to this story. When tho young woman had ceased looking for lost property, she went on her way, and the street gamin darted acrc-s tiie 6treet from his pest of observation, and in a moment he had found that io.it penny under the stone where he saw it roll, and as ho walked away v. i i h it hidden iu his cheek buro -r wouldn't have melted iu his month.

The smallest coal mine in the world ia in the southern province of Mew Zea land, where, according to the reports of the inspectors of miues for the colony, the Murray Creek colliery is worked by one man, T.

The gentle Elsie sat drearily in the gloaming in the front room. She was very miserable, for on the previous night she had had words with her own, and now she fears her haughty Harold will net call. She hears a step, a ring, a voice she knows, and some ono speaking to the servants in the hall. She will not wait until a light is brought, but gently calls, "Come iu. " The visitor enters, aud, with a sigh of awful volume the fair Elsie casts her self into his arms aud softly murmurs: "Oh, my darling, I am so glad you have come. I have so wanted to make it up and settle. " And ho of the embrace remarked: "Well, miss, it's very nice of you, and I'm very glad, too, that you're go ing to settle up at last.
