excited an unusual interest. There were
many who remembered her Zerlina in Fra
Diav olo several years ago, and were anx-
ious to discover what changes and i'm
provement time and cultivation had
wrought. To say that they were delight
ed with her performance would give but
FAINT idea of ths truth. Her voice is as
fresh and sweet as Of yUre, and 1t has
gained very much IN fullness and complete
ness of tone. kathleen Mavourneen,
which she gave after the Triumph of
Love- was invested with new and
charming interest. The pathos and deli
cacy Of the sentiment in the song were
conveyed TO the ear with spirit and feel
ing. and accuracy of phrasing that be-
spoke intelligence of conception and
thorough musical training. The lower and
softer infections of the voice were man
aged so skiIlfully that there was not even
the appearance of art or effort.

site in West Virginia and will at once put
up mill which will employ eighty hands.
Mr.. Dixon has long been in the business,
and made the paper on which tina Ciacin-
natl ''Commercial'' was printed twenty
five years ago. 1t was made out of rags.
however, for paper out of wood pulp had
not then been thought Of. Mr.. Dixon,
who is an observant gentleman, says he
was astonished to find in the two Virgin

generally known at the North, much Of
the enterprise expended in the West would
I1e transferred here. Mr.. D. who was on
his return to Pbiladelphia. was in charge
of Maj. N. II. Hotchkiss, who had been
detailed by The railroad authorities to take
