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.
Re li known, then, to all that I protest In the
moat Bolemu and categorical manner. I de
clare all that baa been done or la about beiog
done null aud void. I menu to keep intact my
rights, of which I cannot be dUpossoaaed by
men who lay claim to powora wbloh nobodv
but tbe Hplrlt cf Darkness, which directs their
acta, oouia corner upon them.
Every one la not &vare ho they have been
able to reduce nnbuppy Spain to tho cud condi
tion lu whloh she is t preaent. Tbankalotbe
turunltuouH crloa which proclaimed "a uuivar.
ral and toveiekun will," they have been enabled
to subatltuie far tiie supreme power of the
ioverfrttm united with the Cortes the mout
ancient and tbe moat legitimate publio right In
f pain theory as Impossible lu practice aa it
ladtotpiive In appearance.
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.
