A MUSICAL GEN1us.-Away up on
the eastern slope of Big Savage, about
two miles from Frostburg, lives Mr..
John F. Tagen, with a small family
including his wife and son, William.
The last named is about seventeen
years old, but already famous in these
parts as musical prodigy-famous
more for the extent and lofty charac-
ter of his music than for the variety
of instruments employed. There are
several in the house, but the large and
splendid Chickering Piano is almost
exclusively his pet. Several hours Of
every day are spent in practising new
and perfecting old pieces. The class
ic compositions of Beethoven, Mozart,
Mendellssohn, List, ETC., are es-
pecially his studies, and his ready
rendition of any of them is remarka-
BILE. Coming down to the novelties of
more modern music he is quite as
def, ready and accommodating. The
familiar music box" banjo" "guitar,"
and other limitations, are equal to the
best. In battle and st orm he revels
as one commanding the siege and di-
recting the winds and clouds. 1t may
be said without exaggeration that he
is master of six thousand pieces, in
Guiding mainly the finest classics of
musical composition. His studies
and practice have been pursued about
four years, and his father designs he
shall continue them about four years
more. Then it will be determined
how his great attainments will be ap-
Piled. In whatever line in this con-
nection he is placed, however, he is
surely destined, if he lives, to high
place on the roll of musical celebri-
ties.

The Posi- OFFICE REMovAL.-Mr.
s. A. Wilson, all agent of the Post Of
fee Department was in town Monday
looking at the sites suggested for The
future location of the Post Office. He
left the same day to report the
situation to the Department, with
which the decision rests. The matter
will be settled, it is expected, at an
early day.
ENGINE House BURNED. The
wooden structure containing the en-
CINE at the National mine of the
Hampshire and Baltimore company,
near Midland, was discovered to be on
fire Tuesday morning. Although
strenuous efforts were made to sup
press it, the fire continued to burn
until the next morning when it was
extinguished. The engine and boiler
sustained some injury, but not serious.
1t is not known how the fire originat-
ed. A little time will be required to
make the necessary repairs, when the
company will resume operations.
A NICE ESTABLISHMENT. - On
Wednesday last we visited Mr.. Hen
ry Webers farm, one mile east of
Cumberland, and found most superb
collection of beautiful flowers, all in
fine condition. Also, strawberries,
cucumbers, beets, and many other
vegetables ready for the, market at
the very lowest prices to suit the
times. Mr., Weber is clever gentle
man and deserves much praise for his
energy and perseverance. His work
affords employ ment for sixteen men
and boys-a force sufficient to attest
the magnitude of his operations. For
still better proof of his wide, awake
business qualities, we refer to his en-
ployment of the advertising columns
of the JOURNAL to make known the
inducements he offers to the people of
Frostburg to patronize him. See his
advertisement elsewhere.

an attempt had been made to Instruct

Mr., WadleIgh said the committee on
privileges and elections had examined
the credentials Of Mr.. Kellogg, and
they were prepared to report that Mr..
kellogg had primd .tdcia case, and
was entitled to his seat.
Mr., Salisbury, Of Delaware, said az
y member Of the committee on prlvi,

the motion OF the senator from Mary
land to instruct the committee as an
atlront to that committee. He did not
believe any delay was necessary to en-
able the committee to report by No
vember |. II had been said that the
committee was prepared to report In
favor ofseating Kellogg, but he desired
to state there was minority report to
be submitted.
The motion OF Mr.. White to Instruct
the committee was rejected.
An application by the South aud
North Alabama Railroad company to
the supreme court for mandamus to
compel Judge Woods, of the tifth jedi
cial circuit, to allow that company an
appeal from his decree of July last, in
favor OF the bondholders of the Mont
gomery and Eufala Railroad company,
was heard. When the counsel of the
bondholders closed the argument
against the application, the court re-
lleved the counsel of the South and
North Railroad company from making
u closing speech, thus clearly indicat-
ing that the mandamus would be
granted.

LONDON, October Is. AN official dis.
patch from Muhktar pasha, dated
Kars, October Is, says: " Our centre,
after being exposed for four hours to
an overwhelming cannonade and in>
eessant assaults, was compelled to re
treat, leaving Awlishill in the hands
of the enemy. The Russians then
occupied all the strategical poiats IN

Chefket pasha continues to hold its

OF Muhktar pasha's forces which, ac-
cording TO the latest Russian telegram
was compelled to surrender.

the defeat to Russian reinforce ments
and the fact that they were able to
place in position two hundred guns,
served by skilled artillery.
A special dispatch from Vienna, 10
the Times, says Muhktar pasha's de-
feat leaves the Russians free TO act on
the Turkish wings. Further opera
tons by Ismael pasha against lgdyr
are out OF the question, and II he does
not retreat promptly, he may share the
fate Of Muhktar's Aladja division. The
Russian force at Arabian, which has
been kept In check by Muhktar
pasha's position rather than BY any
Immediate opposing force, will not re-
main idle longer. Thus with one blow
all advantages gained by the Turks
duIing the summer have disappeared.

difficulty OF supplying the Russian
army interferes, march on Erzeroum

PARIS, October Is. The left is boast

and above all, Marshal MacMahon,
do? Rumors relative to their inten.

ministers are inclined to resign, but 1t
il added that the marshal cannot yield
to the dictates of the democracy with
out breaking his repeated pledges, but
that he will accept the left centre, ii II
sewers itself from the rest of the left,

dangerous counsels offered to the mar
shall, that vague rumors OF coup

ghost stirring as would make the candles
burn blue. He and Ingram sat up till
near morning, and then lay down alter
nately for an hour or two-but all was
still. Not mouse stirring" They had
their labor for their pains that night.
Still they were not discouraged in their
campaign against the powers of darkness
by this withdrawal of the enemy. They
still believed that they would have q
brush with him yet. In this faith they
renewed their arrangements for the next
day, carefully managing them 80 eau
tiously that there should be no ground
of suspicion given to the world around
that there was anything extraordinary
going on.
The allies met after breakfast to talk
over the matter, and decide whose turn
should be the next to face the enemy.
Major Ferguson, in right of seniority
of rank, received the privilege. The
men who were on guard during the
night were examined, but they main
tanned that there was nothing that could
be constructed into a suspicious circum-
stance that had fallen under their obser-
walton. Renewed charges of secrecy
were given and exchanged, not only for
fear of the ghosts getting wind of the
conspiracy against him, but lest the
laugh at the mess-table might be turned
against them. Lord Percy was curious
to hear the result of the nights cam
paign, when the adjutant waited upon
him for orders, and gave his approval of
the steps taken, and encouraged them to
proceed.-Concluded next week.
