Mr.. George Peabody sailed from New

He returns very weak; indeed his debility has
been such that he has been obliged during the
last three months to confne himself within
doors, lying down for twenty hours or more of
the twenty-four, and only going out when COM
PEELED to do so by important business. He has
besides experienced an almost total loss of ap-
petite. Still, there are encouraging symptoms
in his case, inasmuch as his cough, which
weakened him 80 much, has nearly left him,
and he has lately commenced to gain in weight.
It is hoped that winter residence in warmer
climate, even if it does not entirely restore
him, may so far improve his health as to pro-
long his useful and happy life.
When Miss Carlotta Patti was in England
several years ago, very pretty little story
was told about her. which has been revived
since her arrival in this country. She was
once driving through one Of the London sub
urbs, when she observed sparrow, which
seemed to have been wounded, futtering
along the roadside. Plying the little sufferer,
she allghted from her carriage, and taking it
,,r, ,or,, +andarlu dionnunrad that hnth NJ ito
legs were broken. The forlorn condition Of
the bird, and the character of its injuries, with
which her own disability taught her SO well
how to sympathize, induced Miss Patti to take
the poor little creature home. Since that hour
the bird and the cantatrice have been insepa-
rable friends. 1t has been with her In all her
journeyings, accepts its food from no other
hands but hers, and seems to watch and wait
for her as If it possessed an intelligence capa-
BILE of gratitude.
