Our little compositor is in her ninth

Nr.\v Yonic , Feb. 3. [ Correspondence
of the Br.K.j It was in the summer ot
Ifsa that I iitst made the acquaintance of
Mrs. Tlmrber. I was visiting some-
friofids in the Calskills , at a cotlagTt
built upon her husband's properly. A
gioup of three rustic-looking structures is
perched near the top of ono of the moun
tains behind the ICaatorsklll.overlookinga
valley not unlike tlie Eugadine , in situa
tion a valley thousands of feet above
the soa. The Tlmrber mansion is the
largest ot the three , constructed of logH ,
but with a sloping roof and dormer
windows , and a wide veranda under thereof
roof , giving it a little of the appearance
of a Swiss chalet.
1 was staying at one of the smaller cot
tages with Mrs. T. M. Wheeler , ono of the
associated artists of New York , whoio
efforts to provide delicate labor for edu
cated women without means arc so pen-
orally appr ) oi'ited. Mis Tlmrber mar
ried Mrs. Wheeler's brother and the
family are naturally intimate. There
wore a good many literary , artistic and
fashionable people visiting Mrs. Whoelur
during the summer , and all were enter-
taini-ii by Mrs. Tlmrber , who. having the
larger house , wsis both able and \vitlitig
to oiler a bountitul hospitality.
I was. of course , thrown much with
her , ami was struck at once with her ap
pearance. She was a woman of not
more than thirty-live , and hardly looked
her years ; brunette in tone , with abun
dance of black hair ,
ANI > A rAii : or ri.Asmxc ; in Aric r.\is.
In the mountains her trim liguro was
always nlad in some tight-lilting stun" ,
made with a jacket and waisteo.it , the
waistcoat lighter in color ; with a collar
like a bov'-s , and a red or yellow silk
neckerchief knotted loosely to expose
her throat. She rarely wore r. hat , except
when driving , and her hair was often a
little dishevelled , llymg buck from her
luce , without bungor braids or curls
Up there .she always made me think of
a vivandicrc a woman , one would say ,
born for a coquette , vet 1 never saw a
spurk of coquetry about her.
She lived on the mountain live or six
months of the .var , with three charming
children , Ilio oliloslnot twelve years old ,
her husband away all the week , coming
home from town onlv to spend Saturday
and Sunday. She hail two titeady visitors
one an old French lady , nearly eighty
years old , full of refinement , for whom
'she had done some great benefits , ami
who.se gratitude in return , was profound ;
the other , a Hungarian artist of the
piano , not then known to the musical
public of America , but who has since ac
quired distinction , This lady played for
hours for Mrs. Thnrbor. and was as fond
of her as oven the old French gentle
woman ; indeed , there almost scorned a
rivalry in their devotion. These were
the only visitors who remained at night ,
except when her husband brought up a
clover man from town to stay with him a
day or two.

gave a dinner to Mrs. Wheeler's
guests , and often spent a morning in thn
neighboring cottage ; the rest of her time
she devoted to her reading and corres
pondence or to driving .she tliovo well
and to superintending the development
of a country place out of the wilds. In
this last tusk .she displayed consummate
taste. The torest was cleared only
enough to make room for the necessary
ground" . The walks and tices were not
too artilicially placed ; and only the wild
llowcrs that grow on the mountains wore
grouped aljont the door ; while the house
itself was furnished in complete eongrn-
iiv. The interior was half rough in ap
pearance with rustic stairways , the bal-
iiAiurs of birch with bark lett on , high
red brick chimneys built into the rooms ;
the log walls sealed. anil the
pine doors painted with golden
rod or asters , and quaint mottoes from
American poets , thorn wcro a
few rugs and curtains , not too fine ;
everything eomfortable but nothing out
of keeping with a mountain homo ; no in
trusive elegancies , nothing of tiie fashionable -
ionablo villa. Mrs. Tlmrber had a little
den of her own , with its cheerful lire
place and writing desk and book-shelves
and behind this she had built an exten
sion which held her grand piano , the
only elaborate luxury in which she in
dulged ; but this , she could not deny her-
si'li. ( Ivor the entrance to the house-
Hie terminus was roughly painted , to
welcome the tiroil traveler wno had
climbed bo far. anil there as he turned ,
the grand view met Ins eyes , wide , noble ,
varied , unrolled , from the very porch ;
woods anil valleys anil clouds , with here
and there a farm house or perhaps oven
a village ncntling among the hills and
trees.
I found the conversation of this genius
loci
t'KOl'UAU ANM ) INTEItr.SriNT ;
she had traveled , and reail , ami even
studied. She was the daughter of a Dan
ish father and an American mother , and
ono grandmother was French. Her
father , ntill living , is a virtuoso , a student
of music. For years lie belonged to a
little club of amaleur violinists , of which
Kiolianl Grant White and Joseph W.
Drexel wore also members : they mot
weekly at each other's houses to play the
works of the greatest masters ; anil doubt
less from this father the daughter inher
ited her passion for music. But the pas
sion is that of -ohohir and connoisseur ,
not that of an artist. I never heard Mrs.
Tlmrber perform , though she knows as
much about music critically as
any woman in America. She
speaks 1-ronch if anything better
than Knglish , and German as well ; Span
ish and Italian also are familiar to hor.
She reads the profoundcst works , as well
t\s the best French and Knglsih lighter
literature ; Spencer and Comto and hunt ,
Thackoray , hand , Bal/ae , Browning.
She discusses them too , but without a
spark of pedantry. For she is a woman
of the world , practical to the cuds of the
lingor.s ; not the least pretentious in art or
anything else , though almost learned-
tins little , pretty , vivacious woman of not
more tlmn thirty-live.
She is a wonderful manager. Her own
household was wolladininii-tored , andneo
wa > > always planning to do something
for bomobody else ; charitable to a fault ,
helping tlio poor anil the struggling ; but
sometimes lior good feeling carried her
100 far , and unworthy objects , especially
artists have played upon her woman's in
stincts and tfrawn too heavily on Her hus
band's well tilled purse.

and lets her do pretty much as she pleases.
Ho is known to the business community
as one of the most successful of Now
York merchants ; u grocer who manufac
tures his own wares , who has establish
ments in Knglnnd and Franco Mid
Switzerland and India to supply his
stores ; who before ho was forty had ac
cumulated his millions in legitimate
trade ; ono who raises trade by his wide
operations and grand designs , into ttio
dignity that it attained in the days of
the Venetian and Butch merchants , who
sat by the side of princes. This man has
his own political and public spirited
aims and yet sympathizes with the pro
jects of his cultivated and artistic , or
rather testhetio wife icsthetlc , however ,
without the sliRlitost touch of the fop
peries of Osonrildc or of ercen graj
gowns t r dittT yellow freiros.
Thus Mrs. lliurbor planned her moun
tain home and ninnnccd her mountain
estate , and Mr * Thurber paitl tl c bills
and enjoyed hi.s v\\fo's \ enjoyment. She
hitvd the mavms and carpenters , she
bargained with the farm people of the
neighborhood : she cut paths tlirough the
trees , built additions to ono hru-c and
removed another altognther , all at her
own will and acconling tp her own tisto :
and judgment , but nil in harmony with
her husband , who approved ( not only in
advance ) whatever -ho ttltl.
Ono day the coachman suddenly tiled
up there on the mountain side. It was
in the middle of the week. Mr. Tlmrber
waS wav ; no ono knew the man's friends
nor where they were to bo found , but
Mrs. Thurber telegraphed hither anil

It was when the three houses were com
pleted anil the miM'lunies were discharged :
ami she iiuited t'\ery man who had
worked on the houses , overv farmer for
miles around , ami their families , as well
as every friend she had in the neighbor
ing hotels , or in the more pretentious
villas , of which , however , there ate few
in that vicinity. The guests were all re
ceived by her-.elt an.I her husband at their
own house , ami then inyitell to dance in
one of-thc smaller ones , which hail not
tlmn been occupied ; there was ono great
room on the ground lloor decorated \\ith
autumn leaves and evergreens ; the village
band furnished the mtiMc , and Mrs.Thur
ber opened the ball with tiie master
mason. The orchestra consisted of live
men who sat on a tnblo composed of
planks laid over barrels ; they wore in
their shirt sleeves , and played strains
that nni"t have hanowed Inc ears of the
future founder of the Aineric.ui opera.
lnl ! she went through her part. Th"
loader cried "alaniaiig right , " and ala-
mang left , " and "ladies , change , " and
beat time with an enormous foul ; ami as
the figures usual in the Inchest society in
the Catskills were untamiiiar to the hos
tess , he often made her stop and try them
over again. Oneo when she wanted a
reel and ho a waithe jumped down from
his table and cried out : "I'd like to know
nho's running tins ore ball. Is it you or
me ? " Shi ) then meekly acquio'-ceil , with
more sulmnssivoness , 1 suspuet , than she
alwas displays in licrdealing with musi
cians better known to fame
There were til r-works and bonfires out
of doors , which could bo seen for miles
across the forest and the valley , and sup
per was served in Mrs. Wheeler's cottage ,
one lloor of which was converted into tlio
supper-room. The country people had
Drought their children , even the babies ,
and all went in to supper , which consisted
of the same delicacies Mrs. Thurber
would have furnished to ajp.irty of fi lends
at home. She inquired in advance of her
confidential adviser , the master mason ,
what uands he ? guests would probably
prefer , and was told they would be pleased
to be. entertained in Mrs. Thurbor's usual
style ;
SO Slir. SKNT TO TOWN" run OVSI'KUS
and ice cream : and J must say. Fume of
the company did ample justice to her hos
pitality
But all this while , planning , building ,
burying , entertaining , Mrs. Thurber had
a voluminous correspondence , anil evi
dently one great aim to wnlcn everything
in her life was subservient. She wanted
to elevate or widen the American taste in
music ; she wanted to build up a great
conservatory or school for inusio on this
continent. For this she was correspond
ing with the most eminent artists and com-
postirs at homo and abroad ; dispensing
money , and spending time and labor and
thought. She talked of her scheme when
ever any ono would listc , and with an
earnestness that enchained attention , a
clearness that elucidated the idea , an
eloquence that convinced , a persistency
that would not bo denied. For the three
summers I saw her in the same way
'
almost intimately ; and long before ho'r
enterprise was known to the world I had
heard all about it from her own lips.
In town I have seen but little of her ,
for there her time was absorbed in her
great work. She is not apparently a
woman who cares for fashionable soci
ety ; she never goes to balls , and hardly
over dines out or pays ceremonious calls ;
though with her wealth and cultivation ,
her own attractiveness and her husband's
growing influence , I suppose she might
command a position that many women
would envy. But she gives up all this to
originate and develop the great scheme
of a national school of music in America.
Last winter she inaugurated the Amer
ican opera , to show that America can
produce good voices and to teach that if
Americans arc capable of performing
good music they can in time make KOOI !
music of their own , Her labors , I am
told , have been prodigious. She has vis
ited personally many of the most import
ant capitalists in all the larger cities of
the union to enlist their sympathy and
procure their subscriptions. She corro-
Ajmnds with men of letters and art , men
of business , salesmen , women of fashion ,
artists , composers , managers , directors.
She was years in placing her cnturpriso
on a footing at all ; mooting many obsta
cles , rebufl's , disappointments , much in
difference , sonic incredulity ,
NOT A i.trn.R uiVAijir.
But she has organized a corporation ,
she has obtained capital , she has herself
contributed more than generously ; she
has awakened individual and public in
terest. She travels from city to city with
her company , supervising its perform
ances and UK business ; she is present at
rehearsals ; she suggests changes in per
formances ; she settles disputes among
artists ; she purchases the scores of now
operas ; she listens to the trials of untried
chorus sjngors. She persuades editors ;
she obtains tlio ofl'or of the opera house
frco ; she detects a false note in a per
formance ; she procures a legislature to
incorporate her fcchomo.
Thu idea has sei/ed upon the public
mind , the workers will incut with now
dillicultics , tlio plan will encounter fur
ther obstacles ; but In the end it will un
doubtedly succejcd ; and when success is
achieved , the country will know that for
this success it is indebted to the inito-
fatlgablo energy , the forethought , the re
source the courage , the wit and will com
bined , of Jeannette M. Thnrbor.
Ono trait of this lady 1 hayo loft for the
last1 the modoaty with which she has at
tributed to other wio have adopted her
plans or seconded her views , or labored
under her inspiration that credit which
she herself might have claimed. But
Bho seems to desire only the success of
her enterprise , not the glory of ac
complishing it. Slip shrinks back from
pralsa or comment , only the artists can
bo applauded and the conservatory
founded. I hardly know if with this pecu
liarity she will pardon my Picture of her
life and labors anil personality. But ono
who docs so much for the publio is of
interest to the public. Princesses abroad
are no longer private ladies and do not
complain of the prominence which tlioir
station confers ; and benefactors , oven of
the guntler sex , must submit sometimes
to the grateful gaze of those they bonelit.
Even this price Mrs. Thurbor , perhaps ,
will consent to pay in so good a cause.

A I'Ol'NT OKMtttr. ACCOl'NT.
The name of George , tlio Count
Joannes , a few years ago was as well
known in this country as that of the pres
ident. In his last days , ho was a butt for
tht ! jibe.i anil jokes ami rudeness of men
who had not a titlio of his knowledge. ,
but who kept in butter cheek , under bet
ter control , the powers they did posses .
The count was universally considered
a crank.
His fancy for the stage was thought ev
idence of his partial insanity. His fond-
m"-3 for litigation induced many to think
him hare brainetl , yet in his day ho had
been an actor of extraordinary merit , a
scholar of unusual attainment. * , a gentle
man along tin ; line of aeconiplMinients ,
whose equal we rarely meet. It was the
iashiou to induct ! the Count to play Ham
let , King Lear. Otliollo , and to attend his
every entrance with cat calls mid .songs ,
ami when he strode across the stage to
mark time for him , right , left , right , left ,
right , left , anil his performances were
scenes of ahsojnto confusion anil gootl
natnred jollilication , such as we never
witnessed on any other occasion. Yet I
distinctly recall his interpretation of
King Richard as one of the linost intel
lectual treats 1 over enjoyed. His read
ing wa- > perfect , his elocution admirable.
Ins bearing that which , according to text
anil understanding , aptly portrayed the
crafty tyrant , whose momentary repre
sentative he was. Lawyars tell mo that
his familiarity with codes and procedure
was marvellous.
SIMl'l.V A "MTTI.i : OI'l' . "
Was ho a success ?
In no sense.
If he was so line an actor , why didn't
ho have hones. ! opportunity ?
Hocanso ho was odd. Because he was
a crank. Hccanse for years the reputa
tion ot an unbalanced mind had haloud
his shapely head. If lie was so well in
formed a lawyer why tlid ho not have
gained cases , anil earn a livelihood ? He-
cause in appcar.ineo ho was queer. Ho
wore a long curly black wig. Ho died
his mustache an imperial black. Ho
wore a faded suit of dollies , and from his
nock depended the insignia of the Legion
of Honor. I have In my tcrapbook sev
eral articles of Shakesporean research
from his pen , which are instructive to the
last degree , and entertaining as Ins writ
ing always was. Here , then , was a man
gifted beyond the ordinary mortal in
mind and body. lie was a handsome
fellow , an export fisherman , a bulls-eye
marksman , a sportsman in all that that
implies , with external graces that har
monized with the kindness of his heart.
A man of Hue education , scholarly tastes
and refined instincts , and yet fie lived
the life of an oddity , and died the death
of a beggar. Why ? Was he crazy ? Was
he incompetent to manage his own af
fairs ? Was he devilish ? No , he was sim
ply a "little oil' . " He was eccentric , his
ways were not like our ways.
Ot r.r.n .toii.vr.icAimr.
For many years the leader of tlie crim
inal bar in this city was John Graham.
I saw him yesterday , now a very old
man. Oneo ho was the fashion. No
great murder ca e could be tried without
John Graham. Later when the infamies
ot Tweed , Sweeney and company were
before the pirblic , Graham was ehonon as
the man among all the leaders of the bur
as chief consultant. Ho defended Mao-
Farlan , the assassin of Albert D. Kich-
anlson and by the way MacFarlan
floated to the surface of the gutter n few
clays since , and was soul to a refuge , an
utterly used up and played out and unable
to do anything for himself anil thn list
of noted men ho formerly defended would
fill columns of your paper. Little by little
he gained the reputation of being queer.
Ho always wore , and wears , 11 lingo By
ronio collar turned far over his coat , exposing -
posing a vast neck surface. His manor
is forceful , almost brutal at times , und
his temper just this sitto of ungovernable.
Ho , it was , in the court of general sca-
sionSjWhon the ease of MaoFarlan was
before Hccorder Ilackett , who , after a
low words with the acting district attor
ney , subsequently Judge Noah Davis of
the supreme court , sui/.nd a huge volume
of the cede and threatened to brain his
antagonist then anil thoro.
No one over heard of Graham in social
life. No ono over encountered him in
public assembly , or found him in scenes
of gaiety. Humors llittod here and there
as to the way ho .spent his hours of
leisure , and gradually , as ago crept over
htm , and ho was semi very rarely in the
courts , and loss frequently on the street ,
it was said , ho is "a little oil' . "
LOST TO TI1K I'l'lll.lO IJVK.
That ho is an oddity ono trlauco will
sullico to show. That ho is peculiar ami
strange ami has his own fancies of dress ,
of bearing , of speech , all who know him
will readily admit. I saw him on Sixth
avenue walking almost with a totter , his
derby hat pulled down over his eyes , his
long yellow wig lloatingon his .shoulders ,
his hugo white collar turned owtr as of
old , and I watched him as I walked near
him , block after block , and , to my amaze
ment , that liguro once as familiar to the
average promenader on Broadway as the
spire of Grace church itself , was absolutely
unrecognized by a solitary individual ill
the course of a naif hour's walk.
So far as the goiuT.il public is con
cerned , John Graham i blotted from ex
istence.
Not that ho is not ono of the brightest
men in his profession , not that ho is not
kind-hearted , as opun-handud a man as
over , but because of long continuity in
eccentricity of dross of speech , of general
bearing toward Ids fellows , he ean Hhow
himsell to bo odd , a little oil' , the general
track.
Yet who would consider him insane ?
Who would say that this. man who has

Who can forgot Horace Groelcy'safi'ee-
tations of eccentricity ?
Ho was no manner of means the fool
ho assumed to bo. That he was ambitious ,
anxious for pnulic favor and loiul ot
money , open to adulation anil flattery ,
who that knew Ins life would presume to
deny ? How then can his all'eelations of
dress , for they were affectations , bo ac
counted for , save on the theory of an un
balanced mind ? Did it.scorn reasonable
that a man after years of metropolitan
life , at the head of a great , and at fho
time the greatest , journal in America ,
associating with tlio lir.st mon of his time ,
identified with all broad movements in
the interest of his fellow men , could , un
less bv accident , make n guy of himself ,
morning , noon anil night , unless he did
it with intent ?
I recall four illustrations of intentional
aU'eclation on tlio part of Horace ( rreeloy.
The first was in Sacramento , C'al. A
largo mulicnco had assembled to hear
him speak , and he was detained on the
road. On arrival ho was driven to the
St. George hotel and hurried to a room
tlmt ho might partake of some refresh
ment and dress before his lecture. The
impatience of tlio audience was assuaged
by the announcement that Mr. Greoloy
was adjusting his toilet , anil making
himself comtqrtablc after a long and
tedious stage rido. lie reached the hall
at ! ) o'clock.
Was ho dressed ?
How ?
Precisely as when ho left the stage
coach. Ho hail not washed his fuco nor
hi.s hands. Ho Jmtin't changed a single
article of attire from coat to shirt , from
colhur to boots. Absolutely covered vvitlt
dust , witli cravat awry , with collar dirty
and rumpled , with shirt front disar
ranged , with unpolished boots ho sham
bled into tlio hull , anil up the long aisle ,
until standing on the platform , dirty , ill-
kempt , unattr.tctivo , lie faced the autii-
once , mainlv of Now England men ami
women , each arrayed in accordance with
decorum.
What was this'
Eccentricity , oililnoss not only , but an
afl'cctation of the extremity of oach.
oitnujiv's "IIIOII-TONII : > " PANTS ,
On another occasion in Paris , ho , as n
delegate from the United States to the
great exposition , was notified to meet his
Icllow-delcgutos in a specified saloon. Mr.
Greoloy and Erastus Brooks , another del
egate , arrived in advance of the others ,
Mr. Brooks , who was the very personifi
cation of neatness and trimnosR , noticed
that Mr. Gruoloy's trousers wore hitched
up over the leg of his boot , anil at some
personal n convenience having called Ins
attention to it , Kneeled ami adjusted the
garment. Later on , in the reception
room , wlicrn the delegates from all coun
tries had met for a formal presentation ,
imagine the disgust and annoyance of
Mr. Brooks when ho .saw that Air. ( Jree-
ley hail re disarranged his trousers , HO
that the bottoms of them still rested upon
the legs of his boots.
What was that ?
Years after that I had occasion to call
on Mr. Greolov in his homo relative lo
matters in Washington. Ho was ill and
in bed , The bedstead was placed across
the eornor of the room. In the center
was a revolving book-case , against which
rested a long mirror. Articles ot cloth
ing were Htrown about the floor and in-
ton.sost confusion dominated the place.
Mr. Greoloy was not seriously ill. but by
the d'lvico ' of his physician kept his boil
several days. So f-ir as confusion , nial-
arrangement anil upsidcdownativoness
were concerned that bedroom capped
the climax
Was that intentional ?
The smtuo of Benjamin Franlin was setup
up some time after then in Printing
House square , immediately in trent of the
Tribune building. A committee of ar
rangements provided places on the pro-
grammo for Profesior Morse , Mr. Greo
loy anil others. Wo wore all to moot in
the Tribune editorial rooms nnd go in
procession to the slatuo. It was a memorable -
orablo occasion , nnd every man paid niieh
respect to the proprieties ai could bn indicated -
dicatod by demeanor and costume. Mr.
Greoloy walked down the stairs arm in
arm with Professor Morsu. with thn col
lar of his overcoat turned inwards , his
nocklio awry , anil on j leof his trousers
hitched up on top of his boot.
rito.Misi.sri : mtiKi : > s KCCKNTHICITV.
Was that intentional or accidental ?
Horace Grceloy was a man packed with
atl'ectations. I always believed hiu eccen
tricities to bn assumed because they were
such palpable contradictions of all that
ho saw about him. of all ho learned from
his unusual attrition with men of the
world. Ho was proud of the oddity ho
presented. It gratified him to be pointed
out as peculiar , as distinct in his person
ality from his fellows. An evidence of
weakness * you think ? Why certajnly an
evidence of weakness in one of the great
est , one of the grainiest men known to
American history. Ho would have been
a brave man who dared pronounce Horace
Greoloy insane by reason of these peculiar
developments , and yet it is tlilncult to
reconcile hl-i unquestioned ability , bin
world-wide experience , his rare power of
thought , his competency in argument.
witli these potty developments of vanity
anil of self-satisfaction.
When you come to thUik of it yon will
find oudoiico of eccentricity in nearly all
the men and women of prominence you
ever hcaid of.
I'ako. Mrs. Stowo , Miss Harriet
llocchcr , Muss Susan B. Anthony , Mrs.
Cady Stanton , Dr. Mary Walker , Miss
Anna Diekonson , Charlotte Cushman ,
Palti and scores of less conspicuous people
ple in publio and private life , and find
confirm.ition ot my assertion. What , for
instance , was ever written along the line
of imagination more odtl or nncer or pe
culiar than the life of Mathilda Heron ?
Clara Morris's existence is honeycombed.
witli unique developments , which
wouldn't bo tolerated for an instant were

of mo see how" Prof. Emmons , who
must be a man of intelligence and
education , coula have expected to
prove Ins wife insane and incapable of
managing her own ull'airs , by a simple
rehearsal of extraordinary conduct on
her part. She had simply to present her
self to a jury to convince them that queer
and eccentric as .she was , she was n
woman ot unusual mental calibre , anil KO
far as the Emmons household was con
cerned , the gray inaro was much the bet
ter horse. Ami as it was with her , so it
is in ninely-nino o t of every hundred
casus of insanity , ami I doubt mo very
much if there i.s any equity in control-
ing the personal liberty of any man or
