An American Girl in Europe.
Lncy Il. Hooper.

l was told pretty anecdote the other day of a graceful compliment paid by the Baroness de ROthschild to Mile. Marie Van Zandt. The Baroness had invited Mme and Mile. Van Zandt to take quiet and sociable dinner with her, her mourning for her brother-in law preventing her from giving or going to entertainments as vet. After dinner, on returning to the drawing room, the Baroness smilingly desired Mile. Van Zandt to try the tone of her p:ano. The httle diva touched the keys accordingly, but no sound issued from them. T had the instrument unstrung this morning, Mademoiselle," said her hostess, that you might see that the only pleasure that promised myself from your pres ence this evening was the pleasure of your society" It is interesting to note the posi- tive personal interest that is felt for Mile. Van Zandt by the Parisian public. This graceful, winsome, charming little crea- ture, with her lovely voice and her dain- ty, fragile prettiness, is literally the pet ted darling of the audience at the Opera COmique. The other night she was suffering terribly from neuralgia, and fearing that she might not be able to get through the opera, she caused an an. nouncement of her indisposition to be made before beginning the second act Of "Dinorah." Instead of the usual applause or murmurs of discontent, there was a general ejaculation throughou tthe house of "poor child! Poor little thinew and her brilliant singing of the Shadow Song" called forth such an ovation as a prima donna seldom receives in Paris. NJ. Delibes is 10 9 over his new opera of 'Lakme' with her some time next week. The plot of the libretto is said to be very pathetic. Ldkme is a Hindo girl, who is loved and deserted by an English officer, and she dies al the moment tbat a strain of Eoglish martial music an- nounces the authorization for home ofher faithless lover. It strikes me that this denouemem resembles rather too much that of, "LAfricaine."

A SINGULAR fish is found Ill great 2-rn- bers in the coast rivers of Alaska. It is about eight inches long, transparent, and inc most fat of all the finny tribes. This fat, however, has not the oily, rancid taste of other fish, but is like fresh lard When these fish are dried, the Indians oflen turn them to a novel and practical account-burn them in place of candles They give a clear, brilliant light, and are not liable to be blown out by the wind The tail should be lighted instead of the head, and each fish will burn about if icon minuies.
