of four principal gulches which all head
in Bald Mountain. a prominent peak
which looms up $4,000 feet above the sea

snow cleave the mountain in four
parts, and furnish the motive power for
excavating the precious metal. The fall
of these streams is so great that hydraul-

WEBSTER AND JENNY LIND,

Ex-Gov. Foote's "Reminiscences of the Past
When the dinner was over, Webster,
in his most bland and courteous manner,
aYproaced Stuart and myself, and invited
us to accompany him in his carriage back
to Washington, suggesting that he would
be pleased il we would go with him also
to the opera, where Jenny Lind was to
regale, for the last time, Washington
audience with her charming minstrelsy.
There was, of course, no refusing such
an invitation; so we hurried forward with
glorious anticipstions Of enjoyment. On
arriving at the door of the opera house,
Webster entered in his grandest manner,
Of the building 1t chanced that Jenny
Lind was then on the platform, and was
about to commence singing our inspiring
national anthem. The Star-spangled
Banner" So soon as Webster's APP
proach was perceived, the assemblage
spontaneously broke forth with tempest
uous applause, evidently recognizing it
as remarkable coincidence that the re-
nowncd defender of the Constitution
should happen to come in the very mo-
ment that the sacred emblem of the ma.
tion's liberty and union was on the very
eve of being rapturously apostrophized
in song. So soon as the audience settled
down into quietude, the inspiring tones
of Jenny Lind's marvellous voice were
heard. Meyer before or since have l
have l been so overwhelmingly sensible
rs on that occasion i was, of the COM
mingled power Of music and sentiment.
The whole cohcourse really seemed to be
electrified. Webster was so transported
with delight that he actually seemed to
become almost unconscious of the
presence of others, aud hummed very
distinctly in unison with the vary
ing tones Of the songstress. All the
enthusiasm of bis soul seemed to
have been kindled to flame. all his patri-
otic pride to have been awakened, and
his whole moral nature appeared to have
been touched. and inspired" by the
seraphic sounds to which he was au en-
raptured listner. When the song had
been concluded. Webster, as if impelled
by sense Of official duty to offer, in the
name of the great nation which he felt
himself entitled in some degree to repre-
sent on this occasion, the formal tribute
OF its respect, rose from his seat, and
stepping forward to central position
between the audience and the platform
on which Jenny Lind was standing, he
made her one of the most honoring and
majestic bows ever beheld. The amia-
BILE and accomplished recipient of an
homage as unexpected as it must have
been gratifying. manifested something of
a graceful and blushing embarrassment
but courtesied, notwithstanding, most
profoundly in response, upon which the
assembled multitude gave vent to their
delight in most vociferous applause. A
second bow was administered. with nre.
cisely similar Accomplishments. A third
bow was rendered, when the charming
Swedish Nightingale, as she was
called, iuoontinently took wing and be-
came invisible to our fond ?dmirino
eyes, perchance forever.
