THE WORLD'S FAVORITE.

Seven Golden Episodes in Christine k- Nilsson's Career.

Let not him that girdeth on his harness boast hiui3elf as he that putteth it off and let not him that commenceth the investigation of Nilsson with the purpose to do something critical and sharp and not at all gushing—let him not put that resplvcTOi* record, else in that record lie shall write himfelf down an a-s. I did feet out, dear reader (for, having investi- & gated Nilsson, I ain in a lender mood, and.shall call you dear, and hug you on presentation)—I did set out with that very, very rash intent. Heboid in these few pages the lamentable failure which I have achieved!

Speaking of failures —the iiistory of Christine Nilsson, from the time when she quit picking potatees on that little Smoland farm until the time when she finds herself immortalized in these pages, has been a series of triumphs. If one seeks for other than triumphs, let him go back to gome date previous to that when Christine ceased to be a carrier of potatoes—:for at that art anji-af the general

RtmiTof peaSffnt girls' duties, she adthat she was a failure. Only the fathering of fagots in the woods suited ier, and this because she could roam much at will among the trees, and see the blue sky, and think of things which are bey,ond both trees and skies. This period of her life was, as I say (perha ps because thp fagot-gathering did not come often enough) a failure, or at least a troublesome puzzle. Did the good God, whom she intuitively loved, and to whom she still habitually appeals, with a piety truly beautiful—did He intend that she should gather potatoes to his glory for ev er and ever? did lie intend that -she should wash the Nilsson dishes 'and sweep the Nil.--.--on floors for aya? Something within her little bones told her No. The old women of

Wexiojjill saidNo, too for Christine was the seventh child, born after a lap.^e of seven yfears,from the birth of the sixth, and of bourse she would come to some thing Wonderful. (Thia oracle was probably prptnulgated after Christine became famous} but of course it was just as true before.) "No," therefore w.n the solution/of this problem but wliat of the other^ What

was

hhe

Christine untdc for?

Sh&ssobn began to solve this question,-too by tli^aid of her brother's liddle. She discovered a wonderful faculty for retain ing^ttnd reproducing melodies. To do this with the voice alone—that was notli the Bame as breathing but aid, or rather the ob stacle, of a violin, that was like eating and drinking—that was

fun.

And so she

becaifie, at eight, a juvenile violinist prodigy, indeed, wandering with her brother from hamlet to h.-uulet (near home, and winning many kisses and many pennies for her talent.

Eureka! the problem was solved. She was b(Jrn 'o be a musical geniiu. The vi olin, she thought music at any rate.— This problem solved successfully, Chris tine's life became, as I have said, a series of triumphs. Let us fairly epitomize the best of them, and allow the remainder to take oare of themselves.

Agreed? First, then, observe the girl at Ljungby Fair—the one that took place in the year of our Lord 1857. The peasants are gathered, and are bent on their jo cunu sports. The man with the peep show amuses much the ventriloquist still more, as he talks from his belly, and seems to throw his words into all impos "fees. But who is that twelve-,years-old girl who, with her liddle under her arm and her flaxen braids hanging straightly behind, admires so intently the man's trickery, and envies him so keenly liis wonderful gift? That is little

Christine,

the child-wonder and however the other shows and sports may please, it is when

plays and sings the delight of the throng if greatest. She must be particularly inspired to-day, for when she finishes, the huzzas ring out, the matrons all press to embrace her, and the man with the peep-show makes her an offer of ,HL2s&.YtentyJive rixdalers if she will come and play~1or him a year! This was her first •3 triumph. Who shall say it was less in •8 degiee than those more noted ones which 1 she has since achieved?

II.

Christine, dutiful and affectionate child that she was, could not bear the separation from her mother, and therefore, with many tears, said No to the mountebank Then, shortly after, the village magis-vtm-trate, becoming interested, came in with a tempting ofler to take charge of the girl, procure her education, and make an other Jenny Lind of her. Of course the .mother knew the last proposition was fea-

'T" year7? but

where the pins go

before they get out of their teens. Christine went to no such place, how evfr. She went to Gotten burg, afterwards to Stockholm, and afterwards to Paris, to be finished into an artist. The ".mother had objected to the magistrate's t^freposition, but said, "If you ever have a third offer, my child, you may go but do not ask me." And sure enough, when the next offer came, from the Baroness Leulmsen,

Christine accepted, eagerly but tear fully. She chose her career, and entered upon it as eagerly as the bird long pent, stretches his wings and soars into his element.

She had studied two years in Gottenburg, a year in Stockholm under Franz Berwarld, and three years in I'aris, under and in a very select ladies' finislj"now in the autumn of 1S64, she had been brought forward to make her

ingi

debut

Swedish

as the Theatre Lynque,

in the character of Viotetta in *Traviata. The story of this

dcbiU

is also familiar to

the public. The fresh, fair Swede had shown Paris a picture of the frail

aux Camellias

such as they had never seen

before. She had touched all their hearts with the tenderness and pathos of the

Jpersonation,

jv tlie brilliancv of her vocalization and the purity of lier tones. The plaudits rang, the bouquets rained over the stage, the happv girl was called repeatedly before the curtain,—and the second triumph was complete.

During the season at the Lyrique, Christine became thoroughly the pet of the Paris public. Her name was upon everybody slips but while their praises rang in her ears, she did not forget her poor humble parents at Wexio. She -seized the earliest moment to visit tliem (and lipply her saviogs (which, on two thousand francs a reason, could not have been very princely) to thi bettering of her father's worldly circumstances. The old man had attempted to be a landholder—something extraordinary for a

The Emperor regretted not having a bouquet of his own to send, but would take the liberty to send one in the morning. It came—pearls and.diamonds in a gorgeous set of ornaments.. Can you, dear reader, sliift sufficiently, the foibles a' the stage, of Paris, and of womai'iind, to set

down as one of ou» heroine's red-letter triumphs?

There was a rival. Or rather, we may say that Christine herself had sprung into such prominence as to become thereby a rival to Patti, whose title to

and had failed—that is,

-Jjecome bankrupted in the attempt. It w^Christine's privilege to set her father oil "hi*legs agaiiij buy back the hoincsteiul' in which she was born, and vest the free title to it in the parent Nilsson, "his heirs and assigns forever.''

But it was the concomitants of their journey to Smoland that were most memorable. and which must have constituted that "proudest moment" of one's life, to which the orators of the banquet-table are so fond of alludinp. At «ery station that Christine passed after entering Sweden on her filial pilgrimage, there gathered the mayor or magistrate of the town, and the people

there being present only the

Queen, Prince Leopold, Princesses Louise and Beatrice, and two ladies in waiting, to receive Miss Nilsson and her lady companion. They had a good leininine 'sit down" of it and Christine sang and Victoria cried until both were very happy. The Queen is an excellent roniioii-

But if you will go (in imagination, of couisei to my lady's boudoir as she is preparing to retire at night, you will find that it is not the rich tokens of royalty over which she lingers longest and mast fondly. It is a little plain photograph, set in a little plain case, such as many of us have upon our mantles. The subject is a genteel, refined, amiable appearing young men, with handsome face and a very prepossing expression. This gentleman—August liouzod—is the lucky fellow who is to fold to his bosom, some happy day, the object of a world's idolatry—the concentration of so many millions of heart-currents—the centre from which have radiated so many pulsations of sympathy, stirring millions of souls. This much-to-be-felicitaled Kouzod, a stock-broker by trade, wa at last accounts on the rampants of Pari.-, defending his country from th invader and his betrothed was read.ng daily the news of the war, and watching hourly for little square letters, nf the shape and size which charac!e:ize the "balloon mail" of Paris.

crown had not been disputed of late. Patti, having conquered Paris, had marched, like Bonaparte, upon the capitals of Northern Europe, and had, unlike him, succeeded in capturing them all,— kings, armies and populace. Nilsson had fairly supplanted the dark-eved

diva

Paris. Could she overcome her elsewhere, or we£ her popularity thus far some whim of 'he capricious Parisian.The London p^bli •. as well as London society, was cold anct critical. But it was not careless or stupid and Christine felt that »he could establish herself, or establish the altar of the chaste goddess whose priestess she felt herself to be, as firmly in London as in Paris. So, too, believed the warm-hearted manager, Mapleson so, too, the sagacious and accomplished Englishwoman whom Christine had adopted as lier constant companion, adviser, and close friend. They were right. They conquered England with so much greater ease than Csesar ever accomplished that tak, as to rob that ancient commander of all legitimate title to his much mooted motto of

Veni, vidi, vici.

The London public was as crazy as that of Paris in its admiration of the Swedish cantatrice, and Hocked in immense numbers to hear her in "Traviata," "Faust," "Martha," "Don Juan," "Lucia," and all the standard operas, particularly her specialty of Ophelia, in "Hamlet."

But the consummation of her triumph was not until a year, or two later, when the Prince of Wales i*2ceived the Viceroy of Egypt, and when both Nilsson and Patti were invited to the reception. The Marchioness (that is Patti, who sports some sort of Marquis for a husband, you know) sailed into the principal saloon, thinking, "Well, here, at least, I can mortity my rival the Swede Here figuie among the lords and ladies, bet aue I am a marchioness.

the

must go in among the

artists, to signify that she is simply tolerated because she can sin^. Aha, my pretty Swede! Don't yon wish"

She stopped short for there, conversing in Swedish with the Princess of Wales, stood the object of her sudden pity, apparently the mo-t at home, the most ab sorbed aiul the least self-conscious person in the throng. The high-spirited Marchioness passed the evening gloomily, and retired early (poor C'aux!), while her flaxen-haired rival was very particularly waited upon at table by the Viceroy him self, who of course was the lion of the evening. I It ink, ifanv woman could be magnanimous towards another, this gentle Cli: istine would be the one toshowthat noble though by no means feminine quality but, as human nature goes, 1 cannot but guess that there was some extra fervent embracing between the young

prima donna

and her dear and adopted mother when they retired to their rooms that ni^lit, and that this event furnished as marked and inten.se ah emotion of triumph to Christine as almost any other of her life.

VI.

And now she has crossed the ocean, to sing to the savage Americans for a hundred nights, and at a price for each night which would have tzken her near three years to earn at her first wages in Paris. The compensation is greater than had ever been paid to any artist, in any country. The savage Americans turn out to be a people worth singing one's best to. Their critics (sagacious creatures!), determined not to be caught with any Old World chaff", attempt to decry the new candidate's voice but all of them succumb to it sooner or later, and add their tardy acclaim to that of the populace. Even to far Chicago the

furor

has

penetrated, and the fair conqueror finds there awaiting her a laurel wreath of massive gold, with which she is formally crowned in the midst of a vast throng and an intensity ot enthusiasm which proves to her that wherever in the wide word the Scandinavian tongue resouDds, there beat true Scandinavian hearts, eager to pay their tribute to the song queen of Sweden, and claim for her the homage of the world. Nor was it her countrymen alone who paid their

devoirs.

Thousands of all nationalities thronged about her, pledged her health in persist ent toasts, sang her praises in every strain, and jostled each other to obtain the boon of a smile fiom her lips, or even a sweep from her garments, or a fragment from the table, as a memento of the occasion when they beheld Nilsson face to face. Silly, you say? Silly, no doubt but exceedingly human. And, having exercised ourselves so much to keep pace with the worshippers of her car in other cities and countries, we cannot but claim our Chicago demonstration to

La Viva

another of her seven triumphs. The laurel wreath suggests other

which Mile. Nilsson cons over

with pride, and events to which she looks back with similar emotion. Among the trinkets are a diamond brooch of fabulous cost, ordered for her by the French Emperor, containing in diamond letters the the word "Marguerite," that being the personation of Mile. Nilsson of which Napoleon was mcst enamored a set of ornaments of emeralds and brilliants, from ]C:igenie a pair of bracelets from Queen Victoria and the Princess of Wales, one of sapphire and diamonds, and the other of rubies and peails. These are the two which Christine is most accustomed to wear upon her right arm, at a concert of an evening.— One of those upon the other arm is from the Prince of Wales, and bears his initials, "A. E." in large letters foinird of pearls. The gorgeous necklacc of large pearls and diamonds which she sometimes wears is from the Duke of Massa, a composer of much merit other jewels and ornaments, numbering many, are fro'.n adies of rank in England, and anions the trophies of a more emblematic character is a very delicately finished wreath of gold presented at Iiaden by Do Pressicr, the nabob of that watering-place.

4 Italian Liberty andUuity." Prom the Independent^ JTan."19.J'~'il" That the priests and tnshops of the Catholic Church in this country—the most of whom are foreign importations—. should Eeriouslv attempt to arouse the sympathies of the American people in behalf of the dethroned and fallen Pope, and especially that they should employ such arguments as contradict the very first principles of our political and civil institutions, is a most astounding evidence alike of their assumption, bigotry, and stupidity. Whatever timid, time serving and stilish politicians may think it prudent to do or omit, lest perchance they give umbrage to Catholics, the great body of the people look upon the overthrow of

Pius IX as the temporal sovereign of Ihe States of the Church, and the establishment of a constitutional government^ under an elective parliament, with Victor Emanuel at its head, as among the important events that will make the past year memorable in the annals of the world. Italians, especially the former subjects and vassals of His Holiness, though for the most part Catholics, and all the liberal Catholics of Europe, have already hailed these events with shouts of joy.

This effort to sustain the Pope in his pretended rights and claims to the temporal power received a deserved rebuke at the great meeting held last week in New York. That meeting represented the public sentiment of America and, as we doubt not, it will be succeeded by others in different parts of the land, presenting the same views and expressing the same feelings. Archbishop Spalding, of Baltimore, L)r. Manning, and all the other Ultramontanists of the Papacy, will find themselves much mistaken if they suppose that the public opinion of this country can be either wheedled or frightened from a full and earnest utterance of American sentiments. Their denunciations of Victor Emanuel as a sacrilegious spoiler, and of the Italians as rccseant to the faith of the Mother Church, are alike powerless and contemptible. It is difficult to characterize them as they deserve. They are out of date and out of place. As logic, they are .-imply impudent when addressed to American ears.

There has been no time during the present century iii which Italians belonging to the States of the Church would not have summarily dispensed with the Pope as a temporal sovereign, but for the influence and intervention of foreign powers. After the downfall of the First Napoleon, the Holy Alliance took charge of theRoman I'ontill, and for a series of years kept him on his throne, In 1839 this task passed specially into the hands of Austria, and tl'.ere remained till the revolution of 1848 transferred it to France. This revolution resulted in the expulsion and flight of the Pope and the establishment of the Roman Republic. Louis Napoleon, then President of the French Repablic, for purely political reasons, having reference to plans he was then maturing to subvert the liberties of France, sent an army to Rome, crushed the infant republic, restored the Pope, and has maintained Iih power by French bayonets up to the period of his own prostration by Prussia, in defiance of the wishes and against the earnest protest of the Roman people. These are well known facts of history.

The very first opportunity the Romans have had to throw off this pontifical yoke, assert their own liberties, and unite themselves with the Italian nation, they have embraced with a greediness which, while it shows the oppressions under which they were groaning, ought to fill the world with admiration. Of the 40,S8I votes that were cast in the city of Rome on the question of uniting the States of the Church with the Kingdom of Italy only forty-six were in the negative and a like unanimity marked the vote in the several provinces of the Pope's dominions. No more striking expression was evergiven to the public will and Americans would disgrace their own antecedents, and be untrue to themselves, if they did not send hearty words of.cheer to the Roman people, and congratulate united Italy, with her twenty millions, that the land of poetry and of song has now passed the long and dark night of petty and contending sovereignties, and emerged into the broad day of a comprehensive and undivided nationality, with the motto of "A free church in a free state" written on its banner.— The lovers of liberty throughout the world, and all the friends of true relig ion, whether Catholic or Protestant, alike rejoice that the politico-spiritual despotism of the Papacy, which has been the curse of both church and stale, seems to have received its final and finishing blow. While humanity weeps in sadness over the terrible desolations of the great Franco-Prussian war, it accepts this result with sincere gratitude to God, and devoutly prays that no schemes of cabinets or kings may ever be permitted to reverse or change it.

Such is the strong feeling that prevails generally throughout the nation, and of which the New York meeting is a fitting expression. The principles of free government are just as .good for Romans as they are for Americans and that man is a traitor to these principles, be he archbishop or layman, who denounces their application to any country on the broad face of the earth. The people have as much right to dispense with a pope as with a king, since neither has any just authority except by their consent. The pretense that the two hundred millions of Catholics outside of the former States of the Church have the right to force a pope upon a people against their consent is the argument of a bigoHind a tyrant. l! will not pass current in these United States, even though it falls from an archbishop's lips. Wc have no violence of antipathy to pour out against Catholics yet we advise them to study the principles of the political system under which they are here livinsr, and concede to all others what they so richly enjoy for themselves. It will be in them a gieat mistake !o repudiate the most elementary maxims of republican governments on account of their attachment to the Roman Pontiff as their spiritual head. A few more such utterances as tho-e of Archbishop Spalding and Dr. Manning will place Catholicism at an enormous discount on this side of the Atlantic, and justly subject il to the charge of being anti-republican to the very co-e.

The position in which the Pope is placed under the Italian Government is not one that interferes with the freest exercise of liif spiritual functions, lie is not outlawed in his pontificate, or banished from Rome but simply relieved by the voice of the people from the cares of state, that Ilis Holiness and his cardinals may give their undivided attention to the cure ot souls. lie can now confine himself to the legitimate use of spiritual weapons, as Paul did ages ago, leaving those that are carnal to other hands.— Instead of being invested with civil powers, and made independent of all human authority, he now becomes, like the Catholic priesthood in other countries of Europe, simply a subject of law, while retaining all his relations and rights as the head of the Church and the Vicar of Christ, in the direct line of succession from St. Peter, according to the theological programme of Papal doctrinaires.and the unreasoning faith of hoodwinked millions. Providence, slow.in action but sure in final results, has at length assigned to him the position wliiclrSt. Peter never left and it had been well for the world if all the popes of history had been content in this re=pect to imitate the example I of their model bishop.

But if he could get four thousand dollars and an Indian' Agency from the Bepublican party, lie preferred to stay and vote with the Republicans. lie asked Captain Kensler to be instrumental in getting five thousand dollars from the Republican party, and keep one thousand for his trouble. He (Elliott) said he did not care a d—n for his constituents—he was alter the money now—and the reason why he waited until Saturday to answer whether he would resign or not was, he was sure he could get the money from one parly or the other by that time. He owned a farm in Kansas, and expected to move there when his time was out, and he did not care what the people of Indiana thought of him.
