Within the past three weeks, the
four great song-birds Patti, Gerster,
Nilsson and Sembrich, have catered
to the music-loving people of this
city, and at every performance they
were greeted by fashionable and en-
thusiastic audiences. The two form
err have been under the management
Of Col. Mapleson at Nc Vicker's,
while the two latter have praced the
boards at Hayerlys, under the super
vision Of Abbey. For the first time
in their lives the four have been
sheltered under one roof the Grand
Pacific The phrase "Hhey come
high, but we must have them" can
well be applied to the above quartet
Report has it that Patti gets IS, 900
for every performance she takes part
in, while Gerster gets about half that
sum. Add to the above items the
enormous expenses for advertising
mounting, salaries of sabordinates,
etc, and it is no wonder that the
prices Of admission are so high.
Choice seats were scarce at $500
apiece. The expense of one even
ing's entertainment at the opera in
company with mans family, is
enough To draw tears to the eyes Of
even a Chicago pork packer. 1t is
needless to say anything about the
success Of the different artists, for
bottle press and public have lauded
them to the skies.
Patti, who is the divorced wife Of
the Marquis DeCaux, was acoompan-
led, as usual, by the stately tenor,
Nicolini, who, if reports are correct
has a wife and seven children in sun
my Italy. He vas very devoted
toward the little prima donna, and
her almost constant companion.
Gerster is the wife Of black-whis-
kered Italian Count, DIR. Gardini, q
man Of some education and position,
owning q fine estate at q place called
! Sasso, about twenty miles from Bo
I logna on the side Of the Apprentices.
/ During the of months the DR.. and
! Gorster (who are said to be truly
married), dwell in their luxurious
i villa, which is said to be charming
spot. Sembrich was accompanied
by her husband, Q rather diminutlve
German by the name of Stengel,
who was formerly her teacher. Nil
son goes into society in half-mourn-
ling. Ilel husband lost her money
in stocks, went crazy with grief and
died. Should anyone mention her
husband, to whom she was sincerely
attached, she says: "Don't speak Of

time and care in seeking purchasers

the bonds could have been placed at
4 per cent. instead Of five. 1t is in
timated by the Jou17aai that the
Public Land Commissioners would
have taken the bonds at Z per cent,
had they been advised that the Sc
cufities were obtainable. Possibly
this is an oyerdrawn statements, but
that the commissioners would have
taken the bonds on much better

Milwaukee 7elegraph:' Seventeen
years ago this month the Wisconsin
Legislature passed to Senator
Doolittle the same kind of dish
that the Virginia Legislature recently
placed before Senator Malone,
namely, resolution asking him to
resign. Mr.. Doolittle did not ac-
cept the invitation General Ma
hone is likely to initiate his example.
1t is interesting to recall that within
ten minutes from the time the reso-
luton was introduced at Madison,
in 1867, no less than three members
of the Legislature were on the floor
canvassing for votes to aid in max
ing them Mr.. Dolittle's successor.
The republicans wanted Doolittle
out of the senate because he had
Johnsonized, and the democrats want
Malone to vacate because he has
joined the republicans in an effort,
he says, to render it less difficult Tor
the colored population of the south
to exercise the rights Of citizenship,
to perfect arrangements by which
their votes shall be honestly counted,
and to see if some plan cannot be
adopted by which the system of It's
sue ballots can be done away with

A telegram of the 22d inst, from the
arctic regions says:
The contest in the twelfth legislative
district of Dakota (Pembina county,,
between Hon. Judson LaMoure and Mr..
Wilson, of Bsthgate. was settled this
afternoon in favor of LaMoure.
1t is stated that the returning board
threw out some of the towns which gave
Mr.. Wilson majorities, +, r alleged ire
gularitles. The contest for the seat will
probably be carried into the legislature.
e. A. Henderson, as chief clerk of the
last council, will make up the roll of the
next council and the man who gets hie
name on the roll will probably hold the
seat during considerable portion of the
session. 1t has been habit in Dakota
legislatures to leave contests unsettled
until along towards the close of the ses-
sion and the party to the contest who
has the favor of the clerk is liable to be
given many opportunities to answer on
the call Of the roll.
From the eleventh district, which
1oins the twelfth on the south. there
will also be a contest brought before the
legislative body. The attorneys of DR..
Collins and L. q. Anderson, in the case
against George h. Walsh and Dr.

the election: the charges referring to the

alleged to have been counted. It charges

A. Sheridan Jones. member-elect OF
the council from this district, says in his
paper. the Olivet Rural Voice:
How shall Dakota obtain division and
admission? This is question which is
left to the people Of the territory,
through their representatives in the
Legislature, to decide for themselves;
since it cannot be expected that nation
with democratic head, will take the in
itiative step toward the admission Of
new state, which, owing to its strongly
entrenched position in the republican
party, will very likely hold the balance
of power in the next presidential election
and by using this power turns the reins
Of government back to the old republi.
can party. Yes, the initiative step must
be taken right at home. To

Washington letter: Gov. Ordway is
living at his old home, 112 East Capitol
street. He will spend the winter here
on account of his daughters ill health,
but he stills keeps his citizenship in
Dakota and will spend his summers
there. He will 60 to Bismarck in few
days to attend to his interests there. A
Dakota gentleman now hcre had this TO
say about Ordway when I made some
inquiries in regard to his plans:
"The governor regards his life in Da.
kota with more pride than might seem
compatible with the circumstances. He
points to the erection of eleven public
buildings, territorial debt of less than
$5O0,0O0. fourfold increase of popula-
tion during his term. and, what evident
~ gives him more pleasure than all the
rest, to the redemption of Dakota's
credit by the decision in the Yankton
bond cases. The political aud personal
attacks on him he bears with good grace,
and, really, the fact is that they do him
more good than harm in the east. Here
in Washington. for instance, I don't
know but that Ordway is looked upon as
good deal cleaner than the men who
abuse him. The fact ie, We have sent go
many delegations down here and
told many boom lies, that we are all
in about the status implied in the Irish
idea of equal rights:
"Pat." SAID Mike, ''av ye plase. answer
me this quischun. Is one man as good
as anothsr?" "Yes, Nike" and id
sight better"
Ordway Is disliked here as much for
his old association with Bill Chandler
and E. b. Rollins as anything.
"By the way" said my friend, "do you
know that Ordway is going to catch hold
of the land business now when every.
body else is laid out flst by it.? He has
