W0MANLY WOMAN

There is so much good Sense In
what lady writes 10 the New York
Observer touching the way to behave
in a crowd so as to avoid Ill usage
that we copy her remarks for tie
benefi of the sex at large:
A womanly woman never gets
jammed, or crowded, or pushed.
am neither young nor pretty, but I
never stand, nor am l ever shut out.
DO you know why? Simply bccau 90

aud am pushed before a mau, beg
Lard"n, and simply STEP back ard
give him his place. DO you suppose
he lets me? Never. On the contrary
he will help me forward and I thank
him, aud he helps ME more. No mac
but will help quiet lady, but don't
they like to be rude TO masculine
woman? l firmly believe they all do,
and for it we have only to thank the
womsn's right movement.
The Charleston News and Courier
Challenges the accuracy of Congress-
man Culn's statement that there are
more illiterate whites than blacks at
the south. MIR. Cam said that South
Carolina had "a ,692 whites and 16,.
S73 blacks who could not read. Tho
census simply states that 265, ,S92
South Carolinians cannot read, with
out distinguishing their race. AS all
who write must read, the number Of
uneducated darkies is largely out of
proportion to their share of the pop
ulation. which is about IS per cent.
OF, the whole. The average recorded
attendance of the public school for
the seven years of repu oiican admin
istration was 81 ,429 white and 46, ,48i
colored children under Democratic
rule the figures have been 5O,28i
white, s,036 colored.

IL TROVAT0RE.
VERDrs CELEBRATED OPERA, THE
TROUBADOUR-FULL SKETCH
OF THE MINSTREL.

The author of this opera is the Italian
composer. Giuseppe Verdi, who has been
a politician as we'll as a musician, and
is yet hale and hearty, in his sixty-fifth
year. Previous to this composition, his
greatest work was Ernanl, but in 1858
he brought out II Trovatore in Rome,
and it has ever since maintained its place
in the front rank of operas.
The name, II Trovatore, is Italian for
the Troubadour" Musicians geuer-
ally call it The Minstrel" The opera
is usually put upon the stage in tour
acts. or parts, but is sometimes serious
ly cut down by troupes to accommodate
it to the voices engaged. We publish
the entire opera, which will enable our
readers to fully comprehend the music
when placed before them.
ACT 1.
This act is entitled 'The Duel.' 1t
| may lie best to hrst narrate that, in the
| fifteenth century the Count di Luna lived
| in Spain, as handsome as he was impla-
cable. and folks said he was as 1mpla-
| cable as death. Then. a great lord in
that country was petty king and
| would as frequently make war against
| his neighbors on his own account
| as on account of his common coun-
| try. But proud and implacable as he
| was. he had bowed to the power of love,
| and was weak and plant in the presence
| OF Lady Leonora. His castle was always
| well defended. tor attacks might be
| made on it when least expected. At
tached to his castle was palace with
! superb grounds. On the approach OF
danger both palace and grounds were
deserted, and all communication between
them and the castle was cut off by the
up-heaving of heavy drawbridges.
One night the guard-room OF the pal
ace was filled, as usual, with soldiers of
duty and various servants, all OF them
hall asleep. Fernando observed this and
he woke them up, saying it was neal
the time for the count to pass through
the room. One man said 'One had bet
ter sing or tell stories il he would have
US keep awake The proposal being
| approved, Fernando settled himself in .
chair and told them this tale.

the care OF his heart. They were sleep.

them, when she awOke and saw a hap
in the room. She screamed aloud anc
