How q King Cured q Prlma Donna.

There is q curious story told Of the
manner in which Frederick the Great
could deal, where other men had failed,
with prima donna Of the period who
was inclined to set too little store by the
public. This great artist seemed 10
catch cold, which had the effect Of rem
dering her hoarse and consequently un.
able to sing, whenever anybody or any
thing had displeased her.
One day certain opera was to be per.
formed at Berlin before the king him.
self. At the appointed hour the man.
ager came forward and said: Ladies'
and gentlemen, we grieve to inform you
that our l'rima donna has sore throat,
and that the representation announced
cannot therefore take place" The stolid
Teutonic audience seemed no whit sur.
prised, and was moving out TRANQUILITY,
when the king rose and commanded, the
dience sat down again and waited pa
tiently on events.
In less than quarter of an hour the
manager resppeared and spoke as fol-
lows: "Ladies and gentlemen, have
tie most unfeigned pleasure in inform
ing you that our orima donna is COM
pletely cured of her sore throat and will
have the honor TO sing before you to-
night" Surely enough the famous sing
er soon appeared, and never had she
sung better. Her triumph was COM
plete.
The kings prescription had been a
very simple one. The prin,a donna,
having dismissed the unhappy manager,
was sitting comfortably before the fire in
her own room, and rather pleased at the
idea of having spoiled the pleasure of
several hundreds of persons, when the
door was violently thrown open, and
there entered nm officer followed by four
dragoons. Mademoiselle, quoth the
officer, "the king, my master, has sent
me to ask after your health" The
king is very good; I have sore throat"
ellis majesty knows it, and has charged
me to take you at once to the military
hospital, where you will be cured in
few days" Mademoiselle turned pale.
"You are iesting," she simpered; but
Prussian officers, she was informed.
never tested. The lieutenant gave the
order to his men, who seized mademoi-
selle and carried her out of the theater.
A coach was in attendance; the lady
was deposited therein; the officer took
his place beside her, after shouting his
address to the driver: "The military
hospital" and off they went, the dra-
goons riding alongside. In few sec
onds "Stay," said the lady II think
I feel better" "The king is anxious,
mademoiselle, that you should feel quite
restored, and even that you should sing
tonight 81 will try" murmured the
prisoner. 'Back to the theater, cried
the officer to the coachman. Arrived
there, mademoiselle began to think she
had yielded too easily. ~ will sing
since his majesty commands me-" she
said, "but God knows how" You
will sing" replied the officer, :" like the
great artist you are" 81 shall sing
like an artist with bad cold" 81
think not" "And why !" because
couple of dragons will be in attendance
behind the scenes, and at the least couac
they have orders to arrest you and carry
you off again to the military hospital"
The hoarseness was now completely

Europe. In June, 1866, he delivered political
speech of great power, which was circu-
lated throughout the North. In January. 1867,
he was elected to the United States Senate, and
reelected in 1873. His present term would end
in 1879. 10 1870 he declined the mission to
Eogland.
Mr.. Morton came to the Senate with the
great prestige of his record as war Governor or
Indiana, and high reputation for eloquence
and energy of character. He soon became a
leader in that body, and since the war few men
have lived more in the public gaze than he. In
all the reconstruction measures he has horne
prominent part, and his powerful eloouence
has always been exerted in behalf of freedom
and equal rights for all, however poor or lowly.
In him the freedmen of the South found firm
and constant friend, able and willing to do bat
tie at all times 10 their behalf. His caraer in
the Senate reeds no rehearsal here. 1t ia fresh
in the public mind On some questions he has
wavered. His financial views were at one
time tnged with the hereses prevalent in the
West But on most of the intricate problems
which the country has had to deal with since
the war, his judgment has been sound, and his
loss is one the country and the Republican par
ty at this time can i'll bear.
The disease, paralysis, of which Senator
Morton died first attacked him in 1866 His
own account of it is very interesting and pa
thetic. 'Du1ing the latter part of the summer
and first part of the fall of 1865" he once said,
81 felt an indisposition to read or study. L
didn't care to read so much as a newspaper.
My mind felt dull and clouded, and 1 found
many little things escaping my memory. 1
was confused easily, and took little or no in
terest in what was going on about me. Even
| the duties of the state no longer engaged my
close attention. These feelings continued until
| the 10th of October. I shall never forget the
| day. 1t was beautiful one; the air was crisp,
| and walked very long distance. In the eve
ming retired somewhat fatigued, but in other
respects apparently in my usual health. The
next morning woke early, but as attempted
to get out of bed discovered was unable to
lift my limbs Again and again I made the
| effort, when it instantly flashed through my
m lind that was parals zed. 1t felt little pain,
but from my hips downward L was unable to
move myself" Ever afterward he was COM
| PEELED to deliver his speeches in sitting post
ure.

The TurcO-Russian War.


LONDON, Nov. lit appears from Buchsr-
est telegram last night that AN effort is being
made to gain possession of the Plevna and
Rabova road. The Roumanian force which has
been stationed between the rivers Vd and Isk-
"a, yesterday made a reconnaissance along the
Danube iu the direction of Rahova At Vadeni
they found Turkish detachment occupying
some earthworks. The Roumanian report states
that after briet cannonade the Turkish maya
zine exploded and the garrison retreated in the
direction of Rahova. Two companies of Rou-
manians occupy the redoubt.
1000 Turks Captured at Telieche.
A Russian official despatch says the number
of prisoners captured at Dubrik and Telsche
was 1000, including two Pashas and 200 officers
and an Ecglish colonel in the Turkish service
After the victories at Dubrik and Telische the
Russian scouts approached Radormiaze, and
Chevket Pssha with twelve hattaions fled from
there without waiting to destroy the bridge,
which is now intact in our hands. Our cavalry
is pursuing Chevket Pasha.
Osman's Army in a Tight Place.
VIENNA, Nov. 1.-The uneasness at Con-
stantinople about Osman Pasha's army is by
no means groundless. 1t is true that there are
roads in the direction of Widdin and Venatza
which do not appear to have been closed, but
these are of little avail for supplies and are
very poor substitutes for the Sofia road in case
of a retreat from Plsvna. While there were
only detachmeuts of Russian cavalry ranging
west of the Vid, and all important points on
the road were held by the Turks, retreat could
have been effected with considerable facility;
but now that the Muscovite army may be said
to be in the rear of Plevna and on the most di-
rect lire OF retreat, retiring movement by
other routes becomes rather doubtful matter.

England Proposing Mediation.
| The Times Berlin correspondent says thai

| with view tc the restoration of peace in the

England is sounding the powers as to the prob

any decided response to highlands overture un-
| til after some decisive operation. There have
| been numerous contradictory rumors in circu-
lation on the subject,
