EMMA ABBOTT'S CAREER.
Early St-n, 'es With Poverty and suc~
cess III Late Life.

cess III Late Life.
Emma Abbott's early life was passed
ut Peoria, LII. Her father was music
teacher, and the child's youth was
long battle with poverty. When she
was scarcely more than s years old her
father allowed her to assist him in
concert given in the school house of
country place. The two artists walked
nearly ten miles, carrying violin and
guitar, to acquit themselves of
this duty. Then for a sea-
son she taught a country school,
which she walked eighteen miles
through mud and slush to obtain, and
then on returning home and finding the
family in dire straits took to the high
way again and went singing from town
10 town. For the two years succeeding
she sang for her bread, for a season or
two attached to a troop of VoCalists at
their Drima donna asSOiuta. One terri
blv severe night, on going to her little
nothing chilled the warm currents of
faith and love that visited her sad
heart.
All alone, Miss Abbott once sang her
way to New York to hear Parepa. The
lowest ebb of fortune and courage
found her at Toledo, o., in the winter
of 1870. Just then, in the midst of her
perplexties, Cara Louise Kellogg heard
her sing and decided to be her sponsor
and benefaCtress. Miss Abbott went TO
New York and became the pupil Of
Errani.
Then came piece of deserved good
fortune in the position of soprano in
DIR. Chapin's church, and among the
ace Greeley With others of DR..
Chapin's congregation Greeley offered
to send her abroad to complete her
musical studies.
Miss Abbott fastened TO Italy and be"
gan her studies under Maestro San
Giovanni. Sleepless nights and over
work, however, soon told upon her,
and one morning she found her superb
voice had left her.
1t was months before she recovered
it, and without losing any time, and
under the advice of Christine Nilsson,
Miss Abbott at once proceeded to Paris
and commenced a course of study under
Wartel Tor vocalZation, at the same
time having six other masters in the
study of operas, fencing, drumming
French and Italian.
Before singing in England Miss Alb.
bolt visited Italy, and at Florence, &C.
cording to FL Corriere Italiano, created
veritable Juror, being recalled thirteen
times by the enthusiastic multitude
On her arrival in London she made hel
debut at the Royal italian opera, Coyent
Garden, where she was enthusias tically
received. Shortly after this Emma Alb
bolt appeared at the Crystal Palace
where she sang with magnificent effect
carrying off the honors from all com
petitors.
Her principal roles were Mignom
Lucia, Linda, AHino. Gjtda, Martha
ZerLina, LeonOru, Juliet, Virginia, airline
and she sang in Il varied repertory o
standard English operas.
Nearly two years ago Miss Abbott
husband, Mr.. Wetherell, died in Den
yer. Miss Abbott is very wealthy, hel
fortune being estimated at over 81 900,
900.

Sir: In your article on " Mr.. Fassetts Home Life

years since there been mistress Of the Executive
Mansion at Albany. Not since the election of Grover
Cleveland in 1882, has the mansion been adorned by
woman" / have often remarked what a penchant
the Democratic party had for nominating bachelors,
and in this country Of homes, more than any other
country where the home life Is so potential and upon
which so much reliance is placed for the purity and
stability OF the Commonwealth. have sometimes felt
that there should be law preventing any man from
being Governor or President unless he was, or had
been, a Of family. Look at the record Of the
Democratic nominees for the last thirty years and
mOre-James Buchanan, Samuel j. Tilden, Grover
Cleveland, David b. Hill. The best thing In favor OF
Grover Cleveland his good sense in getting married
Give for rulers good family men, and public affairs
will be much better administered. II. H. BEADLE
