ANNIE LOUISE CARY AS A VoCALIsT.-Oul
national pride is not promoted by the fact that
we have to depend almost entirely upon Europe
for our most finished yocalists; that in the gal
axy of sweet singers that have charmed us with
their melody and gained warm place in our
hearts, SO few are of native birth. We have
Madame Van Zandt, Kellogg, Adelaide Phil
lips, Miss Cary, and very few Others to occu-
Ply the places on the lyric stage. Each has her
favorites, and each has won brilliant triumphs
Without instituting comparisons between the
different artists, we may safely say that the
American people have given Miss Cary posi-
ton fully equal to any of these-nay, she di-
vides the honors with the most famous foreign
singers. 1t will perhaps be remembered that
when Miss Cary first made her appearance with
Nilsson, public sentiment was divided upon the
question which was the greatest artist, very
large, perhaps the largest part of the commune
ty giving Miss Cary the palm as singer, on
account of the richness, purity and rare COM
pass of her voice, her delicious modulation fine
standings, and naive, artless demeanor on the
stage, while all confessed that Nilsson is the
greater actress. One trait in Miss Cary's char
acter entities her to our warmest admiration,
and that is the readiness with which she gives
her great talents to the furtherance of philan-
thropic enterprises. Especially has this trait
been observable during her sojurn in her native
State. Last year she gave, without recompense,
her services in behalf of the fund of the Maine
General Hospital, and she is now under en-
to assist other worthy local organiza-
lions in different parts of the State. Next
Thursday evening she will sing at City Hall in
conjunction with number of our favorite
singers, and has kindly offered to divide the
proceeds of the evening with the Hospital
This generosity ought to be appreciated, and we
have no doubt it will be. The Hospital is an
institution we all onght to take deep interest
in, from personal motives and on the score of
its broad philanthropy. While we have the
good example of Miss Cary and her compan-
ons before us, we should emulate their exer-
ions and make the concert grand Success that

WHAT Horace Greeley said in the New

to-day:

they believed in Lincoln. They consid-
er his administration success as they
considered Lincoln's a success. And
they are right, for Grants administra-
'tion is collecting the revenue and paying

was $2,65O, ,66S,795; and since then it
has been steadily reduced in ever increas-
ing ratio. Yet taxes have not been
increased. On the contrary, special tax

has been more and more lifted from pro-

POLITICAL CLIPPINGS.

Hon. Edward Salomon, formerly gov
ernor of Wisconsin, one of the most hon
orable, independent, and talented men
in the country and representative Ger
man, writes as follows OF Carl Schurz
Il regret for that very reason that he
should have allowed himself to be misled
by his personal animosity against Presi
dent Grant. He owes his position of u.
S. Senator to the Republican party in
Missouri, but so little has he justified
the confidence which that party put In
him, that he allied himself with their
political opponents at the earliest oppor-
tunity. He thus became the instrument
of the arch Democrats, gathering foot
hold by the election of Frank L. Blair.
From that time forward, Carl Schurz
saw that he could expect nothing at the
hands of the Republican party and pre-
pared himself to go over to the Demo-
Gratis. But in order to be able to accom-
plish this feat with ecldt, he endeavored
to surround himself with willing tools.
He lost sight, however, OF the intelll
gence of his German fellow citizens. He
mistook the homage which they paid to
his talents for blind partisanship, and
imagined that they would place uncon-
ditional faith In his wisdom and infalli-
bility. Mr.. SchnrZ, however, was mis-
taken, The German-Americans are IN
the habit of thinking for themselves and
| will not be used as voting cattle, and they
saw that Mr.. Schurz turned his back to
the principles which he formerly advo-
| Gated.
The New York Tribune says that
''noise and lying cannot deceive the
| American people" True, and for proof,
we cite the fact that the Greeley move
ment is dying.
The Minneapolis Tribune says that Mr..
| Doolittle's transaction. as explained by
bimself, IS has more the appearance of
| highway robbery than the reluctant ac
ce ptance of a voluntary gift.
Among the other reformers who now
20 for Greeley, may be counted all the

THE New York Times, that first prin-
ted the Doolittle-Conatty letters, now
challenges Doolittle to deny the charges,
and offers to submit the proof of the au
thenticity of the letters to any committee
that the accused himself may appoint.
But why offer to prove their authenticity
when Doolittle doesn't even deny thas he
wrote them? Hurrah for Reform
How does Senator Doolittle stand be-
fore the public? One newspaper volun-
teers to tell US. The New I ork EUening
Post says that this preacher Of political
reform appears before the public not on
ly as cunning aud conceited hypocrlte,
who writes his own eulogium and gets
another to copy it, but as an avaricious
rascal, who uses his place to replenlsh
bis pockets. 1t does look like that.
