minute, when his clothes became entangled

him, except his necktie, his boots and stock

Many Of oSr readers win remember the
beautiful woman who, few years since,
sang to us SO beautifully, and perhaps feel
an interest in herfste. A California paper
gives the following description Of the 'Melo-
deon" at San Frsueisco, where she now
sings: .g ..
The orchestra consists of a very finely
toned piano, manipulated by Evans, and a
violin, when its services are required. Other
instruments may be used, but we did not
observe them. Entering the establishment,
we were confronted by the propr;etress,
seated behind q railing IN an easy chair
which much our heart did eoVet. Piacing
in the ladys palm quarter Of dollar we
passed through a brief bar-ToOm into the
parquette. The place was comfortably
filled and tolerably odorous with smoke, in
the haze of which a half dozen female
walters were gliding among the audience on
their spiritual missions like the shades in
the vision Of Macbeth p not exactly, how
ever, for the Thane saw q glass in the
hands of but one, while in this instance all
held two or more, besides box Of matches
and bundle of cigars.
One or two of these girls are quite pretty,
and have saucy look for any one ven-
turing q wink at them as they pass OF
sly pull at their sleeve. On entering, we
saw the entire company, with the exception
of the elder members of the Chapman family
end Madame Biscaccianti, sitting ia a semi
circle around the stage, giving conundrums,
the majority of which were rather venera-
bic, and interspersing the chit chat with
songs of all sorts. Madame Biscsccianti
concluded the musical interlude. She was
in excellent voice. She first sang kathleen
MavouIneen,p then "The Last Rose of Sum-
mer." Her face, we thought was sadder
than usual, and the smile with which she
greeted the audience reminded us of line
by poor Percival:
"'Twas a cheerful smile and broken heart''
It may have been fancy, but we imagined,
as she turned her eyes toward Heaven,
enraptured with the melody of her own
voice, we discerned gathering tear. Would
it be strange2 Might it not be that the
simple ballad touched a chord in the heart,
reviviDg for a moment a recollection of the
triumphs of the past, when the walls of La
Scala echoed her praises, and nation
claimed the rising glory as its own2 A
siHgle note Of, her voice is still enough to
tell the awakened listener that she is out of

has the music died out in her heart 2-has

Another objection which the grumblers
urge, is. that the day appointed is entirely
too soon-that times may so change that
it will be necessary to have a platform diff
ferent from that which might be adopted on
the 9th of January-and that there are
many Democrats in the ARM who could
not be represented. In regard to the time
being too soon, making it niece ssary to
change the platform before the election. it
might be well enough for those who doubt
their ability TO stand on one platform,
or maintain their POLITICAL principles from
January until October. to keep off the
Democratic platform. and go on Repub
iican platform, as it would be certain to fall
to peices in that length of time The
number of Democrats in the army will
probably be less on the 9Th Of January.
