| In Paris II IS matter OF rivalry which
Of the great composers shall pay mos
homage to Patti. ROssini, that fine old
genius, bon vivant, gentleman, and mas.
ter Of chords and scales, tells everybody
how irresistibly charming she is, writes
gallant verses in her album to his "divine
little Patti" plays for hours at the piano
while she sings over his shoulders, and
at eighty-fOur is desperately smitten with
this girl Of twenty. Verdi is equally
| laudatOry of her musical charms, and
declared not long ago that he never
| knew what LeonOrR, in "TrOvatOre, u
was capable of till he heard her sing it.
! The Paris CldFiUdri publishes a cut
representing "IS67,U a female figure
seated, crowning with a laurel wreath
an unnaturally tall old woman, wearing
| the well known Prussian helmet with a
spike at the top, and bending down to
receive the favor. Below is written
First prize for rapid growth awarded
| to Prussia. n. B.-The successful can
didate is, however, little out Of shape" "
The memoirs of Prince Talleyrand
| will soon be published, and will prove q
curious addition to the history OF modern
diplomacy. The prince forbade his heirs
to publish them under thirty years after
his decease, which, it will be remem-
bered, occurred in May, 1888. Most Of
the personages mentioned are now dead.
1t has been well said, "No one can tell
the influence Talleyrand exerted, except
Talleyrand himself.n
The eccentric Mrs. Lyons, who
adopted the spiritualist Hume and made
him rich, and now wants to get rid Of

eeedings were regular. The gift was de
liberately made, and Hume assumed the
lady's name IS an equivalent, besides
waiting upon her in a most devoted
way. The money, SI50,OOO in all, is in
vested in real estate mortgages, in the
hands of trustees, and it is hardly proba-
BILE that the approaching trial will restore
it to the widow.
The Bombay Gazette says: In the
central provinces of India alone, during
the past year and a half, 1874 tigers and
cubs have been killed, besides a large
number Of other thigh game"

erary pseudonym Of Louisa Muhlbach,

turing tour. She will be accompanied
by her younger daughter, aged fourteen.
Mrs. Mundt is fiity-three years of age.
The Liberte announces q fact which
it says, has not received the attention it
deserved. The Alps no longer separate
Italy and Germany. The first locomo-
tive has crossed the mountains, and
Venice is thirty-five hours from Frank
fOFt.
The Saturday ReVietV says. "The
Mo1aitetlr has managed, by half century
of living, under the orders of every posi-
BILE kind Of government, to establish such
a reputation that it is only believed when
the news it gives is bad news"
