ADELINA PATTI AND HER COSTUMES
-Adelina Patti and her rich costume
in "Orispino La Camare" are drawing
pOlyglot coin at the Itahens. Roubles,
piastres, dollars, guineas, reichthalers
shower down on Mr.. BagIer. The most
wonderful of her robes is made of
white MORE, worked with camelias of
silver thread, done by hand; it cost q
600 francs. / lately had little cause
RE with the diod who lives in the
Champs Elysees. It was early morn
and at an hour when diUGs and other
theatrical stars are supposed to look
prosaie, after paste, rouge, and short
sleep; but / hasten to say that Mile.
Patti, seen close, appears more juven-
lie even than on the stage. her skin
is not assaulted by cosmetic, and there
is no vestige of paint on her eyelashes,
as her contemporary rivals will main
tain. She wore a deep blue poplin
costume, somewhat short, the body
and upper part of the skirt round the
waist were trimmed with cross cuts of
the same material, piped around with
blue satin. Each perpendicular cross
cut ended with deep blue fringe.
Mile. Patti is perfectly free and
graceful in all her movements without
the least theatrical style. She is even
somewhat impulsiye and petulant in
her ways. She wears her hair, which
is black and wavy, raised above her
forehead, and a close curl above the
left temple. much admired mon
ster bOquet, composed of about sixty
pink roses, called roses q To- refine, and
which quite shaded the centre of a spa
cious drawing-room table. 1t was a
loyal gift of the preceding eve.

family in Detroit were at dinner one
day last week, young man happening
to go into this hall, saw woman there.
She seemed rather embarrassed, and
gave as an excuse for her presence
there that she wished to fix her skirts,
and the modest youth left her, intend
ing TO go back into the dining room,
while she hauled out the loosened rig
ging. No sooner had he turned his
back when the woman ran like the
ssFlyinQ Scudd" around the corner,
and be, snspecting something wrong,
followed in her wake. He kept her in
sight until she entered a house, md
then returned and told bis story. His
father suggested search in the upper
rooms of the house, to discover wheth-
er anything was missing. The sugges-
ton was carried out, and il was found
that the room of o young lady up
stairs had been entered, and one of
the drawers of bureau robbed of Jew
elry, consisting Of a gold watch, pins
and earrings, end other articles, to
the amount of $500. The detectives
were informed of the affair, and went
in search of the woman, who, at last
accounts, had not been found.

A Wrecked Lie.

The Cincinnati Enquirer gives the
following ''item:"
An apparation appeared yesterday
upon Fourth street, which reminded us
of long time ago. Many of our read
ers will remember the "Woman in
White" who used to parade that fash
ionable thoroughfare. Every particle
OF dress was white, from her parasol
to her slippers. and as if it was known
that she was poor. harmless. fragile
being. cra2ed, and as the story went,
through unreduited love, her appear
ance hardly created notice, except that
of strangers.
Suddenly she disappeared. and it was
said that her friends had placed her in
the Longview Asylum, which was true.
Yesterday an apparation appeared upon
Fourth street, iantastically clad in a
bright yellow dress. It was the same,
petite figure, elastic as of y0re, but the
hair was silvered with age, and time
had stamped his footprints upon her
once comedy face. Tt was the ''Lady
in White" IL a new dress. DIR. Lang
don had allowed her an indulgence of
her harmless weakness, which is to
promenade Fourth street, for one day.
She has been an inmate of Longview
Hospital eleven years. To-day she will
return, never, perhaps, to reappear in
a world which to her has been but a
pilgrimage of blighted hope and wreck
of mind.

The Paris Monde publishes a letter
from Constantinople giving an account
of what passed between the Sultan and
the Russian General Ignatieff, on the
subject of Crete. 1t says:
''In the audience which the Ambas
sador of the Gar had with his Otto

and disinterested advice before given

thereby avoid the gravest compiled.

..HazIng,, IN Yale College.

Tie Yale Courant, of Wednesday,
sEys:
We had hoped that this disgraceful
practice had fallen into such disrepute
among us, that VS. at least, while in
College, would not be called upon to
record its occurrence. The members
of the senior class viii doubtless re-
member an instance of it which took
place IN their freshman year. The
perpetrators were severely punished,
not only by the action of the Faculty,
but also by the contempt in which the
affair was held by the students. Since
then nothing of the sort has come to
our notice until few days since. One
evening last week, just after sunset, a
hack drove up TO the door of house
on Crown street, where member of
II was rooming. What professed to
be an old man alighted, and informed
Mr.. ----, that some one in the hack
wished to. see him. Advancing to the
door of the hack he was forced into it,
his mouth stopped. and the hack driv-

or five in number), who had kidnapped
mir. -, then cut the hair from the
top of his head, and after various 9TH
er insults, drove away, leaving him to
make his way back as best he could.
We have no words to express our con-
tempt for such a dastardly, sneaking
performance. The number engaged in
the affair, as well as the means taken
to accomplish their end, is enough to
prove that they are a cowardly pack,
who dare not approach even the fresh
men on equal terms. We understand
that the matter has come to the notice
of the Faculty, and we hope that it
will be treated with the utmost severity.
AN AMATEUR TELEGRAPHER. The
Trenton IN. j. Gazette says that in
one OF the public schools of that city
is class in natural philosophy, in
which is a boy who has demonstrated
pretty effectualiy that he understands
the subject he has studied. He has
constructed an electrical battery, and
in conjunction with another boy, run a
telegraph wire from the second story of
his house, a considerable distance, into
the second story of his friends. This
wire runs through the limbs of trees,
and is insulated by means of silk wrap
ped around it, instead of glass, as is
usually the case. From the philosophy
used IN school, and the instruction of
his teacher, the boy has gained a
thorough knowledge of the principle
upon which the telegraph works, and
without any assistance whatever, has
learned the telegraph alphabet from
his school book. Very frequently these
youngsters amuse themselves by send
ing kilograms back and forth with q
celebrity which ordinarily requires APP
premiership in a telegraph Office. to
learn.

HEART DISEASE -sUrc1DE.-The New

HEART DISEASE -DUIOIDE.-Ino New
York Times says:
At the outbreak of the war, DIR. Peri
go predicted, in letter to the Times,
that diseases of the heart would become
more numerous and fatal for many
years than ever before in the history of
the Countrywide reason being, of
course, the feverish excitement OF war
times and the intensity of life in all
classes of people. How far mortuary
facts have borne out the Doctors
prophecy we do not know; but there is
one form of death which, since the war,
has increased its victims in an appalling
ratio. This form is suicide. Never
was there anything known in the past
history of the country approaching the
present frequency of suicides. Stats
tics corroborate the impression on this
subject which the daily record of the
newspapers creates. Now, the singular
and noteworthy point is that in several
European countries-and especially in
France and Austria-fhe same fact of
the prevalence of suicides after wars
has been noted by careful observers.
Here is food for reflection for those in
terested in social science.
