A number of immaculate young gentlemen, in tight fitting even ing dress,, were reaching over their shirt collars to got a glimpse of the notorious Maranu, There was an nnintermittent buzz o? talk that made it difficult to bear anything that was said. The la dies were numerous and brilliantly dressed, but many of them looked a little uneasy, aa if they suspected they were assisting at a somewhat hazardous enterprise. The prima donna wore on her breast a locket set with diamonds that had belonged to her mother. "Say, Witman," said one of the young gentlemen above mentioned to another, "did yon notice the locket?" "Haven't been able to get up to her yet, confound itl Does she speitk En glish'" "Pretty well, I believe; I spoke French with her. Full of the devil!"

Mr. Barclyffe, the amatienr composer, eontribnted au oVle article tu a leading journal, in which he attempted to us sijn Mile. Marana her place among the great singer of the lust forty years. "To the culture, the vivueity. And the subtlety of tbo present," lie wrote, "our Russian guest unites the truining, tlie knowledge, and the solidity of tbe post. Rooted in the soil of tli best traditions of her predecessors, tbe flower of her genius blossoms in the new sunshine of today. The grandeur aud digtiity of her method are vivified aud sweetened by rare personal charms of manner, aud by that seeming artlessuess of execu tion which is tho finest triumph 4nrt. Her nppeariuice among us is another proof, not only of the reputation which wepf the western world have attained of being tli.- fiimi fribituiil in matters of musical last and judgment, but of the great fact that real genius is always nnique. 4'M114.
