Madame observation-disclosures del
Grillo-has come to this country to act
in English. She has been here twice
before-first in 1867, and again in 1874.
During the latter visit she occasionally
played the walking scene Of Lady
Macbeth, and spoke English in 1t. The
words were few, but the favor which
her English attempt received resolved
her to study the language. She has
since played In London, and the Lon
doners praised her English For sever
al years past she has been living pri-
vately In her houses In Rome, Paris d
London, playing only occasionally for
charitable objects. Probably she grew
tired of herself in idleness; probably
she wanted to see America again. At
any rate she is here safe, with her hus-
band, marquis del Grillo, her daughter,
Blanca, her son George, two maids, a
secretary and servant. She was re-
ceivsd from the ship st. Germain by
thirty gentlemen VINO went to meet her
on the yacht Blackbird, which bore
Patti, Lucca, Langtry, Nilsson ard
Irving to our hospitable shores. There
were no representatives of modern
dudeism among the committee of re-
ception, and only few old style Ital-
ian dandies. 1t was not a young wo-
man they were receiving and the dudes
had no interest or business there. 1t is
stated that Nine. Ristori is in good
condition and looks twenty years
younger than was expected. She pre-
fers conversing in French or Italian,
because those languages come handler
to her tongue than English. Signorita
Blanca speaks English like born and
bred Londoner, and is very useful to
the marchIoness as an interpreter
Ristori made her study Of English from
Shakespeare, and her English repertoire
consists of MARY Stuart, Marie An.
toinette," "Queen Elizabeth" and
Macbeth" She paid America the
usual compliments on landing, and will
open her season in Philadelphia on the
10th inst. She steered clear of the
presidential election, which was good
policy in her American managers.

The pront and wealth OF the cattle
business may be realized in figuring mp
the value Of the Texas drive this year,
estimated at frUm $4,000 to 100000.
At the small estimate Of SO per head,
there is Sl0,OOo,OO0 as the iucome OF
Texas stock owners for one year from
that branch IF their business only.
Farmers need very much to realize this
fact, which has more than usual force
when tn: wheat crop now harvesting
promises than 10000, 900 bushels,
and IS cents bushel seems to be a
possible price. The most money made
on farms henceforth will be made by

should receive a title is from an English
point of view, eminently proper. With
the title that he has actually chosen,
however, there has been some disap-
pointment. 1t was supposed that he
would be simply Lord T%ennyson, but it
appears thai he vans to call himself
Lord Tennyson-D'Eyncourt OF Aldworth
thus parting his name in the middle
and associating himself with his utterly
u%ninteresting country home, Ald"orth;
D'Eyncourt is an extremely poetlcal
name, but what has ii to do with Ten
nvson. It reminds one of Smith-Beau-
champ, or Brown-Montague. Had
Dickens been made a baron he would
hardly have called himself Lord Dick
ens-De Belville of Gadshill, nor would
Victor Hugo be anxious to be known as
Barn Observation-Disclosures Of %Sousna7e,
however Enthusiastically English he
might consider such Il title
Tennyson might readily have made
I'D an attractive title by looking over his
own volumes of poetry. If he would
insist upon parting his name in the mid
die he might have calred himself Lord
Tennyson-Vere de We're of Locksley
Hall. Much shipper and more attract
i've would have been the title Lord len
nyson of the Moated Grange, or Tenny-
SIN of the Palace OF Art. Or he might
have dropped the Tennyson altogether
and STYLED himself Baron Merlin, or
Baron Waterproof of the Cock, OF Baron
Enoch of Arden, or Baron Ga.allaa Of
Audley Court. Had he written to, VAS
sur College for Suggestions he would
have received by return of mail a scor's
Of utterly precious titles. AS Lord Ten

decidedly o~ver-sparred in point Of title,
and his future poetry will not command
