AMERICANS AS MUSICIANS.
Mine. 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

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

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.

Hie Latter's First Meeting With His Sub
sequent Chief.
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."

Her Loss Ilig Gain.
Dramatis persona, a small f.trcrt
gamin leaning idly against a tree, t hi
the opposite side cf the street a, young
woman carrying her pocket book in her
hand. 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

Coal Mine Worked by One Man.
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. Bolitlio, a Chinaman, who
owns, manages and works this small
but to him valuable coal mine. There
is another small colliery in tho same
province worked by one mau with tha
assistance of a donkey. The next small
est colliery is in England, in the village
of Nelson, in Lancashire. It is situated
near the Colliers' Arms and affords
employment for two miners, father and
son, who combine in themselves the
positions of proprietors, managers,
miners aud haulers of the undertaking.

and all the output of the mine is sold
to the householders who live in the vil

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. "

"That so?" mechanically replied the
man who was trying to get away.
"You never saw such a sense of pro
