One of the leading ladies of Washing
ton society came across from Europe
with Patti, and during the voyage be-
came quite intimate with her. She saws
that Patti will never sing until she is
assured of her money beforehand, and
that in most cases Nicolini goes out be-
fore the curtain is rung up aud brings
i'll the certified check for $1,000 or the
cash. During one of her engagements
in America NicOlini came to the dress
ing room with check in his hand, and
told Patti that the manager had been
able to raise only $500, but that he
would give her this amount and would
assure her that the remainder would be
paid as soon as the performance was
over. Madame Patti was sitting in her
dressing room, and she had gotten down
to the putting on of her slippers. She
Strengthened up as NicOlini spoke, and
said cOollY:
ssThat will not do. Take the check
back to the manager and tell him that
Madame Patti is in her dressing room
and that she has one slipper on. She
will not put on the other until she re-
ceiyes the full amount of $1,000. and if
there is no money there will be no
song" The audience was waiting, it
was time for the curtain to rise, and it
is needless to say that Patti got her
money.

could see that they related to the funeral
of jefferson Davis. He seemed much
affected by them. He was rereading
them, and he had evidently reread
them a number of times since the ex-
president of the Confederacy died. As
he sat and thought. his hands went
faster and slower in the pulling of that
piece of red tape from one side of the
desk to the other, and now aud then he
would stop and fold the string carefully,
one fold on top of the other, as he pom
Gered. 1t was Senator Reagan, of
Texas, the greatest of the living eX-
members of the Confederate cabinet.
He was thinking of how Davis APP
pointed him postmaster general when
he was still in Texas, and his mind, L
doubt not, was travelling through the
stormy times at Richmond, when he
and Davis worked and cOunseled to-

I understand that Secretary Allen. of
the Corean Iega ton. is one of the lead
ing applicants for the position of Amer
lea minister to Corea. This mission is
now held by Hugh A. Dinsmore, a
bright young lawyer of Arkansas, vino
was appointed at the instance of eX-
Attorney General Garland. He is a
close friend of the king, and is an able
man. The COrean minister's salary is
$500 a year. and our minister to Korea
has a house furnished him by the gov
eminent. This country is one of the
few where we own our own quarters;
and the establishment consists of a
number of One-story houses. beautifully
finished, and fully as comfortable as
any house in America. There is very
pleasant foreign colony; the climate is
good. aud the mission to Korea is as
pleasant as any of the Eastern missions.
Admiral Shufeldt, who negotiated the
first treaty with COrea, and who has
lived in the country, tells me that he
would rather be minister to Corea than
minister to China, and the c Dream min
lister is certainly better treated by the
king and nobility.
