Learning 70 sing-Nature.

Let US consider for moment how the
case stands In regard 90 that small .frac-
ton OF mankind who attempt to sing in
some fashion or other. The great ma
jOrity Of these never learn at all; they
sing by the light OF nature, using their
voices in any way that will produce the
notes their ears guide them to; aud, no
doubt, with naturally good voices and
naturally good ears, music may some
times result which is quite tolerable,
though infinitely inferior to what 10
might be made. But many persons do
''learn to sing" and instruction OF this
kind forms tolerably large professional
voea ton. What, then, does this im-
ply? In most cases, unfortunately, lit
tie or nothing, so far as the true art Is
concerned. II a girl who finds she can
sing a little asks for a lew lessons
from an ordinary teacher, We know
pretty we'll what will be done; there
may be, Just as matter of form, u lev
exercises given; but the great aim will
DO to teach her the notes OF certain
songs, so as to provide her with a small
repertory for social exhibition. This,
however, Ia rather teaching music than
singing, and the name may be said OF =
large number Of classes for vocal per-
torrance in parts, whore nothing is at
tempted beyond the attention to the
pitch OF the notes used, and the time
they are sung in. II we 90 little
further and include the cases where the
teachers endeavor to give their pupils
some idea of style, We about exhaust
the category OF vocal instruction which
is common IN private circles, and we need
not wonder at the TACT, to educated
Judges, ordinary amateur singing, when
it is not offensive, Is, at all events,
wretchedly poor. To learn to sing, in
the proper sense of the word, is quite a
different thing from learning songs; the
voice is the instrument, the capabilities
OF which, In many respects, transcend
those OF any other known, and the cub
tivalion Of the voice, and OF the sing
er's power over il, 80 as to use II to the
best advantage, requires not only care
iul and judicious training, but long, hard
and laborious practice. Ii is, conse-
Queutly, only among the professional
ranks that we are accustomed to expect
thoroughly good singing, and even here,
whether from deficient education, im'
perfect powers. or defective taste, II is
not often that what We expect is really
found.

AARox BURRI
A Remlnlscence Of His Exper-

A "Reminiscences Of His Exper-
ience In Western Pennsylvan-
Ia.
Washington Special
A singular incident in the family his
tory Of Judge Philip h. Morgan, the
new minister 10 Mexico, who Is expect
ed here this week, Is spoken of as giving
q peculiar appropriateness to his APP
pointment and likely TO secure q warm
NslComshn Mexico. " Judge Afersans great
grandfather was \ colonel In the Reyo-
tionary war, personal friend OF Gener-
al Washington and veil acquainted with
Aaron Burr. After the close OF the war
Colonel Morgan settled on q large es-
tate called Morganxa. In Western Penn
sylyania, where Burr paid him visit
with the hope, al the event proved, 10
induce Col. Morgan's two sous to join
him in his contemplated expedition
against Mexico aud design TO establish
Southwestern empire. But he liter
ally reckoned without bis host, who be-
came 30 indignant with Burr that the
ex-Vice President did not think il pru-
dent to disclose his. plans in full, but
was rash enough 10 say at the dinner
table one day when warmed with wine
that"with Ave hundred men tue city OF
New York could be taken, and With two
hundred Congress could be driven into
the river"
The dinner table was thrown into dis
order by this speech, but Col. MOrgan's
youngest son, afterward General John
Morgan, replied hotly:
"By God, ar, with that force you can
not take our little town OF Cannons-
burg" which joined his fathers lands;
10 which Burr coolly replied:
"Confne yourself to this side of the
mountains, II you please, and I'll not
contradict you," and then lett the Ia
BILE. Next morning he left the house
before breakfast and proceeded on his
witt to Blennerhassatt Island, in the
Ohio.
Colonel Morgan had, however, gath
cred enough OF Burr's schemes TO ena-
BILE him to warn President Jefferson,
who replied, asking him to act as citi-
zen by further tracing the footsteps OF
this enterprise" On the trial Of Burr
at Richmond "for treason and INSIDE
meanor in preparing military expedi-
ton against Mexico" Col. Morgan was
one OF the witnesses, and testified 10 these
facts which are set down in the official
report OF the trial
General John Morgan, who made so
patriotic a reply to Mr.. Burr, Was the
grandfather OF the new Mexican Minis
ter. He died at Morganza in 1917.
Judge Morgan's father studied law in
Washington, Pa, and removed to Baton
Rouge in 1922, where he dial in in 1862.
Il is curious and interesting that alter
seyenty-fiye years the grandson OF the
young man who would not allow Burr
to talk treason or propose tilibustering
at his fathers table is sent as Minister
to the country against which Burr Was
then scheming Judge Morgan is an
accomplished Spanish scholar and Ia
miliar also with the law and institutions
OF Mexico. He was selected Tor the
place OF Minister by Secretary Ey-
arts, not only on account OF these ac-
mplishments, but because he has long
shown an intelligent appreciation OF the
value Of closer commercial relations be-
tween the United States and Mexico
and OF the continuance OF friendship
between the two countries.

Mr.. sullivan has just returned from
the portion OF territory between Duck
Greek and the Muskingum river, on
which this road is to be located, where
he found an animated interest in the en-
terPrise. Apparently all the people OF
that region want is TO know how the
company can best be organized. The plan
blocked out seemed TO he satisfactory,
and the work of getting up stock sub
scriptions and rights OF way will be
gone into with earnestness as soon as
arrangements can be made Tor the man
ager to visit the line. The plan as de-
cided upon looks to opening work be-
tween the Duck Greek railroad and the
Muskingum river Erst, and commencing
to lay track from the Muskingum end OF
the line as the most economical policy,
and which would at once develop dis.
trict very much needing a road, and
amply able to sustain road without
waiting for an extension to connect with
the Il. K 5. w. road.
Mr.. Sullivan brought with him num-
her Of samples OF iron ore, estimated by
Superintendent Davis to be capable OF
yielding varying quantities Tor different
specimens from 81 to % per cent. As
these ores were found in different local
tiles, the veins varying in depth from
two to four feet, it implies an unusually
rich iron region and added to agriculture
al resources not surpassed in Eastern
Ohio, they promise very successfuliu -
ture To the proposed railroad.
