PATHS Devoted Husband.

Such love and devotion as exists between
Nine. Patti and her husband is seldom
seen on our earth. And Nicolini is by no
means bad looking man, despite his fifty
odd years. He watches over Patti with
the care of doting father Occasionally
he goes down in the kitchen of the hotel
and prepares and cooks for her some fa-
vorite dish. He Is always at her side, and
every wish on her part is at once complied
with. At the opera he looks after her
dresses and jewels, and he is always in the
wings when she is on the stage.
Norton, the manager of the Grand Opera
house in st. Louis, told me that on one oc-
casion when Patti was singing with Maple
son there she made tremendous hit. She
had several recalls, which she accepted
with her customary afiability, and the
house was fairly trembling with the APP
plause of the enraptured audience. As the
smiling and happy diva tripped off the
stage, radiant with triumph, Nicolini, in
an outburst Of loving admiration, dropped
upon his knees and gathered her robes in
his hands and kissed the very hem of them
Then he caught and hugged her in very
delirium. Is IL any wonder that the little
woman should love and cling TO this man ?
Her devotion has been something amazing.

From The Springfield Union.

The PROVIDENCE NEWS has made very
liberal offer to Rhode Island workingmen, and
one that should have excellent practical re-
suits. The plan is outlined as follows:
The News proposes 10 send at its own ex-
pense representative Rhode Island working
man TO Great Britain to report upon the con-
dition Of workingmen there. IL will pay all
his expenses and furnish him with guide
books and all necessary information and as
sistancc in laying out his route. He will start
some time In May, and will have time enough
10 do n great deal of sightseeing besides inves-
tigating huts and novels and tenements.
England and Scotland are so compact that a
great deal of work and play, too, can be
crowded into trip of fairly generous dura-
ton.
The choice Of the man who Is 10 enjoy this
"trip Is left with the readers of the paper. the
only conditions being that he be one who
earns his living by daily labor and Is compe-
tent and willing 20 keep those who have
chosen him 20 represent them informed by
sending an occasional letter TO the NEWS, Civ
ing the results Of hts investigations. The con-
dition Of European workingmen has been de-
scribed frequently, but IL often happens that
reports are biased by the economic views OF
the writer's. and the present plan should re-
suit in a report that workingmen and all
others can depend upon as substantially accu-
rate. The letters on the subject vii be rad

Vegetable Poetry.
Potatoes came from far Virginia.;
Parsley was sent us from Sardinia;
French beans, low growing on the earth,
To distant India trace their birth;
But scarlet runners, gay and tall,
That climb upon the garden wall
A cheerful sight to all around
In South America were found.
The onion travelled here from Spain;
The leek from Switzerland we gain,
Garlic from Sicily obtain,
Spinach in far Syria grows.
Two hundred years ago or more,
Brazil the artichoke sent o'er,
And southern Europe's sea-coast shore
Beet-root on us bestows
When 'Lizabeth was reigning here,
Peas came from Holland and were dear.
The south OF Europe lays its claim
To beans, but some from Egypt came.
The radishes both thin and stout,
Natives of China are, no doubt;
But turnips, carrots, and sea-kale
With celery so crisp and pale,
Are products Of our own fair land.
And cabbages, a goodly tribe.
Which abler pens might well describe
Are also ours understand.

NEWPORT, X. l. Jan. IA, 1882.
Editors OF the Providence Nescs:
Any effort or any undertaking that has for
its object the broadening of the mind and the
exciting of thirst for knowledge, is to be
commended. Travel, more than any other
thing, will accomplish these objects. and the
proposition Of the NEWS to aid some one OF its
readers in the requirement of useful informa-
tion abroad, to be disseminated among the
people of our State upon his return, appears
to be particularly interesting and laudabls.
If the fortunate individual is really fortu-
nate, 1. e., If he is the possessor of an evenly
balanced mind and has sufficient intelligence
TO warrant the belief that he will present i'm
partial and readable pen-pictures of the result
Of his enquiries and observations, then the en-
terprise of the NEWS will surely not be In vain;
1t must be productive Of much good. Icer-
tainly trust that such will be the case.
Believe me, yours faithfully.

ADJUSTMENTS.
KATIE EMMETT

Killarney, an enterely new play in the
west. was produced last night at the
Crawford Grand to . moderate sized
audience by Katie Emmett and a decided
ly strong company Of actors. Miss Emmett
is very attractive artist with many
elements of popularity, but out of regard
for truth it must be said that she is not the
singer or dancer that she is cracked up to
be, to use slang expression. Tho play is
a clean clever Irish production, Astounding
with sentiment and witty sayings and
doings; and unlike the average play repre-
senting Irish life in the last century it has
no blood and thunder in it or none of
those hump backed sneaking Williams for
which Irish plays are noted. The COM
pany is exceptionally strong and four Of
them at least would rank as stars any
where in their respective specialties. The
scenery in the play is owned by the
company and it must be said OF it
that it is very fine and the beautiful scenes
represented caused good deal of admira-
ton. Killarney is the one spot on earth
that battles the skill of the artist. aud it
is not within the scoops OF the painters
brain to improve on the natural beauty of
the justly famous lakes.
Killarney" will be presented tonight
again, and it will be better attended than
last night, if not as well attended As 1t
deserves.
The hurling match was quite realistic,
and it brought back pleasant memories
and perhaps tear to some Of the Irish
boys, both old aud young, who attended
last night. This is an essentially Irish
game, and good one, when thoroughly
understood
