A WONDERFUL WOMAN.
Geistinger Considered asian Actress and as
"A Singer,

al came, | saw, conquered" the Geistingei
may excIaim as truthfully as did Caesar, and
like the great warrior she too leaves behind her
barbarians who failed to appreciate her ell orts
in the degree anticipated by her most ardent
admirers. Madame Geistinger is, undoubtedly
great artistic, but il is as an actress not as a
ginger, that she should receive cOmmendation.
Her voice is still pleasing but it lacks the scope,
the harmony, which were once its qualities In
her own company there are better singers,
Mener, Miss SCebOld, perhaps Others, yet even
the chest tones of Miss SeebOld are defective
and Miss Mellner's staccatti have been sur
passed by many prime dOnne heard in this city.
The writer would have made these statements
nj an earlier date, but, iItuenced by the enthu-
siasm of the mad pern-.Oving Germans who
sounded Madame GeIstinger's praise, he
waited till the end of the engage
ment, ever expecting morceauX which
would have justified the assertions made before
she came and during the first part of her series
of performances. The justification, if there
were any, he failed TO perceive. Nevertheless
Geistinger is "a wonderful woman. Though
much older than most prime dome are when
they retire from the stage (she is nearly 3d. she
is still able by her acting to hold the attention
of the most critical assemblages, and it is
doubtful that at the present day there is one
other German actress who can be ranked with
her. Granting this ID seems strange that her
reputation should still rest on her triumphs as
a vocalist years ago, and not on her really mer-
ltflClOuS uCtlIlS Ut Ine pfeSellI Jlnle.
Madame Gcistinger loves stage life She has
been on the stage % years, yet applause, she
declares, thrills her now more than it did when
i'm Munich she battled with the difficulties which
lie in every debutantes path to fame In Ger
many the affection for her is akin to worship.
When travelling her course is marked by Ova-
tiOns monarch might well be proud of.
Though generous, her profits have been so
large that she enjoys the distinction Of being
the weathiest Europen actress. Her means al

dress of which the entire front is covered with
diamonds. This dress and the ornaments cost
her SI65,N0. 1t was worn here one night dur
ing the performance of TrOmpettc.
So eXhausting are Madame Geistingers efforts,
so intense her earnestneSs, that frequently
when leaving the stage she feels as one intOXi-
ca ted.
Some years ago Madame Geistingers form
was noted for its almost perfect contour. From
a French nObeman, it is alleged, she received
some tlOOO for plaster cast of one of her
limbs.
This morning the company left for New
Braunfcls, where it plays The Bat. Thence it
goes 10 Hot Springs, Little Rock and st. Louis.
In May the company will be disorganized and
Madame Geistinger will retire TO her castle, near
Kaernthen, Austria, never, probably, to per
form again, except for charitable purposes on
extraordinary occasions,

The Difference i'm Men.

One man has every thing that is necessary to
success in business; he has capital at his COM
mand, influential friends, wealthy relatives
ever ready to endorse his paper,-perhaps
steps into an established bushes, and yet in a
short time he fails. Another has none of these
advantages and yet in short time builds up a
large and extensive establishment. One of

10 what he attributed his success in business he
replied. that il was by fair and impartial deal
ing i'm all his business transactions; by adverts
ing and giving the public just what he adver-
Used, and by not asking too much for any arti-
eie i'm his stock, also by giving the customer any
advantage he might, by careful buying for
spot cash. In other words should Il little child
step in TO buy he would deal as fairly as
though the highest and loftiest person were

PROLONGATIONs OF THE BRAIN.
synopsis of a Physiognomical Lecture De
livered by a Partisan Scientist.


NJ. Poincelet, of Paris, who has a long
nose, has been delivering a physiognomical
lecture upon the human nose in general,
which he declares to be "a prolongation of the
brain" He says that the straight, heshy,
puissant nose denotes force of character and
independence of spirit. Such nose was the
nose of Shakespeare, of Milton, of Corneille,
of General Foy, of Richard Golden. The
lives of all these men were lives of powerful
influence and independence.
The aquiline nose denotes energy, auda-
city and perseverance. The leaders of politi-
cal parties, leaders of armies, champions of
great principles, have generally had aquiline
noses.
Berger, the leader of the Royalist. party
under Charles X, had an aquline nose.
The Duke de Broglie had terrible nose Of
this sort.
M. Theirs had majestic aquiline nose.
NM. Lucien Brun and Baudry d'Asson,
the great orators Of the Legitimist party, have
such noses, Gambetta had such a nose !;
and the nose of Prince Napoleon is
like unto an eagles beak In fact it is dan
gerously Misunderstanding to ambition, and
force OF character to pursue ambitious designs.
M. Clemenceau, the orator said, has a some
what flat nose, although he is at present a
great politician, but ''that nose" continued the
speaker, Twill certainly prevent Mr.. Clemen-
ceau from ever achieving any great success in
the future"
In order to be really great statesman or
politician, one must have an aquiline nose,
according to M. Poincelet.

Efforts Made to Avoid COntagiOn.
Three deaths are recorded from smallpox.
The remaining three cases are being well
treated, and hopes are entertained of their re-
covery. They are under the care of Sisters,
who are trained nurses, and who have already
had the disease. The houses in which they are
cared for is guarded, and they are not permitted
TO leave, provision and other necessities being
taken in the places and left there; i'm fact every
thing that can be done for the comfort of the
patient and to prevent cOntagiOn is being done.
There is no doubt but that the disease has been
brought here by discharged soldier and his
daughter, who arrived here few days ago from
New Mexico, on the international train. The
hotel runner who met them, the clerk who re-
ceived them, the walters who attended to them
have all been struck down with the disease,
and the soldiers daughter died yesterday at
Moore's Hollow, where she was left by her
father.
The physicians see no reason for any alarm,
and they believe that the prompt steps taken
to counterfeit infection will be successful in
preventing anything like an epidemic.

From the Hillsboro Mirror.
Mr.. E. T. Maddox and Miss Ioda Weelev
were married in the county judges Office, at
the court house, on Tuesday last. The par
ties hail from Ash Creek settlement When
application was made for a marriage license.
II was refused on account of the youthful
appearance of the bride, but her father and
sisters being present. and stating that they
were willing to the marriage, the license
was issued, the father making oath
that his daughter would be fifteen next
month. Judge Parham, Judge Harrison and
Rev. MIR. Priddy declined to perform the cere-
mony, whereupon Rev. G. w. Swofford was
called upon, who made the man and child
husband and wife. Judge Parham remarked
that he would willingly marry men and women.
but when 1t came to marrying babies he was
out. The bride is mere child, apparently
ten or twelve years old, small in stature and
weighed about sixty pounds. The opinion of
all who saw the baby bride is that it was an
outrage to permit the marriage, although the
law was complied with,
