Death OF the celebrated songstress Kate

Hayes.
Miss Catherine Hayes, the distinguished ed
Irish vocalist, is dead. The New York Her
aid has the following article on the event;
The news ofthe death of this distinguished
lady has Just reached us from Europe--news
which her many friends and admirers on this
side the Atlantic will be sorry to hear
Miss Hayes was born in Limerick, Ireland,
about the year 1920, and at an early age
showed a most decided talent for music, which
was kindly fostered by her friends, and,
thanks to the then Episcopal Bishop of her
native city she was enabled to receive les
sons from the accomplished Professor Sapio
in Dublin. Her first appearance in public
was in concerts, in which she sang with great
success the beautiful melodies of her native
land. But with increasing years grew am
bition and she determined to try her powers
in wider field, where success is sweeter and
fame more brilliant and lasting. She accord
ingly went to Paris, where She placed her
self under the tuition of the celebrated Span
ish teacher, Garcia and afterwards proceed
ed to Milan, where she became the pupil OF
Ronconl.
Her debut in opera was made at Morseil
las, in the "lIuguenots," in the year l8i5.-
She was Immediately afterwards engaged at
the celebrated theater of La Scala, in Milan,
where she gathered laurels from the most
discriminating musical audience in the world,
winning universal admiration by the simple
ity and naturalness of her manner and the
purity OF her voice, The season Of 1916 she
passed at Vienna and after having made the
tour of the principal cities Of Italy, made her
first appearance in London in 1919 Two
years later left Europe for the United States,
and arrived in this city in the Fall of 1851,
making her first appearance at Inpler Hall,
whore the Latarge Hotel now stands Her
successful career III this country is well
known. She seldom appeared in opera while
in the United States, preterring to appear in
concerts, following in this the example Of her
Swedish rival, who had just preceded her.
While here she became attached to her agent
Bushnell professional man, whom she
subsequently married. She afterwards visi-
ted California the Sandwich Islands, Austral-
ia and India, returning to London, where she
appeared at Covent Garden in 1855. At a
little later period her husband died
Her voice was a soprano of great compass
and strength, very smooth and remarkably
flexible In opera her most successful foieS
were Lucia, in Lucia di Ian mermoore, "and
Linda, in Linda di Chamouni" She APP
pcarcd occasionally in English opera with
Miss Noycllo, where her usual success atten-
ded her. In the judgment of some, however,
she was better in concert than on the stage
and certainly in the national melodies of heI
country Miss Hayes had no rival
The news which brings US the sad intelli-
gence of her death, does not tell Us where it
occurred, though it was, most probably in
England or Ireland-in her own sorrowful
land, perhaps, where che first drew iuspra-
tion from the melting strains of Carolon, and
the touching verses Of Moore.

The Potomac.

The following items from the Unions de-
tails of Eastern news by the Pony which ar
rived on Sunday, will be read with interest:
New YORK, Sept 2l-The Commercials
special dispatch states that it is reported that
there were several thousand rebels in the vi
cinily of Aqua Greek Washington is full of
rumors of an advance by the rebels soon,
even stating they had crossed the Potomac at
Edwards Ferry.
The Posts special dispatch says the pickets
of both armies are very close TO each other
on the other, side of the Potomac.
The Commercials dispatch says our scouts
report six rebel regiments at Fairfax and six
more further north.
Correspondence of the New York Times
says the rebels made IA demonstration in force
with eight pieces of artillery against our
pickets stationed at Falls Cross Roads. After
retiring a short distance our troops returned
the fire and finally compelled the enemy to
retire, when they resumed the possession OF
their former position. One private of a Mchi
gan regiment was slightly wounded. Mill
tary authorities think the present movements
of the rebels have no significance except to
keep their men actively employed to prevent
the decentralization or desertion Of their army
until they are prepared for grand move
ment or one is made against them.
Special to the Herald says: 1t is estimated
by men entitled to know, that there are 10
600 of the rebel army between lIarper's Fer
ry and Edwards Ferry, awaiting an oppor-
tunity to force crossing into Maryland, and
are willing to take the chances 1here Of an in
surrection of the malcontents, that will ena-
BILE them to transfer the conflict to that State,
and place Washington betwncn two rebel
armies. In the meantime hundreds Of the
Secessonits are gathering upon the eastern
shore for the purpose of carrying out the
programme of cutting off direct communica-
ton between Philadelphia and Baltimore
simultaneously to the passage of the rebels
across the Potomac At the little town Of
Easton, in Talbot county, the arrivals have
amounted to as many as fifty per duy. The
rebels are in such a condition that they are
compelled either to attempt to advance or to
retreat from the Potomac. The resources Of
this region are exhausted, and they cannot
much longer subsist their immense force on
the Virginia side of the Potomac. They must
either avail themselves of the riches Of the
splendid agricultural district of western Ma
rylaod or fall back at least upon the Kappa
hammock Their desperation will make live
ly times along the Potomac in few daysand
ycrhaps in a few hours.

TWO VERDICTS

from two very i'll portant sources, in relation to
CRISTADORO'S HAIR DYE.
The first of these decisions is from the pen of DR.
Chiffon, who has equal in this country as analy
tic chemist and declares the dye to be absolutely free
from dcleterous ingredients. This may be called
THE SCIENTIFIC VERDICT.
The second decision is popular The thousands
who use the dye are unanimous in recommending it
above all others, for the exquisite naturalness of the
blacks and browns it imparts and the rapidty of its
effect. This is
THE PUBLIC VERDICT.
The documents which constitute these verdicts may be

THE BRAVE AT HOME.
BY T. BUCHANAN READ.

l.
The maid who binds her warriors sash,
With smile that well her pain dissenbes,
The while beneath her dropping lash
One starry tear-drop hangs and trembles,
Tho heaven alone records the tear,
And Fame shall never know her story,
Her heart has shed a drop as dear
As ever dewed the field of glory!
II.
The wife who girds her husbands sword,
Md little ones who weep or wonder,
And bravely speaks the cheering word,
What tho her heart be rent asunder-
Doomed nightly in her dreams to hear
The bolts of war around him rattle,
Hath shed as sacred blood as e'er
Was poured upon the plain of battle!
The mother who conceals her grief,
While to her breast her son she presses
Then breathes few brave words and briet,
Kissing the patriot brow she blesses.
With no one but her secret God,
To know the pain that weighs upon her,
Sheds holy blood as e'er the sod,
Received on Freedoms field of honor!
