The Gar attended the opera last night with
the Emperor William, and all the members OF
the royal family. This forenoon he drove
alone in the Thier Garten, and on his return
TO the Russian embassy received Generals
Moltke and WrangeI, and other distinguished
officers of the Prussian army. During the day
the Gar again visited Emperor William, and

greater than that displayed yesterday.

earnest conversation with the hostess of q
tavern ut Wrapping. with whom he war
smitten. An alarm OF fro was given, and
rs 1t was necessary to conceal young
Robert William, he was placed in a basp
ed chest. Five minutes passed still the
noise continued-nay, it increased He
tried to raise the lid, but she had prudent.
ly fastened it. He listened; the confusion
IN the house became more evident. He
could hear persons running to and fro
he heard drirpings of water. All consid-

extricate hmself-in vain flighuul

Tie New prjma Donna.

Justen Mccarthy thus writes to the
New York Evening Mail, of the new
songstress who has come among us:
Madame Lucca ought to be great
success. To my thinking, she h 2 a
dramatic genius beyond almost any of
her rivals and her voice is superb She
is not so safe singer as Patti or Nils
son, she has not the patient, painstak-
ing, artistic qualities which make these
ladies dear to conductors and musical
colleagues. But she has voice and
genius certainly not surpassed by any
OF our younger songstresses. I have
heard that Lucca's wonderful rem
deriDg of Margaret in "Faust -
wherein / think she is unrivaled
is the result of genius altogeth-
er; and tue fair singer declares she has
never read Goethe's drama, knows
nothing at all about it, and never could
understand any poetry. It's rendering
seemed full of poetry, pathos, passion
everything that lyric art could ex-
press. A remarkable fact about it is
that when Lucca first appeared as Mar
garet, she epresented Gretchen as
quite a different sort of character from
that which she now puts on the stage.
Criticism, or mature consideration, in
stlnct, or something, induced The little
lady to abandon her first conception
and give lis the exquisite Margaret that
you will soon, | suppose. see and hear

The Burning of the Steamship America.

Early Saturday morning, the oath
of August, the America arrived at Yo-
kohama. During the day she landed
all the passengers, and the cargo FOR
the port was transferred to the Shang,
hai branch steamer. What was
for North China remained on
board-the officers, crew and
two first class passengers, the mails
ana It's Chinese for Hong Kong At
II o'clock at night the fire was dlscov-
cred and burned until the afternoon of
Sunday. The America was towed out
of the way of the shipping and sunk.
Three Americans aud fifty-nine China
men, besides japanese, lost their lives.
Three hundred thousand dollars in
treasure, and the light freight on board
were lost. The ship had been coasting
all day, and at ten, being reported all
safe, the officers retired A little before
eleven the stewardess smelled some
thing burning. Smoke was discovered
rising from the freight deck below the
ladies' saloon. The alarm was sounded
Captain Doane, the first in the saloon
with hose, was driven back by the smoke.
With sudden, furious roar, the
flames burst forth, deciding the fate of
the ship. The smoke preventing the
flooding of the magazine Attention
was then turned to saving the pas
sengers. The Cinnamon crowded upon
the ladder, which gave away, prceipi-
tatlng them into the water Several
unsuccessful attempts were made to
sink the burning ship by shots from
war vessels.

New Washing Process.

The Injurious action of soda upon
linen has given rise to new method OF
washing, which has been extensively
adopted in Germany and has been in
troduced iuto Belgium The operation
consists III dissolving two pounds OF
soap III about three gallons of water as
hot as the hand can bear, and adding to
this one tablespoonful of turpentine
and three of liquid ammonia; the mix
ture must then be well stirred, and the
linen stepped in it for two or three
hours, taking care to cover up the YES
sci which contains it as nearly herEet-
ically as possible The clothes are
afterwards washed out and rinsed
in the usual way The soap and
water may be re-heated and used a sec
Ond time, but in that case, half a
tablespoonful of turpentine and table
spoonful of ammonia are to be added
The process is said to cause II great
ecoonmy of time, labor, and fuel. The
linen scarcely suffers at all, as there is
little necessity iur rubbing, and it's
cleanliness and color are perfect. The
ammonia and ttrpentine, although
their defensive action is great, have no
injurious effect up the linen; and while
the former evaporates Immediately,
the smell of the latter is said to disap-
pear entirely during the drying of the
clothes.

The next instant both rifles exploded
simultaneously. Colonel Morton gave a
smothcred shrek, sprang upward, and
fell to the ground-dead. Deal Smith
stood unmoved, and began reloading his
rifle, which being done he turned away
and disappeared in the adjoining forest.
Three days after, Gen. Houston, accom-
panied by Deaf Smith, and ten other men,
made their appearance in Austin, and
without further opposition removed the
Stpte papers.
Deaf Smith, as remarked before, was
one of the most extraordinary men ever
known in the west He appeared in Texas
at an early qeriod, and resided there un.
til his death, which occurred over a dozen
years ago. He had many ardent friends
but nothing definite was ever learned re-
garding his early life Whether he ever
acquainted Houston with it was never
known, for the old hero never enlightened
any one as far as | can learn, upon the
matter
When Deaf Smith was questioned upon
the matter, he laid his finger upon hi
lips, and if pressed, his black eyes gave
such a rebuke that no one dare question
him further. Although deprived of the
faculty of hearing, nature as is often the
case, seemed to compensate him, by
giving him u, eye us keen and far-reace.

Gifted in this extraordinary manner, it
will be seen that he possessed just the
qualities to make him successful spy

Texas war for indie pendence were inyalu
able. He generally went alone, and very
rarely failed to obtain the information de

When not engaged as spy, he lived
by hunting, and was often absent fol
months ON his excursions He was
genuine son of nature, at home only wher
upon the prairies or in the woods, or wher
engaged in the thrilling excitement of thu
hunt, or the more fiery thrill Of the clasl
of arms and the roar of battle.
Shut out by his infrmity from the clos,

4 Pleasant Ghost Story.

n charming ghost story is set afioat by
the Virginia City Montanian. In the low,
Hot Spring district there is u large stone
house which for years has remained un-
inhabited except by the ghostly vlsitant,
who has way of kecblng the house to
itself This uneasy spirit is supposed to
have once animated the form of u man bv
the name of Hanna, who in an affray was
mortally wounded. Within y few weeks
IL party of miners concluded to occupy the
house at all risks of encountering the
silent shadow, which was said to fit apout
the place from dusk until dawn. At first
their courage held out, but night after
night, after retiring, they were visited by
tire ghost, who really seemed disposed to
be friendly, and who seemed to have no
object in coming back to the world lut To
make them comfortable The bedclothes
would be smoothed and tucked down !;
they would feel their faces and shoulders
patted by invisible hands in a way which
made the cold chills dance over them, and
although every effort was made 20 capture,
or, at least, get sight of the intruder, none
succeeded, and they all with one impulse
abandoned their house, leaving it to the
ghost and the mystery.
