schools, public libraries, Sulpice,
Valgrace, and private houses. Wo-

killed, and infants in their mothers
arms were struck. One projectile
in the Rue Vanguard killed four
children and wounded five. The
unrivaled works of art in the Lux

JENNY LIND OF To-DAY-From n
letter describing Jenny Lind's re-
cent appearance in Exeter Hall,
London, VIC quote the following:
II was not entirely the fog which
made our eyes see dimly the sweet
faced woman sitting by the side of
her husband: thinner, older, sadder,
but still with the same winning,
pathetic atmosphere about every
pose, and every expression which
conquered all hearts of twenty years
ago. disarm all criticism and will
continue to do so rs long as Jenny
Lind's soul remains in Jenny Lind
body. III there be such things as
perfect grace of clumsiness, perfect
beauty Of homeliness, she has them;
and they arc more lasting than the
grace of gracefulness, or the beauty
of good looks. As it is with her
face, her movements, her attitudes.
so it is with her voice. Sacred above
all il has lost. il has kept n certain
something of individuality that one
would know it for Jenny Lind's
voice. In spite of the husky chest
tones, in spite of the strained and
hardly reached G., there is a peculiar
soul full quality which has rarely
been heard on any stage, except
when Jenny Lind has sung. Critics
would say-and, perhaps by rules OF
art, their assertions cannot be con.
tradicted, that Jenny Lind's voice is
gone. But, men and woman are
still moved to their hearts depths 10y
her singing. l believe if she sing
when she is three score years anC
ten it will be the same.

SAVE Me- FROM My FRIESDs.-A

blind, called to Jones that l want
ed to see him at once on particular
business. He came to me, when
explained to him that / had no par
ticular business, but was merely
calling him away from being talked
to death.
Very much obliged" said Jones,
"but looking anxiously about him)

man tried to hug nelghbor's wife,
but before he got through, the lady
hit him with a rolling pin and put
him ont doors. The husband took

satisfaction, but concluded to settle
it by taking the villains note for ten
dollars, which he traded off for a
corn-plow. The man who holds the
note can't collect it, the giver of il
claiming that he did not get value
