and study music. Surprised, yet
interested, by the eagcrness of the
questioncr, Miss Kellogg answered
eyes," and promised to hear her
after her concert the same evening.
She invited Miss Abbott to 90 in
her carriage to the concert, where
she sat a rapturous listener to the
cantatrice's performance. After
the concert was ended and the audi
ence had left the hall, the young
girlish aspirant went on the plat
form, and in the presence of Miss
Kellogg and her mother, with Max
Strakosch and others of the concert
troupe, she sang several songs, at
fist timidly, bnt then with more
boldness as her confidence in
creased. She felt that this was the
test trial of her life, on which de
ponded her future, and spurred by
the expectation ofa glorious realiza-
tion of her highest hopes, she sang
with all her powers, pouring her
very soul into the notes. The lis
teners were delighted and applaud
ed enthusiastically, while afterward
they praised the young singer in
terms which made her heart flutter
with joy. Her future was now set
tied. The company raised money
enought to pay her fare to New
York, for which city Miss Abbott
left the next day, bearing letters of
introduction from Miss Kellogg to
Ernani, perhaps the best musical
teacher in America, who at once
took her under his instructions, and
to kind friends who gave her a hos
pitable home.
Thenceforth she toilcd terribly
at music, learning 40 p~ges day
by heart, and making the most of
her advantages. She also studied
Italian and neglected no means to
develop her powers. In time a
situation was offered her in the
choir Of a Baptist church, and after
ward at DR.. Chapin's, where she
still remains, having the largest
salary of any singer in a Protestant
church in the city. She has been
in New York two years and has
almost daily gained greater pro6ci-
ency and praise. Only few
months since, Nilsson went to hear
her sing in church, and, after the
service was over, she warmly grasp
ed the young sopranos hand and
exclaimed, "You can sing as we'll as
| can; there are golden ducats in
your voice." Praise such as this is
praise indeed. Miss Abbott has
sung quite often in concerts during
her stay in the city. Her last ap-
pcarance was at the 6lst birthday
of Horace Greedy, where she was
warmly applauded and made quite
an impression by her performance.
The sage of Chappaqua is great
admirer Of her singing, and
specially desired her presence on
that occasion.
Such is a round, unvarnished
recital Of Miss Abbott's romantic
history, which is certainly full of
interest, but not more so than the
sweet singer herself, from whom I
have heard most of the particulars
here detailed. Her frank, engaging
manner, childish naivetc and fresh,
piquant spirit is pleasing to every
one, land it is no wonderthat she is so
general a tavorite. May fortune
smile on her future, and add to the
golden opinions she has already
Won from SO many persons.

Dead Heads.

1t is common for certain classes
of people to look npon newspaper
Editors as "dead-heads" par e.rceH-
ence. But the truth is, there is no
class of people SO remorselessly and
continuously tilched from and i'm
posed upon by dead-headism in
myriad shapes, than these very news
paper Editors themselves. We will
give an instance or two, by way Of
illustration.
There is the man who has paten-
ted new sort of thingumbob for
"rcgulating" the heat Of stoves.
He comes to us with 4 specimen
of his thingumbob, and tells us it is
the greatest blessing ever invented;
it will save lots of money for poor
people; only let it get into general
use, and the community will rise up
and call him blessed. He wants us
to publish his invention through
our columns for nothing; he posters
us with it, till we are strongly temp
ted to rise up and call him the re-
verse of blessed, and show him the
door. However, We don't; we are
too goodnatured and too overwhelm-
ingly polite. We don't even tell
him he is dcad-head.
There are the associations that
get up schemes for benevolent pur-
poses. Of course the Editor must
do their advertising for nothing; it
"won't cost him anything" to give
them free notice. Perhaps he
obligcs them, and perhaps he shows
them his advertising rates. Some
of them are no doubt very excellent
people, and really believe them
selves in the right. Whatever else
they are, however, they are dead
heads.
There are the temperance socic-
ties and missionary associations,
and moral-retorm agencies, and
associations for the furnishing of
the Hottentots with flannel drawers
ani cod-liver oil. "Can you ask us
to pay you for advcrtising?" "Can
You refuse to put in our notices Of
meetings, and SO on, and have the
hardihood to ask us formoncy when
the poor Hottentots are perishing
with cold?" Certainly not, dear
dcad-hcads. Fetch on your notices;
We will print them, provided they
are not too long; but remember you
are dead-hcads.
There is the man who is "regu-
lar subscriber, sir" and replcnishes
our cxchequcr to the tune of possi-
bly, ten cents a year, profit on his
Republican, who gets married and
wants us to advertise him for moth
img-who loses his great-uncle and
wants us to give him ten dollars
worth of obituary notice for moth
ing. He would not be more COM
plete dcad-hcad il he was where his
great-unclc is. And we can't obligc
Rim.
There is no use in continuing the
catalogue however. We would be
right glad to trade off all our dead
head '1privileges" in return for ex-
emption from the dead-hcadism of
those who "cheek it" on us. Some
day people will learn that Editors,
like doctors, shoemakers, and other
men, do business for a DOING
Lyons Republican.

LOUISVILLE, March 2l.-The Ohio Car
Works, situated near the southern lndi-
ana penitentiary, in Jefersonyille, Ind,
and one Of the largest manufacturing
establishments of railroad cars in the
United States, was totally destroyed by
FIRE yesterday afternoon. The fire orig
mated from spark from the smoke
stack Of the boiler-shop, it being blown
into pile of shavings under the floor OF
the planning and saving mills. The hre
had been burning some time before it
was discovered. The workmen's atten-
tention was called to it by the smoke
coming through the floor. They cut
holes in the floor intending to thus ex-
tinguish it, but there being very heavy
gale blowing, this only gave vent to the
fire and famed it into an uncomfortable
fury. The men were driven from the
shop by the smoke and flames, which
spread rapidly to the other shops. The
buildings being all of wood were easily
ignited, and soon the entire works we're
in blaze.
Seven hundred workmen struggled
manfully to master the flames, but their
efforts were greatly impaired through
the insufiicieney of water and buckets
Three steam FIRE engines from Jefferson
vile we're promptly on hand, and Louis
vile sent fourth to help subdue the
FIRE, but the terrific wind and the inAam-
mable material which the FIRE encoun-
tered on every side, gave it such head
way that it soon caused the entire de-
struction of the companys works. The
workmen, with few exceptions, lost all
their tools. An immense amount of val
liable lumber and machinery was de-
stroyed. In fact, so sudden was the
disaster that many workmen barely es-
capped with their lives. One man Is
missing.
Sixteen new passenger coaches, near
ly ready to leave the shops, were de-
stroyed. The capacity Of the works
were six hundred cars per month, and
when destroyed they had orders for two
thousand FIVE hundred cars from differ
ent railroads throughout the country.
The capital invested in shops, material,
machinery, etc., was over 100000
They have lost at least 100000. and

WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, Marck 2l.-The Senate
Naval Committee have reported bill
for the relief Of the officers and crew Of
the United States ship Wyoming, which
vindicated our flag in the harbor Of Yo-
kohamo, in 1863, in a combat with pirat
ical vessels, which she destroyed. The
indemnity paid by the Japanese Govern
ment was the result Of the good conduct
ofthe officers and crew Of the Wyoming,
and this bill provides that they shall be
compensated out Of this fund as a
reward for their yalor.
The Japanese ambassadors, during
their short residence in Washington,
have managed to dispatch much bust
ness, and to night Vice-Ambassadors
Okubo and Ito, accompanied by their
Secretary, left for San Francisco, from
whence, on the lst of April, they sail for
Japan. They are the bearers of draft
Of a protocol for new treaty with the
United States, which is to be submitted
to the Japanese Government for APP
proval, and they expect to return to
Washington in the latter part of May
with authority to carry into effect the
protocol here agreed on by the embassy.
The rest of the ambassadors will remain
in this city until their business is com
pleted.
The friends of Judge Davis authorize
the publication of the following state
ment: The Judge accepted the Colum-
bus nomination in telegraphic dispatch,
which has been widely published. He
has held no other correspondence on
that subject, public or private. He has
not sought by any agency whatever, and
will not seek the nomination of any con-
vention for the Presidency, and he de-
clines to enter into any political CORE
spondence or arrangements concerning
his nomination. His position is mainly
this: If people who seek to bring about
reform in government, who favor am
nesty for political offenses, a cordial res
toration of the Union in all its integrity,
the supremacy of civil over military pow
err, hostility to Capitalization, desire him
to represent them as candidate for the
Presidency, he will accept.

swIndIIag Railroad Ticket Agents
and Conductors.

oTTUxwA, Iowa, March 2l.-There is
much excitement among the officials and
employees Of the Burlington and Mis-
souri, River railroad all along the line,
from Burlington to Council Bluffs,
caused by the ferreting out of bold and
successful conspiracy between ticket
agents and conductors for swinding the
company out Of the money received for
passengers fares. The station agents
would sell tickets to passengers without
stamping the date on them, and the con-
ductors would collect these tickets with
out putting a eaneeling punch into
them, aud then return them to the sta
ton agents to be sold again. The agents
and conductors divided the money. The
officers Of the road employed detectives
to ferret out the affair, and the result is
that several Of the principal agents and
conductors have been arrested and
others discharged.

The Sage of the New York Tribune,
and candidate for the Presidency, gives
his opinion of the Southern cavalier, in
the Tribune of the 18th inst, from which
it is clear that Greeley's Southern trip
did not relieve him Of that prejudice so
common in his section OF the country.
But listen to Greeley:
We have heard for years and years Of
the superiority of the Southern cavalier
to the shop-keeper and mudsill of the
North; but just where that superiority
lay, and what were its causes, we were
never quite able to understand. We
know now-one Of those cavaliers, a
regular high tone gempleum," has been
so good as to furnish the information in
lecture. 1t was individuality that did
tan intense and gorgeous individual
ity-cultivated by the ownership of black
men, stable and political equality among
the white ones, and the perennial love OF
the perfection of her sex-the South
ern woman" The absence Of social
equality was another thing that made
them noble-a thing which. as this lee.

of the race that every feeling Of modestyr
honor and manliness revolts at it. What
a pity it is that our groveling, ignorant
