SINGULAR CAsE.-A remarkable case
was the death of three sisters in Brattle-
boro. These sisters have long lived to-
gether, and were highly respected in the
circle in which they moved. The first

Mr. MIETzEE's CoNoaRr. Editor Rut-
Jaud Herald In your notice of the
concert on Tuesday evening, you, think,
failed to do full justice to the singing
of Madame DeRyther Although not
recovered from the cold she contracted
some two weeks since, her singing was
divine. Her rendering of the beautiful
cavatina Robert, was exquisite, show
ing that her voice has great compass and
fiexibility, combined with great sustain
ing power and sympathetic quality. She
was universally ''encored, and respond
ed with the song, "As I'd Nothing Else
to Do" Her execution of the beautiful
song, Lover and Bird was brilliant,
her voice becoming clearer at every note.
In the charming ballad, Farewell, ="
Madame carried the hearts of her audi
ence by her grand and sympathetic voice,
and was heartily applauded. AS a bal
lad singer, Madame DeRyther has few
equals. We hope to have her with us
again and accord to her full house.

AMOUNT OF GOLD EXISTING PRIOR To
TIE REcENT DISCOVERIES.
National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1873-07-08

The Paris Figaro says that the shah's bag
gage contains two hundred talismans, four OF
which 1t describes. One Is gold star of five
points, and supposed to have been possessed
by the legendary Rustem, It's called Mer-
Loum, and has the reputation Of making con.
sp!rators Immediately confess. When the
Shah's brother was accused Of treason some
time since the star was shown him, and, ter
riaed and overcome by rcmorse, he avowed
his iniquities. His confession was, Of course,
attributed to Its efficacy. He was
banlshed. The next important tallsman
Is q cube Of amber which fell from heaven In
Mahomet's time. IL Is supposed to render
the Shah invulnerablc, and he wears 1t about
his neck. Another Is little box Of gold, set
In emeralds, aud blessed by the prophets. II
renders the royal family invisible as long as
'they are celibates. The Shah had, however,
numerous wives before II came into his pos
session. Another 10 diamond, set In one of
his scimetars, which renders It's possessor in
vincible; and there Is also dagger with the
same property, but 1t is ordained that those
who use It should perish by 1t. 1t is, there
fore, carefully kept shut up In sandal wood
box, on which Is engraved verse OF the
Koran.

lCorrespondence OF the New Ncrk Graphic.
Bathing is Gte now, and the ladies are be
ginning to go In In force. The exclusives,
who come down with their own outfits and
their own maids to carry them down to the
clearinghouse, have hardly yet mado their
appearance but there are few young ladies
whose style Is indicative Of the mode, and
who adopt what Is known as the Nellie
Grant" bathing suit exclusively.
This consists Of q Garlbaldl waist, with
sailor collar, a short SKIRT attached 10 the
waist by belt and trousers. Hempon shoes
and chip hat, tied down with broad band
Of ribbon, completed the outfit. Ash gray.
bound with scarlet, and blue with white are
the fayoritu combinations.
Ladies' who hire their bathing suits have an
advantage at this early season; they can
choose their dresses, and sometimes succeed
In getting quite presentable ones. The new.
est are made of striped bed-ticking, which is
not only dreadful to look at, but very harsh
aud unI leasant to wear.

GERMAN INFLUENCE ON AMERICAN
CHARACTER.

Our exchanges come TO US from every Sec
ton OF the country showing that the obsery-
ance Of the Fourth Of July as a holiday has
been universal both North and South, but Of
the same time showing that, rs the occasion
Of political celebration of the anniversary
Of our national Independence, II has been al
most entirely ignored. We miss the reports
Of sprcad-cagle orations and the rhetorical
buncombe which wers In autc-bellum times
essential incidents Of the day. Instead, we
| find that excursions into the country, plcnics
and other similar enjoyments characterized
the manner Of Its observance. In short, II
was holiday, and not a celebration. There
was also notable diminution Of fircwork
displays, and Young America, with his cheer.

crackers, sky rockets, and other such explo.
sive instruments Of arson and accident, wa,
discouraged in their use. Briefly, the manner
Of observing 'thc day we celebrate" ha,
changed radically, and, with the exception
Of the sad feature Of drunkenness, which
seems to have prevailed very generally, the
Fourth Of July, 1878, did not In the least re.
semblc its predecessors In 1S50-'6O.
Our people are accused Of being given tc
bombast, and the Fourth has been the day or
which they formerly gave vent to the exuber
ance Of their proud arrogance. Is II posi-
BILE that they are learning new lesson, ant
that with the progress Of years, while thei
patriotism is undimmed, they are changin,
from the rhetoric and pyrotechnic love o

among the latest converts to female sufrsgei
but he qualities his conviction with state
mont Of belief that property Qualification
should be required Of female voters. There
arc many people In this country who believe
the same, but who dare not, In face OF public
opinion, acknowledge that belief. The
trouble after all Is the character OF the per-
sous who are supposed to be the champions
Of so-callcd ''woman's rights" and the natu'
raj affinity which the majority Of them seem
TO have for free-loye and other similar I'm
moralities. Il Is q knowledge Of this fact that
makes the movement so universally unpopu'
lar. At the same time II leads people to be.
licvc that women, to remain pure, should BE-
kept rs far a. possible from the coutamina
tion Of public affairs. Mr.. Disracli has sur
mounted all these prcjudiccs, aud we may

Mr.. LOUIS scHADE's new paper, the Wash
ington Sentinel has attracted no little atten-
ton, both here and elsewhere, by the bold
stand which 1t assumes in opposition to all
prohibltory legislation. This Is not due go
much to the novelty of the enterprise as 1t is
to the force of the argument used to sustain
It's position. No doubt 1t will succeed, as 1t
deserves 20 do. We know that he believes
the effect Of prohlbitory legislation to DO to
provoke drunkenness; Tut the argument on
which he mainly relies Is that the Govern.
menl cannot spare the revenue which II now
derives from the tax on spirits. This Is his
platform In brief. We expect to hear him
denounced as the champion of intemperance.

member is not mentioned; but II Is under

1t Is quite probable that some rich discov-
