Usaith and Income Of Jenny Lind.

Vtuifh unH fHc0Hie 81 SuHy LfHu.
II is said that Jenny Lind pays the
English income tax Of sa2. 500 annually
on money invested in the British funds.
In these funds she has no less the ESQ.
600. about s75s. 900. Her annual in
come, therefore. from that source alone.
is about $2z 900. She has given away
in charity about s400. 900. as nearly as
il can be estimated. slS5, 900 Of this
was given in England; s25. 900 in Ed
inburg. In Edinburg she gave five con-
certs at guinea ticket. On the first
four she cleared slO0, 600; and on the
fifth an additional 5000. which was
devoted to charitable purposes. The
entire amount Of her European wealth
is estimated at 81 900, 900.
OF her gains in this country We have
seen various estimates. A Boston COR
respondent Of the New York Herald
gives statement Of the receipts and ex-
penses attendingherAmerican concerts
She had then, at the date of this letter,
given seven concerts, which produced
one hundred and twelve thousand dol
lars. The expenses for each has averag-
ed about $500, leaving as net pro-
ceeds, seventy-three thousand dollars,
which is to be equally divided between
herself and Barnum. Her first concert
in Boston produced greater amount Of
money than any concert she ever gave
any where. The average receipts Of
the seven concerts was $4,000 each
If this average should continue for l5t
concerts, il will produce the enormous
sum Of two million four hundred thou
sand dollars. Deductins expenses. th'
net result would be more than millior
and half Of dollars. Barnum's pro
portion would be s778,750. But at
lover calculation. there is little doub'
that the $50 concerts will yield sl 900
600, and that Barnum will clear half ,
million dollars by this speculation
in one year.
The Christian reader will not forget,
while he justly appreciates the admira-
Bile moral qualities and noble charities
Of Jenny Lind, that the greatest bene.
factors Of the world lived and died
poor; and while every one praises Bar
mum for his money operations, grea
numbers are ready to accuse the minis
ters Of the gospel Of avarice and world
ly spirit who live upon four or five
hundred dollars year.

Some eighteen or iwcn iy years since,
a well known resident OF Upton county
was put on his trial, charged wiih the
murder of his wife. As usual in such ca

impression in his favor upon a jury. which

THE COMPROMISES pTTr

From Geographic report, we learn that The
compromise Bill has passed the Senate by ma.
lonty OF Is. notwithstanding this vote, the
Compromise is virtually dead. After having
passed through the several stages of amendment
and amended amendments it has been reduced
to mere skeleton and passed we do moi
ISno" what has passed. and unless the bill with
all ITS amendments and amended amendments
vas before US, we should fail 10 learn the na-
ture Of the bill which has been adopted. We
know enough, however; the Compromise Bill
proper IS IN reality defeated.
We shall not stop to enquire why this bill has
met this fate. One thing is sure. an unnatural
combination has defeated it, Ulras, opposed
upon all questions, have, by the operations of
some strange causes wonderfully harmonsed
Their thoughts and joined issues upon this q0c:-
non. And the meeting Of these cxhemes have
formed combination too powerful Tor the resis-
lance OF the combined efforts of unlon-loying
" hgs and Democrats. But we shall not longer
dwell upon this question. The Bill has been de-
ieafod, and defeated by The combination of the
unnatural allies, yet we edo not despair Of the
Reputie.' Every single feature in the bill will
come before Congress, and no doubt but that
winch was objected TO in a mass, will receive
support as scperate measures.
