George Alfred Townsend in New York Tribune.
A scene instructive and agreeable was that
| looked upon at General Calvin Brices resi-
dence in Fifty-third street last Tuesday A
young girl not yet fifteen years of age, Mag
gle Wickham, from Indiana, was to sail on
the Gallia the following day with her friends,
Nilsson and Albani, to be perfected in violin
culture at Berlin, and she gave a private test
of the cultivation she had already received at
the Cincinnati Musical College, of which she
is the gold medal holder, and her teacher
there-a classmate of Joseffy-had prevailed
upon her parents to let her continue under
great masters abroad. She was the only child
of the fourth wife of Dr. Wickham, of Goshen
Ind, the medical partner of Mrs.
Brice's brother-in-law. Her mother
once music teacher, it is
said, has given three years of undivided at
tention to her child at Cincinnati and sepa-
rates herself from her husband two or three
years longer to encourage the breath of art
in this young prodigy. The Brice children
made a night of it, and it was a scene for a
painter to observe them standing around their
young friend as she drew the bow--the bow
she was kept whole year drawing without
other tuition, so as to give her physical COM
mand over the instrument, from the sockets
of her arms to her waist and finger tips. Her
mother told me that every instrument which
came into the house-hute, cornet, guitar
the child played by ear without a tutor, 1t
was Reuben Springer's College which showed
the parents that therein lay the precious gift
of art. AT the recent musical festival she
was in the orchestra fiddling among the old
men. Maggie is a tall girl with dark eyes
and black hair, and a mixture of the child
and prima donna in her manner; unaffected,
yet with ambition steadying her soul.

TANNERS RIVAL.
The Ex-Faster Finds a Man Who Lived
Fifty Days Without Food.
New York Times.

New York Times.
At the conclusion of DR.. Tanners fast he
started west along the line of the Erie rail
way on a lecturing tour. On reaching Allie
gany county he was informed that man
near Cuba had been without food for fifty
DAYS and was still alive. The Doctor lost no
time in calling upon his rival, who was ]. F.
Stewart, a former lImberman, who was in
comatose condition and given up by the ply
sicians Dr. Tanner took charge of the pa
tient, and at the end of four days Stewart had
recovered consciousness, was able to move,
and could eat hearty meal. The Doctor
made careful inquiries regarding Mr.. Stew
art, who. he found had for years dispensed
with masticating his food, being satisfied to
bolt it, in order to gain time He had con-
sumed a great deal of tobacco, invariably
swallowing the juice.
About six years ago Stewart began to feel
the effects of his indiscretions, and after ex-
erting his strength to the utmost to lift
heavy piece of timber, he received strain
across his stomach which forced that organ
into insurrection. The state of his stomach
compelled Stewart to forego eating
for ten days, at the close of which he was
able to live as before. Not profting by his
experience Stewart resumed smoking and
chewing and, having given up numbering
and bought grocery, he INDUCED his appe-
tite for sweetmeats to an extreme. His
course had the effect OF dissipating the pow
ers of his stomach, and he was obliged to I'M
dergo a fast of forty days duration Re-
covering as before Stewart was again unwise
and was compelled to refrain from food for
fifty days. 1t was at the close of this period
that DR.. Tanner saw him. Since that time
Stewart has tasted several times for long
periods He appears to be unable to control
his appetite for tobacco and indigestible
dainties. He is not irritable while fasting,
but companionable and fond Of society and
attention. The case is exciting much notice
from physicians in this region.
1t is DR.. Tanners opinion that exposure
and fright cause more deaths among persons
who are by force OF circumstances deprived
of food for less periods than one month than
the single fact of being without nourishment
to the stomach In his opinion the success
full faster is one whose mind is superior in
power of will to the ordinary demands of
his physical being

A Shawl His Winding-Sheet.
Bay City Mich Tribune.

y
A touching incident is related of Professor
Cocker, of Michigan University. Shortly
before his death he called the attention OF
his pastor to worn and faded shawl spread
on his bed, and requested to have it wrapped
around his body and buried with him. He
had made it himself when young man in
England; had worn it in all his journeyings
to and from over the Atlantic and Pacific
oceans; when residing in Australia; when he
escaped from the Feejee Islanders as they
were preparing to kill and roast him, and
when he was shipwrecked. 1t accompanied
him when he landed i'll the United States,
and even clad the remains of his dead child
when penniless and disheartened, he first
arrived in Adrian. No wonder he desired it
should enshroud his inanimate body and &C
company him into the quiet grave His wish
was gratified.

BEN BUTLER AT CHARLESTON.
Tells How He Foresaw War When the Dem
ocratic Convention Split.


Speech at Reunion of Sixth Massachusetts,.
To one at all versed in political history it
was apparent that unless some special inter
position of Providence came the growing
dissensions of the North and South must lead
to war. 1t was a significant event when two
organizations which had long formed, as it
were, connecting bands between the North
and South were rent asunder-the Methodist
Episcopal church and the Democratic party
the Northern and Southern portions of each
being unable to agree. When the Demo-
cratic party was severed at Charleston there
could be no doubt OF the result. After the
convention divided was at the Mills House.

A Ministerial Pleasantly.

One of our gravest ministers perpetrated ali
expressive conundrum upon DIR. Dorchester
at the close of his excellent report from his
district. Following his established habit, the
Doctor gave series of very valuable religious
statistics IN connection with his review of his
annual work. Without smile, our sober
preacher turned to his neighbor and asked:
"Why will DIR. Dorchester possibly be I'M
happy even in heaven?' To the response,
Il give it up" he gravely answered: "Be-
cause of the multitude there which no man
can number"

How the Law Works in England.

London Special.
The Home Secretary has been overwhelmed
with letters and petitions reminding him of
the trade interests which may be, even if
hey are not already, seriously involved. and
members of the House OF Commons are in
receipt of petitions urging the necessity of
immediate changes in the law. The principal
operators who suffer directly from the law,
and who feel its effects at once, are mine own
era, quarrymen, builders, and Others who
depend almost entirely on the use Of dyna-
mite to carry on their legitimate business.
They have already been harassed by the in
convenient restrictions placed on CONNER
cial transactions in explosives as the new law
places them prachcallyat the mercy of black
mailers and pretended nformers. The law is
felt with especial force by some of the largest
mine owners, who have heretofore found it
more economical to manufacture their own
explosives than to buy them in open market.
They and every man in their employ could
now continue to manufacture only at the
risk of the inordin1ry heavy penalty of life

,lass of men suffer indirectly. They are the

An''A L" Sample of Good Government.

There has never been in this country any
honester or better government than in some
of the States that have been under Repub-
lican control for twenty years. Look a Iowa,
with no public debt, with splendid system
of public schools, admirable State institu-
tons, an intelligent, industrious, peaceful,
prosperous population. The "banner Repub-
lcan State" of the West is also the highest
model of a commonwealth in all that per-
tains to the true glory of a home-rued COM
munity which the western country has yet
produced.

MIR. Herbert spencer,s Error.

Binghamton Republican.
Herbert Spencer says that "every American
appears to have been born half an hour late
and to be trying to make up for lost time"
Herbert Spencer is wrong. An American
makes no bones of catching up with a little
matter of half an hour. The real cause of his
oyerhaste is that he is trying to outstrip
himself and everybody else. As soon as he
has run himself to death he has accomplished
the feat

o'Meagher Condon's Indecent Talk.

Washington Special to New York Tribune
The other day, when the news of the
dynamite explosion came, Condor was deliv-
cred of long interview in one of the local
papers, in which he took the O'Donovan
Rosa view of the dynamite campaign, only
putting it into better language than Rosa is
in the habit of using. Mr.. Condor thinks
the Irish people "are turning their attention
to the only means left to bring their persecu-
'the worse than uselessness of looking to
anything but force for redress or relief" the
persons engaged in the dynamite plots, he
believes wish sincerely to avoid doing any
thing that may cause injury to those who
are not responsible for the injuries
inflicted on them" perhaps it is
hoped that by practicing retaliation,
the British government may be deferred
from perpetrating those terrible crimes in
Ireland, " he says. By the "only means,
force" retaliation" etc., he means, of
course, dynamite, the most cowardly method
of assassination yet devised. He has the
right as a citizen to say what he chooses and
it is not at all likely that the British people
will be excited because a treasury clerk is
talking dynamite in the Washington news
papers But the fact that he is connected
with the government service has been COM
mented upon by number of persons, who
have said that his action was on that account
especially indecent and improper. Ger
tainly no one would patiently see ODono-
van Rosa living on a government salary just
now. If Mr.. Condor continues to talk as
sassination, he ought to be given his choice
between keeping his mouth shut and earning
his living elsewhere than in the government
service

detectives, policemen, chemists, steamship
owners, apothecaries, householders lodging
letters, carriers and others who in anyway
may be thrown in connection with suspicious
persons who transport common matter
From the hour when the character of the
bill had become known the police have been
in constant receipt of all sorts of informa-
ton, which has put them to infinite trouble
with very little result Every person who
has had any dealings with an
Irish or American stranger seems to
have felt it his duty to report that
fact to the authorities, and every case has to
be patiently stigated-generaly, OF
course, with very little result. If a man with
an Irish name or an Irish accent purchases
acids or other ingredients of explosives from
chemist, no time is lost in giving the fact to
the police, and if householders give or refuse
shelter to suspicious strangers, or a hand
carman gets hold of an ddlooking parcel,
there is more work for the detective and vex-
atious annoyances for all sorts OF innocent
people, who never gave a thought to Irish
matters and never dreamed of dynamite. In
one case where much alarm was caused, half
the police of the city division were engaged

proved to be only an innocent package of
candles. Until it was opened it was an in

character The pressure for immediate and
essential changes in the law is very strong.
