MDLLE, JENNY CLAUS.

“ Previous to the departure of Mdlle Jenuy Claus for Brisbane by the Leichardt yesterday afternoon,” says the Sydney Morning Herald of June Bth, “ a deputation of ladies and gentlemen waited upon her for the purpose of presenting her with a handsome gold locket and necklet, given by some of her many admiring friends as a slight token of their personal esteem, and aa a souvenir of her visit to Sydney. In presenting the ornament, Mr Windeyer, who was spokesman on the occasion, said he had much pleasure in asking Miss Woolley to hand it to a lady whose musicil talents had commanded the admiration of the public, whilst her pri vate worth had won her the esteem of all having the privilege of her acquaintance. Wherever she went he was sure she would have the sympathy of those who honored the pure and noble in art, and who appreciated genius capable of giving it expression. Mdlle Claus briefly returned thanks, saying she would always value the gift as a memento of her visit to Sydney, and the kindness of her friends there. The locket, which was ornamented with rubies, emeralds, and diamonds, in the form of a wreath, bore the inscription— 1 To Mademoiselle Jenny Claus, from charmed and delighted friends in Sydney, admirers of genius. June 7, 1875.’ ”
