devotion for a good woman who had a
mean husband and an unhappy home. She
once told me that the noblest thing in all
the world was good mother and a true
wife. could relate several instances of
how this charming woman of the world
used TO so and sit by the bedside OF min
ers in their rude cabins when they were
very Ill or dying. She was nothing of a
nurse, but she did what she could to cheer
the poor fellows lonely hours by her pres
ence and the singing OF a ballad. The
fact that the miners were dying thous-
ands of miles from their old homes, and
that there were sisters and mothers back
in the eastern states who would have
given almost anything to be where she
was to help the sick and dying, appealed
to her powerfully. She gave generously
from her purse whenever the hat was
passed to bury a miner. for good collins
used to cost several times as much in
the mining towns in the Sierras as any
where else.
Along in 1856 the countess money was
running low. The nephews of Victor Hugo

men were tired OF the salon, All the songs

musical instruments had become well

told. a humorous or pathetic recitation to
be made, and no original jokes remained
to be cracked. The countess plainly was
restless to return to her former life Of
gayety, and the letters she had alwaye
received from admirers In Paris and Lon-
don gave her reason to believe she might
be a favoriteein Europe again. A letter
from a friend urged her to come to Mel
