THE DAILY B jr NG TELEGRAPH PHPjADKLPHIA, MONDAY, MAKCII 1, 186jh - "g Minnie llauck. A New York paper, referring to ft ridiculous tvagraphy of Mies Minnie llauok which re ysUy 'tppened In lia rrla Figaro, gives feat professes to bo an authentic htatory of , ffe young American oantatrioe, who baa re cently appeared with much euooesa in London d Tarlt: . v- Hunohaueen, in his most brilliant hour, ,MTir retailed a wilder fabrication. It will be remembered that, after sketching the child hood of Mirrole as that of a prodigy, it tells of her Esther's going oat to Kansas, where he bad , a neighbor, Mr. Leonard Jereine, a Jiorthern man (rather I) That the Indians pelmet Mr. Jerome, laid him across ft railway, ' track, and how Minnie rushed among them ' and rescued the Northern man by dragging h m from tbe track Just as the approaouiog train was abont to oat him np into very small Sleoei. Aid all this she did with her own fair and, stabbing the Indians with her angry , eyes. Then it told of Mr. Jerome's gratitude, f Minni becoming his protg, and of his building a theatre lor her, and so on, swelling ' out the little romance charmingly. The rail xoad scene in Afltr Dark, whioh he had heard f, no doubt suggested to the ton a-liner this romance for Miuuie. We hope, if good can come out of this kind f thing, that Miss Hauck has felt the benefit of the tale in the quickened sympathies of her Parisian audiences. Whether the Figaro will accept the correct Tersion or not, we are tempted to give our readers the benefit of a brief sketch of the true history of the young tantatrlue. . Minnie Hanck was born in this city; we won't say when, we never suggest the age of an unmarried lady; suffice it to say that Min me "0UIIfc" an hlooming. When she was about six jeari P.2, "areola moved to Providence, Rhode I".aud, where tliey1 Viiol for seyeral years, then returned to New York. Owing to a misfortune on their return jour ney, they lost all the gooda they had with them, arriving in the city very poor indeed. Mr. llauck went bravely to work at his trade of upholsterirjg, "saving all earnings to the uttermost," and ultimately getting enough money together to take his family to Kansas, then a territory, and towards which the tide of emigration had set in strongly. Here they remained but two years, aa the "health of Mr. llauck gave way rapidly, the climate being uncongenial. Before leav ing Kansas, however, Minnie gave evidence of remarkable musical talent, and becoming the Jet of musical frienda there, received her first essonB from them. Up to this time she did not know a single note of music, yet Sing readily every air sung in her pieaence. From Kansas the Haueks moved to New Or leans, where Mr. lUuok readily found em ployment, Cue day while Bitting singing at her father's door, Minnie was aooosted by a gentleman named Cuerto, who waa charmed by her sweet voice, and who, having made himself known to her father, offered to be come her teacher. The oiler was gladly ac cepted, and Minnie, for the first time, began to study vocal music scientifically. She soon began to sing ii church, where her voice at tracted much attention, hue was then abont rteen years old. Her appreciative friends up two concerts for her, which were admi rably successful, and whloh enabled Minnie to help her good parents in their struggles in her own behalf. Advised by those who re cognized Minnie's talent, Mr. Ilanok con cluded to return to New York once more, Where it was believed that Minnie would have better field and where she might possibly obtain ft position in the opera. . lie brought letters of recommendation to Max Maretzek, to whom he presented , them, and with them his young daughter, liy M. Maretzek she waa introduced to Sicnor Errani, the well- known tenor and aooomplished teaoher, who at once took upon himself the task of edu cating the young lady, and did bo with all the enthusiasm of his kindly nature. Had she been his own daughter he could not have been more deveted to her, more ambitious of her success. She studied hard, her father work ing persistently at hia trade to sustain the family. After a year'a study, Minnie was fortunate enough to make the aoquaintanoe of Mr. Beguin, at whose residenoe she took a leading part in some pleasant entertain ments, gotton np mainly on her account. At one of these her singing and artless manner stirred the admiration of Mr. Leonard Jerome, and prompted him to aid the charming song Stress in her studies. He thus became her patron, charmed by her sweet voioe, not out of gratitude for the resoue of his life from the belliooae Indians, and a worse railway train, as the Figaro Munchausen had it. Up to this time SIgnor Errani had taught his fair pupil earnestly, seeking no compensa tion beyond the pleasure he took in hia good work and the reward he reoeived in the daily promise of the fulfilment of his brightest copes for hia young pupil. Soon after this Minnie made her ddbut as "Linda," in Mr. Jerome's theatre, upon which oocasion she Wore the valuable diamonds of Mrs. Jerome, which that good lady loaned her. They were worth 1100,000, and as Minnie sang her best, her iibut may very properly be said to have been a brilliant one. Mr. Jerome, with whom Minnie was a spe cial favorite, gave further evidence of hia ap preciation of her talents, and of his desire to see it recognized, inviting her te a reoeption t his house, when he presented her with a OBtly gold watch set with diamonds. With such a devoted friend , and teaoher as Errani, with suoh patrons, aud with the heavenly gift of her sweet voice, could Minnie fail T How she has won upon the publio sinoe then ia too well known to need rehearsal Here Snflioe it to say. that while we have succeeded in disposing of the terrlflo in her history, as told in tbe Figaro, it has taen our pleasant task to renlace it bv a simple, truthful story of the atrnireles of an honest worklngman, to whom God cave a ohild of genius to bless him and . ' , , 1 ... ... 1. f.l 3 reward aim ior nu nonest airuggio wim u varsitr. and one whom we shall never doubt, wtilla rememberinz the faithful father, will .tlierifth a life-Ions gratitude for her friend and teaoher, Errani, and for her generous patrons the Jerome family. ' The Wealth of Spanish Churches. In an artiole on this subject, the Echo says "The Spanish ohurches oontaln more weight in gold, Bilver, and jewels than all the other cathedrals of Europe. Vast riches, in gold mnA silver lnzota and precious stones, were WMicht into BDain after the Mexican war, in tha time of Hernando Cortez, and-though some of them, were stolen by the Frenoh during the Peninsular war, an immense quantity still re ,.1t. In the Cathedral of Largos, which is not the richest in gold and gemB, the principal statue of the Virgin wears a jeweuea crown and before It lamps of massive silver are hnrnintr. The saorifltr oontains name T,rltlv vestments embroidered in gold mA TMi-ia. white curs, vases, salvers, and ...Vat atmided with coins adorn the shelves .. MMirdotal storehouse. The little Waok wooden image of the Virgin in the Church of Atocha, near Madrid, has a rioher .nka Mian that nostttssed bv any queen. and jewels of immense valne. It has a oro wn of diamonds, presented by Isabella H, neoklaoes, kuwoleti, and other ornaiaeuti in great quaa- ((..''. till s. Its gorgf ons mantles so eovered with embroidery in gold and pear la that the velvet is learcely visible fill the Bafea along the sides of the Bacristy, and as the wedding cos tome worn by any member of the royal family is the perquisite of this statue, its wealth haa always been increasing. Among the treasures of the Cathedral of Valencia, and side by side with the first shirt worn by the 'infant Jesus, and 'the skeleton of one of the Holy Inno cents,' is the 'golden oomb of the Virgin. I t is of antique form and workmanship, with .teeth on both sides, and ia richly Jewelled. A beautiful casket in the same cathedral con tains the tanto talix, or cup, uBed by Jesus Christ at the Last Supper. It is of fine onv x, Btuddtd with gems of rare value, has two golden handles, and a stand of the same metal. These treasures are not of great value, but they are of peculiar interest, if only as showing how blind to all probability or inqnlry the Spanish bigotry which reveres them hna become. Ia the saoristry of the splendid Cathedral of To ledoa vast and magnificent saloon, painted by Lno Jordan in the seventeenth century -there are four statues of massive silver, repre senting the four quarters of the world, eaoh figure leaning on a globe. The Custodia, or keepicg-place for the Host, ia more than nine feet high, wrought of massive gold and silver, literally encrusted with diamonds and other very valuable precious stones. Among the ornaments of the Virgin del Sagrario, an image which is much venerated, ia a royal crown of pnre gold, studded with large dia monds and emeralds, with braoelets to mttoh. Biie once possessed a necklaoe of diamond) of almost priceless value, but it was stolen by Mendizibel, during the civil war, and given by him to his mistress.' Her mantles are of gold brocade, embroidered with large pearls, and tbe altar on which she stands is of solid silver. Behind her is an octagonal chapel con taining rioheB, in jewels, crosses, vases, and (statues, that would go far towards the purchase ?' principality. In the cathedral hundreds of priests, appear in robes of gold and silver tissues, and under drnsea of the richest laoe and most costly needlework. The canons wear jewelled oollara of great value, such for value as have never been worn at Rome but npon the person of the Pontiff himself. A list of the treasures of Nuestra Senora de MontEerr, fills a volume. Most of the Koman Cathoi',0 sovereigns of Kct- rope, with countless Tv'mce8 and nobles, have made some offerir to thia doll; but it ia a curious faot th-j,, while cardinals, archbishops, and blshoji have presented oostly robes, lamps, nd jewels, the Popes, with the excep tion, of Adrian VI, who offered a lamp and 200 uucats, have contented themselves with. sending others to the sanctuary, and grant ing them indulgences. In the centre of the prinolpal chapel there are two silver lamps, eaoh of which weighs one hundred and twenty-five pounds, presented by Philip II (of Emiihiieid memory) and Philip IV; a third lamp, exquisitely chased, weighing one hundred and fifty pounds, was given by the Grand Duke of Tuscany, in 1669. A silver ship, weighing one hundred and twenty-five pounds, of most delicate and beau tiful workmanship, was the gift of the Mar -quesa de Castel Rodrigo in 1C82. A lamp, value 600 ducats, wa3 preeented by the Queen of Henry IV of France. All these objects are of pure silver, together with the lront and the five steps of the grand altar; aud besides these treasures there is a throne of the same metal. On high festival days twenty-four candelabra are wheeled out from the saoristy, and stand before the grand altar; all are of solid silver, and twelve of them are five feet high; six sil ver candlesticks, thirty-two iuohes high, are used for the daily service. There are three silver gilt crosses borne in the procession, adorned with jewels, the largest of which weighs one hundred pounds; two rods of sil ver gilt, one with an emerald of great value; twenty-six chalices and nine salvers. But these are nothing when compared with the gems. The image of the Virgin Mary, has three crowns almost covered with dia monds, emeralds, sapphires, and ru bies, presented by different worship pers. One of these crowna was made by a Flemish monk in the convent, who epent twenty-seven years in tbe fabrication of this and a Blmilar one for the image of the in fant Jesus. Nearly as rich in ohnroh treasures is Seville. During the processions of the Holy Week, when all the ohurches send out statues larger than life into the publio streets, an al most incalculable amount of treasure ia dis played. These wooden images are more than royally apparelled, for some oi me veivei robes are twenty feet long, and bo oovered with pearls and gold embroidery that no human being could sustain their weight. One of the mantles ia of dark blue velvet and gold, and was presented by the late Queen of the French, Marie Amelia. Almost the whole figure is dazzling with jewels, and the statues from the principal churches have always a crown of diamonds. Some of the processions go through the streets at night, and on. these occasions the platforms on which the groups of images are borne are lighted with hundreds of silver lamps." ISABELLA. KbeSpeahaat Lait, The Paris Journals a few days back published a manifesto purporting to be addressed by Queen Isabella to the Spanish people, but which waa afterwards deolared to be a forgery. At present tbe real document has made its ap pearance, and Is thus worded: The Cortes illegally convoked, and for tbe moat part elected by violent and fraudulent means, are about to aiisemble on the invitation of four ambitious men, who, having seduced the army and called even orimlnala to their assistance, succeeded In substituting, through the terror they lueplred, their cowardly aud aisastrous tyranny ror the constitution they had nearly all sworn to defend, lor tbe religion, laws, UHBgts, aud cuatoma of tUe country whloh thry reduced to anarchy, and are raining day by day. The moment baa arrived when you. tent le- men, senators, and deputies of the lev.uimate Cortes and toe entire nation the impassive wUnes'-ea of en great a scandal ought to hear mv voice. Tbe heiress of i'elaeiua and St. Ferdinand cannot long regard auch a speoiade without at It ant raising her voice In proteet.

Let ua all nulie, then, to remedy the general anarchy, and let eaoh of na in onr unbares of aci Ion do our beat , In tbe name of Ood, to pre vent the laws from being trampled under foot, bod passions fomented, legitimate right anni hilated, the temples of Jesus Christ over tbiowu. Isabella. The famine bo long dreaded in India haa come at last, and is spreading fast in largely populated districts. The Government is making every effort to relieve distress by fur nishing both food and employment to those who need them. To one native State the sum of 10,000 has bean lent on the security of its i revenues, to be nsed la this way. FFRE AND BURGLAR PROOF SAFE CHAMPION ABATES I ; Philadelphia, January 18,1869. Memrs.
