ton to church fairs. When asked how to

New York, and studying voice culture
under the tuition of Prof Maola, an Ital
i'm master. Prof Zeller writes that he is
quite fascinated with the study and with
Prof. Maola's method Of teaching. He

WIN. SWAN, wealthy and aristocratic
young New Yorker has created quite a
social furor, caused his family to cut y
him and sensible people to admire him,
because I" all for love" he married the

The Columbia Spy, in a half-column
"ad." informs it's readers that DR.. N.
LEVIN, having a private hospital in that
town, "will give the best accommodations
for $40 per week, including boarding,
medicine, wine aid attendance by servants, -
and that g the doctor was formerly surgeon
Of the Guard regiment in Russia, and prac-
ticcd medicine eight years in Berlin, Prus-

handsome gift from the groom, and Mr..
LaooucLcre justly observes that this in
creasing tax on matrimony is of evil influ-
ence upon bachelors.
BISMARCK has become so stout of late
years that he can no longer occupy an
ordinary dining chair, and sits on low
sofa, with his famous dog lying at his feet.
He likes to exhibit his accomplishments,
and one day on receiving visit from Sig
nor Manlini, Italian minister of foreign
affairs, he sat down at the piano and play
