Mrs. Gulbrsudsen is her beautiful ar
tistic moderation. Even in the high
est glow of passion she offers only
genuine musical singing, she never
falls into naturalistic screaming"
B. Bjornson and his daughter, Mrs.
Bergliot Ibsen, will give series of lit
erary entertainments, or soirees, in Co.
penhagen. The former will read some
of his own TRANSACTIONS of Victor Hu-

Out Of the 81 electors which have al
ready been elected from Nordland
Amt, 4S are liberals and 6 conserva-
tives. The liberals will doubtless carry
this amt, as they did 1T the last cleo
tons.
Mr.. Astrup, councillor Of state and
member OF the sterthing, has admins
tered a mild rebuke to the leaders of
the liberal party. The liberals of his
district (Christiansund) have proposed
to renominate him for storthingsman
on condition that he pledge his support
to the leadership of the liberal party.
10 this he answers that he cannot con-
scientiously pledge himself to the fol-
lowing of the liberal leaders because
they have made too many blunders in
the past, and that lie will not be can
didate unless he be allowed to act &C.
cording to his own convictions.
Christiania, Aug. 25.-The result of
the elections in Finmarken so far>is the
election Of IL conservatives and IL lib
erals. In the two remaining election
precincts, 6 conservatives and iher-
ais were returned at the last election.

The cattle-and the people, too, for
that matter-have been greatly troub-
led by wasps in the latter part of the
summer. The insects are small in size,
but they are so abundant that it seems
as though there were "a wasp's nest in
every other hillock." The trouble ex-
tends over the most part of the coun-
try.

Georg Brandes has written psyche
logical account of his sufferings during
his late sickness. It is a purely clas-
steal production, and its correctness
makes the flesh of the reader creep. It
reminds one of Guy Maupassant; but
the pessimism of Brandes is not so
black and utterly desperate as that Of
the lunatic Frenchman.
