How to Improve the Voice.

A Vienna paper gives an amusing
account Of the Refreshments which
the singers of tho opera there are in
the habit Of taking between tho acts
to keep their voices in good order
Each singer, it appears, has his or
her own peculiar specific. The
Swedish tenor IIabatt takes two
sailed cucumbers" for d dose. and
declares that this vegetable is the
best thing in the world for strength
ening tho voice and giyin. it ''the
true metallic ring" The other sing
ers, however, do not seem to be of
this opinion Sontheim takes a
pinch Of snuff and drinks cold lem
onade Waehtel eats the yolk of an
egg beaten up with sugar; Stegar,
"the most corpulcnt Of tonors, !"
drinks "the brown juice Of the gama
brinus;' Walter, cold black coile6sa
Nioman, champagne and Iichachok
mulled claret. Ferenczy, the tenor,
smokes one On two cigars, which his
colleagues regard as SO much poison
Mdlle. Braun Bruth takes after the
first act a glass Of beer, after the
third and fourth cup Of cafe az
lat and before the gre.l duct in the
fourth act Of the "Iugcuots" always
a bottle Of Meet Cr5.aant Rose
Naehbaur munchos Be lbons during
the performance RuoDsam, the bar
ltone, drinks mead Mittorwurzer
and kinderman suck dried plums
Robinson, another baritone, drinks
soda water; Formos takes porter,
and Arabanol1 Gumpoldskirchner
wine The celebrated baritone Beck
on the other hand, takes nothing at
all, aud refuses TO speak. Draxler
smokes Turkish tobacco and drinks
a glass Of beer, Another Singer. DR..
Sehmid, regulates his diet according
to the state OF bis voice at tho time.
Sometimes he drinks coffee. some
times tea, and q quartz Of an hour
aftcrward lemonade, mead or cham
payne, taking snuff between whites,
and eating apples, pIums, and dry
bread-a very liberal arrangement,

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
A Prayer offered and Question Asked

Shades of departed paupers look dowr
with complacency upon our suffering ane
infuriated Poor Commissioners and, if
possible, smooth their rugged pathway te
the tomb ! Lay your heads together and
devise some method by which the angry
storm of their conscience may be effectu
ally subdued; for the expenditure OF
Sl4, 900, of the peoples money upon a
few of your unfortunate kindred is sutfi-
| Gent to raise tempestuous whlrlwlnd
within their otherwise calm and placid
! bosoms! And We poor devils, who have
+, just been cast adrift from the Poor
House, pawn your rich cashmere vests
that Mahoney presented you and use the
proceeds for the purpose of exposing the
Board of Supervisors for they are the
direct cause of your untimely exit from
your comfortable quarters on the Poor
Farm. Yes, pauper friends, to the Poor
Commissioners you may credit all your
last years veal, and to the Board Of Su-
perVlsors all your present wee. Mantle
woo, Two Rivers or any other town will
hardly ''dress you up in rich cashmere
suits as Mahoney did, nor will you here
after be furnished with such immense
quantities of tobacco or snuff. Circum-
stances over which you have no control
have greatly changed your positions. The
accomplished and gentlemanly Sheahan
will no longer board you as effectively and
fully as was his wont; though the win
ming phiz of Mahoney, Carl Schmitz or
Kirby will ever and anon revive memo
ries of the past when you and they wal
lowed in luxuries and ''fneries' at oar
expease.
But enough. I'm anxiously awaiting

they are always made up to the original
