Emma Abbott.

For several days past it has been
announced in the local columns
that the charming young American
prima donna, Emma Abbott, is to
appear this evening at the Academy
of Music in this city, and remin-
iscence Of the talented young
singer may not he ont Of place.
The writer believes he may lay
claim to being the business and
stage manager for Miss Abbott in
one Of the first entertainments she
ever gave in Michigan, and It hap
pcned in this wise: One beautiful
morning in the summer Of ten
years ago, as we sat in our office
Illuminating upon the possibilities
of collecting sufficient means to
meet a draft upon us from the De-
troit Paper Company 1--WE were then
the editor and part proprietor of
the Alpena Pioneer, the only sheet
then struggling for a financial
standing in what has since devel-
oped into the sawdust city of the
shore), knock at the door aroused
us. and we ushered in n bright
faced, brown-haired, intelligent
looking young lady, who handed
US tiny card, upon which was in
scribed, in a plain, girlish hand,
Emma Abbott, Chicago, Ill., Em-
ma Abbott was TO us unknown at
that time, and we pleasantly in
quired how we might be of service
to her. After begging our pardon
for the interruption and trouble
she desired to occasion us, she in
formed US as to the object Of her
visit, which was to give a concert
in the village that evening, if suit
able arrangements could he per-
fected. "And your company p sail
we. A pleasant smile illumined her
handsome face, aud her bright eyes
twinkled merrily as she answered /:
us simply very dear old friend
my guitar. My dear sir, l am a
friendless girl upon whom the
hand of misfortune has been laid
heavily, and though it may strike
you as odd and unseemly that |
should be travelling about alone,
yet | assure you that when yon
have heard my history you will
cease to wonder"
In a brief manner she then told
us of the struggles of her early
life. Her father, a musician, had
reared n musical family, OF which
she vast the eldest. Believing that she
had voice that would one day give
her position in the ranks Of the
great singers of the day, she yearn-
ed for such education as would fit
her fey the operatic stage. The
barriers which INSTRUCTED her path
were many ssd could only be re-
moved by the tslismanic touch of
gold, and Of gold she had none ;
besides, her father was too poor to
assist Der pecuniarily, and thus she
was thrown upon her own resources.
She had too much honest pride to

Languor of the'whols system aud loss
of appetite follow after the throat is
affected. As the disease progresses q
membranous oxidation coats the back
portion of the throat and palate. This
diphtheritic membrane. as il is called,
attacking the windpipe, Is the most
dangerous phase OF the disease; if the
patient can be kept frota this there is
comparatively little danger. Diph.

throat or any portion of the body, aud
to treat it as such is to waste time. The
disease is constitutional. and the
patient must be treated accordingly.
To touch the affected portions of the
throat with nitrate of silver is barbar-
GUS in the case of children especially
Alum dust blown into the throat will
destroy the false membrane. One
great danger to children recovering
from an attack of diphtheria lies in the
thoughtlessness of parents in allowing
them to run around before they are
completely recovered. The general
system is terribly Frustrated aud needs
careful attention. nourishment and per
