ity of the Parepa-Rosa English Opera
Troupe as follows:
Soprano-Madame Parepa-Rosa, Mad
anne Jennie Vanzini (VanzandD, Miss

Ellis (basso profundo), Gustavus Hall.
Mrs. Vanzondt is a New Yorker, who
stole away from us the moment the pub-
lie discovered what sensation there
was in her voice. On the boards in
Italy and London she has become one
of the first popular favorites. A fine
reception awaits her rentree. ~ .
Clara Doria is an English girl, daugh-
ter of John Barnett, the composer, Her
voice BELTS the lighter operas, and she
is reputed to have met with envlable
success in Somnambula, Lucia, Maria
Padilla, Maria di Rohan, etc.
The new tenor, Tom Karl, is not only
an angelic vocalist, the rival of Capoul,
but also the handsomest type of the de-
generate race of Adam. Italian girls,
whose taste will not be gainsayed, styled
him the Tenor Adonis. No album this
side of the water will be complete with
out his photograph.
The basso profundo, Ellis, is accred-
tied with the most potent organ, and is
esteemed a brilliant artist. Mr.. and
Mrs. Aynsley Cook are well-known Lon
don favorites. The rest of the troupe
bear fattering records, chiefly made in
this country.
The repertoire will include several
novelties, among others Satanella "

singular Case OF Female Adven-
ture, Devotion and Death.

From the Oshkosh Northwestern. Aug lS.l
One of the most remarkable instances
of woman's attachment to man and
heroism under adversely came to our
notice to-day. To begin at the COM
mencement, we will state that in 1860, a
young lady in the city of Auburn, New
York, the daughter of wealthy parents,
eloped with young man named Niles,
a railroad engineer, and both proceeded
to Cleveland, Ohio, and afterward to
Toledo. They were pursued by an in
furiated brother of the young lady, and
in the latter place, to avoid detection,
after the ceremony had been performed,
the young lady arrayed herself in male
attire. In this disguise, and while sell
ing apples, she passed her brother sew
eral times on the street without recogni-
ton on his part. Shortly afterward,
early ir the war, the two went South to
Nashville, Tennessee, where Niles pro-
cured employment as locomotive
engineer, mis- wife engaging as fire
man, still keeping up her disguise.
Between Nashville and Chattanooga
shot from rebel inflicted a serious
wound upon the engineer, and he was
taken 10 the Government hospital at
Murfreesboro, Tennessee. His wife fol-
lowed, and to her careful nursing Niles
owes his life. When sufficiently recov-
cred to endure the hardships of travel
ing, they returned to Cleveland. A few
months later the alleged gold discoveries
at Mandock, Canada, attracted them
thither, the wife accompanying her hus-
band, still in masculine garments. The
vicissitudes of her career, exposed to
hardships and accidents. we're too severe,
however, and few weeks since she died
at Cleveland, after a brief illness. Niles,
who is now in this city, is a man about
forty years Of age, and does not refer to
the heroic devotion Of his wife but IN
terms Of the warmest admiration.

REYERpERATING SOUNDS.
Further Indications of the Exis

Further Indications of the Exis-
tencc of n Great Cave Under the
city.
From the Nashville Union and American.l
Not many years since an enterprising
journalist made the astounding discovery
that there was deep and long cave un.
der the city, having outlets at the bluff
in the rear of the City Hotel and at a
short distance south of the Suspension
Bridge. Full accounts of the explora-
tions then made were published and
their truth not very considerably ques-
toned. Since that time the bluff aper-
lures TO this extensive cavern have been
closed and nothing further has been
learned of its mysterious existence.
The blasting of stone to make excaya-
tions for the block of buildings to take
the place Of the City Hotel, which has
been going on for the past few days, has
suddenly directed the attention of OBJ
serving citizens to the wonderful cavity
within the bowels of the earth beneath
the heart of the city. 1t is said by gem
tlemen who have devoted some atten-
ton TO the matter that person in the
central part of the market house or
about the first story of the court house
at the time these blasts at the City Ho-
tel site are let off, feels a very percep-
tible jarring, and hears strange, rum
bling sound, something like reverberat-
ing thunder or distant artillery practice.
We have ourselves been able to devote
but little attention to these extraordi-
nary evidences of the existence of what
may in the future be known as the great
Rock City Cave, and give above only
such information as reaches us through
other equally reliable sources. From
certain information just. received we
feel justified in assuring our readers
that something more definite respecting
the wonderful emptiness under the city

IspaIlan.

From the st. Louis Republican,
This city where, according to the Lee
want Herald, q, 900 deaths have occurred
froni famine and pestilence, was form
erly the capital of Persia, but is now
only the metropolis of the province OF
Irak-Ajemi. 1t is situated on the Zen
derud river, in broad and fertile plain
about 226 miles south of Teheran. AS
long ago as the days of the caliphs OF
Bagdad, Ispahan was a trading town OF
great Importance; in 1887 it was cap
tured by Timur, the Tartar, and 10000
people massacred, but during the seven
teenth century it attained the climax oi
prosperity under the reign of Shah Alb
bas, the Great 1t was then the CHIEF
emporium of Asia, with an immense
commerce reaching in all directions; the
seat of Persian government, where re-
sided ambassadors of all the principal
nations of Europe and the far East.
The walls were twenty-four miles in cir
cumference, and the population estima-
ted at between 100000 and l,000,O0O.
In 1922 it was devastated by the At
ghans. and when sometime after the cap
ital was transferred to Teheran, the de-
cline of lspahan began, and it has never
resumed it former status.
Beautiful groves and fruitful gardens
and vineyards surround the city still, and
the Zenderud, which at this point is six
hundred feet wide, is spanned by three
fine bridges, one of them a thousand
feet in length and having thirty-six
arches. But within all is decay and des-
olation. There are miles of streets
without single tenant, and many of
the once splendid palaces are deserted
and falling into hopeless ruin. On the
southern side of the city is an extensive
pleasure ground called the ChGhdr
Baqh, which contains the Palace Of
Forty Columns" once a favorite royal
residence-perhaps the same of which
Coleridge speaks:

over $4,000 to the Secretary due tickets not
presented. II will be particularly noticed
that it is n matter of impossibility for any one
to know what numbers draw gifts. as it is not
known what the gift of any number drawn
from tho first wheel will be. until the sealed
box, with amount of the gift plainly printed,
is taken from the other wheel and opened IN
full view of the audience. therefore the larger
gifts may not come out until toward the last,
or in the middle of the drawing. The SlOO,9CO
gift in the San Francisco Gilt Concert, under
the management of G. X. PETERS, was the
2OOth number drawn, and was awarded and
paid to a gentleman in New. Orleans. Seven
hundred and twenty one gifts Is oil that can
be drawn in one day; The numbers and gifts
are drawn by blind children from s to IA years
of age. The drawing will be extensively pub
lished, and parties ordering tickets wi have
