_ THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, P.C., SATURDAY, re — THE LONG STRAD. Tt was an unlucky day for me—though 1 was not Dorn till ten years afterward—when tnat vig collar deor slammed to, and nipped off the end of Margaret's littie finger at the early age of seven. Margoret Was passionately fond of music, but could not sing, and her eucounter with the dvor prevented her from being @ Hrst-rate per- former On the plano. She would not content her- self with anything short of perfection; and so for years long and many the muste within her found no utterance. At last, after a few gray bairs berin to show themselves among her thick brown braids, Prof. Mohr advised her to learn the violin. We were spending some happy years together In Germany, Marguret playing-the role of guardian Erimaikin to my kittenish tnnocence. We were bof related, Dut as inseparable as the ladies of Liangollen. I took drawing lessons, and we were both deep in tanguages. In our free hours we were careless and happy as lambs in clover, until Prof. Mohr’ unlucky Suggestion started us on the road to despair. We were staying In“Muntch when this mtsfor- tune overtook us. Margaret was fired with en- thustasm at the thought of possibly being a good Musician at last. She was past 30, and for a while tortured herself with fears that this was too gid vo bexin to learn anything so difficult as the Solin. “But they raked up for her benefit many fustances of musteal prodigies turned out lave 3n life, to the astonishment of the wor! and them- selves. Perseveranee, aptitude and health would do wonders, Convinced at last of the wisdom of her under. taking, and radiant with hope, Margaret engaged & Master at tore marks an hour than would have Rald for haif a week of operas in the Gallerie Noble. She next commissioned some old virtuost and dealers in mustea! instume: her a good violin from beneath the dust and rub- Dish of ages. No easy matter this, for Mangaret hhad read deeply on the subject, and would be con- tent with nothing of a later dite than the seven- teenth century; and the graining of the. cun- Bingly mosaiced seyamore must undulate under its golden varnish “like the setting summer sun on clout and av At the expiration of a week Herr Bratwurst Wrote from the Tyrol, describing with Rowers ex- Travagance the jewel of an Instrument he had uu earthed at Brixen, among the goods and chattels Of an Israeuitish gentieman in the old clothes bus- iness, “When found, thts prize was a wreck, gone Lo pieces under bilidws of Dirasy satin cow.ls and theatrical coats of cotton velvet; but carefully set Logether asain by the magic hand of a Bratwurst, 48 Was worthy of Tarisio Limself.

Strange, uncouth sounds began now to issue trom our ite dwelling. It was a musical atmos- Phere where we lived, and people were prepared Tor the spasmodic wailing and sharp spiteful yells tuced by a Deginner ca the viol. » Otherwise should have been ashamed. Margaret worked with a feverish energy, and I Tnust confess that she made rapid progress.” From early morning till as late at night as the poli Tegulations allowed she flddled as tf for her life. She sawed the empty alr with her bow to exercise certain elbow muscles; played before the mirror Yo break herself of making hideous faces, wich caused me great delight; "racked her Draibs over ny, and split ber dwn ears and mine with Studies ahead of her capacities.

We trailed ‘Ww sympuony concerts till I was bored to death, and Margaret looked victimized in the picture gal: Jeries Where formeriy we bad spent such happy hours together.

Igiadly ggreed to accompany her, and our preparations for the trip were quickly made. I was secretly in Taptures at the thought of getting rid of my eneiy, the fiddie, fora while; but, alas? 1 was doomed to disappointment. While afranging our Dand-luggage in as compact a form as te T Jearned that the violin was to aecompany us. “But, Margaret, Sou need rest. Why not leave She violin here in saie bands, and return to it re- ireshed?” I sald hypocritically. “I should loose in @ week all I have tolled for through months,” she Said, with a reproachful glance; and I demurred no longer. Margaret then began to solemnly roll the instru- ment of torture in a yard of flannel, cover it fur- ther with my blanket and an old stlk handker- chief of generous dimensions, draw a green balze Dag over the resplendent mubogany case, and fast- ening a shawl strap round the whole, ft Fealy for its travels. My fears that the fiddle would be @ marplot throughout our journey were not without founds ‘on, and I soon Tealized that as a trip for rest and screation ours Was turning out a failure.

The Commons Declines to Treat the ‘Times’ Charges as a Breach of Privi- lege. George Price (conservative), resuming the debate in the house of commons last evening on ‘Mr. Glad- stone’s motion to appoint a committee to inquire into the Times’ charges against Mr. Dillon, sug- gested, amid derisive Parnellite laughter, that & Toyal commission be appointed to inquire into all of the charges against the Parnellites. He made the suggestion on his own responsibility. Sir Henry James regretted that Ne speakers among the Iberals had asserted that the administration of justice in England was so de- fective that it was impossible that a fair trial could be obtained on the issues involved in this controversy. He asked what single instance could be given to prove this scandalous assertion, Mr. Healy said that every possible question seemed worthy of Inquiry by the house, except & juestion affecting the character of its members. The Parnellites did not care a pinch of snuft whether they got this inquiry or not, but if the government majority recused this inquiry, the names of British lemen Would be placed on a level with that of an Indian thug. The Parnellites challenged the tories to combat at once on this question. They would stand on no technical ref- erences, but would meet any charges brought against them, From the decision of a majority of ‘the Louse the Parnellites would appeal to the peo- pie outside and to other nations, The Irish people never sent them there to favors, Dut to mand their rights. In spite of all obstacles they would in time obtain their rights. Major Saunderson said he did not wonder that ‘Mr. Gladstone tried to whitewash his Irtsh friends, who were now supplying his policy. Why, he asked, should the house ap} point a committee to in- juire into charges sustained by such proofs as the mes Offered? He challenged Mr. Dillon to dis- Prove the Times’ evidence, ‘Mr. Dillon.—“T have offered to enter into the charges fully berore a committee, I shall no longer exchange the He with members of thehouse over there.” A LIBERAL’S VIEWS. Mr. Henry Fowler, member for East Wolver- hampton, a Uberal, said be must deciine to believe that English juries were infallible, especially when political question was involved. The Parnel]ites did not desire to limit the inquiry. He had a tele- gram from Mr. Parnell, stating that he was quite willing to exténd the Inquiry so.as to include the forged letter published by the Times. Mr. Gladstone’s motion was then rejected by a vote of 317 to 233, and Sir Edward Clark’s motion that the house decline to treat the Times’ publica~ ton as a breach of privilege Was agreed to. THE “STANDAKD” DESERTS THE TORIES. The Standard, conservative organ, summing up the debate, declares it to have been a stupid tasco. As regards the forged Parnell letter in the Times the Standard as that Mr. Parnell was prob- ably unjustly accused. ‘The government are in- censed at the unexpected stand the Shoelane au- thority has taken, and influential tories have attempted to induce the editor wo withhold further adverse comments on the attitude of the ministry without effect. ‘The reply to hese representations sharp reproof for allowing a question touch ag The permanent interests Of parliument to be- pine @ Inlschievons party quarrel, The provin- jal press generally express Uhe opinion ubat the onduct of the government in this matter has greatly strengthened Une Parneliites in England aud damaged the unionists and tories.
