Nilsson’s Kindness.

Sacramento Bee. The railroad conductors and employes who were on the train that boie Mme. Nilsson away from the Pacific coast are enthusiastic in their praise of the great singer and excellent lady. Independent of her sweet singing, they were chanfied with her gentle manners, generosity, and kind consideration shown to every one, and to the public. Realizing the fact that the people of the interior could not hear her except in this way, she freely sang wherever people assembled. She did it, too, without condescension, and her face showed her happiness in being able to please them. She bowed with as much grace at the applause, and seemed as much delighted as if singing to a fashionable audience in a crowded theater. While crossing the straits on the ferry the passengers gathered about the car, and she sang to them. She treated Sacramento the same way. Rocklin was similarly favored, and the residents of Reno heard the famous lady. The the road were welcomed to her car, and she sang for them willingly. She expressed herself as delighted with Californiaand its climate>and theenthusiastic reception she met with, hoping some day to be able to return and view the wonders of which she heard' so much. All who saw her seemed to have fallen in lo»e with the lady.
