SIB. LINCOLN IN WASHINGTON I
With the announcement that Mr, Lin
coln reached Washington in*afety on Sat
urday morning, the country -will breathe
freer. Thousands of his friends appre
hended danger from his passage through
Baltimore, and thousands of those -who arc
not his friends* predicted that he would
never reach the Federal Capital alive. We
think it was altogether the part of wisdom
for btm to make the transit through ilaiy
land insynStOt and at an unexpected hour.
Sir. Buchanan and his suite took French
leave of Baltimore four years ago, on the
occasion of the Presidential journey, hut
not without being pelted with brickbats
and rotten eggs. When we reflect on the
bad fame which that city has acquired by
reason of its mobs; when we consider that
it holds a pestiferous nest of disunionists;
and when we think how easy it would be to
shoot the President-elect from a window—
we must agree that it was but prudent
At least, to get through this portion of the
journey with as little parade as possible.
A few weeks since, theßaltimorc Chamber
of Commerce refused to receive the Chi
cago and Milwaukee Boards of Trade, fear
ing, as the members alleged, that it “ might
“ add to tho excitement in the public mind.”
It is more than probable that Gen. Scott,
or Mr. Lincoln’s Baltimore friends them
selves, advised the course which he has
taken. A dispatch from that city says that
Mi. Lincoln was very much opposed to the
plan of going through in the night, hut that
he was overruled by friends.
Later. —A special despatch to the New
York Tir,ies reveals a dark and damnable
plot to assassinate the President-elect.
"Whether true or false, its revelation to Mr.
Lincoln at HaYrisburgh was deemed justly
sufficient to work an entire change in his
plans of reaching ‘Washington.
UIS CV-VEffNWEKT CREDIT.
The approach of an honest man towards
the White House is followed by a prompt
restoration of the public credit. The bids
for the $3,000,000 loan were opened yrsler
day, and it was. found that $15,000,000
had been offered at from 90 to 9C—the rate
of interest being six per cent. The New
Tort banks, whose managers have been
threatening more or less to starve out the
new Administration, put in a bid for
$2,500,000 at 90, v?iich teas rejected > s
TJie Two Outlets to ilxo Ocean.
Since the tec-fts on of the State of Louisiana
fairs Lara been freely expressed by both East
ern and Western journals tint the commerce
of tbe great valley of the Mississippi would be
nearly destroyed should iho mouth of tbat
river remain in the possession of a foreign
power. Without In the least snblractingfrom
tbs importance, in a commercial point of view
of that noble river to tbe great North-west,
we cannot bat observe that within the past ten
years, a mighty change has taken plscc In tbe
current of Western trade, end that the value
Of the Mississippi as an ouUut to the ocean for .
tbe produce raised In the West has been un
aecc.st.rl2y magnified. Up to the year 1852,
the Mississippi icat the only outlet to tbe
ocean for the greater portion of the grain,
pork and beef of Illinois, lowa, Wisconsin, In
diana and Ohio; but since then tbat river has
been tapped at nearly a dozen points by rail
roads, and Its trade drawn into the great Lake*
and tnancc into tbe ocean by the Erie Canal
and the St. Lawrence River. The following

been laboring for the past three years to show
the people of England that the Mississippi is
the only true and natural outlet for "Western

the exports at New Orleans have diminished
about four hundred per cent, while the trade
of the Lakes has Increased more two

OUB WASHINGTON
[Prom oar own Correspondent.]
TVashtsgton, Feb. 21, 186 L
Tho House Tariff bill, with one hundred
amendments attached, passed the Senate latt
evening by the strong vote of 25 ayes to 14
noes, Bigler of Pennsylvania was tho only
Democrat who voted for the bill; but several
absented themselves without pairing off—for
instance, Fitch and Bright of Indiana, Thomp
son of New Jersey, Pugh of Ohio, and Ken
nedy of Maryland. Crittenden of Kentucky
was also absent. Douglas voted in the neg&>
live. AU the Republicans voted in the affirma
tive, but Dixon and Foster, who were paired
off with Wig Cdl and Polk.
Most of the day was spent in perfecting de
tails and voting down substitutes and obnox
ious amendments intended to damage the bill.
The RcpnbUcans held steadily together, and
resisted all the efforts of the opposition to
cripple or kill the measure. The slight duty
on tea and coffee, described In a late letter,
was retained, and one-half of the present Im
post on sugar is taken off The duties are
carefully laid with reference to revenue and
incidental protection, binder tho tariff of
1557, wools valued at 18 cents and under are
admitted free of duty. The effect of . this has
been to cause heavy frauds on the rev
enue. Fine foreign wools, costing SO to
59 cents per pound are filled with dirt or
other cheapening matter until reduced to tha
value of 18 cents ; are then brought into the
country free of import, and washed clean—
thereby not only cheating the Government,
hut unfairly competing with American wool
growers. To put a stop to this swindle, cn
motionof Mr. Bingham of Michigan, a duty of
five cents per pound is had on cil wools cost
ing less than 18 cents. This wIU completely
check-mate the ‘‘dirty dodge.” It was shown,
during the examination of the bill in detail,
where hundreds of frandshadbeen committed
on tho Government under tho tariffs of 1846
and 1857, by means of dishonest invoices,
mixing, and other practices, which ImpcrLeis
had learned. The leading feature of the pre
sent bill is the substitution of specific duties
for ad vaJorum wherever practicable. Each
article Is to pay so many cents per pound, gal
lon, or yard, instead of so much per cent, on
the sworn foreign valuation, as done under
the present tariff, which opened the door for
Innumerable frauds aadpeijarlef.
Tho worst feature of tile present bill is tho
three-year warehousing clause, which allows
foreigners to send their giods Into New York,
put them in warehouses and let them remain
three years, before having to pay the Govern,
ment a cent cf duty. Then they keep their
agents watching the American market, and
whenever there is an advance on any article,
out comes a lot of bonded goods. These goods
are shipped from Europe when prices there,
rale lowest, la order to pay the smallest pos
sible duties.
Senator Seward was the champion for the re.
tention of this warehousing system. A few
importers are interested in its continuance,
bat American manufacturers aro hostile to it,
and the interests of the Government require
the repeal of the privilege.
The tariff bill now goes back to the House
for concurrence. Most of the Senate amend
ments will be accepted. But It is very prob
able that the warehouse danscwill be reduced
from three years to oic. In the House bill it
was 90 days. A Committee of Conference will
be called lor, and the disputed points settled,
and the bill will be a law next week.
i Senator Simmons stated that the new tariff
would produce sixteen millions more revenue
! than tbe present one, and if imports should in-
I crease, the amount would bo proportionately
j greater. This estimate was bated on the by
| polheeis that the slave States would continue
I to pay their due share of duties,
j The effect of the passage of the new tariff
! will be to restore the credit of the govern
: meat, replenish its empty coffers, and give the
i languishing industry of the country a marvel-
I loas Impetus. It will offer capital new em
ployment, and labor hotter ana surer reward.
\ It is objected tbat the passage of the bill will
j offend Great Britain and France. But it will
{ please our own people, and charity should be
• gin at home. Our government was made for
I Americans, and not <or forei n nations.
| If the English, French or German maun
j facturertimls bimsell shut out of our market
j by the competition of our own manufac
| tureri, let him pack up his traps and
i migrate to this country, and bring his
workmen along with him. Let him go into
| business in America, if he wants the custom
lof American consumers. They will then
cheerfully purchase from him'ana he will buy
his wants from them. Lincoln said in his
■ Pittsburgh speech that whatever things aro
necessary to our wants could be purchased at
: home. It were better to make tbem In this
; country than buy them abroad, as we would
i thereby save the cost of transportation, lutur
| ance aud commissions, and at the same time
give employment to American labor and capl
i tab This is unquestionably the true policy
, and should not be departed from. If it were
steadily adhered to for twenty years, this cotm
{ try would not only be able to supply its own
i wants, but would compete Buccesslally with
i Great Britain and France in the markets of
; the world for tho sale of her manufactures.
■lf our Western farmers would just
: reflect that this country imports
i four times as much as it expots breadstuffs
and meats, they would prize the home mar*
1 ket more and the foreign less. It Is a fact,
! that four times the value of our agricultural
! products exported, Is consumed in the pro*
j ductiou of the articles from European work*
! shops, which are imported by tbe people of
j this countiy. In other words, If those foreign
! fabrics were ma_e in the United States, the
j people employed in creating them would con
i sume of breadstuff's, vegetables, fruits, meats,
j poultry, and other articles of the tarm end
J garden,/our times tbe value of all the edible
: products exported abroad to all markets. This
. statement can be verified to every man’s satis*
< faction, desirous of knowing tbe truth. In*
j deed, the interests of the farmer and gardener
j will be fully as much subserved by tbe enact*
1 meet of tbe new tariff os will the mechanics
i and capitalists of the country. Whatever sjb*
| tem helps the latter also benefits the former,
i because the mechanics and laborers are the
J people where ever they may reside, who con*
I same nin&Untfu of tho products of tbe farm;
• and the nearer they can bo brought to the
j American larmer, the more of his crops and
animals, they will purchase, and the belter
price .he will receive. The farther he has to
ship his products to reach them, the less be
I will get, as the transportation, handling, time,
{ and insurance, must all come out of what the
• mechanic and laborer pay him for his commod*
; itles. This is as plain as the nose on hif
i face.
Having written thus much on the subject of
the tariff, I will close this letter by remarking,
that if Congress would alsoputtheHomesteaa
bill through, and “Old Buck” should sign if,
the country would survive the secession of tho
Cotton States with marvellous ease, and would
probably feel moro reluctance in opening the
door of the Union-to let them re-enter, than
they have experienced in seeing them open It
to go out. Chicago.
Washington, Feb. 21,6 r. x.
The House concurred In tbe Senatp amend
ment to the Army Bill providing lor the speedy
construction of seven light draft steam war
vessel* with powerful armaments, by a vote of
111 ayes to 35 noee. Several Korthem Dem
ocrats voted for this measure of “ coercion,”
as the secession members called it.
Garnett of Virginia, who is a little snap-dra
gon, and a rank secessionist, pitched into tho
seven war steamers with all the venom he
could.
Anderson of Ky. asked him If he was for
the Union? He replied that he was for Vir
ginia seceding at the earliest moment. In turn
he asked Anderson whether, whilst he was for
the Union, ho was also for coercion again* t
a State that seceded ?
Anderson, who is the "Winter Davis of the
Kentucky delegation, and goes for the Union
without “its” and “huts,” replied that ho'
did not believe that a State had a right to se
cede. He Fas for the Union and the Const!-.
tntion,and Ihe enforcement of the laws as long
as they were In |he Union.
Garnett, table closing remarks, said thatany
attempts to cblledt revenue Would be looked
upon by Virginia as an act of coercion, and
would lead to civil'war. The sooner the Gov
ernment acknowledged the' independence of
the Southern Confederacy and the right of se
cession, the wiser it woold be for the North.
He scented the idea of re-construction, and
concurred with JeDavis that it were neither
u practicable nor desirable.”
! His colleague Millson, who Is an abstrac
tionist bf the Virginia school, but Is a fair and
' strongly opposedto secession,
fu v^ e Uttle fire-eater, saving among other
things that hcprotested against the efforts to re
present every subject of legislation, even tho
■ most orfihiaiy, as a means of coercion against
' w vt/T? Blatef J* He suggested to his colleague
; that if they endeavored to create such an im
pression in matters comparatively immaterial,
they would soon cease to gain credit when
. they should raise their voices against meas
. urcs which were actually objectionable, Tho
• appropriation would not be available till the
i Ist of July, and it would bo fdu two years be
' fore thoTCSsela could be constructed, and be
fore that time the country’s difficulties would
be brought to la close one way or other.
I The morning honn of the House for three
dsys past has been consumed oyer a- bill re
ported from the anthors
izing the President to call out the militia
aud accept the services of volunteers to pre
serve the peace, enforce the laws, and sup
press rebellion against the Union. The bill is
amendatory of the act of 1795, passed at the
request of George Washington. Itwaashown
in the course of the argument that -without
the enactment of some such law the Govern*
meutwou’dbe unable to hold this Capital
against au assault requiring more than three
or four thousand men to repel, as that would
be the utmost number of regular soldiers that
could possibly be concentrated, here for the
protection of the Capital, archives, and public
property. If Virginia should secede, and Jed
Davis should take it into bis head to make
Washington his Capita], the Government had
no legal means of providing sufficient force to
defend itself, either by. calling on the military of
adjoining States or for volunteers from all the
loyal States.
The old stereotyped cry was set up against
it, that it was a measure of “ coercion” to be
employed against the rebels, in which the
domrhiaces of the North joined their secession
allies. Bocock and Yellaudlgbam made elabo
rate Imaugues against it. The former seid
that the act of 17U5 authorized the President
to muster the militia or call out volunteers to
repel invasion of the United States. And all
the new Administration had to do was to re*
gord the seceded States os a foreign nation. In
such event, President Lincoln could call out
the militia to defend the Capital against a siege
by “ President ” Davis! This was certainly a
cuol suggestion, and ought to be made one of
the compromises proposed by the old fossils
at Widara’a.
Bosock further objected to the bill because
It authorized the President to employ the mil
itary power of the cr.nnny to suppress insur
rection against the United Stales, and he was
opposed to conferring upon'the President any
tuck power. The rigat of tlis people to rebel
was higher than the power of the Government
to suppress it! Of such stuff was his argu
ment composed. The bill will pass the House
by forty majority, and I. believe ft will also pass
the Senate. The disunionists, however, boast
that Old Buck will pocket it. It being now
within ten days of the expiration of this Con
gress, he can strangle any bill by simply not
signing it. But Sccrefciry.Holt and' General
Scott, who are anxious to have the bill pass
both Houses, think that Buchanan wih sign it
and leave to his successor the refeporsibiliiy of
employing its powers for sdlf defense or for
enforcing the laws in the insurgent districts of
the Union.
Coifix’s bill, empowering the President to
dbeonunue the mails In rebellious States,
which passed ibe House by so large, a ma
jority, is now being discussed in the Senate.
It will doubtless pass in a few days, and tho
i President has signified bis intention to sign it
I If the malls were discontinued in the eight
i seceded States—counting Arkansas—it would
| save the Department Jour millions of dollars
| per annum, as it is costing the Federal
| Treasury that largo earn over and above the
; receipts to furnish those Stales -with their
; postal facilities. Texas alone taxes the
; Treasury over six hundred -houßand dollars
; per annum. The Post Office Department
: would be self-sustaining, if relieved oft ho task
of providing malls for those disunion.
, State?. Let them be discontinued. Let
' Jeff David’s government enjoy the luxury
> of providing four or live millions a year
; to carry the letters and newspapers in
the St.ics which feel bo sorely distressed by
the oppressions and tyranny of the Federal
Government. This grievance of paying four
; millions a year for them, should not be inflict-
I ed on that suffering, but patient and gentle
| people, a day longer than can possibly be
] helped. When the fire-eaters pay 25 cents lor
! a letter Instead ot the onerous Federal tax of 3
cents, they will realize the terribly oppressive
■ character of the Government which they have
: so long endured, Chicago.

A Wolf Chase on the Ice.
[From the St, Joseph Traveler.}
"While James Graham, our wide awake Sher
iff, was out with a party skating on the river,'
& few days since, he observed, as ho was glid
ing swiftly along over the smooth ice in ad
vance of his companions, a largo wolf crossing
the river just a few rods ahead of him, when
ha immediately gave chase. The frightened
brute turned down the stream, finding his pur
suer would cat him off before he coaid possi
bly reach the opposite bask, and ran os fast as
he could, which was not at his greatest pace,
owing to the smoothness of the ice. The
Sheriff, intent on his game, bent his whole
energies to accelerating his pace, keeping his
eye on the gaunt creature before him, and be
ing a superior skater, he gained upon him at
every stroke; but, when almost within reach
of the animal, he happened to east bis eye
ahead, and there within a half-dozen yards was
an open stretch of water of several rods in
width, into which the wolf sprang, followed of
coarse by the Sheriff, who was unable to check
his momentum soon enough to avoid the dis
aster. Finding himself “in for it,** he laid hold
of the growling, snapping brute, thereby buoy
ing him-.clf up until his companions arrived,
when be was pulled out, and the cause of bis
cold bath forthwith billed.
A Now Silk Worm*
The following Is condensed for the Amerlcm
Agricu2turiU t from its foreign files. This in
formation appears to be reliable, and is given
without comment by Dr. Lindloy, In the Gar
deners 1 CPironidc. Here is, perhaps, a new field
of enterprise opened—though we are not ready
to endorse all the new discoveries of oar
French co-laborer*. The account runs as fol*
low*:
In March, 1859, a request was made of tho
French Emperor to provide the means of
making an experiment oh a large seals lor the
rearing of anew kind of *ilkworm, which lives
iu the open air on a very hardy plant, tlic
ailafUc, and produces two crops a year of
strong silky fibre which has been used for
ages .past in China, to/mako clothes for tho
great mass of the people. ' The authority was
immediately granted, and the result, ns now
published, surpasses all expectations. '.More
than three-iourths of tbe.worlos produced ex
cellent cocoons, aod it is now ascertained that
the new worm gives a profit of 10a per cent.,
and often mud* more, whereas’ - the mulberry
silkworm is considered very successful when
it makes a return of 15 per cent, on tho capi
tal emoloyed.
Tho silk of the adantc is of Inferior quality,
well adacted for coarse fabric*, and will form
ah excellent substitute for cotton, of which
France annually imports 103,000,000 lbs. from
the United States. iL Guerin Menevillc, who
was the first to introduce tbe new silk into
France, proposes to call It ailantinc, He is
now studying the best means of promoting
the production and manufacture of the new
silk, which he thinks will ere long supply the
chief clothing of the people. The ailante on
which tbe worm feeds is the ailantus glandu
losa, one of the hardiest of trees, and very
common in American cities and towns. — Agri

The Great Floating Battery at New
Tsrk.
A large amount of war material has been
shipped from Pittsburg destined for ths cele
brated Stevens’ Floating Battery, New Tort,
which has been in course of construction sev
eral years, and will be located at the “Nar
rows,” near that city. The whole amount of
shell furnished, was one hundred .and fifteen
tons. The vessel was built unfier.the direction
ofßobert L. Steven?. ’ It is about four faun
deed feet in length, with about fifty feet beam,
being next to the largest vessel of which keel
has yet been laid. Notwithstanding her great
size, she will draw but alight amount of water.
Thehulloftbe vessel is built of iron plates,
about three-lourths of an inck in thickness,
nearly-eight feet in length And abont two feet
In width.. They are fastened together by
rivets placed at about the distance of an inch
and a half of each other. The rivets below tho
water-line are smooth-headed, so that they will
offer no resistance to the vessel’s progress
through the water, while those above the
water-mark, protrude from the vessel’s side
over halt an inch, terminating In a sharp point.
It la said, when completed; there will be nine
shells, or plates of iron, with space between,
making a wall twenty-seven Inches in thick
ness. being sharp at the bow, she can.bc used
for cutting a vessel in two. She was designed

aud one of the most interesting entertainments
ever given in this city. To give an opportunity

Fibe iit tub Nouth Dmaiox.—A fire broke
out in a long row of wooden buildings on
North Wells street, between the bridge and
KLnzie street, a little after two o’clock on Sat
urday morning. By the efforts of the depart
ment, and thanks to the steamers, the flames
were kept under subjection, in spite of the
high wind which prevailed, and confined to
that portion of the building in which r they
srighiated, -Xho lo&tea were as iollows: A.
A Pample, railroad ticket agent, furniture and
other property, s4so—no insurance; John
Southwell, eating house and lodging house,
loss $175, in furniture and a pocket-book con
taining $2O in money; H. O. Olson, dagner
roan, loss $6O0 —insured for $4OO. The block
of buildings was the property of H. G. Lfafiin,
Esq., and suffered damage to the amount of
about $BOO, fully covered by insurance. ; No
doubts seem to be entertained that the fire
was lighted by an incendiary. Two persons
lodging in the upper apartments occupied by
Southwell, were forced by the flames to j amp
from a second story window to preserve their
Lives. Janies Akin, one of these men, broke
ils leg in performing the perilous descent.
The other, Barney Goliiver, escaped withont
material injuries.
A Curious Sight. —A friend relates an inci.
dent of rather an humorous character 'which
occurred on North Clark street on the 22 d.
Two ladies, one very small, neatly and fashion
ably dressed, and the other large, red-cheeked,
robust, and sensibly clad with heavy shoes on
her sturdy feet, were walking that muddy and
detestable thoroughfare.' When they, arrived
at the Kinzie street crossing the lake of
boarding-house-coffee-colored fluid that pre
sented itself was enough to appal a more
courageous heart than possessed by the smaller
lady. She “Oh, my’dl” and “Blessed!” and
“Oh, dear’d!” and “ couldn’t think of soiling
her gaiters” and immacolato skirts in perform
ing the ferriage of that veritable mud lake.
Without giving her timid friend the benefit of
a warning, the “ robustaoas” woman quickly
tucked the smaller onto under her arm, as one
would a bundle of cloth or other parcel, calmly
forded the black Slough of Despond and land
ed her burden safely on terra firma, apparently
with as much ease as she would have handled
a small child or a veritable rag baby. The
bystanders were hugely tickled at this exhibi
tion of courage and muscle on the port of the
one female, and the utter discomfiture of the
other, as she stood on “the other side of
Jordan,” viewing her ruffled wardrobe and*
wondering whether she was hurt much and
whether she should laugh or cry at her invol
untary and gratuitous exposure of shoes,
hose and embroidered skirts, or not. She fi.
nally concluded to not, and went on with her
strong-armed acquaintance, but it was ob
served that she did not again hesitate to meas
ure the depths of any Grossing she arrived at,
for fear of a repetition of the performance,
which, from some reason, she did not seem to
relish over welL
Rev. J. Dixon’s Lecture.—Out readers
will remember that we announced for next
Tuesday evening, at Bryan Hall, a lecture by
Rev. James Dlxou, of the Union Park Baptist
Church in this city. The following is from
the lowa City Reporter, in which place Mr. D*
recently lectured;
Mr. Dixon’s Lecture.—Rev. J. Dlxor, now of
Union Pork Baptist Church, Chicago, delivered a
lecture at the Baptist Church of this city, on
Thursday evening last, his theme being “Poets
hud Modern Ehynutera.” The lecturer's well
earned popularity secured him agood houee. 'Bis
effort was worthy cf very great praise, and ivas
Intended to thronghoat with the most marked at
tention. 'lt was well conceived, and abounded in
poetical beauties of the highest order. Ko poet
could have said, in the same time, more bcauuful
things in a more beautiful way. Wc have beard
many of the distinguished lecturers of the coun
try, but can say, in all truthfulness, and aside from
that fulsome, injudicious praise which Is. never
worth anything, that the lecture now under con
sideration was worthy of muy man and any audi
ence. Onr high admiration of the lecture is by no
means decreased because we happen to differ in
opinion With some of its statements.
Grand and Patty Larceny.
On Saturday morning one Irving Prescott
■was arrested and brought before Justice Davis
of the Police Court for examination 'oh the
charge of stealing a span of horses, wagon and
harness from Martin Powell, corner of 12th and
Lumber streets, West Division.. Irving was
detected in the attempt to dispose of his new
ly annexed turn-out to some horse dealers on
Wells street, and ' promptly ' coerced'! Into
durance vile. Justice Davis thought the man’s
style of acquiring now property rather more
novel than just, and therefore held the de
fendant in default of SBOO boil to appear before
the Recorder’s Court next April
The Allowing cases of larceny were also dis
posed of in the same Court on Saturday: -
John Regan was held for trial upon the chare*
of ateaung-a bilver watch, an overcoat and six dol

Louis Schlesaloger was arrested; in on Satur
day by C. P. Bradley, charged with stealing a dia
mond ring, valued at SSO from G, W- Ohattertpn, a
Jeweller at Springfield. The case was brought be
fore Justice Miillkea In thomornlng upon a motion
of continuance.
A romantic incident which; culminated here
lately is creating some excitement In goesip
plng circles. The facts, as related to us, are
nearly as follows: : r _
Some time;. Since a'young Irish girl, who,
for want of a betifer nmne, wo will call Ellen
McCarty, “loved not.'vjlsejy-but too well ” a
young Englishman from Shrewsbury, England.
This was in the town! of Cashel, Tipperary
County, Ireland * It li the same old story of
love, seduction ahd;, r desertioD. Before their
separation, and ak apledge of tho certain ful
fillment of his ; promjss ; of marriage, Trow
bridge presented .Ellen with. a peculiar ring,
having a green' the top; upon which
was cut a rose. Afinplicate of tins ring John
himself word.. T^'e ; young man was reputed
wealthy, had bdfiiifess.to transact, and a few
days after the engagement he left for England,.
promising soon to.rethrn. Ellen shortly after
wards received a* letter from her faithless
swain stating Ms. determination to emigrate to
America; from whro(« he v?ould write for her.
Trowbridge dld£oi£forthis country and ar
rived at New, lost. There he
failed to obtain euptoylaent, and. soon after
landing got engaged sjoms criminal transac
. tion and left for to c-cape from the
officers of justice. • - He came to Chicago in
August, and went r fo work in an upholstery
store as a salesman.* 4
In about a month Ahe v gay young English
man made the acquaintance of a sewing girl
wo will call Anna.':, . After a courtship of
but two months he»auarrled her, presenting
her the ring, the duplicate of which had pre
viously been given’ fp Ellen McCarthy in the
old conntiy. Then commenced a system of
roguery. He rented houfe on the West
Side, famished it elegantly from, the money
and goods filched from 'his employers, and
seamed to live on of the land,” until
one morning he suddenly disappeared, since
which time nothing' has, been heard from him.
His abandoned wife- was again compelled to
earn her livelihood by laboring with her nee
die, occupying humble apartments in the
South Division.
. One day Anna received a letter directed' to
Mr. John Without suspecting It
was lor any other tban-3/r.s. John Trowbridge,
she broke the seaL The contents were strange
enough. The missive was signed “ Ellen Mc-
Carthy.” Tes, Eden had waited long and
dreary montha for _thd promised letter from
John Trowbridge, and then with the fruits of
her shame in her ’wins had set . out for
this far in;! scared of lilm. She
had traced>hlm : to; this city, and being
unable -fo 'find his whereabouts, she
Imd’Addressed-hlrii This had li-Uen
into &o hands of wicked John’s second vic
tim. Anna determined to seek Ellen out, and
she found her and had an interview. The eyes
of each rested upon the duplicate rings when
the!two met and shook hands. The pledges
of bis faithless troth were there, but Trow
bridge was far ; away. r Wheu Ellen saw the
ring Anna wore, she sank helpless on the floor.
Tho full villainy of her seducer was then ap
parent. : ~
Tho unfortunate Irish girl and cUd are now
with some charitable people, who were early
made aware of her hopeless circumstances.
Meanwhile, a suit for diforce Is, in progress for
the relief of Anna. It Is-ihonght by the detec
tives that John Cornell, of whom mention is
made in another paragraph as having deserted
a wife here and married another in Memphis,
is the identical Trowbridge, now carrying on
his vile practices under an assumed ncmc.
Tho Legislature has adjourned. . The law
making power for. the State of Illinois has
§pne info. inglorloha^cti^y-—Jagloriour, be-,
tuae, while enthroned, it did not meet a press
ing public want, a want which every man has
felt —the want of a statute prohibiting Piano
Solos at public concerts. We confess a fond
ness for the music of which tho Piauo is capa
ble. In the parlor, in the saloon—in any room
where half a day’s Journey does not separate
the sidewalls, tho Piano is the instrument of
instruments. Have we not heard it from in
fancy ? Did not sister Molly aud sister Folly,
pound it day after day for ten long years, dur
ing oar minority ? Do not we, our critical
selves, alter a fashion, ding out “ Days of Ab
sence,” a stray Waltz or two, and an occasion
al Quick-step ? Hava we not heard it from
time immemorial ? Does not Us popularity
manifest itself whenever we pass a white stone
front and hear the sounds come from with
in ? Does hot Madam, onr neighbor,
tell us, every time we meet her, how Juliette
progresses—how she has conquered Beethoven
and Is now hard at work in the intricacies of
Rossini, and how the piano responds to her
youthful genius? We have then no reason to
dread that formidable instrument. The recol
lection of tbe day—nay, the many, many days
—in which we hung entranced over the
shoulder of Anna Maria (now happily the
mother of six fledglings) when she payed the
airs then all the rage,—is it not tugging now
at the tendrils of sentiment and poetry which
men of no imagination call “heart strings*”
Why then should we object to tho piano? We
don’t. We love It. Our.CyntMano—Ann Ma
rla’s successor—plays it WepayllerrScnNEm
hike ns one dollar a lesson for the instruction
he has to impart to her. And money is the
test. Poetry, music, sentiment, go down upon
it It is tbe touchstone..
But loving the piano, we hate piano solos in
concert rooms. Wo pray you,pingninious Heir
Muldernofc to be offended—wc do not mean you
alone, but the whole tribe of Professors of
your school.- Wo abhor your “ fantasies,”
your “ dreams,” your “ themes,” your “ com
positions,” and yonr “carnivals.” They arc
intolerable, unmitigated, outrageous and un
pardonable bores. They are invented and
played, mainly for one purpose—to show how
mind has conquered muscle—how fast flying
fingers can stifle music—how skill can triumph
over tune and harmony. Do wenottell the
truth? We appeal to concert goers. Thethun
der of bass, the tinkle tinkle of treble, the
conglomeration of both, the crash, the roar
and the akilfnl ran—hut alas no air. Are they
music? Profess or,-you hare pardonable pride
in yonr skill. The stndy of years, you ear,
should not pass for naught True, but if you
have studied to astonish, not to please,
whose the blame? We want harmony
and tone. Variations-and all that sort of
thing are good. Anna Maria used to put
them In, and Cynthiana does so now. Bet
suppose your coffee is all sugar, your soup ell
pepper, your pudding oil sauce, your cham
pagne all foam—what then ? Are they satis
factory? Variations do not please the public
If you give them variations alone. We know
the plea , that the people must be educated.
So-tkey must. . Admit them Ignorant of the
nlceitfea of musical art—and ignorant enough
they are. But do teachers of the young put
the lad into before A B G—into
Hilton before &b and eb ? He who should at
tempt to;teach “the young idiots how to
shout” In that manner would get no scholars.
Let pianists profit by the hint If they will
play solos, let ns have time, with variations
here and there, but all the time an air. Tour
coxcomb who should parade the street with
nothing but feathers and spangles in the way
of dress, would soon be driven to a hole. We
wish:players of solos no such fate; but wo
beg them, If they will try the temper of the
masses, to be gentle, preferring the substantial
to the ornamental—the understandable to the
incomprehensible—tune, to intricacies—har
mony to the astonishing. '
