morning of her triumph. The great singer
heard Miss Abbott sing and Immediately
became her benefactress. She was sent to
New York, and afterward through the in
terest of friends whom she made in the
great metropolis, to Europe.
Here Miss Abbott devoted herself to her
musical studies with the same unhinching
energy and application which had charac-
terized he struggle for bread and butter.
Not the minutest detail was too insignifi-
cant to be thoroughly mastered. In 1875
she made her debut in England, creating q
great furore in operatic circles. She visit
ed the largest cities Of England and Ireland,
receiving a perfect ovation everywhere.
She was finally announced to sing "ViO-
letta," in LA Traviata," but when she saw
the bills, refused to appear, saying she
could not appear in the role of cour-
tesan or any part where vice was made
alluring."
Every effort was made to change her
decision, without avail. The consequence
was a cancellation of her contract at a
great pecuniary sacrifice, and the risk of
losing all that she had toiled for during
thelong years of struggle and hardships
Miss Abbott has always maintained the
firm principles which characterized this
action, and to-day is named Honest Little
Emma" by her friends for her pure, honor
able, warm-hearted womanliness and noble
Christian character. Her wonderful voice
and sympathetic, graceful action assure
the latter and the fact that she is not only
by birth but the whole course and tenor of
her life truly American only strengthen
her endearment to the former.
On Monday next at Pixies Emma Abbott
will begin one weeks season Of Grand
English Opera.

ONE of the most touching testimonials
# well-spent life, gratefully and feel
ingly honored in death, was that of the
funeral and burial Of Bernard Mallon,
at Atlanta, Ga, few days since. Mr..
Mallon was the organizer of the public
school system of Georgia, and long its
Superintendent. He subsequently re.
moved to Texas, where he became Presi-
dent of the Normal Schools of that
State, and there died. Mr.. Mallon was
a brother of Judge Mallon, and brother
in-law of DR.. Bradford, of this city, and
in accordance with their desires his re-
mains were brought here for interment
at Spring Grove Cemetery, but the
city of Atlanta, Georgia, made so
earnest an appeal to Mr.. Nal
Ions relatives for permission to have
him buried there that he was sent
finally to that city, and his funeral re-
ported in Atlanta papers of late date
was one of the most spontaneous out
pourings of the people ever known in
Georgia. Over ten thousand persons
joined in the general procession, and the
obsequies were participated in by Gov.
Colquitt, Mayor Calhoun, the public
schools, almost the entire city of Atlanta
and many of the most eminent citizens
of the State. The body, at the close Of
the touching ceremonies, was deposited
in the cemetery in lot specially pro
vided by the city. One of the impres
sive incidents of the occasion spoken Of
by the Atlanta papers was the profound
respect and sorrow testified by the col
ored people of the city and country fol
miles about, in behalf Of whose educa
tional progress Mr.. Mallon had whilt
living shown SO deep an interest.
