from his recent accident as to sit up. A
rib that is over eighty years old is, of
course, broken, without any reasonable
hope of its ever joining again 4; but his en-
inence, though unable to stand, and there
fore to say mass, has now the consolation
of reading and writing almost as incessant-

A rumor was circulated in Paris recently
to the effect that Nine. CHRISTINE NILSSON,
whose operatic triumphs in America are
still in recollection, had lost her voice and
was not likely to return to the lyric stage.
The fair cantatrice at once published
flat contradiction of the rumor, attributing
it to the malice Of an enemy. Her voice is

ever, and has never been affected by a cold
or any other cause to such a point as to
justify shadow of apprehension that she
might be ever temporarily prevented from
pursuing her professional avocations. The

characterized her voice still remain with
out blemish. Nine. Nilsson is await
ing the confirmation of contract on
which her visit to America depends, but
up to the present time nothing definite has
been concluded.
