TliS ART OF FL EASING'.' A late writer begins his criticism of a contemporary poet by saying that he b«r«'t*%p*i$oJe«8 gift of jpeaaing." A gpeat pdtot might not be satisfied with thi§ measuro*t upraise an4 yet is oxdqt. I The po®t yebo can always please BUT readers will al-

awKfci^iv? one, too.

m-t«fed!^tend to write ror the encouragement of poet* but for the many who have no aspiration for A seat on Parnassus. The

MgWt

of pleasing

Is not more precious to the poet than to any other person. If it brings the former fame, it brings the latter friends and fortune. To say that the man or the woman who posseesee pleasing and Winning manners, other things being equal, advances in the world faster than the one w*h is destitute of these quail ties, Is but to say what everyone already knows.

The "gift ef pleasing" is not altogether a gift it is, to a great extent, an art. It Is learned, a« other thing* are learned, by effort and cultivation. It is true that aome people are born with crusty, crabbed dispositions and others, with te*»fem of angelie sweetness and it lows of course that the art of pleasing? is much more easily soqulred by the latter than by the former. But for aid that It does not signify that because a Baa happens to be born a boor he shall always remain one. Hie business Is to do the best be can with bad material. The old adage may be true which states the snaking of a ail It purse from a sow's •af'tf b* IsqfMMibte bat tfeat does not prove that a sow's ear will be equally useless for any other purpose. Many a one has compered his disposition with ibe better one of his mom fortunate

And has become so discour

aged by the comparison as to give op all hope of ever making anything good of himself. It saay be Just possible in soeti «asea that he has given his neighbor too BB«b credit for natural Rifts and too liUle for the acquisitions hiaown efforts have brenght Hps. In other words, the gift of pleasing and che art of pleating •tayaoddeso ran together tbet the eye of the en-looker cannot distinguish the dlvMteg Hue between them.

The art of pleasing Is one off those arts which ought to be studied universally.

of whom la doing ail In his power to make' himself agreeable to the rest. Occasionally spectacles of that kind are to be seen, bnt they ate rare. A mooh more frequent right,hi a collection of people where the art of pleasing is somewhat neglected, and the result ia leas exhilarating. No one neod wait for an opportunity to oaltivata himself in this direction. Hie opportunity is present with him everywhere. He will do well to begin with his wife and Childreo at home, extend bis efforts ta, his neigh bors and presently experiment upon people in general wherever he meets them. T%e result will be highly satis factory to all parties. Not only will the subjects of his experiments be gratified, bnt tbe experimenter lilmself will

ceive a reflex benefit. He will note with a keen sense of pleasure the improvement in his disposition |gid will soon begin to think that he is »ot made of anch bad material after all. He will take new oouragef and his appetite for greater attainments in the art will be whetted by the pleasure which the exercise of it brings him for there is feally no other pleasure that is equal to that of making others happy. The man or women who are always able to be pleasant and agreeable to those about them are twice.blessed first in the.en joyment they afford others, and next ia the reflex happiness which comes to them. The art of pleasing is one which we can sincerely recommend ail our readers to oultlvate. It will bear precious fruit.

A Washington correspondent writes that Mr. Blaine has greatly overdone the thing in hisrecent action concerning the investigation of the elections in the South, and that it Is evident his prime motive was the advancement of his own interests as a presidential candidate in 1880. His action was hasty and in advance of that of his party merely that he might curry favor with southern Republicans, and in providing for a committee of' investigation bn Which he absolutely refused to take a place, his party colleagues in the Senate accuse him of. attempting to obtain ,all the credit of ^he measure while shirking the laboj sn| r$spQ*raibijit^i requisite to carrying It out. Because of the selfish spirit displayed in tbia matter, the correspondent states that Mr. Blaine is the subject of ill-concealed, contempt among the members of bis party.

A WJUTBR in the Washington (D. C.) Star,

Bpeaking

of the principal talkers in

Congress, says of Senator Voorhees: "Voorhees,, on the other hand, is all graoe. He makes but few speeches, except those for which he makes ample preparation, and rehearses to the minutest detail all his solid points before delivering them. He isoool, self-posses-86$, hfcs 9 r^pnant, powerful and sympathetic voice and is always able to hold bis audience. His perorations are masterly and incisivG."

THE biggest thing in the way of a holiday, ttewj-tpapei? publication jffas ,come to our table is' the Baltimore Every Saturday, of last week. It is eixteen pages in aiee, the pages nearly as large as The Mail, bound and covered ip pamphlet style, filled with good reading, elegant pictures and /at advertisements appropriate to the geasoq.

'In Rev. S. S. Martin's article last week, were two, errors which the comipositor failed to correct as marked in the '^proof-slip. The word "genesis" should .have been "gepius"' and "human-wise!' .should have read "human forco."

LITTLE EMMA ABBOTT,

A UFB ROMANCE AND INDOMITABLE PLUCK.

Raima Abbott, who oomes to us on Monday evening with the Hess Opera Troupe, baa by her romantic career attracted the attention of the publio all over the oonntry. The indomitable pluck with wbioh she hts fought her way to the very front rank of American singers has won the bearta of a publio which Applauds even less the genius that achieves the victory than admires the oourage that knows no defeat. Mary Clemmer, the brilliant Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati Cummer ciai, in a reoent letter says:

LITTLK EMMA ABBOTT

Won many heart8 bore last week—as many by hersolf as bv her voice. It is not t»asy to look ooldly upon a little woman who, as a little girl, set out to seek her fortune in the wide,wide world, with no money to pay her car fare, with nothing but the guitar in her band, the will In her mind, and the genius in her soul. Her own ritory of those first concerts of hers is exceedingly interesting "Oh, but I have appeared before very small audiences. I remember onoe (with one of her ringing, musical laughs) when the receipts were only a dollar and a half but that was when I was a little girl, giving conoerts all by myself." 4 "Did you f" "Yes, indeed, when I was but nine years old I commenced giving concerts in the little towns. Oh, but I wai a poor, forlorn little waif. You ought to have seen me then." And as she recalled the picture of herself she laughed heartily. "I remember," she. continued, "my little tickets they were only about so big (and ebo measured off on her fingers about an inch oue way and three-quart-ers the other way). I had printed on them 'Abbott's Grand Concert.' I tuought that eoupded big, you know. •AdtnitTfm! beafe^26 cents children. 10 cents.' My father was with me at first, and sometimes my brother George sang with me.

My father was one of those unfortunate men who never succeeded in anything ha undertook. No matter what be tried to do,it failed, and,finally, the day came when we^bad no bread in the house. Then I foot ay guitar and weutttrom town to town»giving conoert* Oh, my, just to think oi it! I bad never bad a bit of jnusical education. I sang just like a bird does, and had a little tiny-voice about the sire of a knitting needle. IJmade out grand programmes though, and sang in Italian—I've since since found out it was not the purest Tuscan. I treated my audiences to the grand aria Bacio,' 'Salut a ia France' ('Daughter of the Kfecfitrtent tfoti'Klitfw), *La ZingarellV and innufttjerttbKB'llttle ballads. Then I gave the 'Battle of Sebastopol,' representing the rattle of musketry and roll of the drurid. Ob, I gave a good little efftertai«ff6hf, if I was a wee bit of a girl. I hadn't tbq least bit of musical education, wnd1 kuewabsolutely nothing about the soience of music. *1 Wm determined to 'have a mosicaa education, though I couldn't imaging howl was ever to obtain it.

I cherished the highest aspirations. Aim at the sun, you know, and your arrow will go higher than if you aim at some little bush. I had no definite plans, but I meant to progress.

You are certain as you hear her sing that she is a Winsome, loving woman, full of generous and sweet affections. It Is the heart vibrating through the voice which makes so many of her notes thrill you with their pathetic tenderness. There Is a dellcions, sympathetic tenderness In it which strikes straight to one's sensibilities and while she sings at all Emma Abbot Is sqre to sing her way into the hearts of the people.

Washington is native soil to the English Opera. It seems but the other day since sat week in and week out listening to Caroline Rlchlngs and her troupe sing these very operas. What andiences she had, to.be sure But where Is Caroline Rlchlngs? Nobody hears of her now. Has she passed with things gone by? She always seemed to me one of the women who bad an undeservedly hard time. Here are heir oomrfde*, Castle And Mrs. Seguln. singing with Emma Abbot.
