A MUSICAL PRoDIGY-AN "UNTRAv-
ELLED' YoUTu-FRosTBURG AS
A SUMMER RETREAT.
CUMBERLAND, April 8,

Here, in Allegany county, almost
upon the top of Big Savage Noun
tain, one mile above Frostburg and
thirteen above Cumberland, dwells a
family by the name Of Tagen. Their
home, a plain but pretty frame cot
tage, stands in most pictul esque spot
in the centre Of a small clearing, over
looking deep ravines, dark with trees
and clambering vines, and musical
with song birds and ripping waters.
AS far as the eye can reach in the
distance loom up high, majestic noun
tains, on and on, until the mountains
are lost in clouds. The interior Of
the cottage is spotlessly clean, snow
white curtains shade the windows and
light-tinted paper covers the walls,
with here and there map. There is
very little furniture, md that is plain
and neat. In the parlor there are a
few easy chairs, very pretty wood
stove; a music stand and grand
Chickering piano; no carpets, no rugs,
nothing to interfere with the music
or to distract the attention from the
one great obiect-music. And here,
in the midst of this solitude, young
Tagen is developing u wonderful
musical talent. For four years he
has been practicing from seven to
eleven hours every day teaching
himself, and he now plays three thou
sand pieces-so his father says. He
generally confines himself to difficult
compositions, although he seems to
have passion for the different varia
tons of Home, Sweet Home. He
has works by all the great composers,
but Beethoven is evidently his favor
lite. His banj 10 limitations are inimita-
Die. lie is certainly genius, but be
lacks expression; his great passions
are undeveloped. He is eighteen
years old, and has never associated
with boys or girls Of his own age;
debarred from all society, except his
own family, he has led a strictly Sc
Guided life in his mountain home.
He has never been to see a play OF
an opera, and has only attended one
concert.
The musicians appearance is strik-
ing and peculiar. Tall and straight
as an Indian, long, dark flowing hair
cold brown eyes, full red lips, clear
olive complexion, strong white hands,
well and delica,ely covered with flesh,
and long tapering fingers, with pink
tinted nails, just such hands as one
would expect to find on musi clan,
strong and beautiful. What a wax
ing up there will be Of thoughts and
feelings in the young Tagen when he
comes out of his seclusion and joins
the merry jewellers - youth and
pleasure What wonderful touch it
will impart tohls fingers; what glow
to his cheeks and light to his eyes
1t will be as magical as the kiss of the
Prince" on the lips of the "Sleeping
Beauty"

friends of Garrett, Hon. George W.
Wilson and Hon. George W. Blooher,
gained much valuable legislation for
their people; Mr.. Wilson is a plain,
sensible, conscientious gentleman, and
Mr.. Blocher is a model of good tenn
per, and both were warmly devoted
to their work. The business of the
House was expedited by the quick,
prompt and faithful labors Of the
Speaker, Hon. Fettter S. Hoblitzell,
of Baltimore city. As a presiding
officer he had no equal in the Legis-
lature and few in the State. With
an afable and impaxtial disposition
he gave unexceptionable satisfaction,
as was attested by a warm resolu-
ton of thanks offered by the opposi-
ton and unanimously adopted. The
only effort made by Mr.. Hoblitzell
upon the floor was speech upon the
appropriation for the penitentiary

Of the Allegany county delegation
it will be allowed us to say that none
upon the floor stood higher or exerted
more influence. The members were
constant in attendance, prosecuted
! their business with persistence, and
secured all the legislation available.

we doubt it; any other four might

that also. That some occurred is not

and to allow, on tho other hand, that
our censors are not perfect symbols Of
infallibilty. This view is confirmed

and that the actual mistakes have
been overlooked. These, however

bly, sudden choices between evenly
balanced alternatives. In such in.
stances, the real result of s mistaken
vote is never apparent until it is toe
late to recall it. Conscious of the
recital Of our purposes, however, We
have but little to regret. Impossi
bilities in legislation are as incapable
of achievement as in other spheres O
action, and those who do not accept
the proposition thereby advertise theil

FROSTBURG

Is gaining quite Il name, and coming
into favor as q summer resort. 1t Is
high upon the mountain, 1900 feet
above the level of the sea. There is
never night in which bed coverings
can be dispensed with, and it is entire
Iy free from mosquitoes, gnats and
aeas. 1t is the largest of the mining
towns in this region, has six thousand
inhabitants, two opera houses, mum
erous churches, and a bountiful sup
ply of young doctors and lawyers.
1t is well worth the money to take
few weeks in summer to travelling
through the mining districts. It is
not all black and SCOT, but grand old
mountains, laughing cascades and
winding streams. And a jollier set Of
people than the miners and their fam
lies cannot be found. When work
is brisk and the men employed, all
goes happy as a marriage bell. "
The women work and sing and shop,
for they have passion for the latter
Just like other women, and they buy
the best in the market.

THE prospect for an excellent sum
mer's work is good, though the basis
is not yet developed, owing to the
backwardness Of the carriers in an
nouncing tolls. The canal company
has, however, fixed it's rate at 40 cents,
a slight increase upon last year. A
corresponding advance will likely be
made by the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad. With low rates of carriage
and mining, the promises of abundant
work ought to be fulfilled.
