A Romance of the Violln. The history of musicians and singers is often a romance and a dizzy ascent from the depths of poverty to the heights of wealth and luxury. ready on tho first rounds of the golden lad- der, is Theresa Tun, a young Italian girl, says the correspondent of the New York L'aenr’ny Post. She is thirteen years of", and yet has a'riudy fakcri llrc first prize for the violin at the Paris Conservatory. She had twenty-four competitors from sixteen to fwent “five years of age, but received the prize y the unanimous consent of nine of the bent masters in Paris. The success of this musical rodigy is due chiefly to her father, a bric layer of Turin. He earned fifty cents aday, but out of this sum, by laying aside one cent dail , saved two dol- lars and bought an old vio in. Without in- struction and with only his natural love of music to guide him he finally succeeded in pla’lying a number of tunes. be long evenings after his daily toil were all thus in digging, as it wure, from the violin the melodies that he remembered. At last, music mad, he placed the Violin and the bow in the hands of his little daughter six years old and said: " D.) as I do." The child obeyed, and was soon able to play for better than her father. The indefatigable bricklayer then said to his wife: “ You must learn the guitar." “But I have no guitar, and I cannot play." These objec- tions were useless, arid the mother, urged on by her inexorable music-loving husband, could at last play a discreet accompaniment to the violin of ’l‘lrcri-sa. The three then went from city to city playing in the cafes and hotels, and the father saved money onou h totako thim to Paris. A lady of Nice ‘vo him a letter to Monsieur Massart, director of the Conservatory. who immedi- ately perceived the astonishing talents of the child. llero begins the romance of the story, for the father had no more money, and how was the little family to live during the four years necessary for Theresa’s in- struction! Monsieur Massart, like Alsddi in the story, rubbed his golden lamp, and ten obedient gentlemen ris )oadcd by giving him each six dollars mout l for hisprolr- gas. The result of their li crality and of Monsieur Mas-art's instruction is that the tax-bricklayer ’l‘ua has been offered by an enterprising American the expenses of him- _self, his wife pad the young violinist, for a rind of five years, and forty thousand dol- rs beside. lIc, however, thinks it is not enough, and hesitates to accept the offer. .â€"_â€"â€"â€"<”>â€"_â€"â€".â€" A Cm enreun Operation.

Few young brides have such a flavour of antiquity surrounding [their weddings as there was about the recent wedding of the daughter of Major Ben Parley Poorc, Miss Miss Alice Poore, to Mr. Frederick Mese~ ley.

A Useful Mold. Although English people are almost as well known to the Parisian: as to Londoners, oc- casionally a story of the traditional hautcur of milords and miladies finds its way into a French newspaper. In one of them I read the other day that a milady had entered a Post Office to buy a stamp. Having pur- chased it, she turned to her maid, who was standing behind her, and made a sign. The maid at once put out her tongue, over which the milsdy lightly passed the stamp, and then affixed it to her letter. Mrs. A. T. Stewart. Mrs. A. T. Stewart is back in New York from Saratoga, and is reported by a corres- pondent to be animated and jovial, and to have an extensive Wardrobe, including more than a hundred gowns of the latest mode for morning, evening, walking, driving, break- fast, Iunchcon, dinner, reception, theatre, opera, party, etc. She is evidently renew- ing her youth, for she is over 80. During her husband’s life she was kept in the back- ground, and was rarely ever in society, with or without him She is a queer-looking lit- tle woman, and is respected as being very kind and benevolent, giving generously, both publicly and privately. A worthy per- son always receives a hearing from her, and she gives without ostentatlon. She enter. terns handsomely when at Saratoga, where she has a splendid suite of apartments. She drives out often in a neat coupe with two superb chestnuts, and coachman and foot- man in dark green. She is continually troubled with inquiries regarding Stewart's body, and Stewart dead seems to attract more attention than Stewart alive ever did. Badly Marked. The other day the reporter of a Lcadville paper and one of the best-known medical practitioners of Leadville were talking over odd episodes, in business, when the man of pills and plaster said : "I think, to tell the truth, I had the most singular experience of my whole professions career. the other day." “ \"hat was it, doctor 2" “ Well, I'll tell you, leaving out all names, for I expect the party will be recog- nized anyhow. It was just this : " The middle part of last week one of the best young ladies of LeadvilIeâ€"â€"she's sweet as a peach. too,â€"came to my office in the evening, told me, in a great deal of embar- rassment, that she wanted me to help her out of some trouble.

The question as to how near a couple can come to being married without actually be ing married has been many times practically answered. There have been hysterical brides in the chancel vainly expecf'ng afalse bridegroom. There have been inconsiderate and even reveugcfnl brides who have seen- dalizcd the cler ruins and the witness with a final “ No ’ when the service was in progress. There have been forgetful clergya men and belated certificates of -authority. But perhaps the narrowest escape from ma. trimony yet recorded is reported from Ly- ons, in France. It seems that the bride and the groom were charmingly agreed, not only in the affairs of the heart, but of the pocket, for she Wu an heiress. There had been harmonious family meétings under the civil code, and no disturbance of the harmony at the preliminary lunches. The contract had been arranged at the notary’s ofiicc. The day had arrived for the civil marriageâ€" which is, under the law of the republic, the binding one,-â€"in the morning, and for the blessings of the priests at the cathedral altar in the afternoon. The parties were before the mayor, and what a Chicago lawyerbefore adivorce jury called the “fatal question,” had been duly asked of each and duly an- swered, whereupon the mayor had tendered his personal as well as his official congratula- tions, and had placed before them the attests ing document which, when signed, made them lawfully man and Wife. At this mo ment entered a telegraphic messenger, R- U. E. The couple paused, pens in hands, the witnesses looked amazed, and the mayor dropped his spectacles in a nervous fit as he handed the message to the bride's father. Thus the message i “ Monsieurâ€" has al- ready been married in Germany, and his wife lives. Vouchers are on the .ay to you by post.” The mayor postpones the authen. lication for a week, as is his duty under the civil code when a warning comes. The week passes, and no vouchers coins. Everybody agrees if; was the trick of a. wretched and mean rivalâ€"everybody excepting the bride, who had been pondering over the telegram, and, to the surprise of all, believed it. She sends back the diamond ring, the silver can~ dlcsticks, the gold-mounted priedieu. and the almost mother-in-law’s ivory-bound bre- viary, and annuls the settlements. The juge do paix of Lyons and the mayor hold a con- sultation with the lawyers and the notary, when it is unanimously agreed that the couple, as the English peasantry put it, were not a couple but a pair. The groom, resuming his condition as bachelor, has searched for the sender of the telegram, only to be made aware, without getting a clue to identity, that it was paid for by “ a veiled woman in black." >0..-Qâ€"â€"_ Our Girls. If our girls are not the very best girls that ever exrsted, it is not on account of not hav- lng sufficient attention bestowed upon them. We Speak not now of the attention which they receive from those of the opposite sex, about their own age, but of the innumerable inventors, male and female, who exhaust their energies in inventing theories for their {JhYsicaL mental, and moral, improvement. f every one of them does not develop into an Amazon, capable of wielding the spear of a Goliath, it will not be the fault of sundry strong-minded, elderly spinstcrs who, whether they have made much of them- selves or not, are intent upon perfecting the women of the coming generation. In- deed, at times, one is almost appalled at the vision which arises before the mind as it looks into the future, of the gigantic, raw- boned, and muscular, womanhood which is to take the place of the embodiment of fem- enine charms, which we have in the mothers, the wives, the sisters, “ the cousins and tho aunts ” of this and past generations, Their intellect withal is not to be neglected. Every one of them is to be a ” blue stock- ing.” The culture of the taste and feeling, which has heretofore filled so large a space in the education of girls, is to give place to a sort of intellectual training, which shall fit her to enter the list with man, as a com- petitor, for those prizes which have hereto- fore been supposed to be only within the reach of the ran her sex. \Vith her hard- ened muscle, an enlarged brain, why should she not take her place beside man in all the activities of life, and share with him to the fullest cxtentin all its honours and emolu- ments? \Vhy should men be permitted to monopolize the position of policemen, stand- iu at our street corners, in more or less spiendid uniforms, where their duties could be done quite as well, or better, by women quite as strong, and courageous as they are. Alread , there are a few of them doctors, and haf a dozen of themâ€"more or lessâ€" ministers l \Vhy should they not be lawyers and legislators 2 And should they not be permitted to lead armies, and to serve iu‘the ranks, to act as ship-masters, and to serve before the mast. The fact is, women is com- ing to the front, The brutality of man has crowded her into an inferior position long enough, but when the girls of the present become women, things will be difi‘erent, and the time may come, when some female City Commissioner will have an army of women under her, cleaning the streets. The age of gold will come. >9004 An Apple With a. History. Seeing that a number of localities are boasting of their largo potatoes, large a plea &c., it will not be out of place for Mi land to boast too, this is the more-excusable as in addition to the size of the apple there is con- nected with it a quite a history. The apple in question is one left on our table by Mr. Charles Ross. clerk of Tay. The apple was grown from a little shoot taken from aclump of apple sprouts, found at the old fort. In the year 1868 when Mr. Bruncau settled on the lesuit lot, No.16, 3rd con., Tay, it was then covered with a dense forest, not having been occupied for 270 years, that isfrorn the date of'the massacre of the whites by the In- dians, to the year 1868. Mr. Brnncau found evidence of the site of an old orchard by clumps of up Is sprouts at regular intervals, these shoots ave since then grown two or three years and then died out and have thus done since the above date, but in some cases the farmers have removed these sprouts to their farms and they have invariably grown to fine proportions and are now yielding fine fruit, as the sample furnished by Mr. Ross is a line specimen. Evidently of the winter variety, measuring I35 inches in circumfer~ ence, it is in color a dark red, very firm and of line flavor. That these trees have, for the last 300twa the greater portion of that time in emidat of a forest, rved their vitality is a marvel in hortico ture. ~â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"*‘.9~Oâ€"-â€" Nuiusu theatre audiences are uncon- ventional in their conductâ€" At Ia'ncoln, while John T.

TE CITY OF VERA CRUZâ€"RUNNING THE BIDCKADE -l.\'CARCERATKD IN FORT LAPA"mE~â€"â€" IN THE SERVICE OF THE CCBAN I'ATRIO'IS â€"PEACEI’UL PERSUI'IS ASHORE. p ‘ Frank Marsh Harris, first officer of the lost steamer City of Vera Cruz, who was rted as having been rescued, bad a remarkable history. He was the son of Dr. Francis Lee Harris, who was Health Officer of the Port of New York, twenty years ago, after distinguishing himself as a famous surgeon and as a Democratic politi- cian in the city of New York. Before he removed to New York Dr. Harris was a physician in good practice in Savannah, Ga. His first wife, the mother of Capt. Harris, was a Livingston, and was descended from Herrmann Kean, of Kean Manor, in Eliza- beth, N. J. Frank, the onlyvson by this marriage, who was born in 1832, early be- trayed a love of the sea, and shipped on a schooner from Savannah when he was only His family had sufficient interest to obtain for him an appointment as midshipinan in the navy, and in 1852 he sailed with Commander Perry on the im taut expedition which resulted in the open- ing of the Japanese ports by the treaty of 1854. After the return of the expedition he resigned from the navy, and went into the coasting trade once more in command of a He was running a schooner from Restigouche, N.B., to South America when the war broke out, and services to the Confederate Government. His first employment was the command of a gunboat in the celebrated Roanoke expedi- tion, in which young Wise, son of Governor \Vise, was killed. Capt. Harris being known to the naval authorities of the Confederacy to have a perfect acquaintance with the At- lantic coast, his next service was in running the blockade to and from the harbour of He sailed thence on the steamer Virgo, under another officer, and brought her back loaded, in safety. made several voyages afterward with im- punity, and earned a high reputation as a skilful and daring seaman. The gentleman who was first officer in his blooade running enterprises is now Captain of to a steamer in the employ of J. IV. Quin- rd, 6r, Co. His second officer became as- sociated with him by a queer occurrence. Capt. Harris was lying at Nassau, N. P., waiting for a favourable opportunity to run into Charleston harbour. the streets he saw a man, who was evident y Strolling throu h an American sesman, in the chain gang. "\Vhal; have you done,” he asked, “to be punished in this manner 2" “ Oh, I thrash- ed a. nigger and threw him off the whar ,” was the reply. “The sentence was $900 fine or three months in the chain gang. I had no money, and hero I am.” Captain Harris sought out the Judge, dpaid the fine, and the seaman was liberate He was 'a native of Baltimore, of ‘good family, an edu- cated man, and a sympathizer with the Confederacy. Hence he readin accepted the offer of Capt. Harris to take the position of second officer of the blockade runner. He, too, is now commander of a steamer running out of the port of New York, and is not afraid to tell how Capt. Harris released him from the chain gangin Nassau. In 1863 Capt. Harris was captured in the Kingfisher, in which he had made several successful trips to Charleston. He was tak- ing the course which he had followed suc- cessfully before, but found himself at day- break undcr the guns of a Federal gunboat. To save the lives of his crew he thought it best to surrender at discretion, and was carried to Fort Lafayette in double irons. The better to av be prosecute his dan erous ocation in safety, Capt. Harris ha gone fore the British Board of Admiralty in London, passed an examination, and received his papers as a British shipmaster. So it was with some colour of authority that he presented his papers to Colonel Burke, com- manding Fort Lafayette, and. demanded his release as a British seaman, taken off a Bri- tis h vessel. An exciting episode of his prison life was related by himself. It came to the ears of his father, who had, in the mean time, be- come Health Officer Harris of the Port of New York, that Frank was a prisoner in Fort Lafayette, and he came to visit him. As soon as Col. Burke learned his visitor’s business he hastened up cascmate. he an to Ca t.

In 1860, when the Government of Free Cuba bought a fleet of fast steamers focarry reinforcements and supplies to the Cuban coast, a number of (ex-Confederate officers enlisted in the cause of Cuban liberty.

At sea the name of the Lilian was changed to the Ces- pedcs, after the President of the Cuban Re- ublic, and the Cuban flag was hoisted. Yhen Gen. Goicouria opened his orders he found they were to go to the \Vestern De- partmeut. This at once made dissatisfac- tion among the new recruits, who insisted upon being taken at once to the Enters Department, to which he readin acceded. The Cespedes had been hurried away from Cedar Keys by the approach of the United States vessel Lone Star, under orders to stop the expedition. She had insufficient cos and water for the v0 age. “'hcn two days out it was determiu to land the men on one of the Bahama keys. and take the vessel to Nassau for fuel and water. They were landed accordingly. The Cespedes sailed for Nassau. Her fuel gave out when she was within a a short distance of Nassau, and, coming to anchor, Ca t.

In the mean time the presence of t e Cespedes had been discovered by fishing smacks, and they had notified the Governor of Nassau. Ho detained the schooners thatwere charter- ed by Capt. Harris's messengers, and dos- patched the British vessel La wing to bring the Cespedes into the port 0 Nassau. Capt. Harris kept his Cuban flag flying, and refused to lower it or deliver up his papers at the command of the British Captain when there had been no condemnation and no trial. She was towed up to Nassau, whore Capt. Harris mode written protest to the Governor, and the Cespedes was released, but ordered to leave the port within twelve hours. Capt. Harris asked the privilege of taking on board the coal he had bought, which was denied him. He set fifty men to work with axes and hatchets and demolish- cd his handsome cabins and his upper deck to get sufficient fuel with which to steam out of. port. He had arranged with the Cap- tains of the cooling schooners to meet him a short. distance out of the harbour next morning (Oct. 20). and they did so. But the Lapwing, which had followed closely on the heels of the Cespedcs, opened fire on the schooners, and prevented them from putting their coal aboard, and Capt. Harris was fain to sail back to Nassau. He entered the port With his Cuban flag flying, and the Cespcdes and her cargo were seized in the name of the military authority of the Bahamas, after Ca t. Harris had refused to comply with the or or to leave the harbour. The triumph of the captors of the Cespedes was short lived. They awoke one morning to find her scuttled at her wharf.
