[Marksyille ReviewJ

We learn that the merchants Of New
Orleans arc in negotiations to secure
for the port of that city, the largest
vessel in the world, the Great Eastern.
This vessel was built years ago, really
in advance Of any demand for vessel
Of such size and tonnage, She has
since remained an elephant on the
hands of her owners. The successful
completion Of the jetties has brought
about demand for her services, sand
TO New Orleans will belong the credit
and honor Of furnishing employment
to the mammoth ycssel Of tho world.
The dimensions Of the vessel are as
follows:
Length of float line, GAO feet.
Length Of deck, $50
Width, midships, Il5
Width, over wheel honses,s Ii0 ("
With load Of $4,000 tons, or 59,-
100000 pounds, she viii draw 2s feet
Light, she will draw 10 feet. She has
five chimneys and six masts. With
full cargo she can reach New Orleans
and depart therefrom without difficulty.
She can take cargo Of 10000 bales
Of cotton; can carry 10000 passengers,
1t is proposed to ship on her cattle Cor
the English market. She can carry
thousands Of them at one trip, Surely
the future of New Orleans is bright with
promise, She is q noble city, and il
gladdens the heart of Lonisianians to
see evidences Of her future prosperity.

it now, and there ought to be no failure.
Let the new club get good hall, have it
fitted with good appliances any halfway,
cheap business will kill the club. Let
it have good bathrooms, warm exercise
rooms, free from draughts, and, above

new clubs is that members in their early
enthusiasm overwork themselves, get sore
disgust. Let the men go slowly, grow
into athletic exercise, and they will grow
into the club as permanancies.
THE SAPPHo.- The yacht Sappho, which
has been on Stones ways since the middle
of March, was launched on Friday after
noon. The Sappho has been heightened
eight feet, and the bow has been entirely
remodeled. The cabin has been enlarged
and rearranged. A new sliding topmast
and ''bodkin =" on the bowsprit have been
added to her rigging. So great have been
the improvements that it would be difficult
to recognize in her the Sappho of old. She
has been renamed, and henceforth will be
known as Loleta. -[San Francisco Call,

THE SOMEBODY'S.

Cupid has been playing the mischief
With I" somebody's heart, believe,
And tho something new, it happened, its true,
In church, one fine Sunday eve.
Gas usual equipped with quivers and bow,
The rogue stole in unaware,
And full of design, he gave no sign,
Or the warning word-beware!
"Darkling eyes discovered his presence,
Felt uneasy, and sore perplexed,
And I'm led to suspect, could not recollect
One word of the sermon, or text
In high glee the mischievous urchin
Calls glance from somebody's" eyes,
By aiming dart at somebody's" heart,
And then fast homeward he HES.
Joy attend these two happy Somebody's"
May their pathway be strewed with flowers,
And should their lives blend, may kind Heaven sent
Many blissful and bright sunny hours.

"MADgMo1sELLE NEVADA"
The Early Career of an Eminent Song
stress.
Nevada CITY Transcrlpt. April 94tb.

Nevada City Transcript, April 24thl
Mademoiselle Nevada who is to make
her debut at Her Majesty's Opera House
in London early next month, is attracting
great attention from the ablest musical
critics of Europe. The incidents of this
young lady's career are of peculiar ma
ture, and will bear being briefly related in
view of her present eminent position.
Postmaster Holbrook of this city says
that while in Georgetown, Ell Dorado
county, in the year 1858, he saw man
and woman attracted his attention,
and at the same time observed that they
were people who seemed by nature and
training intended for higher calling than
they were engaged in. In 1856 he came
to Alpha, then live mining camp, but
now a small settlement, twenty miles
northeast of this city. In the landlord
and landlady of the hotel at Alpha he
recognized the same parties he had seen
while at Georgetown. These people
were DR.. Wixom and wife. The former
was also engaged in the practice of medi-
cine. About 1857 girl baby was born to
the couple. One Fourth of July, when
the child in question had become about
four years old, grand celebration was
held at Alpha. Senator Sargent delivered
the grafton, and brass band furnished
the music. DR.. Wixom stood near the
musicians with his little girl, whose soul
seemed wrapped up in contemplation of
the strains from the instruments.
Papa, won't you ask the men to play
that piece you have told me so much
about T" she whispered, referring to a se-
lection of considerable difficulty that she
had often heard mentioned.
Her desire was gratihed. Before the last
notes of the music had died away on the
mountain air, the child began to sing in a
clear, bird-like voice, and reproduced faith
fully In g tra-la-las " the tune she had Just
heard. The miners appreciated the efforts
of the prodigy, and their delight was ex-
pressed in ringing huzzas.
While Pet " was yet mere toddler.
her parents moved from this county to the
State of Nevada, and her mother died.
The father of =" Pet" lin later DAYS known
as Emma) sent her to Mills Seminary,
where her vocal talents were frequently
displayed at musicales and concerts given
by Professor Kelleher For some time she
has been studying voice culture under some
of the leading masters of Europe. Her
age is in the neighborhood of twenty three
years.
And this is glimpse at the early career
of one who bids fair to rival the greatest
singers the world has ever produced. Ii
all the incidents in her experience were
raked up from the misty past and put in
print, they would constitute weird and
romantic tale of ups and downs, triumphs
and discouragements.

Quick Cure for Poison Oak.

A few months ago an eminent physician who had
tested the remarkable curative qualities of PHOS-
PLATE SOAP for various skin diseases, expressed
his belief that it would be excellent remedy for
Poison Oak 1t was accordingly tested for this pur
pose boy had been so badly poisoned as to be
confined to his bed for week. and had his hands all
covered with sores when he began to use PHoS-
PLATE SOAP. Within twenty four hours he was
greatly relieved, and in few days was entirely
cured of Poison Oak by the use OF PHOSPHATE
SOAP.
Men and women, young and DID, who wish to keep
the skin healthy, soft, natural ard beautiful should
avoid common soaps and buy nothing for toilet use
except PHOSPHATE SOAP. Ask your druggist
or grocer for it, and take nothing else.

BALzAc AND THE BOOKSELLER.

In the good old days when the Belgian
publishers were pirating French books, and
even selling them in Paris, Balzac suffered
very severely from the competition, which
was all the more aggravating because he
could not lay hands on the publisher or his
agents.
One day, however, as he was going
through the Palais Royal he espied impu.
IDENTIFY displayed in the window of dealer
one of the books in question. The blood
in his veins boiled, and lifting his cane,
the author of the "Comedie Humane u
smashed the pane of glass into thousand
pieces.
Out rushed the shopkeeper, white with
rage.
"Sir, l saw you smash my window"
81 do not say that | didn't"
"You know what the proverb says,
Men who break windows have ~
"sTo pay for them l have heard the
proverb in question, and generally it is cor

"Do l look as if 1 was?'
care you going to pay for that win
dow?
'Not if l can help myself"
"I'll send for the Commissaire
"Send for the Commissaire, then"
The magistrate arrives, and having heard
the evidence, bids the stranger to pay 5
francs to the bookseller The stranger does
so, and adds politely:
"M. lie Commissaire, through this pane,
which broke in order to obtain the pleas
ure of your acquaintance, you observe a
novel by Honore de Balzae, which Verdict
alone is authorized to publish. You will
perceive that the publishers name is Meline
of Brussels, an eminent pirate of French
books. This gentleman, whose window l
took the liberty of smashing, is dealing in
illicit goods, matter for which he will
have to answer before the Courts. In or
