WENDELL PHILLIPS DEAD.
The Great Orator and Abolitionist Breathes
lis Last, Victim Of Heart
Disease,

BosToN. Special Telegram, Feb 2.--Wendell
Phillips died at 6:15 o'clock at his residence,
81 Common street. He had been seriously III
only since Saturday last On the morning OF
that day he was taken very suddenly with an
attack of heart disease. A physician was
promptly summoned and pronounced
the trouble angina pectofis, the
malady which brought Charles Sumner to
the grave and caused the death of Mr. Phil
lips father and three brothers. 1t had been
hoped that Mr.. Phillips strong constitution
and the fact that he had enjoyed remarkable
health for years would enable him to rally
but the disease made rapid progress. He
was confined TO his bed on Sunday,
suffering terrible pains, and his physician
was summoned TO the house four times Tho
patient rallied, grew better. from day to
day, and hopes were entertained until
Wednesday of q speedy recovery. On
Wednesday CAME a relapse so serious
that constant metiical aid was required
On Thursday his condition became so criti-
cal that itlwas hardly thought at midnight
that he could live until morning. Again he
rallied slightly, but the relief was
only temporary. In attempting to lift
himself i'm bed to-day he overtaXed
his feeble powers. A terrible paroxism was
brought on, and in order to quiet the SUI
ferer it was necessary to employ anaesthetics
lt was evident that the end was near
Phillips realized this, and except during the
time above referred to, was conscious until
the last, though too feeble to speak. He
had been unable to speak for
two or three days. He had taken
no prominent part in public life for more
than a year, feeling that, though in excellent
health he had reached an age when quiet
ness and rest were requisite He received
many fattering invitations to lecture,
but was heard but seldom. He
last spoke in public at the
old South church the day fol
lowing Christmas when the statute of
Harriet Martineau was unveiled. The en-
forced removal from his home on Essex
street was often in Mr.. Phillips mind,
for he frequently spoke of the
change with regret, and some
of his friends, thinking that brooding
over this matter may have brought, in some
degree at least. the disease which proved
fatal When Phillips died there We're none
in the death chamber save the wife
whom he had cared for with such CON
slant tenderness these many years, and his
adopted daughter. with other members of
the family and household. His death was
peaceful, and, though the illness had been
painful, the end happily was free from all
suffering. The arrangements for the funeral
are not vet completed, and ii probably viii
not be held for several days

The Art of Music.

The art of music is so modern q de-
yelopment that it is only within the
last 200 years that anything having a
title to the name of music has existed
Modern or music proper had its rise In
Italy, where most of the srts in their
modern form also had their rise, Italy
may be said to have been the cradle oil
the arts. The first participator with
Italy in the ewly-discovered glories oil
the musical art was Germany. ItaliaH
opera and Italian church music found a
sympathetic response in that country
But observe that this sympathy was al
first entirely receptive. Until Gluck
founded a national school of music for
his countryman, Germany remained
content to be catered for by Italy. No
creative genius showed itself then for
years. There were indeed composers,
in the ordinary acceptation OF the word,
but they were seryile imitators and
plagiarsts, whose creations, while
possessing all the defects of the then
italian form. lacked its sole recommen-
extraordinarily and proeressiveness.
France, indeed, had already formed a
so-called national school before Handel
and Haydn respectively laid the gigan-
tic foundations on which the mammoth
modern structures of oritorio and sym
phony have since been raised. Thus
we see that the German nation, that
must be universally acknowledged the
musical natioa par excellence OF to- day
was in its artistic infancy not only mere
ly receptive, but also feebly initiative, a
sure sign Of stagnant mediocrity, but
clearly no obstacle TO future original
greatness journal.

The Marquis De TalIeyrand.

A few years after the war, this French
nobleman came to Florida with his rich
American wife, Miss Curtiss, of New
York, and purchased large tract o
land, identifying it until it hlossomed
like the rose. Here he erected hand
some house and expensive stables en-
ploying retinue of French servants,
also secretary and landscape gardener.
His elegant and costly equipages rolled
through the streets with their liveried
outriders, attracting the attention OF
both rich and poor, and when the Mar
quis and Marchioness appeared Oh horse
back, she with a bright colored costume
and tall hat with waving plumes, and
the MARQUIS in knee breeches and silk
stockings, the people looked, admired,
and wondered; but they wondered still
more when the titled gentleman brought
garden truck and sold it, reckoning his
gains and haggling for pence like com
mon men. 1t was said that the wife OF
the nobleman urged his retirement to
this remote portion of the globe, hoping
to wean him from a profilgate life; but
| in a lew years he became weary OF the
Quiet nonotony, quarreled with his sec

parted for tine North. At the breaking
out of the Franco Prussian war he sailed

ly. Nearly all men who have made
themselves eminent in the world have
devoted their lives to the one branch OF
study and industry. There is scarcely q

the case with most of the new branches
of farming which have been introduced
within the last fifty years. If you look
around it win be seen that previous to
that time it was not expected or required
that farmer should be a man of hard

Man Always the Same Animal

The most splendid specimen of the
Caucasian race that the civilized world
can show to-day has nc more organs,
bones, muscles, arteries, veins or nerves
than those which are found in the low
est savage. He makes different use OF
them, and that use has changed their de-
velopment,a and to some extent has mod
fed stature, physical, intellectual and
moral, and many other attributes, as
climate and habits Of life have modifie,'
complexion, the diseases 10 which the
human frame is liable, and many other
pecuIiarities. Bnt ii we take historic
man we fad that in all the physical
features of his animal construction that
constitute him species, he has been
essentially the same animal in all states
of civilization or barbarlsm. And un-
less we boldly assume that the pre-
historic man was an animal porn with
d coat of hair all over his body, and that
clothing was resorted 70 az the hair IN
successive generations disappeared, we
can have no very strong reason for be-
lieying that the human body has been
at any time an essentially different
structure from what it is now. Even IN
regard to longevity or power of con-
tinued life if we set aside the exception
al cases Of what is related Of the patrl-
archs in the Biblical records, we do
not find that the average duration OF
human life has been much less than the
