Adelina Patti Mt Convent Garden.

Madame PATHS impersonat,on of
Leonora in ell Trovatore," says the
London Orchestra, kept the audience al
Convent Garden on Thursday, in a
high-wrought state Of admiration and
excitement. It il generally recognized
that Madame PATHS voice this year is
richer and purer than ever. 1t has
gained in fulness and depth it has
some low notes worthy of Madame
Irebelli. Time deals more
than gently with the diva
deals lovingly, and beauties her
more ard more. Looking at her girlish
loneliness. and watching her trip light.
iy across the stage, we forget how long
we have had Adelina among us. Is it
twelve or thirteen seasons ? She is per-
haps three years older than when she
first came. Some of Northern endur.
ance seems to fix the Southern bloom
and ripeness it yields neither to time
nor fatigue, and the Patti of 1873 is all
that was the Patti of the early sixties,
with the gifts of culture and experience
added thereto. The wildness of her
versatility is demonstrated when, as on
Thursday, she undertakes highly
dramatic role. She who is the Norma,
the Zerlina, the Dinorallt of ali
time can hold Leonora against
any competitor. As admirable in
pent.up passion rs in irrepressible
gayety, she fills all parts with the COM
pleteness and Acknowledgement of 4
thorough artist. Sig. Nicolini was the
Manrico, and earned the favor of all bv
the energy and correctness of his per.
formance. At the close of tho third
net slight contretempts arose. The
house demanded an encore, and Sig.
Nicolini was ready to yield to the
public wish, but the conductor had left
his post, and there was no acconpani-
ment for the singer, who had to signify
his inability in pantomine. When
Sig. Vianesi next appeared the audi
ance conveyed their sense of his leser
ton. The rest of the cast embraced

the noble promenade with its COrinthian Col.
onade Is l3O by 80 feet. The kitchen, fitted M
with INC most approved appliances OF tho cut-
SINE, Is 140 10y 60 feet. The system OF protec-
ton against fire is perfect. Tho floors are

i's regular disciplined fire brigade Of fifty
rusty employees. Standing iron columns from
the street. vast tanks in tho roof, the most
powerful steam pump in tho city, with 5000
ieet OF hose always kept attached in various
parts OF tho house. A telegraph fire alarm in

appliances and safeguards against conflagra-
ton. From three hytlrants on tho roof tao
hotci force can protect their own structure

most; perhaps, and yet mustard plasters
are used in every family, and physicians

ordinary way is to mix the mustard
with water, tempering it with q little

it simply abominablc. Before it hos
half done its work it begins to blister
the patient, and leave him finally such
a painful fiayed spot, after having
produced far less effect in q beneficial
way than was intended. Now, q mus.
tard plaster should never make q

there are other plasters far better than
mustard for tho purpose. When you
mako mustard plaster, then, use no
water whatever, but mix the mustard
with the white OF an egg, and tho result
will be a plaster which will "draw I"
