FORTUNES OF SINGERS.

Mine. Parepa-Rosa is said to have died worth some LOO,OOO. She was a very thrifty woman, and looked well after the pennies. Mme. NilssonKozeaud has certainly not squandered her means, and is reported to have LI 00,000 invested in stocks and real estate. Miss Kellogg is worth probably LGO,OOO, well invested, and would be worth more if she was not so generous. She, or her mother, who acts for her, is close at a bargain, but liberal with money after she once gets it. Adelina Patti is extravagant and avaricious too. She makes a great deal of money, and spends a great deal as well. But she has saved a fortune. Mdlle. Albani is just beginning to make money; so she has not saved any so far. Mr Gye, however, will see that she does not lose anything. Lucca is more like the old-fashioned prime donne. She does not save a penny, though she makes a great many. Be Murska (but it would not do to mention her.) Adelaide Phillips is poor, through her generosity to her relatives. Miss Annie Louise Cary would save if she could only get a little ahead ; but she is so kind-hearted. Mme Anna Bishop belongs to the improvident, or rather, unfortunate generation. She has made fortunes, bxit only to lose them, and is a poor woman to-day. Carl Formes, Mario, Tamberlik, neither having anything left, not even their voices. Of the present generation Watch el is well off; so are Santley, Sims Reeves, Faure, and Niemann. Campanini saved, so did Carpi. Capoul didn’t; neither did Maurel nor Brignoli, and the tenors and baritones of the second class are poorer than church mice,—* Boston Gazette. 1
