The Boston Transcript saws of the soprano Miss
Adeina Patti:
Little Adelina was always destined to be
prodigy; AS child, she achieved what few
rived at point of excellence to which few artists
can attain. She reminds of the time when Jenny
Lind's star rose from obscurity to its zenith She

or pearls, yet she Is not mere mechanical singer
She touches heart and soul; she an actress born
with the intuition of all that is great Her mad
scene was beautiful and original inspiration;

Now, if 1t be the duty and province of the latter
TO cause the removal of nusances in private alleys
TO see that they are cleansed of all impurities that
are or may become dangerous to the public health,
why is it that this duty is not efficiently per

suthcient testimony to convict persons who place
