The heat was most oppressive, but the puDuo cared not a straw for that. Would they miss such a treat as had Deen promised? Would they miss nearius the vocalist about wh m so muon uu been said and written? Not they. For some week the boardings had .... . 1 a been covered with various toiou placards, announcing that Miss Rose Pertolli would shortly make her first appearance before the English public. The newspapers had said that she was not an Italian, as her nalne implied, but that she was an Enzlieh lady, and. having been adopted by Signor Per tolli, the emineat professor, she naa taken his name, and on this evening she was to sing some English ballads. An hour before the opening of the doors the hall was besieged by eager crowds. And when at last they were flung open, the house waa speedily filled from door to ceiling. "You stand there, Bob, and you will be able to hear all," sard Tom Bin?, as he placed Blind Tom carefully against one of the wings, and Bob, who was a great lover of music, prom ised not to move. Soon, above the roar of the orchestra, came those sounds sq dear to the debutante, the sounds of a thorough . English welcome. Signor Pertolli had introduced his pupil and adopted child. Miss Rose Pertolli. a rtA Ttlind Bob. thinking of other times and forgetting what he then was, clapped his hands heartily. And now the audience f ettled them selves, the conductor of the 1 rchestra raised his baton, and the plaintive notes of "Home Sweet Home," stole softly through the house. Blind Bob started violently', tbeo his hands drop ped to his aides, and down his rugged aheeks fell tear after tear. No sconer did Miss Pertolli open her lips than all felt that she was a brilliant vocalist. Every eye Was fixed upon her beauti fal and ejcpres sive face, but none saw the excited attitude of a man by the wines. "Be it everao humble, there's no place llae home," came softly and tenderly from the lips of the vocalist, and no sooner had it left them than a most awful shriek ran through the house, and Blind Bob? hoWing out his armi, tottered on thejstage, crying : "My child! my child! my 1 Rose! my child!" Mtes Rose Pertolli dropped the mu sic, and, rushing into the arms of Blind Bob. uttered but one word, "Father 1" before she fell insensible at bis feet The orchestra had stopped, and the publle were standing looking silently on the novel scene.

Those who had Known him in better times, when he was in the orchestras of the provincial thea tres, took compassion upon him and inserted advertisements in many pa pers, both London and provincial, but no replies . came. Bob's hair had rthantred from brown to pure white, his form was bowed, and it took him a long time how to walk a mile. But everywhere he went he waa greeted with great respect. All took compas sion upon the poor old man, and they considered his feelings, for never once a v.eir mention the name of his j wii aa we nave miu, wu '.llllll. is ui m - ments, Signor Pertolli came forward, apologized, and stated that with their permission Miss Rose Pertolli would appear later on. At the expiration of a week, the public were made acquainted with the particulars of the scene at Royal Concert Hall. They were as' follows : On the night when Blind Bob and Rose lay under the hedges some gip sies had passed, and seeing Rose and thinking that she would be a source of rjrofit to them, they quietly enveloped her in a sack, and, despite her strug gles carried her off. In one cf their vanathev kept her for some weeks, write their sentimenw, hoen 1 extremely substances on which, the ancient Rs sian manuscripts were written, were of three kinds, parchment, cotton paper, or bombasin, and paper made of linen rags. According to the testimony of the Arabian writers of the tenth century, the passports, or warranto of protection, 'and authority t travel, were written in Russia, on white bark. In the judicial acts of ri frees th century, we find the ex nreion. " And they were inscribed on bark. " " And they ?Uie accounts) "were kept an bak (1483). The Tiiiaaian Imnerial Library at Bt.

All the manuscripts and edicts of the eleventh, twelfth, thir teenth, and the first half; of the four teenth centuries are written on parch ment. This material is met with also at a later date, but not, frequently. The cotton paper or bonVbaain on which edicts were written;, and which was bound in the form of books, presents a thick, solid material. Before using, it was usually smoothW polished by the scribej with a tooth or similar in strument. Many of thej ancient Rus sian documents are- written on bom- . a A. 1 basin, as, for instance, ; tne xreaxy ue tween Simon the Proud.the first Grand Prince of all the Russia, with hie brothers, tn 1841, and also hi will in 1353. The oldest bookj of bombasin contained in the Imperial library dates from the year 1871, Paper made (ifiinen rags appeared in Russia like wise in the fourteenth century, con sequently about this time, it became known in Western, Europe; Karaon lse, the historian, remarks that paper made of rags was ini ancient times ob tained through the medium of the Ger mans. In 1664, England first oame into contact with Russia, when a char tered company was formed, invested with the exclusive i privilege of trade with that country. Among the early exports, paper is mentioned ; it was probably obtained for the first book printed in Russia '( Acts of the Apos tles, " which appeared in Moseew in 1S64. It is supposed that the manu facture of paper in Russia was not In troduced until the reign of the Cear Alexay Mifehailovich, or Feoor Alex ayitoh (1645-167&)., i The manufacture of the finer sorts of writing paper and letter paper in Rus sia dates from the reign of Alexander 1., who when in England in 1815, in vited en English paper manufacturer atnicted. at Peter- tsv , xiMuia. that dav I had to go to the back door of the saloon to get beer in stead of the front door.

This condition is of neces sity the one in which the "China doctor" must be found, for of surgery heJtnows nothing, and his pharmaco peia would disgrace a Piute "mediclme man."

This enlightened practitioner waa ed ucated in a Dutch colony, and is capa ble of writing a prescription in Latin. He is much sought after by his coun trymen, who give a widt berth to the Chinese quacks so liberally patronize ! by white people.
