Albion last Thursday, supposed to be
insane. He is a son of Wm. Corcoran,
one of the old settlers in the northeast
ern part of Boone county. Stephen
was, until about two weeks ago, consid

living of himself and family. Houses

The bridge, it is now calculated, will be
1850 feet in length, with U foot span;
it is to be an "A" span bridge resting
upon a substantial three and four pile
trestle foundation, roadway 10 feet in
width, the floor to be of 2 inch oak.
The work is to be completed in sixty
days after the contract is signed, and to
cost $44? per lineal foot.

The Platte Bridge- The Ax Groaad. -Ed.
Jotjbnax.: I see in your issue of
the 2d an "error corrected" by E. M.
Sparhawk. I am unable to discover
wherein Mr. S. has made the "correction."
He admits as true that there is danger
of the north bank of the river, washing
around the ends of the bridge, and
should be avoided, he says by locating
20 or 30 rods further up stream, which
will require less bridging, give better
banks and furnish a good road. Now,
for the facts in the case. The point
named by Mr. S. would not be so good
as at the old location, for this reason:
the river has already washed out the
bank, making quite a bend in the river
above the point named by Mr. S. Now
anyone that knowB anything about the
Platte river knows or ought to know
that such a place should be avoided. It
would be but a short time until all would
be washed into the river. Mr. S. admits
that the second danger will bear watch
ing. Yes, it will bear watching, and it
will take something else besides watch
inga big expenditure of money and
labor, and then it won't keep the river
out. As for the "mud holes," they are
there all the same, whenever the ice
gorges the river, and high water in June
occurs. Now as to a road at or near
Kummer's mill, I would ask Mr. S.where
are the people living in Alexis twp. to
get a road to Columbus unless it is at
or near Kummer's mill, since he so
quietly got the road formerly traveled
by those people vacated through his
land? The people in Butler county have
to go by the way of Clear Creek at pres
ent. Now, as to "having an ax to grind,"
it appears that Mr. Sparhawk has al
ready ground his. If the people in
Butler county want a road through his
land, they will have to pay him big
damages for it. All the ax I have to
grind is to keep the Platte river from
washing a channel through my land,
doing me great damage, and which would
also stop Mr. S. and every one else from
getting to Columbus, unless they should
build another new bridge.

Sight
The following from the editorials of
the Etude should interest many students
of music:
" is a great accomplishment to be !
able to play oven simple music readily
and intelligibly at first sight. Teryfew
persons can do this thing welL Some
charlatans, however, . profess to play
anything' at sight. Unmusical people
have a very general belief that this is a
feat that any good musician can perform,
and the majority of those who are utter-ly-ignoant
of musical matters will not
hesitate to mention the names of musi
6ians who 'can play the most difficult
compositions correctly and artistically at
first 'sight.' Of course this claim is too
absurd even to merit a serious refutation
and it would not receive our attention
here but for the fact that there are many
students of music who are disposed to
undervalue their teachers when they
find they are unable to do what no great
AVTIdf-WnnlJ M A 1 m
tutu. -uuiu pruieas to ao. xnere may
be men who are able to read aloud sev
eral pages of- plain English without mis
taking some words and omitting, trans
posing and mispronouncing others with
out entirely missing the meaning of
some phrases and sentences, and mis
placing the emphasis in some places
there may be a few such renders in the
world, but the writer lias never heard
e&forie. But this is not a fair analogy.
Is" there, & man in the world who can at
first sight make a translation of the most
difficult Greek? If there is such a man,
he has not yet been heard from. And
yet it were easier to acquire such skill in
Greek than to read difficult music in a
faultless style. Perhaps the most won
derful reader of pianoforte music the
world ever saw was Franz Liszt. Of
this marvelous man, who could perform
so many miraculous feats, Dr. Louis
Maas, of Boston, says: 'When reading
some intricate passage, with too many
notes to take in at a glance, it suffices
for him to go through it slowly once or
twie until the tones are fixed in his
mind, when he can immediately play it
as others would do perhaps after a year's
practice. Neither Yon Bulow nor Bu
benstein can do this.' And yet there
are silly charlatans in many country dis
tricts who pretend to be able to do this
very thing!
Beady reading is a great accomplish
ment, and every musician should im
prove every opportunity to practice sight
reading. But the wise man will learn
the lesson of humility in every attempt
he makes in this direction. He is forced
face to face with the fact that human
skiu, nas very narrow limits, that art
long and time is fleeting.' "
