OUR AMERICAN NIGHTINGALE.

Recording the triumph of Miss Sybil
Sandcr'on the other evening our Paris
correspondent laid particular stress on a
phenomenal musical achievement, says
the New York Herald. In sem
sational cadenza the young diva accom-
plishcd the almost unparalleled feat of
singing and holding the upper G, or G
in alt, rs it is sometimes called.
What this means no musician will
need telling. For the benefit of the
non musical few comparisons may lie
permitted.
Only one singer, Lucrczia Ajugari, at
the moment occurs 10 us who has out
distanccd the young Californian. Mo-
Fart assures us that while on a visit to
Parma in 1770 he heard Lucrcz;a Aiu-
gari actually sing three tones higher th,n
Miss saudersons famous upper G., while
she was able, without difficulty, to trill
on in alt.
In her prime, by an effort, Christine
Nilsson could take the upper G. 1t
was the GROWING success of her work
in "Dic Zaubcrilotc." Yielding to the
advice of Rossini, however, she soon
dcsis:cd from straining her voice, and
usually make no attempt to go higher
than + in alt. In one respect, there
fore, Miss Sandcrson has surpassed
Patti.
AS to the exact range of the American
prima donna's voice we arc still in the
dark, but that it is extraordinary seems
to be admitted. Artistcally, of course,
the value of high notes is only relative.
Style, tone, volume, feeling, are Tic
great vocal qualities.
That the fair Californian has all these
VIC know from NJ. NIasscnct, and having
them her voice must be as exquisite as
it is unique.

The PcOpIc of Buru,ah

Bnrmah has altogether population of
live millions. The majority of these
are the Burmese, and they are differ
cnt people than any have yet seen.
The women are beautiful and the men
are straight, proul and fine looking.
They have olive brown compilations,
straight eyes of dark brown, fat noses
and lips little thicker than those of
the average Caucasian. They have no
bcarls, but in some cases have downy
mustaches of black. Their hair is let
black and they wear it long, rolling it
up in a bright rcd or yellow handkcr-
chief, and wrapping this around the
head SO that it stands up for all tho
world like the bandanna of the black
auntie of slavery days. They wear a
white linen or cotton jacket, which
reaches little below the waist, and be-
low this shines out The bright silk or
cotton cloth which is wound tightly
about the body and is twisted in to kot
ut the front so that its folds hang down
between the legs. The women dress in
much the same way-their skirt being
the American pullback rcverscd-bind-
ing the limbs tightly and falling to tho
ground about their feet. The women wear
nothing on their heads, and both sexes
go barcfootcd. Both men and women
pierce their cans, and the men tattoo
their bodies from the waist to below the
knees.

There is curiosity up town for the

what appears to be lace is human hair.

friends. He married Miss Bright in
1885 and soon after they removed to
New York, where they resided until
Mr.. Barnett's failing health compelled
them to turn southwark, but the
mildness of our Southern winters and
medical skill proved unavailing.
As he had lived, in honor and good
feeling with all men, so was his death,
in peace, with faith and hope in a
bright eternity with his God.
Mr.. Barnett leaves many friends to
mourn his early death, and who ex-
tend their most heartfelt sympathy 10
