A DAY WITH WAGNER.-Dutton Cook
contributes to BelgrGUia an interesting
chapter on the music of Wagner, with
special reference to the work of the
ibrettist. An extract is given from
Roche's account of day passed with the
musician of the future, the former ham,
mering out the words, the latter the
music, which is worth reproducing: He
came," says Roche, sat seven in the
morning; we we're at work without rest
or respite until midday. I was bent
over my desk, writing, erasing; he was
erect, pacing to and fro, bright of eye,
vehement of gesture, stiking the piano,
shouting, singing, forever bidding me
$50 on! go onp' An hour, or even two
hours after noon, hungry and exhausted,
I let fall my pen. I was in faint state.
whats the matter ?" he asked. ST am
hungry" "True; had forgotten all
about that; let us have a hurried snack
and go on again" Night came and
found us still at work. I was shattered,
stupefed; my head burned, my temples
throbbed. / was half mad with my wild
search after strange words to fit the
strange music. He was erect still, vigor-
GUS and fresh as when we commenced
our task, walking up and down, striking
his Internal piano, terrifying me at last,
as perceived dancing about me on
every side his eccentric shadow cast by
the fantastic reflections of the lamp, and
crying to me ever, $50 on!'' go on?'

POISONING HER RELATIVES. -Inyesti-
cations in Madison county seem to indi-
cate that Mrs. Francis Shrouder, of Chit
tenango, not only poisoned her mother,
Mrs. Lowery Barnard, but also Mrs.
Pope, aged eighty, who died in July,
1876, and Mr.. Barnard, who died over a
year ago. DR.. Manlius Smith, of the
Syracuse University, found positive
traces of arsenic in Mrs Pope's stomach.
The old lady had $500 in United States
bonds in her bed, which were never
found after she died. Mrs. Shrouder
spent money very freely after the funeral.
Mrs. Pope was buried in Truxton, Court
land county, the day after her death. It
is alleged that Chittenango man Sc
duced Francis at fourteen, and she lived
as his mistress for some time. Mrs.
Barnard opposed this, but her father up
held the girl. She is now twenty-five
years of age, and not very prepossessing
in appearance. At the recent term Of
court in Madison county she and her
husband were indicted for the murder of
her mother. The testimony against her
is said to be very strong.

The ASPARAGUS BED.-It is good
time now to prepare the ground for set
ting out bed of asparagus in the spring.
We have been just enlarging one made
two years ago, and have proceeded in
the following manner: First, trench
was dug two feet deep. This was filed
half-full of rotted manure Another
trench was dug by the side of it, and the
top dirt thrown in to fill up the first hole.
The bottom of the second trench, being
clay, was carried away and manure filed
in, in its place. Thus the whole bed was
gone over, and although it involved a
good deal of hard work, yet we are sure
it will pay. In digging the last trench,
next to the plants set a year ago last
spring, we were surprised to find the
roots down in the ground to depth of
nearly two feet, and thoroughly perme-
ating the manure which was trenched in
there before the asparagus was set. So
it pays to take extra care at the start. A
we'll prepared asparagus bed will last a
family a lifetime, furnishing each spring,
before any other vegetable arrives, one
of the most delicious dishes from the
garden. It is classed everywhere as a
luxury, yet is so easily attained that any
one if he chooses may have it, providing
he is the owner of a spot of ground.

Colored Conference.
Reports and Papers-W What the
COlored People Desirc-Mr. Rob-
inson Raises IA Ructi0n.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, May s.
The feature OF the Negro Con-
vehtion was Il turbulent scene,
raised when Robinson, a Dele
gate from Arkansas, spoke in
opposition to emigrating. Rob.
inson said Ire came here from
the Convention at Vicksburg.
What they did at Vicksburg
would have a tranquilizing in
fiuence, but what good have you
done here to-day? While you
may have done some good, you
have done Il great deal Of harm.
One says the colored people are
sell-supporting, and can go when
and where they please. An
other says they are able to take
care Of and protect themselves.
The next thing is a resolution
asking Congress to donate
5000, 600 for the purpose Of sem
ding people to Kansas from
this country. When the time
comes that we can not live in
this country, | am as much III
favor OF going to Kansas asany
body else; but let us be men.
Let us be like white men, and
see the impossibility Of taking
4,000,O 600 Of peop.e and settling
them suddenly down i'll a strange
country.
These sentiments were the
signal for perfect outbursts,
delegates rising TO their feet,
and voices demanding how much
he had been paid. The uproaf
became SO great that President
Rainey and others had to APP
peal for quiet that Robinson
might have fair play. Robinson
managed TO say: "F'air play
need not be asked for ME. / will
see that / have. fair play. How
can you expect white men TO be
tolerant to you when you show
that you have no tolerance for
each other? If you are right,
your views will bear the light;
if wrong, they will not. Ii
wrong, they will not stand the
test of argument. You ask OF
men whom you have been all
day abusing to extend charity
to you, and you humble. and
debase yourselves in doing it.
When you talk about the poor,
starving black people, | am
with them all the time. With
what he earns, gets by law,
begs or steals, he gets plenty,
and l don't say this with any
disrespect to the colored men.
The country is full of this cry
of starvation. / have got 500
acres in Mississippi. l mingle
with them all the time, and they
don't starve." E
The resolution to memorabilia
Congress for 100000 to ena-
bic them all to emigrate to Kan
sas was then adopted.

H The five thousand color
ed people who went from Lou
siana and Mississippi to Kansas
are in a destitute condition, and
unable to obtain employment.
1t is reported that thousands
more are on their way to the
same state, and that they have
been misled by circular from
Lycurgus p. Brown, ofTopeka,
saying that land and encour-
agement awaited them, and ur-
ges colored men to fly from bon
dage to freedom. Destitution,
sickness and death is what they
are flying to, it seems. Wyan-
dotte is calling for aid from the

GREAT BRITAIN.

LONDON, March 21.-The Pail
Mall Gazette says: 1t would be
useless to remain silent any longer
respecting the uneasy feeling that
exists in the city. To those who
are accustomed to feel the pulse Of
Lumbard street and vicinity the
aspect presented during the past
week has been such as to remind
one of occasions, with which we are
far from instituting a comparison.
The names of institutions Of high
standing have been made free with
a manner to alarm those who easily
lose their heads, and rumors arising
out of very little, perhaps, have
become more and more serious by
repetition. We do not mean to
deny that there may be grounds for
soIe uneaslness. Trade is gen
orally notoriously depressed. The
Eastern trade in particular has
been in collapse for years.
Bad business, losses and the lock-
up of capital was therefore to be
expected and prepared for. But we
would remind those who may be
discomposed by the rumors, now too
general to be any longer disregard
ed, with what we face in the present
temper Of the public mind, scare
can be got up. Only two months
ago, few people stopping to talk
at the door Of one of the greatest
of the London joint stock banks,
actually caused run upon it.
Another point that should be borne
in mind is that disasters that do
happen are scarcely ever foreseen.
How many persons heard anything
to the de5riment of the City of
Glasgow Bank before it closed
doors.

RICHMOND, March 21.-In the
Senate to day Senator Massey of
Albermarle, rose to question of
privilege and proceeded to read a
paper severely rejecting on Senator
G. 7. Smith, ofsWilson, for pub
fishing a speech which reflected on
Massey. The language of the lat
ter was to the effect that the speech
alluded to, for unrefnement, indeli-
cacy, coarseness, misrepresentation,
defamation and vindictiVeness sur
passed anything he had ever heard
in the halls of the Legislature.
Proceeding with similar severe Ian
guage he was several times called
to order. Smith, during Massey's
remarks, denounced the latter as a
liar, scoundrel and. dog. A scene
ensued, several propositions to repri-
mand the Senators and requiring
apologies being made, but after the
debate the matter was referred to
the Committee On Privileges and
Elections, to report what action the
Senate should take.
The House decided to take
vote Monday, at 3 o'clock p. M, on
the passage Of Senate bill provid-
ing for the settlement Of the State
debt.
Two more jurors were obtained
to-day in the Poindexter- Curtis
trial, now progressing in the Hust-
ings Court. Another tales of two
hundred was ordered for tomorrow.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, March 20.
Special TO the Chronicle.
SENATE.-A bill to settle the
State debt was discussed almost the
entire day. Finally an amendment
was adopted striking out fifty cents
and substituting forty. The bill
then passed. The rate of interest
is placed at four and five per cent.
HOUsE--The Local Option bill v as
rejected for want of the constitu-
tional majority. The House bill to
change the time of holding the
Chancery Court for Knox county
passed third reading.
A good deal of surprise was mani
tested to-day at the resignation of
Mr.. Snodgrass. Yesterday evening
he desired spread on the Journal a
paper explanatory of a paper pre-
viously presented, and from which
the words supplementary report
had been eliminated, and
criticizing the ruling of the Chair.
This was ruled out of order by the
Chair, and was sustained. He then
sent to the Clerk protest against
the ruling of the Chair, which the
Speaker declared out of order, on
the ground that the House, having
sustained his ruling, it had gone out
of the province of the Speaker, but
if he wished to enter general DIS
crediter protest against the House,
he could do SO. An appeal was ta-
ken from the Chairs decision, and
the Speakers ruling was sustained
by vote of 80 to 10. Mr.. Snod-
grass, soon after, left the House and
presented his resignation to the
Governor.
