Little Pick no Pick after all.

M. L. Masseras, the highly gifted editor Of
the New York Courier dss Etats Unis, writes
letter from Philadelphis to his Journal, and
We extract the following:
:" he princely title of Miss Piccolomini has
already been, as every one knows, the subject
of many doubt and of many a CONTROVERSY;
but no precise datum had yet been reached to
settle the point at issue. This can be done in
few words. The father of the pretended
singing princess is plain man, such as you
and are, who acknowledged before God and
man the modest name of Clementini, until the
necessity was felt of throwing dust into the
public eye. 1t was then discovered that Mrs.
Clementini was descended, in q more or less
remote degree, from some one or other branch
OF the PlccolomiDi family, and the advantage
TO be derived from so providential relation
ship was soon understood. / should, however.
add that the merit of the discovery and it's
practical application was less attributable to
the artist and her family than to the impresario
homanI, who urged the prima donna to assume
an INDUSTRIOUS name in order, more securely, to
make herself illustrious. Ullmanps, 'twould
appear, are not all in the United States.
" Much noise has been made about the op-
position which the irresistible vocation of Miss
Piccollmini for the stage has met with On the
part OF her noble family. This opposition was
not altogether devoid Of truth; it was, never.
tneless, Dased on principle, and made for an
object quite different from what has been pre-
t.nded. Cardinal PIccolimini did not contest
Miss Clementini's right to follow the theatre.
but solely the right to assume a namc which
was not her own. 1t seems, also, that there
might be written an odyssey Of quite a spicy
Character on the truthful events Of Miss Glenn
entinl,s career, when placed in contrast with
the triumphal phsntasmsgoria in which she
mas become enveloped by the loquacity of her
Pu1ers. For example, in Florence we find in
her favor, On paper, a double ovation addressed
to both the artist and the patriot Acclaimed
by the crowd who had followed her to her
dwelling, she is made to utter forth from her
balcony these words, so worthy of a Roman
dame OF antiquity: Italians keep your en-
thusiasm for the deliverance Of our country y
We Deed only be reminded that this is sup-
posed to have taken place under the paternal
regime OF an Austrian protectorste, to feel
that 1t is more beautiful than nature. But
inhexible history goes still further. She gives
Us the assurance that, msladroitly presented
to the Florentines in the crushing part of Lu-
ereds BOrgia, Miss Clementini obtained, on
that occasion, anything but triumph.
" have obtained, in addition to much more,
the above valuable and precise information
from an old diletante, whom my lucky star
caused me to meet in the lobbies of the Phil.
adelphia Academy Of Music.
