FOLDED T1IEH AW AT.

Ah f well do I remember how Thai dreary winter day. I tooK the things from baby's drawer, And folded them away. I lifted Unit a blanket soft. Then pitas of snowy slip That seemed no like my darling one, I pressed them to my lip. A little hood of Bilk ao bine. Twu covered o'er with lace; I n-ed to think It fealties on oe. When pressed close to her faoe. But time has done Its dingy work, It there neglected lay; 1 dropped upou It bitter tears. Then folded It away. The faded spots upon the Tell Were frosting 'rom her breath; It ued to sh'eid the cbubby face Since frozen slid" In death. i A pair of shiny ties were there, The button both vrereaone; But brought to mind the happy hur When o(t I sewed them on. I found a toy for music made. But could not raise a note; For all tb Krief I ever felt beemed bursting then iT throaty I turned each garment o'er and o'er, U pon t hat d reary ty; Then dropped upn them bitter tears, .And folded them away. IMPORTANT TO MUSICIANS. Baawoa, Coatralto, fioprano. . INew York Tiraes. One of oar leading scientific periodicals aust issued contains the portrait of a beautiful young ladj who has been fitted by a Glasgow surgeon with a metallic larynx. It appears that tfce surgeon was compelled to extirpate heroriginal larynx, thus rendering her unable to produce a sound. Her lungs -were all right, and ber lips and other apparatus for articulation were in order, but without a larynx she was like an organ without pipes. As she was unmarried, it was thought that no immediate harm could be done by an effort to restore her voice. The surgeon therefore fitted her windpipe with a combination of silver pipes designed to take the place of the missing larynx. Instead of proving to be at best merely a tolerable make shift, the artificial larynx was soon found to be the most valuable improvement that has ever been made upon the human cirl. Girls can henceforth equip themselves with any sort of voice, from the deepest bass to the highest soprano, and mere natural voices like those of Nilsson and Patti will be totally eclipsed by voices manufactured by skillful makers of brass instruments. Not only any kind, but also any quality, of voice can be secured by slight modifications ot the artificial larynx. If the tubes of the Glasgow girl are made of an alloy of silver and brass, a rich, sonorous tone Is obtained, and by httiag her tubes with the appropriate reeds she can be converted into a clarionet, a bassoon or a melodeon. Furthermore, she can change her key at will by the use of "crooks,' and, iu abort, can represent almost every variety of wind instrument, whether brass or reed. The importance ot this astonishing invention will be apparent to any musician. At present no person, whether male or female, has more than one kind of voice. A bass singer can not sing contralto song, nor can a soprano sing baritoce songs. With the aid of the Glasgow surgeon's pipes, one person can sing any song that is within the compass of any voice or of -any instrument. Thus, a prima donna will bo able to take any part, and we shall hear the same lady sins the part of Zarlina one night, and that of Jeport-llo the next. There will no longer be any excuse for poor voices. Operatic managers will be able to supply every singer whom they may employ, from the prima donna to the oldest cnorus singer, with the best quality ot voice at a comparatively low price; and when we read at the foot of the programme that "every larynx used at this establishment is from the celebrated manufactory of Smith A Co." we can be sura that the interest of the manufacturers will compel them to supply none but the very best voices. At present, as everybody knows, the human girl f tinds on ttie key of C, to ue a technical expression. Few brass instruments stan 1 in that key. We have cornets in K flat and in U flat, horns in G Hat, and all sons of instruments in all sorts of keys. An instrument on one key can often be changed into another key by the use of a "crook;" but hitherto this device has not been applicable to a girl. Now, however, we can nave girls in any key. The Glasgow girl, by simply fitting a 11 Hit crook to her larynx, can sing in unison with a 11 Hat cornet; and by changing her tubes and using the appropriate crook can transform herself into a tenor cor. Thus, any man who has an intelligent girl has the entire family of brass instruments at his command. Moreover, he does not need to play on the girl himself, since she can play automatically. If he wishes to hear a cornet solo, he has merely to ask her to get her cornet tube; or if he thinks that the ophecleide will soothe him with its deep tones, be has only to mention his wishes. With an intelligent and willing girl and a proper supply of tubes and crooks, he can keep all varieties of wind instruments on tap, as it were, and can render himself entirely independent of bandmasters and concert managers. There is one , improvement which the Glasgow surgeon should promptly make. He should fit the girl, upon whom he has been experimenting with the best pattern of rotary valves. The manufacture of valves bas now been brought to such perfection that valve horns and valve trombones will entirely supercede tbe old fashioned French horn with its "stopped", notes,and the original sliding valve trombone. It would be manifestly inconvenient to convert a girl into an old fashioned trombone, since her long, heavy slide would be great'y in her way, and it would be very ungraceful forher when converted into a French horn to produce her "stopped" note by thrusting her band into her mouth. If, however, she was fitted with valves she'could I play upon herself with ease, and if tbe tops of her pistons were to be set with diamonds or otherwise ornamented, they would render necklaces unnecessary. This is all that is needed to bring the Scotch surgeon's Invention to perfection. Let every girl be fitted with p s tons and rotary valves, and there will be no room for further improvement. There is only one point in connection with this magnificent invention npon which, ' we should like to be reassured. It is generally conceded that the tone of a brass instrument is injured if tbe instrument is frequently polished. Does this rule apply to a girl fitted with a metallic larnyx Will her tone be injured if any effort is made to keep her complexion bright, and must she content herself with the occasional gentle application of chamois leather? Not even for the sake of preserving their purity of tone can we consent to have the surface of our girls grow dull and oxidized, and it is to be bor-ed that the Glasgow surgeon has already found a way out of this dilliculty. A Foet Worried. The poet Jngfellow. although natara'ly of tnos; amiable disposition, especially under the assaults niaue upon his time and privacy by simple curiosity and literary lion hunters, would be little short of a saint if he were not sometimes annoyed by the pertinacity of uninvited guests. Take for illustration two instances: Three stylish ladies, entirely unknown to the poet, sent in their cards. They are courteously received by him in a reception room. WouM he be good enough to let them see bis library? The requet-t is acquiesced in. and the library undergo! inoptction. ' Ob, it's lovely." "So nice; and now, mayn't we see the dining roomf Tbe cloth tor tinner was laid; and the hoar for that meal clone at Land, but nevertheless the ladies earned fieir point; but when it came to wishing to be shown the kitchen, the host was f in to ring for a servant, lest

farther examination flight extend to cellar or attic Another arousing instance, which was related to na bj a friend, was that of an Englishman, who,, like Sir Cnarles Coldstream, had traveled everywhere, seen everything and don' everything, and yet was terribly ennui' A. ' Haw! yes, Mr. Longfellow; thought ought to see the great American poet, 'n' cent in ma card." The poet invited his. visitor to be seated, when he resumed: "Yes, you see, Mr. Longfellow, I've bee-j a great traveler, air, been all over the continent; been to Ireland, Sweden, Norway." 'Indeed; you mast have four d muc'j to interest you?" "Well, something; bat it's fretting to be an awful bore. I've jnt come from Egypt; old country antiquities, you know." "Yes," replied the poet, "many interesting remains of past

ages." "Ab, yes just so, exactly; heaps or old rains. I like rains. Now, everything is new here in America, you know can't find any old ruins, so thought I'd come and see you.' T11K SILVER VICTOBT. It Extent ami Stgrnlflcmme Chicago Tribune.l After several months of tbe most thorough and exhaustive discussion of the silver question, after an unparalleled pressure brought to bear upon congress by the money power of the nation, and in spite of the declared opposition of the most influential members of the administration, the main principle of remonetization of the old silver dollar, giving it a full legal tender function for all debts, public and private, has been decided affirmatively by more than two thirds majority in both houses of congress. The struggle has been long and bitter, and tho result is a notable triumph of the popular will over the desperate resistance of the money lenders of the country at large over two or three money centers. It bas at no time been a party question, since members of both political organizations have been ranged on either Bide. It regarded sectionally, then the result is a fair triumph of at least thirty-three states over five, for only New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Vermont can be equitably counted as against silver. If regarded from a popular point of view, remonetization was demanded by at least ten to one of tbe voting population of the United States. So far, then, the congressional indorsement of the principle is in accord with every theory of popular government. The story of this legislation may be briefly told, though tbe discussion has extended over a period of many months. Tbe doable standard was abandoned by a revision of the coinage act of 1873 which was made in 1874. It was so clandestinely accomplished that it was not till two years later that it became generally known that the monetary system of the country had been radically changed. Meanwhile many persons who bad been members of congress, and many otbeiB officially connected with the government, were profoundly ignorant of what had been done. As soon as it became evident to tbe country that this legislation, in connection with the resumption nc, was forcing a futile but dis astrous effort ta resume spetie payments in goid alone, there was an instantaneous and universal cry of "halt!" The first step to take was the restoration of the old money standa'd, to the abandonment of which the people had never consented. Mr. Bland, of Missouri, introduced a brief and simple bill as long ago as last spring to restore the silver dollar and provide for free coinage thereof on the same terms and conditions as the gold dollar. This bill failed for lack of time before the expiration of the session. At the beginning of the new congress a bill similar in terms was reported by the house committee on banking and currency, and has been known by courtesy as the Bland bill. It passed the house by more than a three-fourths majority. In tbe senate the bill was so amended as to eliminate the provision for free coinage, limit the coinage of sil ver dollars to $1,000,000 a month, secure to the government any profit that may accrue from the purchase and coinage of silver, and provide an appropriation for an international commission to urge the general adoption of the double standard. It is this b 11, adopted in the senate after an able and elaborate discussion of several month?, in which the house has now concurred. The bill now pawed received an actual vote of 4.S yeas to 21 nays in the senate, or more than two third., and, allowing for the known sentiments of the absent senators, a full vote would have been 52 yeai to 24 nays also more than two-thirds. The vote by which the house refused to table tbe bill as it came from the senate (which was the test vote) was 204 nays to 72 yeas, which was nearly a three-fourths vote in favor of the vote. If all the absentees (41) would have voted against tbe bill, which is absurd to maintain, there would still have been more than two-thirds majority for it. The bill was accepted by the house, nof because it is satisfactory in its details to the silver men, but because it Drovides a legal acknowledgment of the double standard, and furnishes a basis for making this double standard fully operative by future legislation. An analysis of the vote in the house shows that of the 72 votes cast against it 50 were republicans and 22 were democrats. Among these there were only three western members Garfield of Ohio, "and 8tewartof Minnesota, republicans, and Williams, demosrat, from Michigan. There were eight VJtes from tbe south against the bill, viz: Blsbee, republican, of Florida, Gibson and Leonard of Louisiana, Jorgensen of Vir?'nia, Metcalf of Missouri, Schleicher of exaa. Swain of Maryland and Williams of Delaware. Of all the votes against the bill New York furnished 11 republicans and 10 democrats: Massachusetts, eight republicans and one democrat; Pennsylvania, seven republicans and one democratNew Jersey, three republicans and three democrats; Vermont, three republican, and Main four republicans. The extreme inflationist, under the lead of Springer, of Illinois, and K wing, of Ohio, developed very little strength in their effort to oppose the bill on account of its shortcomings, and this encourages the belief that, if the bill be permitted to promptly cVcoaie a law under the sanction of the president, the greenhackers will be powerless to carry through their pet schemes of an unconditional repeal of the resumption act and the substitution of greenbacks for the national bank notes. But if the president interjHXses his veto, and that veto shall have the effect of preventing the bill from becoming a law, or even the effect of occasioning an Indefinite and hazardous postponement of a final settlement of the question, no man can foretell the extreme lengths to which natural resentment and justifiable indignation will drive the representatives of the people. - The personal sentiments of the president on the silver question have long been known, bat it should now be senousl j considered by him whether be has a mural rijiht to place himelf in opposition to the people after it has been absolutely demonstrated that they are represented in this question by more than two-thirds in both houses of congrt-ss. If the original vote were less than twothirds, and it were a matter of doubt whether the requisite constitutional majority could be obtained to prevail over the veto, the president might justify himself in using his prerogative, if prepared to give constitutional reasons for doing so. But the two-thirds vote hint already been cast; it is not possible that the president can urge any reasons, constitutional or otherwise, that have not already been ably presented and overridden ; and to interpose hi veto under these conditions will be to aasurae the personal re?ponsibility for all the expanse, disturoabc and anxiety incident to the unn;ctsary delay a vrto will occasion. It is a responsibility which no oie'maa should be willing to take upon himself.

WEBSTER'S OLD HOME.

Xlarsb field Destroy. The Boston Traveller has the following concerning the mansion of Daniel Webster, situated in the southeastern part of the town of Marsh field, Mass.. which was totally destroyed on the morning of Thursday, the 14th instant: "Tbe building was owned by Mrs. Fletcher Webster, who with her son was the sole occupant, and was insured in the Massachusetts Mutual insurance comSany for $6,200. The lady and ber son, upon iscovering that destruction of the mansion was only a question of time, set heroically at work, and in the short time allotted tbera succeeded in rescuing a quantity of silver late, pictures, and some other articles priceess as mementoes of Mr. Webster. It was thought that tbe valuable library had been destroyed when the intelligence .first spread among the neighborhood, but, an investigation sbowed that it had been removed some time since. Tbe building was quaint, and after no especial style of architecture, the various additions being added with more regard to the taste and convenience of the owner than general effect Tbe mansion, set back from the road some 300 yards, was painted white, and nearly hidden by the elms which have become so famous. The original owner was Captain John Thomas, a near and dear friend of Mr. Webster, and it is related that the latter upon visiting the spot became charmed with its great natural beauty, and entered into negotiations for its purchase. Captain Thomas, however, became financially embarrassed, and upon the urgent request of Mr. Webster he and his Wife occupied a room in the house until his decease. Tbe house was surrounded by a wide piazza, and to the west of the old building Mr. Webster had constructed an L, after a peculiar gothic pattern, for his library. This room was lighted by colored glass, which made it a favorite resort of all who paid the mansion a visit. Adjoining the library were the drawing room and a small reception room. To the rear of these apartments was the Immense dining hall, wine 50 feet in length. To the east of this was the main hall, about 125 feet in length, running the whole length of the building. At the easterly side of the house was tbt small sitting room, connected by a ball with the breakfast room. Passing through a ball one came into the large kitchen, in tbe rear of which was situated .the extensive dairy and wood shed. Upon tbe second floor, in front of the house was the room in which Daniel Webster died, on the right of the hall. Opposite to this, on the left of the hall, a large bedroom, succeeded by eight rooms of tbe same description. These apartments were very large. At the rear of the room in which Mr. Webster expired was another large bedroom, and over the library, on the extreme west of the' upper story, was situated the 'castrum,' so called because it had no entrance except from the bedrooms on either side. Some 400 feet from the mansion was the barn, and near by the various out buildings, but these were not destroyed." Tbe articles saved were but a small part of those in the house. The servants saved tbe greater nart of their clothing. Mrs. Webster saved some of her wearing apparel. Nothing in the upper stones was removed from tbe building. Of the fine collection of China nothing was r-aved, although a part of tbe silver was. A large punch bowl, presented to Daniel Webster by tbe Sandwich glass company, was lost. I he dining room con tafoed some costly antique furniture and tine engravings, which were lost, a portion of the library and the piano in tbe music room were saved. Among the portraits saved were those of Lord Ashburton, Judge Story, three of Daniel Webster, one of Mrs. Daniel Webster, thoss of their sons Colonel Fletcher and Major Edward an oil painting of the Virgin Mary, and a collection of butterflies presented to Mr. Webster by the. emperor of Brazil. Life ofa llella. Harper's Magazine What a picture would the life of the average woman of Fifth avenue or Beacon street present to us if we should lay it down without exaggeration on paper! Her school days over, it is her habit to walk into the breakfast room at 9 o'clock, just from her bed, ber front hair twisted over pins or bits ofisilk. She lounges reading tbe newspaper, chatting with others as purposeless as herself, warming her feet or gazing out of a window until 11; then she retires to arrange her toilet for tbe evening, perhaps to examine clean clothes from the wash, or perform some other household duty duties not to ba omitted, but which the economical woman (one who has learned the value of time) would have completed before the day began; then she dresses for afternoon calls, and, list in hand, descends to the lunch table. Here nearly another hour fades away before she begins ber afternoon round, flitting from house to house, cheerfully chatting of the Shaughraun,Nilsson, Kellogg of everything, in short, which concerns the shows of life, butfearef ul as one walking over a pitfall to avoid every subject of vital interest either to herself or to others. Then, the visits or drives ended, she hurries home in season to dress for dinner, and go somewhere afterward, as if to exhaust to the last drop her own vital strength and tbe hours of the day. This little record is not overdrawn. With certain modifications, this is tbe substance of the life of wives and daughters of well to do merchants in our cities. These days are varied by certain mornings given to music and others to painting. But bow small tbe average of those who achieve anything worth doing! A man to be a painter must not Eaint with half his mind. The same law olds good for the woman. Let every woman apply to her own life the doctrine of selection. The man is bred to this. What is your son going to be? parents are asked, and boys in the public school confide to each other the profession of their choice. No one asks the girl what is to be ber employment, what she is preparing for. The days of her pleasant school life glide by one after another, frequently no accurate scholarship has been required of her; and when the routine utops, she is without rudder and without aim. r let ion In tbe) Bible. From a paper by Dr. Holland, in Scrlbner for March. The oldest novel in existence is probably the book of Job. We presume there may be some men who still read tbe book of Job as a veritable history, but those who are capable of judging will simply place it at tbe head of the realm of fiction. That it is divinely inspired we do not dispute. Indeed, the establishment of its divine inspiration as a fact, rather than tbe acceptance of it as a matter of faith, would only strengthen the fosition we have always held, viz., that the lghest fiction is that which the most competently carries the most valuable burden of truth. The writer of the book of Job was a man, who in the dawn as it were, ot human history revolved in a catholic, cultured and reverent mind the unequal dealings of God with men. Why did the good roan have trouble? Job was an excellent man, "perfect and upright," stripped of every good, and the art by which the writer presents him a", one after another, his possessions are taken from him, and his friends discuss with him tbe great problem that vexes him with all the machinery of dialogues between the Almighty and Hitan, and th Almighty and Job himself, surpasses all the art of later times. Such imaginations and such descriptions, such conversations and arguments, such marvelous characterizations as are to be found Dowbere else in tbe whole range of II te rature. It is a book that bas commanded the admiration as well as the profound reverence of the greatest men who have ever lived, and it is a novel in nil its essential feat iis, even though we rail it a poem. The bwk of lie venation is a mvel, so far as It is an attempt to convey truth through typical fornix f.nd scenes arid events. It is in record of fact, but a panoramic representation of conceptions born in and addressed to the imagination. In short, it is

creation of art whatever may be its origin,

whether divine or human by which certain great, shadowy thoughts and ideas am attempted to be reDresented to the mental apprehensions or the faith of men. There are many devout believers in tbe inspiration of the ancient Scriptures who regard the story of the creation and' the fall of Adam rehearsed In the book of Genesis as anything but a literal representation of historic facts. The essential truth is in the narrative, but it is represented in such a way that the simplest mind can apprehend and make use of it. The song of Solomon was a very ex quisite essay in tbe art of fiction. If the books of Lather and Ruth are historical they are certainly nothing to us bat" stories with morals, and very strong beautiful stones they are. Tbe names of Ahasucros and Mordecal, and Hainan and Esther are nothing out names to the present reading world, which meant no more than those ot Daniel Deronda and Ralph Nickleby and Clarissa Marlowe. Uoaz and liuth might be Abelard and Heloise, or any other lovers. Tbe two stories are to us simple stories, having no significance particularly as history and no use, save in an exquisite form of art they convey, to as the moral lessons with which they are charged. On tbe Cars. Burdette In the Uawkeye. This has been a very eventful journey. Events and incidents have crowded on eacn other's heels with such rapidity that I have been scarcely able to catch my breath between them. It is remarkable how thirigs do happen. It is more remarkable, sometimes, how they don't happen. If all -the things that never do happen should happen, what a bonanza it would be for the newspa pers. I love to sit in the car and hear my fellow men talk. At this moment, and for many miles past. I am seated behind two young people and in front of two old people. The young people are talking theology. The young man's name is Jim. Tin young lady calls him so. He has read Ingersoll's latest. He believes it. She is .shocked. He avows his daring infidelity. She is speechless with horror. lie believes everything that Colonel Ingersoll says. He looks upon him a? a man inspired. I gather from his enthusiastic remarks that be believes Colonel logereoll made the world in six days and rested on tbe seventh. 1 find this belief is very prevalent among the young men of tbe day. It is, however, a mistake. Ancient manuscripts have recently been discovered from which it appears highly probable that the world was here several months before Colonel In gersoll happened. From tbe two females back of us, who have been visiting in Ottumwafor a week past, I am gleaning a great deal of family gossip The on'y drawback to information acquired in this way is that it is fragmentary tiid unsatisfactory, and is mingled with a devouring curiosity. For instance, one of the ladies has Informed her companion, and everybody else in this part of the car, "Mag is breaking fast; she isn t the woman she was vears age." And we are just crazy to know who Mag is now,- if she isn't tbe woman she waj; and furthermore, what woman she used to be. And we want to know what she is breaking. Her husband's heart? His head, more likely. Broken-hearted husbands don't grow on every bush. They went out of society with the last dodo. And then we are told, ' it is put off again, Ellen's marriage," and our informant savs. in a confidential shriek that drowns the roar of tbe cars, that ' phe wouldn't be a bit surprised if it was off this time for all and good." And I am just devoured jvith curiosity again. Ellen who? Who was she going to marry? And for what did they postpone the wedding this time? And why didn't they get married tbe first lime? Old gentleman flare up? Bridegroom too poor? Wedding dress not finished? Bridegroom's first wife suddenly turn up and raise a circus? I'd like to bet a dollar that Ellen doesn't get married at all. And why sboold she? Hasn't she got some big, lazy brother she can support, without getting a husband? Ellen, you stay at home. There are no good men in tbe world now. Marriageable men, that is. I just know that that fellow Ellen was going to marry is a great, fiat footed lout, who is afraid of bis wife's mother; his balr won't part straight, his clothes don't fit him, he snores, his breath is bad and be has cold feet. What under the canopy did Ellen ever want to marry him for, anyhow? Ah, Ah! padence always brings its own reward. The conversation lias changed. I recognize the names of the people now under discussion as friends of mine in Ottumwa. Oh, delightful treat! I shall hear something mean about my friends. Those provoking women.

Mr. Jose Ferrer de Couto, who was, up to the time of his death, the editor and proprietor of El Cronista, the organ of the Spanish government printed In this city, frequently expressed the wish that if he should die upon foreign soil his body should be buried in his native land, in the cemetery near Madrid. Mr. De Couto died last Juno in this city, at his house in West Twenty-third street, and his remains were placed temporarily in one of the vaults of the Marble cemetery on Second avenue. As soon as the news of his death was" received in ypain, King Alfonso, who had been informed of Mr. De Couto's desire to be buried in his native soil, issued an order commanding that his body should be brought to Spain at the earliest moment, and at the expense of the Spanish government. Tbe remains of the deceased were removed from tbe vault in the Marble cemetery yesterday, and placed on board of the Spanish bark An astasia which is now lyiDg at the Long Dock, Jr sey City.
