Ny DEAR SlR.-At the Re
publican National Convention held at

surances that you would give MS a few

cd hereafter: keokuk, Fort Madison,
Burlington, Muscatine, Davenport,

Grcgor, Lansing, Cedar Rapids, Coun-
Gil Bluffs, and De, Moines. As you
have never addressed the people of our
State, we are extremely anxious to
hear you on the great questions of the
day No man can do greater service
to the Republican party in this State
than yourself, and while we are aware
that with us the aquestion is merely
one Of majority, we are DESTROYS 20
make that majority as large as possi-
bic. For this reason l hope you will
find it consistent with your other en-
gagements to fulfill the promise you

We can scarcely hone to convey an idea
of Marie's feeling upon her first night at
the opera.
She WAS a child of senius with all the
delicate taste. the sentiment and warm.
glowing feelings which genius usuallv he
stows.
As the immense room of varied faces and
rich dresses. under flood of dazzling LIGHT
burst upon her vision, she paused. took one
full view. closed her ewes a moment tn
hush the wild throbbings of her heart and
passed on 10 her seat murmuring To her
father: -i s,.t ...,
"Papa, oh, papa how brilliantls
The curtain arose; her artistic eve at
once took in the rich scenery with which
the stage was decked, and she was lean
ing forward, catching every figure and out.
line, when the prima donna came upon the
stage. Show beautiful" she calculated
in an almost breathless whisper, and
her soul bowed in homage before
the lovely woman; and as her voice rolled
out the notes higher and higher, Mare's
spirit seemed to float away and watt upward
with the music until she knew naught but
the ecstacy of that rich melody. As the
voice sweet and trembling, died out with
the last notes, Marie breathed heavily and
leaned upon her seat for support. Old
Grevot felt the Inspiration of former days
glide into his soul as he looked upon his
daughters beaning face, and there flowed
from his violin such sounds of human de-
light or human woe, as stirred the audience
to its deepest depths, and filed the actors
with an inspiration which commanded the
house at their will.
The opera was almost over, the evening
wasabout closing, complete success, when
in the last scene of the final act.
the prima donna advanced in front
of the foot lights, sang a song
which, brought down the house with
applause and turned N face an actor od-
vancing to reply to her, swept the tissue
fabric Of her dress across the lights and
drew them away in a full blaze. A rush of

angel mother smiling down upon her: Soon
. sense Of al unseen presence peryAdins
the room filed her soul, the air became
sweet and bSlmy as the breath Of
freshly blooming Aowers. It passed
across her heated brow and expec-
tant fancy, felt the shadowy form
bend low and her slight frame thrilled with
an almost unearthly ecstacy as she was con-
scious of gentle pressure upon the weary
little head as Of an unseen hand, and her lips
were touched as if the petal of a rose given
to the breeze and waited in at the open win
dow, had rested there an instant.
The little arms reached out into open
space and sank again in sad disappoint-
ment toher side; q few gentle soothing tears
escaped the silken lsshes and in another mo-
ment she was sleeping as calmly, as ssftly
as a healthy babe.
Marie's room, amid that old ruin, was like
an oasis in desert, the more beautiful for
the contrast. and the rising sun was casting
an amber light throughout it which was deep
ened by the hue from the rose colored walls
and reflected in food of soft, rich,
peculiar light upon the snowy bed
and white drapery of the windows
as Marie swoke refreshed, with the light of
gladness, and young life filling her whole
being, and as she stepped lightly about the
room her mind was possessed with the idea
that at the French Opera she would find
what she so much desired-the means fire.
lieving her father. Her nature was one that
brooked no delay when her plans were once
settled, and she at once set to work devising
an entrance to the Opera. @
"Father, do you know that will be six
teen tonight and never yet have seen an
opera? would rather celebrate this night
by attending the Opera with you for the
first time than by all the modes of diversion
and pleasure your kind love has heretofore
presented me upon these occasions

taking you, petite belle, but it has
been SO sweet to have you all TO

long as you were contented and happy, out

childhood in one night. Oh, what music
