ADVENTURES or MORNING GowN.-A
lady was anxious to make her husband pres
ent on the occasion Of his birthday; and as it
happened to fall in winter, and at that time
in very severe winter. she thought com
Portable morning gown would be a most use
full acquisition to his domestic comforts. So
she went to a shop and purchased fine Per-
sian pattern merino and well-wadded morn
ing gown. She had forgotten the exact
height Of her husband, but to make sure of
its usefulness, she thought best to purchase
one rather too long than too short. The day
was rather wet her husband returned in the
afternoon from his Office, and she presented
him with the new article Of comfort; and he
fancied it a great comfort after he had put off
his wet clothes. But it was too long-about
ten inches too long. Oh, never mind, my
dear, said the afectionate wife; " can ca
silly shorten it to suit you" They had a
merry party in the evening they were very
merry. After they had gone to bed, the wind
was making such a noise, and the rain so
dashing against the window, that the lady
could not sleep; her husband however, slept
soundy. She arose without disturbing him,
took the morning gown and commenced her
work cut off about the length of ten inches,

She had to rise early the next morning.
The husband slept we'll, as is frequently the
case after merry evening party. Scarcely
had the good lady left the room when a sis

with thom-stolclnto the room on tip-toe, in
order not to disturb her brother-in-law, and
took the morning gown. fastening to her
room, she cut off ten inches, as she knew on

and asked his pleasure; upon which he re-

by ten inches. Scarcely was the morning

wife stepped in. The husband had just risen,
and purposed now to surprise his wife and
enjoy his comfort. But how surprised was
his better half to see her husband in fine
Persian pattern merino shooting jacket, in
stead of comfortable morning gown.

with England in opposition to the annexation Of

John Russell expressed his confidence that if this
scheme was opposed by the great powers 1t would
not be persisted in; and in the light of this decla
ration 1t would therefore seem that the solution
OF the question now rests with Russia Il ia DIFF

to the imperial programme, 1t has been plainly

it would have been notifying in the extreme
should our community have allowed this merton
ious performer to leave the city with her wonder
full talents, musical and dramatic, quite unrecoy-
niLed.
Blessings brighten as they take their fieht,'
and the enthusiasm with which Madame Colson
was met at every step in her performance of
Elena OH Saturday night, served to show that
her true merits had only dawned upon our opera
goers at the very last moment. She, as if warm.
ing up under the sunshine of appreciation, law
ished such wealth of song upon her auditory as
ELECTED new enthusiasm at every moment, and so
1t went on to the end of the opera.
Junca, the new basso, rendered the kingIy John
of Procda with infinite dignity, and sang with
good effect, but not with such marked power as
to displace Susini in the public regard as the
most satisfactory oPeratic basso lately heard in
Washington. Ferri and Stigelli won new lau-
rels in their respective roles. The opera indeed.
was performed with an evenness Of ability in ali
the leading parts most satisfactory to a highly
critical audience.
