MIR. Window on the minnesota
Bonds.

Ex Secretary Window has ad.
dressed the following reply to a letter
of inquiry from the editor of the St.
Paul (Minn.) Pioneer Press:
WASHINGTON, October 15.-M ,
dear Wheeleck Hastily replying to
your note, desire to say that / do
not imagine any one has ever doubted
my position on the bond question. l
have certainly not refrained from giv~
ing the most full and frank expression
of my sentiments on that subject.
Whatever may be said as to the CON
sideration received for said bonds, it
is certainly true that they have been
issued by the State authorities, and
bear the great seal of the State. These
facts are known to everybody, while
very few will take the trouble to in
quire into the circumstances under
which they were issued, and therefore
the credit of the State will suffer until
they are properly disposed of. Having
been so often honored by the highest
expressions of her confidence, | am
extremely sensitive to any charges
against the good name of Minnesota,
and hence / would agree to almost
anything to secure a satisfactory and
proper adjustment Of this question.
The pending proposition having been
submitted, as | understand, by the
owners of the bonds, l would, as a
citizen Of the State, give it my earnest
support. Very sincerely yours,
w, WINDOW.

IT was mentioned in the dispatches
few days ago that 100 Russian i'm
migrants hadlanded at New York from
the steamer Italian direct from Liv.
erpool. The most of these came
from Odessa and that vicinity.
There were two or three families
in the party, but tho great majority
were young men. About fifteen
Of the number have arrived in Mem
phis and those not already located are
looking for places. They arc intelli
gent young men and speak several
languages, including German, but not
English. Two of them are stopping
temporarily with the Franklin Bros,
grocery merchants, corner of Vance
and Cynthia streets. Some others have
already found work. They are willing
to work at anything they can do. Their
greatest drawback at present is in not
being able to speak English, but they
can soon learn enough for practical
purposes. We hope that our German
and Jewish fellow citizens in particu.
lar will look after these strangers and
see that they get something to do.
They have come from their distant
homes because this is free country,
and they desire to share its blessings.
Given little encouragement now,
they will remain among us, become
useful citizens, and perhaps be the
cause Of many others coming.

OPERATIC GOSSIP.
Mile. Litta will Not Marry Her
Sweet Tenor, If Anybody.
Special to COurisr-Journsl.l

Special to Courier-Journal.l
BLOOMINGTON, ILL.,, October 81
1t was announced in Chicago and
Bloomington papers, a short time ago,
that the marriage OF Mile. Litta, the
prima donna, to Harry Cleveland, the
we'll known American tenor, would
take place in Chicago on the 10Th of
October. The friends OF the song
stress in this city, her home from early
childhood, looked forward to the
event with no small degree of inter-
est, and were expecting at the
proper time to send the usual
congratulations, and accompanied by
appropriate wedding presents. 1t
is said that the wedding had been ar
ranged to take place on the 10Th Of
October, but when the day arrived
the nuptials, for some reason, were
not performed, much to the surprise
of her friends in this city. A Courier
Journal correspondent to-day inters
viewed Litta's mother, who had Just
arrived home from Chicago, where
she had been to assist in a number of
law suits in favor of her famous daugh-
ter and for back pay due the prima
donna, and the reported approaching
marriage was stoutly denied by her,
she declaring Litta at no time was
ever engaged to Cleveland, and, so far
as their getting married, there is not
particle Of truth in the report. It's
true that since making her debut in
America she has had several offers of
marriage, some of which were fatter-
ing in a pecuniary way, but she has
declined them all. From further con
versation with Litta's mother, your,
correspondent was led to believe that
among all the famous prima dom
mas of the day, Litta was in
purse, perhaps, the poorest. She is
yet under contract to pay certain
amount of her earnings to certain
parties at Cleveland for money ad-
vanced for her European musical
education. She has lost money by i'll
luck Of managers, or else their dis
honesty toward her. She is, perhaps,
almost as poor as the day when
she electrified the country by
her matchless voice, as did Jennie
Lind in the years gone by. Her
father, who was an expert musician,
but shiftless and worthless sort ofI
fellow, died a year before Litta made
her appearance in America, which |
was soon after the furore she created |
in Paris. A large family of small |
children were dependent upon the
young girl for bread and butter, and
bravely has the gifted singer done her
part in keeping them from want.
