A mystery thnt for n long tlmo has baffled
fletfctlves nnd Is still 11 puzzling nnd pro
found unlgmn , has nlnrmed the Immediate
relativennd friends of Mrs. Mary L. Teem
loy , who resides at Old Mill Green In Hart
ford , Conn. Mrs. Toomloy Is a widow about
thirty -fight years old and still retains much
of her former benuty. She is highly accom-
jillshcd nnd nn excellent crayon artist. Ten
years ago she married Jerome Toomloy , n
young mnn of excellent habits , but who was
unfortunately a local curiosity owing to his
lack of ndiposo tissue. Toomloy could well
liavo pnssod for n living skeleton. As a rule
lie was shunned by his femnlo acquaintances ,
Iiis unprepossessing and ghastly appearance
Bonding a chill of horror down their vertebra
bra- . Notwithstanding Toomluy's withered
physique , hu wooed nnl : succeeded in winning
the prettiest girl among bis ac < | tinlntiini'es.
For n year their connubial relations filled
the measure of thnlr anticipations. At the
expiration of twelve months of hupniness
the husband died suddenly of heart disease
nt exactly ! ! o'clock In the afternoon. While
iu the flesh Toomley often expressed a fear
that he would not live long , and frequently
tried to prevail upon hist wife to resistor a
vow thnt she would never marry ngnln after
his death. Mrs. Toomloy Is positive thai
she did not yield to his pressing solicitation ,
us she considered it merely n whim which
did not domund HO sorluus an obligation.
Ho that as it may , Mrs. Toomley is deeply
perplexed and her many friends are exceed
ingly alarmed over her fate , which circuui-
Btnncesscorn to point toward a future entirely
void of peace and happiness. Whenever Mrs.
Toomloy receives or entertains bur gentle
men friends she experiences a sensation us if
licing urged nwny from her guests , uud no
inntter what hour of the day it may bo , her
watch , the gift of her dead husband , will
point at exactly 11 o'clock , the hour of his
dentil. During tbo pant six months Mrs.
Toomloy has granted Mr. Charles L. Fleni-
inlng , of Sheldon , the privileges of calling on
her. Ono evening nt nbout U10 ; ! the clock on
the mantelpiece struck 3 nnd the hands
pointed to that hour. At the same time Air.
Flemming looked nt his wntch , und , to his
surprise , lie beheld the bunds of his valuable
timepiece indicating thu same hour. Mrs.
Toomley believes that some strange power is
trying to prevent her from ever again enter
ing Into the matrimonial relation , and the
name opinion is entertained by her numerous
friends , who have ocular proof of the mys
terious power that is making Mrs. Toomlcy's
life seriously unpleasant.
Miss Florence E. HafTa , daughter of the
late Judge Haffu , of the federal court ut
Vlcksburg , Miss. , nnd a belle in fashionnblo
society , was recently committed to an insane
osyliun near Hridesbun : , Pn. She hnd been
arrested on the complaint of Dr. Charles N.
Williams , u sou of Justice Williams of the
rcme court of Pennsylvania , whom she
was onpaged to marry. The couple first mot
liero six years ago. Williams was theu n
dashing young student ut the Pennsylvania
University , and Miss Hnffa wus a brown-
eyed , rosy-cheeked beauty of fifteen , occupy
ing n proud social position. On hut second
Visit to bur homo Wlllinms proposed nnd was
ncceptcd , agreeing that the marriage should
tnko place after his graduation. Hy that
iimo , however , ho had changed his plans nnd
coldly said that the marriage could not take
place. Williams then loft the city , but re
turned nbout a year ngo und the young
woman began to haunt his footsteps. She
took her stand before his ofllco door , snying
that she would uot leave until ho hud
leapt his pledge. She remained seven
hours without food or drink.
Her persistency angered Williams
nnd ho hud her arrested. Afterwards she
was released , being suno npparcutly on nil
Other subjects , but ngnln took her stnnd beFore -
Fore bin plnco of business. She wns again
orrostcd an after a hearing was committed to
the asylum , The Hearing was most dramatic.
Miss HalTa's nllliction had uot robbed her of
her beauty , nnd her gentle manner , nddcd to
her exquisite dress nnd modesty , ondstcd
general sympathy. With larcro tears cours
ing down her checks she pleaded with Dr.
Williams not to cast her off , protesting her
love in passionate terms. Her mother , who
lias since married David S. Hoot , the artist ,
substantiated the main points of her story ,
' but Williams was cold us steel. Once she
fed van ceil uud said : "Charles , be n man und
acknowledge that you promised to marry
pie. " "I never made such a promise , " was
bis answer. "You liol" Miss HafTa said ,
quietly adding : "Think of all the misery
3'ou have caused mo. " She offered no resist-
unco to the olllcials Who conducted her to the
cab , but kept her reproachful eyes fastened
pn Williams until the door closed on his
jform.
Rose Mossor , a French woman , aged sixty ,
svas arrested iu Carondolet , a suburb of St.
fjouls , nnd sent to the insane asylum. The
cnso has some features in common
with Amelia Hives' sensational novel.
Mrs. Mcssor came to Carondolet
forty-two years ngo , She married a man
fenmed Forman , nnd lived very happily until
Iio was drowned in n stone quarry pit. After
n few years of this mechanical sort of exist

After a brief courtship they were married.
His nffcetlon for her was said to have been
remarkably otrong. Hut , when , after a short
nbsenco , ho returned to bis bride , she would
liavo nothing to do with him. Slio told n
neighboring woman thnt she regretted hav
ing married him , not hut that ho was un ex
cellent mnn. for whom she hnd unbounded
respect und confidence , but she felt that nho
liad violated n sacred tie which , she main
tained , bound her to her dead husband. Mcs-
cor left her , but has secretly kept u
loving wntch over her ever slnco.
Bho shortly began to interest her neigh
bors with the constant rendition of a story to
the effect that n dark shadow , the exact
Image und llueness of her husband , con

the last bis wife hoard of him was that be

account of the drowning , nnd MM. Lamb ,
thinking ber husband dead , went into

A few months nio the widow accepted nn

to do business man. The wedding was to
take place the coining Tuesday , nnd all nr-

On the Saturday following , to the great
surprlio of tin ; bride , her long lost husband

Watson , u village near JolTortouvllle , Iml.
Nora Haiti Is a girl with u very pretty , fuir
nnd well rounded form who is considered ono

nnd ardent. Among them was n young man
of industrious nml sober habits named John
Alstote. Altohugh not so nttract < vo in either

other admirers , hi ; wan by no means bad look
ing , and endeavored to make up for what bu
might lack in other respects by hu devotion
to the object of bis affections. At llrst lie
was received apparently with the same favor
bestowed on her other suitors , but she dually
grew weary of his persistency , and when hu
nskud her to marry bun , not only refused ,
but most ompbntically told him never to
speak to her ngaln. In a very short tlmo he
renewed bis suit , however , aid last night
visited her at her homo. The young couple
were In the room nt 1 o'clock when Norn
wns heard to exclaim : "Lot uu1 alone , I tell
you ! " The next moment a shot was heard.
Members of the family rushed m and found
Alstoto lyinir on the floor with blood oozinir
from his breast , while Nora Btood a few foot
away in u diued attitude with n smoking

dent. She didn't mean to .shoot me , " John
gasped as he was raised to the sofa , but the
girl said nothing and still refuses any ex
planation of the startling occurrence. Shu
is under arrest. John Is dying.
A queer elopement , that is a source of con
siderable amusement , took place in St. Louis
recently. The family involved is that of
Charles Mark , sr. , a well-known shoo manu
facturer. Ho is the father of two hoys , and
these two boys planted their affections on the
same spot. They became deadly rivals for
the lair hand of Miss Kva Merger. After a
hot campaign Cburles , the older , routed bis
brother and last May bo married Miss Her-
KCr. After that event Albert couldn't stand
St. Louis , so ho sought , relief in Arkansas ,
where ho represented his father's business.

bis brother's wife revived the feelings which
be had tried for mouths to suppress. Albert
had been homo only n few days when the
husband found a note in his room stating
that his wife hnd eloped with bis younger

The pair started for Arkansas , nnd the hus

Captain Charles Heeso , of Charleston , S.
C. , nnd Miss Mary Frances Orady , eacli
somewhat past the moridaii of life , met
eighteen years ago. Last week they met for
the second time at the Union depot in Cin
cinnati by arrangement , and two hours Inter
they wore married.
Captain Loose was a guard at Libby prison
uurniK the civil war. Miss Grady'a brother ,
a lieutenant in the confederate service , wns
Heeso's messmate , and died away from home
and under his care. Ever since then Cop-
tain Uceso nnd Miss Grudy have constantly
corresponded , meeting but once during the
twenty-live years intervening. Bv corre
spondence they agreed to meet nt the Union
depot In thus city nnd be married.
The captain had his uiarrincre license with
him , and together they proceeded to the
nearest Jnstico , whore tdoy wore married.
The couple will probably reside in the future
In Clay county , whcrc > the now Mrs. Heeso
is the owner of an extensive farm. Cnptnin
Hcese wns wounded several times in the
confederate service , and wns on the Alabama
when it was sunk off the coast of Franco.
The other night in the residence of Mrs.
Elizabeth Drown , of Xenia , O. , n widow
fifty years old , n wedding was arranged , and
the guests and minister nnd groom , Frank
Ward , aged twenty-six years , were present.
Just before the ceremony Mr. George Ward ,
father of the groom , who resides near New
Jasper , came in nnd told his son if hu mar
ried the widow he would cut him off with
out n cent. The ungnllant man broke up the
festivities of the occasion 'oy going homo
with his father. An effort was made to have
tno young fellow make another trial , but it
wns no go. His father's threat to disinherit
him knocks all the romance out of his scheme
to marry n widow twice us old as lie is.
An unhappy woman is Mrs S. J. Taylor , of
Boston Highlands. She Is at St. John.N. B. ,
nuiotig strangers , deserted by n recreant
lover who flinched from the hymeneal ordeal.
The lady has charms of person and manner
which would tempt nn anchorite , but her

fair widow almost nt the altar.
Mrs. Taylor was to have become a bride ,
the ceremony being announced to take place
at ber cosy homo In the Highlands. Friends

believed , soon to forsake the chilliness of
widowhood , nwaited the coming of the bride

earnestness born of experience. She learned
that ber Adonis had sought refuge iu St.

Indignantly demanding nn explanation ,
Mrs. Taylor threatened to liavo the unwilling

One nl'llie Most Cruel I'lirlU.s Iu
the History of Indian
\\urfnvc *
Kvory Mnnn Hero.
The 21st of December , ISSii , says GPII-
oral Urlsbin in the Chicago Tunes , will
bo remembered us long in the Powder
river country ns the lioth ot .lime , 1870 ,
will be remembered in the valley of the
Little Hig Horn. On the former dtitu
fell Colonel Fot.terniaii , Citotnin Fred
erick Brown , Lieutenant George \V.
Grunnnorul , sovonty-slx enlisted men ,
and two citizens. On the hitter dale
fell General Ctistor , eleven olllcors , 2SI
onlihted men , uud throe elti/.ens. Tlvo
massacres marked epochs in the history
of Indian warfare in our country.
With the Intlm- massacre we have
nothing to do here , it is still fro.sh iu
he minds of men , and thousiuida of
pens have told the MK ! story of ( . 'lister's
folly and the sacrilieo of his bravo and
devoted command. With the former
massacre it is our purpose and province
to deal in thia sketch of the I'owdor
river country.
On the day of the massacre the chil
dren who had boon outside of the giUvs
of the fort playing , ran in shouting ,
"Indians , Indians ! ' ' At the .same tiim1
the scouts on 1'ii-Uot hill signalled that
the wood-train had been attacked. The
wagons were also reported as having
gone into corral not far from the fort.
Colonel Fetlcrinati was detailed , and
Lieutenant Grummoiid , nt his own re
quest , wont with Fottorman , Captain
Hrown wont without orders. The de-
tnchmcnl under Kottormau , when it
marched out , of the fort , consisted of
himself , Lieutenant , ( irummond. Cap
tain Brown , and Whctitloy. the guide ,
and Fisher , an experienced froutiei'--
niaii , with seventy-six enlisted men.
Colonel Carringtoti sny.s ho gave FeHer
man particular orders to relieve the
train , and under no circumstances
to go bnyoud Dodge Trail ridge. Col
onel Carrington repeated his orders to
the mounted party. After Fetternian
had started , it being ascertained there
wus no medical olliuer with the com
mand , Carrington sent Dr. Hiues with
an orderly to overtake FoUcrmnn and
report to him. The doctor soon re
turned and said the train had gone on
to the woods and that Colonel Fetter-
man was on the ridge with hosts of In
dians in his front. Dr. IIiuos said be
saw so many Indians to the right lie
could not join Fettorinau. Pretty soon
firing was heard and it was very sharp
for a time. The Indians were falling
back and Fetternian following them
steadily. The firing died away for a
time , but was soon renewed with such
rapidity it was evident to all that heard
it a battio was in progress. Iu about
twelve minutes Captain Ten Kyclt ,
Lieutenant MaUon , Dr. Hines , and
Dr. Ould marched out with a relieving
party to support Fettermau. They
moved at a double-quick ; and made
straight for the ridge where Fottorman
was lighting. Hn bad now disappeared
over the ridge at what was known as
Sullivan's hill. It was evident ho wus
driving the Indians and it was hoped
he would bo successful in winning the
battle. The firing was increasing all
the time and Colonel Carrington or
dered all the garrison to muster , and
the wagons und ambulances to be
hitched up.
TIIK DKATH STUrOOLK HAD COJIK
and every ono seemed to know it. There
were two heavy volleys , then some
shuro file-firing , and all was quiet over
the hill. Had Colonel Fetterman suc
ceeded in beating the Indians or was
he himself beaten ? The movement ofTen
Ton Eyck's party was watched with in
tense anxiety.
Just before Captain Ton Eyck reached
the top of the ridge all firing beyond it
ceased. Hither Fettermau had gained
n great victory or ho was himsclt sur
rounded and being slaughtered. The
strainatlir.it was terrible. It seemed
an age , but it was really only a few min-
uteR , until Orderly Siuuplo was seen re
turning at full speed on Ins horse to the
fort. He brought the nn\vs \ that the
valley beyond the ridge was filled with
hundreds of yelling Indians and that
nothing could bo scon of Fettermau or
his men. They challenged Ten Kyek
to coino on and made a movement to his
right as if to cut him oil' from the fort.
Ten Hyck , seeing ho could not light
witli his looblo force one-half the In
dians iu uis front , fell back steadies a
short distance , but soon advanced again
as the Indians seemed to _ be rumiing
away. Ho was very cautious , but the
Indians were evidently withdrawing to
the oast. The skirmishers soon eamo
upon the bodies of Fotterman and liis
party , all killed , ficalpod , and many of
them horribly mutilated. Fotterman
and Captain Brown wcro found at a
point nearest the fort , each with a re
volver-shot in the left temple and both
so scorched with powder as to leave lit
tle doubt they hud shot each other when
all hope of KUCCCSS or escape had lied.
\\rhoatley and Fisher were found near a
pile of Hocics surrounded by exploded
cartridge shells , allowing their Henry
riilos had done good execution before
they were captured and killed. Tlioro
wore iiiiO Winchester shells lying nbout
Jim Whoatloy's rock. The men lav on
the top of a narrow ridge over which
the road ran. They had evidently been
drawn into a trap and attacked on all
sides by overwhelming numbers. Thorn
was a ravine beyond whore they had
lirst , been assaulted and then retreated
to the ridge to make thulr death stand.
All the evidences of the ground showed
they had fought well , but not a man
wns left to tell the tale of how they
ought. A bugler boy hud
IvILLKI ) AN INDIAN" WITH HIS IIUQI.K.
A soldi or was found grasping a naked
gun-barrel in iiis stiffened lingers. An
other hold a buteher-kiiifu in his dead
hand and half the blade was broken oil
in the body of tin Indian.
Captain Ten Kyek recovered nnd
brought Into the fort forty-inno bodies
of Fettermun'd command , including the
colonel's and Brown's. Lieutenant
Grutnmoud'b body could not be found.
It was long after dark when Captain
Ten Eyck returned with his sad burden
of forty-nine dead men , who marched
ou U of that fort at noon full of hope ,
strength , and vigor.

Captain William .1. Fotterman was
the bou of a military father , Captain
George Fottermuu long since dead ,
William Fottormaii was appointed llrst
lieutenant in the Eighteenth infantry ,
May 14 , 1801 , and became captain in Oc
tober , 18ttl. Ho served throughout the
war , and was brovetted for gallant con
duct at the battles of Murfrcesboro ,
Tonn [ , Jouesboro , Tenn , , and on the
Atlanta campaign , lie was bravo , but
impulsive. Ho had a great contumpt
for the Indian , and this feeling brought
him to ruin , and with him nearly a
hundred others. Ho was a good , kindhearted -
hearted gentleman , and was sincerely
mourned by his comrades. At the lime
of his dentil ho was the senior captain
in his battalion.
Captain Fred Hrowu , , w.ho was killed
witli Colonel Fottormnu , rose from the
ranks. Hu was appointed second lieu
tenant Oct. 110 , 1801 , in the Eighth in
fantry , llr.st lioutoi.ant March 21 , 1802 ,
and captain May lo , 1800 Ho was hre-
vetted for galhint conduct on the At
lanta campaign. Ho was a bravo man
hut very impulsive nnd always wanting
to tight. Ho got onoughiof it at last.
George \V. UrummOnd was appointed
second lieutenant , Eighteenth infaiury.
May 7,1800 , and was Mcillbd in the fall
of the sumo year. Ho Volunteered to
go with Fottermau and of coui-so
know nothing about Indiiins. Ho left a
young mm spirited 'wife who at first
was very bitter against Currlngtou for
the loss of her husband and blamed the
colonel for causing herliUHbaud'H death ,
but she ia uowCarrington's second wife ,
BO that if he lost her a husband ho sup
plied her with ono and that makes it
oven for Mona.
Tills is the pitiful story of the Phil
Konrny massacre , which never need
have happened. Like the Custor imis-
sacro , it was the result of rashness and
the pity Is not HO much that Fottorman
and Custor were killed as that BO
many poor follows were killed with
them.
Since writing the foregoing I have
viaited the Fottorman massacre ground
nnd inspected it carefully , making

It is about twenty miles from this post
( Fort MoKinnoy , "VYyo. ) It is on the
main road from Buffalo to Sheridan
nnd Fort Ouster. The old fort Phil
Kearney was at the crossing of Piney
creek , a rapid mountain stream of clear ,
cold water and now stocked with trout.
A farm covers the parade ground , and
hardly a vestige of the old fort remains.
I called at l.ho farmer's house. Mr. Fos
ter , and to my surprise found ho know
little about old Phil Kearny or Fetter-
man 's massacre. "Yes , " he said in re
ply to a question , "ho knew there had
been a fort there ouco , and some men
had been killed , but it was a long tjmo
ago , before ho came to this conn try , and
ne knew little about it.1' He' had
bought the laud and the parade
ground was now a wheat Held. The
Cfoldcu grain was waving in the
broe/.o and the bright sun
shine streamed down over meadow
and field. Mr. Foster had cut
down the flagstaff , but said ho could
show me whore it had stood , as the
"stump" was still in the ground. lie
did not half like our going into the
grain , but was finally persuaded to ac
company us. Wo found where the ilag-
stalT had stood , and knowing the form
of the fort , I could from the stnIT readily
imagine how the buildings had stood.
1 found the line officers' quarters and
walked up it to the site of the command
ing olllcors' quarters , wliero Colonel
Carriugton and his wife had spent so
many anxious , sad , and unhappy days
and uiglits. I stood on the very spot
over which hnd boon the bedroom of
the beautiful but llery Mrs. Grummoiid
and to which she returned a sad and
lonely widow the night after the mas-sa-
cre. ' Ilor house was next to ( 'olouol
Carriugtou's , and I walked to the spot
and blood on the MI mo earth that her
feet had pressed more than twenty
yoarri ago , on the day wlu-u she gave
Colonel Carriugton such a tongue lash
ing for the loss of her hunband. It all
came back to me , ouch house rose again
before me and stood there with the
hundred incidents connected with it
and its inmates. I rolloctcd so long
Farmer Foslor said : "I guess we will
got a cold dinner if wo do not hurry
liucit tc the house. "
Over beyond the fort was the grave
yard who'ro the massacred men Iio
buried. It was on the slopu of the hill
mid a full quarter of a mile from the
fort. Oneo it had been foacoii but the
lire had burned the grass and some of
the posts , and then the place being
partly fallen down the farmers soon
helped out the lire by hauling away the
rust of the posts and palings. The
ulaco was now open and the cattle had
trampled over and dunged upon the
graves , It made me mad to think the
government would allow the graves of
bravo soldiers who surrendered their
lives iu its defense to bo thus neglected
and desecrated. I wrote a hot letter to
the war dupartmoiit expressing my feel
ings , hut 1 reckon it will do no good ,
Some of the graves had boon opened
and the bodies taken out , but only a
few. The officers' graves were all
there except Grummoud'ri. which stood
open and deserted. Hln wife took his
remains back cast with her to TennoH-
see when she wont homo alter the inus-
Huuro. The bodies or enlisted men lie
in one common grave , a trench fifty feet
long by eight wide and sovou deep. The
earth had been heaped up in a long
mound over the dead and was Htlll
raised except in ono or two places
whore it has eunk as earth does in
graves whore the collln has rotted
away. I should think from the appoar-
nnco of the ground the collln H are still
in n good state of preservation , ana the
bodies well preserved.
The form of the grave is as follows :

Lincoln Journal : "So , count , you de
sire to marry my daughter ? ' '
These words came from the lips of
Regina'd do Montmoroncy , the mil
lionaire banker , us ho' stood in the
sumptuously furnished parlor of his
mansion on G street , facing a distin
guished gentleman of foreign appear
ance. The latter fervently replied :
"Yes , yes , I do. "
"I'll lot you know my decision to
morrow ; by the way count , my daugh
ter and I have arranged for u little
supper at Ormsbv's cafe this evening.
Will you join us' ? "
"With pleasure. "
II.
Gladys do Montinorency reclined on
liu excellently upholstered ottoman , in a
boudoir , the furnishing of which must
huve cost a good deal ol money.
There was a far-away look in her eye ;
thuro was a fur-way look in her other
nyo.
nyo.She was thinking of one who was
dearer to her than life. She was think
ing of the splendid Count Bologni ,
with his lustrous Italian eyi > s , and of
excellent chewing gum ho had given
her.

She was summoned to the library ,
where her father , the opulent banker ,
stroked her silicon hair and naid :
"Gladys , the count has asked for your
hand. "
"That's business , father ; there are no
llic.1 on the count. "
"Aro you sure , my daughter , that ho
in your kind of people ? "
"Dead sure. "
"Because , my child , " and his voice
grow tremulous with emotion , "because
I fear mo much that ho is not a count
at all. Methinks that when I was erst
while at Omaha I saw him a waiter in a
restaurant. My child ! O , my child !
These gray hairs would indeed go in
sorrow to the grave this old heart
would bu rondod in twain if I were to
see you in the boup. "
The lovely girl's breath came in gasps ;
she twined her beautiful arms about his
nock and whispered :
"What are wo going to do about it ? "
"Hnrkon , " her father replied ; "I
have a scheme number 'Ml , fiories D.
We'll Hike supper with him this even
ing , and I'll put him to a crucial test ,
then lot us abldo in peace. Kiss mo
again , my nngollo child. "
III.
Myriads of lights were gleaming in
Ormsby's magnificent cafe when Mr.
do Montmoroncy entered witli Gladys
on his arm , queenly in her beauty and
grace.
The count was already there , nnd the
throe hat down to a table togctoro.
"What ho , waitorl Come hither ! "
This stern command from Mr. do
Montmoroncy was instantly oboycd.
The waiter came to the table.
Gladys could feel the color leave her
cheeks.
She know thnt the moment for the
great test was como.
Even the stern lips of her father
quivered and tno cold perspiration was
on Iiis brow as ho said :
"Count , my daughetr and 1 only cnro
fora steak and a cup of colloo. Will
you order for us ? "
The count rose from his chair , and
hia ringing voice could ho heard
throughout the vast room as he said :
"Slaughter in the pan and draw on
in the dark twice. "
rv.
leaderthore is but little more to add.
Crushed and broken , Gladys retired
to a convent to end her lifo iu quiet
nnd solitude.
The count left for his nntivo coliu try
on foot , but a haystack in which he win

perished in the Ihunes.

Paul's Dislike for Gctvtter.
Maplesoifs Memoirs : In Chicago the
opera was "Lcs Huguenots , " with Patti
as Valentino and Gerstor us the Queoii.
Before the performance wns begun sev
eral costly boquels nnd largo floral set
pieces had been sent into the vestibule ,
according to custom , for Patti , whilst
only a small basket of flowers had boon
received for presentation to Gorster.
Under ordinary circumstances it is the
duty of the prima donna's agent to
notify the ushers when the tlmo arrivon
for handing uu the flowers. That even
ing Putti's agent was absent , and at the
close of the first act ( during which Val
entino has hardly a note to blag , whilst
the Queen has much brilliant muBio to
execute , ) hu was nownero to be found.
There was a general call at the close of
the act for the seven principal artists.
At that , moment the ushers , having no
one lo direct their movements , rushed
frantically down the aisles with llioir
enormous loads of boquoti and sut ,
pieces and passed them over the or
chestra rail to Arditi , who could hardly
lift them.
When these elaborate presentations
to Patti came loan end , an humble little
basket addressed to Gorster was passed
up. whereupon the whole house iiroko
out in ringing cheers which continued
Kuveral miniitos. This contretemps hud
the elfect of seriously annoying Patti
who. at the termnation ! of the perform
ance , made a vow that she would never
again appear in the same opera with

after the llual tall of the curtain , whoa
KJIU had time to think of her ludicrous
situation , she went into hysterics , la
her room in the hotel she threw herself
on the floor and kicked and struggled in
such a manner Unit it was only with the
greatest dilllculty she could bo got lo
bed. At one moment she would ex
claim : "It is all that Manlohon ! " and
actually did that bly old campaigner the
honor to charge him with having ar
ranged the sceiio in order to lessen her
value in the eyes of the publio , and thus
secure her for future performances at
reduced niton. ( Ho was then paying
her Vi.OOOaiiiglit ) .
Thou slio would take a tragic view of
it and attribute the misadventure to thu
malevolent inlko'ico of Gernter. The
amiable Etolka possessed , according to
her brilliant but superstitious rival , the
evil eye ; und after the all'air of the
Mowers no misfortune , grout or small ,
happened that Patti did not lay to the
malignant spirit animating Gerbter. If
anything went wrong , from a fulKo note
in thu orchofilra to an earthquake , it

exclamation when she felt the earth
