SANFORD’S SCARE ABATED.
Sanford. Fla., Nov. 3.-—The excitement
is eonside ably lass here. Th few who tied
upon the first report are returning. An in
vestigation to-day favors the belief of no
yellow fever in Sanford. No infection lias
lieen traced. Mr Denham, the only sick
person in town, is much better. This is the
case Dr. Daniels examined. Dr. Brunner,
of Savannah, pronounces it not yellow
fever, and in order to satisfy all, a thorough
autopsy is to bo made to-aignt of the flrwt
death, Albert Lawrence. This is the only
ea-e where any doubt exists.
At a late hour it was decided to postpone
the post-mortem on Lawrence’s body till
morning.

numerously signed by taxpayers and busi
ness men of the county asking that $5,000
be appropriated to advertise the county

vote $3,000 for this purpose was deflate I.
Many people are surprised at the action of
the commissioners, and dispiensod also.
At the Boat'd of Trade meeting this after
noon the action of the County Commission
ers in refusing to comply with tho petition
of citizens to appropriate funds to advertise
Duval county was strongly commented on.
A mass mo ting of cil ize is was first pro
posed, but finally it was decided to have a
special committee see the Commissioners,

Four Hundred Nickels in Change.
From flic Birmingham (Ala. l Age.
Supi. Morton,of the Union Kail wav Com
pany, tells the following store: “When I
first took charge of the road'the drivers
complained to me of n certain Indy who
rode down and back again every day with
out paying fare. She would get aboard the
car and hand the drive, a $2O bill to change.
Of course, he could not change It, and could
not ask fne lady to get off, so she rode free
every trip. I decided that she was deliber
ately boating the company, and determined
to get even with her. One morning I gave
one of the drivers, on the line which passed
the lady's ho ns $2O in nickels, and in
structed him t-- change the lady’s bill. She
fell into the trap, an-1 about 10 o’clock
boarded the right car on her way down
town. She handed the driver the $2O bill,
and he promptly returned her 400 nickels.
She put her fare in the box, but she was so
angry she left the car and did not ride
again for a month. After that she always
had change when she boarded a car. It.
would surprise you,” continued Mr. Morton,
“to know how man) peojile, especially
ladies, beat the company out of then-fare iu
this way. They tender a $lO or $2O bill,
knowing very well that the driver cannot
change it, and iu that way secure u free

JENNY LIND DEAD.
The Swedish Nightingale's Voice
Stilled Forever.
London, Nov. 2. —Jenny Lind (Mine.
! Goldschmidt), the celebrate 1 Swedish
singer, is dead. She was (itl years of age.
She had been seriously ill for some weeks.
She retired from the stage after tier niar
j riage in America in 1853, but reappeared at
j various concerts in aid of charities. She
had not appeared in public since 180(5.
Jenny Lind, who had universally been
kinnvu a- the “Swedish Nightingale,” was
born in Stockholm. There stvtns to I*
some confusion about tiie date of her birth.
Some authorities give this as Fob. 3, 1820,
while others insist that slip came into the
world Oct. 0, 1821. At any rate, her intro
duction to the troubles of this mundane
sphere was not under the most auspicious
circumsfanftes. Her father was a teacher of
languages, aud her mother varied the du
ties of maternity with those of keeping a
school for young women; consequently,
Jenny was left very much to herself, an t
grew up without, much to relieve the mo
r.otony of a childish existence. But she
found surcease for her sorrows in song.
When she was only throe yeips oi l to sing
was her ruling passion—every melody that
struck her ear was retained with
an accuracy which caused gen
eral admiration; no work was done without
accompanying it with her clear voice, and
no pain during frequent illness prevented
her from finding consolation in song. < toe
day. when the child was about 8 years <>l i,
Mrs. LunJberg, a Swedish actress, accident
ally heard her sing, and was so surpi iseil by
tne talent and native skill displayed by
Jenny in the management of her voice
that she strove to 0 .1/11 the eyes of tint
child’s patents to the treasure they )*_.*-
seised. Mrs. Lind, with the prejudices
against the stage natural to a woman m her
position in life, would not listen at first to
;my proposition lront Airs. Luudberir.
However, the actress finally induced the
mother to take her child to Herr Crobius. a
music master living in Stectholm He.
iipen hearing th little girl sing, was even
m re astonished than Mrs. Lundberg at and
instantly determined to present her to
Count Pucke as a candidate for admission
to the musical school attached to the
Royal Theatre, of which the Count
was the manager. After some
tuition CkbUus took nis pupil before Pucke,
who, measuring the gentle little creature
with astonished eyes, at once demanded of
CrOßHus what he meant to do with such a
child, for she surely had nothing to fit her
lor the stage. Crcclius undertook to argue
the matter with Pucke and finallv secured
permission for tiie child to sing. He awaited*
with confidence tiie result, and scaicciy had
she snug ten measures until the Count be
came as enthusiastic as Oobllus and gave his
permission for her entrance ,to the school.
She was then placed under the care of Eras
inns Berg, a profound and skillful musician.
After studying under him for several years
the Stockholm public was astonishe t one
night at tiie appearance of a child in a
vaudeville performance. This was Jenny
Lind, who at once became a favorite and tne
prospect of her growing into an operatic star
was exceedingly flattering. But when about
14 years old her voice laded her, and she
was compelled to retire from the stage.
Crojlius, her old master, tried to re-awaken
the tones of his favorite scholar, but could
not. At length her voice returned, but it
was not the voice she once had, nor had it
yet acquired the wonderful beauty aud
purity which marked it in later "years.
After a concert tour throughout Sweden
sue secured funds enough to take her to
Paris, where she submitted her talents to
Garcia, the famous teacher, who, however,
told her that she must not expect to be
come a great singer. He told her, though,
to rest for three months and then return to
him. Jenny managed to live through the
period of her probation, though all alone
in the great city, aud then again visited
Garcia. He gave her hope. and
she went industriously to work, and finally
improved sufficiently to return to Stock
holm. When in Paris Jenny met Meyer
beer, the celebrated composer, and two
years later he invited her to join the opera
in Berlin, and in 1844 she went to the Prus
sian capital. At flr-t she made but little
impression on the public, as her voice had
not yet returned. But one evening, when
she was fsiuging in “Robert le Dial?!",” she
felt that it had returned, and, inspired by
the consciousness, sang the musico of Alice
with such force and power that she electri
fied tho public and astonished Meyerbeer,
who, from that moment, regarded her as
the first of singers.
WHY SHE DIDN'T SING IN PARIS.
From this point, her onward progress was
rapid, t her reputation soon spread
throughout Europe. She appeared in quick
succession in all the European capitals, save
one—Paris—and then visited the United
States, Cuba and Canada. Jealousy and in
trigue prevented her singing in the French
metropolis. When Meyerbeer first met her
in Paris, he recommended her most warmly
to the director of the Acadetnie de Musique,
who, complying with the maestro’s request-,
fixed a day for hearing her at tiie theatre.
Rossiui, Auber, Halevy, and other note!
musicians were summoned to hen" her, but
the director himself never made his nppear
ance. Mile. Rosina Stoltz, the then reign
ing queen of the Academic’* musical corps,
was the mistress of the director, aud she
forbade his presence on the occasion. Thus,
not even an offer was made to Miss Lind.
She was so offended by this gratuitous in
sult that she would never after consent to
appear in Paris.
Jenny Lind’s voice was a soprano of great
power. Its compass was two and a half
octaves. The upper notes especially were
clear, delicious intone, flexible and perfectly
at her command. Her voice was not the
less remarkable in its sweetness and perfect
purity of tone. Of the myriad of critics
who heard her after her voice recovered its
power not one could utter a syllubletif dis
paragement as regards the popular esti
mate of her surprising talents. Her dra
matic genius was of an order as high as her
natural vocal powers and recondite musical
science.
At the close of 1*45 the affairs of the Lon
don opera had reached a crisis which com
pelled extraordinary enterprise on the part
of Mr. Luiuley, the manager of Her
Majesty’s Theatre. The whole operatic
troupe, headed by Costa, the conductor, had
abandoned the the it re and established
themselves at Cm > lit • •• len. Lumlev had
but cue resource, v z,: to -cure Miss 1,in.l
at any price. Shi s. . for -<1 engagements
in London and on the t lit in -at. the forfeits
ot which Luiuley had .o pay. After ar
rangements had been completed with Miss
Linu, Luiuley a f tempted to secure for
her au adequate support. In this
be was only partially successful, and Miss
Lind found herself pitted against, a very
strung opposition, which she finally van
quished, and won the favor of the London
public. Her In-r appearance on the operatic
stage took place May 18.1849. The cause of
her retirement is said to have been the ob
jection of a man to whom she was engaged
to be married to her further appearance.
This engagement was afterward broken off.
Tiie operas with which she was most identi
fied were “Robert le Diable,” “Der Frei
schutz," “Nonna,” “Lucia di Larnmer
moor,” “La Figlia del Regimeuto,” Spou
tini’s “Vestale,” and Mozarts "Flauto
Magico.”
After her retirement from opera she still
continued to sing in oratorios and concerts,
and was on the Continent thus engaged
when, m 1849, P. T. Buinum. the well
known showman, conceived the idea of
bringing lier to this country. After con
siderable negotiation he agreed to pay Miss
Lind the non astonishing price of"91,0U0
each for 150 concerts, he to have the option
of closing tho engagement after 150 had
been given. This contract was modified
after a time. In addition, Mr. Bariiumwas
to pay all her expenses and those of her ser
vants and attendants. She stipulated that
she must lie accompanied by Mr.Julius Bene
dict (now Sir Julius), the London com
poser and director, and Sig. Beltetti, the
Itiliun baritone. Mattel's were arranged
with these artists, and Mr. Barnum tnen

continued unabated, aud Jenny I.ynd’s

all the celebrities of the day.
JENNY LIND IN NEW YORK.
Jenny Lind's first public concert was
given in Castle Garden. New York, Wednes
day evening. Sept. 11, nr.d was attended by
about 5,000 pent ms. She continued under
Bamuni’s management until June 1), 1851,
during which sue gave niueiv-lliree con
certs. They went from New Yo kto Phil

dence. Baltimore, Washington. Richmond,
Charleston, Havana, New Orle-ns. Natchez,
Memphis, Ht. Louis. Nashviiie, Louisville,
Madison, I rid., Cincinnati, Wheeling and
Pittsburg, returning to Philadelphia and
New York. The gross receipts of the con
concerts were $712,161. of which Miss Liml
received $17(5,075 and Mr B trnum $535,48(5.
HER HOMF. LIFE.
After her marriage she,with her husband,
returned to Europe. They lived in Dresden
some time, und in 185(5 returned to London,
where they continued to reside. Three chil
dren were born to them, one daughter and
two sons Their home for years was a
house covered with vines and surrounded by
trees and flowers, but Jenny L ed was for a
long tune a confirmed invalid, and would
very rarely see the casual caller. To all
Americans who knocked at her door to pay
their respects, the servant, who has lived
with her tor the last thirty years, delivered
ih - message that “Jenny Lind wishes them
to say tha : she will never reuse to love the
American people with all her heart.”
In private life Jenny Lind had been a
m>t charming woman. She was very
charitable, and was in the habit of, without
material recompense, giving musical in
struction to a class of poor young women.
LORD PAGET’S STORY.
The English Vagabond Sharp Once
More at Large.
Lord Paget, the counterfeit English
nobleman, alias Baron Matrey, Monnero,
Balleiityne, and half a dozen others, whom
adventures North and South created so
much stir last summer and who made Sa
vannah a brief visit, has been released from
jail in New Orleans, where lie has been for
sometime. Before leaving he told the story
of his life, refusing, however, to give his
true name, because in the light of his ad
ventures during tho past few mouths it
would reveal his identity.
After reciting the history of his boyhood,
which is about the same as that of the aver
age boy, he told how at the age of 18 his
fa; her sent him to Cambridge, and lie be
came an undergraduate of Magdelene
College with an allowance of £I,OOO per an
num ($5,000). He soon got into a fast set,
and what with Newmarket being near, ami
bookmakers who gave one good tips, money
tenders, etc., his thousan i wus nowhere. He
was finally expelled from college and his
father sent him adrift with £10,0i)0 and told
him to leave England and never set foot on
English soil again.
“i lost £B,(MO at gambling,” he said, “be
fore 1 got out of Europe, and arrived in
Australia with less than £I,BOO in ray pos
session. This, of course, I soon squandered
away, trying one speculation and another,
and at last I had not a sou left, when I met
an old school friend, named Bayley, who
obtained me a passage to England and lent
rue $lO. I turned up at home and had a
stormy Interview with my father, who said
I should never see another penny of his
money liefore his death, and then ail that
was in his power he would leave away from
me. He eventually, however, told ine lo
call on his solicitors. The next (lay I did,
and was told as long as I gave my word
never to return home during my father’s
life I should have an income of £3OO a year
unless I would agree to cut off the entail,
in which case I should receive the sum of
£IOO,OOO down; I refused. My father hav
ing three entailed estates an i a property in
London that must descend to me, huving
altogether an income therefrom of £15,000
per annum.' In as not insane enough to
sell my birthright for a mess of pottage.”
Paget said that he gets the £2OO sent in
January to am address or any name in the
world. He finally drifted into Germany,
where he met his friend Bayley, who was
masquerading under the name Paget. He
had been hiding from the English detec
tives for some months, and had baffled
them by enlisting, but lie had finally seen
his opportunity and got aboard a boat and
got safely away.
“1 next came to America,” 'said Paget,
“and here, again, my ill-luck came on, and
when 1 arrived in Toronto, under tho name
of Balleiityne, I kept up appearances, and 1
got into society, but left in debt, and taking
a leaf out of Baylev’s book, 1 cashed a check
on a bank I had no account at
I soon got into the wav of it;
I have cashed in New York and
Newport eleven in all. They have
been the first, aud as sure as there is a
heaven above, they will lie the last. Paget
said he is now going to Mexico and South
America to retrieve his fallen name and
fortunes. Relative to the aliases ho assumed
he saul that after leaving Bayley at Cologne,
having traveled that tar in company, he
went to Wcisbadeii, Frankfort-on-the-Main,
Heidelburg, Basle, Nantes, Monte Carlo,
Cannes, Aix le Baines, Turin, Florence,
Pisa. Leghorn, Rome and Naples under the
name of Paget. At Palermo and from
tli-re to New York he was known as Baron
.Matrey; in Toronto. Can., as Balientyne.
Returning to the United States, at Larch
inont, near New York, lie again assumed
the name of Puget, and sailed under these
colors until he reached Jacksonville, when
he became AVood—and now he lias no name.
About Asphalt.
Frum the Philadelphia Call.
“The most of the asphalt comes from
Trinidad,” said a dealer in the article tea
('••II reporter. “Trinidad, you knmv.es the
the most southerly of the group of the West
Indies, known as the Windward Islands,
aud is next to Jamaica. La Brae, the lake
from which the asphaltum is taken, ha- an
area of 150 acres. Charles Kingsley’s more
recent and exact measurement reduces tiiis
area to Bit acres. This, however, contains
millions of tons of the crude pitch, which,
in its refined state, is becoming so rapidly
popular on this continent from the imperish
able nature of the pavement constructed
from it. Asphaltum is also found in other
parts of the island. Though called a lake
or lagoon, this depot of pitch is for the most
part a solid mass, rent, however, by chasms
varying from three to thirty feet in width,
with no great depth, so thin they are trav
ersed without much difficulty. Here aud
there, wherever there is any soil, are clumps
of trees. The liquid portion of the lake lies
on the side nearest the sea, and only occu
pies a few acres in extent and of unknown
depth. The vast caldron of fluid pitch is in
a state of slow ebullition and exhales a
strong sulphurous and bituminous odor.”
Feathers are very rich in nitrogen and
should be used to add to the strength of tho
manure heap. Like bones they may be
quickly reduced bv soaking them in a solu
tion of sulphuric'acid und covering them
with a coarse compost, with which they
may be subsequently mixed. Indeed, so
strong are they that if pnqieiTy distribute 1
and applied the results on a crap of corn
will lie surprising.

Advice to Mocners.
Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup should
always be used when children are cutting
teeth. It relieves the little suffer at once; it
produces natural, quiet sleep by relieving
the child from pain and the little cherub
awakes as “bright as a button.”
It is very pleasant to taste. It soothes the
child, softens the gums, allays all paiu, re
lieves wind, regulates the bowels, and is the
best known remedy for diarrhoea, whether
arising from teething or other causes. 25
cents a bottle.
