with Polish immigrants on the rear of
our train, as they had through some ac-
cident had been belated, and we sped away
for Toledo. At about 8 o'clock at night
man came into our car, in which Sena
tor Quay had berth, and said:
Ladies and gentlemen, 4 child has
been born in the next car. It's boy.
Although we are in Ohio, I'm Pennsyl
vanian myself and as Senator Quay is
also on the train it is proposed TO name
that boy Quay Longkowski. 1t has been
proposed that We all chip in and raise a
purse for the boy
We Clipped. Quay saw our whole pile
and raised it by 50, saying that he should
be proud of the honor, and the man pass
ed into the next car. An hour later we
learned that no child had been born, and
that the fellow had raise s75 and drop

Anecdote lboui Deethoren

Here is an interesting story. says the
Chicago Ners, which does not occur in
Louis Engel's most charming book of
anecdotes aud "reminiscences Of musicians,
but which in points of interest and Of
prettiness is of piece with the narratives
contained therein When Ludwig Beet
hoven first visited the Austrian court he
was 16 years Of age. Well provided with
letters of introduction to Emperor Joseph,
he proceeded alone to the palace, derier
mined to play his way into the affections
of the monarch. Admitted to the palace,
qe was met in the ante-chamber by 4 very
civil gentleman, who told him that the
Emperor could not we'll receive him then,
but would be glad TO have him present
himself that evening for an audience in
the Augarten. Attracted by the quiei
and friendly demeanor of this person,
young Beethoven engaged in conversation
with him aud presently discovered that
he was the Emperor's barber, the discov-
cry arising from the strangers casual adj
mission that he shaved the Emperor ev-
cry morning"
"Tell me-" demanded the youth, is
he indulgent or Severe? ?"
THAT depends" answered the barber,
"When he comes to music matters he is
strict enough" .
"Yes. | know what that means, said
Beethoven, sneeringIy, che plays the pi-
ano a little, and strums away on the vio-
lincello, and composes sonatas, but, be-
tween you and me, these big people don't
carry their music studies very far after
ALL"
This honest expression of opinion seem-
ed to amuse the barber nightly; he sim
ply roared with laughter.
That evening at the appointed hour
Beethoven came TO the Augarten and was
shoAn into the mushroom, where the
Emperor aud friend were seated in
conversation. Intense was he young
musicians horror to learn that the sup
posed barber and Emperor were one.
But The Emperor took the joke with such
amazing good humor that Beethoven, for
his part, was willing to forgive and for
get. He seated himself at the piano, and
AT the Empcrors request improvised on
theme from Mozart's "Zarastro." This
he did 50 remarkably that his auditors
were delighted. The Emperor's compan-
ion could not restrain his joy; running
across the room, he threw his arms about
the youth, crying; "Such taste Such
skill The youth who can SO interpret the
thought of another composer will one day
be a great master in the art himself"
"Ah, but the air itself is 50 beautiful" "
said Beethoven, and then he added
"Mozalts music is divine!'
My lad" cried the Emperor, beam
ing with delight, "do you know whom you
are talking to? 1t is Mozart himself to
whom you haze been playing and whose
lips have just predicted the great future
that lies before you!"

Our boat is swift and the far clouds drift,
While my loves eyes look in mine!
And soon DER the white-capped waves

EXTREMES MEET.
What Changes arc Wrought Even In a
Single Generation,

a Syracuse On. Y } correspond
ent OF the Herald verifes the re-
port that Miss Winnie Davis and
Mr.. Alfred Wilkinson, a bright
young lawyer Of Syracuse are to
be married, but as yet no date Is
set.
Mr.. Wilkinson is a grandson Of
Rev. Samuel j. May, one Of the
leading old-(ime AbOhtiOnsts, and
his marriage with the "Daughterof
the Confederacy" is attracting con.
siderable interest.
The Herald says it is the "crown-
ing event Of the great rebellion"
We quote:
The event is of more than Ordi-
nary significance, owing to its
bearing on the birth aud fall Of the
rebellion. This marriage, when
accomplished, will unite two fami-
lies who have been heretofore the
most inn placable political foes, and
to whose efforts the fierceness and
fervOr Of the rebellion are largely
due.
The story of the courlship is
most romantic. Miss Winnie Davis
came North some four years
ago 70 visit DR.. Thos. Emory, of
the firm of d; Mccarthy d Co., in
this city. 1t was her first visit 10
this old abolitlonists stronghold,
and she was quite anxious to meet
the society OF Syracuse. AT one Of
The receptions given in her honor
she was introduced TO Mr.. Alfred
Wilkinson. II will be remember
ed that Miss Winnie received a
very cool reception in one or two
houses here, and the treatment OF
the daughter Of the Confederacyn
is said to have brought her and
Mr.. WilkinsOn in very close rela.
tons. He resented the coolnses
shown her and eallantly cham-
pioned her cause. The friendship
thus engendered between them bios
somed into love in due time. Miss
Winnie later on went TO Europe |
with a cousin of hers, and is still
there.
Mr.. Wilkinson some two months |
ago crossed the ocean to see Miss |
Davis and spent several weeks |
with her sightseeing on the Cont
nent and pressing his suit. When
they returned they were betrothed.
The Pascagoula democrat-star. (Pascagoula, Miss.) 1878-1920, 1890-05-02

1t is stated that Mrs, jefferson
Davis has recently been hard at
