Pay and Plaques Of Prima DOnnas.
From n Q Pail Mall Gazefte

Prima donnas DO certainly receive i'm
mense salaries; but it must not be forgot
ten that their expenses above all, travelling
expenses and outlay for dress-a are very
great. They are for the most part charita-
BILE, even to excess. They are surrounded
at the theatre by attendants of all kinds
who expect money for the most tri-
/ fling services; their addresses are
known to all the beggng-letter-w writers;
and when one OF the principal mendicants
OF the metropolis fell, not long
since, into the hands of the police, it is a
fact that the name of celebrated Ger
man prima donna was found at the top of
his list of probable benefactors. Then of
the number of occasions on which prima
donnas are asked TO sing gratuitously, and
IN many cases actually consent to do so
ut is so little trouble for her TO sing" ii
is argued But it is still less trouble for
q millionaire 10 write check, in
spite OF which he is so rarely ready with
a check for larger amount as the prima
donna of high repute is with her easily
convtrti ble into notes. Nevertheless after
making due allowances for the prima dom
mas inevitable expenditure, the fact re-
mains that she is exceedingly well paid. -
Indeed; no one among women receives
higher income, apart from property, ex-
cept she be an empress or queen. There
is this difference, however: That the
income of the sovereign (barring revolu-
tions) is for life, while that of the prima
donna is only for the life of her voice:
which, however, in the case of happily
constituted prima donna, may fairly be
reckoned at Is years, say from IL to ~
Among men, no minister of state is so
highly paid as Nine. Patti was last winter
at st. Petersburg. The salary of first
rate prima donna is about equal to that of
an ambassador (say G12.000 year,; and
she retains the right denied to the unfor-
tunate ambassador, of receiving presents

Incidents of the Marriage of strnton
with Miss Warren-How Bishop Pot
ter Refused TO Potter with the Job.
Rarnum described in Packard's Monthly
for July the wooing and winning of Lavinia
Warren by Chas. S. Stratton, alias Tom
Thumb. In the August number he gives q
continuation of the story:
OF course, says Barnun, the approaching
wedding was announced 1t created an i'm
mense excitement. Layinia's levess at the
museum were crowded to suffocation, and
her photograph pictures were in great de-
mand. For several weeks she sold more
than $500 worth of her carfes de uisite each
day; and the daily receipts of the museum
were frequently over $4,000. engaged
| the General to exhibit, and TO assist her IN
the sale of pictures, to which his own pho
! tOgIsph of course was added. L could at
ford to give them fine wedding, and did
so.
The little couple made personal apPll-
cation to Bishop Potter to perform the
nuptial ceremony, and obtained his con.
sent: but the matter became public. and
outside pressure from some of the most
squeamish of his clergy was brought tc
bear upon the bishop, and he rescinded his
engagement.
This fact of itself, as well as the oppo-
sition that caused at, only added to the
notoriety of the approaching wedding, and
increased the crowds at the museum. The
financial result to me was piece of good
fortune, which / was, of course, quite vii
ling to accept; though in this instance the
advertisement" so tar as the fact of tbs
betrothal of the parties with its prelimin
aries were concerned, was not of my seek

the museur,. and pouring money into the
treasury. / did not hesitate to seek contln
ned advantage from the notoTiety of thu
prospective marriage. Accordingly, offer

They both laughed heartily at what the.
considered my discontinue; and such look
ed at from business point of view, it eer
tainly was The wedding day approached
and the public excitement grew. For sey

ing marriage of Tom Thumb was the NeS

newspaper paragraphs. A surer index wa

A CALF SwAILowsA Roll oF GREEN
BAoKs.-John Yetter, OF Mortonyille, lost q
quantity of money and some notes of hand
a few days since, in very singular mon
ner. He was working in the stable aud
took off his vest aud threw it over q stall.
A large pocketbook, containing $40 in
bank notes, and several notes Of hand,
dropped out of the side pocket near q calf
The notes were rather longer than the
pocketbook, and the calf drew them out
and ate them.
When Mr.. Yetter returned for bis vest,
his treasure, AS well as the number Of ven
due notes, varying in amounts from $500 TO
$3.50 were missing. The heifer could not
be made to refund by persuasion, or other
mild means. 1t was at length decided 10
force a payment, and to do this it was nee
cessary to kin the animal, which was done,
and three $50 notes were recovered, but
the balance of the notes, &C., had been 80
changed as to render them worthless.
Mr.. Yetter had placed these notes, when
received, in the hands of Green Il Morg; IN,
bankers and brokers, buta short time since
took them up with n view of getting the
money from the parties. Their value will
be recovered. Mr.. US will amount to $50.
