The life of a prima donna i curious
one. and in many eases an enylable one
The stare has always been to woman
possible stepping stone TO the peefage-
Miss Stephens became Countess OF Essex;
Miss Foote, Countess of Harrington
Miss Bolton, Lady Thurlow Victoria
Bale, first Lady Champion, and now the
wife of a Spanish grandee; our present
favorite Patti has married a man OF birth,
late equery to the Emperor of the
French. of whose court he was dlstln-
puished ornament; and the name OF
Christine Nilsson has been coupled with
possible titles. The triumphs Of the
stage are endless, as are the lovers which
fair cantatrices seem to attract there. VI
Mile. Tietiens a most romantic story Il
told. In the early days Of her triumphs
Young man of wealth and position
wished to marry, but he made 1t a condl-
ton that she should give up her profes-
sion. She asked for nine months to con-
sider the proposals, but, happily, at the
end of that time she made choice OF the
stage, to the lasting benefit Of the world
generally. Popular applause Is laylshed
upon public singers in manner tnat
scarcely any other woman can possibly
enjoy. When Piccolomini sang in Italy
they not only showered bouquets upon
her. but now and then white dove fiut-
tered to her feet. When. Jenny Lind
sang at Stockholm the rush for seats was
so great that they were put up at auction
and realized fabulous sums, all Of which
went to a fund to establish a school there
for decayed artistes. Asa body there Is
no one more charitable than musical ar
lists. When, in 1647, the Misses Pyne,
(then not so well known to fame,) heard
that a society for homeless children must
fall to the ground for want of funds, they
volunteered, unasked, to give concert
for its benefit, which was eminently sue
cessful. Clara Novelties triumphs ought
not to be forgotten. At Genoa her audi
ences threw bouquets containing valuable
coronets at her feet, to say nothing OF
camelias worth twenty-five guineas each,
then escorted her home with torches and
fiambeaux. A greater triumph, however,
has scarcely been achieved by any singer
than the unparalleled reception given to
Patti of late in Russia The sums which
fortunate singers realize, is almost incred-
ible Everybody doubtless remembers
Gabrielli's reply to Catherine III, of Rus
STA, when she expressed her astonishment
at her demanding eight thousand ducats
for singing, by saying, why, don't
pay a field marshal as much as that. "
''Well, then, get the field marshal to sing
to you" The Empress seems to have
seen the force of the argument, and paid
the demand. There are so few first-rate
voices in the world, that they can always
ensure their price. The said Gabrielle
made large fortune, and lived in the
greatest splendor The anecdotes of her
extravaganza are endless. One will
suffice. A'Florentine noble, who came
to pay his court to her, caught a costly
lace ruffle in the trimming of her dress,
and tore it; as compensation she sent
him six bottles of Spanish wine, corked
with Flemish lace. Mrs. Ellington at
one time realized an income of GA, 900 a
year: Rubini's income one year amount
ed to 100000.

THE LITTLE RAF1 THAT CHossED TIE
ATLANTIC OcEAs.-We copy y follows
from the PhiladeIphia Telegraph
On the 4th day of june, 1867, more
than two wears since, a tiny raft, named
the NonpareI, worked Its way out Of New
York harfor to the broad ocean beyond,
and hosting sail driffed away toward
Europe. The people Of Southampton,
England. were astonished, ON the 25th OF
the following month, TO see novel craft
nearing fheir wharves upon the tide. 1t
was the Nonpare1 and from that day she
was famous When Captain John Mickes,
her builder, stepped upon her for the
long voyage, many deemed him more
than bold, and expected to hear or see
nothing again of either him or his raft.
The success of the enterprise, however,
proved that ne well knew the capacity OF
his tiny vessel, and demonstrated that
even the raging deep might be dared
almost upon a plank. The Nonpareh
now lies at Smiths Island, opposite
Chestnut street wharf She is made of
three straight cylinders twenty-five feet IN
length and 20 inches in diameter. The
cylinders are made of gutta percha,. en-
eased in heavy duck covers, and connec-
ted by means of heavy duck fanges,
which form a deck surface 121 feet wide.
On the top and across these cylinders
are placed a series of thwarts or planks,
which keep the cylinders apart, and also
afford seats for passengers. An air valve
is attached to each cylinder, and in eight
minutes the raft can be put in readiness
for service The raft, it is said, has a
buoyant capacity of 10000 pounds, and
deck surface Of 264 square feet. She
is now rugged and equipped as she was at
the time Of making her celebrated voyage
the same water casks, beds, pinnacle
and tackling being on board. Capt.
Mickes, who is with the boat at Smiths
Island, says that during the voyage across
the ocean, the bedding, which was eleva-
ted about two feet above the deck, was
never wet He also stated that the raft
cannot be swamped or capsized by surf of
sea.

Anthony TrOIIOpe's Opinion of
American Girls,

In America girl may form friendly in
tImacy with any young man she fancies.
and though she may not be free from little
tests and good-humored joking. there is no
injury to her from such intimacy. 1t is her
acknowledged right to enjoy herself after
that fashion. and to have what she calls a
good time with young men. A dozen such
lntlmacles do not stand in her way when
there comes some real adorer who means to
marry her and Is able to do so. She rides
with these friends. walks with them ard
corresponds with them. She goes out to
balls and pienicS with them. and afterward
lets herself IN with a latch-key. while her
papa and mamma are abed and asleep. with
perfect security. If there be much to be
said against the practice. there is also some
thing TO be said for it. Girls on the conti-
nent of Europe, on the other hand. do nor
dream of making friendship with any man.
a cousin with them Is as much out of the
question as the most perfect stranger. In
strict families girl is hardly allowed to 90
out with her brother, and have heard of
mothers who thought it indiscreet that a
father should be seen alone with his daugh-
ter at theatre. All frindships between the
sexes must, under such a social code. be
looked forward to as post-nuptial joys.
Here in England there is a something be-
twiXt the two. The Intercourse between
young men and girls is free enough to ena-
pie the latter to feel how pleasant it is to be
able 10 forget for a while conventional re-
straInts- and to Acknowledges how JOYOUS a
thing il Is TO indulge in social intercourse in
which the angle delight Of equal mind
meeting equal mind in equal talk Il inst en-
HANGED by the unconscious remer1hranea
that boys and girls when they meet together
may learn to love. There is nothing mora
sweet in youth than this, nothing NOR.
natural, nothing more fftting-nothinr. IN
deed, more essentially necessary for Gods
purposes with his creatures. Nevertheless.
here with us, that Is the restriction, and it Is
seldom that 4 girl can allow hnrsalf the ft,lf
flow of friendship with man who Is not Old
enough to be her father, unless We Is her
lover as wen as her friend.-From the Vicar
of Bullhampton.
