SORROWS OF SINGERS.
Marital Infelicities of Great Artists
Their Lot Not Always a Happy One.


The lot OF the famous singer is not always
happy one, From the days of Malibran,
who was in America over half a century ago,
to those of poor Christine Nilsson, trouble
and sorrow have spared none of the great
singers who have been popular idols The
most lucky of these is Jenny Lind, who re-
tired on fortune before her voice failed, and
who leads happy domestic life in London.
But Malibran when young married rascal,
and although her second marriage was not
unfortunate, she lived but very short time
after it. Her contemporary and rival, Mile.
Sontag, married an Italian count and entered
fashionable life, retiring from the stage
when quite young. But her count was also
a rascal, who squandered all her mouey in
gambling, and she had, when nearly fifty
years old, to resume her artistic career, which
was brilliant to the last. But her husband
was jealous well as a spendthrift and
when she died in Mexico there were suspic-
ions that she and the handsome tenor Pozzo-
lini were both poisoned. Mile. Grisi, who
was acknowledged the grandest dramatic
singer of her time, welded a man whom she
did not love and who was not worthy of her,
and she made a scandal by leaving him for
the arms of the equally famous tenor, Mario.
Mile. AlbOni, probably the grandest contralto
singer that ever appeared in public, was
married for The fGrtnne in. her voice by an
happy one, and they lived apart for some
years. He did not, however, squander her
money, and when he died she lost ne time in
becoming the wife of a French subaltern
officer much younger than herself, who loves
her fortune devotedly, and makes himself
generally dissgreeable to those that rent
houses or apartments of her in Paris
Missions husband, NJ. Rouzaud, is said 10
have inherited insanity from his family, and
he was literally mad in love with Der when
he persuaded her to become his wife. He
was crazy, too about stock speculations, and,
after gambling all his own and his wife's for
tune away on the Bourse, he died in a mad
house. Another great singer, Mile. He'll
bronn, who was a pet of Paris some years
ago, married a French count, and lost
through him all she had in the crash of the
Union Generate. She is now compelled,
after having lost the freshness of her voice,
10 return to the stage. Everybody knows
how Adelina Patti threw herself away upon
poor old French marquis, from whom she
fed, after he had enriched himself cat of her
earnings; and how she has thrown herself
away in another manner with Signor Nico-
lini. Adelina Is reported by Western in
terviewer to have said, also, that her sister
Carlotts's husband is bad fellow, who
spends all his wife earns in gambling.
These are only q few examples; more
might be given 10 illustrate the facility with
which popular singers, who can earn from
$500 to $4,000 a night, sacrifice themselves
on the altar of hymen, who must be a very
mercenary kind of divinity.

NEMPnlS APPEAL
Why TENNEssEANs EmIGRATE.

The Searcy Record, one of the most intelli-
gently conducted papers in Arkansa-, refer
ring to a recent article in this paper upon
The frequency OF emigration from this State,
very kindly remarks that "tbe Memphis
APPEAL is certainly one OF the sblest and
best informed journals of the South" and it
undertakes to supply a reason in addition to
those mentioned by ourselves why such emil
grafton takes place, as follows: "The chief
reason, in our opinion, and which has caused
many, of our own knowledge, to leave the
western tier of counties, was the enormous
burden of debt which hangs over them.
Upton and Lauderdale counties, particu-
larry, have about S5O0,O0O to pay for the
benefit of the Memphis and Paducah rail
road, besides other Indebtedness. The sub
rcription of Upton county was the result
of a conspiracy so shameful that Judge En-
icons took occasion to remark from the bench
that the people of Upton county would be
derelict in their duty did they not prosecute
The chairman of the County Court to the peni-
Tertiary. Yet they did not only not do that
but re elected him to the same position, and
it was due in great measure to his advice
that the county resisted the payment of the
very bonds issued by his agency While the
railroad failed in nearly every particular TO
comply with their agreements, yet the courts
of that State have decided that the bonds
must be paid, and as a result we see the
young men of that section seeking homes
where the burdens are not so great" We
think this instance exactly confirms the cor
rectness of what the APPEAL has said. The
Indebtedness is result of want OF discrim;-
nation and caution in making proper condi-
tions before voting the money. The re-elec-
tion of a person unfit for official position
was another instance of bad judgment. Had
the public schools of the State been as nu-
nerous and efficient as they should be, and
were our people supplied with libraries, by
aid of which intelligence and sound knowl-
edge are disseminated among the people,
fuch errors, such want of wisdom, and such
Indifference to personal character as the
Record speaks of could scarcely have oc-
CURED.

LOVE ME, LOVE MY DOG,

The Walthall Miss Warden disc uses the
dog question, as isvery legitimate in view OF
its statement that the number OF dogs in
mississippi is equal to that of the male popu-
lation of the State. At that rate the say
ing Love me, love my dog" has its meaning
there, and as love demands many sacrifices,
Mississippi makes them cheerfully. The
Warden is not in line with this gener-
osity of sentiment. 1t declares that dogs,
outside of the necessary watch dog, are
worthless as property, yield no revenue, are
expensive, mischievous, annoying, devour
enough to feed every pauper in the State and
20 relieve the wants of every widow, and to
support every missionary the State sends
abroad. Beside this, money-making busi-
ness is given up for the love Of the dog, for
where superhuous dogs are the desirable
sheep cannot be. The sheep gives his wool
and his meat, the dog costs much and is a
nuisance. Every house has barking
dog, while the useful sheep are rare. The
dogs eat them up, worry them as il they were
pesdferous rata instead of public henetaetors.

ANGES.

Great as is the contempt of the people of
this district for w. r. Moore, they are ready
to hold up his hands and rally to his support
In every righteous cause. But it is evident
that our member of Congress can ac-
eomplish nothing. 1t is said that he has
more winning ways than any man in Con-
gress to inspire hatred and contempt, and
it is not surprising that members OF Con-
eress should take a malicious delight in
opposing everything he favors. This
Contempt and dislike is not surprising.

Using agent who walks up and down the
streets dressed in gay toggery and carrying
banner on which is inscribed the
virtues OF a patent medicine nostrum.
Accordingly Moore was laughed at by mem
bers of Congress just as the college boys
laugh at Oscar Wilde's hair, his knee
breeches, his velvet coat, his lilies and his
sunAowers. Ambitious farmers often fence
jn and plant more than they can tend, and
1t is evident that Moore's patch is to be
Ghoked with weeds and grass He signal
ized his advent into Congress by protesting
5n the name of civilization against the adj
mission of Chalmers as a member of Con-
Rress. The result is the Committee on Elec-
tons has reported that Chalmers is legally
entitled to his seat. Moore tells the country
that in the next election Tennessee will take
her place as permanent Republican
State. The result is the Democrats are
organizing and determined to sweep
the State by the usual majority. Moore in
rists that his ''bud" is to be made postmaster
Of Memphis, but the efficient pestmistress,
who has given so much satisfaction to the
people of Memphis, still holds the fort.
Moore has asked for an appropriation to
build turnpike from Memphis to the Ma
tional Cemetery, bat members of Congress
are inclined to oppose everything favored by
q man they regard as a crank. Moore has
undertaken to grapple with civil-service re-
form. He has introduced a bill on this sub
ject, and as he is the author, it will sleep the
sleep that knows no waking. 1t is evident
that our member is prolific Ia promises but
poor in performances. To hear him talk one
would naturally suppose that he had the
Congress of the United States in the palm of
his capacious hand. But he is regarded
by members as a big bubble, ball
OF foam that swims around the eddy, always
In sight, and fancying that he is the power
that moves the mill. He reminds one of
lnenaserie with tremendous display OF
gilded wagons but mighty few animals. He
is as pretentious and snowy as dollar-store.

more than confidence; he has faith, trust,
implicit reliance, calm and sober conviction
