The claim made by the managers of the
American Opera Company, that they must
depend upon foreign singers for the leading
parts until American girls are trained to the
requirements of the newly established school
of opera, established in New York, is matter
of amusement to Mrs. Lucy Hooper, the
well-known Paris correspondent Mrs. Hooper,
whose acquaintance with Americans in
Europe, and particularly with American
singers and students, is extensive, points out
that there are prime donne of American
origin who might have been engaged for it,
and that numbers of American girls who have
been under the training of the best
French and italian teachers are admi-
rably fitted for minor parts. The
most brilliant singers among these, she
says, have striven to obtain engagements
with the American troupe, but German and

which is supposed to be of native origin, but
in this she seems to be mistaken. A New

A View soas. Up Mont nIase'


Two members Of the Geneva section
OF the Swiss Alpine Club have lately
assembled Mont Blanc by little-used
way. They left the village Of Houchss
early in the morning, and by night
reached the hut Of Aiguille de Coulter,
where they staid few hours. At 3:l5
next morning they left the hut and
reached the summit Of the mountain
without difficulty by o'clock. The
view is said TO have been OBJ
scured by 9 sea Of cloud, but several
peaks. of the MontBlanc chain were
visible, and beyond them rose Grand
Pkradis, Monte Rosa, Mount Cervin
(Mstterhornl, &c. There was violent
wind, and the cold was intense, SO that
wire, though well protected, frozs in
the bottles. Though the two noun
taineers, with their skilful guide, were
enveloped in fog during the descent,
they reached Grand Mulet in safety at
Has. The tourists strongly recon.
mend this route, which, though seldom
taken, is shorter and less laborious
than the rest. The long way over the
great plateau near Dome du Coulter is
avoided.

The Salvation Army tu india.


The peculiar-lookiug people who have
attracted attention in the streets Of the
city for the past two days are Hindoo
members of the Salvation Army, who
are soon to return to India, where they
are laboring in the cause. The party
comprises an Englishman named Payn-
ter, who was formerlya wine merchant
Of Oxford, but who is now divisional
officer of the Armysin Gujur.t, under
the title of Major Jsi Bhai; Mizza Maui
roz Ali, a sand Mshometan from Pun
isub; Captain Marian Daz, q converted
high-caste Hindoo, and Sergeant Marsl
Gopal, who was q weaver by trade.
The latter is of small stature and has
his head closely shaver, with the e1-
ception Of q tuft which stands erect.
At the meetings, which have been
crowded on account Of the visitors, the
latter individual beats a tom-tom aud
sings in his own language. The mis-
sionary who accompanies them states
that upon the entrance OF the army
into India the members wore bright
red Jerseys, which led the natives to
look upon them as high dignitaries.
The highly.colored dress hsd to be
abandoned, and the SalvatioEists dressed
in rags, andin their mode Of life ini-
tstsd as closely as possible the people
whom they were attempting to convert.
Flattering results were reported Of the
work in India.
