Some are awful modest,

Some chaps are awful silly,

bright-eyed girl of eighteen, handsoms
aud apparently intelligent, stopped al
on of our second-class hotels. She told
the landlord that she had but little
money, and wished to stop with him a
few days The good-natured landlord
told her that that was all right-that he
would hold her trunk as security for all
deficiency in his regular charges for
his board Nothing more was said until
this morning, when the girl informed
him that she wished to go to St. Louis,
and asked, with tears in her eyes, for

the time to comply with, but demanded
about 81 due him on board. She said
she had no money; that her trunk con-
'tained valuables that she could not dis

ebutOfan American Prima Donna
I'm Italy.

II Monde Theatrale contains the fol-
lowing complimentary notice of the de-
but of an American prima donna in
Italy on January Ia:
A young American prima donna has
Just made her debut at Yercelli, Italy,
with the greatest success. The opera
was Beatrice de Tenda,' by Bellini.
Miss Brush, who, by the way, has not
changed her name, as many do who
commence their career abroad, person
ated the principal role, and delighted a
very numerous audience by the beauty
of her voice and the ease and elegance
of her manner.
1t seemed impossible to many that
this was her first appearance, so truth
fully did she depict the beautiful but un-
fortunate Beatrice" Miss Brush, who
has studied both at Milan and Paris, and
had, from her fine voice and great beauty
of person, excited much curiosity in re-
gard to her debut, deserves all the
greater credit for the success she has
made, by beginning in city where she
was quite unknown, and where nought
but real merit would gain applause. We
predict for her fine career, and she
adds another name to the list of Ameri
can prima donnas who are singing sue
cessfully abroad,

MEMPHIS, TENN: MONDAY EVENING MARCH II, 1872

refinement, the beauty, and the chiyalry
of Richmond, then in her palmiest days,
were gathered in the ample parlors.
Under the blazing wax-lights in the
candelebras moved throng of dam es
and demoiselles resplendentin in diamonds,
aces, silks and feathers. In due time
came the hour for supper, and presently
a number OF servants entered, bringing
with them a quantity Of small tables,
which were distributed about the rooms
Chairs also were not wanting, with plates,
etc. This proceeding excited some com
ment. But what was the amazement Of
the whole company, when the fat negro
cook belonging to the eccentric lady
walked in, holding before her an i'm
mense tray of batter, while behind her
came a negro boy with two or three pair
of old-fasAioned, long-handled waffle
irons Nothing abashed by that goodly
company, the old cook walked atraight up
to the fire place, in which fine wood fire
was burning, and then and there proceeded
TO make her wafflles with dexterity,
quickness, and perfection which some
other Virginia cook might have equaled,
but none could ever hope to surpass.
They were served hot and hot, with
superb butter and other appropriate ac-
compartments, and enjoyed intensely
by all present, but by no one more than
Mr.. Monroe. The lady of the house
confessed that tie proceeding was rather
odd. But" said she, II knew Mr..
Monroe--poor manl-hadn't had any
waffies fit to eat since he left Virginia,
and / was determined he should have
some. And what account are waffles if
they are not hot? and what's the use Of
eating if you cant sit down and eat COM
fortably like Christian
