Some Jubilee Figures.

In Europe Americans are held to be
the most lavish people in the world, and
when the foreign artists who came over
to the Jubilee return home and tell the
story of their compensation, our ma
tlonal fame in this regard will not be
lessened. Strauss went back to Europe,
after his three weeks visit, with about
S25, 900 in his pocket. Madame Peschka
Leutner received for her season of thir-
teen concerts $4,000. Franz Abt, who
conducted one of his own compositions
at four concerts, received 81 ,200-S3OO
for each. Arabella Goddard received
$1,000, literally for doing nothing.
Franz Bendel, $1,000, and Wehh, 81 ,25O
for two appearances. The sums paid to
the bands and orchestra were also enor.
nous. The great orchestra drew
S72j 900 out of the treasury for the first
weeks salary. The musicians from
other cities than Boston drew $40 a day
per man and transportation, and the
Boston players S. per day. The home
brass bands received on an average S25
per man for the week. The foreign
bands cost about SIS per man a day, ex-
elusive of expenses and transportation,
board alone averaging about So per day.
The Irish band cost, relatively, more
than the rest-although they were the
poorest of all-inasmuch as they did
not appear until the last week of the
festival, although they were under pay
for the whole time. The total expense
OF the four foreign bands was about
100000.

True Unto Death.

BY MRS. N. A. KIDDER.
bent my head to catch the sound
Of the tremulous parting breath
The last sad words from your young wife's lips
That weuld soon be closed in death
And caught the whispered sentence low.
Of the sufferer: " Call him Seth
The name of the man who has crushed your
heart"
| cried, as her eyes grew dim:
Then the lingering blood-streams dyed her
:. And rose to her forehead brim:
Though he has been false. thank God" she
That have been true to him :"
Then I thought of the wives of the present day.
And the wives of long ago.
Who have suffered more than tongue could tell.
By the cruel word and blow,
By the shameless lives of their welded lords,
Too sad for the world to know.
Then 1 wondered if all these injured ones.
Be they many or be they few,
Could have barred such white and spotless souls
To their makers searching view,
As this fair young wife, who. through grief and
pain,
To the false had been so true.
Oh, stricken wives in your cherries hemes,
Hope on. smile on, l pray;
For help shall come in Gods good time.
Aye. the recompsnsing day,
Though the Gates of Pearl may open first.
To let in the morning ray.
Though your hearths be desolate and cold,
Let your altar fires burn bright
Nor do a sin to revenge a sin;
Two wrongs ne'er made one right :"
Let your false one see his sin or wrong
BY the aid of your vestal light!

Books for Children.

We find III our European exchanges
very sensible letter from George Sand
on the subject of books for children.
She rightly objects to those which deal
too much and too lightly with the most
awful problems which Cypress mankind
with poverty, crime and suffering in
their most terrible and depressing as
poets. She would not have child
glibly taught the horrors of life, the
wlckedness of being, the secrets of the
charnel house, the bloodshed, the NOR
tai hatreds that disfgure the far earth.
1t is, of course, impossible to shield him
from the sight of surrounding evil; so
much the more reason for making him
love what is good and beautiful, and
''for cultivating in him the holy flower
of hope" The child must not "be
turned to stone, either by the fear
which produced egotism or by the in
difference which consecrates it. | have
been often told," she adds, keep
children's souls too much in cotton

Lightning'S Freaks.

A singular accident occurred recently
upon the White Mountain Notch road,
N. H., a little above The Crawford
House. A stage coach on its way from
Ammonoosuc Station to the Crawford
House was struck by lightning, during
heavy shower, the horses being thrown
down but not killed, and two passen-
gers sitting on the top of the vehicle
were somewhat injured. Their clothes
were burned, their gold watches and
watch chains melted in their pockets,
and one of the men was burnt upon the
breast, the electric fluid also completely
encircling his body.

Up the Red River.

Col. j. w. Forney writes home to the
Philadelphia Press interesting sketches
OF the Southern country and its people.
From letter dated Shreveport, La,
we extract as follows:
Wonderful, most wonderful is the
foliage along the banks of Red river
wild, luxuriant and densel A farm
house or log-cabin is rarely seen. The
tortuous current, the crumbling banks,
a soil fersile, and without single
boulder or rock for thousand miles,
are objects of interest to biologists.
Now the river spreads out its red waters
as broad as the Delaware at its widest,
and now again it is condensed into such
narrow limits that boat can hardly
push its way through. Great tall cotton
wood, oak and willow trees shoot up on
either side, and the finest cattle are
seen grazing in the shade. The banks
are ragged and the course of the stream
changes almost every year. it IS not an
uncommon thing to see great groups of
trees which have sunk into the water,
and the low, marshy grounds seem to
extend back long distance. The gun
powder willow grows most luxuriantly,
Its scarlet blossoms and graceful foliage,
twines around the thick underground.
Very seldom are the magnolia and palm
seen in this locality, although the Grape
myrtle appears in nearly every little
garden attached to the humblest negro
hut.
What impresses me, among other
things in this novel region, are the
kindly relations between whites and
blacks. l have not heard syllable of
seccessionism All the people are glad
to see Northern men; all are anxious
for immigration and capital, and really
they present tempting inducements.
Some of the finest sugar, cotton and
corn plantations are offered as low as
five dollars az acre; and when we con-
slider that tcis is region literally with
out winter, and that the soil is the most
productive Oh the earth, and the gen.
eral health as good as elsewhere, we
should be surprised that so many hun
dreds of thousands of acres have lain
dormant for centuries, if we do remem-
Der the prejudices of slavery and the
habits still existing which have grown
out of that institution. Every intell-
gent man l converse with admits that
these prejudices will require at least
generation to cure, but they point with
pride to the improvement of the negro
since the emancipation and the ballot,
and quietly extract from this fact the
ultimate population of their now de.
serted plantations and their own, certain
future redemption. So much for the
negro"
