Mrs. Hincks. who has made for her
self "a very remarkable reputation 10
the druwing-roums of New YORK, is
about to give concert at Chickering
hall writes a correspondent OF the
BROOKLYN Eagle. Her career has been
rather an unusual one. The oldest Of
"a whole brood Of creole girls in New
Orleans. she married-after the creole
fashion-at the age OF II, and began
even men to be the center Of gay
circle iu a French quarter OF the town.
She was only a girl with long tails Of
hair hanging down her back over her
white gown, but was even then
human m0ckiugbird with ahigh carol
ing voice with which she sang half her
daY. Like the gay southern bird she
had a quick ear, aud the old melan-
cholv slave songs that were sung in
the fields and swamps; the little, Groom
inc lullabys that the black mammies
sang to their little charges; the queer,
plantiye melodies that creole girls
sang in the convent gardens; the pas
sionate serenade OF the Spanish creoles,
sung under barred windows on moon
light nights; the songs of the Sicllian
sailors or the Bretons who came over in
the French ship; the wild. furious liter
alive African bamboula songs all
these she heard in the many colored
Old streets of French town, and repro
duced each as it had been sung. in the
same patois, with the same quality of
sadness or airiness or frenzy. For

visitors came and desired local color"
they were taken to her, and when they

A DEFECTIVE s WITCH
perails Four Cars of Train and Num-
Der OF People Are Injured

CHICAGO, ILL.,, April s.-A defective switch
uerailed the four rear coaches Of an inward
bound Baltimore & Ohio passenger train
between Colehour and South Chicago yes
tcrday morning. The coaches were thrown
with terrific violence against several coal oil
tank cars standing on the side-traclxs and
broken to pieces. One man was killed and a
dozen Others injured, two or three of them
very severely. The train was nearly two
hours behind time and was running fast.
Just north of One Hundredth street. and
parallel with the main tracks are series Of
slue-tracks and switches and long strings of
tank cars, near the great oil tanks. AS the
traln was crossing the switches opposite one
OF the tanks the seventh coach was suddenly
wrenched loose from its couplings and shot
diagonally across the track TO the left The
ordinary day coach following just after was
thrown from the track and with awful force
against the oil tank ears TO the right. The
entire side of the car was ripped and torn
and smashed into a pile of twisted iron.
splintered woodwork and broken seats. The
car was full of men, women and children,
who yelled and shriekcd and cried as they
were thrashed about mangled, and bruised
under the wreckage. The forward end of
the Pullman sleeper was stove in while the
rear car was derailed and its passengers no
more than shaken up. The automatic air
brakes had meanwhile stopped the forward
section Of the train.
The uninjured passengers and the train
men gathered around the wreck and soon
extricated the wounded and uninjured from
the wrecked car. James Hanna, Of Smiths
Basin, n. y, was found with an iron rod
through his head and died shortly afterward.
Henry Houk. farmer of Adamsyille Ia.
had leg broken in two places and received
internal injuries.

NATIVE VS.. FOREIGN KINDS.

Native kinds of trees, shrubs,
vines, etc, improved by culture are
worth more than any foreign va
rieties introduced. We never know
what may happen to or through
foreign stock until after long ex-
perience, and 1t is dangerous TO
bring into a country anything from
foreign chimes and let it extend it.
selfRt will, or to further its extension.
We owe several of our worst pests
to this recklessness. We are re-
minded of this on learning that all
the vineyards of California are
threatened with destruction from
some mysterious cause, lately sus-
pected as the extension of the epepper
trees. This is one instance out of
hundreds of like cases from strange
plants, animals and seed.

A REFORM PRISON.

A bill for the establishment of a
Reform school is before our legisla-
ture. This is perhaps the most inn
portant bill that will come before
that body on account of the influ-
ence such an institution as the one
proposed may have upon large
numbers the rising generation.
1t is really a frightful thing to reflect
on the influences exerted upon so
many hundreds Of youth during one
generation by confining them in
prisons with old hardened expert
enced criminals. Thousands Of ig-
norant thoughtless boys, who have
been convicted of some offense, triv-
ial in its nature, or on account of the
light design i'm it's commission and
confined in the common prisons
have thereby been initiated into a
school of real crime and have gradu-
ated as most finished scoundrels.
Once within the gates of the peni-
tentiary there is no more hope. The
most sbright, promising boys are
made into the very worst criminals,
while the dull and stupid may not
be much affected. Statistics show
hardly one in such circumstances is
ever redeemed. On the other hand
they show that some of our greatest,
citizens have been inmates
of Reform prisons and testify to their
by influences around
them during their confinement.
When the community has the power
to save these waits in their down.
ward course to destruction, and
make good citizens of them shall it
hold it's staying hand? Who |
shall say what may be the in
fuence for good upon his generation
of one single person. thus redeemed ?
And who can tell what immense
power for evil one single character
may have?
