THE FRANZ ABr CONCERT.


The concert under the auspices OF the Franz
Abt Club at the Church of Our Father, corner
of Thirteenth and l. streets, last evening, was
musical treat to those attending. The body
OF the church was well filed, but little
llghtness was noticeable in the gallery. Every
number OF the programme was warmly re.
cciyed. Encores were frequent, and II was
difficult for some of the musicians 10 escape
with giving one response; The Franz Abt
Club gave "Thc Young Musicians" "Guto
Nacht," and "Image of the Rose" with tenor
obligato by Mr.. Clark, In the most acceptable
manner. The excellence OF their singing and
popularity of tho octette are so well known that
Domer sang, with remarkable sweetness, the
"llarbOr Bar and showed a voice ol
superior training, Miss Scott rendered
"Son Conosci IL Bel Suop' will
''Aiargery Daw." Her voice Is very strong
well cultivated, and every note comes tortt
clear and distinct. In the trio, Breathe Thol
One Sigh, these two ladies' and MI Clari
were excellent. One OF the most acceptable
offerings OF the evening was Mr., Glark's PROV
erbs in Song" First he sang, when Poverty
Knocks at the Door," and followed with "Twc
is Company Three is None" This did moi
satisfy the demands Of the audience, and hC
sang, "Kitty Lee and "Willie Gray" The con
cert was success in every respect.

IKx fnleQra nh II the Disnn trh

NEW YORK, April 7.-Additisnal
troops for Aspinwsll took their de-
psrture from the maynard at noon
to-day in a very quiet manner. There
were five companies Of fifty men each,
under the command Of Captain Higbee.
One hundred and fifty sailors and
battery Of six guns left the Brooklyn
maynard to-day with marines in CON-
mand of Captain McCslla. The troops
were conveyed on tugs to the steamer
Acapulco, Of the Pacific Mail Line.
The failure Of the bank at Norfolk
Termed the principal topic Of CONVERSE
ton among the officers before their de-
parture this morning, for not few had
money deposited in it, aud the prospect
Of losing their savings caused them to
feel little downhearted.

A Lackswaxen PENN special says
The passengers on the morning train on
the Honesdale branch Of the Erie rail-
way on Saturday were treated to an I'M
usual sight near Rowland's station.
A doe had ventured out of the woods,
and, being seen by number Of work
men in a bluestone quarry, had been
surrounded and driven into the switch
yard at the station. 1t ran between
some cars, which stood on a siding and
a high embankment. The paSsage-way
was so narrow that the deer could not
go far, and the bank was too steep for
il to climb and the cars too high to be
surmounted. Seeing its helpless Situa-
ticn one Of the Quarrymen seized the deer
By one Of its hind legs. In the strug-
gle that ensued the deer worked its
way out into open ground, and after
dragging and tumbling the man about
for a few seconds broke loose. The
man was very agile, and succeeded in
throwing his arms about the deer's
forelegs. In the struggle that ensued
the doe tore its would-be csptor's
clothing from his throat to his knees by
blows with her fore feet. He held
gameiy on, however, and finally some
of his comrades went to his aid. Three
men seized the deer and threw her on
her side. One man ran to get a rope,
but before he returned the deer made
another effort to escape, and threw her
captors right and left in the snow. She
then with a few leaps reached the
woods and disappeared. The animal
was very thin. and Judging from the
fuIlness Of her udder, she probably had
young somewhere in the woods.

During the visit Colonel Grant and DR..
Douglas were In the room.
THE END rs NEAR.
DR.. Newmaa had spoken Of the
friendly feeling Of the people ct large
end tho great number Of fficads the
General had.
"And I have . great many on the
ether side, too" said the General.
"Ycs, that Is true, and they are
waiting for you, Geaeral; they are
waiting for you"
"Ah, yes; and ] wish they would
come" replied General Grant, and Dr.
Newman said that never in his life did
he SEQ such an expression Of peaceful
satisfaction as that on the Generals
face as he uttered these words. DR..
Newman dreaded the hours from mid
night TO dawn. The doctors thought,
he said, that they might tide him over
midnight, but not to expect more.
At 7 o'clock Dr.. Douglas said the
end was nesr. He gave the impression
that it might be possible to proloug
life until morning, but the effort to pro-
tract life by artificial means was hardly
desirable, and, besides that, the
General wishes to die. He was
tired and weary, and knew the
inevitable was not far away. DR..
Sbrady said he was prepared for
an emergency. II should not be
supposed that DIR. Sands had come to
perform any operation. If any hemor-
rAage took place DIR. Shrsdy was quite
prepared TO stop it. Among the eve
ming callers were ex-Commissioner-of-
Internal Revenue Green b. Rsum and
Senator Palmer, of Michigan. Ex-Sen-
stor Chsffee and q. s. Grant, Jr., en-
tered the house about p. M.

A Demand for French Rishss.
fRv cakle TO the DisDatch.

PARIS, April IN. Brisson, the
new President Of the Council Of Min
listers, read before the Chamber of
Deputies this afternoon formal state
ment Of the policy agreed upon by the
new ministry in regard to China. The
statement declared that France would
demand from China complete respect
for all French rights resulting from the
treaties made by France with AMMAN
and China concerning Tonquin, and
which China had recognized as valid by
the Fourier Convention Of 1884.
France would be happy if AMIGA
bic negotiations sufficed to attain
this respect for French rights, but
the end would be attained by arms If
necessary. The Government, however,
was resolved to not modify the charac-
ter of the French expedition in Ton
quin without the approval Of the Cham
bers. Concerning European affairs, the
declaration stated that the French Gov
ernment would. by an attentive and
circumspect policy, seek to guarantee
Frances position As one of the very
first Powers in all questions occupying
European attention. The domestic
policy Of the new Government,
NJ. Brissou said, would be to
maintain the principle Of union,
concord. and concentration Of the Re-
publican forces. "Thus animated"
the declaration went on, 1--WE shall
discuss the budget AMI other urgent
measures very soon. II will be for the
country to speak referring to the fall
general elections). We shall make 1t q
point of honor to secure a free, loyal,
and sincere election. As abroad we
shall be solely mindful Of the honor of
the French flag, so at home our only
wish shall be to serve the national SOW
eIeignty." NJ. Brisson concluded his
statement by asking the Chambers to
vote the Government the remainder,
amounting to $50, 900, 900, of the credit
asked for on account Of the operations
in Tonquin. The speech of NJ. BrissOn
was much applauded by the Deputies.
The committee of the Chamber which
had been appointed to examine the
items of the Tonquin credit Of s40,-
0OO, 900, as asked for by NJ. Ferry at
the date of his downfall, followed NJ.
BriSSon by recommending that the
Chamber vote the remaining $50, 0O0, 900
(sl0, 900, 900 having been already voted
as a mark of their confidence in the
new Cabinet.
N. Perrin moved that the French
evscuate Tonquin.
NJ. Brisson denounced NJ. PERKINS,
motion as an expression Of feeling which
was repugnsnt to the feelings of the
Chamber as well a. to the feelings OF
the country. The new Government, he
said. was anxious for peace, but 1t
would do nothing contrary to the dig
nifty or the honor of France, such as
the proposed evacuation Of Tonquin at
the present time would be. This de-
claration was greeted with cheers.
The Chamber then granted the addi-
tional credit Of $50, 100000 by a vote
of 373 TO %.

Training Pigeons 10 Accomplish tmmesse
Distaness-The Dagger from HAWKS.

+" Homing- or carrier-pige0ns require
sonew hat careful training" said Daniel
S. Newhsll yesterday. at IL not
often, however, that any are lost. The
birds are allowed at first, when about
three months old, to fly around and
about their home for a week or two.
Then they are taken on various occs-
sions to different spots about . mile
distant, and the distance is increased
until outside the city limits. Then
ten, twenty. and thirty miles arc
reached and successfully achieved,
and they are taken still fur
Their away until the distance IL
increased to sixty, ninety, one
hundred and fifty, two. three, four,
five, aud even eight hundred miles.
The stations are generally signai-serviee
stations, as the officers are well quail
fed to judge A. to the weather the bird
is likely to encounter. ! have known
birds to be kept at station several
days before being allowed to fly. owing
to adverse weather. Sometimes after
being kept SO long they are 10th to
leave, and occasionally, after lying
about sll day. unable TO find their way
to their real home, they will come at
nightf,u and settle on the rosf Of the
station. That, OF course. is not very
often the case, for the birds have real
ly remarkable instinct.
II used to know gentleman in Ger
mantown who had . dliIerest way Of
training his birds. or rather Of judging
which birds he would train. After they
had become thoroughly acquainted with
their home he gave them no trial trips,
but sent them off to New York right
away. Those which found their way
home he trained for longer flights. 1t
is really astonishing how few he lost.
Pigeons will lily we'll till they are
four years old, but it is rarely you find
a pigeon Of that age doing any work.
The reason is simple. IL bird-ownsr
finds any specially good bird, and it
wins half dozen prizes, he is not going
to waste the pigeon nor let 1t wear itself
out. He wants to breed from it. liz
therefore keeps it at home. Carriers
run 4 number Of dangers, you know.
The hawks get at them, and nothies
earthly will prevent that"

APRIL 7. 1885.
The question Of this city voting
$500, 900 toward the construction of
the Lynchburg and Southwest railroad
is beginning to be actively cauyassed,
and will doubtless result in q lively
fight at the polls in May. The act
Of the City Council submitting the
question to the people provides that
the subscription Of Lynchburg shall
not be available until the counties
through which the road is to pass shall
have voted 100000, nor until $780,
600 shall have been raised by private
subscriptions. This saving clause will
possibly be the means of securing ia
vorable action on the proposition in
Lynchburg.
Judge Wingfeld, of tn. Circuit
Court. is expected here in day or two
to'hear the case of ID. 4. Black rs. W.
W. Coffee, being a suit brought by the
plaintiff to recover his child from the
defendant. who claims to have adopted
it. The readers of the Dispatch are
acquainted with the circumstances of
the case and of Blacks Imprisonment

sent to Jail for ten days; but Judge
Latham has released him upon receiv-
ing an apology.

Large works Idle.

CHICAGO. April The employees
at McCormick's extensive reaper-wsrks
in this city, numbering 1000 in all,
to-day decided to strike, and the works
are idle in consequence. The managers
appeared to feara disturbance and tele-
phoned for police protection, bat thus
far there has been NO trouble. The
factory is the largest Of its kind in the
world. Some Of the employees in one
of the departments had been on strike,
and the attempt of the owners of the
works to fill their places with men at
lower wages was the occasion Of the
present strike.
