A Talk with MRS. LincoIn.


An interviewer has this to say Of
Mrs. Lincoln, whom he met in New
York, where she is undergoing medi.
cal treatment. Her pension Of $1,000
year, her friends say, is about all the
means she has. From this she i:
obliged to meet the cost of the eminent
medical service which her case de-
mands, and to keep at hand a skillful
attendant. 1t is eot sufficient to dc
this. She is therefore obliged to dis.
pense with the services ola companion
which hinders her recovery, if it be
not absolutely dangerous. She did
not refer to her financial condition in
any way, except 90 express her ex.
treme regret that this matter had be.

This well known and accomplished
dramatic and musical artist died at
Richmond, Virginia, on Saturday
morning, and was buried the same
evening in Hollywood Cemetery.
Mrs. Bernard was born in England
about 1877, and was brought to this
country b. her parents when very
young. Her fathers name was Rey-
noldson, aud he was well known as a
writer for the press and an sdspter Of
plays. His pecuniary success, how
ever, was not great, and when he died
he lett his little girl entirely unpro-
vided for. She was adopted by the
famous manager and comedian. Peter
Richings, who for nearly forty years,
until his death in 1871, acted more
than a fathers part towards her. The
affection OF Notwithstanding cannot
be more thoroughly unselfsh than was
the love which existed between these
two. Miss Richings' Gas she wOs
universally KNOWN professional sue
cess was entirely due TO the old mas
ter's fatherly care. lie gave her an
excellent education, and as she early
gave indications of having fine voice
he provided the best masters for her,
and took great pains to cultivate her
musical talent to the utmost. The first
actual appearance in public Of Miss
Richings was as pianist, on November
20, l847, at the FIRST concert of the
Phi harmonic Society at Musical Fund
Hall. She appeared for a second time
on the 10Th Of December in the same

The Source Of the STissirsiopi.

Dubuque Herald.
The new found source of the Mis-
sissippi is a sparkling little gem OF a
lake, situated above aud beyond Lake
Itaska. 1t nestles among the pines OF
wild and unfrequented region Of
Minnesota, many miles from the near.
est white settlement, and just on the
dividing ridge which forms the great
water shed of North America.
Within few miles of it
can be found lakes and streams
whose waters are tributary to the
Red river of the north and the
Yellowstone, thus reaching the sea
thousands of miles from the mouth Of
the mighty Mississippi, which flows
in a trickling brook from Lake Gla-
zier. This lake, discovered to be the
source Of the greatest river in the
world by Captain Willard Glazier, on
July 2, 1881, is about a mile and a
halt in greatest diameter. and would be
nearly round in shape but for single
promont0Ty, whose rocky shores
give it in outline the shape Of a heart.
The waters of the lake are exceedingly
clear and pure, coming from springs,
some being at the bottom, but the
three most prominent rise few miles
back in low. wet land, and flow into
the lake in little rills. On the very
point of the promOntory is a spring
whose waters are as cold as ice, and al
which Captain Glaciers weary party
slaked their thirst while exploring
the shores of the new lake. So lonely
is the region around the lake that FOL
fourteen days not even a red skin was
seen, aud, wearied by the hardships Of
this rough country, yet with feeling
of having added something to geo
graphical knowledge, Captain Glaziel
and his party we're glad, indeed, Il

year ye.- Sic made her debut Oh the
stage on the 9th of February, 1852,
with the Seguin Troupe at the Wal
nut-street Theater in the opera of
The Daughter of the Regiment. 1t
IS not necessary to give the details of
her professional career. First as an
actress in comedy, and then in Italian
opera, she achieved considerable sue
cess; but in 1866 Miss Richines an.
peared as the leader of the Richincs
English Opera Troupe, and achieved
a success that the public is familiar
with, and succeeded apparently in
making English opera, what it had
never been before, permanently, fash
ionable and popular. The Philadel.
phia Telegraph says:
1t is a very curious circumstances
that, up to the death of Mr.. Richings.
the career of this artist was uniformly
successful, and after that event she
iaired sadly in all her undertakings.
Mr.. Richings was individually one Of
the best amusement managers this
country has seen, and his devotion to
his adopted daughter is one of the
traditions of the profession. Caroline
Richings was a thoroughly schooled
aud most conscientious artist, but she
was rather mechanical aud unsympa-
thetic. She was one of the most esti-
mable women who have ever adorned
the native stage. Her SERVICES in Tho
cause Of English opera may fairly be
called distinguished, and her name
will always be honorably associated
with the growth of American taste in
music.
Since 1857, Mrs. Bernard has de
voted herself to music teaching in
Philadelphia, afterwardsin Baltimore,
and finally in Richmond. In these
seven years she made two brief stage
essays, neither of them attracting
much attention.

TWO Physiciang Drowned.

NORTH THETFoRD, Vt, Sept. 4.-Drs A. o

were both drowned in the lake at Post Mills
Village, last evening. They were driving in a
covered buggy with pair of horses along the
shore, when the horses took fright, ran into
the water and overturned the carr iage. 1t
was within sight of the Lake House where the
accident occurred, aud help was at the scene
at once. Their bodies were recovered in few
minutes but not until life was extinct.
The body of John G. Marshall, M. D., of
LYME, who with Dr. A. o. Dickey, of Wor-
cester, Mass, was drowned in Fairee Lake,
Port Mills, VT. yesterday afternoon, has also
been recovered Although the accident oc-
Cured in broad daylight, within sight of ten or
a dozen houses no one saw them drive into the
water, and the first intimation of trouble was
discovered by man crossing the lake, of the
horses feet sticking out of the water. The
road runs alongside the lake for quarter of a
mile, and most Of the way the water is very
shallow, but at one point the bank shelves off
abruptly into deep water. 1t is supposed that
they were in a hurry to water their horses, and
not knowing how deep the hole was drove de-
liberatsly in at this point. DIR. Dickey was for
many years a resident of Lyme. Dr. Marshall
graduated from Dartmouth Medical College,
class of ~. He will be buried tomorrow with
Masonic honors
