The Musical World, which by the way,
Is very choice magazine full of every
kind of news, and of information concern
ing musical matters, as well as containing
the latest new music, says that Mapleson
has been speaking disparagingly of Chris
tine Nilsson's artistic reputation and abili-
ty, (since she signed contract to sing with
Abbey's Company and has used that COM
monest final insinuation that she has a
temper, whereupon Nilsson retorts that the
title of Colonel, which he always uses is as
genuine as $4,000 others like him in Eng
land, whose martial exploits have been
confined to bar-rooms and club-houses and
wars with actresses. The lady appears to
be ahead.

A Tumbler Under the Hat.

A writer on the inner life of the House
OF Commons says: mo member likes to
be seen bringing in glass of water at
some indefinite time before his speech.
Things may turn up SO that he finds no
opportunity to speak and to be left with
superfiuous glass of water in such cir
cumstances is a little ludicrous. Still
to most speakers the refreshment is i'm
dispensable, and the usual course taken
Is to depend upon the courtesy of gem
tlemen sitting near You to go and bring
the water while you are on your legs.
II Mr.. Ashmead- Bartlett, brother-in-law
OF the Baroness, is observed entering the
House with his hat carefully balanced
in his hand, the initiated we'll know
what is to the fore. He has got q tum-
bier of water in his hat, and this he Sc
cretes under the bench before him when
he intends to speak. Sometimes, il the
Grafton is to be long. he repeats this
maneuver, and once disclosed the exist
ence of three several tumblers under
the bench before him. The other night
he threw himself on the charity Of the
Irish members near whom he sat, and
one of them brought in large tumbler
of liquid which, il it was simply water,
justified all the hard things Major Frank

Maggie leading the way to the spot
where she found the precious stone. As
they passed the mouth Of the pit. the
scene of their fruitless labors, Flynn
stopped to get shovel. The others fol-
lowed his example, carrying with them
the implements they had cast downin a
hopeless way the night previous. They
set to work silently, being too much ex-
cited to speak. If disappointment await

told them they had 'sstruck it, at last.
They paused, looked at each other for q
moment, then the hills echoed and re-
echoed with the shout of triumph that
burst simultaneously from their line.
They returned to camp, Flynn carry
ing Maggie on his shoulder, Just as Bag
ley appeared in sight with q bag Of
provisions on his back. In a few words
he explained how before daylight he had
started for Kiwanna to beg food for the
woman and her children. After q hasty
dinner some of the men went to select a
pleasant spot in which to lay tho 70
mains OF their comrade, and Flynn set
out for town TO make arrangements
about having the camp supplied with
provisions.
Several hours later he returned in HIGH
spirits and related how he had encoun-
tered Skinner in tavern and demanded
the return of the horse, watch and pis-
tol that had been intrusted to him. He
clustered and swore awhile and finally
agreed to sell his claim for the articles
he had already appropriated to his own
use. Flynn did not apprise him of the
lucky turn Of fortunes wheel, but took
precautions to have the exchange legally
drawn up.
HE played ns mean trick con-
cluded Flynn, "butI got the best of him,
and now l propose to transfer his share
to the orphans and widow of our old
friend.
No dissenting voice was raised against
the proposition; furthermore. they all
declared that Maggie should henceforth
be called the ward of the Eureka Min
ing Company.
The next day 81 was buried, and
week later, when the success of the mine
had become an established fact, Mrs.
Reed and her children were taken back
to Sacramento. The change of fortune,
coupled with the death of her husband,
proved too much for the poor woman,
and the two orphans became the actual
wards of the Eureka Mining Company.
